Has ND earned your trust to do a Last Of Us Part lll?
- Thread starter Mr Coopz
- Start date
The first one was my favorite game of all time. It was unseated by Part II which is now my all time favorite. I need more.
They have my trust to make damned near any game they want. They need to work on representation issues for sure though.
Of course - they've not let me down in more than a decade. Whether they make TLOU3, Uncharted 5 or another new IP, I welcome it!
Absolutely. They're masters in their craft and each project of theirs has done nothing but hone and refine their skills.
That being said, I don't much care for Abby or Lev as characters. I'd much rather this hypothetical sequel focus almost exclusively on Ellie.

As someone that didn't want a TLOU2...yes. Still don't necessarily want a Part 3 but I'd absolutely take it.
For real...why would they need our trust lol they're the only ones who could do it.
I don't think our trust has anything to do with it but at this point I'd personally prefer if they made something else even though I know they will come back to a part 3 after probably one other game release. I had particular problems with part 2's pacing which were quite similar to my issues with Uncharted 4's pacing so I dunno anymore. They used to be one my favorite devs pre-uncharted 4 but they've been moving in a different direction that's not as interesting to me.
Sure. From a narrative and gameplay standpoint, I personally don't feel I need a Last of Us Part III. But having said, both Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us Part II were sequels I never asked for because I was pretty satisfied with their predecessors left things. And yet Uncharted 4 wound up being my game of the year in 2016, and while I can't say for sure where TLoU Part 2 ends up on my list this year, it's definitely in the running for me.
So if ND wants to do a Last of us Part 3, I'd definitely want to play that. But at the same time if they don't, I'm fairly satisfied with where Part II ended the story.

Though I'm kind of tired of the overall predictability and sometimes tediousness of the combat scenarios. I would love to see a proper conclusion. Ellie needs to finish the mission that was started in the the original game imo.
I just don't know what else you do with TLOU. I'm pretty confident they'll be moving on to something new.
I am not gonna say that that is impossible, but I feel especially with Part II, the series just isn't about finding the cure for humanity. It's about a girl that happens to be immune, and the drama that surrounds her and her relationships.
I'm definitely annoyed by the incredibly unrealistic take on Jerry being the BEST DOCTOR THAT EVER DOCTORED AND WITHOUT HIM WE ARE LOST.
It's simply asinine that the game would frame Jerry as just the one guy who could make a vaccine out of Ellie.
I don't need it but you could find someone saying these exact same words before TLOU2 was announced 😅
No.
I'm fucking tired of seeing this kind of discussion among people. There was no reason to make Part 2, as much as I enjoyed the game the story that needed to be told should have ended in Part 1, and then have Part 2 be strictly the story with Abby as her part of the game was much more enjoyable than Ellie's simply because it was NOT Ellie. It's the same reason as to why I dislike Uncharted 4, but they showed that if they are going to make a new game, it shouldn't always have the main character('s) of the franchise be front and center.
I wanted a new original ND game to come out this gen, and I really really wish they made something else this gen other than something down to earth realistic. They're an incredibly talented team that keeps having frequent burnout and a churn of employees over the last few games they've put out, and they keep burning talent with insane unnecessary detail, mixed with cognitive dissonance (Uncharted) and torture porn that could be in a literal snuff film (The Last of Us 2 specifically).
Of course, before I'd want them to work on another game, I want them to fix the fucking issue with turnover, burnout, and crunch before I want them to touch another line of code, draw another texture, make another damn sound effect, otherwise I'm going to just enjoy literally any other game that doesn't sacrifice it's workers (I'm including CDPR in this as well, but for many MANY reasons rather than just what ND has done).

I wasn't really happy about the prospect of a sequel to the first game, but they nailed it so perfectly that I'm absolutely down for more if they want to do it
so, no. as someone who loved the original game, naughty dog have not in any way gone on to earn my trust. quite the contrary, actually...
I mean I never took it as them saying he is the best doctor ever in the history of anyone.
Every doctor in the world would have been on the front lines went shit went down. So in this post apocalyptic world with no kind of wide communication like internet obviously, how would they even know where to find another doctor or surgeon that could do it? They could wander around the country and maybe not find a single one.
Best or not, the narrative frames him as being the one man who could make a vaccine. No one puts to question his claims or that without him, they can't even try to make a vaccine. And while the internet may be gone, books certainly aren't. They should be available somewhere for people to read and learn from. And also, if he was taking in students, Jerry should have obviously taught students on how to make vaccines. Doctors should be common, if anything, because special attention would have to be paid to infected. And even if not, Jerry mentioned in his recording that he had experimented on other people in search for a cure. He should have extensive research notes that tell what he's looking for, what his plan is, what the other subjects were lacking that he needed.
Part of the many things that need to happen for the crisis in the final act of TLoU to happen is that Jerry just needs to be the one guy who can make this happen and also be right about how to handle Ellie's immunity. And for story purposes, I accept it, but it's arguably the least realistic thing about this series that tries to be realistic about so much. Jerry is just this super mega doctor that is framed as the one guy who can make this work, which is nonsensical. At the very least, there should be a TEAM of elite doctors rather than just one guy. But one guy is more dramatic.
Has the studio earned my trust to create more games using their own IP with two of the best games period...hmm...yeah I think they have. This reads like you meant a different series that isn't theirs altogether. No I don't necessarily trust ND to make a Zelda game :P
I don't understand your point about Ellie helping the community and how it plays into her mentality change to never being positive about anything anymore.
But the first part of your explanation I think I understand. You're saying "that's just how brain chemistry worked out for her" and that's why she went from happy, positive 16 year old with love of comics, dinosaurs, puns and astronauts to someone who's never positive about anything within 3 years and who doesn't see how terrible it is to let her loved ones join in on her personal revenge quest.
Since I don't want to repeat my mostly ignored arguments a third time, I hope you're ok if I stop getting back to this discussion from now on.
it's pretty clear Part 2 leaves enough breathing room for Part 3 and it's not even subtle since it's even on the main menu
I'd say only God of War Ragnarok and Half-Life 3 VR are up there with Part III for me.
