Naughty Dog Blocks The Last of Us 2 Trolls with New Twitter Feature

I wish this site was Italian, just to reply with Caparezza's "Kevin Spacey" song. For those curious, it's a song entirely made of movie spoilers.
Hell, whatever, it's in Italian, so only the few users from the Boot will understand it. Here it is.

@get2sammyb
Not to mention its development!

Bring on the trolls! Can’t wait for this game.

@sawaoyamanaka
Who, me? I've incased all the trolling I could get away with in the first two comments. I'm going to be polite in this thread from now on.

There are plenty of a-holes in the world and quite a few of which are interested in gaming.

It's a real shame that the leaks happened and I really hope I'm able to avoid them before I'm able to play the game. I doubt that I will though as people will just get 'creative' and start posting spoilers in the comments section of completely unrelated topics!

I experienced this with both Infinity War and Endgame.

☹️

Now wait until people realize that replying to these tweets or [dis]liking these YT videos is something their lives are exactly the same without.

Metacritic all over again - use a platform to try and torpedo a work's reputation, blow a hole in the platform's value instead.

it's good they do this.

thing is if another company did this,for example CD project red,the people would praise them saying they are looking out for the community.

but since this game features some open minded politics the biggots just want to shut it down.

I wish they could do something about the literal hundreds of trolls spamming the 'FORE' or 'MA'AM' comments rather than discussing anything practical.

@AlexSora89
If you re so outraged by the development or the game, all you have to do is not buying it.
I sure you re the kind of guy dressed head to toe with primark, H&M.. Stuff but when you re on Twitter you act all righteous when there's a conversation about child labour.
You re not Sjw, you re a poser. 🤐🤐
Deal with it.

Unfortunately we live in internet world where we can’t have anything to be surprised by now, or not be coloured by extreme opinions by every twit with a keyboard. Perhaps it’s a curse for the single player narrative existing in a world that now wants everyone to play online and converse with everyone else that’s played it? And TLOU is the extreme case of this in narrative lead gaming, because it relies so deeply on the story- perhaps more than any other game.

Good, I can't believe the hatred around the game, ND spend nearly 5 years to make this games and yet people just ruining it for the fans. If you don't like it don't buy it, don't spoil others people fun playing this game for the first time 😠

To be fair, a lot of gaming related tweets should do the same thing. Twitter comments are full of crap and console warrior fanatics.

@jdv95 I could tell you now they would not have that reaction if CDPR did it, or any company.

@Quintumply @get2sammyb A soapbox or discussion on here analysing all thats gone on after the game has released would be great to read. So far i've had one bit (a massive thing) spoiled on this very site - but i dont understand why its led to such bile and hatred on the internet. Which leads me to believe something else happens in the story that is getting people worked up.

Whatever it is, i just dont get it. If people don't like the direction of the game, then dont buy it, dont play it. But dont spoil the game for everyone else or abuse the employees that worked long and hard on this game for years. And dont stand yourselves on some self appointed pedestal or high horse. You are just pathetic.

I bet most of the people doing this wernt even planning on playing the game.

The internet and the world is full of morons

I'd avoided all the spoilers but with all the discussion about it I gave in last night to find out what all the fuss was about and... meh, theres a couple of things I dont particularly like but nothing that'll stop me playing the game and it's still top of my most wanted list. I can understand why some people are annoyed but it's a game and as long as I enjoy it I dont really care 😁

Another reason I do not use Twitter and Facebook. Stopped using them years ago, and I do not miss or regret it for one second.

so you can disable comments on twitter posts now

good maybe others will start to use it and we can finally read a post that isn't filled with bile and hatred

as for people retweeting it with spoilers well the only peopel who will see that are people who follow them so that's no issue, all the ***** can stay together wallowing in their self pity and hatred and we can avoid all their crap

@Col_McCafferty. You did wow thats crazy.dont go to gamespot or ign trailer .im not on Twitter.ao its all good.word up son

@Chryssy75
I'm thoroughly amused by how, despite specifically stating that most of my trolling was contained within my first two comments, I still managed to ruffle some feathers.
Anyway, your point about not buying the game is immediately made moot by the fact I don't own a PS4 for the time being, so I'm afraid the joke is on you.

@nhSnork The stupid thing is that YouTube promotes videos based on "engagement" and likes, dislikes, and comments all count as engagement. If you're trying to shut down a video, disliking and writing an angry comment is as effective as liking it and sharing a positive comment. The way you'd "damage" the company is by not watching, commenting or clicking either dislike or like, but people gotta share their sh*tty opinion anyway.

@TrueAssassin86x
I wouldn't want to be a PS4 fan, though.
Not "fan" as in "gamer", but "fan" as in "actual ventilating component". Summer is gonna be rough on those.

@Matroska
All publicity is good publicity, as Rockstar Games taught us time and time again. Visibility is important no matter what.

Wow, those people are COWARDLY. No wonder they are CRUEL human being ever walk on Earth. THEY ARE GROSS AND DISGUSTING HUMAN BEING> GROSS! GOOD JOB, NAUGHTY DOG! BLOCK THEM! GOOD JOB! THEY DONT DESERVE IT!

@Matroska truly, the internet isn't for porn. It's for a brutal sport called soapboxing.

It's a weird feature that Twitter implemented. I mean, it kinda defeats the purpose of social media, but whatever.

On the bright side, those are some nice images ND shared.

@Mitsui many people are easily influenced and love hate bandwagons

@AlexSora89 couldn't be further from the truth.

I havent seen any spoilers but I have heard what happens, it hasn't stopped me wanting to buy the game, I knew what happened in The Sixth Sense but I still watched it and enjoyed it.

some gamers have let us all down with the behavior around this game so immature.

Normally hate spoilers (obviously) but in this case I'm glad I accidentally saw the leaks as I don't agree at all with the direction the game appears to have taken. So I won't be pre ordering the game based on what I've seen so far. If however the leaks didn't accurately portray the game then maybe I will purchase it at a later date

@playstation1995 It sucked but I'm not the most rabid MCU fan in the world.
Worse was when someone, through another gaming site, sent me a private email (which I wasn't aware one could do!) with a list of RDR2 spoilers after only having had the game for a few days.

That dude can go rot in hell.

😉

Nothing anyone posts will spoil it for me, I've pre ordered the limited edition console and also pre ordered a digital copy of the game. All the people trying to ruin it because they're unhappy with where the story goes are unbelievably pathetic, get over yourselves.

I'm more disgusted by Naughty Dog's DMCA abuse and attempts at extortion.

But the media won't talk about that. Gotta stay on their golden boy's good side.

Those Xbox Haters are really trying hard to destroy this game because they know it's going to be a MASSIVE game for SONY and just make the PlayStation brand even more popular so more people will want a PS5 to etc etc. Poor souls

@Orpheus79V @jdv95 They Won't The Same People Mad At Naughty Dog About Crunch Have Said Nothing About CDPR Doing The Same Thing With Both The Witcher 3 And Cyberpunk.

@Areus I've seen many people complain about their crunch though.

I wouldn’t call people posting spoilers and moaning about Naughty Dog disabling comments fans. If a fan seen a spoiler I’m sure they would understand the devastation of someone else seeing it and would do what they could to not mention it.
The only people spoiling it are trolls and people with low self esteem

@Grimwood And I'm still buying it.

haha well, they should've invested more in data security. Don't blame hackers for hacking.

@East76landS hold on wont the console come with the game?, why did you pre-order the digital edition as well if i may ask?

@FullbringIchigo I pre-ordered the digital copy first before the limited edition console was announced, I'm not rich by any means but I work so thought why not. I expect the limited edition console to more or less hold its value so I could always sell it on once the PS5 is here or just hold on to it for keepsake.

@East76landS ahh ok that makes sense

I can't appreciate what Druckman says . Like "I don't want racists and bigots to play my game" . Things along the lines of "if you don't like it, don't buy it." Even if right, isn't respectable for a dev/salesman to say... . Almost the same thing happened with BFV.

Criticism = trolls

Okay...

@Carl-G you realize majority of these people are actually fans that are upset about where the last of us 2 is heading right? Not everything is about "Xbox" trolls

The real problem is censorship. Don't use the big social networking sites.

Trolls? Really? 🤣🤣🤣

@GADG3Tx87 OK MA'AM we'll do as you ask.

Pathetic little people. Anyone that spends their time trying to spoil things for others are losers. Total losers who could do with a swift kicking.

@Flender yeah... ok.... have fun with your narrow world view

@Arnna it is you that clearly has a narrow world view as you have instantly judged me without even knowing what it is I don't like about the game. You should reevaluate your own narrow minded bigoted opinions before casting baseless aspersions on others.

Good. Be even better if these people could be banned from playing online via their PSN accounts. No that isn't a harsh punishment when you INTENTIONALLY take to a fan forum of any kind and set out to ruin something they have been waiting for just because your entitled, immature ass doesn't like something. Worse yet, what you saw (again, your entitled ass couldn't just do the right thing and avoid the leaks) is only a small fraction of what is in the game and you judged the entire thing based of information taken out of context. People like you don't deserve certain things after that sort of behavior. Grow up a bit, you need to learn a few more things before you can come back.
