1. The Last of Us Part II Discussion - Part III concept?

Welcome to Dear Downloads Episode 01 - The Last of Us Part II - hosts Luke and Conor talk with guest AnFe about The Last of Us Part 2 and what that game meant to us and gaming culture. We break down how part 1 and part 2 tell their stories and discuss what TLOU part 3 may be or at the very least some DLC concepts.

------ show notes ------

What does this game mean to me?

Thoughts on story telling technique?

Thoughts on where we go?

Opinions on characters?

Gameplay system / upgrading?

The Last of us (part 1) 20 years later / loss of daughter / develop relationship Joel + Ellie. Complex of story ending (choice / no choice, her choice?)

The Last of us (part 2) 4 years later  / loss of friend or father figure? / develop relationship Ellie + Dina (abbi?)I Don’t feel like we understood or got to be a part what connected Dina and Ellie, but that’s what P1 was playing the part of connecting Joel + Ellie. New character, was a surprise to me and who she was. Complex of story: multiple complexes… revenge? Mercy?

The Last of us (part 3) The consequences of each story has cost each relationship that was developed… what’s next? We knew part 2 was going to be the aftermath? Family and kids? Abbi didn’t want kids, that cost her relationship w Owen...

What’s next with naughty dog? The ended Uncharted and TLOU?!
