Preach it brother. I'm so happy with the ridiculous amount of stuff shown at this conference. Sure there might have been a presentation misstep here or there, but the overall quality and amount of games is just wonderful.
Fuck the haters. Every conference gets a good score from me this year, which has never happened in the last.
I think it's selective. Sure there are more critical reactions but also a lot of positive posts. Of course those don't stick out that much. Also, it's okay to be critical of a game or post your concerns, as long as you're not drive-by trolling. As impressive as these games are, there are also plenty of valid issues people have. None of these showings are perfect.
Definitely.
i'm notoriously bad at spotting stuff like that so I'm just going to choose to believe you. Who knows, maybe they'll adjust Ellie's love interest to look more like Shannon. That said all that matters is that Ellie fancies her ;)
Why would they? I bet they're loving the fact that people are refusing to believe that it is not scripted. Just like during UC2/3 reveals people refused to believe that they were not entirely CG.
Lol
It's sarcasm. Thought it was obvious.
Just making fun of some fanboys who think that only Nin can do great gameplay.
I'm sure it'll be just as big of a failure as Horizon and God of War were going to be.
Yeah didn't recognize her at all. Not that it matters much, both girls look fine (real and virtual).
Im with you dude, its depressing as fuck going through these threads.
I am the opposite .
I hope they do it like GOW where we had hardly any idea of the story or set pieces .
So, how does the lgbt experience play out in this world for Ellie on a themetic level?
TLOU1 used the supporting characters and situations to peer into Joel's personal motivations and philosophy. How does that play out for Ellie when, presumably, she won't be carrying it on her sleeve during some of the more tenuous moments in the game? For instance, her sexuality never comes into play in TLOU because it's largely irrelevant until the end, and even that is nuanced because she doesn't elaborate any further on her relationship with Riley other than she was the first significant person in her life to die.
Also, given the state of the world, how many lgbt people even exist in the first place? Would there be systematic persecution of homosexuals in a world where humanity is scattered into limited pockets? Wasn't there around 30 people in Tommy's community? So if homosexuals account for 4% of the human population in real life, how does that bear out in this fictional context, where most of humanity has been wiped out by the initial pandemic? Do they essentially go back into the closet? Or, do they become resigned at the prospect of no suitable mates in this world?
So, that being said, if Ellie's sexuality were to be an issue where it could endanger her, how does that play out if there aren't any widescale lynchings going on? What would happen to her if David or any of his acolytes became aware of this? Would it have put her at even more risk of being sexually abused than what she was already experiencing, or would it have possibly hastened their resolve in murdering her that evening?

Still in the first game she killed more people than Charles Manson i you understand what I mean
Baka, it is not that I like you or anything!!All
Side note: She's blushing!!!!!
Am I doing it right era?
I hope they have more wildlife in the game. That frog was a really nice touch.
I like the theory that Joel died, the "old man" they talk about in the trailer is some other father figure Ellie got, and the Joel we saw and heard in the teaser is an hallucination or something like that.
No, it wasn't.
No, they are not. UC4 is a slog to play, compare the movement and possibilities of play of Drake to Venom Snake and it's night and day. And, the full breadth of freedom and traversal mechanics in BoTW blows UC4's little grapple hook out of the water. UC4 is actually probably the worst playing Uncharted in the series, tied only with UC3 and its wonky aiming on release. Too much of UC4 feels like the game plays itself as opposed to actions conducted by the player.
I don't know what is satire anymore with al the negativity on this site during E3.
Not to shit on ppl but why are so many ppl focussed on the kiss. we all knew elli was lesbian. Is this such a surprise to ppl and if so why? It was blatantly obvious to me after lb .
Im seeing posts like its been made explicit now. It was quite explicit back then . I can get when ppl say dumbledore was not but elli has been pretty clear.
On topic, i think in general this game will be divisive. But in a good way . As in not that it'll be bad but rather it will make ppl think various things (about violence etc) . Think were heading for a bigger trainwreck than was joel's decision good or bad . I think narratively this game will explore some things which will make us very uncomfortable. (About violence, what we will do for ppl we like etc, limits we push ourselves etc)

ND just likes to tease us.
We'll see "Ellie's old man" in due time.
Those all sound like "play the game to find out" questions. It's a story heavy game, answering too much before the release can break the experience.
Are you just asking some questions?
I mean, it's fictional. Representation matters. Here we are.
I don't get it as well.
Not once did I look at the screen and became surprised.
The trailer/gameplay looked amazing.
That said, TLOU was all about Joel+Ellie. If Joel is dead or not in most of the game, I'm hard-out.
Edit: to clarify, I don't mind if he isn't the main playable character, but he should be there. Also, I get that he was mentioned, but the dance scene was most likely a flash-back.

Video game violence is getting to a point where I may need a barf bag. I am not complaining, however. That sort of violence in films helps create tension and fear for me: two emotions that I look for in a survival horror game.
The game is looking incredible. I just wish Naughty Dog would tell us what it is about.

As far as I recall that's incorrect. If I remember it correctly the recordings around the hospital that Joel picks up state that they'd tried the same thing on people very similar to Ellie without success.
Bro pls educate yourself on some reviews and official threads of the game.
I'm just curious how that plays out. I'm eager to find out and was wondering what anyone else thinks. I wonder how religion plays in this world. How the military operates. If any countries were spares this pandemic. What everyday consumer goods have become contraband. How does race relations operate in this world. Would a white supremecist society flourish in this world. What innovations to science, technology, and the arts would emerge in the 3 decades since the outbreak. Economics, ect..
I recall ND released art work depicting an afflicted England a year after TLOU was released.

I feel the exact same way, it's fucking depressing. Then again this is the same board where every other week on EtcEra somebody is making a thread talking about suicide. Why is everyone so damn down on everything? I may be a bit critical of Naughty Dog combat, but I don't play their games for stellar gameplay. TLOU2 looked great. Cyberpunk will be GOAT. Death Stranding is still blowing my mind. Shadows Die Twice is FROM Software, they always deliver. I'm suddenly interested in Spider-Man again. The only games I'm meh on is Ghosts (mainly because FROM is going to eat their lunch and that combat seems too Witcherish) and Odyseey (I'm done with AC after Origins). Still, impressive showings all around.
Trolling in full swing. TLou not widely praised for gameplay.
You people move in hives this time of year.
Could've sworn there was an interview that confirmed that they would've found the cure with Ellie.
Seriously. I'm not even reading anything on gaming side E3 related except first posts with info. That Cyberpunk thread soured me, that pessimism.
This is no dig at you but I always find that an odd statement. In most games, certainly in the first title of a series, there are usually plenty of ways to tell a different story or improve how the game plays. Look at the difference between UC1 & UC2. The story wrapped up nicely at the end of 1 but 2 blew it clean out of the water in terms of quality and narrative.
If the scores both these games hold (especially TLOU) from both critics and users don't mean "widely praised", then what exactly would you call it? Do you realize TLOU holds a more favorable userscore than BOTW by quite a significant margin? Which, for metacritic is saying quite a bit.
I expect Part 2 to be about Ellie and Joel in the end. Their father/daughter relationship will outlast everyone in this game.
yes it was. its multiplayer is still alive 5 years later because of its gameplay.
Yeah agree this will become more of a problem on PS5 as graphics and animation take another step up.
