maybe you should listen to yourself. the last of us is barely a year old and if ND could improve on the story and make it better than the first, who are we to say no? 

who are you tell an author when and what he should write or how to express a beautifyul world he imagines.? 

besides your example is not very solid since journey's cant exactly be compared to a rich story driven world of possiblities such as thelastofus. Once again your annoyance is severely misplaced. 


Who am I? A critic. That's what critics do. That criticize what aught to be criticized. Writers are people with flaws, and those flaws can carry over into their writing, and us, as critics, criticize those flaws.

And of course Journey can be compared to TLOU, in this particular discussion. They are two games with nothing more to say once that conclude.

The world in TLOU is paper thin. The characters are what made TLOU, not the setting. It could have been set somewhere else, and have been compelling in the same exact way story wise. The only integral thing that zombies add are something to shoot at and not feel bad about it.

critisizing a game that isnt going to be out for the next 3 years seems rather foolish and thread bare to me...

Relax, almost everyone I know who has played this game wants to know what happens, where or how you came up this notion that the ending was desgined for the  imagination and the imagination only is beyond me. Bottom line is you're in the minority, people want to see what happens, people want to see a newer version of the ellie and joel story, and the ending of the last of us allows that to happen.

It doesn't matter if they want to know what happens and ND has already stated that they are more than happy with how the story turned out because there is nothing more tell. ND told the story that ND wanted to tell and that's that. Minority does not mean wrong, I agree with Spemanig that Joel and Ellies stories should be done since the ending leaves more good questions than there could be good answers. I don't agree that TLoU sequel will be a slap in the face to the first one because ND should have new characters and with new characters comes new adventure and a whole new storyline set in the same world as TLoU.

I can't see ND recycling more content than they need to. They will offer a whole new storyline with brand new characters in a different state, hopefully.

What if The Last of Us 2 is to TLOU what Uncharted 2 was to Uncharted 1? :D

Impossibruu.... You can't perfect perfection.... Or can you? :P



Not really news. I just hope there's a completely new setting with completely new characters.

While I'm happy that they're making it, I really struggle to see how it can top the first one. It's going to be held to such a high standard that if it fails to at least match the first one in any area it's going to get panned for it.

I was also really hoping we'd get a new ND franchise soon.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Finally, we discover the fate of Ish and his new family.

Even Naughty Dog say Joel and Ellie's story is over. They're gonna use different characters:

"I think the world [of The Last of Us] is ripe for more stories, but as far as the journey Joel and Ellie goes on it ends with this game," Creative Director Neil Druckmann said. "We were very conscious that we didn’t want to leave this story dangling. If we never do a sequel we’re ok with it, because we told the story we needed to tell."


I hope they stay true to that. I agree with spemanig, The ending is not about "OMG what will happen now, they didn't save the world".

It's a personal story. Joel lies to Ellie, he swears he's telling the truth, she says "OK". The end. We're not meant to find out what happens after that. That's the story of these characters.

I'm not opposed to the idea of a sequel in the same universe, if it's done very well. But Joel and Ellie are done, please don't bring them back.

Why is this post being ignored?





The sales of the game on PS3 and PS4 are around + 10M. There is no way a sequel won't be made.



Nooo why? :(
