Naughty Dog promises exciting news for Last of Us Part 2 this Saturday

Muscle is unnecessary encumbrance, and if it came to that, there’s nothing muscles could take care of that a firearm couldn’t.

When chicks have unrealistic portions in games such as

these snowflakes don't spit a word. But if the female is not sexy or a waifu they hide under the guise of "its not realistic". 🤣 Just say you don't want ugly chicks and own the fact that you are a pig. 😎

Abby’s physique isn’t practical in such context, it’s non-sensical. You wouldn’t want to bulk up in that environment, because most of the time you’d be running your ass off to survive (just as Abby did before she was rescued), outnumbered. Muscle is unnecessary encumbrance, and if it came to that, there’s nothing muscles could take care of that a firearm couldn’t. Bulking up would be nothing but a waste of time, thin, lithe and agile would be your best chance.

Mirko, I don't think you thought that one through man. 😂

Countless situations in and outside of combat where your fitness will be far more useful than a gun alone. Your moment to moment survival would be far more dependent on that, than the occasional clear shot in a scramble.

And if I'm wrong, hey, lets contact the special forces, seals, etc. and tell them to chill with all the strength training. Not needed, especially as they're less likely to be scarce on ammo and are most likely much better shots anyways. Why waste the time and energy?

Unless a person trains like an idiot, muscle mass will aid in speed and endurance up to a point. And would have to be really damn big, much bigger than Abby, before flexibility begins to be an issue.

Abby might not be an Olympic runner with her build, but she's certainly gonna do better than average joe out there. (as an aside, these fastest runners in the world aren't exactly twigs).

Maybe this would kind of matter if she just wanted to be the fastest runner in the zombie apocalypse, but I think being all around strong is probably the better choice here lol.

You do know that soldiers can lose their jobs if they become too muscular, right? I knew someone in the Air Force who had to cut down because he was becoming too big. Abby is bigger than him.

Did not know actually, though a quick Google image search shows plenty of soldiers, especially in the previously mentioned organizations, that are significantly more muscular. And considering the fact that there are body builders in the military, yeah seems like a stretch man.

Searching "too muscular for military" I'm coming up with weight limits. As in they assume the person is overweight in a bad way until measurements are taken. Would need to look into that further, but it doesn't seem like an issue with being too muscular lol.

Still, the argument that being fit in the apocalypse is a bad thing, seems a bit silly right?

Also, probably the weirdest SW argument I've been in, what am I doing with my life.

How sad and funny at the same time, ND lets you cows down again lol

MS: We bought Bethesda

Your move Sony

Sony: We're releasing a TLOU2 board game...

lol, that was just yesterday's appetizer. today's announcement is the main course!

So how was the main course? it was more like scraps from the bin outside LMFAO.

So while we're getting the megatons over here, team Sony are is getting a board game and some merchandise...

So i guess ND lied again because ain't none of that exciting lol.

Please don't respond, save yourself from even more embarrassment.

@jcrame10: She's also not female, because females don't have bodies like that. If you removed all her muscles, she'd still have the upper body and shoulders of a man. She has bigger shoulders and arms than Colleen Fotsch, the model she is supposedly modeled after.

I don't even know how she'd get that buff in an apocalypse, with food limited and steroids on very short supply. Why would you even waste that much time and protein training when every day is a test of survival? I would be scavenging, hunting, building a fort, setting up defenses, maintaining defenses, foraging, checking rations, farming... Not spend ten hours a day lifting.

Yeah man, it's honestly not some wild thing. Not sure why this constantly comes up, can only assume a lot of gamers don't hit the gym. (not directed at you, but in general).

Disclaimer, I give no shits about the game, story, or characters.

But from what I understand, the game clearly shows that Abby has access to a nice facility and plenty of resources. Not some unrealistic thing, there would obviously be the haves and have nots of the world. Especially considering it's over two decades after the outbreak.

They have a way of life now, relatively hard as it may be, it's not some day zero scramble to survive.

Not sure why limited food is brought up either. It's not some post-nuclear wasteland, wildlife hasn't been decimated.

Protein intake for muscle building is much more reasonable than gamers seem to think, and as long as you get a good ratio while maintaining a caloric surplus, your training will translate to gains in muscle mass. The only reason why I ever hit supplements while training was a matter of convenience, can easily get what you need through your diet and it's actually preferable.

And uh, yeah, I'm guessing you're just joking, but lifting 10 hrs a day would be counterproductive. 90 mins a day, 6 days a week tends to be the sweet spot, especially on a push/pull/legs split. 60 mins can be good enough. Going past 2 hrs (regularly) will usually be a waste or even a detriment. This varies from person to person, on the more extreme end some can benefit with workouts up to 4 hrs a day. But that's pushing it. And they usually wouldn't be lifting that long, more like following up your lifting with conditioning. One of my boxing buds does this, but more like 3 hrs.

Also not sure why being fit in a survival scenario seems like a weird goal. It's practical. I only train because it feels good and it's like cheat codes for pulling women. I think I'd be even more motivated if my life depended on it while I'm planning for revenge in a dangerous world.

As for the roids talk, not something I really know about, so forgive me if I'm mistaken. But I'm pretty sure if all these uneducated non-chemist bums can create and sell black market roids, probably not a stretch. Neither here nor there though.

For Abby specifically, the fictional character made of polygons, no way to say if she has the genetics for that build to be achievable lol. But that's how they designed her character, it's not unrealistic, and it's certainly not the biggest suspension of disbelief required for that universe.

if you had actually played the game you'd know that Abby lives in a well supplied and well guarded military style compound with a very nice gym.

Came in hoping to see complaints that ND sucks for not releasing/announcing MP.

Unpleasantly surprised to see dudes debating what makes a woman feminine.

This. Sigh..

So you're trying to say that MS hasn't released any Xbox games for the past 3yrs?

Do you want to have a do over and try again?

Don't really see any reason TO play it. Knowing this woman lacking in any femininity (because being womanly and attractive is toxic somehow, which is why the other character had her breasts shrunken from the model and why Chloe looked more plain after her writer's departure) beats Joel to death and that the girl he struggled so much to protect is broken by the end makes me wanna play it less. When Druckman isn't going out of his way to make women appear strong and men weak (first Nadine beating Nate up and then Abby beating Joel to death), he's trying to make this big deal about lesbians. I never had a problem with lesbians and gays to begin with, but opening one of your first trailers with a kiss is lame and makes your intentions so obvious. I can't think of any other video game trailer or non-romance movie trailer that opened with a kiss. The Wachoski's Bound trailer didn't linger on a kiss for thirty seconds just because the two main characters were lesbians/bi. Brokeback Mountain's trailer didn't either, because it would have undermined what that movie was trying to say about acceptance. Druckman is so self-righteous.

He knows 0% about health or fitness

I was being hyperbolic when I said ten hours a day, if that wasn't obvious. Abby is bigger than most female athletes, though. While I find muscular women attractive, Abby is extreme. She has the upper body of a male body builder. Her muscles go beyond practicality. One of my favorite characters, Tony Soprano, isn't attractive either, but he has that soulful face and sympathetic body language. There's nothing visually appealing about Abby.

Apparently Druckmann left us with a tease..
