@@lincolnberbert6820 yep. Let's wait and see, especially considering how ND is always very careful with what to show in the promo material and what they want us to think initially

[@C0mmander]

I don’t think you can explain the disastrous like to dislike ratio on their channel, but also on the official PlayStation channel or on outlets like IGN etc., with a „downvote campaign“. A lot of people just don’t like it. And I doubt their opinions will change, no matter what Naughty Dog shows next. If it’s not obvious by now, even the guy hosting „The Game Awards“ couldn’t help but notice that many of the nominated games are from Japan. There is a reason for that. Quite a few people have a wrong idea about Naughty Dog‘s success. While TLOU 1 was a huge hit, TLOU 2 underperformed their internal targets by more than 15 million copies. Having good graphics, excellent motion capture and animations isn’t good enough anymore. The core audience doesn’t want this sort of content. If Sony was disappointed with TLOU 2 sales, you can imagine how disappointed they will be with this one. Their management probably has PTSD flashbacks from Concord already. Videos of animated statistical graphs reveal clear trends: nations and economies rise and fall, football clubs dominate and vanish, and the same is true for gaming studios. Naughty Dog is over their peak. The same goes for BioWare, DICE, Bungie, various Ubisoft studios and many others. Many of the people and the culture that made the previous games great aren’t even there anymore.

[@asdadsgsaadasf6043]

There can never just be an honest dislike of a product on the part of consumers. It always has to be strategically characterised as some kind of aberration to lessen the impact of valid opinions and criticism. It's a review bomb, a boycott, a campaign, etc. Bankrolling millions of dollars worth of ads and positive press though, that's completely natural. It's all smoke and mirrors. It's also no surprise Japan is being pressured so hard by western companies now that people are fleeing to their products for entertainment. They can't compete with them because they won't stop handicapping themselves.

[@callumager537]

If I was to throw out any criticism, it would be that ND seems to be going down the familiar route of casting Hollywood actors rather than fish from the large pond of amazing talent. It’s becoming a growing trend within the industry. The worst culprit for this is Kojima, who famously recast David Hayter in MGSV with Kiefer Sutherland despite it not making sense contextually. Then casting Norman Reedus in the now defunct Silent Hills and of course Death Stranding. Hell, I can remember Vin Diesel being cast in Ark a few years back. Was that needed? It’s not a deal breaker, I’m sure the talent regardless of status will do fine. But it’s just interesting to see a game do this during a time when so many in the industry are struggling to find work.

@@alexanderhunt88 It was actually Guillermo Del Toro that got Norman the job because Guillermo is actually a HUGE fan of Kojima, and he recommended Kojima to cast Norman because Norman worked with Guilermo on Blade 2. He told Norman, "A man named Kojima will give you a call. No matter what he tells you, say 'yes'". Norman then received a call from Kojima, and Norman immediately said, "Yes!", and that is how he got cast for Silent Hills. Originally, there was someone else who was going to be in that role -- I think they were looking at Keanu Reeves? But Guillermo talked Kojima into hiring Norman because Keanu was busy with something else at the time.

[@meeds7473]

I think one of the reason we're seeing this kind of style (which I would say, for this, is closer to Alien/Bladerunner than Guardians of the Galaxy) is because the people heading these studios now were growing up in the '80s and '90s. I think they've said they were inspired by Akira and Cowboy Bebop and I think it's apparent there are Alien and Bladerunner inspirations too. So, these properties probably had a big impact on the heads of these studios's formulative years. Now they're actually able to act on it. Worth remembering, Neil Druckmann has, so far, only worked on franchises that weren't his or his alone. FWIW, I actually dig the Porsche branding. I think it goes kinda hard. It's not as egregious as Adidas since I doubt there are many gamers that are going to be impacted by Porsche branding -- they're not the target market for sports cars. It doesn't seem overly different to when Kojima puts Monster Energy or JF Rey in Death Stranding. I also think a lot of people are majorly jumping to conclusions about the character. Part of me thinks it's generally chud behaviour, but part of me also thinks that the reveal wouldn't have generated such a response if Concord didn't exist -- or was better received somehow. Like, I don't think people jump to as many conclusions if this game wasn't preceded by Concord.

There's no way I'm buying a game from naughty dog after last of us 2 I'm a writer and editor and I thought it was horrible writing. The writing only focused on surface level shock value and had no immersion with character development or world building. For example, I believe good writing will get a person to a place where they feel like crying, and the fact that I didn't get near that place when Joel died surprised me. I was so invested in that character from the first game. Even a mediocre writer could have made that a much more emotional experience. Then I was forced to play as an unlikable antagonist, which was not an enjoyable experience at all. I just kept letting the zombies kill me cause I didnt care if she lived or died, and after a few hours I realized it wasn't going to return to Ellie and I was going to be stuck playing her for a while, so I just quit playing. And I always finish a game when I start it, so that was a first. Further showing me how much I really don't like this game. And, after watching the ending on Utube, I'm so glad I quite when I did. It was such a waste of money, and I'm not exaggerating when I say the worse game I've ever played. There's no way I will buy a game from them again.
