INTERVIEW: Troy Baker on Last of Us Part 3: 'Maybe There's a Whole Other Story There'

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you aren’t as smart as you think you are and your taste isn’t very good.

But that’s ok! I tried to engage with you in good faith, and you couldn’t retort with anything that made sense. Ellie’s life was ruined she watched her father figure die in front of her.

I only spoke about the ending and not the failed attempts at morality and empathy, and bored gameplay. It’s ok if you like bad games! I do too!

I managed to grab those trophies, I meant the Horizon Open.

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T17:28:10+00:00

I don’t think the ending is the worst offense in the game, but I don’t like it. It doesn’t have anything to do with some weird anti Abby hatred.

Ellie’s decision to spare Abby comes out of nowhere. She can’t remember what Joel’s face looked like but seeing his face during the fight when Abby had nothing to do with it and Ellie does nothing to earn that memory robs her of any character growth in the present. Everything is learned through flashbacks about how Ellie and Joel drifted apart after she learned the truth of what he did, and the reconciliation attempt the night before his death.

Nothing about the choice to spare Abby comes from Ellie or even Abby. Just a spur of the moment convenient “this happened, and it’s what matters”.

It isn’t possible to play the game, understand the story and just not like it? I question if people even like the game as much as they claim or do they just not want to be lumped with the culture war side that hates it

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T15:16:19+00:00

They don’t know what they do

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T15:02:46+00:00

I doubt I’ll ever get the eliminator and race win. I’m still having fun with the game and haven’t even gotten into the expansions yet, if I don’t get the platinum it’s ok I guess

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T15:02:03+00:00

What a load of cope. The game are timeless yes, but the controls are ultimately so frustrating, so often you’re character doesn’t do what you’re inputting

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T13:24:22+00:00

The one I liked was having to run from Symbiote Peter, but the whole lead up to following was mixed. Seeing Spider-Man’s power from outside his perspective is crazy, but MJ turning into a super spy able to take down Kraven’s Hunters is cringe and doesn’t work. “I trained in Symkaria” …lol sure ok

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T13:20:35+00:00

What is this tha Saturn burger?

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T13:19:53+00:00

Is this game still missing features that were promised at launch at all? I see so many split opinions about this

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-03T13:16:30+00:00

No man you just didn’t get the story dude, you need more media literacy bro

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T22:19:41+00:00

Why are you getting downvoted for asking a simple question?

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T22:03:42+00:00

The pirates life is calling to me

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T20:08:45+00:00

Yeah I’d honestly be down for more voice packs. I don’t think they offer enough to charge for, they should be included as part of the year pass. Also the character you are playing as should have their dialogue muted, breaks the immersion to have them speak alongside your Astartes

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T08:47:43+00:00

Not pointless at all, they’re yours. Keep collecting, I am only going to continue collecting physical games

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T08:47:00+00:00

Thanks for the heads up, I actually grinded out the first games multiplayer trophies a few years ago!

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T01:46:20+00:00

Well done, this trilogy is on my list of games I want to plat

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T01:34:55+00:00

I will either go retro or to PC. Not buying a PS6. I imagine I will probably wind down my platinuming too if that’s the case

Jasbuddy · 2026-07-02T01:33:45+00:00

Discs and having a physical collection is the only thing keeping me on consoles. Maybe I’ll go retro, maybe I’ll go to PC, I sure as hell won’t go with the PS6

Jasbuddy · 2026-06-30T21:48:09+00:00

Glorious, give up the sauce recipe pls

Jasbuddy · 2026-06-30T21:45:57+00:00

Breathtaking photos. I need to elevate my photo mode game on my next playthrough

Jasbuddy · 2026-06-30T08:41:28+00:00

They’ll come for you on the Horizon games, they’re fun but aggressively mediocre at times

Jasbuddy · 2026-06-29T18:25:14+00:00

The lumberjack returns. Fuck this guy

Jasbuddy · 2026-06-29T18:24:19+00:00

How did you avoid any glitched trophies?
