arguing with you is exactly like arguing with a brick wall, more than one person gives you reasons as to why what you're saying about a sequel being bad is bullshit but you keep saying no, and the only reason you have as to why a sequel is a bad thing is because you, yes only you, think the story is over. you saying that makes zero sense, why? because you don't get to choose if it's over or not.

No, I know that a sequel to TLOU is a bad thing because good writing, which TLOU has in spades, says that the story is over. It's a conclusive ending. There's nothing else to tell and no good reason to tell it. Left Behind was fine because it was equal to a side spin off. It was a little side story meant to be supplimental to the primary true plot. In that way, it protects the integrity of the story TLOU tried to tell. Even a small epilogue DLC that truly did take place years later and truly did show what happened to Joel and Ellie wouldn't be bad in and of itself, because that isn't "Part 2." That's an epilogue. That isn't a continuation of the original and complete story. It's an embelishment of the original an complete story. It's dessert, when a sequel is trying to be another full course meal. Just wait a day and order a different meal instead of ruining the original by having a second burger.

The writing says that the story is absolutely NOT over...

Spoilers.

Ellie knows Joel lied to her and the story stops right there. What happens next? Does she forgive him? Does she run away and try to unattach herself from him? Does she stay and try to start civilization in Tommy's camp? Would be cool if TLOU 2 was semi open world and you have to go out and find supplies for armies camp and defend it etc.
