The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Good question, is there anything left?. There's probably never going to be a third game, and the TV show seems to be bombing, this franchise seems to be done, i almost pity the people who liked the first game, seeing a franchise outright commit suicide like TLoU did, is never pleasant.

I enjoy every second of it, because TLoU is David Cage tier garbage carried by bleeding edge technology.

Of couirse there will be a third game: Ellie hunts Abby again but this time to confess her love and they will be on the run from Dina who will do everything to drag Ellie back because she isn't paying child support

Most likely. Probably in front of Tommy for the extra kick

I need to preorder it (and the six remasters that will follow)

This could be easily solved by focusing on a brand new cast in a brand new area, but they are too obsessed with wanking off melodrama therapy worship. It's not like this setting has a whole world to explore or anything.

The third game is obviously going to have Lev as the protag on a quest to troon out Dina's son so they can have a straight with extra steps relationship.

Say the fungal zombies evolved and turn it into Resident Evil with them getting new forms or people using the virus to give them weird superpowers like Wesker or Sattler.

Nah thats too "cool" for modern ND.

It's always surprised me that Neil Druckman has never faced any #metoo allegations. The man fits the creepy beta male feminist stereotype so closely he's practically a cartoon.

Give it time. After he stops being the talk of the town for woke gaming, he will either fade into obscurity or be accused. Then again, #metoo has lost a lot of its good will so I would not be surprised if he got away.

Without a doubt any attempt to resurrect the franchise would need to do a 180, go somewhere else and make a new story untouched by the crap it's already been through (I for one would kill for a Zomboid like survival game or a proper soldier story set in the quarantine zones)

It's more up in the air as to whether the damage is so great that they would be successful by just sweeping what Druckmann has done under the rug and doing a soft reboot or if they would have to go out of their way to decanonize everything that came after the first game in an attempt to bring back regular gamers and drive away the current redditized fanbase, sort of like how plenty of Star Wars fans want to bring back Legends and get rid of everything with Kathleen Kennedy's name on it to at the very least show that they have changed direction.

I'm on Day 2 (The Descent) in TLOU2 as Abby and I've had two serious gripes so far:

- the Bloater boss fight with Ellie and Joel is horseshit because you're expected to let him grab you after he takes enough damage. This is something that rarely happens in video games. I kept running out of ammo and I didn't know what to do. When he grabbed me, I'd instantly restart the encounter. I'm sure I wasn't the only one to have a problem with this.

- there's too many points of no return. Usually it's clear if you can go back to explore and grab items, but I just missed a safe because a dried out corpse was enough to prevent me from reopening a door. It's right next to the gym and juice bar in the skyscraper after falling into the pool through the glass ceiling (see: attachment). It wasn't the first time it happened, either.

Also, taking a pregnant woman on a dangerous scouting mission might not be the best idea when you have a whole NFL stadium worth of adult men with military equipment. Just sayin'.

The issue is that outside of the Joel/Ellie dynamic, around which the whole setting is built for, TLOU is about as generic as a zombie apocalypse setting can get.

Granted, the zombies existing because of mushrooms, instead of a virus, is a novel idea, but it doesn't fundamentally change much in how things play out. The clickers "evolving" is nothing particularly unique, plenty of other zombie IPs have experimented and featured different types of zombies beyond the regular shamblers.

Take away Joel and Ellie and you end up with another boilerplate zombie apocalypse. This is why killing off Joel signified the death keel of the whole franchise. Without Joel and Ellie to bounce off each other there's nothing there to hook audiences in.

S2E6, flashback, Bigot Sandwich Guy returns.



We get Bigot Sandwich Guy lore, in that he used to be a cop. No doubt a Bigot Cop.

Joel procures Bigot Sandwich Guy some Legos and in return, Bigot Sandwich Guy is kind enough to bake Ellie a cake.



You'll notice the cake does not in fact say "Happy 15th Birthday, Dyke" since Ellie's fondness for clam jousting is not yet known.

They mock his spelling of Ellie's name, as they're ungrateful to be eating cake during the apocalypse, and Ellie decides to eat the cake using her hands, disgusting.



We find out that Gail's husband was Ralphie Cifaretto and that he's been bitten out in the woods or something.



Ellie tries to come up with some dumb way for Ralphie to see his wife again, but Joel does the correct thing and executes him.

Joel tells Gail some shit about how Ralphie shot himself and went out like a man, but Ellie decides to fuck Joel over and tell Gail the truth for no reason.

Joel finally tells Ellie how he used the power of montages to kill all of those Fireflies in season 1.

Ellie is upset that she's both ugly and alive, and tells Joel that she might not ever be able to forgive him for saving her from being butchered...but she'd like to try.

They ugly cry and ugly ugly cry.



Oh, Joel and Tommy's dad was Lalo Salamanca for some reason.

Okay this has to be an in joke now they have her posing like the inbred kings of old. I am convinced someone in the creative process of this show is purely memeing at this point.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

Its Ironic and funny that Seeth is the best character. Wholesome guy overall.

 

[ShitLurker]

I'm convinced at this point that a single writer who isn't a DEI obsessed faggot is making bigot sandwich the best character in the series preying on the lefty retards usual fake preconceptions of what is good and bad.

"Bigot sandwich is bad cause he wants vengeance" thinks the faggot.

"Whoa, someone with some actual blood flowing in their veins" thinks a normal person.

clair obscur proves that killing characters isnt the problem. hell you spend like 3 hours with gustave and still has more impact

[The Paleblood Vessel]

As expected from a two game series that has shitloads of rereleases, they'll be extending this out as long as humanly possible.

Who the fuck is actually watching this and enjoying it though? Even people I see online who are watching it think it's a step down from the first season, and who the fuck thought that making the second season 7 episodes long when it has more ground to cover than the first game was a good idea?
