There's A LOT of interesting details in this game. I never even knew about some of these until recording this video! Hope you all enjoyed it, more TLOU 2 coming soon! Episode 2: ruclips.net/video/LoGlsIUroQ8/видео.html
@@finn8261 Good question! Not entirely sure but I don't think her skin turns bright red anywhere else except that exact spot. I guess ND didn't really decide to allow other areas to become bright red when burnt.
@@Speclizer great video and there are two tears almost hugging each other that would be Joel and Sarah, Ellie in the middle tommy at the bottom Maybe Ellie at the bottom to symbolise how far they have disconnected from eachother
This game is literally burnt into my soul. I will never forget that week I spent playing it. It is absolutely incredible, but the sad thing is i can’t bring myself round to playing it through a second time, just because of the emotional toll it takes on me and just how loaded the story is. Even hearing the music just reminds me of how I felt while playing it, and while I cherish that experience, I’m just not sure I could go through it all again.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Such great gameplay and Ellie’s story was great, but the emotional toll the game takes on you made me not want to replay it either 😪 such a shame
I played this game so much. Completed 6-7 times. Still going for replay. Dude just skip cutscenes and replay it. This game is masterpiece in terms of gameplay.
i realized once she called him ''old timer'' in my first playthrough. Such a good boy. And also if you listen carefully, Gustavo plays the same song Joel plays in the last cutscene but at a lower tempo ;) Nice subtle detail.
Ellie wearing converse shoes is mentioned by dina during the patrol, and is even used as a fakeout late in the game: When it first cuts to Lev and Abby in santa barbra, it pans up showing lev wearing converse shoes to make you think its ellie.
It always made me wonder why would they wear Converse if their life required that much walking..? I like sneakers, but walking in them for any longer than two hours makes my knees and ankles hurt - no padding whatsoever. It would make sense to wear hiking boots, I'm sure there were loads of them left in sportswear shops after the apocalypse.
@@Siarawaszympanemjest as a person who is allways wearing converse shoes, i don't understand i can do sports on converse and walk for as many hours i need, no problem
@@ToycarVRUM...which doesn't change the fact that sneakers are more style than substance. Don't get me wrong, I like All-Stars, got three pairs, but, let's say, just because some runners decided to compete barefoot in the olympics, doesn't mean that running barefoot works in general.
Another thing that I noticed... Abby suffers from a condition called vertigo. Whenever she is on the edge of a really high platform and looks down, you can see the ground below move away from you and her breathing gets shallow.
It‘s just a fucking Masterpiece. i can‘t understand how people just play it quickly trough and then never touch it again. A least making the Platinium Trophy.
@@AchtNullAcht808 lol ppl who hate the game r either homophobic, transphobic or simply have the maturity level of a 14year old boy, n basically cried over the fact that she didnt end it at the end
this game still makes me so sad, seriously one of the most amazing stories ive ever played through. nothing but love for these games, i hope we get another
The story was pretty bad honestly. Not just the joel part because everyone thought he was going to die anyway. It drags at certain points and jumps around alot so the pacing is fucked. It literally has a flashback within a flashback at a certain point and it seems if they had just moved certain moments around they would've had more weight/made more logical sense. Like if joels death came at the halfway point and you played as ellie instead it could have been amazing, playing as abby for the last half was a really bad design choice.
I've never played a game that touched me as much as The Last Of US 1 and 2. I cried so much. It's about loss, about the inability to grieve, about revenge and the realization that revenge is a vicious cycle. This realization leads to the ability to grieve and finally letting go. It's also about people being able to grow, but that's always accompanied by pain. TLOFU1&2 really is a masterpiece.
Those wind chimes could be what Joel brought from his old house after the infection broke out, and after Joel died, Ellie took it from his house and put it up as a reminder of him, maybe it was something that belonged to Sarah.
They each look a little different though, so either like the photo of him & Sarah they made some changes to it, or they’re actually different wind chimes altogether.
Dude if that’s the case that’s incredible.. Really don’t get how people hate this game and turned their backs on it so fast. Shit was amazing and imo deserves EVERY AWARD it got including GOTY.
Look, if I am being honest, yeah the game was amazing and the story really hit hard but it's not without its flaws, to which there are unfortunately very many that other people don't see. There were many things in the story that either didn't make sense or was just untrue to the message of the first game. I am not going to list all of them, but I just ask people to consider all those problems, and think to themselves, if these changes were necessary. Don't resent the people who hate the game, but try to see where they are coming from. I personally was dissapointed that Neil Druckmann made the call to lie to us in most of the trailers for the game, about Joel being a playable character and that we could experience the dynamic duo again. So bare in mind, yes the game got a lot of rewards, but did it actually deserve every single one?
Yeah it is sad. It's honestly one of my favorite games in recent years. I think it had the unfortunate circumstance of coming out at a time when the whole world was going to shit. Dropping a deeply depressive, introspective, dark game at a time when everyone was all ready trying to cope with the pandemic, the economic issues, etc. etc. it just poured salt into a collective open wound. I'm almost willing to bet that this will be one of those titles that people will begin to appreciate over time. I remember when MGS2 came out on ps2 and everyone absolutely trashing it because of the Snake/Raiden switch-up. But now everyone treats that game like the classic that it is.
What about when Ellie comes back from Santa Barbra. You don’t see the switchblade which was the last thing she had to remember her mother. Abby smacked it out of her hand and it fell into the water.
@@ankurbhaskar4634 I feel like Dina moved back to Jackson after Ellie left. Ellie had it in Santa Barbra and that was the last place we seen it. I just hope she didn’t lose it.
@@dream_er4138 Oh i know she's in Jackson. In Santa Barbara Ellie didn't had Dina's Bracelet. Then in the Epilouge she did. Also she looks patched up. Looked like that was weeks ago plus no guns on her. Meaning that the Ending is a time skip and Ellie came to see her house one last time before moving to Jackson. OR she left but not to Jackson.
It’s because the story, it’s a revenge mission that says revenge is bad despite the whole point on ellie going on the revenge mission is because abby had a successful revenge mission
Because Joel had a pointless death, Abby is a hypocrite who we are just supposed to love even though she killed off one of our main characters, and Ellie never kills her in the end after literally everything she went through to track her down
@@toastedtoastontoast Ellie and Joel are/were hypocrites too and most the enemy kills in the game can be avoided so his death is no less pointless than any other enemy.
@@flowerpower003 as someone who finished a full run through of TLOU only a few hours ago, I want to remind you that literally all enemies in TLOU attack you if they notice you, regardless of if you’re trying to be violent or not. You can only do so much sneaking, because inevitably you will be located and shot or mauled to death. It’s not fair to say that Joel and Ellie chose violence. In case you forgot, the surgeon at the end of TLOU threatens to kill Joel with the scalpel, even if Joel is just trying to grab Ellie and nothing else. Ellie may be immune but there’s no 100% guarantee that a vaccine could be made from her, and if the vaccine had failed, Ellie would have died for nothing. The virus is global and yet the Fireflies are a scattered few, and only in the States. How could one girls brain cells save a whole planet? The cherry on top is that the surgeon dies no matter what you do, trust me I tried everything. And his death is a quick one, whereas Abby brutally tortured Joel.
@@flowerpower003 That's what you missed. Abby's revenge mission didn't succeed at all. She lost everything because she couldn't let go. Killing Joel didn't bring back her dad and it didn't even make her happy. She felt guilt over it and lost all of her friends because of it. Ellie suffered the same fate, lost Dina, lost Jessy, Tonmmy is hadicapped and even her ability to even play the guitar properly which was very important to her.
Anyone else notice how the ending themes of both games are similar, but the theme of the second sounds like it's Ellie trying to play the theme of the first with her missing fingers?
So basically they redid the photo of Joel and Sarah, because there are too many little changes to think they just copy-pasted it. Quite interesting. Another incredible detail: if you pay close attention to Abby's body, you can notice her arms' muscles moving and deforming with certain actions.
Not only her muscles works like they're intended to (it is an amazing detail), but as time passed (I mean years, not during the main timeline) she is getting more and more muscular. That's why I don't understand the "logic" of people saying she is a transvestite or transgender. She is clearly a female who trains hard. The game even shows more than once that she does heavy weight training.
@@bodiattila1984 people in general, specially in the internet, love to hate on everything, so that should not be a suprise for anyone. And yes, Abby gets more muscular since her arrival to Seattle to the 3 main days in the game, and it is clearly hinted at by the game that she trains hard in Seattle. You can also notice she has lost weight when you play as her in Santa Barbara, and more noticeably, when you encounter her as Ellie there.
Regardless i think it is intentional maybe she once did it and druckman said how about you do this in that part of the game since ellie losses her finger sin the end of part 2 and this is in the end of part 1 and guitar was mentioned in part 1 so i think he had that idea already and went along with it
@@oisinkelly7189 you are a hster probably don't even have a PS4 almost all the fake review that said the game sucked were people who have Xbox and are jealous of PlayStation exclusive gamed Last of Us is the best game ever and the Last of us 2 is a great game
@@oisinkelly7189 I truely do think it is I have absolutely no idea why it got so much backlash and I don’t really care to find out, this game for me was absolutely amazing.
Nice vid. I'd say the Converse one is pretty well known--ND even uses it to fake you out a bit in Santa Barbara, when they cut to a shot of the shoes of whom you might assume to be Ellie only to boom up and reveal it's Lev :) One detail I found the other day was that, if an enemy is reloading a revolver when you melee-kill them, the loose gun in the air will still have the chamber open.
@@RM-xw2xg Why would you guess that? Killing an important, main, or lovable character doesn't mean the story is bad (take game of thrones or Attack on titan as an example) You focused on Joel, but What about how abby's contradicted actions that prevent you from understanding her values or standards, ABBY the character that you spend half of the game playing as her.... Ellie kill Owen and mel, Abby rage, she go to get revenge, she get to ellie, she doesn't revenge.... Ellie is living peaceful life now, but suddenly she decide she want to revenge, she get to abby, she doesn't revenge... I get the message, revenge is bad, but what about all the people abby and ellie killed? Their deaths had no weight on the story, even when they were present, they didn't do shit. It's your opinion weather you liked the game or not but you can't deny facts, The fact that the writers messed up, The fact that all the characters are vague and you can't attach to them because you know they gonna die, even Isaac the character that you'd hear and read his name everywhere, die right after he show up.... Random events that you don't care about (the attack on the island for example) Other than that, it's a technical achievement and a treatment for the eye
Anyone notice the extra redness of Abby’s ears, nose, and lips when first playing her as she slides through the narrow crack in the mountain before pushing the frozen dead body out of the way. Also, how big her eyes get when she’s close to a high ledge and her breath quickens along with her clinching her fists (because she hates heights). Brilliant masterpiece of a game! The details are the best I’ve seen. Playing through a second time. Hoping I can keep my emotions in better check this go around. Lol
Man I love this game. I finished it twice and got platinum trophy on it. I learned at least 5 songs on the guitar from the game and I’m currently learning unbroken
That's amazing how Naughty Dog made use of the TouchPad. Have to be one of the more unique uses for it other than a big menu or map button lol. I also beat it twice and Platinumed it and trust me when I say I am no trophy hunter. I usually beat the game and move on but this game has it's hooks in me. I can't believe there are ppl who never played this game but wanna be critical because they watched it on RUclips. Sidenote, that's awesome how you were able to learn to play the touchpad gee-tar 😆😂🤣🎸🎶
@@synisterv7703 oh not that monstrosity of touchpad gee-tar. I mean in real life, I have a guitar in my room. I'm also not a huge trophy hunter. I maybe have like 6 platinums in over 6 years of gaming
@@NarutoUzumaki-hj2hb That's why this world is full of amazing people but at the same time even filled with more ignorant people but I choose to celebrate those with amazing talents to share 😁👍🍻
0:43, 5:33 I knew these details, btw. I have one detail, when Ellie is in shock, after she killed Mel, in that Tommy runs up and calls: Ellie, Ellie and in this moment can hear Joel voice about one sec. I love details in videogames. Naughty Dog and Rockstargames are perfect game writters and they can make masterpieces.♥️ Both my favourites studios.
I also heard Joel's voice. That's why it confused me. I was like "That's Joel. But he's dead" also btw i thought that he was still alive apparently and they didn't buried his body. Never trust the Trailers.
Now we only have to hope that they can stop the crunch to make these kind of games. Pretty sure it's not possible without making the team far bigger, well I'll just enjoy the games and try to forget that people who made it didn't have the best work conditions.
Here’s an interesting coincidence: The song Joel sings to Ellie, “Future Days” by Pearl Jam is a famous example of “Seattle Grunge” as Eddie Vedder is from Seattle.
Ellies last word in the first game and abbys last word in part too is “okay” (Technically the end of part 2’s storry cuz of the flashback so its the final in both games, still kinda cool)
Ellie losing her fingers is so extremely tragic and heartbreaking to me. I understand the game makers were seeking to send a message about the cycle of vengeance but still… the person who took Joel from her also literally severed with her MOUTH the last tie she had to him. And THAT was the moment Ellie realized killing her was pointless because it wouldn’t bring him back. This game is just brutal on your psyche from the opening of the first installment to the closing of the last.
When you start off as Sarah(Joel’s daughter) in the first last of us, she walks around the house and finds the birthday card she gave to Joel. The card has a dinosaur on it. It reminded me of the time Joel took Ellie to the museum for her birthday. Then there’s also the part where Joel and Ellie are in that fancy hotel. Joel gets close to the coffee machine and comments how much he misses coffee. Then in the 2nd game Ellie finds him sipping on some coffee & he tells Ellie he wasn’t proud of what he had to trade to get some coffee. When they’re in the vicinity of the university, Ellie randomly mentions how she would’ve loved to have been an astronaut. She then asks Joel what he wanted to be as a kid and he says he wanted to be a singer. She proceeds to ask Joel to sing & says “I won’t laugh.” He simply says no. He finally sings for her in the 2nd game & also makes her dream of being an astronaut possible for her birthday. Later on in the university, Joel falls on a metal pole when trying to fight off an enemy. Both him and Ellie are trying to escape the university while Joel bleeds to death. While Ellie is helping him walk she says “I swear to God, if I get you out of this you’re so singing for me.” Joel responds “you wish.”
Idk if this was covered up already but if u go to the bar back in Jackson to meet Maria after the conversation everyone is looking to Ellie if she passes by. It was because of the fight with Seth the night before on that party.
@@noquemacuhh1967 Pretty harsh to assume that when you have no idea what a hidden detail is. Foreshadowing shows an indication of a future event without specifically SHOWING that event.
For me, Joel was also my father figure because my dad played it all the time when I was younger and I always watched him play TLOU 1 and still a year ago we got TLOU 2 and I watched him play it too. Last year I got to play both of the games, brought back a lot of memories.
Here's something a lot of people dont know. You can walk pass them Wind Chimes and Ellie will reach out and smack them to make noise. That blew my mind when I found that out. I found myself doing it over and over for like 30 mins straight hahaha.
Every time I hear the sound of Ellie's guitar or the banjo, I get goose bumps ... the memories of the game are so locked in my heart that I always remember the conversation at the end of the game, where Ellie and Joel gave her ( LUCKY) have a little reconciliation conversation 😍
damn, how did you notice the finger thingy? what a masterpiece this game is, i thought i knew everything about it already but i guess theres always more. thanks for this video
idk how many people know this; i haven't seen anyone do this during their gameplay, but during the flashback part of the second game on ellie's birthday at the museum, you can actually climb up the dinosaur that joel surprised ellie with, and then you can jump off of it into the water :))
Fun fact, the reason ellies fingers get bit of so easily is because in real life it's as hard as bitting a carrot. If you tried do do it to your own finger your body won't let you
A note about Ellie holding her fingers: I actually noticed that that is actually something that the actress (Ashley Johnson) sometimes does as a nervous tick. I wonder if the director noticed this and decided to utilize it within the story.
03:49 The Space Needle on Seraphite Island(In game is called Brianbridge Island, west of mainland Seattle) is placed in that location solely for Abby’s dialogue with Yara. 04:21 That is called the Space Tower. It exists in the location the Space Needle should be. You can see the swap in Dina’s WLF tracking map in the theater.
I love how they added some little things to the game that we didnt even care, like raindrops on a camera, glass in a skin. Fucking love this masterpiece. Keep it up!
Another interesting thing is that In Joel's House he was making guitars and carving stuff which is interesting because he was a carpenter before the start of the apocalypse
About the clock @3:33 - analog clock in last scene in a farm house - it not only works, but it's also synced to real local time. Amazing attention to details.
I don’t think they will. They’re against them. Druckman said that there’s no sense of urgency in Open World games. He’s right. You can CHOOSE to do a story mission, or, do six side missions BEFORE continuing the story in all these open world games. Besides, Naughty Dog DID put mini open world maps in both The Last of Us 2 and Uncharted Lost Legacy. That’s kinda plenty
@@franktodarello538 there’s no urgency in this game either, I’m supposed to go run and do this but I still meander about and loot every single room I can
The second one is even more interesting because Ellie’a trait of holding her left ring finger when she’s anxious was inspired by her voice actor having the same habit
I’m so confused at that part because Ellie had her fingers when she was sitting in the water crying, but they’re gone when she reaches the farmhouse. Where did they go?
@@ericjones4548 Infection and had to be amputated, probably. The human mouth is filthy and if someone *really* chomps down on you, more often than not it's going to get infected.
game truly and always will hold a special place in my heart, i’ve known about this game for years now and always played last of us multiplayer. i love this game until the day i die, naughty dog did an absolute amazing job with this game but unfortunately i never truly finished tlou 2, i watched my brother play it but i still genuinely enjoyed the game. i cried so hard when i saw joel die, thank u for this masterpiece naughty dog
Also when Ellie touches her fingers and Joel talks about his struggle with surviving you can see him touch his watch, remembering sarah and how he was suicidal at one time
Also the og song 'It was a good day' by Ice cube playing when Ellie was travelling through the ducts to find Nora. This game is one of the best game of the decade.
IRL, it's in the middle of Seattle, between all the tall buildings. In the game, they made it to be on the Island off-shore. Though weirdly it is used in the middle of Seattle in certain scenes, and yet later appears on an island visually mere meters away, while the island is really far from the shore.
“The wounds of conscience always leave a scar.” P. Syrus So how much of a conscientious act is it to go forward? Choosing to rest your conscience will only bring more unrest and destruction. It is more correct and more beneficial to try to forget and try to prevent the loss of conscience-blood rather than revenge... Unscrupulousness is one of the important factors that increase grudge and hatred. Injustice and unscrupulousness have a great role in the separation, polarization and deterioration of the ties of society. I continue with Victor Hugo. Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just. The most perfect just is conscience.. whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster, if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche is a reminder to measure yourself and be aware of your own thoughts. In other words, you should always criticize yourself when you enter into a "questioning war" because your life and your own feelings always have plans for you. And the "narrative" of "The Last Of Us Part II" handles this with great mastery. In addition, The Last Of Us Part II's script is deep, philosophical, dark, emotional and thought-provoking. A masterpiece that has taken the industry so far and set a new bar. Again, I will continue with a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche: “When we are questioned on an unprepared subject, the first thought that comes to our mind is often not our own thought. But it is just a commonplace thought that belongs to our class, position, and ancestry. Self-thoughts rarely surface.” Time, patience and thinking skills are required for high-level, powerful and philosophical “things” that are actually difficult to understand, difficult to notice. In order to find the real and the essence... The Last Of Us Part II meaning of life, moral relativism, philosophy of empathy, self-criticism, definition of the concept of human, narrative art, creating a post-apocalyptic universe (dystopia) and blending its philosophy with the people it creates in the post-apocalyptic universe, the meaning of respect, thinking A masterpiece on meaning and emotion transfer. The Last Of Us Part II is the ultimate masterpiece of the eighth generation. And these concepts require “extremely hard thinking”. Let me end with a final Nietzsche quote: “The life of the enemy. Whoever lives for the sake of combating an enemy has an interest in the enemy's staying alive.” Because maybe that person or that thing is not an enemy. It is only the key that will unlock your own conscience and your own feelings... We cannot talk about good and evil directly, they are related and relative concepts. Formulating that existing evil was or was not done by a God does not prevent evil from existing. Evil can be tolerated, guided by the will to live. This endurance will be through art, morality and love. Albert Camus attributes his rejection of God to the existence of evil and its abundant and violent experience by humans. According to him, the question we should ask is: Is there evil in this world? Evil, if any, is incompatible with the idea of God. In a divine order, in a world created and ruled by God, the existence of evil is inconceivable. For example, death is an evil and evil inflicts punishment on us. However, “the one who is right is the one who never kills”. This means that he cannot be God. “Either we are not free, and the almighty God is responsible for evil; or we are free and responsible but God is not omnipotent. According to philosophers, evil harms the bond between people and the state of being human. In my opinion, kindness builds bridges between people, develops bonds and contributes to being human. Kindness is a joy that includes honor, not arrogance. So the fools and the dead are people who do not feel their conscience, do not understand themselves and become numb with this meaninglessness, this is not true peace, Good people are actually people who have attained peace of mind and prosperity. Their difficult but constructive and strong-willed behaviors show that they trust their own worth and justice. Because the "thing" that is better than being good is conscientious justice, and this is what real goodness and real good person are. That’s why The Last Of Us Part II is the most unique masterpiece...
The Last Of Us Part II was loved, appreciated and seen as a unique masterpiece by so many people... The Last Of Us Part II won the game of the year at the PlayStation Awards, with maybe 3 million more “user votes”! The Last Of Us Part II received 196 official critic awards, 65 official user vote awards, and a total of 261 official awards at the award ceremonies! It was the piece that won the most game of the year awards in history. So The Last Of Us Part II is GOAT!! Also, The Last Of Us Part II has extremely excellent and unique gameplay... The Last Of Us Part II is the best masterpiece in animation, level design, artificial intelligence design, melee, firearm use, particle designs, atmosphere design and game development... The Last Of Us Part II’s AI really does feel like a human, and it randomly and “naturally” wanders and explores every area it is in. They inspect everywhere: all the voids that can be penetrated, nooks and crannies, underwater, grass, inside the buildings, the whole environment... Their reactions differ according to the interactions in the environment, and the communication and interaction of the enemies with each other is also great! Npc dialogues = When an npc human or an npc dog dies, other npc people lament for dead npc human or dead npc dog, shout with anger, go crazy, swear to take revenge on the person who killed their loved one and are filled with negative emotions. That's why npc people act like real people and make them feel like real people... Looking at the post-apocalyptic dystopia design and the notes in this world, it is clear that there is always someone taking revenge on someone, always full of negative emotions... This is a personal, deep, psychological and special journey... The Last Of Us Part II turns its own post-apocalyptic universe into a powerful dystopia. It doesn't just tell a story. It processes the people in a mind-blowing way and places them in a dystopian universe with an enormous fiction. It connects the characters in it to the dystopian universe that it has created in relation to each other with thematic and emotional bonds. It explains in a magnificent way why this universe exists, the people in it, what is going on in this universe. Especially The Last Of Us Part II does this very well... And there is no other work in the industry that can do this with narrative techniques. The Last Of Us Part II is a work that has perspectives on the philosophy of utilitarianism, secular humanism, the meta-ethical branch of ethical philosophy, political philosophy at certain points (describing state destruction and criticizing the essence of the state, paralleling some of the thoughts of Thomas Hobbes) and moral relativism. The Last Of Us Part II deals with Thomas Hobbes' understanding of "homo homoni lupus" or "man is a wolf to man" very well... It also has a structure that tells the story of statism and the state order. Because the state is the only official authority that provides real justice. The state is a structure that puts people in order, rises above moral relativism and establishes a fundamental system of criticism and judgment in a smart and correct manner, which no one can object to. As in the novel 1984, the state can use this power for manipulation... And if the state collapses, the only law is the laws of nature, the strong one (he/she) provides his/her own subjective justice and the ethics of this is debatable, because since man is a thinking being, the strong one (he/she) will use tolerance and weakness to provide his/her own ideology and his/her own justice. Philosopher Karl Popper also says this. Here people live with the survival instinct inherited from our ancestors in the destroyed order because the laws of nature are cruel and this survival instinct is really at its peak. Under normal circumstances (today's order), a good, angelic person can be an angel with bloody hands and a broken wing in this universe (the post-apocalyptic dystopia of The Last Of Us)... This universe shows how different people can be in different orders, people can practice behaviors that seem distant from them but can be close at the same time... So people are neither black nor white, they are gray, they are angels with bloody hands... This is a tremendous dystopian post-apocalyptic universe. It is the design and expression of the apocalyptic universe... A different dystopian narrative, presenting different and original perspectives, presenting good and evil and all opposite concepts in gray without distinction makes The Last Of Us Part II a great "masterpiece" on the subject of "narrative". ... You definitely should read Paul Bloom's book Against Empathy! Empathy is a relative concept, and if someone doesn't understand the philosophy of empathy, that person shouldn't talk about it. The Last Of Us Part II is easy on empathy, so The Last Of Us Part II doesn't force empathy. This is already impossible... Empathy is unique to the person. The Last Of Us Part II deals with the concept of empathy very well... And The Last Of Us Part II cares about the main characters and the side characters around the main characters and handles them really well... So The Last Of Us Part II has extremely well-written characters. Other side characters serve meaningful and deep points in the story. You feel like they all have a purpose in the "narrative" of The Last Of Us Part II... The Last Of Us Part II characters render very well in gray tones and embed the concept of moral relativism very well into the characters... Every character (especially the main characters) is like a real person. The feelings and thoughts of the characters are presented in a realistic way and the character is definitely catchy and impressive, as each one feels like they are real-world people. Abby has been tortured by rattlers and has lost her majesty and become pathetic. Abby barely has the strength to stay afloat. Ellie unravels it, but they are stunned because now Abby has been tortured worse than death. Then blood gets involved, Ellie's own blood from PTSD reminds her of "Joel's death" and then she can't let Abby go and they fight. Later, the breaking of Ellie's fingers symbolizes guitar, the blood spilling into the water symbolizes Joel, life and human and Ellie's torture by strangling the defenseless and exhausted Abby symbolizes Joel's death. And an epiphany (Go to search) ensues. Later, she remembers a very meaningful "memory" she had with Joel, and this memory begins with Joel playing the guitar. This memory is the “moment” when she decides to forgive Joel, and this moment is the memory of the conscientious relief that comes from forgiving despite everything that has happened, the effort to start a new life with a clean slate despite everything that happens. In this way, she chooses to get rid of his feelings by "hesitating". Ellie wasn't there for revenge anyway, she was actually there to bring herself closer to Joel. Ellie went to find Abby to make up for her inability to save Joel. She had long since given up on revenge, she. Months had passed and Ellie had completely changed... As she said in the farm scenes... Ellie had not fully forgiven Joel. That's why Ellie was so angry with Abby. Ellie was angry with Abby for taking away her chance to forgive Joel. Ellie was so angry at Abby for killing Joel while they were on a bad break. And Ellie went to find Abby to fully forgive Joel. Ellie was there to make up for her inability to save Joel. In fact, Ellie was mostly angry with herself because she thought she had betrayed Joel. Ellie fought with Abby because she was so angry with herself and therefore to suppress the feeling of regret on herself, and for the reasons I explained in the finale, she realized that forgiveness is actually the medicine for revenge and anger... The relationship between Abby and Lev is very deep... Abby would not have been with Owen without Yara and Lev. Although Abby has fulfilled her desire for revenge, she still carries a guilt that makes her feel heavy, unhappy and depressed. Abby sees Yara's arm being smashed by the Seraphites, coldly and unhesitatingly, being struck again and again with the hammer. Later, he is saved from drowning by hanging, thanks to the direction of Yara and Lev's cutting the rope at the last moment. If Abby hadn't met Lev and Yara at that moment, she would have been dead, hanged and pierced. Lev and Yara are still children. And Yara needs protection and treatment. Abby helped Yara move forward, carrying Yara in her arms. Abby carried Yara in her arms for a long time. Because Abby wanted to help those two kids. When Abby left them and went to Owen, she looked from Owen's point of view, so she realized that things fought for were not always what they seemed. Even after Abby had been with Owen (because sex is a real heartfelt emotion and it does dominate), she was still overwhelmed by the pangs of conscience. And Abby saw the two kids she wanted to help and later abandoned, died by hanging in her nightmare. And Abby was holding his neck when he woke up in a sweat. Because Abby had never been hanged before, and if it weren't for Yara and Lev, Abby would've been standing outside forever hanging and disemboweled, not next to Owen. And Abby still owed those two kids the favor. And Abby listened to the voice of conscience... Because Abby had caused such devastating events that she was trying to prove to herself that she had a good feeling somewhere inside and that she was a good person. That's why Abby couldn't forget Yara and Lev as she tried to prove she was a good person, choosing to listen to her conscience and thus truly help them. And it was indeed a great finale. There is also a biblical reference. In the Bible, water symbolizes new life, rebirth, and purification from sins. The Last Of Us Part II is truly an "emotional roller coaster" masterpiece...
4:45 I'm not sure, but she mentions to Abby that Hotline Miami is a tought game (and has great tunes). And when you see her Vita as Ellie, she actually remains in the same level that she was when we interact with her as Abby.
Another reference: in the photo Joel's daughter is swearing an argentinian football shirt and doing the V de la Victoria Peronista. Maybe she didn't die, just came to this beautiful country with permanent inflation.
There's A LOT of interesting details in this game. I never even knew about some of these until recording this video! Hope you all enjoyed it, more TLOU 2 coming soon!
Episode 2: ruclips.net/video/LoGlsIUroQ8/видео.html
Just wondering why she gets a red arm in that one spot?
@@finn8261 Good question! Not entirely sure but I don't think her skin turns bright red anywhere else except that exact spot. I guess ND didn't really decide to allow other areas to become bright red when burnt.
Me too. I am in love with Tlou2!
Maybe the 4 tears represent herself, Joel, Sarah And Tommy Im probs reading into this a lot
@@Speclizer great video and there are two tears almost hugging each other that would be Joel and Sarah, Ellie in the middle tommy at the bottom
Maybe Ellie at the bottom to symbolise how far they have disconnected from eachother

@Nina chan thanks, I was just about to go search for it
This game is literally burnt into my soul. I will never forget that week I spent playing it. It is absolutely incredible, but the sad thing is i can’t bring myself round to playing it through a second time, just because of the emotional toll it takes on me and just how loaded the story is. Even hearing the music just reminds me of how I felt while playing it, and while I cherish that experience, I’m just not sure I could go through it all again.
Trying to get through the game on a much more difficult level. I wish i could experience it for the first time again. Absolutely brilliant game.
Same
Took the words right out of my mouth. Such great gameplay and Ellie’s story was great, but the emotional toll the game takes on you made me not want to replay it either 😪 such a shame
You are so right man so right
I played this game so much.
Completed 6-7 times. Still going for replay.
Dude just skip cutscenes and replay it.
This game is masterpiece in terms of gameplay.
3:00 no one ever mentions how that is the “guard dog” Buckley from the first game! Tommy introduces you to him as he shows Joel around Jackson
i realized once she called him ''old timer'' in my first playthrough. Such a good boy. And also if you listen carefully, Gustavo plays the same song Joel plays in the last cutscene but at a lower tempo ;) Nice subtle detail.

Personal favorite is Dina holding hand over stomach then removing it when Ellie turns towards her (to hide sign of her condition).
And hiding the fact that she is pregnant.
@@symounmiguelbago7265 that was the condition I was referring to. Didn't want to spoil it for those who hadn't yet played the game.
@@donaldfrederick501 Who would watch this video if they haven't even completed the first few hours of the game
@@EonServoXA curious people...
I got the story line from solely watching RUclips. Never played the game
Ellie wearing converse shoes is mentioned by dina during the patrol, and is even used as a fakeout late in the game: When it first cuts to Lev and Abby in santa barbra, it pans up showing lev wearing converse shoes to make you think its ellie.
It always made me wonder why would they wear Converse if their life required that much walking..? I like sneakers, but walking in them for any longer than two hours makes my knees and ankles hurt - no padding whatsoever. It would make sense to wear hiking boots, I'm sure there were loads of them left in sportswear shops after the apocalypse.
@@Siarawaszympanemjest as a person who is allways wearing converse shoes, i don't understand i can do sports on converse and walk for as many hours i need, no problem
@@ToycarVRUM...which doesn't change the fact that sneakers are more style than substance. Don't get me wrong, I like All-Stars, got three pairs, but, let's say, just because some runners decided to compete barefoot in the olympics, doesn't mean that running barefoot works in general.
The Last Of Us 2 FAIL,
ruclips.net/video/5EP9Cj4JPqE/видео.html
Another thing that I noticed... Abby suffers from a condition called vertigo. Whenever she is on the edge of a really high platform and looks down, you can see the ground below move away from you and her breathing gets shallow.
And her eyes grow very big like 👀 nope nope nope
I’ll never forget this game.

@@blahhh6468 People who dont like this Game are stupid
this game still makes me so sad, seriously one of the most amazing stories ive ever played through. nothing but love for these games, i hope we get another
Many ppl will disagree with you
So the story clearly wasnt that great
The story was pretty bad honestly. Not just the joel part because everyone thought he was going to die anyway. It drags at certain points and jumps around alot so the pacing is fucked. It literally has a flashback within a flashback at a certain point and it seems if they had just moved certain moments around they would've had more weight/made more logical sense. Like if joels death came at the halfway point and you played as ellie instead it could have been amazing, playing as abby for the last half was a really bad design choice.
@@chuck8249 I agree 100%. Well said
Story is amazing
I've never played a game that touched me as much as The Last Of US 1 and 2. I cried so much.
It's about loss, about the inability to grieve, about revenge and the realization that revenge is a vicious cycle. This realization leads to the ability to grieve and finally letting go.
It's also about people being able to grow, but that's always accompanied by pain.
TLOFU1&2 really is a masterpiece.
Those wind chimes could be what Joel brought from his old house after the infection broke out, and after Joel died, Ellie took it from his house and put it up as a reminder of him, maybe it was something that belonged to Sarah.
They each look a little different though, so either like the photo of him & Sarah they made some changes to it, or they’re actually different wind chimes altogether.
I think tommy got ist when he got back to jackson during part one
Dude if that’s the case that’s incredible..
Really don’t get how people hate this game and turned their backs on it so fast. Shit was amazing and imo deserves EVERY AWARD it got including GOTY.
@@nomad5602 cause they stupid and small minded. Simple as that
Look, if I am being honest, yeah the game was amazing and the story really hit hard but it's not without its flaws, to which there are unfortunately very many that other people don't see. There were many things in the story that either didn't make sense or was just untrue to the message of the first game. I am not going to list all of them, but I just ask people to consider all those problems, and think to themselves, if these changes were necessary. Don't resent the people who hate the game, but try to see where they are coming from. I personally was dissapointed that Neil Druckmann made the call to lie to us in most of the trailers for the game, about Joel being a playable character and that we could experience the dynamic duo again. So bare in mind, yes the game got a lot of rewards, but did it actually deserve every single one?
Feel sad for ppl couldn’t enjoy this game. This is a truly masterpiece.
Its not the game. Its the story of the game.
Yeah it is sad. It's honestly one of my favorite games in recent years. I think it had the unfortunate circumstance of coming out at a time when the whole world was going to shit. Dropping a deeply depressive, introspective, dark game at a time when everyone was all ready trying to cope with the pandemic, the economic issues, etc. etc. it just poured salt into a collective open wound. I'm almost willing to bet that this will be one of those titles that people will begin to appreciate over time. I remember when MGS2 came out on ps2 and everyone absolutely trashing it because of the Snake/Raiden switch-up. But now everyone treats that game like the classic that it is.
@Ben Doverson whats the beauty of the story? Its poorly written it could have been way better than it was
@Ben Doverson ur the one crying im not complaining im telling truth. millions of people know and agree its been a bad story.
@@Gothiclexi_X objectively you can't say it is poorly written, but you have the right to dislike it.
What about when Ellie comes back from Santa Barbra. You don’t see the switchblade which was the last thing she had to remember her mother. Abby smacked it out of her hand and it fell into the water.
It might be back in Jackson or in her bag or pocket.
that's sad :/
@@ankurbhaskar4634 I feel like Dina moved back to Jackson after Ellie left. Ellie had it in Santa Barbra and that was the last place we seen it. I just hope she didn’t lose it.
@@dream_er4138 Oh i know she's in Jackson. In Santa Barbara Ellie didn't had Dina's Bracelet. Then in the Epilouge she did. Also she looks patched up. Looked like that was weeks ago plus no guns on her. Meaning that the Ending is a time skip and Ellie came to see her house one last time before moving to Jackson. OR she left but not to Jackson.
NOOO that switchblade alone massacre half of Seattle
The creators of The Last of Us (both I and II) put so much care into their work. No wonder they're some of the best games out there
Naughty Dog is better that CDPR.
@@symounmiguelbago7265 by miles
But TLOU2 bad because lesbian
@@mannyoftheeast3318 thats the dumbest reason ive heard of dislikeing a game
@@mannyoftheeast3318 maybe you're lesbian
Still don’t know why this game got so much hate. It’s a gripping,raw,lethal story with amazing graphics gameplay and detail. A masterpiece.
It’s because the story, it’s a revenge mission that says revenge is bad despite the whole point on ellie going on the revenge mission is because abby had a successful revenge mission
Because Joel had a pointless death, Abby is a hypocrite who we are just supposed to love even though she killed off one of our main characters, and Ellie never kills her in the end after literally everything she went through to track her down
@@toastedtoastontoast Ellie and Joel are/were hypocrites too and most the enemy kills in the game can be avoided so his death is no less pointless than any other enemy.
@@flowerpower003 as someone who finished a full run through of TLOU only a few hours ago, I want to remind you that literally all enemies in TLOU attack you if they notice you, regardless of if you’re trying to be violent or not. You can only do so much sneaking, because inevitably you will be located and shot or mauled to death. It’s not fair to say that Joel and Ellie chose violence.
In case you forgot, the surgeon at the end of TLOU threatens to kill Joel with the scalpel, even if Joel is just trying to grab Ellie and nothing else.
Ellie may be immune but there’s no 100% guarantee that a vaccine could be made from her, and if the vaccine had failed, Ellie would have died for nothing. The virus is global and yet the Fireflies are a scattered few, and only in the States. How could one girls brain cells save a whole planet?
The cherry on top is that the surgeon dies no matter what you do, trust me I tried everything. And his death is a quick one, whereas Abby brutally tortured Joel.
@@flowerpower003 That's what you missed. Abby's revenge mission didn't succeed at all. She lost everything because she couldn't let go. Killing Joel didn't bring back her dad and it didn't even make her happy. She felt guilt over it and lost all of her friends because of it. Ellie suffered the same fate, lost Dina, lost Jessy, Tonmmy is hadicapped and even her ability to even play the guitar properly which was very important to her.
Anyone else notice how the ending themes of both games are similar, but the theme of the second sounds like it's Ellie trying to play the theme of the first with her missing fingers?
So basically they redid the photo of Joel and Sarah, because there are too many little changes to think they just copy-pasted it. Quite interesting.
Another incredible detail: if you pay close attention to Abby's body, you can notice her arms' muscles moving and deforming with certain actions.
Weird that no one talked about the photo. Though Sarah's face looks a bit. Old...
@@MariusBoss11458 Probably the lighting.
Not only her muscles works like they're intended to (it is an amazing detail), but as time passed (I mean years, not during the main timeline) she is getting more and more muscular.
That's why I don't understand the "logic" of people saying she is a transvestite or transgender. She is clearly a female who trains hard. The game even shows more than once that she does heavy weight training.
@@bodiattila1984 people in general, specially in the internet, love to hate on everything, so that should not be a suprise for anyone. And yes, Abby gets more muscular since her arrival to Seattle to the 3 main days in the game, and it is clearly hinted at by the game that she trains hard in Seattle. You can also notice she has lost weight when you play as her in Santa Barbara, and more noticeably, when you encounter her as Ellie there.
@@eduardoalama8505 Yes, I did noticed the weightloss. The details are just amazing!
Ellie holding her finger is actually just a nerve tic that Ashley Johnson has herself and brought into the character
Regardless i think it is intentional maybe she once did it and druckman said how about you do this in that part of the game since ellie losses her finger sin the end of part 2 and this is in the end of part 1 and guitar was mentioned in part 1 so i think he had that idea already and went along with it
Just realized there was a wolf conversation about only needing 3 fingers lmao
Same, as soon as i saw in the last farm part Ellie having 3 fingers on her left hand, that line immedietly came to my mind dude😂😂

Nice vid. I'd say the Converse one is pretty well known--ND even uses it to fake you out a bit in Santa Barbara, when they cut to a shot of the shoes of whom you might assume to be Ellie only to boom up and reveal it's Lev :)
One detail I found the other day was that, if an enemy is reloading a revolver when you melee-kill them, the loose gun in the air will still have the chamber open.
One of the best games ever. I dont understand why people hates it.
Cuz the story sucks. That's why

@ìske GT I agree, this game and the first game are definitely on my favorites list.
totally agree. the acting is incredible, the attention to detail is incredible, and idk why it gets so much hate
@@RM-xw2xg
Why would you guess that?
Killing an important, main, or lovable character doesn't mean the story is bad (take game of thrones or Attack on titan as an example)
You focused on Joel, but What about how abby's contradicted actions that prevent you from understanding her values or standards, ABBY the character that you spend half of the game playing as her....
Ellie kill Owen and mel, Abby rage, she go to get revenge, she get to ellie, she doesn't revenge....
Ellie is living peaceful life now, but suddenly she decide she want to revenge, she get to abby, she doesn't revenge...
I get the message, revenge is bad, but what about all the people abby and ellie killed? Their deaths had no weight on the story, even when they were present, they didn't do shit.
It's your opinion weather you liked the game or not but you can't deny facts,
The fact that the writers messed up,
The fact that all the characters are vague and you can't attach to them because you know they gonna die, even Isaac the character that you'd hear and read his name everywhere, die right after he show up....
Random events that you don't care about (the attack on the island for example)
Other than that, it's a technical achievement and a treatment for the eye
Anyone notice the extra redness of Abby’s ears, nose, and lips when first playing her as she slides through the narrow crack in the mountain before pushing the frozen dead body out of the way.
Also, how big her eyes get when she’s close to a high ledge and her breath quickens along with her clinching her fists (because she hates heights).
Brilliant masterpiece of a game! The details are the best I’ve seen. Playing through a second time. Hoping I can keep my emotions in better check this go around. Lol

That's amazing how Naughty Dog made use of the TouchPad. Have to be one of the more unique uses for it other than a big menu or map button lol.

Naughty Dog and Rockstargames are perfect game writters and they can make masterpieces.♥️ Both my favourites studios.
I also heard Joel's voice. That's why it confused me. I was like "That's Joel. But he's dead" also btw i thought that he was still alive apparently and they didn't buried his body. Never trust the Trailers.
Yeah! I got this
@@DIRTY.WORK-Inc I cried at that scene because it confirmed. I teared up slightly.
Now we only have to hope that they can stop the crunch to make these kind of games. Pretty sure it's not possible without making the team far bigger, well I'll just enjoy the games and try to forget that people who made it didn't have the best work conditions.
But R* has become way too greedy to continue paying attention to detail
Especially with the online mode
Wie das Video einfach abliefert. Kein Blabla, keine Top 10 oder honorable mentions, kein Ausdehnen. Einfach purer content.
The game just got even more perfect 😯
THESE DETAILS MAKE ME EMOTIONAL
Here’s an interesting coincidence: The song Joel sings to Ellie, “Future Days” by Pearl Jam is a famous example of “Seattle Grunge” as Eddie Vedder is from Seattle.
To add another: You can see the Seraphite Bridge in the skyline throughout the game.
That glass on the face & rain on camera were nice
Ellies last word in the first game and abbys last word in part too is “okay”
(Technically the end of part 2’s storry cuz of the flashback so its the final in both games, still kinda cool)
That rain on the camera angle thing was SO COOL. That blew me away.
Guys I can’t, this game is a real masterpiece 😩
Ellie losing her fingers is so extremely tragic and heartbreaking to me. I understand the game makers were seeking to send a message about the cycle of vengeance but still… the person who took Joel from her also literally severed with her MOUTH the last tie she had to him. And THAT was the moment Ellie realized killing her was pointless because it wouldn’t bring him back. This game is just brutal on your psyche from the opening of the first installment to the closing of the last.
the tear drop details got me! wow
Same I really love that
When you start off as Sarah(Joel’s daughter) in the first last of us, she walks around the house and finds the birthday card she gave to Joel. The card has a dinosaur on it. It reminded me of the time Joel took Ellie to the museum for her birthday.
Then there’s also the part where Joel and Ellie are in that fancy hotel. Joel gets close to the coffee machine and comments how much he misses coffee. Then in the 2nd game Ellie finds him sipping on some coffee & he tells Ellie he wasn’t proud of what he had to trade to get some coffee.
When they’re in the vicinity of the university, Ellie randomly mentions how she would’ve loved to have been an astronaut. She then asks Joel what he wanted to be as a kid and he says he wanted to be a singer. She proceeds to ask Joel to sing & says “I won’t laugh.” He simply says no. He finally sings for her in the 2nd game & also makes her dream of being an astronaut possible for her birthday.
Later on in the university, Joel falls on a metal pole when trying to fight off an enemy. Both him and Ellie are trying to escape the university while Joel bleeds to death. While Ellie is helping him walk she says “I swear to God, if I get you out of this you’re so singing for me.” Joel responds “you wish.”
Best game I’ve ever played, was seriously gutted when I finished it as amazing as it all was
Idk if this was covered up already but if u go to the bar back in Jackson to meet Maria after the conversation everyone is looking to Ellie if she passes by. It was because of the fight with Seth the night before on that party.
this isnt a detail, they literally tell you that lmao
@@Abdullah-qj8wb it is a detail. ND could of easily ignored that and made all the NPC just stand there staring off into space
@@noquemacuhh1967 foreshadowing an event isn’t a hidden detail or a hidden easter egg. It’s basic story telling.
@@Abdullah-qj8wb that wasn't even foreshadowing. Pretty sure you don't even know the definition of foreshadowing
@@noquemacuhh1967 Pretty harsh to assume that when you have no idea what a hidden detail is. Foreshadowing shows an indication of a future event without specifically SHOWING that event.
For me, Joel was also my father figure because my dad played it all the time when I was younger and I always watched him play TLOU 1 and still a year ago we got TLOU 2 and I watched him play it too. Last year I got to play both of the games, brought back a lot of memories.
The music is constantly giving pang of nostalgia but that world isn't one that we would like to live in.
Here's something a lot of people dont know.
You can walk pass them Wind Chimes and Ellie will reach out and smack them to make noise. That blew my mind when I found that out. I found myself doing it over and over for like 30 mins straight hahaha.
I literally just watched this whole video & the music is dope
Every time I hear the sound of Ellie's guitar or the banjo, I get goose bumps ... the memories of the game are so locked in my heart that I always remember the conversation at the end of the game, where Ellie and Joel gave her ( LUCKY) have a little reconciliation conversation 😍
damn, how did you notice the finger thingy? what a masterpiece this game is, i thought i knew everything about it already but i guess theres always more. thanks for this video
Because the finger thing isn’t a detail ....
@@Dognuhtz yes it is
idk how many people know this; i haven't seen anyone do this during their gameplay, but during the flashback part of the second game on ellie's birthday at the museum, you can actually climb up the dinosaur that joel surprised ellie with, and then you can jump off of it into the water :))
Converse shoes would never last 25 years into the Apocalypse...
PewDiePie noticed Hotline Miami, and was like “Ellie take it!” Really cool detail
seeing that ellie didnt have fingers anymore made me really sad
Fun fact, the reason ellies fingers get bit of so easily is because in real life it's as hard as bitting a carrot. If you tried do do it to your own finger your body won't let you
that's not a fun fact... its a challenge
@@HenrikHellHound 🤨
In the picture with joel and his daughter there is a nother difference. Her shirt fits a little bigger on her. You can see it at her arm
Also Joel has a tattoo on his right arm
@@nataliepitt1774 no that’s a tear on the picture
A note about Ellie holding her fingers: I actually noticed that that is actually something that the actress (Ashley Johnson) sometimes does as a nervous tick. I wonder if the director noticed this and decided to utilize it within the story.
03:49 The Space Needle on Seraphite Island(In game is called Brianbridge Island, west of mainland Seattle) is placed in that location solely for Abby’s dialogue with Yara.
04:21 That is called the Space Tower. It exists in the location the Space Needle should be. You can see the swap in Dina’s WLF tracking map in the theater.
0:00 me reading the title
I love how they added some little things to the game that we didnt even care, like raindrops on a camera, glass in a skin. Fucking love this masterpiece. Keep it up!
Another interesting thing is that In Joel's House he was making guitars and carving stuff which is interesting because he was a carpenter before the start of the apocalypse
Absolutely insane level of detail.
About the clock @3:33 - analog clock in last scene in a farm house - it not only works, but it's also synced to real local time. Amazing attention to details.
When she holds her two fingers I cried bc she loses them😢
Every time I see that scene it makes me cry-
The rain effect through the scope is nice too. How it bubbles up on the bottom.
Absolutely insane detail. It blows my mind how good this game is.
1:14 looks just like Ethan from resident evil missing pinkie and ring finger.
I'm waiting for Naughty Dog to work on an open world game.
I don’t think they will. They’re against them. Druckman said that there’s no sense of urgency in Open World games. He’s right. You can CHOOSE to do a story mission, or, do six side missions BEFORE continuing the story in all these open world games. Besides, Naughty Dog DID put mini open world maps in both The Last of Us 2 and Uncharted Lost Legacy. That’s kinda plenty
@@franktodarello538 there’s no urgency in this game either, I’m supposed to go run and do this but I still meander about and loot every single room I can
Ugh yes
the amount of detail in this game is INSANE. I don't think I ever saw a game more detailed than this.
the ellie fingers damn thats good find
I always looked at her doing that a lot at the end of the first game and was wondering. Now it's coming full circle.
The second one is even more interesting because Ellie’a trait of holding her left ring finger when she’s anxious was inspired by her voice actor having the same habit
How do you literally bite off someone's fingers though??? That is a strong jaw and teeth
I’m so confused at that part because Ellie had her fingers when she was sitting in the water crying, but they’re gone when she reaches the farmhouse. Where did they go?

This channel is reaching Tobey Maguire levels of quality 👍🏽
game truly and always will hold a special place in my heart, i’ve known about this game for years now and always played last of us multiplayer. i love this game until the day i die, naughty dog did an absolute amazing job with this game but unfortunately i never truly finished tlou 2, i watched my brother play it but i still genuinely enjoyed the game. i cried so hard when i saw joel die, thank u for this masterpiece naughty dog
Well, since Ellie wearing Converse is considered a "hidden detail", i might throw into the mix that Dina is wearing a pair of Blundstone boots
Also when Ellie touches her fingers and Joel talks about his struggle with surviving you can see him touch his watch, remembering sarah and how he was suicidal at one time
0:44 thats just coincidence because ellie wasnt gonna know that those fingers were gonna get bitten
Nahhhh really?
yo, do you think Abby was infected for biting those fingers off? just thought that rn
@@RacotasThing no because when ellie bit abbys arm at the theatre and she didnt got infected
@@Mr_van_Der_Linde nice catch, I just got mind blowned for no reason lol
@@RacotasThing yea you start to think about an oportunitie to kill abby huh lmao 🤣 thx anyways
The glass being embedded into the enemies face is horrifying
I feel so bad for ellie losing her fingers i dont know why
It's because the connection with Joel and playing the guitar, and she cant anymore.
@@verybarrywhyte no i mean im scared af of loosing even half of my pinky finger thats why
@@verybarrywhyte people can lose fingers and play guitar. It's just harder tho. I know it's possible
@@NinjaChief101 It depends on which finger(s) to lose
@@santalucia788 u can play a guitar like left handed do, just re-string it.
1:34 even the background picture looks like it from Uncharted 4 idk looks familiar.
Can you show if Joel keeps watching Ellie during the countdown and launch in her birthday flashback?
Ellie playing with her hand I seen it when I replayed for the third time the game
Everytime I see any videos related to this masterpiece tears automatically comes.
Also the og song 'It was a good day' by Ice cube playing when Ellie was travelling through the ducts to find Nora. This game is one of the best game of the decade.
3:58 where is this tower IRL ?
EDIT : space needle at seattle
It's on the seraphite Island
IRL, it's in the middle of Seattle, between all the tall buildings. In the game, they made it to be on the Island off-shore.
Though weirdly it is used in the middle of Seattle in certain scenes, and yet later appears on an island visually mere meters away, while the island is really far from the shore.
@@bggsz4 it’s actually not on an island but the flooding on seattle is so bad that the space needle looks like it’s on a island
Btw when holding a guy hostage most enemys wont fire. The only enemy the attacks hostages are rattlers and wlf and scars depending on who you hold.
There is no way in hell any of the developers made Ashley hold her fingers as foreshadowing.
Wow. Also, you get bloody footprints for some time when you walk over a bloody body. I just finished it yesterday and this game is a masterpiece.
i think everyone knew ellie wore converse
“The wounds of conscience always leave a scar.”
P. Syrus
So how much of a conscientious act is it to go forward? Choosing to rest your conscience will only bring more unrest and destruction. It is more correct and more beneficial to try to forget and try to prevent the loss of conscience-blood rather than revenge...
Unscrupulousness is one of the important factors that increase grudge and hatred. Injustice and unscrupulousness have a great role in the separation, polarization and deterioration of the ties of society.
I continue with Victor Hugo.
Being good is easy, what is difficult is being just. The most perfect just is conscience..
whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster, if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
This quote by Friedrich Nietzsche is a reminder to measure yourself and be aware of your own thoughts.
In other words, you should always criticize yourself when you enter into a "questioning war" because your life and your own feelings always have plans for you. And the "narrative" of "The Last Of Us Part II" handles this with great mastery.
In addition, The Last Of Us Part II's script is deep, philosophical, dark, emotional and thought-provoking.
A masterpiece that has taken the industry so far and set a new bar.
Again, I will continue with a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche:
“When we are questioned on an unprepared subject, the first thought that comes to our mind is often not our own thought. But it is just a commonplace thought that belongs to our class, position, and ancestry. Self-thoughts rarely surface.”
Time, patience and thinking skills are required for high-level, powerful and philosophical “things” that are actually difficult to understand, difficult to notice. In order to find the real and the essence...
The Last Of Us Part II meaning of life, moral relativism, philosophy of empathy, self-criticism, definition of the concept of human, narrative art, creating a post-apocalyptic universe (dystopia) and blending its philosophy with the people it creates in the post-apocalyptic universe, the meaning of respect, thinking A masterpiece on meaning and emotion transfer. The Last Of Us Part II is the ultimate masterpiece of the eighth generation. And these concepts require “extremely hard thinking”.
Let me end with a final Nietzsche quote:
“The life of the enemy. Whoever lives for the sake of combating an enemy has an interest in the enemy's staying alive.”
Because maybe that person or that thing is not an enemy. It is only the key that will unlock your own conscience and your own feelings...
We cannot talk about good and evil directly, they are related and relative concepts.
Formulating that existing evil was or was not done by a God does not prevent evil from existing. Evil can be tolerated, guided by the will to live. This endurance will be through art, morality and love. Albert Camus attributes his rejection of God to the existence of evil and its abundant and violent experience by humans. According to him, the question we should ask is: Is there evil in this world? Evil, if any, is incompatible with the idea of God. In a divine order, in a world created and ruled by God, the existence of evil is inconceivable. For example, death is an evil and evil inflicts punishment on us. However, “the one who is right is the one who never kills”. This means that he cannot be God. “Either we are not free, and the almighty God is responsible for evil; or we are free and responsible but God is not omnipotent.
According to philosophers, evil harms the bond between people and the state of being human. In my opinion, kindness builds bridges between people, develops bonds and contributes to being human. Kindness is a joy that includes honor, not arrogance. So the fools and the dead are people who do not feel their conscience, do not understand themselves and become numb with this meaninglessness, this is not true peace,
Good people are actually people who have attained peace of mind and prosperity. Their difficult but constructive and strong-willed behaviors show that they trust their own worth and justice. Because the "thing" that is better than being good is conscientious justice, and this is what real goodness and real good person are.
That’s why The Last Of Us Part II is the most unique masterpiece...
The Last Of Us Part II was loved, appreciated and seen as a unique masterpiece by so many people...
The Last Of Us Part II won the game of the year at the PlayStation Awards, with maybe 3 million more “user votes”!
The Last Of Us Part II received 196 official critic awards, 65 official user vote awards, and a total of 261 official awards at the award ceremonies!
It was the piece that won the most game of the year awards in history. So The Last Of Us Part II is GOAT!!
Also, The Last Of Us Part II has extremely excellent and unique gameplay...
The Last Of Us Part II is the best masterpiece in animation, level design, artificial intelligence design, melee, firearm use, particle designs, atmosphere design and game development...
The Last Of Us Part II’s AI really does feel like a human, and it randomly and “naturally” wanders and explores every area it is in. They inspect everywhere: all the voids that can be penetrated, nooks and crannies, underwater, grass, inside the buildings, the whole environment... Their reactions differ according to the interactions in the environment, and the communication and interaction of the enemies with each other is also great!
Npc dialogues = When an npc human or an npc dog dies, other npc people lament for dead npc human or dead npc dog, shout with anger, go crazy, swear to take revenge on the person who killed their loved one and are filled with negative emotions. That's why npc people act like real people and make them feel like real people...
Looking at the post-apocalyptic dystopia design and the notes in this world, it is clear that there is always someone taking revenge on someone, always full of negative emotions... This is a personal, deep, psychological and special journey...
The Last Of Us Part II turns its own post-apocalyptic universe into a powerful dystopia. It doesn't just tell a story. It processes the people in a mind-blowing way and places them in a dystopian universe with an enormous fiction. It connects the characters in it to the dystopian universe that it has created in relation to each other with thematic and emotional bonds. It explains in a magnificent way why this universe exists, the people in it, what is going on in this universe. Especially The Last Of Us Part II does this very well... And there is no other work in the industry that can do this with narrative techniques. The Last Of Us Part II is a work that has perspectives on the philosophy of utilitarianism, secular humanism, the meta-ethical branch of ethical philosophy, political philosophy at certain points (describing state destruction and criticizing the essence of the state, paralleling some of the thoughts of Thomas Hobbes) and moral relativism.
The Last Of Us Part II deals with Thomas Hobbes' understanding of "homo homoni lupus" or "man is a wolf to man" very well... It also has a structure that tells the story of statism and the state order.
Because the state is the only official authority that provides real justice. The state is a structure that puts people in order, rises above moral relativism and establishes a fundamental system of criticism and judgment in a smart and correct manner, which no one can object to. As in the novel 1984, the state can use this power for manipulation...
And if the state collapses, the only law is the laws of nature, the strong one (he/she) provides his/her own subjective justice and the ethics of this is debatable, because since man is a thinking being, the strong one (he/she) will use tolerance and weakness to provide his/her own ideology and his/her own justice. Philosopher Karl Popper also says this.
Here people live with the survival instinct inherited from our ancestors in the destroyed order because the laws of nature are cruel and this survival instinct is really at its peak. Under normal circumstances (today's order), a good, angelic person can be an angel with bloody hands and a broken wing in this universe (the post-apocalyptic dystopia of The Last Of Us)... This universe shows how different people can be in different orders, people can practice behaviors that seem distant from them but can be close at the same time... So people are neither black nor white, they are gray, they are angels with bloody hands... This is a tremendous dystopian post-apocalyptic universe. It is the design and expression of the apocalyptic universe... A different dystopian narrative, presenting different and original perspectives, presenting good and evil and all opposite concepts in gray without distinction makes The Last Of Us Part II a great "masterpiece" on the subject of "narrative". ...
You definitely should read Paul Bloom's book Against Empathy!
Empathy is a relative concept, and if someone doesn't understand the philosophy of empathy, that person shouldn't talk about it.
The Last Of Us Part II is easy on empathy, so The Last Of Us Part II doesn't force empathy. This is already impossible...
Empathy is unique to the person.
The Last Of Us Part II deals with the concept of empathy very well...
And The Last Of Us Part II cares about the main characters and the side characters around the main characters and handles them really well...
So The Last Of Us Part II has extremely well-written characters. Other side characters serve meaningful and deep points in the story. You feel like they all have a purpose in the "narrative" of The Last Of Us Part II...
The Last Of Us Part II characters render very well in gray tones and embed the concept of moral relativism very well into the characters...
Every character (especially the main characters) is like a real person.
The feelings and thoughts of the characters are presented in a realistic way and the character is definitely catchy and impressive, as each one feels like they are real-world people.
Abby has been tortured by rattlers and has lost her majesty and become pathetic. Abby barely has the strength to stay afloat. Ellie unravels it, but they are stunned because now Abby has been tortured worse than death. Then blood gets involved, Ellie's own blood from PTSD reminds her of "Joel's death" and then she can't let Abby go and they fight. Later, the breaking of Ellie's fingers symbolizes guitar, the blood spilling into the water symbolizes Joel, life and human and Ellie's torture by strangling the defenseless and exhausted Abby symbolizes Joel's death. And an epiphany (Go to search) ensues. Later, she remembers a very meaningful "memory" she had with Joel, and this memory begins with Joel playing the guitar. This memory is the “moment” when she decides to forgive Joel, and this moment is the memory of the conscientious relief that comes from forgiving despite everything that has happened, the effort to start a new life with a clean slate despite everything that happens. In this way, she chooses to get rid of his feelings by "hesitating".
Ellie wasn't there for revenge anyway, she was actually there to bring herself closer to Joel. Ellie went to find Abby to make up for her inability to save Joel. She had long since given up on revenge, she. Months had passed and Ellie had completely changed... As she said in the farm scenes... Ellie had not fully forgiven Joel. That's why Ellie was so angry with Abby. Ellie was angry with Abby for taking away her chance to forgive Joel. Ellie was so angry at Abby for killing Joel while they were on a bad break. And Ellie went to find Abby to fully forgive Joel. Ellie was there to make up for her inability to save Joel. In fact, Ellie was mostly angry with herself because she thought she had betrayed Joel. Ellie fought with Abby because she was so angry with herself and therefore to suppress the feeling of regret on herself, and for the reasons I explained in the finale, she realized that forgiveness is actually the medicine for revenge and anger...
The relationship between Abby and Lev is very deep... Abby would not have been with Owen without Yara and Lev. Although Abby has fulfilled her desire for revenge, she still carries a guilt that makes her feel heavy, unhappy and depressed. Abby sees Yara's arm being smashed by the Seraphites, coldly and unhesitatingly, being struck again and again with the hammer. Later, he is saved from drowning by hanging, thanks to the direction of Yara and Lev's cutting the rope at the last moment. If Abby hadn't met Lev and Yara at that moment, she would have been dead, hanged and pierced. Lev and Yara are still children. And Yara needs protection and treatment. Abby helped Yara move forward, carrying Yara in her arms. Abby carried Yara in her arms for a long time. Because Abby wanted to help those two kids. When Abby left them and went to Owen, she looked from Owen's point of view, so she realized that things fought for were not always what they seemed. Even after Abby had been with Owen (because sex is a real heartfelt emotion and it does dominate), she was still overwhelmed by the pangs of conscience. And Abby saw the two kids she wanted to help and later abandoned, died by hanging in her nightmare. And Abby was holding his neck when he woke up in a sweat. Because Abby had never been hanged before, and if it weren't for Yara and Lev, Abby would've been standing outside forever hanging and disemboweled, not next to Owen. And Abby still owed those two kids the favor. And Abby listened to the voice of conscience... Because Abby had caused such devastating events that she was trying to prove to herself that she had a good feeling somewhere inside and that she was a good person. That's why Abby couldn't forget Yara and Lev as she tried to prove she was a good person, choosing to listen to her conscience and thus truly help them.
And it was indeed a great finale. There is also a biblical reference. In the Bible, water symbolizes new life, rebirth, and purification from sins.
The Last Of Us Part II is truly an "emotional roller coaster" masterpiece...
This game has by far the best physics ever used in videogame.
Except Uncharted
I was expecting realistically muffeled sound when Abby put the ear protectors at the shooting range.
This game is a 9/10 MINIMUM, a well deserved Game of the Year award. ♥️
Agreed
I know right? I love the last of us part 1
4:55
I like how it says "you're dead" on the PS Vita screen in Hotline Miami and then she actually dies
after baldur comes what did atreus do in it can you look
4:45 I'm not sure, but she mentions to Abby that Hotline Miami is a tought game (and has great tunes). And when you see her Vita as Ellie, she actually remains in the same level that she was when we interact with her as Abby.
Another reference: in the photo Joel's daughter is swearing an argentinian football shirt and doing the V de la Victoria Peronista. Maybe she didn't die, just came to this beautiful country with permanent inflation.
I love the quality of your videos. It makes them so enjoyable
