The tears and awards came pouring out for the first game so who's ready for part two welcome to nikugames.com and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 things we want to see in the last of us part 2
Number 1
more puzzle variety we're starting off by addressing one of the elephants in the room The Last of Us was an incredible experience but it really wasn't flawless for starters what was with the puzzles yeah we're looking at you rafts there were many times in this game where just the sight of a raft made us groan yeah you know is gonna be another one of those puzzles they just felt kind of uninspired and pointless finding ways for Elly to cross water was not exactly the best way of keeping the game's pacing even Naughty Dog we think Ellie can swim by now you know number nine
Number 2
improved combat while we're on the subject of gameplay improvements can we address the combat shooting segments can only be intense up until the whole thing starts to get dragged out too long stealth segments on the other hand felt incredibly limiting it would be nice to see part two give us a little more freedom and sneaking around and keep the gunfights short sweet and punchy
Number 3
photo mode eight missed calls ru photo mode is something that Naughty Dog previously utilized in uncharted 4 though it's since gained wider recognition in 2017 thanks to recent titles like horizon zero dawn SuperMario Odyssey and Assassin's Creed origins as a gateway for gamers who have a passion for photography the inclusion of a photo mode allows players to snapshot in-game moments and share their works with others given the very impressive visuals of The Last of Us this is the feature Naughty Dog should not leave out in their future games phone's dead
Number 4
dynamic weather speaking of impressive technology how about this weather huh we loved the atmosphere in the first game but for part two would it be too much to ask for some dynamic weather we aren't just asking to make the game look prettier that shouldn't be a problem for Naughty Dog dynamic weather could breathe a little more life into the world even if a good chunk of the inhabitants of said world are now Land at bunkers monsters of course an occasional rain storm or intensely cloudy day could add even more dread and anxiety in certain scenarios this isn't really a must-have but that's also why it's not higher on the list
Number 5
more enemy types where they were talking about a quarter cept fungus as soon as we saw it we were intrigued by the idea of what if it jumped to humans and what interesting ways would it take over a human body and enforce it to spread that infection as great as it was the Last of Us was kind of lacking in the enemy diversity department got someone shooting at you shoot him in the head in fact it running towards you shoot them in the head cannibal coming for your kidneys you should probably shoot them in the head now that a long time has passed between the first game and part two it's safe to assume that the infected have evolved somewhat a the large time gap would give Naughty Dog a good opportunity to create more unique enemies some that might require specific methods of dealing with them that are unique and challenging
Number 6
branching paths anything for you to decide it's what you want we realized this might be a bit too much to ask but hear us out while we appreciate the last of us and how the story was structured it would be interesting to see part 2 take a less linear approach instead of having certain events happen in a specific way making situations diverse in the ways to approach them could give the players more freedom this in turn will make part 2 a more personal experience and demand a little more creative thinking maybe certain actions could trigger special events in the story or result in multiple endings it's just a thought but the addition could give the game some replay value above difficulty modes swear to me that everything that you've said about the fireflies is true I swear
Number 7
Ellie on her own who's there come out confirmed by naughty dog after its reveal players will assume the role of alien part two after the drop of the first trailer we have many many questions that still need answers though so who's she going after what's with the tattoo did she pick up any survival skills from Joel well we know that one right what's made her so angry and vengeful writer neil druckmann has said that unlike the first games themed around love part 2 will be surrounded on the theme of hate after seeing the first trailer it's clear something traumatic has happened to Ellie and she won't rest until she finds them
Number 8
Joel's fate you can't save her even if you get her out of here then what how long before she's torn to pieces by pack of clickers Joel may be confirmed to be a part of the upcoming sequel but that doesn't mean he's actually alive this claim has divided many fans in the community but for now this is only a theory the question of Joel's fate all comes from the first trailer aside from not seeing his face at all he says very few ambiguous words could this be him acting as her conscience could Ellie's hatred be towards a potential group of people who killed Joel if Joel really is dead how is Ellie handling his life from the end of the first game it looks like 2018 already has that million-dollar question what happened to Joel what are you doing kiddo you really gonna go through with this
Number 9
Joel singing well when I was a kid I used to want to be a singer remember the scene where Ellie asks Joel what he wanted to be it's touching really if you were lucky enough to see the last of us one night live in person you got to see an alternate ending where Ellie here's Joel sing don't bother looking at footage because apparently there is none once the stream of this production ended neil druckmann ask everyone to refrain from recording there is a chance that this scene has become canon as Joel mentions in the scene that he would love to teach Ellie how to play guitar two seamers eager
Number 10
don't play it safe with the story if the second trailer has told us anything if that naughty dog does not plan to hold back nor do we really want them to so far part two is looking brutal vicious and frightening however our concerns come from a common mistake found in many sequels plot threads are revisited or new ones are created but the story ends with the character is unchanged and resetting everything back to square one the worst case scenario would be if this turns out to be nothing but a setup for a third game not that we wouldn't play a third game but come on we won't wallow in this doubt for now though in Druckman we trust so god speed meal gon speed okay do you agree with our picks check out these other great article from nikugames and subscribe for new article every day
