the tears and awards came pouring out
for the first game so who's ready for
part two welcome to watchmojo.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 her dad left for more
gaming videos check out our new spinoff
channel mojo plays for in-depth reviews
thoughtful video essays detailed
character origins and insightful
commentary mojo plays games smarter for
this countdown we're listening off some
improvements and additions we'd love to
see in the sequel to The Last of Us
[Music]
number 10 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 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
eight 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 seven dynamic
weather
[Music]
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 Lund
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 6
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 5
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 four 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 3
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 2 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 one 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
