This was what I assumed was the crux of the problem, lot of people would be upset because the story would be ruined for them. Not realistic to ask people to stay off social media or not talk to friends for 2 months while waiting for physical distribution. And how many of those people would just not buy it if the story was ruined for them? It may be insignificant, it may not be
I'm glad prerecordedlive has already admitted guilt in being a part of this problem, but Wu needs to come and apologize too. Haven't bought a disc for a game in 4 years and proud of it. (Switch is different, because Nintendo is stupid)
That would be nice if it's only a short delay. I'll still hate the physical copy users but a little less.
Be careful out there on the interwebs kids, apparently there was a massive leak of cut scene videos and story details for the game. Link is to an article about it, obv not to the spoilers themselves. http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020...oiler_videos_as_major_plot_points_leak_online Sucks, only positive i can think of is if the game is done that it forces Sony's hand to release it digitally right away, but I kinda doubt that happens.
Came here to post this It is leaking everywhere please be careful guys I would fucking hate if this got ruined for a lot of people
Motion to ban anyone awful enough to post any spoilers here prior to, let’s say 2 weeks post-release. It should go without saying, but it doesn’t because I can’t count the number of times someone wanted the scoop and didn’t even understand the spoiler function.
I'm glad we have a date, but in light of the spoiler leak, I really wish they would put it on digital asap and let the physical folks wait for June. It won't happen but damn i wish it would, I really don't want to have to do this for 7 weeks.
This is starting to sound like @SugarShaun’s flippant disregard for the evil of FUT, but in disc form.
Interesting stuff about how the game leak happened (Schreier is a dick but I trust him on this kind of stuff) - Update: According to trusted journalist Jason Schreier, leaked footage of The Last of Us: Part II was apparently obtained by hackers who used a security vulnerability in a patch for an old Naughty Dog game to access the Californian developer's servers. It's apparently older videos of a development build. Schreier continues: "Rumours of this being an act of protest by a contractor whose pay was robbed are not true. Naughty Dog actually extended pay and healthcare benefits for contractors due to COVID-19." http://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020...ed_by_hackers_not_affiliated_with_naughty_dog
Be interesting to see if kotaku acknowledges this since it doesn’t fit their narrative of “all non Japanese AAA companies are evil”
Doubtful, Schreier doesn't work there anymore, he quit and went to Bloomberg about a month ago. They probably wouldn't anyway though. EDIT - Apparently he hasn't started at Bloomberg, his Twitter bio says "Reporter at Bloomberg(soon)"
Not good. A company using copyright striking for a purpose other than what it’s meant, is shitty. I think Naughty Dog is gonna lose out on some money for the delay of their game, the leak of its story, and perhaps it’s story as well.
Well I muted a ton of words on twitter and discounted the fact that someone would still get the spoiler onto my feed by not using any names or the title of the god damn game. Now I’m just bewildered that so many chuds are going to pass this up because they made Ellie gay.
There was no joke. A bunch of people never played the additional content from TLOU and found out from the E3 trailer that she’s gay. I’m just shocked they’ll simultaneously hold TLOU in such high regard while saying TLOU Part II is just an SJW agenda. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I for one am eternally pissed that they put gays in my video games and I blame the real world for normalizing such behavior
I’ve been watching neck beards on Twitter slowly break down the lack of historical significance of shield maidens while trying to give Ubisoft shit for a woman lead in Valhalla and I gotta say they had me at no wimmens
I died for your sins, TLOU thread. Someone I follow on twitter liked a response to a Naughty Dog post and the user had changed their name to a spoiler. People are the scourge of the earth. Still excited to play though.
Sorry dude, that fucking sucks. It was this exact reason that I took my Twitter widget off my home screen, i'm forgetting it exists until the game comes out. Hoping I'm safe on Insta cause I have to use that for work.
I really want to talk to people that spoil stuff and find out what the psychology is behind it. Why do it? Is it because they had it ruined for them? Do they just like making people upset?
Yeah, I figure you're probably right. Same kind of mindset with people who bully kids because it was done to them, or hazing in college. Just weak-minded people who hate themselves and everyone else.
