| 1 | * BestKnownForTheFanservice: The only reason ''Rings of Power'' is remembered is because of its infamous nude title screen cheat code. |

| 3 | ** There is a huge rift between Naughty Dog fans who prefer their more family-friendly, stylized, brighter-toned series like ''VideoGame/CrashBandicoot'' and ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' versus those who like their darker, realistic, human-centric stuff like ''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'' and ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs''. Then there's the middle ground, who likes all of their games regardless, feeling that they all have their own brand of quality. The fact that Naughty Dog has [[TomHanksSyndrome essentially abandoned the former in favor of completely embracing the latter]] does not help. |
| 4 | ** There's another rift forming regarding how Naughty Dog didn't introduce a new IP for the Platform/PlayStation4 era, instead choosing to primarily make sequels to [[VideoGame/Uncharted4AThiefsEnd their]] Platform/PlayStation3 [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUsPartII titles]]. Some don't mind it, liking that their favorite franchises are getting continuations. Others, however, find it to be a sign of creative bankruptcy and a waste of talent that could be used to craft new experiences. |
| 5 | * FriendlyFandoms: With Creator/InsomniacGames, especially since the developers themselves have been good friends. Even at the absolute worst, any kind of FandomRivalry is of the friendly sort. |
| 6 | * OlderThanTheyThink: A common criticism from older fans regarding current Naughty Dog is how they've gone from doing bright and stylized games to doing darker, more mature, realistic titles beginning with the Platform/PlayStation3. However, some of Naughty Dog's earlier titles before the Platform/{{PlayStation}}, such as ''VideoGame/WayOfTheWarrior'' and ''Rings of Power'', were also rather dark, realistic looking, and/or mature. |
| 7 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Many older fans who grew up with their output in the [=PS1=] and [=PS2=] days tend to lament the studio's shift from family-friendly, stylized games to more mature, realistic games beginning with the MediaNotes/TheSeventhGenerationOfConsoleVideoGames. |
