re: The Last of Us 2 story leaked

Ellie’s gf should have been the daughter of the doctor. Just a lesbian...not a tranny...They both don’t find out until about half way through...Hot GF kills Joel and leaves Ellie for dead. Ellie survives and the latter half of the game goes scorched earth on everyone.


Naughty Dog I’ll be here all day if you don’t want a simp cuck directing your games.

Next Kratos destroys toxic masculinity Gods.

So Kratos offs himself?

Different breed of nerd imo. Watch an E3 from the early 2000s and compare the devs then to now, may as well be completely different species

You aren't kidding. When you get a look at the group shots of the dev teams at certain studios these days it's hilarious. Lotta purple/pink/blue hair, lotta "alternative lifestyle" folk, all the "men" look to be about 120 lb, glasses and soy beards everywhere.

And only one group in those pictures would be okay with having a POST OP....I mean post Apocoltypic tranny kill one of the manliest men in all of video game history.

:knight3:

I was watching a video randomly the other day and part of it was a behind the scenes look at the development of a Turok game, the footage would have been circa mid to late 90's, early 2000's).

The lead designer and all the devs were just a bunch of bros, there were beer cans on desks and a gigantic poster of Britney Spears looking slutty on a wall in the main development area. That sorta vibe was largely the norm throughout the 90's at game studios.

Like look at the guys who created Doom and Quake.

Id software in the early days. They were still huge nerds, just a different type of nerd, nerds with confidence and independence.

It's a group of dudes who were having fun and building cool shite they liked.




Or the guys who originally founded Blizzard.



Something tells me there was absolutely 0 thought or discussion regarding the social, political, or gender issues of the games these dudes were creating. They were just having fun, building cool shite.

I think a big part of what changed everything is how expensive it is to make triple A games these days. It's just about impossible for 10 dudes to rent out a small office and in a year or two create anything worth a damn.

Gigantic corporations have taken over and with that comes sterilization and homogenization. The HR overlords would never allow the type of shite that went down in the 90's Add to that mandated diversity hiring quotas, PR pandering, etc.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is, women ultimately ruin everything.

You're absolutely right. Many of these legendary franchises were started by a bunch of nerdy guys who were passionate about video games. They geeked out over games, math, programming, computer science/engineering, and made games they wanted to make.

Those guys still exist and do all the technical work for games today - network code, optimizations, memory management, audio engines, scene rendering, engine programming, physics calculations...basically the entire engineering of the actual games.

It's just that, as you mentioned, these companies now take the narrative, art design, character design, dialogue, etc, and give those roles and responsibilities to people like this -

If they dont do stupid shite then im sure we all will.
