The developers went super "woke" and the bulk of their team quit.
So they turned it into a giant virtue signal. The main character from the previous game is immediately killed by the tranny with a golf club. Just... Game over for the main character. Then the little girl he spent the first game protecting becomes a lesbian with multiple make-out scenes. She gets beat up by the tranny, and then you spend the rest of the game playing as the tranny to "see it from 'her' point of view".
Yeah, there was DLC from the first game. Some parts weren't so bad (best part was fighting the zombies and the bandits simultaneously... mostly by making noise, watch the zombies attack the bandits, and eating popcorn)
At the end, they put in a scene to make the girl a lesbian, or at least bisexual. I was so pissed off that a zombie apocalypse game had to genuflect to rainbow Jihad. Not surprised they ran with it even more in the sequel. So I will not be getting it.
That is interesting that they lost most of their team... was it over the woke crap? They should set up a competing studio.
I think it was a direct result of the woke shit, yeah. And yep, this is how you get competing studios. Look at the folks that made "The Outer Worlds", which is absolutely gorgeous and I VERY highly recommend if you liked the "good" Fallout series. These are the guys that made New Vegas, but then were screwed out of the contract for Fallout 4. Which is why 4 was dog shit. But "The Outer Worlds" is amazing.
I started "Outer Worlds." I was a little amused at the faux capitalism mockery, then after a while I thought: "These guys are serious!"
Then I met an NPC lesbian who was bemoaning that she was the last of her line (she learned her trade from her father, but refused to have kids) and she started hitting on one of my female followers.
I sent the game back to Gamefly after that.
Sorry... wasn't too impressed with it either.
(I do agree Fallout 4 was a disappointment. But at least it didn't deliberately piss me off by including rainbow Jihad stuff. It just seemed like "You can join any one of four factions! And not one of them seems worth joining.")
There is a trans character - ftm and it's handled with a lot more subtlety than you might expect - but the person who gets railed is just a muscular girl.
Flashbacks show her as very clearly a girl who got muscly. Even though muscular women dont look like she does, she isnt trans. Alas, It's for a 1-2 seconds of one cutscene, you dont 'see' anything and then it's done. There are plot related reasons for it for what its worth.
Minor spoilers but I found the earlier lesbian sex scene FAR more cringey (very ellen page-y, very VERY drawn out) to the point I had to skip it
Neil druckmann is a massive creepy douche and I'm of the opinion that the game succeeds in SPITE of his direction. But I see this arguement and it's just not how the game plays out. There are legit reasons to dislike tlou2 but this one just isnt factually accurate
Because the only thing that will unite humanity is knowing where people wanna stick it! Right up there with food water and electricity is knowing if they have 'the gay'
Abby is technically female. They used a female powerlifter as the model. This takes 15 years after whey and creatine effectively stopped existing though. So there's really no excuse for why a natural female would be this big.
The creator has a fucked up brain and deserves to crash his career.
Whey protein is no more effective than regular food like eggs, chicken, and fish. It is only more convenient. Also, creatine bloats you with water weight and helps you stay hydrated and possibly squeeze out another rep every once in a while. A female powerlifter can achieve results without the supplements by eating normal foods.
I agree Neil Druckmann is a piece of shit, though.
Creatine aids in the production of ATP from ADP to allow that last rep or 2. The water retention is a side effect. Dosage matters and it will affect everyone a little differently.
I keep hearing she is not transgender. I have no desire to play the game, but I think like you said, she is more of a butch female who happens to still like men. Not unheard of.
So, word is she initially was a tranny and internally there was a massive fight over it because they felt it would alienate players, so they ended up taking out any confirmation she was a tranny and left it ambiguous by having an extremely masculine and manly "woman." Also, funny enough, the last part of the game they start to kind of make her seem a little more girly, where it's like the bulk development really tried to emphasize she was a tranny, after mass exodus of Naughty Dog employees over the last couple of years, it seems like they tapered off a bit by the end of the game.

Oh, and somehow there's zombies somewhere.
Dude I heard it was bad and I wouldn't touch something this toxic, but I didn't think it would be THAT bad.

And people laughed when fans said that they shouldn't do a sequel.
Game is kinda garbage but Abby is not TS just FYI

Why the fuck do people need to get banged in a zombie game?
Because the only thing that will unite humanity is knowing where people wanna stick it! Right up there with food water and electricity is knowing if they have 'the gay'
..wait what was that about zombies?
Everything is about sex and politics, and they intertwine too often.

They can. But doing all that in an apocalypse where caloric deficits are a real big issue. That's where it hits incredulity.
In the game the girl built like a man was always safe in large communities where there was food her entire life.
In multiple scenes she always wanted to get back “to not miss training.”
Not outside the possibility but yeah she was bigger than essentially all the guys who have access to the same resources she did.
