I don't know why you are trying so much, but just stop. You are just making people angry at you by no reason.
Unless you can prove TLOU is a complete story, please refrain from saying such a thing.
The Last of Us begin with a simple "let's get back our weapons" thing and end up with a girl who can save the world with her immunity to the fatal disease.

Was the world saved? No.
The protagonists died? No.
The end is finishing anything? No.

They just reached another safe zone, what's so completing about it?
They have a full organization behind their trail and a wolrd infested with a disease that apparently only one girl can stop.
They end the game with a lie, they let open a lot of room to anyone to think about their own way of how it could be from there on, what's in that proves the story finished?
They could have left this room on purpose to end like this and that's all? Yes.
But could'nt they have it end like this to this room to be up there for a sequel? Yes as well.

Seeing how people are really excited about it, seems more like the last one to me, but to you, it's like you were there with them and it can't be the way you don't think it is.

You know perfectly well you are making people here angry because of this and still keep with it, you are making a happy thread turn into a ridiculous debate and letting people sad/angry with it. Can't you please reconsider what you are doing here?

The people that are excited are excited because it's a game and successful games historically just get sequels and because they liked the game they think it should get a sequel too. It's conditioning. That doesn't justify there being a sequel. Most of those people wouldn't be saying the same things if it was done to a book or movie with a plot like this, because they, in most cases, know how to respect the power of one. I don't know who ultimately made the desision to make a sequel to that game, but they clearly don't. Most gamers have been conditioned not to even realise that there is a power of one. The fact that people still want a Metroid Prime 4 proves that. The fact that there's a Super Mario Galaxy 2 and people are okay with it proves that. The fact that there might be a TLOU2 and people are okay with it proves that.

It doesn't matter if the world was saved. TLOU isn't about saving the world. It's about a man coping with the death of his daughter, and that man's story is done. That man's arc has ended. There's nothing interesting or significant left to say about Joel coping with the loss of his daughter that merits an entire new and full story arc, and there's nothing that the world or Ellie have to add to that either. Not enough to warrent another full narrative.

And I don't care if people don't like what I have to say. You live in the real world. People are going to have opinions that piss you off. When that happens, you're only choice is to deal with it. You know what trying to silence people whose differing opinions make you mad or sad is called? Censorship. I'm not harming or insulting anyone by saying making a sequel to TLOU spits in the face of the story it tries to tell. It annoys me that people are actually okay with this, but you don't see me, then, going around trying to tell everyone to "please leave the thread so I can be pissy about TLOU2." I'm embracing the fact that people are different from me and partaking in healthy debate about why's and why nots. This is a forum. It's not meant to be a place where we all hold hands and agree. It's a place where intellects trade opinions on topics. This isn't Miiverse.
