After TLoU 2 is obvious why people are super concerned about anything shown by ND. And if the reveal show a stereotyped asian bald woman in space (Alien: Romulus have basically the same character lol) and a woman copy of Jena Plissken, yeah, I see why there's some concern.
Last Alien movie for reference:
Sorry, I should clarify, 10 million in 18 months, which is far more than TLOU1 sold in that time. I don't know the lifetimes sales but I would bet they're higher unless we're including the remake. The game was an unqualified commercial success, and trying to make that seem otherwise is goofy.
Are you talking to someone else? Because I never mentioned "woke" in my post, nor commented on the character design.
OMG disliking a trailer JUST because you dislike the main character in the trailer! What a crazy thing to do!!!!
ND has doubled down on TLOU2's worst instincts and is clearly out of touch with society.
I'm glad they are making art, but they should be making popular art if they want to sell this shit.
It's a shame, because their popular art is so good, but they refuse to make it because they are too fucking woke.
Suckle their jimmies all you want, but the gameplay was never the reason TLOU was good. It's a story game. THIS is a story game. The MC and how they look then, become quite important. They should have just given us a character creator instead of this.
This post is almost as stupid as to say that anti nazis/antiracists are the same than nazis/racists.
Yeah I can't think of any famous analog sci-fi series with an iconic main character with a shaved head that this is clearly evoking.
What is the narrative? Naughty Dog isn’t associated with terrible writing and humor so how does this apply to them?
I found TLOU2 and everything Druckman did with that pretty meh, it different strokes and all that.
Are we talking about 2 different things? Is it because it’s woke or because the story is bad? I’m sorry if I seem to be asking you to answer for the collective but I just can’t get my head around the negative narrative going around about Naughty Dog and I’ve really been trying to understand.
I found the story contrived, changes to Ellie mid, Abby terrible and the whole thing unpleasant. Dropped the game halfway.
What kind of cosooomer logic is this? People should praise it just because even if they don't like aspects of the "game"? Which has nothing to praise, it's just some CGI bs with all the cliches from better times but made today for modern audiences
So it’s not a woke thing? You just simply didn’t like the game.
You don’t think TLOU2 story was woke?

Watching the video also counts as engagement and helps to push it forward in the algorithm. Clicking dislike helps keep it out of the feeds of people with similar engagement patterns as you and helps keep videos similar to it out of your feed.
I played through game twice and it never even entered my mind. It wasn’t until I started coming to these boards I would’ve even associated that term with this game. I’m still waiting for an explanation on why it’s woke. Because there’s a lesbian relationship in the story?? Because Abby’s buff??
Male characters are weak or killed off. Female characters are strong and powerful girl bosses. LGBT all over the place.
That's a bingo
Sam isn’t a strong character? Outside of Ellie’s relationship what other LGBT did I not catch?
The story? Obviously no, the main story is a revenge's tragedy, the kind of story that has been a staple of fiction for centuries.
imagine being too stupid to have proper pattern recognition
I really am honest when I say I didn't even notice this. If they did so, they did it very subtle.
You can use the same logic on re people who call everything racist and transphobic.
Man, you hear the word „bigot“ like 10 minutes into TLOU 2. And no, I‘m not joking.
I thought she looked asian tbh.
