i know people liked the little multiplayer mode in the original last of us well enough, but with the new tlou multiplayer thing canceled i'm still just kind of shocked that naughty dog though they should do a live service game at all. naughty dog, the company that's spent the last 18 years making games with okay-at-best third person cover shooting that are carried by their high budget storytelling and set piece moments. (i would not argue that the last of us part ii has very good storytelling, fuck neil druckmann etc., but that is the selling point of those games for people who do like them.) yeah let's have those guys turn their grim post-apocalyptic treatise on cycles of violence into an online multiplayer shooter with a battle pass. that'll go great
then again they're still going ahead with their plan to turn said grim post-apocalyptic treatise on cycles of violence into an endlessly replayable roguelite, so i can't say they've quite learned their lesson
