@Andy Willow; People have been been victims of copyright strikes simply for talking about TLOU2 before release. These people avoided spoilers and didn't even post screenshots of anything N.D. officially released.
Hell, N.D. screwed up and copyright claimed their own twitter account!
Since the people screaming "I was copyright stricken!" are all part of the same Weirdo-Beardo network of YouTubers who hate everything, I'm gonna just press X, because those knobs never tell the whole story.
This logic applies to New Horizons as well. The older games had godlike, unbreakable axes and then New Horizons walked in and said "let's have everything break after 30 uses". It's more realistic i guess, but i kinda miss not having to run back to my house to re-craft some broken tool.
You can debate about whether or not forcing fans to play a character who killed/is trying to kill the main characters from the last game makes a decent story, can ANY of you defend Naughty Dog for going after gamers with copyright strikes even when they did not show images, clips, or plot details?
this legit makes me think of breath of the wild, wtf do these perfectly good swords keep shattering, for TLOU2 I can legit seeing melee weapons found in the wild to be garbage and weak, but the ones you get off enemies should be almost unbreakable, everyone has a favorite anyway.
As a farmer I have like three axes, one of which has a sturdy fiberglass handle. In all the years I have been using them, I have broken exactly one handle. (And I repurposed it by mounting a cheap Chinese machete blade on it, which made it my most useful tool on the farm.)
Even if the handle were rotten it is the easiest part to replace. Just take the head and make a brand new handle so you can have a reliable tool/weapon.
Yeah some people get quite hung up on trying to keep things realistic. Another point is in how in these post apocalyptic scenarios, like zombie plagues for years, gas would also have expired so no one should be able to just pick a random car and drive it.
Andy I'd say that goes both ways. Just because the gaming public wants something doesn't mean they don't dislike a bad product. Plenty of people online wanted the last of us 2, but the game definately turned out worse than expected
Yeah, but when you've got a dozen or so interchangeable neckbeards on YouTube screaming about how terrible something is and that people shouldn't buy it, its funny to see those guys getting ignored en masse.
I think the outrage vs sales saga is further proof that the internet exists in a bubble. Just because a certain group of people despise something online, that doesn't mean they have their finger on the pulse of what the gaming public wants.
