Tbf, Star Wars is Star Wars. I didnt like the new trilogy but I went to the Cinema for every Movie they put out, i watched every Series more than once and i will continue doing so cause it’s Star Wars. Shitty Star Wars Media is still Star Wars Media 🤷‍♂️

That doesnt work for ND tho, their games are just all good.

u/Librarian_Contrarian 22h ago

I have more than my share of criticisms of how Disney has handled Star Wars, and Rise of Skywalker is, to me, the worst Star Wars movie, but I can't consider TLJ a failure in any sense except maybe in the failure of what came after to follow up on it.

28

u/Chazo138 21h ago

People knock on TLJ but at least it did something different than repeating ESB like TFA did for ANH.

29

u/Librarian_Contrarian 21h ago

I really felt like it was SW stepping put to say "these stories don't HAVE to be about just Skywalkers and Palpatines, The Jedi and The Sith, forever and ever. We can do whatever we want."

And then the series about-faced and said, "actually, Star Wars is ONLY about Skywalkers and Palpatines, false alarm."

8

u/CreamofTazz 18h ago

People also still argue heavily over the merits (and demerits) of TLJ, whereas most people seem to agree that TFA was mid to okay if only just a ANH rehash and TRoS seems to be mostly hated.

u/FrogInAShoe 17h ago

Different doesn't mean good. Sequels really felt directionless

u/Tiernoch 17h ago

I mean, am I crazy for feeling like TLJ was just ESB but in reverse?

u/BrockStar92 13h ago

So I guess I dreamed the Hoth ripoff but at the end rather than the beginning? I suppose it was salt not snow, big difference… Oh and the main Jedi character being trained in the force by the old curmudgeonly Jedi in a remote location with an area of the dark side they venture into and see a depiction of themselves there, that didn’t happen either?

There were a lot of parallels between ESB and TLJ.

7

u/VendromLethys 18h ago

TLJ was peak cinema

2

u/SufferingClash 45m ago

TLJ is the best of the sequel trilogy, which sadly isn't a hard bar to clear considering the final film. It gave us a lot to chew on, and had IMO the best moments from the sequel trilogy. Too bad JJ Abrams basically spent an entire movie retconning TLJ and effectively making the entire sequel trilogy a flop.

u/No_Mud_5999 21h ago

Yes, my friends' wife is very straightforward on her SW appreciation "I like wookies and cute droids and escapist sci-fi fantasy, I'm not very critical". I found this to be a refreshingly honest viewpoint for what is essentially light entertainment.

Yeah, I mean Star Wars is carried heavily by the nostalgia factor, that and the insane budget Disney puts into their stuff, even if the writing is meh, the visuals are good.

Yes, it making a billion would definitely count as a success. But you also have to consider the fact that Episode 7 made 2 billion...and by that metric some (ie: the suits) might very well have deemed that failure due to its inability eclipse the previous film financially.

I never forgot how that game also got nominated for "People's Choice" at the Game Awards.

u/magictuch 22h ago

The game won the most GOTY awards that year both by critics and players vote.

It is to this date one of the most awarded games of all time. Sold millions on the platform and now will sell some more after its PC release.

The numbers were bonkers especially considering how the game is kinda niche with it being a zombie game with 18+ rating.

1

u/HowDyaDu 20h ago

Ok, but what if it was a non-zombie game with a 13+ rating? /hj

42

u/JacktheDM 22h ago

No, not only "sold milions." Won hundreds of Game of the Year awards. Broke major sales records across the board. Was absolutely praised like crazy by critics, fans, and is going to get adapted into an HBO show that will doubtlessly itself be nominated or win tons of major awards.

TLoU2 is, for me, almost the chief indicator that these people live in a parallel universe.

Pure consumerism is their only value, and yet they just have no idea that this particular game is one of the most successful and beloved by 99% of anyone who's encountered in over half a decade now.

And I hate to be that guy, but Last of Us 2 was a way better game than 1 was.

-4

u/manic_misfit 10h ago

Does the fact that it sold 10 million make it a success? Absolutely.
But it still barely sold half of what the first game did. And for an industry that depends on infinite growth, I could see how it might be perceived as a failure in that regard.

u/TheWorldsKing 6h ago

The Last of Us sold 20 million across two systems and a seven year span (2013-2020). Part II has sold 50% of that in half the time

u/MassiveEdu 1d ago

its not a masterpiece, like it definitely isnt but it has wonderful gameplay, i seriously disliked the story (it felt nonsensical, everything felt like it was exclusively done to just keep drawing dogshit paralels between the protagonists, the events of the story dont feel like shit thatd go down remotely naturally, ellie and abby were unlikeable, tommy and joel behaved like utter morons, dina was an annoying character, the fact that ellie only starts regretting anything. the way the characters just. travel through half the country and iirc theres nothing beyond that aside from ellie mentioning that LV was completely overrun by the infected, the way that both factions are just too exaggerated, the way the story stems from how neil wanted some palestinians killed after 2 idf soldiers were killed in the early 2000s (interview btw), which also relates to the factions with the seraphites being a zionist palestinian stereotype, etc etc

i would never say its a bad game because in the sense of playing it , it is great, but the level designs are also beyond hillcrest and captiol hill, quite nonsensical, for example the level where abby is leaving the aquarium, the flooded area right by the alaskan way viaduct, makes no sense, the entire geography of the area is weird with some ground having somehow risen up, this is only a minor example of the bizarre shit in that game's level/environmental design
theres areas like the previously mentioned hillcrest which are TRULY perfect level design beyond some relatively minor issues w the house designs (theres one or two that dont even have a bathroom or bedroom iirc), but from a gameplay standpoint it is wonderful, and i cannot stress this enough, capitol hill and hillcrest are the two single most enjoyable areas in the entire game, as well as santa barbara, which as much as i dislike the game's ending, the design for the town itself all around is quite good, the environmental design is superb, with the amount of foliage actually making sense in contrast to the areas of seattle that were actually part of the QZ (not counting hillcrest since it was external to the zone IIRC) with the exception of capitol hill, which from what i remember the only part with an extremely overblown amount of trees was the area around the TV station, with the combat in the school being also very well designed
It is not a masterpiece in my eyes, although it does look good, and plays good, the characters, map design and story drag it down

21

u/Embarrassed_Bit_7424 1d ago

It's a masterpiece. It's sort of a consensus thing. A lot of people agree that it's a masterpiece so that's what it is. Even my opinion personally is that it's a masterpiece, to the point that if it had been written by Tony Morrison, it would be considered among the book awards.

I don't like the Great Gatsby. I've read it twice. I hate it. It's a Masterpiece of literature.

And before anything , i do not have an issue with joel getting killed nor would i say he was a good person, only that his actions were reasonable, yes, i find saving ellie to have been a reasonable action because the fireflies had only had her for a day and were willing to throw away the only known immune person in the world to magically make a vaccine, i never found myself able to sympathise with abby on that regard because her dad was to kill a child for something not even actual institutions with proper equipment and funding could do (refer to the cinematic in part 1 after hometown ends and sarah dies)

u/ZubatCountry 22h ago

TLOU1 has an all-timer ending, that is unfortunately so effective that some people walk away from it missing the point.

TLOU2 doesn't hold Joel in the same reverence that some of those fans did, because despite what they'll tell you he was not objectively in the right and the second game almost literally bludgeons you over the head with this.

There are very legitimate pacing and story issues with TLOU2, but you'd really have to reach to call it bad and the idea that it's this trash fire that failed is...not in line with reality to put it mildly.

For the 12th time, Joel wasn't & still isn't worth all this smoke!

I feel like something people are missing is that a lot of these "Gamers" aren't American.

It's not an excuse for bigotry or shitty behavior.

But like, if you come from or are in a male dominated country/culture, seeing realistic women might actually be a detriment.

If you were raised with zero respect for women in a culture/country that has zero respect for women..... what do you expect?

Like the balding chud sub. I think like 65% of his viewers are non American. A lot from East Asia.

It's about time you Muricans realize that you are the only country who literally divided in two ultra-polarized factions fighting each other over that game. The rest of the world generally loved the game or at most were okay with it... the few who disliked it didn't really make a consistent group and certainly did not do the same pathetic shitshow haters did in the US.

And TLoU2 is just one example, but you did the same for several other pieces of fiction. It's kinda hilarious to see the patterns from the outside.

Genuinely these fuckers must be refugees from another dimension because TLOU2 did not fail

u/shoegaze_shinto 6h ago

I loved tlou, but hated the sequel. Mainly just because I hated playing as Abby. I would've preferred Joel not dying and him and Ellie reconciling.

u/Anticapitalist_Kae 21h ago

It's wild because Tati Gabrielle is one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen

u/Flirefy 10h ago

RIGHT? This whole thing feels so weird to me considering Tati Gabrielle is like crazy attractive, as far as beauty can be objective.

I hated TLOU2 but ND didn’t “lose” me as a fan. I just thought it was poorly written, i didn’t dislike it because the playable characters were female.

I still adore Uncharted, TLOU1, the Jak series, and I’m excited for Intergalsctic. Plus i love Tati Gabrielle so I’m down for this new character

u/16bitrunner 5h ago

Is it even the same company when 70% of the talent responsible for those hits have left? Uncharted and TLOU1 would have been nothing without Amy and Bruce.

u/CatoCanadian 1d ago

Besides how pathetic these people are, does anyone know what this game is actually about? Because like, bounty hunting is the only notable thing I got from this trailer besides the name brands.

u/Miketankywallace2802 1d ago

Wish I could have a failure of a game that sells millions and is critically acclaimed

I can't tell what they're trying to say. I might be a little dyslexic could someone explain

u/SteelAlchemistScylla Woke Enthusiast 23h ago

Failure? You mean the game that is getting a remastered version like next year? Lmao these people really do just make up fake realities to live in. Talk about needing a safe space

u/Fit_Rice_3485 22h ago

Tlou 2 made over 200 million in PSN digital sales alone according to leaked docs from insomniac that was already outdated (probably figures from 2022)

u/alchemist23 22h ago

Oh they absolutely mad

u/AuroreSomersby 21h ago

Only backlash I heard about was that some folks were worried if game wouldn’t be little generic - but it’s Naughty dog, so being optimistic is not incorrect. On the other hand - I think “failure” was in quotes, so this may be ironic? Or they’re getting self-conscious? But this person has Japanese in their profile and wrote Joel in German (?)(so more like Yoh-el?) - is this some Axis-themed grifter-gamer ploy?

1

u/Shadowchaos1010 21h ago

The "backlash" is based on absolutely nothing substantive because it was the announcement trailer of a new IP. Nothing established being changed for you to whine about like Witcher, and no gameplay to call clunky or anything because there was none.

You're bitching about the fact that the main character isn't a man or sexy to you. What other response to that do you expect other than "Oh no! Anyway..."

At this point I don't give a flying fuck because this game is a ps5 exclusive.

u/IMCHAPIN 1d ago

Who could have thought that a woman killing a man in a video game would emasculate so many men so thoroughly. They just want their daddy Joel to win.

u/Kenjionigod 20h ago

People completely dismissing a game from a studio with a fairly good track record just because the main character is bald, is just about the dumbest thing I've seen in this discourse.

1

u/InternalWarth0g 19h ago

im more upset they had to rub jak and daxter in our face during the reveal. i doubt anyone who worked on those games are still at naughty dog.

game looks cool though. dont care if the main protag is male or female, as long as they are written well.

Only bad thing about TLOU2 is that ultra mega zionist weirdo Neil Druckman made it

u/vicemori Clear background 21h ago

The guy who's literally an Israeli is a zionist? Damn, who saw that coming

Also, he donated 5k to both Palestine and Israel after Oct 7th

I’ll crack it, can’t really afford to buy new releases at the moment, but I definitely wanna play it. And I hope it’s fun game, not like Veilguard

u/Austintheboi 1d ago

No matter how you feel about Intergalactic, you can’t deny actors responding to backlash against them/ the project on Social Media isn’t good. We saw how that ended with the Cowboy Bebop remake.

It was a few different things that got it canceled. The twitter stuff definitely didn’t help

Yeah, how dare a human being respond to all the ridiculous hate and negativity being sent their way with what was honestly a very light and soft rebuttal compared to what they could have said. The nerve of her! Have her cancelled, hung, drawn and quartered immediately!

u/Austintheboi 12h ago

I didn’t say it wasn’t right, wasn’t allowed or was the wrong thing to do. I just meant it’s not good press for the projects they work on and rarely ends well
