Our last video was an analysis of The Last of Us Part II's narrative. In this episode I actually review the game with, you know, jokes and stuff. They say the best medicine is laughter, and after this depressing game I think we could all use a little memes. #tlou2 #TheLastOfUs #NaughtyDog

People can stop explaining The Lord of the Rings to us. The point of the joke is that all of the plot hole questions we asked are easily answered because they aren't plot holes. Apparently my extreme sarcasm and Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy music wasn't obvious enough 😂
I got it
People be dumb
yes
You guys hit the 1 million today! Congrats!❤ and great video btw
Now I have to look for those comments to see how did they not notice how obvious it was.
"It has earned a final score of... We don't do that here/10"
Joel: "I'll take what i can get"
Well... They DID gave a score to Doom though: 666/10, a Very rational score in my opinion.
I don’t think I’ve felt this jebaited before, ever
I mean what else he can Joel do!
I can't describe how happy that part made me (complete with the Mario game-over animation and audio). Y'all have more integrity and resolve than most corporate reviewers or other RUclipsrs out there.
Like LoU2 with the promise of killing Abby, GFR gets your hopes up and then betrays you in the end.
Ellie's Gameplay: Sneak, strategy and precision.
Abby's Gameplay: Terminator.
Why bring that up??? RIP Terminator franchise. F
Maybe that was my problem. I played Joel as stealthy as possible....I played Ellie as stealthy as possible....and I played Abby as stealthy as possible, and it wasn't as fun. The game trained you to be overly resourceful, so i never wanted to waste any ammo if possible
What does it mean with terminator
@@bobbyteenager4e The difference in gameplay was actually great. It makes distinct differences from them base on their story. Abby was one of the WLFS best fighters/soldiers and is well trusted and respected in their faction because of this. That's why her Gameplay is more action heavy. She also has stronger weapons because as mentioned she's one of their best. You want your best to have the best tools.
Ellie never focused herself of physical combat and relies on basic survival skills that she learned. That's why although she is not well versed in combat she can clear out a room methodically. Like a beautiful serial killer who also murders dogs.... XD
@@metalmayhem3622 may Arnold stop being in any of them.
I mean... the channel's name is GIRLFRIEND reviews but the guy only ever has one girlfriend and he hasn't even reviewed her yet

Girlfriend Review's: the last of us 2 is a good game
Internet: So you have chosen death
It's really just a vocal MINORITY (hence the likes/dislikes ratio, amazon's review ratios, etc) that have aggressively and desperately tried to ruin people's enjoyment of TLOU2 by thinking they shout and cry their opinions loud enough to make them count more, LMAO. They can keep crying, and we'll keep enjoying this game. ;-)
KrimsonKracker so glad it’s agreed that the game is generally good now instead of people crying about it
@@KrimsonKracker I personally don't like it as much the first game I respect your opinion
@@akhonankosi4704 I personally like it better. To each their own!
@@akhonankosi4704 You are a nice person. I like your style.
I truly respect the "we dont do that here/10." Non-numerical reviews lead to people actually listening to your points and criticism rather than just looking at a number without the nuance of all that goes behind it
Nah, people who don't care will tune out what she says when she starts talking. The number doesn't change if people understand or not
Right, because the non-numbered reviews on Metacritic are the ones everyone paid attention to. /s
Put that on a shirt!!!
@@violentpursuit That's unfortunate, but slapping a number on something as subjective as games is imo not the best move.
RoaringBlaizze I truly can’t understand what a review says if They don’t give a score; cause sometimes they say some really nice things that makes it look by a ten but it’s still a seven; I just need a score.
You guys... The Joker part literally had my sides hurting from laughing so hard...
Thank you for this masterpiece of a video! love you guys to literal death.
Hell yes lmfao I LOVED THAT PART!
@@GrownManPat When everyone was playing abby everyone was like that xD "HIT MEEE I DARE YA"
@@dez8506 lmao! I felt like a beast!

So good and accurate...
Not gonna lie. That scene under the hospital with Nora was soooo gruesome I didn’t want to do it! But after 3 minutes of debate I went at it like Kratos Vs Zeus. After it was so rattling I felt like I just wanted Ellie to stop. Never had a game franchise make me feel like the last of us.
It's the first game I had to stop playing because I couldn't take it emotionally anymore. I finished it later but I just couldn't take any more.

I remember I wrote something like “ tlou2 Was an emotional journey” this person commented an essay why he hated the game.
Edit: there’s nothing wrong with receiving an essay on why someone hates the game. I am just trying to insinuate that this game has impacted many gamers to express how they feel regardless if you love or hate the game or not.
If he doesn't mock you that's fine.
And?
It's the first time i hear someone being inteligent enough on why they hate the game passed the fact they hate abby cuz she killed joel.

When Ellie got home at the very end and her family was gone and went to play her guitar and couldn’t because she didn’t have the fingers anymore had me scream-crying in the club

But then this wouldn't be Girlfriend reviews
When she made a vague mention of how long they'd been together in another of their videos I watched, I began to think it's likely they're already married, if they ever plan on marrying. (My partner and I have been together "unofficially" for about 15 years (long story, nobody cares) and officially for about 3 years of those 15 and do not plan to get married.
2:48 holy shit! I can't believe I played through this whole game and never tried a kill like that. Which of course means this is the first time i'm seeing that glorious animation. Bravo to the mocap team!
I was like "wait you can do that?!"
I tried that once and I just landed in front of the guy
Same lol idk that as well, oh and another is when you dont have bullet and you try to shoot, the enemy will shout " the enemy doesnt have bullet"
@@redzyakuza lol well damn, now i've got to try that!
@@brokenbiscuit3609 You have to press the attack button mid air. It doesn't work like in Uncharted 4 where you just need to jump towards a guy.
The real sadness of this game is how Abby lost her gains by the time you find her on the beach. She had those triceps cut like diamonds, and you know that took some real work. Truly heartbreaking stuff.
Mfs have NO idea how hard it is get on a bulk in an apocalypse 😤
Bruh but she was STILL muscular
Haha. I genuinely thought this too. I was gutted she was all imaciated at the end. It's going to take a long time and a lot of overcooked chicken and broccoli for her to get those sick gains back...
@@Lordi99 Dumbass no. When you go back to the 1st Day of Seattle with Abby, they're in a football stadium complete with a giant workout room. They've been there for at least 3 years according to some dialogue during the section.

The people who are threatening and harassing people because of this game are worse than the actual product they're hating.
People are becoming the theme of the game without even noticing lmao
I blame Neil Druckman for that, he has gone out of his way to antagonize fans of the original for no apparent reason. And after how he treated Amy Henning, it's rich for him to pretend to be an ally of women in gaming.
Completely agree, it is just a sign of immaturity. Even I hated the story, and still rated the game a 7/10, due to the other aspects of a game.
Hurin Thalion you are the reason I hate being a gamer
I don’t like the last of us series so I guess according to the internet I have to hate anyone with a copy
"Like a siren singing him to shipwreck" I finally found one of Matt's elusive Radiohead easter eggs!
Yeah I noticed that right away haha.
Wait there is more???
Apparently I’m not a big enough Radiohead fan because I had no idea where that was from.
Isn't that from Greek mythology?
Its from there there, if anyones wondering
Funny how I’ve read some comments from people who said Joel would never trust a random stranger to go to their hideout but in the first game he agreed to go with Henry and Sam to their hideout and he also didn’t have to deal with a shit ton of infected at that time.
yeah but he did heavily hesitate and ellie kinda pressured him into it
Just leavin this here. Joel didn’t want to go to Henry and sams hideout, he was reluctant at first. The only reason he went was because of ellie. Also, Joel never stopped fighting when he was in Jackson. He filled his time up with scouting and killing infected. Much less than what he was doing before but it’s not like he lost all of his survival training
@@alex_7642 yet it's the same for Tommy in part 2
@@victoriasanchez8660 yet Tommy convinced joel to go just like Ellie in the first game, yet it's unrealistic now???😂
"Where's my f##@ing money Neal!"

Wish they had used Stewie beating in Brian asking for his money xD
This was gold. Definitely the reasons I subscribed 😂
Incels after watching that part: I knew they were paid.
XD
Neil went from looking like john petrucci to looking more like jeff bridges while making this game for 700 years. I hope he takes a vacation.
So funny, I love how the narrative of reviews scores change depending on the game. TLOU 2 gets good scores "Sony bought them", Ghost of Tsushima get good scores "we don't care because everybody has the same opinion", Death Stranding gets bad scores "Sony ran out of money or was saving it for TLOU I guess" o.O.
Haha that joker part was spot on. When I was playing as Ellie, I subconsciously went stealth mode and such. And when I played Abby, I was like that Vince McMahon power walk meme.
Me too but it was mainly because by the 3rd hour of playing as someone I hated, in quite possibly the most exhausting narrative structure I've ever seen, i was just done with it and wanted to be finished, so I stopped hiding and started running to where I thought the exit of the room was
Yeah, I had that too lol. I was scared as shit of the stalkers when I was playing as Ellie. But after seeing those mad gainz Abby had at the start, I ended up meleeing about 70-80% of my enemies because it was just so much more fun.
@@crini413 Does an FFIX avatar count as an anime avatar? Seems to be some overlap.
Coming back to this so many years later, and with the TV series doing its thing, it's crazy to think so many people lost their mind about this game. TLOU 1 and 2 are works of art. Major props to ya'll _not_ shilling and staying true to yourselves.
It’s actually crazy if you think this game is the biggest controversy of videogame history…
"so many years later"... 3
lol… This video is 3 years old. This is one of the best games ever made regardless of the show coming out
I didn’t fire the revolver a single time throughout the entire game. I felt like I would be dishonoring Joel
I think he would want Ellie to use it. Like he was protecting her even in death.
I salute you sir
Can't dishonor Joel anymore than druckmann already had
@@MrSwitchblade327 By making him the person who saves Ellie from the path of revenge and saving Abby at the same time? Look, I understand if you like Joel but he was really flawed, he wasn't the best guy but techniquely no one is in TLOU everyone is grey and is supposed to be seen in that way even Joel and Ellie.
@@MrSwitchblade327 I don't know what to think about your comment, man. Hmph, lemme check some random ass memes/reddit/4chan/metacritic user reviews real quick so I can come up with an informed and very, very original opinion about all this... that's how y'all mfs sound like to me, bitching and whatnot on comment sections 'bout a game that came out like SEVEN MONTHS AGO-while Neil Druckmann is laughing his ass off, all the way to the bank!

Most liked video why not make one again!
I just realized something ironic! So you mention how the gameplay as Ellie feels more stealth-based and strategic, while the gameplay as Abby is more about smashing people's face (due to their respective weapons and upgrades). And you know, it's very much true. HOWEVER, when you're fighting Ellie as Abby, you have to be strategic and hiding, and play her as you usually play Ellie. Meanwhile, when Ellie fights Abby, it's a full-on melee battle of them punching and stabbing! I just find it interesting that both times those two fights, you fight on your opponent's rules, and yet you win both times!
wow so observant! you really don't blow things out of proportion!
@@point-bl4nk bruh
I feel like that's the beauty of it. There's alot of side by sides in this game but Abbie it a literal trained solider fighting on training. Ellie is fighting out of pure hatred. And that's why Ellie dosent usually ever win.
well,
the first time Abby has no weapon, so she can't goes in guns blazing, she brings an empty bottle to gun fight, she has to be strategic.
2nd time Ellie wants Abby to fight to the death, she hopes either she kills Abby so she can be freed from PTSD, or Abby kills her so she can be free from PTSD(in a way)
@@lazyboyterry that's deep man😔
I just finished this game this weekend. I initially wasn't pleased with the amount of play time that Abby was getting (I mean, we've spent 1.5 games "bonding" with Ellie as the character), but after playing all the way through - I have a deep appreciation for what Naughty Dog did. If you walk into this game expecting a zombie, action adventure on rails, you're going to be disappointed. If you expect another cliche happy ending, you will be disappointed. The truth is, in a world where we are becomingly increasingly numb to any layer below quest markers, point and shoots and collectibles, this game does something not many can.... incite an emotional response (or more aptly, rip it out of you). This isn't Uncharted: Ellies Fortune, but rather a deep dive into the psyche and trauma of how decisions can manifest and change a person. It's also a technical marvel with masterful choreography.
That said, it's not without questionable decisions. There were a few times where characters acted in a seemingly awkward way that seemed to only serve as plot devices. Those instances were far outweighed by sum of the overall experience for me. No game is perfect, but this one deserves its 10/10 IMO, but it's not a game for everyone.
Thats a good take. Can you name those few times? I'm actually curious
@@pepolord8322 Sure.
Mel's decision to pretty much do anything with how pregnant she was. Given how established the whole operation was at the stadium, any mother-to-be would likely choose to stay safe and have the child, rather than run out into fanatic and zombie infested zones.
Tommy's decision to badger Ellie about going to find abby. He had already accepted that she would live and convinced Ellie that was OK at the theater, then shows up and and tries to guilt trip her into tracking her down... seemed to be a plot device more than anything.
Lev running back to the island alone, knowing how things were, seemed foolish for someone who had been focused on survival 1 day prior. Again felt like a plot device to get abby to the island.
Thats a couple off the top of my head, I could probably think of a couple more, but I'm tired.
@@ccallaghan84 hmm I can absolutely agree with you. Only Mel's willingness to get killed bothered me on my playthrough, but I had not given those other moments a deeper thought.
Mel's part is weird to me specially because it didn't even have to happen, plotwise. Seems like she goes just so the game can stablish her cautious relationship with Abby, but there were other ways of doing that...
Even so, I agree with you that its a 10/10 for what it achieves. Amazing game
@@ccallaghan84 Had a discussion before about this, but Mel isn't exactly the brightest character in the game. On one hand, it could be considered admirable that Mel would want to go to the FOB to still take up her medical duties in her condition, but as the story progresses, it comes off more foolhardy when she tears down Abby after having rescued Yara and Lev and tries to attack Ellie, who just shot Owen after he attacked her and failed.
Tommy's the only one here I fully disagree with you on. If you look at the before and after, Tommy was fully functional and willing to get Ellie, Jesse, and Dina back to Jackson. Then suddenly Abby comes along, kills Jesse, beats down a now PTSD-ridden Ellie, almost kills Dina, and leaves Tommy disabled, partially blind, and possibly with less mental capabilities due to the gunshot. Not even taking into account what the damage did to his relationship with Maria and likely with the whole of the community. Push came to shove, and Tommy fell hard.
Yeah, Lev returning back was the moment where I thought "Okay, we can start wrapping this up now, we know this is how Ellie gets Owen and Mel alone". The only things I can think of in the writers' defense is that he's a 13 year old, and he was still very attached to the Seraphites (who he refused to hear called Scars) and thought his mom would be the only possible person who could be talked into leaving, too. But I could see that as pushing it.
@@iisanulquiorrahara8 About Tommy, I think its also worth mentioning that the version of him we see in Jackson in the beggining of the game - very calm, moderate - was also hiding his true intentions. He was probably much more consumed by rage than he seems at that point.
Later in Seattle, he's willing to go back, true, but to save Dina's life.
Still, I think Mister 2 raises a good point, because afterwards, even if Tommy was still wishing to hunt Abby, I don't think it fits his character very much to push Ellie to go instead of himself - even if he couldn't. To risk her life instead of his
“In 2013, Joel became the video game Dad of our dreams, and then the bloody *pulp* of our nightmares.” BiG yiKeS
“We don’t do that here/10” I love it 😂😂😂
I'll take what I can get
When she was talking about playing as Abby in a room of Stalkers and being fearless all I could think of was Rorschach’s speech in the prison lunchroom scene in Watchmen.
“You all got this wrong. I’m not stuck in here with you... you’re stuck in here with me!”
Or Id's description of DOOM. "Usually it's you locked in a room with demons. In this game, it's a bunch of demons locked in a room with you."
I was thinking of that during the torch light hammer part
Me too!!
@Evidentialist Alternatively. You're fearless because if Abby dies then awesome.
they would have probably used that meme if they hadnt spent it already on the sekiro video
This game screwed me up emotionally, absolutely LOVED IT

@@milklesstea6091 mad for what
@@milklesstea6091 watch your Tom & Jerry little kid!
Your plot hole synopsis retort is exactly how I felt every time people brought those arguments up. It's like- are you so- blinded by rage of Joel's death you actually can't see critical story developments as it is currently revealing itself before your very eyes.
Those people really just want any reason to justify their hatred of the game.
They are pathetic, they call EVERYTHING they dont understand a 'plot hole' even though it was explained in the game.
@@thebignacho not tryin to start shit but theres alot of plot armor repeating itself where characters are about to die but end up getting saved at the last second
@DEW IT Same could be said for the first game. There’s TONS of instances where Joel could’ve died and was saved at the last minute like when he’s knocked over by the clicker before Tess shot it, the runner before Bill sliced its head off, nearly drowned by that Hunter before Ellie shot him, getting impaled and conveniently waking up when Ellie’s in trouble not long after the antibiotics etc. Why make Part 2 the exception to plot armours when there’s evidently way more in the first game?
A little note that does not necessarily disprove the thesis the reviewers are bringing up. The examples of plot contrivance in Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and how they compare to this are not very good examples.
They are fantasy stories in which you accept certain mystical elements as part of it. The ring corrupts the bearer and is shown to be heavy throughout and Star wars has a mystical force that connects all living things and a bit of a Destiny concept in it. The Last of Us does not that I know of.
you cant deny the fact that its impressive they managed to make this game look so good on such an old machine
I've always wondered how they did it lol. It looks really really good. Sometimes I like to look up the small details I missed
Agreed I woulda thought they'd save it for ps5
That's what I thought about Last of Us on PS3. Naughty Dog did it again.
@@baburdombay8340 They work wonders there. They should seriously be proud of the graphics they have achieved. Years ago we were mind blown but the first game. And just like you've said, they have done it again

Hey. Don't put yourself down like that. Most game journalists are just pretending to be game journalists too.

@@Anidem9. 🤣😂🤣 You beat me to it. 👍
Everyone is pretending anywayp
I think the problem that is game journalist sites like IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku, Polygon, etc. have done so much damage to reviews as a whole that nowadays no one takes them seriously. It just feels like that they've so much damage to reviewing that's it's having a negative impact on smaller channels now.
Most youtubers are pretending to be youtubers too. They just react to people's articles and call themselves youtubers
I really enjoyed that game! When I was first put in the shoes at Abby, I was like oh hell no; I hate this woman! Then I played more and ended up in a conflict of emotions. I hate her for what she did to Joel, and at the same time I felt bad for her for what Joel did to her.
Like your BF I didn't wanna fight back when her and Ellie squared off. I didn't know who the hell's side I was on anymore!
Stay Awesome GFR
Oh, I knew very well whose side im on. Abby died multiple times in multiple ways.
Can I just ask why did you hate Abby? Objectively, Joel is the biggest piece of shit in that world, we knew he had it coming… she had every reason to do what she did. Sparing the others on that day was enough to show that she wasn’t really a bad person or anything.
@@shannonrussell898 seriously? I would understand it if they made abby playable if it's dlc, but no i still don't like abby, i get what she's coming from but still the execution of the story is very out of place like the developers is so eager to let the player play abby (10 hours of gameplay as her) when they said that ellie is the only playable character in this game, so they lied... Tbh the reason many sides with joel and not abby is because how the story in the first game show us his side why he did what he thinks is right, i would have love abby if they made the right pacing on her story but it seems like they just wanted to replace ellie and joel, to abby and lev, well that's my opinion at least

Shelby: "be kind in the comment section"
Haters: so you have chosen... death
I swear that was my same mindset 💯
That's exactly how I felt about the "plot holes" or "plot armor" in this game. It's all minor stuff that other great stories have.. Implausible situations make a story more exciting, and it's pretty difficult to write a story without there being unlikely convenience here and there.
I know I'm late to the party here but this is the first Girlfriend Reviews I've watched and this was hilarious. I'm now a subscriber. Keep up the good work!
that dark knight sequence was the greatest thing i've seen all week. bless you
It didn’t really fit but I can see how you’d think it would.
The Kylo Ren "I know what I have to do but don't know if I have the strength to do it" was exactly how I felt in that cutscene. It took me two trys on it just incase we didn't have to stab Abby in the throat
Ikr the knife literally goes inside her I hated it so much
I felt the exact same way. I failed a couple of the quicktime prompts because I could feel all of those slashes and stabs. No other game has made me feel like that.
I felt like george at the end of "Of Mice & Men", not wanting to do it, but knowing i had to.
Same. I didn't want to have to do it but the game made me!
Honestly I kept hitting the button but I kept looking away from the screen and shouted a "OH THANK GOD" when ellie stoped.
Oh no the main character fought for a goal for the whole game then got emotional and changed their mind at the very end because of their changed and developed perspectives? Sounds a lot like this one game I know. It's about a guy who has to take an immune girl across the country in a zombie apocalypse.
Difference is, Joel spent the whole game doing something he believed was right, only to do something wrong at the last second because his attachment to Ellie overwhelmed him. Ellie spent the whole game doing a good thing, only to pull out at the last second, basically wasting everyone’s time. Because no matter how much the game wanted me to think otherwise, I hated Abby and wanted her dead. At the very least, we should have been given that option.
@@gavo7911 Seeking revenge and killing dozens of people while doing so, including pregnant women, is apparently a "good thing" to you.
Dully noted.
...
Seriously though: the whole point of Ellie's first part was to show that vengeance leads to dark path. The more you kill you targets, the more you start to see how Ellie is capable of horrible things to get back to Abby.
When you then play Abby, you realize that this "monster" you were chasing is actually a human who went the exact same path Ellie is going through, seeking revenge even though it ruined her life. It also shows that she's a normal human who makes mistakes, has dreams, lovers, etc... It humanizes her so that you don't see her as only a target anymore, but a real human you ended up liking.
I really don't understand how people can still hate on Abby so much after that. I feel like people who don't understand that just lack empathy, and I am not even someone who's really in touch with my feelings compared to a lot of people.
I was torn between wanting to kill her and wanting to save her in the end, which is exactly what the game wants you to feel.
@@sakon31 it's funny, because each time I play it, at the beginning I want Abby to die in a horrible way... and each time I get to her half of the game I'm rooting for her to survive.
@@sakon31 Practically every named enemy Ellie kills, she gives the chance to turn away or run. But then they attack her anyway. How on earth am I supposed to feel bad for the pregnant chick who put herself in a COMBAT SITUATION and refused to retreat from the angry woman who has rampaged across Seattle? I get what the story was trying to say, I really do. I just didn’t like it.
@@gavo7911 Nora was unarmed and ran. Mel was a medic moving between locations when they were ambushed. She then went off active duty afterwards and was was hiding out at the aquarium with Owen when Ellie arrived. She co-operated and only attacked Ellie after she shot Owen. There's no guarantee for any of them that Ellie will let them live if they co-operate anyway since everyone else Ellie (or Tommy) has come across ended up dead. They've seen what scars do with prisoners too so they could well be conditioned to fight back no matter what.

Dammit Shelby take a hint, Matt clearly wants you to hit dat gym!
@JL-CptAtom no im not morbidly obese, this is just my natural plateau
Gotta get that "Swol-by" form goin
@JL-CptAtom Maybe Abbys plateau was higher than average, like a professional athletes plateau. Or Maybe this is a videogame and not a doctor's thesis, so the gamemakers did not spend years in college studying the human body.
JL-CptAtom Abby was a high-ranking soldier in a successful agrarian community with an abundance of food and a gym she seems to have used religiously. She even brags to Owen about how much she benched in a flashback. What’s so unrealistic about her physique? Can’t her ‘natural plateau’ just be higher than average?
@JL-CptAtom Abby's body is based on real life woman bodybuilder ;)
I've definitely been interested in people taking issue with the story contrivance of Joel and Abby running into each other at the start. Like, it is certainly convenient for the story, but, as you point out, that sort of convenience happens all the time in popular media. Honestly, it is how a ton of stories get started. One of my favorite shows, Avatar: The Last Airbender has what could be considered a super contrived/convenient introduction with Sokka and Katara only finding Aang's iceberg because Katara got mad at Sokka and did some reckless accidental waterbending that revealed it and on top of that, Zuko, the dude whose life mission is to track the Avatar, just so happens to be at the south pole to see the energy of it in the distance. Hell, even the start of the first Last of Us has this same sort of thing with Joel and Tess run into Marlene because she just happens to be looking for Robert at the exact same time as them. The purpose of these choices is to get the plot to start moving forward. They are inciting incidents and there isn't supposed to be some massive build up to them. It really feels like people are trying to find an Objective(tm) reason as to why the game has Bad Writing, and in doing so, they hold this story to a different standard than others.
Razbuten ATLA is a great example!
Hey, it's Razbuten!! You're rock man!
didn't Owen find where joel was in the first place? Abby was searching for him in his own city limits of Jackson so it's perfectly reasonable for them to stumble into one another especially with the infected chasing her everywhere near joel and Tommy. I dont even see how its some "convenience" its just a natural story progression.
In TLOU i wonder how did joel not got shot but sarah did when we saw a soldier literally spraying rounds on them.Well that wasn't a "plot hole" for people but joel following abby is.
@@LordeMarsh Remember in the first game where Joel went to sleep in the same room as Sam and Henry after meeting them 10 minutes prior and trusting them completely? And then staying with them after they left Joel and Ellie to die? Saving Abby was 100 percent in character and especially after he's had 4 years of chill small town life. Get a different complaint because this one is very dumb
Damn Joel died after my real dad died. This year sucks!!

I’m not taking a side because I haven’t played the game. That being said, I don’t think a lot of its vehement haters have either...
My thoughts exactly. Regardless of whether or not you consider it a good game, the kind of behavior that its nay-sayers are exhibiting is downright juvenile and completely uncalled for. As for me personally, the more that I hear about this game, the more that I want to play it.
Finished the game and gameplay was real good loved it didn’t like the story but hey it’s not for everyone but I’m glad they tried something new
They didn't. They just listen to the political channels and spam review bombs because they were incited to do so.

@@nomadikmind3979 how so?
@@nomadikmind3979 How so?
@@arunkeshavadas7171 you were bothered by that?
I kinda feel like the overall concept was forgiveness. Especially between Ellie and Joel and how she didn’t get a chance to fully remedy things between before it was too late, Abby and Lev and their faction wars. But in the end whatever lessons of life Naughty Dog where trying to represent was ultimately overshadowed by hate, which is why it seems the theme is self destructive hatred. I’m not complaining that Joel died, his death is obviously a powerful emotional motivator, but unfortunately all decent aspects seemed to be met with HOW he died not WHY.
Joel's death is certainly debatable. In my opinion, considering he betrayed humanity by preventing a cure from being made and killing may Fireflies and their leader in the process, his death was pretty much confirmed in this one. Many people say that he died an out of character death. Here's how I took it, Joel is no longer on the run, smuggling, or any of that stuff he did in the first game. He's basically settling down in this one after so many years after what happened at the end of the first game. So, his awareness dropped in my opinion. This is not mentioned, but I think maybe Tommy told Joel to be more approachable and lend a helping hand to people that are in need/passing by Jackson. I think what also established that comfort zone is that he thought killing most of the Fireflies and killing their leader "dismantled" the Fireflies group. Meaning, no one would pursue him and even if they did, wouldn't know where he would end up. I don't know though, just a theory.
The themes feels more like that forgiveness is hard and emotionally painful but violence is much worse.
Alright. Conspiracy Theory here: What if Naughty Dog leaked the game on purpose as a way to create that "self destructive hate" in real life in order to mirror what was happening in the game?
@@DM0M0 youre giving neil way too much credit. you make him sound like he knows what he is doing.
@@Th3W4tchman To me this is what they were going for but the main issue is they pulled the trigger way too early. The death being a few hours in didn't give enough time to establish Joel as a fundamentally new character/person than who he was in years earlier. IMO a bunch of the flashback stuff should have been more fleshed out and front-loaded at the start of the game with sprinklings of Abby and her motives here and there. I hear some people say that it should have been at least half way through the game. I personally disagree with this as it wouldn't give Abby the time she needs but I believe having the event happen somewhere around 4-6 hours in would have been good. It would have allowed for them time to show the changes in Joel. As you said - no longer on the run, drop in awareness, more mentions from characters , add a segment where he does help people or nearly gets caught by something due to distraction after the event with ellie (the truth) and simply his age catching up to him whereby the setup of his death would then make more sense.
I really really enjoyed the last of us part 2.
So I just finished my 3rd playthrough of this game. Now.. in the first playthrough I spend the time that I had with Abby with absolute disgust and hate. I wasn't able to think objectively and see beyond my curtain of hatred. I couldn't get behind the idea of spending half of my game time on a game that I thought was supposed to be about Joel and Ellie with a new character that at this point I only wanted to murder. I rushed through Abby's part as quickly as I could. I ended up saying things like "Okay I can see what Neil Druckmann tried here but it didn't work for me. The story was okay but I was disappointed with the choices they did in the narrative structure, but the rest of the game is a masterpiece". I went into my second playthrough with the objective to be... objective! and approach the whole Abby scenario with open-mindedness! And it worked! I started liking Abby and I started to empathize with her story. I finished the game with a much more satisfying feeling towards the story and its characters. The 3rd playthrough only strengthened that feeling and it came to a point where I wasn't so sure anymore if I enjoyed Ellie's or Abby's story more. I just love Abby's section with Lev. I also feel like the side cast of this game is pretty underrated. A lot of people call characters like Owen and Jesse trash just because they don't play a MAJOR role in the game. I feel like these characters perfectly tied into the entire story. They may not have been the most influential on the story but the way they came and went tied in so well. I just wanted to get that off of my chest and say that this game is a masterpiece. The story is still not close to the first part but it is a damn good story for sure. And like I said before. Gameplay, graphics, soundtrack, animation work, details, world-building, etc are a masterpiece.
The story worked for me first time through but on my second play-through I was surprised by the details I'd forgotten or misremembered by the end of my first play-through. The first thing that really stood out was that Abby wakens up at the start of the game she's just a bad dream. Now I immediately knew what the dream was and it explained why she was so determined to go off on her own and why Joel saving her meant so little. Her dad's murder was fresh in her mind.
It was also interesting how conversations that seemed throw away first time through took on a deeper meaning when you knew what was to come. For example, some of Dina's conversation with Ellie in Seattle is trying to suss out how Ellie will react to Dina telling her she's pregnant.
I also tend to play stealthy so I played Abby like Ellie first time through. That was a mistake. Ellie is a ninja but Abby is a tank and playing her stealth meant her section dragged a little. Second time through I stayed stealth with Ellie and went gung ho with Abby and had a blast. Every time I watch a play-through, there's always a something I spot that I missed. The game is incredible.
I tried to be open minded with Abby. I really did. But any sort of sympathy and respect that I had for her went right out the door the moment she was about kill Dina; despite the fact that she knew she was pregnant. Were it not for Lev, she would have gone through with it. Her willingness to do something as horrible as deliberatly killing a pregnant woman is just something I can't forgive.
Owen was actually my favorite character in this game
@@elbryan9 i think it had to do with the fact that Ellie killed a pregnant woman too, Mel. Even though Ellie didn’t know it, Abby doesn’t know that.
Neil said himself in 2016 that the first game was about love while this game was about hate. Naughty Dog stuck to their guns. Also, that explains why people love the first because, simply, it's universally easier to love a story about love. But, for me, as much I love the first, lying to Ellie at the end , taking that choice away from her and making everyone's death meaningless left me with a sinking feeling. So with that said this sequel absolutely did the story of the first justice.
The Joker/Abby fighting edit was friggin’ brilliant.
I didn't completely agree with the first video on TLOU, and it's fine because people are allowed to have different opinions.
And it saddens me do much people can't simply understand that and go on with their lives. It's even sadder that they harass people involved (whether it's people that made it, played it or just reviewed it) just because they don't agree with it.
I mean.. it’s the internet at the end of the day, all you can do is ignore it
It’s hate and entitlement, nobody tries to understand the other side. Thats how everybody is treating others without knowing there’s people behind the reviewers or commenters.
Agreed. What’s sad to me is that there is so much room for interesting discussion and debate here and yet those who are just angry and yelling drown out so much of the genuine criticisms people have. The discourse just devolves into two sides yelling at one another. I love the game but also love hearing why it didn’t work for others.
The sublime irony of it all is the fact that they are the same kind of people who usually speak out against things like cancel culture/internet hate mob. Guess it's okay as long as its my group doing the bad things.
Heyy it’s simple
They just have no lives!
What else can push people in their right minds to such extremes..
I've noticed a trend lately on RUclips... Videos titled "I gave The Last of Us part 2 a second chance" "I tried the Last of Us Part 2 again and liked it" "The Last Of Us Part 2 - why it's great"... Seems like NOW the people who trashed the game when it came out are starting to come around and realize the game is a masterpiece, but honestly it kind of makes me mad!!! They hated on the game for ridiculous reasons, and now that The Last of Us is popular again they're praising it and saying how amazing it is. Not sure if anyone else has noticed this trend but within the last like 2 months I've been seeing videos like those pop up everywhere.
I did, many recent videos about it, probably because the show, but the worst about it is the hordes of haters that (seems to me) are hunting all day for new stuff about it just to spread their hate, how the hell years later these people still have the patience to spread their bul$hit all over the internet, i mean, there is a LOT, really LOTS of worst games out there but never this hate crap on them.
Probably coincides with the release of the show, but if anything its also an indicator of how impactful the story was when it came out
Time is the best healer, a lot of people just needed some to get over the depressing elements of the game (I loved it and still couldn't replay it for a while),
Most people who played it on release were big fans of the original game and were too butthurt and emotional from Joels death to try to appreciate the game fully. Only later when they got over it they were actually able to play the game and look at it objectively
If you haven’t stopped fighting at least once in one of the fights between Ellie vs Abby to see what would happen, you have no heart.
Too bad, they didn't actually implement anything there. Immersion ruined!
Look I still hate Abby but I get why she did it I loved Joel to much to not still want to kill her but tbh seeing her on that cross was rough

I actually felt bad killing npc because their sudden deaths were so much like the sudden deaths of the games characters. It put a real emotion to killing some random cpu character ive not yet felt in any other game.
Thats why i love the last of us part 2
Yes the first game where the npc’s feel almost too alive where killing them puts weight on you. They put a lot of realistic detail into this game to really get us immersed in it.
i know right? They made the game world like youre in a real apocalipse. And thats not neceseraly a bad thing like i see many people complaing about the gory and killing aspect of the game. Many horror/survivor games aim for that heavy feeling for the player and thats fine. Its a survivor game after all.
Meh... I felt bad about killing NPC's in fallout and elder Scrolls because they had impact on the world, you kill a vendor and they are gone, or refuse to let my companions die in mass effect because they are a permanent scar on the other games and stories if you let such good characters.
TLOU2 the scars are just generic bad guys, a lot of the new characters fall a little flat, didn't like Ellie anymore, didn't like Abby, Jessie and Owen seemed alright but there wasn't enough to get invested in them and really care when they die. Just my opinion though.
I didnt care about the npc in this game... And this game try so hard to make you feel bad for unkwon npc you dont shit about until like 10 hours later in game... Thats. How you make feel bad for the any people
Plus I felt kinda bad killing Alan. Oh and Bear.

I wish "you get paid for fake reviews" was the worst conspiracy myth I read today.
And I love that you also tried to not fight at the beach. In Last of Us1 some people complained that you as the player didn't have the choice in the end. IMO that made sense because it is not an RPG but you play written, defined (and great) characters. Those two hated each other, went through hell and became like father and daughter. In the end of the second part it is the same: it's not about what I want, I have to play what Ellie wants, feels and does. And Ellie didn't see Abbey's perspective.
I agree 100% with this. Red Dead Redemption 2 is set up so there's multiple potential endings but honestly I will only ever take one of those endings as canon because it makes sense with the rest of the storyline and the other option was pointless.
Your two reviews are some of the best that I've seen or read about this game. I'm impressed by the way you expose your opinion remaining both incredibly deep and fun at the same time. To be this, I can only say: bravo!
Personally, I think this game hits a milestone in storytelling. After one month, I keep having my own flashbacks about Ellie, Joel, Abby and Lev. It's a deeply complex narrative and it takes time to process it. I can understand that some people feel disappointed about the story, but I cannot share that feeling. Thank you for giving me even more reasons to understand why.

Joel wasn't that stupid to tell strangers his name...it was Tommy. Look it up, he said it to Abby when they were running away from zombies.
Even if Joel said his name there’s nothing stupid about
@@brandonclarke436 For Joel, it would be. In a post apocalyptic world with cannibals, bandits, and psychos far or inbetween with their own little factions (as shown with Davids group in part 1) it would be wise not to throw ur name around with a group of strangers u just met, especially when u don't know their intent. Overall, it was silly for both Joel and Tommy to trust Abby and her group on the spot instead of leaving. Last time Joel met a stranger he almost beat him to death just to keep himself and Ellie safe. Only reason he let him live was cause he had a kid too. Joel is cruel. But cunning. He has mentioned it to Ellie plenty of times, he's done bad things to survive and such, knows what people are capable of and who to trust vs who not to trust.

I don't know if I was just in a mix of happiness/sadness after finishing the game or if it was my very first anxiety attack. I couldn't breath well and had a headache. Everything I was holding broke down when I heard "but I would like to try"
Luis Fernando Junior the feeling I had after finishing was content..... And they better leave well enough alone and not make another last of us. Ellie’s story is over and I couldn’t play another one with other characters. It’d be like uncharted lost legacy. Yeah it’s uncharted. But is it really?
@@ilikefartjokes I'd love to see Abby and Lev cross the ocean.
And Ellie finding some sort of peace with Dina, or someone new.

Cody Tierson the crunch is what got the game released on time. Not what made the game as good as it is. Without the crunch we would probably be looking at it released another year from now.
I think Nakeyjakey made a really interesting point in his video about the game, which I got reminded of when Matt deliberately failed the quicktime event in the final confrontation. TLOU2 is a game that uses the interactive medium to try and make the player feel bad for doing certain actions. But the player is just strapped into the rollercoaster, with no real choices about who lives and who dies.
I think this is a groundbreaking story, and it goes without saying that a game that looks this good and plays this well, would have been a lot more consistently liked if it didn't have a significant story. But I'm not sure the cinematic rollercoaster of a Naughty Dog game was the right choice to make the story work. If a player wants to make a different choice in gameplay (like with Nora or the fights between Abby and Ellie) but can't, that doesn't feel good.
No, you don't have to personally feel bad for anything. You're a passenger. This isn't a game with choices.
If you expected anything else, you don't know Naughty Dog very well. It's okay if you don't like games without player choice, but to expect it from this game then get mad when it doesn't have it is just silly.
@@jameslanier2510 exactly like this isnt an rpg game neither was the last game or any of the uncharteds it's basically playing a movie.
Wow Neil druckman himself retweeted the video that's badass
