it dosen't matter. Sony's games are just an iteration of post apocalyptic with parenthood themes. so...all are the last of us

Why? Because it became woke garbage. The first game was a masterpiece until the DLC. They pretty much killed the franchise when they focused away from Joel, just to kill him off too.
TLOU 2 is way better than the first though, you should really try it

I bought it 2 years ago and never gathered the mental energy to even download it. Purely because of the drama and depressing story parts.

This makes no sense
How do you love a game and then have no interest in its better looking better playing sequel

Killing one of the main characters tends to get some people less interested.
The last time it was done right, imo, was in FF7 (original).

it's just weird that this has to be pointed out...

It still makes no sense.
I didn’t stop enjoying walking dead when Rick retired from the show
Still enjoyed all the dragonball movies without goku
story makes the game, not a single character.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Yes, I believe all the focus is on it for Niel
That and HBO leaning on his shoulders asking "you have a season 3... right?
To some it'll be the best game ever made with outstanding graphics, gameplay mechanics
to others? It'll be a convoluted mess that was painfully obvious it was written 13 years after the original and by different mindset like PT2 and It's should've ended at the first game.
The Last of Us PT2 doesn't fail because Joel dies.
It's convenience lazy writing to get to point A-B that ruins the game and in turn ruins the original.
How can you enjoy the gameplay and graphics if all you're thinking about is how the last cut scene you watched didn't make any sense and was straight up retarded
It's the unlikable characters you are ment to cheer on, the out of character story beats for the convenience of the new story to exist and the very poorly done revenge story.
So you can go on about it's graphics and gameplay all you want.
but that doesn't change that the story & execution was trash.
The general foundation of the story is fine, it just really badly done.

Understanding why the TLOUPT2 fails is how you understanding where TLOUPT1 succeeded.

well, you do you, as they say...
few games've gone more out of their way to engage the player emotionally with its main characters than last of us. &, as is often the case involving emotional attachment, it isn't really exclusively about whether or not it makes 'sense'. there's a reason most game/movie/book series are built around a recurring protagonist - many people obviously really like it! there's familiarity, & stability, & connection, & sharing in the experience of the character's development. i mean, what can i say? who we choose to become attached to is very subjective, &, yes, has quite a bit to do with our enjoyment of 'story' as predicated on that...
not to mention, i'd think that even you yourself would have to acknowledge that there's just a slight difference between a protagonist leaving a tv series after 9 seasons & one leaving a game series within the first hour of only the second game?...

I didn't exactly love the first one I just thought it was a decent game. As for the sequel, I know enough about it to know why I don't want it.
Won't lie, this made me laugh.

The next Naughty Dog game (non remake) will be PS5/PS6 cross gen at release. You heard it here first. I'm betting all the clout.
Listen, I see the hair on the chin, but the facial features on this are far too feminine. Shoulders too narrow as well. Broaden those things up. Basically put a wig on Nikola Jokic and you're golden.

Going by history yes. LOU1 and 2 were launched right before the new consoles came out, so sony launches LOU games at peak user base before some start transitioning to the new console.
Timing is important since the games cost a lot and they need peak gamers. And then at some point remasters/remakes come out in the new gen for more sales, then a sequel. Rinse and repeat.

Yes.
The only thing better than the game is watching the triggered crowd cry that it's too woke.

I could there be a part three when there was never a part two?

For many players they killed one of the main characters AND the story that 'makes the game' was bad. They took shitty choices, that's all.
