Yeah they'd be a third 100%, Druckmen seems interested but I expect at the end of ps5. I also love how everybody is saying no, just like when last of us ended but here we are with a part 2
I meant continuing after Part 2 would feel like that. You know, Godfather Part III type of deal.
A third game would be 'continuing without any stop'? Huh?
You did say that the 2nd game being divisive means the entire idea never should happen which is just absurd and then leaped from that to say the reception of the second game (critical darling, good sales, outspoken detractors and supporters of it) is a sign it shouldn't continue.
If you don't want a third game continuing this story, then don't buy it if it ends up happening.
This, I want them to be happy for once. Best characters, let Ellie be done.
Yep, this will. 100% be the plot for part 3. Makes the most sense given the ending & it's a nice way to end the series on.I was thinking a redemption story for Ellie where she finally moves on after the events of Part II would be neat. Something along the lines where she becomes like Joel and takes care of someone as her reason to survive.
People didn't want a sequel because they liked the ambiguity of the ending and the moral question of Joel's final actions. TLOU2 kinda stomped all over that, so as long as they're trampling nuance we might as well get a third game.Yeah they'd be a third 100%, Druckmen seems interested but I expect at the end of ps5.

Same. I want more Abby, but more Abby would mean more Ellie and I honestly like the way their story ended.
I get that, but a sequel did happen and for many it surpasses the first. So I think if they have a good enough idea they'd do it.People didn't want a sequel because they liked the ambiguity of the ending and the moral question of Joel's final actions.

Feels very similar to posts I read in 2013. No one would have accurately predicted the sequel in any meaningful way and doing so now seems like it'd be similarly futile.A third game in the current series with Ellie would have little to work with since her story was largely complete at the ending of Part II.
Part 2 is extremely open ended but having that be a conclusion could still work. You're obviously completely correct if you personally were satisfied by the ending or that the series should end.If Uncharted could conclude rather well, what is so special about concluding TLOU2? I thought Part II could be a sufficient ending for that series.
Which I disagree with strongly. Not taking risks narratively or mechanically stifles creative people and is just about the worst reason to not make a sequel.And regarding the statement on the divisive nature of the second game, I am merely stating that having separate stories from the start would have saved them the headache of pissing off large segments of the fan base with whatever they went with.
Do you think your subjective opinion is so infallible that for someone to disagree they have to have an agenda? Bizarre.It seems like you're trying to squeeze an agenda that I hated the game and don't want that story to continue on that basis, and you're gonna fall flat on that front.
Don't know where you're getting that from, my sentiment is studio/franchise agnostic. I don't care about your personal feelings on the game for this discussion, I care about the points you made for why a 3rd game shouldn't happen. My opinion on that can be universally applied to any franchise or studio now or in the future. Chase creative inspiration, don't stay away because you might step on some toes.Have no idea why you feel the need to do PR for Naughty Dog like I hate the game, and yikes on that end.
Conversely, if you don't want your comment replied to...don't make it? The only one being defensive here is you. One of the points of this forum is to discuss and exchange opinions. Your comment would make more sense if I attacked you instead of your post which is something I don't do.If you don't like my opinion (and I assume others) on Naughty Dog concluding the series with the second game, then simply move on from my comment.
except no one alive can do anything with ellie anymore anyways, Joel killed the only person who could.
He could definitely play a role in it since Abby and Ellie would likely work together at one point. It would be interesting to see how he and Dina react to that. But I don't think they would make a complete rehash of the second (nor the first) game.The absolute dumbest, most contrived thing they could do would have JJ be grown up and for some convoluted reason embark on some stupid revenge/murder mission.
Why you gotta hurt me like this.I hope it is nothing because the ending of TLOU2 was perfect.
If it continues I hope Ellie is in a secondary role and it is equally as interesting and nuanced as 2 was with its approach to character and narrative. I would not want it to be as simply defined as a redemption arc.
Because she is an extremely deep character, maybe the most fully realized ever in a game.Zero desire to see a part three if it includes Ellie as a main character.
I legit hate to say this as lesbian woman, but damn I couldn't stand the majority of my time playing as Ellie and will never understand how anyone can.
Now if it's Abby and Lev, I'm all in.
well its 30 years after the outbreak, and most people who would have the knowledge before hand would likely have been older in their 40s and 50s by the time it started, but even at 30 they would be 60 now at the youngest, and with no means to really teach anyone such complicated stuff its really not hard to believe. they would have to survive the new outbreak and 30 years in this shit world and avoid major health conplications.That is a weird plot point to me. Only ONE person can do the necessary surgery? No one else is qualified? We don't know everyone who lives in (or attempts to) other parts of the US or other countries lol.
Yeah, I'm just going to say I absolutely disagree with this and view her as a vengeful fool as to not get to deep into spoiler territory.Because she is an extremely deep character, maybe the most fully realized ever in a game.
Did you feel this way about her in the first game too?Zero desire to see a part three if it includes Ellie as a main character.

It's a very frustrating thing about the Last of Us and how small they make the world for the conveniences for the plot. I'm sure there are other doctors out there. Hell we're forgetting there are still cities in the East Coast.That is a weird plot point to me. Only ONE person can do the necessary surgery? No one else is qualified?

Hmm.
