Oh so NOW Gethsemani believes in voter fraud conspiracies?
Neil Druckman tries to mobilise TLOU 2 fans to vote for it for player choice in The Game Awards Player vote category

Is that a big "reveal" though? I mean, ok? It's 39 hours long? It tells me nothing about the actual storyline, so I don't really care. I think some devs have said stuff like this ahead of game releases themselves.Seems we can’t have anything nice in this industry. Always has to be drama attached. Leakers that spoil things generally are bottom feeders too. Take the latest example -
Cyberpunk 2077 Main Campaign is Apparently 37 Hours Long
A YouTuber's prematurely uploaded review talks about how much content the game has.gamingbolt.com
They are either so in love with hearing themselves talk, or they just have to be “first” with something. If it’s just speculation stuff like a new Silent Hill or whatever, not that big a deal. But spilling info dumps on stuff that’s still clearly under embargo makes them look like pompous asses.
39 hours for main story is a pretty good length for an RPG. Plus however much content is provided by the side content. Seems fine, I dunno why this would upset people.
This clip is getting a lot of mileage lately.
I mean, Skyrim had like, what, 20-30 hours of main story? And like 400 hours of other stuff.
If you don't also mention all the other stuff, bringing up just the main story length is useless lol.
Skyrim has a perpetual side quest system in which it would randomly keep creating basic repetitive shit for you to do, so technically it's got infinite content.
Well if it's side content then I wouldn't count that as "main story". So if that's included then yeah, 40+ hours of content, including side content seems typical. I assumed that was JUST main story stuff, which would be pretty impressive considering.
Washington Post says that they got through the "main" game in 15 hours. But I dunno how accurate that is considering I can find the link anymore. But they also said they rushed through it and didn't come close to touching the extras.
Honestly even if the game only takes 25-30 hours to 100% that's fine by me. I don't need a 100+ hour game.
All this, anything else is meaningless noise. We are done and I suggest this thread to be locked.
So is Neil Druckman by getting pissy about haters and making this about showing the haters, when his game is likely to win quite a few awards and is nominated for more than almost any other game.
Dunno how many would make it about proving some kind of show o spite proving their haters wrong rather than showing how loved their game is. Funny how that goes that Druckman made it about fighting a nebulous enemy rather than actually just supporting the game.
A lot of it is about the more zealous defenders of the game who can't take it being criticised so everyone who does they try to frame as being homophobic or hating strong women not people pointing out the poor quality of the writing or issue with elements of the world.
Neil Druckman does lol
The framing of this being "To prove the haters wrong" not "To show how support for the game you love".
"A win for TLoU2 is a win for minorities everywhere!" - Neil, probably.
Yeah but just doing every unique quest outside of those "go kill dragon here" ones should still be like 400ish hours on top of that system.
Yeah, you'd think TLoU2 and Neil Druckmann were bombarded by a ludicrous amount of hate and antisemitism, or something. And that one of the actors received death threats for playing a character fans didn't like. What reason would HE have to bring up this thing that totally didn't occur and get some small satisfaction from winning an award?
Please do not insult other users
And now the tweet this entire thread was based on has been deleted, eliminating even the tiniest reason for any of us to even pretend to give a shit about your paranoid lunacy. You happy now?
I'm an old enough fart here to remember the days of yore when there was a rule against low content threads. Can we please bring that back? Shit like this is exactly why I don't visit nearly as much as I used to.

You can delete the tweet, but Druckmann is still out there, lurking in the depths, waiting for his next victim. Surely this is a reason to remain paranoid.
What’s so unusual about the creator of a game going out to drum up support among its fan base to give it a chance at winning the vote on a people’s choice award system? It would be way weirder if he didn’t do this.
