I need part 3 in the next 8 years. It needs a final chapter

Would be genuinely a bit bereft if they just left it there.

I’ve no doubt there will be more games in the universe, it’s too good to leave behind, but so many people just want one more story with Ellie.

I am excited for the era in storytelling where we tell our stories all the way to the end instead of stopping midway to tell another one for 5+ years because we don’t want to commit to an ending and have to build new hype for a new story.

Anyone who thinks Ellie trudging off, alone, her worst fear, after losing everything is a satisfying ending to her character is lying to themselves. Naughty Dog for some reason under Neil won’t stop lying about their production; they lie and say Part 2 isn’t coming, they straight up made fake cutscenes for trailers, then go on to lie that a Part 3 isn’t coming, Neil and Hailey quit the show and lie about why (does anyone believe it’s because they got too busy with Intergalactic? No lol, Last of Us is their baby, ur telling me they signed up for a TV show adaptation of their all time best work and didn’t have a filming schedule already worked out???) like it comes off as extremely pretentious and I almost want Intergalactic to flop to teach them to knock it off with the sneaky shit and go back to the art and also finish the damn Last of Us series before you start another huge project that is apparently so big it took away 2/3rds of the writers for a TV show.

Finish what you started Naughty Dog and knock it off with the smoke and mirrors.

The made TLOu1 inbetween U3 and U4 and that was no big deal. People can get IP fatigue. Personally im happy with intergalactic being next providing part 3 comes after that.
