Details about The Last of Us Part III have been leaked
New details have been leaked regarding the rumoured 'The Last Of Us Part 3', which will be the latest installment in the popular series from Naughty Dog.
This article mentions a bunch of new names and I just can't bring myself to care. This franchise burnt all of my interest and good faith in it when tlou2 dropped.
At this point for me, only TLoU is canon and everything else is just fanfiction.
Oh god, are we gonna do this here, too?
Seems that way. Really unfortunate. Imagine being so upset about a game you have to run around and try and ruin it for everyone else.
Why?
For me, it felt like the first game had something original to say and did it really, really well, but the second’s story was just another “revenge: dig two graves” story, with the bonus that Ellie murders a million people before the game decides that revenge doesn’t solve anything. It felt like the game missed its own point for the sake of the gameplay—gameplay that didn’t feel original to me like the first game did.
Comparing the second to the first one, where I felt like the game introduced NPCs that didn’t have simple scripted one-liners … when I killed someone, holy shit, I felt bad about it. That person had a family, and even though it may have been justified, murder still felt bad. I thought the first game was really good at making a point that killing a person is very different than killing a monster.
The second game didn’t seem to introduce anything new, and on top of that, the main plot’s message was in conflict with the practical genocide Ellie was committing on her way.
TLoU2 was reasonable in the story line. Really after the first I expected a sequel. I do wonder how they continue the story here with the story of the original finished.
