[Kacho]

Everything about this game and surrounding this game has been heretic.

 

[DavidGzz]

Neil the God. Naughty Gods. What have you.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Does Neil even have anything to do with this? Isn't he just a writer? Which is the worst part of TLOU 2 is the writing/pacing.

He is writer and director. Same thing as Kojima, Todd Howard, Miyazaki ect

 

[TheKratos]

Cuckman only works with looney toons I see

 

[March Climber]

So? Kojima has called himself god in one of his games.

So it's Polytheism, then.

In all seriousness it's great that she feels that way and I hope she continues to stay as far away from social media (unless for promotion) as much as possible.

 

[GrayChild]

He sure is. The god of shitty writing, terrible characters and overall pretentiousness.

I still can't believe I got fooled into playing The Last of Us.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

i will pray every night for this game to flop. how about dat?

 

[Topher]

Nah, he really ain't. I do enjoy his games though.

 

[killatopak]

Nah.

Naughty Dog, collectively, maybe. Neil's specifically is a bit more iffy.

 

[LectureMaster]

Naughty Dog, collectively, maybe.

This very much.
The ahead of curve art and graphics, the fluid animations and actions, the breathtaking setpiece, are also essential that ND's games are masterpiece.

Those aspects aren't due to Druckmann.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

 

[llien]

Aside from "god" nonsense, Sony's exclusives means:

1) Huge budgets
2) Loose deadlines

A luxury that most game studios do not have.

 

[VulcanRaven]

He wasn't the game director for TLOU1, that is probably why it was not ruined.

I don't remember what the end credits say but Wikipedia says that he was one of the two directors and only writer.

 

[Fake]

The actress:

 

[tkscz]

He is a false God. Everyone knows there is only one true Lord of Videogames:

Merely one of the pantheon of gaming gods

Drukkmann... I wouldn't count him among them.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

In the pantheon, he would be the God of terraforning. Constantly knocking down the same thing and building it again.

 

[TwiztidElf]

The Mt Rushmore of videogames:

Neil Druckmann
Randy Pitchford
Bobby Kotick
I'm a bit conflicted on number 4. Tim Sweeney? Or Uncle Phil? Or someone else?

 

[LectureMaster]

Nah, he really ain't. I do enjoy his games though.

 

[killatopak]

I don't remember what the end credits say but Wikipedia says that he was one of the two directors and only writer.

He was a creative director. It's different from game director which was Bruce's job.

 

[Sooner]

Kratos is a videogame god.

 

[Madflavor]

Druckmann being Gaming Jesus is my new favorite meme.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

Druckmann has built up his own connection network to help get games looking this good

 

[cormack12]

 

[AtomicStarving]

 

[Sophist]

Many of the things Kojima get credit for were already done by Shinji Mikami in resident evil.

 

[Kurimao]

STFU! You're just adding more fuel to the flame.

The Professor

 

[Illiterate Actual]

Ya know what, I don't care for his games, but he came up as a programmer, so he gets some baseline respect from me unlike say the Jaffes of the world.

 

[Sgt. Pinback]

Much like the other gods that people are super into, he's kind of overrated.

 

[analog_future]

He wasn't involved in Lost Legacy much if I recall which is why Nadine wasn't portrayed as the indestructible Hulk

He was Head of Narrative Development on that one, so it was his writing that you're praising here.

 

[fran.fernandez]

In reality she must be sad. That will explain the dreadful Nike factory worker face .

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I think The Last of Us II is incredible and he had ideas for the Uncharted franchise I like that never came into fruition but his actually helmed Uncharted game sucks. He need at least two more amazing games to his name before I can agree.

 

[sendit]

the God of video games himself... hmm...

 

[EN250]

Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you, Neil Cuckman, the video game god*

*of hell and the hack that takes credit of every ND game ever released

 

[DrFigs]

She's right

 

[bender]

So? Kojima has called himself god in one of his games.

 

[JPSLotus97T]

Yu Suzuki for another generation was a video game god.

Look at his resume if you have forgotten how instrumental he was at one time in moving goal posts forward in gaming.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Remember, Sony is using Kojimbo for his - wtf it is lol omg Maybe by creative corruption

 

[Woggleman]

She likes his work and is a fan. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Rush2112]

Neil needs to have an AMA on GAF. He's very popular here.

 

[Spitfire098]

Hmm. What a moderate position to take. I'm sure Cuckmann is the sort of man who won't allow praise like this to go to his head.

With how much time yall have to talk about him, how would it not go to his head? Who really is the cuck here...

 

[Randall365]

Well if he is seeing her, that explains a lot. Hope he gets his end away.

 

[lmimmfn]

Employee says Employer is a God, news at 11!!!

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

There is no god, only humans trying to do their best. Neil Druckmann is indeed very good at that.

 

[Black_Stride]

With the official announcement of Intergalactic: The Heretic, Tati Gabrielle expressed her excitement on social media, mentioning Neil Druckmann as a video game god.

So its not just English speaking "Games Journalists" who suck.
They turned an instagram post into a whole article?

 

[Generic]

I noticed that everyone who worked with Neil only have praises for him and consider him to be a very chill person. All the spite, hate and attacks comes from the internet.

 

[nkarafo]

When leftists pat each other on the back, they tend to do it hard.

 

[existensmaximum]

It's true

 

[Insane Metal]

Dr.Uckmann gaming God, lmao.

I mean, he's a gaming personality alright, but let's stop there.

 

[DrumNBassDanTTV]

Obviously she would say that, i absolutely do not agree though. ND made better games when he wasn't bumped up to "Co Lead"
