The video game industry has a hate boner for Amy Hennig which is weird considering she is probably one of the most prolific women working in games which should be like crack for them but instead whenever her name shows up it's to shit on her legacy. This signals to that there's probably some deep seated conspiracy to ruin her reputation because she ablated they who shall not be named.

>>737339410
fags keep trying to protect Neil and keep trying to shut down decades long rumors of him pushing her out when she was known as being a high profile woman game developer

I should also point out that Hennig has always claimed that she doesnt think the industry has a sexism problem and also the Neil Druckmann is a jew.

>>737339309
She wrote Forspoken after this, so yeah, seems like she couldnt write anymore. The Uncharted franchise was always dogshit btw

>>737339710
>She wrote Forspoken after this
not true she apparently wrote the background details and lore of Forspoken and like 5 other writers wrote the actual dialogue.

>this lady who's only written peak suddenly couldn't write anymore
considering she hasn't made shit since then, yeah i believe it

>>737339802
So she's written nothing since Uncharted then. Sounds like she literally stopped being able to write

>>737339410
It's simple, Amy was the leading force at Naughty Dog while a turbo jew was climbing the ranks.
Eventually he only had one place to go up but Amy was there so he contacted the jews at Sony to have her kicked out.
And then they made up countless lies as they backstabbed her.

>>737339309
Does anybody actually think the Uncharted games had good writing? Even as a kid I knew something was off about how generic and mindless they were despite them having the production value of a big blockbuster

>>737339309
Why does the OP always show up below the reply on Xwitter? That's really silly.

>>737339838
More like she retired because she's 60 years old and doesn't need to do anything anymore, nor cares to after the industry FUCKED her

With jews, you lose

>>737339807
It's not just her, the entire vidya industry is in free fall. GTA6 will end gaming. You need to learn how to hunt and forage if you want to survive the next few years. Since the price finally went down on some kind of raw fat I took my chance to buy a decent amount. I ordered 12 lbs raw lamb suet, 1 lb goat liver, 1.5 lbs lamb hearts, 1 lamb brain (4oz), and 1 lb of lamb leg steaks. I never cared to read any books except for a few relating to health, since I thought those ones would be useful to me. I'm considering growing berries in my backyard since I can't get untainted berries at any store. I don't know much at all about growing plants, but my mother does. I'd like to eat some moldy too. I tried that once with the least tainted berries I could get at Walmart. They were still sprayed with some kind of pesticide. They were also previously frozen, which is generally less of an issue for fruit than for meat. I wasn't harmed, but it's questionable how helpful it was to eat them. Eating proper moldy berries will allegedly help with detoxifying from heavy metals, presumably through biosorption. Aajonus Vonderplanitz recommended it to people who were vaccinated at any point in their life due to the mercury and aluminum in vaccines. According to him it can be dangerous if you eat too many moldy berries. For most people he only recommended 3 moldy berries a week. Some can handle more. If you eat too many, a high quantity of heavy metals could be forced out of your tissues & into your bloodstream in a short period of time, which could very easily do more harm than good. The same thing can happen with the drugs & herbs other people use to try detoxifying themselves from heavy metals. Now is a good time to start eating moldy berries.

>>737339901
Maybe she was just a cunt

She left in 2014 and Neil wasn’t in charge of the company until 2020. He wouldn’t have been the one to fire her.

>>737339309
The release version of Uncharted 4 was fucking garbage. I don't understand why devs always talk about it as if the new team saved the day when they still delivered trash.
Her Uncharted 4 wasn't any good? Well, his wasn't either. He's still in charge of the company to this day. Clearly not being able to make a good Uncharted 4 is not reason enough for anything.

>>737340156
4 was better than 3

>>737339309
Uncharted 4 was a massive success and Neil followed it up with Last of Us which is one of the biggest games of all time, obviously he was going to get a lot of authority in the company. Amy was also just a writer while Neil could actually direct the projects. I think the plot of TLoU2 is rancid dogshit but you don't have to pretend he was just randomly gifted control of ND out of nowhere. He made them a ton of money.

>/v/ cares about the inner workings of naughty dog
Just stop pretending you’re not a fan already

>>737340219
Disagree but 3 is bad too, who gives a shit. Naughty Dog has been on a downwards spiral ever since, they can't make a good game to save their lives.
I get that journos disagree and think it's the highest art the medium can produce, but what makes them think Hennig's version would be any different for their preferences? They lapped up Uncharted 3 as well, it's at 92 on metacritic.
But they just run with that narrative that her game would be trash and Druckmann saved the day. They would have loved whatever low quality slop she would shit out too, 100%.

>>737339630
They hate her because she damages the narrative that gaming is a boys club and NO women where allowed to make games and even if they did the SEXIST gamers hated it

>>737339309

I´m sure Drunkman believes it but his definition of good writing is his own work so that´s not worth much.

TRVKE same reason they shit on Roberta Williams for running one of the most successful PC game companies of the 90's despite being a woman.

I hate Cuckman as much as the next guy, but Uncharted 3 was awful and it's obvious they were already out of ideas. Wouldn't surprise me if 4 was a shitshow from the start

>>737340234
The other dude he erased from the credits tard wrangled him and wrote tlou. By all accounts tlou2 was his idea for 1 that the other guy shot down because it was retarded. Druckmann is only good at taking credit for the successes of others. He is only able to do this because of his ethnic industry connections and the true talent being goyim his friends are delighted to help him fuck over.

>>737340557
>most successful PC game companies of the 90's
>still no idea who she is
Yep. Sounds about right for a woman.

>>737339410
She was a classical nerd who voiced opinions that leaned more towards 80-90s style sensibilities like "not every male character with close ties to another male character has to be gay" and so was ousted from the industry during the big work push.

>>737342256

Got kicked out of the company that makes autocad by investor bullshit because she actually focused on quality over dividends then got thrown at yahoo, had all her directions ignored, got kicked out by investors trying to strip it down for parts rather than fix it, and got blamed afterwards.

Hennig was so magnanimous after leaving and never said a bad word about anyone at naughty dog despite being ousted yet they still go out of their way to talk shit about her
fucking jews man

>>737339630
It's because she has legit talent and didn't bend the knee entirely to woke shit. Now she has been exiled. Leftists hate people with legit talent because they have none.

We could not have had Raziel and Kain without Henig's insight into male flaws and strengths. She would have also had influence on the original version of Joel, and how the wrong man can do the right thing, which a narcissist like Druck can't get his head around
>no no, it must be because Joel has this selfish need to be a father

Uncharted was absolute dogshit.
Not saying anything Cuckmann has done is any better, Studio should have folded after losing the Crash licence since CTR was the last thing good they ever made.

Matilda effect still goes hard in gaming, for writing specifically I feel like woman are usually way better at writing romance/porn and actual realistic human interactions. A Dance with Rogues for example is like the only good story line porn game probably because a woman made it.

>>737339309
The irony of this is that Uncharted was always written to be a generic action blockbuster and the 4th game (that drunkmann takes credit for saving) is easily the worst. Amy Henpig gets overrated to hell and back for being a woman writing for vidya games, her stories are just a rip off of Romancing the Stone.

>>737344764

Unironically who do you think you're fooling? Leftism shifted long ago away from economics to being focused on socio-political garbage.

>>737342256
She founded Sierra On-Line, who basically defined the adventure game genre as it's popularly known now. Sierra's publishing division is also responsible for the existence of Tribes, Half-Life, Homeworld, and the SWAT games.

>>737339410
>did amy henig leave on bad terms?
Bad enough that the voice actors almost left the game, and only didn't because of their contracts. There's an interview somewhere with Sully's VA talking about it.

She pissed off the kikes at some point

>>737339838

Objectively the fault must lie in the other THREE writers and the DIRECTOR and the JEWISH FAGGOTS that ran this section of Square Enix. Square has been downsizing the westerners from their company for years now because of failures like this and the tomb raider reboot that just barely broke even.

A lot of people in the video game industry are only here for the prestige, so use dirty tactics to move up the ladder. Amy Henning is true talent that flies in the face of the hacks because she's a woman, and from an age before the bullshit feminist narrative took hold.

I don't think Amy is a fool in all of this. I get the impression that because she's actual talent, she can easily drift to different departments, unlike Druckmann who will live and die as a Naughty Dog figurehead.

Yes but hating women is now mainstream

In all seriousness gaming has always had a decent number of female writers but in recent years companies like to have male public faces for such things. So they end up getting full of themselves and taking credit of others or a team of writers.

After the hamburger helper fiasco no major company wanted their female devs/writers to be in the news. Also amazing that this whole thing for DA2 was considered the worst writing possible at the time and somehow Veil guard is 10x worse

truth nuke, people like druckmann are the most dangerous people you can work with because they WILL see you as a threat to their power and position, even if all you do is bee yourself (thus making them look bad). it's like a rare type of boss or senior that can recognize talent but all they do with it is try to undermine it. like real life salieri types

>>737348757
Uncharted does this curious thing where it holds Nazis in kind of high regard. it leans into the occult aspect and has the Germans discovering not just El Dorado but also Shangri La. Sure.
but its how Drake always refers to them as friends and buddies when he encounters their corpses. Its the kind of thing that happens too much to be an accident. And how they're never really an opposing faction, merely in the wrong place wrong time victims in over their head.
And how white Drake everyman mows down hundreds of Somalians and Indians and other undesirables every game.
I get the sense that Amy Henning is very unapologetically based. Like high IQ autist level doesn't give a shit based and it just leaks all over the scripts. If she was the type that they could control and make into a mouthpiece she'd still be around. But she isn't, so they sent in one of their LITERAL ISRAELI agents to oversee one of gaming's biggest studios. He immediately made weird lesbian kid dlc, subversive nightmare TLOU2, and is now sinking Naughty Dog with no survivors. Probably on purpose because he is a spiteful ghoul

as has been said, Leftists hate women that arent victim class like Amy and JK Rowling.

I'm going to give you the stupidest take I have ever had: "Conspiracy does not imply competence, coordination or even acting in mutual interest, it just means one or more people are huffing the same farts."
The diabological "they" is consulting firms who conspire to get industries to hire increasing numbers of barely competent nepotistic con-artists in order to solve problems created by the previous wave of con-artists. This inevitably leads to hiring a CEO from his position as a consultant in a former consulting firm who will put this cycle into overdrive and cash out as much as possible.
If a company and its shareholders believe that they have covered all of the necessary competencies, then they have no reason to hire consultants for anything.
Druckmann hires consultants to fill apparent gaps in Naughty Dog's skillset and because they are exceptionally good at gladhanding, this requires denigrating the existing competencies of the company and gaslighting people into believing there is a problem.

didn't she do the concept for forspoken? not the writing?
kind of like george rr martin (or w/e his name is) did for elden ring.

I don't think forspoken was a particularly interesting concept, its just an isekai basically, but that is hardly bad, its issue was the actual writing and dei bullshit not the concept
a parallel to this would be sword art online, where the concept itself (stuck in a video game where you die irl if you die in it and its a hardcore game and the general setup) is fine, but the actual writing is fucking awful

I thought uncharted was like the most garbage basic dumb shit imaginable without playing one and then someone bought me uncharted 2 unprompted around the time the 3rd one was coming out so I gave it a try and it turned it was just a relaxed fun time adventure game, it took itself seriously and tried to be a good story and while the gameplay was nothing special it had a lot of effort put into having a lot of novel scenarios and really felt like you were playing an adventure movie
was a lot better than I thought it was and I think I judged it unfairly
