We have to remember that Joel's decision to save Ellie had more things backing it up, than just his love for her, while it still was by far the biggest deciding factor. Remember that Joel never believed in The Fireflies' mission to return the world to what it used to be. And through out the whole game, we can see what the human race has become. Do you really think that we could just return to the old days after all this savagery. Joel knows that there's no return, he has known ever since he lost Sarah. Remember, it was not the infection that killed her, it was a normal human. Plus if you find all those tapes that The Firefly people left behind, you'll find out that they aren't even sure that the cure would work. So there was no way that Joel would've let his beloved Ellie die, for this hopeless mission that he knows never would even work, to create the cure that also might not even work at all. This game is so masterfully written.
Also, the Fireflies suck. Everywhere you go they die in the dumbest most avoidable way possible and just keep 1-uping each other. I'm surprised none of them died screaming "LEEEROOOOOOOY JEEENKIINS!!!"
He’s not letting her die for it to not work it would be too late to pass around and even if it did work it would fix the problem but it will never fix the scars left on our history
The sad part is while Joel didn't believe it, others did. Tess, Marline, hell even Ellie herself believed in it. Is why they were willing to do everything they could, is why they were willing to sacrifice it all for the sake of a new future. A chance to make things better. Tess got infected and died on her terms, but she did it because she believed. Marline died but fought for a long time for what she believed in and Ellie fought because she believed in the idea of saving humanity. Being able to see the world maybe return to some degree of normalcy. But in the end, Joel made the selfish choice. He went against the wishes of Marline, Tess and Ellie. All the lives sacrificed, all the lives lost helping both of them reach the end, were for nothing. And I'm not saying this because I hate Joel. My stance, even if everything seems hopeless, there's always a chance. There's always a way to help the world and those around you. Hell if I were in this world, I see myself either becoming a Firefly or doing what Tommy did. Make my own community for people who want to make a new start. My mom however held the same stance as Joel and in her words, "The world is f**ked, even if they did get a cure from Ellie, it won't all of a sudden end the world's problems. So you know what? F**k the world, I just want my daughter." Two different stances, both very valid and both very understandable. Is why I like this game, cause there really isn't a "right" choice. Just how you feel in terms of your morality. I hated Joel's final decision, due to my own moral standing and optimistic outlook on things. My mom agreed with Joel's final decision, both due to how she saw the games world and her being a parent herself.
Video games have come a long way it's a pity game developers don't get the recognition they deserve. The fact that The Last Of Us is a video game and it's better than most movies that came out in 2013.
So true. And yet critics and outlets want to say the original Super Mario Bros. or Zelda are better games. That mindset is so disrespectful to how far games have come.
SlowBurne imo I’d say the critics are more praising the revolution of video games. Doom is praised as one of the best FPS’s ever for pretty much inventing the genre. Innovations in video games are something to note. Zelda and Mario at the time were games that were seldom seen at the time. Many like to think many genres bloomed from those types of games. Just like how Doom bloomed a huge web of genres for the FPS, branching out in many different sub genres alike. But subjectively, seeing how far games have come, with all the new technologies and innovations, technically yes, Last Of Us is the better game.
Thats what makes me sad i will never be able to play this for the first time and get all these emmotions that i did get and thats why this game needs a sequal cause its just insanely emmotional and heartbreaking
So sad. That part left me legitimately stunned. Non-fiction stories with characters that aren't real never really affected me like that growing up, but for some reason when I saw what happened at that point in this game, I was actually emotionally shook. I had to pause the game for a minute because I couldn't believe what I just saw. I really expected them to be around for a while :' (
Henry is my top list of fave characters across all genres of games, only because the voice actor did such an amazing job, the feel and sound to his voice from 1st interaction to final scen was just fucking amazingly perfect, it brought tears to my eyes and emotion to my heart, I just wish their ending was that 0f the happily ever after rather than a hero that was lost
Took me years to realize, when Henry pointed the gun at Joel and said "It's your fault", he wasn't blaming Joel, he was blaming himself. The gun pointed at Joel was just to keep him away because he was about to kill himself. :c
@@calebmaceachern3598 Yeah but I wouldnt say 'decided'. It was instinctive. His father protective and comforting nature just floored out when seeing Ellie like this. Neither of them decided, their father-daughter relationship developed naturally and in this scene you can see it fully developed.
That is the ONLY part that made me cry, i dint care what anyone says, David was planning on hurting her in more wayd then just killing her, it is hinted at his creepiness multiple times, when Joel cut her off when she said "he tried to" and he cut her off, that got me, i knew it was an emotional game, so i didnt let myself get attached to any of the characters, but i was not prepared for that
I just realised that at 18:50 when Joes looks at his watch Ellie already reminded him of Sarah, way too early before he actually willing to show it. And at 1:31:35 he touches his watch again probably doesn't even realise it. And there's no way you could see it at the very first go. Well done, Naughty Dog.
@j0ellyfish the human kind wasn't worth saving after all, Joel has lost everything in the hands of human, maybe, maybe he refused to do so because of his past
GraffitiTurtle I just replayed the game for the 7th time and once you first play as Ellie and look through her backpack to find the toy, she comments on how she should’ve said something different
What Joel does, however brutal it is, is the right choice if you read the tapes at the hospital. Did he do the morally wrong thing? Maybe, but the Fireflies had no idea whether it was going to work, all the other trials had failed. Even if it had, they'd have kept it for themselves.
The human race was at the point of no return for how bad the world was. Even if they got a cure from ellie, it wouldn't work out. There's a few bad scenarios that could occur. So, joel made the right call in my opinion. He would've lost ellie and go through that once again, and see how the cure wouldn't work.
I love/hate how almost all the companions you fall inlove with die or leave you. Tess dies Sam dies Henry dies The Fire Fly queen dies I was really bummed Tess died
I swear Naughty Dog has one of the best casting crews in the industry. It seems almost every Naughty Dog game gets an excellent performance from main characters to supporting characters and even random NPC's you hear once or twice. Great acting can play a vital role in immersion. Makes you get a sense of the fear, anger and emotions these characters go through. To this day this is still my all time favorite game. Well done Naughty Dog.
1:31:35 Blink and you'll miss it but you see Joel just give his watch the smallest little stroke when talking about struggling to survive after losing loved ones.
@@MayModnar People seem to blur the lines between the story and the game play. Story-wise, the game is superb. among the best and I wouldn't fault anyone for saying "the best ever" in that regard. Gameplay wise is a different story. Although by no means terrible and for what it is, it is actually pretty good but very repetitive, simplistic, and not enough variety. I really hope they add to it in the second one.
@@Derek_The_Magnificent_Bastard Yeah I agree with you on that! I still play it to this day, but I can't keep playing it even for a hour because it's pretty linear and the replay value is basically inexistent, but the game was made to be focused on the story, so I guess they wanted to make it more acessible to every type of player gameplay-wise. This game is still a 10/10 to me, regardless XD.
Goddamn. The scene at 57:36 is one of my favorites in any game. Both characters are forced to acknowledge the growing connection between both of them, and they react to it in different ways. Ellie is reaching out, trying to make the bond stronger. Joel is trying to burn the bridge before he himself gets burned. And I think this is why he says "You have no idea what loss is". He thinks that because she still wants to connect with people/him, that she hasn't been burned like he has. But Ellie has lost more people than Joel. Her mom, her friend, etc (hard to calculate and determine how much it all equals but still). The difference between them is how they deal with loss/grief. And the way that they do is also a parallel to their roles in the narrative. Ellie's optimism is that light in the darkness, the one last budding flower of hope in the world. Both for humanity and for Joel. Meanwhile, Joel is the pragmatic/realistic perspective; humanity died not long after the outbreak. The things that he, and other humans, had to do to survive... turned them all into something else. Not people, not mindless infected, but maybe something in between. His faith in the world and the things that used to be normal in it are long gone. Family, relationships, etc. So when he finds himself falling for the weakness that is caring for someone else, he doesn't know how to react at all. Ellie said that she would be more scared with someone else. The truth is, even when they have each other, they are both still scared. But for different reasons. Fucking amazing writing Edit: I have not played part 2 yet, so pls refrain from posting spoilery content. Thank you gents
@@fuzzybrickstudios2315 probably because it was a comment posted on a 6 year old video, genius. Also, who gives a shit about likes? The number of likes doesn't make a comment better or worse/more or less valid. Lastly, if you think that is a "full on essay", your reading level is guaranteed to be of the 3rd grade, at best. Get off of youtube and educate yourself
It's such a beautiful story... Whenever something seems to be perfect, it always ends up turning bad. Henry and Sam, the Cure, yet it's so amazing at the same time. A mixture of the harsh world they live in, with remnants of the world they USED to live in.
@Gladys Basco Guns have a tendency to break. It's an apocalypse. He needs spare parts as well as bartering goods. He must get those back as his payment.
Tess was bad ass. I would have preferred a sequal in times when the infection spread; Tommy's stunt in the firefly's, the rising of Joel and Tess, & Ellie after Riley etc. But I'll just settle at tlou1 🏁
nice opinion bro, i give the game 10/10, IGN was right. i really found the dialouge to be superb. Like when dina hits the joint and asks Ellie to rate their kiss the 3rd time it was mentioned in the story, in the first 2 hours... at that point. and who couldnt forget that cover of 'take one me' by Ellie at dina's request. she then goes on to say "you should have kissed me that night" wow i think i cried. I think the game really nails the target audience of people with severe cringe. The cringe of us Pt.2 will go down as a masterpiece.
Interesting how Ellie tells Sam that she’s scared of ending up alone and that’s exactly what ends up happening to her in TLOU2... still salty about that
honestly in my head only tlou and then everything that happens before the events of the second game [up until that night, you know the one] is canon ahaha
Sadio Salah nah man she left Ellie because Ellie sought out for revenge one last time and she was like I can’t do it anymore. At the very end of the game Ellie comes home to an empty house to find Dina and the baby gone, two fingers gone, and no longer able to play the guitar. Once again... still salty asf lol.
@@beeninthisfandomlongerthan9500 as much as it seems cool that it happened like that it's still didn't felt like the devs were really going for it because if they were Ellie would have been feeling terrified by the fact that Dina has left the house and she is all alone so I don't think it was intentional but it's definitely a thing I didn't saw coming. :D
“I swear”-Joel. We had to wait 6-7 years for the Sequel to see what happened after this. It better have been worth the wait. Edit: this game is just so good, every single character is just interesting Edit 2: after reading the “leak” and seeing them because by God Naughty Dog has taken forever. If it is all true , and it looks true, then I am not only pissed off, but I am also disappointed and disgusted. What a mess
In the end, Joel refuses about the operation about ellie because the fireflies actually already had a lot of failed experiments about the immune people and none worked and they died. Joel was afraid that ellie will just be one of those failed ones ..so yeah
I think even if given 100% chance of finding the cure, Joel still would not sacrifice Ellie. That just seems to be his character -- determined, loyal, and loving to a fault.
Definitely a flawed character for sure, but refreshing in a way. Not everyone is a super hero and always does the "right" thing. Joel is selfish and insecure and I think it is 100% certain he would have killed everyone in that hospital regardless if he knew they could find a cure for mankind. Also after seeing the lengths they had to go through and the people they had to kill, is mankind really worth saving in that world versus the person you care about the most?
I don't consider this course of action to be flawed at all. Ellie would have died in vain; even if they managed to create a vaccine, it'd never get distributed to the rest of mankind. The Fireflies would get killed off by raiders or infected in time, long before they reach any other quarantine zones.
^ Yes, it would be almost impossible to restore mankind, but who wouldn't take their chances when they have a possible vaccine in their possession? If you still believe in humanity at that period of time, then why wouldn't you take your chances even if your mission had a very slim chance of being accomplished? Life is too unpredictable to have a closed mind. I'm sorry, but I think Joel was selfish to strip humanity of that opportunity, even if it had a 1 percent chance of working.
There is also the problem that somehow doesn't occur to anyone when playing this: what good is a vaccine supposed to do? The hordes of infected will still exist. If you're getting bitten by infected, you're probably not going to be making it out alive, vaccine or no. Not to mention that this vaccine doesn't begin to solve the societal collapse they're in. There were still be packs of murderous rapists and cannibals. Never mind how the fireflies are supposed to hand out a vaccine to organizations that would kill them. But this leads to the problem with most zombie movies, which is that realistically there's no way these infected would be a threat. How many infected did Joel and Ellie kill? How many infected, maximum, can they leave behind? 2. Even if you say that their rate of infected killing is a statistical outlier, it would only take an average kill rate of over 1 per person for the infected to have a negative population growth. It doesn't make sense for there to be hordes of infected, unless they have some means of reproduction beyond infecting a normal human. So it doesn't make sense to say Joel was justified because the operation would've probably done no good; it's like saying he was justified because the infected can easily be killed by firearms, or because they never should've been this bad in the first place. You have to take the moral dilemma at face value: do you trade the life of someone you love, to drastically improve everyone's circumstances?
I came back here after Last of Us II and srsly all Joel-Ellie scenes are making me cry right now. I love Joel's character too. When I think back on it now, I feel that Joel is really brave and loyal. I mean, you know you're delivering a very special person to take part in making a cure for the infection and you refuse to let her be put in danger because of that. He really is Father goals. It's like him vs the world. But I agree, no matter if the cure was made, humanity will forever be lost. The amount of people who died and got infected vs the people who are surviving until then.
59:04 - 59:24 = those words from ellie. You can just fill the emotion in her voice. She was really scared to lose him. The whole conversation between them too here was just masterful in all sense of the word. 👏
Fans: It's too bad this game never got the sequel it deserved. Naughty Dog: Have you played TLOU2? Fans: It's too bad this game never got the sequel it DESERVED.
you people start to sound like clowns. TLOU2 is a direct sequel to what Joel's choice caused. He doomed the world for Ellie and just like how Joel was ok with killing everyone in the hospital, Abby was ok with killing the person who killed her father. TLOU2 wouldn't work if we didn't have Joel die. Naughty Dog knew people cared about Joel which is why Ellie's drive in part 2 is the same that the player gets. We want to kill the people responsible for killing Joel. The game then does an 180 and puts us in Abby's shoes. At the end we see that Ellie's path wouldn't get her happy and that she needed to forgive Abby. She does so when she sees the lenghts Abby would go to save Lev. Much like Joel did for Ellie. Throughout the whole game she hadn't forgiven Joel for what he did in part 1. It was only when she saw Abby for the last time that she understood. Ellie's vengeance cost her everything. It cost her friends, it crippled Tommy for life, her lover, her home. People being this dumb because Joel died is annoying. Go ahead, miss out on another great game because you're childish.
@@Oimae but they still straight up lied to us that the dynamic duo for Joel and Ellie was coming back. They were the heart and soul of this game and to have that taken away less than 2 hours is really off putting.
Zephyrus The reason TLOU2 is a bad sequel is because of the storytelling, they kill of Joe in such a stupid manner when he’s shown to be so much more vigilant than to trust strangers and tell them their location AND names, in general bad storytelling, how are you going to have a new character introduced to kill Joe and then setup a whole arc where Ellie has to go off and kill her and kill a bunch of people to then not even do so, have her cripple tommy, and have her kill Jess to just have the message that revenge isn’t good isn’t good storytelling nor is it satisfying, Ellie loses everything and Abby gets away with it.
The soundtrack, the scenery, the characters, their interactions, the story, the dialogue and how everything comes together…this game is more than a game, it’s an experience. I felt myself transform the further I progressed. Last time I was moved like this was playing through the Mass Effect trilogy. These are the memories I’ll always look back on fondly cuz they really did leave a lasting impression 🥺❤️
The last of us 2 is all about that revenge and Dina (she belongs to the streets). It's funny how ellie told sam shes afraid of ending up alone and in part 2 she really ends up alone. Dina for the streets tho fr
I don't usually play story games, but I've played this game recently. I just don't have the words. In my opinion, this can not be classified as just a game. It's genius in its purest form.
The fact that ending of part 2 is just like what Ellie told Joel the moment in 59:04 its just sad af.... And now Ellie doesnt have Joel anymore... Can't get over it and I dont think I ever will as a fan of this franchise
Daniel Tigas that’s the strength of not seeing the aftermath. when you don’t know what happened or see what happened, you’re own mind goes wild trying to imagine what happened. that’s even why the in game death animations cut off abruptly
Ngl the flashback sequences in Part 2 were pretty good. I wish Part 2 was more like that in the beginning then tragedy strickes probably 6 hours into the game. I just hate THAT WE DIDNT GET ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY AS JOEL. I FUCKING HATE ABBY
See right there people this is a true masterpiece. Game that deserves 10/10 not like a garbage sequel. It's sad how Bruce Straley left company in 2017 if He was still a director for Tlou 2... Can you imagine this? Way better story and no trash characters like Abby.
@@RagingUtai and you are like the others that still think that we are upset only for Joel's death. Cmon, we are irritated for how they poorly portrait Joel, the most skilled and wanted person, feared by all the fireflies, feared by Marlene, transformed into an imbecille who threw away 20 years of survival instincts, just to be killed like a completely brainless idiot, without any cautious ways of self-defence like in the previous game. I repeat myself, we are not upset about Joel's death, we are angry for HOW he dies, that is a completely different thing. This argurment is completely legit, but hey, we don't understand the game because we are "brainless people without a critical method of judgement"
RagingUtai i could write an essay on why TLOU 2 is bad. I’ll try to keep it simple. The biggest difference (not issue) between the two is that story-wise, one game focuses on its characters while the other one focuses on themes. TLOU 1 does an amazing job in the aspect of focusing on it’s character development, you gain just enough time with the characters to feel for them so when or if they die you’d feel something and it doesn’t come across as just a thematic gimmick. The themes and even main plot of TLOU 1 aren’t the focus but simply serve as a spice to actual story of the game which is the relationship between joel and ellie and they execute that in ways which feel natural and subtle. TLOU 2 focuses entirely on it’s themes which is fine, a lot of good books and films focus solely on their themes. This was reason enough for a lot of people to dislike it over TLOU 1 which is unfair imo but understandable, however it was executed extremely poorly and in the most intrusive, jarringly hamfisted way possible, so much so that characters and plot elements would operate in ridiculous and at times overtly hypocritical ways just so that the player could be reminded over and over again what those themes are, those themes being that revenge and killing is bad (themes that TLOU 1 already did and with much less spoon feeding)
RagingUtai Pacing of flashbacks, Abby’s development is weirdly placed throughout the game, the themes of “breaking the cycle of revenge” is hypocritical when the entire game is Ellie creating new cycles of her own by killing EVERYBODY except the one person she aimed towards getting, Abby’s whole cast of friends are mostly shit people and it’s pretty hard to sympathize with her at all despite the game spending hours trying to make her look better (which ties back into the pacing and placement of the flashbacks), Abby not even pondering about how Joel saved her moments before she kills him and Abby’s eagerness to kill Dina even after hearing of her pregnancy really makes me question why Abby was even humanized for so long in the game when she’s still a piece of shit, the game paints Joel as a villain for a lot of the things he did but honestly, most of what he did wasn’t even evil, the Fireflys instigate the entire situation at the hospital, don’t give him any of the promised rewards, and hide the fact that they’ve done this exact procedure before and it’s failed. the Fireflys couldn’t even make a cure that would “save humanity” like they insist on peddling, since they had no real means of mass producing and shipping, and a vaccine is not a cure to begin with. moving Joel’s death to the beginning of the game in the most in your face shock moment isn’t brave and it’s disingenuous to his character because despite the fact that it’s stated that they were working towards being more accepting and trusting of outsiders that makes NO fucking sense for Joel or Tommy to give out their names and their ties to Jackson in a room of people with guns no matter what excuse you give because they were ACTIVELY patrolling and cleaning out the surrounding areas. the final fight realistically shouldn’t have even happened considering Abby’s health and Ellie’s sudden forgiveness comes completely out of left field and had poorly delivered on the core theme of the ending because as I’ve stated before all she did was kill everybody she came in contact with prior to that moment, even the fat rattler dude who tells her where Abby is, despite being pretty close in the game to when she decides to suddenly turn a new leaf. Nobody wanted Joel to have a fairy tale ending, that’s an argument you made - maybe some people in the minority would’ve preferred he die in the third installment, and some wanted him to live, but realistically most people knew full well Joel would die, and to base the entire game off his death you need to make sure the events leading up to that death are solid and the fact that it’s so questionable as to whether or not Joel would’ve changed THAT much in between the first game and the second game doesn’t help. Even people who like the game tend to admit the game’s flashbacks should’ve been reorganized and less of a clusterfuck. Why not play as Abby for much longer well before Joel’s death without giving away who it is she’s after, so when we get to that death there’s an actual emotional conflict. There’s hardly any reason to give a shit about either Ellie OR Abby by the end.
before last of us two came out some guy on 4chan played it already and told everyone that ending pulled off a metal gear solid five phantom pain kind of ending
From the minute we see the effects of the outbreak first hand, to meeting Tess, and so on, this game was like a full fledged feature length film, and it was amazing.
nice opinion bro, i give the game 10/10, IGN was right. i really found the dialouge to be superb. Like when dina hits the joint and asks Ellie to rate their kiss the 3rd time it was mentioned in the story, in the first 2 hours... at that point. and who couldnt forget that cover of 'take one me' by Ellie at dina's request. she then goes on to say "you should have kissed me that night" wow i think i cried. I think the game really nails the target audience of people with severe cringe. The cringe of us Pt.2 will go down as a masterpiece.
even with the ackward cut from sarah sleeping to being held in front of that soldier with no context... the scene is so well written and acted that I tear up
The only way is see Naughty Dog ever redeeming itself as a studio is a prequel where we play as young Joel a few years after his daughter died. I’m so fucking disappointed in TLOU 2. Not even mad, just disappointed like a father whose favourite child started doing crack for no apparent reason.
Joel 100% did the right thing. The infected were never the problem, humanity was the problem and the way it reacted to the outbreak. Humanity bombed its own cities, destroyed its own civilisation and culture after the outbreak. It killed each other without mercy and at will. Joel saw how barbaric humanities reaction was when they killed his unarmed child. The only humanity showed in the WHOLE game was Joel’s action in saving Ellie. Why would he trust these people with a ‘vaccine?’ Given the way humanity has behaved. The vaccine was always a red herring, it was humanity which led to the downfall of humanity.
18:03 it's never brought up but I'm assuming Joel told Tess about Sarah at some point in the past and Tess saying "I get it" is basically her saying to him: "I know why you don't wanna do this, she reminds you too much of your daughter." Maybe I'm reading to much into it but for me it's pretty clear ever since I played it the first time.
man this is great 1080p movie version, but how i wish there were some gameplay to it like the last one you did. i want my friends to watch this but i dont think they will fully understand the story if it jumps from cutscene to cutscene, still a good one though for those who want to relive masterpiece.
Well there are other videos with all cutscenes plus important gameplay parts to the story on RUclips. Just search for Last of Us game movie/cutscenes gameplay or something similar and you'll find a bunch of them.
"After all we've been through. Everything that I've done. It can't be for nothing." -ELLIE "Imma let Abby go, cuz I guess for some reason, I grew sympathy for her. After the player has played too much hours as the fucked up person that killed the one person that cared for me over anything else, and taught me to live, fight, and enjoy life. I killed everyone else, I left my 'family'. She took my ability to play guitar, the last thing I had left from Joel. But, u know, it was all for nothing, I guess. She can be happy now, while I am ALONE." -Neil Duckman, I freaking guess...
Really makes you wonder how many times neil had to be told "no" by any other writers just to get TLOU1 the way it was. Too bad no one was here to do that.
We have to remember that Joel's decision to save Ellie had more things backing it up, than just his love for her, while it still was by far the biggest deciding factor. Remember that Joel never believed in The Fireflies' mission to return the world to what it used to be. And through out the whole game, we can see what the human race has become. Do you really think that we could just return to the old days after all this savagery. Joel knows that there's no return, he has known ever since he lost Sarah. Remember, it was not the infection that killed her, it was a normal human. Plus if you find all those tapes that The Firefly people left behind, you'll find out that they aren't even sure that the cure would work. So there was no way that Joel would've let his beloved Ellie die, for this hopeless mission that he knows never would even work, to create the cure that also might not even work at all.

The sad part is while Joel didn't believe it, others did. Tess, Marline, hell even Ellie herself believed in it. Is why they were willing to do everything they could, is why they were willing to sacrifice it all for the sake of a new future. A chance to make things better. Tess got infected and died on her terms, but she did it because she believed. Marline died but fought for a long time for what she believed in and Ellie fought because she believed in the idea of saving humanity. Being able to see the world maybe return to some degree of normalcy.
But in the end, Joel made the selfish choice. He went against the wishes of Marline, Tess and Ellie. All the lives sacrificed, all the lives lost helping both of them reach the end, were for nothing. And I'm not saying this because I hate Joel. My stance, even if everything seems hopeless, there's always a chance. There's always a way to help the world and those around you. Hell if I were in this world, I see myself either becoming a Firefly or doing what Tommy did. Make my own community for people who want to make a new start. My mom however held the same stance as Joel and in her words, "The world is f**ked, even if they did get a cure from Ellie, it won't all of a sudden end the world's problems. So you know what? F**k the world, I just want my daughter."
Two different stances, both very valid and both very understandable. Is why I like this game, cause there really isn't a "right" choice. Just how you feel in terms of your morality. I hated Joel's final decision, due to my own moral standing and optimistic outlook on things. My mom agreed with Joel's final decision, both due to how she saw the games world and her being a parent herself.
Video games have come a long way it's a pity game developers don't get the recognition they deserve. The fact that The Last Of Us is a video game and it's better than most movies that came out in 2013.
Well it was praised by critics, won many awards and was considered by many to be the best game ever.
And shipped over 10 million units with the PS3 and PS4 versions combined.
Kratos4ever it's sold over 17 million copies as of a few weeks ago. Amazing game.
So true. And yet critics and outlets want to say the original Super Mario Bros. or Zelda are better games. That mindset is so disrespectful to how far games have come.
SlowBurne imo I’d say the critics are more praising the revolution of video games. Doom is praised as one of the best FPS’s ever for pretty much inventing the genre. Innovations in video games are something to note. Zelda and Mario at the time were games that were seldom seen at the time. Many like to think many genres bloomed from those types of games. Just like how Doom bloomed a huge web of genres for the FPS, branching out in many different sub genres alike. But subjectively, seeing how far games have come, with all the new technologies and innovations, technically yes, Last Of Us is the better game.
When Sam and Henry died it was like a gut punch, I was not mentally prepared for that scene when I first played it.
Thats what makes me sad i will never be able to play this for the first time and get all these emmotions that i did get and thats why this game needs a sequal cause its just insanely emmotional and heartbreaking
JaxGames420 I came down to the comments section when that part happened

i haven't cried that hard since i was a fucking kid. god, how awful
Man. The quickness of how fast and dark Sam and Henry’s story ends, always genuinely disturbs me

So sad. That part left me legitimately stunned.
Non-fiction stories with characters that aren't real never really affected me like that growing up, but for some reason when I saw what happened at that point in this game, I was actually emotionally shook. I had to pause the game for a minute because I couldn't believe what I just saw. I really expected them to be around for a while :' (
It was so sad too
Henry is my top list of fave characters across all genres of games, only because the voice actor did such an amazing job, the feel and sound to his voice from 1st interaction to final scen was just fucking amazingly perfect, it brought tears to my eyes and emotion to my heart, I just wish their ending was that 0f the happily ever after rather than a hero that was lost

Baby girl is what joel calls Sarah so yes that's when joel decided ellie is his daughter.
@@calebmaceachern3598 Yeah but I wouldnt say 'decided'. It was instinctive. His father protective and comforting nature just floored out when seeing Ellie like this. Neither of them decided, their father-daughter relationship developed naturally and in this scene you can see it fully developed.
That is the ONLY part that made me cry, i dint care what anyone says, David was planning on hurting her in more wayd then just killing her, it is hinted at his creepiness multiple times, when Joel cut her off when she said "he tried to" and he cut her off, that got me, i knew it was an emotional game, so i didnt let myself get attached to any of the characters, but i was not prepared for that
Yep, this scene and the giraffes one are the ones that I got REALLY emotional
I just realised that at 18:50 when Joes looks at his watch Ellie already reminded him of Sarah, way too early before he actually willing to show it.

GraffitiTurtle I just replayed the game for the 7th time and once you first play as Ellie and look through her backpack to find the toy, she comments on how she should’ve said something different
What Joel does, however brutal it is, is the right choice if you read the tapes at the hospital. Did he do the morally wrong thing? Maybe, but the Fireflies had no idea whether it was going to work, all the other trials had failed. Even if it had, they'd have kept it for themselves.
The Fireflies aren't exactly the brightest minds around.
The human race was at the point of no return for how bad the world was. Even if they got a cure from ellie, it wouldn't work out. There's a few bad scenarios that could occur. So, joel made the right call in my opinion. He would've lost ellie and go through that once again, and see how the cure wouldn't work.
@@65firered BUT YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES, IF TEN MILLION FIREFLIES

In YOUR opinion!
Do people actually think this game is overrated? Geez, I thought everyone agreed that TLOU is one of the best games ever made. (If not THE best.)
@@MayModnar People seem to blur the lines between the story and the game play. Story-wise, the game is superb. among the best and I wouldn't fault anyone for saying "the best ever" in that regard. Gameplay wise is a different story. Although by no means terrible and for what it is, it is actually pretty good but very repetitive, simplistic, and not enough variety. I really hope they add to it in the second one.
@@Derek_The_Magnificent_Bastard Yeah I agree with you on that! I still play it to this day, but I can't keep playing it even for a hour because it's pretty linear and the replay value is basically inexistent, but the game was made to be focused on the story, so I guess they wanted to make it more acessible to every type of player gameplay-wise. This game is still a 10/10 to me, regardless XD.

@@MurderOfCroz Nah, a nerd is an enthusiast, this guy's a brown nose.
Goddamn. The scene at 57:36 is one of my favorites in any game. Both characters are forced to acknowledge the growing connection between both of them, and they react to it in different ways. Ellie is reaching out, trying to make the bond stronger. Joel is trying to burn the bridge before he himself gets burned. And I think this is why he says "You have no idea what loss is". He thinks that because she still wants to connect with people/him, that she hasn't been burned like he has. But Ellie has lost more people than Joel. Her mom, her friend, etc (hard to calculate and determine how much it all equals but still). The difference between them is how they deal with loss/grief. And the way that they do is also a parallel to their roles in the narrative. Ellie's optimism is that light in the darkness, the one last budding flower of hope in the world. Both for humanity and for Joel. Meanwhile, Joel is the pragmatic/realistic perspective; humanity died not long after the outbreak. The things that he, and other humans, had to do to survive... turned them all into something else. Not people, not mindless infected, but maybe something in between. His faith in the world and the things that used to be normal in it are long gone. Family, relationships, etc. So when he finds himself falling for the weakness that is caring for someone else, he doesn't know how to react at all. Ellie said that she would be more scared with someone else. The truth is, even when they have each other, they are both still scared. But for different reasons. Fucking amazing writing

I keep coming back for this scene... I don't know why but this scene stuck out to me ever since I first played this game in 2013
The writing and acting in this is so good. I’m like stunned
Bill was a great character. I wish we got to see Joel during those 20 years
In the end, Joel refuses about the operation about ellie because the fireflies actually already had a lot of failed experiments about the immune people and none worked and they died. Joel was afraid that ellie will just be one of those failed ones ..so yeah
I think even if given 100% chance of finding the cure, Joel still would not sacrifice Ellie. That just seems to be his character -- determined, loyal, and loving to a fault.
Definitely a flawed character for sure, but refreshing in a way. Not everyone is a super hero and always does the "right" thing. Joel is selfish and insecure and I think it is 100% certain he would have killed everyone in that hospital regardless if he knew they could find a cure for mankind. Also after seeing the lengths they had to go through and the people they had to kill, is mankind really worth saving in that world versus the person you care about the most?
I don't consider this course of action to be flawed at all. Ellie would have died in vain; even if they managed to create a vaccine, it'd never get distributed to the rest of mankind. The Fireflies would get killed off by raiders or infected in time, long before they reach any other quarantine zones.
^ Yes, it would be almost impossible to restore mankind, but who wouldn't take their chances when they have a possible vaccine in their possession? If you still believe in humanity at that period of time, then why wouldn't you take your chances even if your mission had a very slim chance of being accomplished? Life is too unpredictable to have a closed mind. I'm sorry, but I think Joel was selfish to strip humanity of that opportunity, even if it had a 1 percent chance of working.
There is also the problem that somehow doesn't occur to anyone when playing this: what good is a vaccine supposed to do? The hordes of infected will still exist. If you're getting bitten by infected, you're probably not going to be making it out alive, vaccine or no. Not to mention that this vaccine doesn't begin to solve the societal collapse they're in. There were still be packs of murderous rapists and cannibals. Never mind how the fireflies are supposed to hand out a vaccine to organizations that would kill them.
But this leads to the problem with most zombie movies, which is that realistically there's no way these infected would be a threat. How many infected did Joel and Ellie kill? How many infected, maximum, can they leave behind? 2. Even if you say that their rate of infected killing is a statistical outlier, it would only take an average kill rate of over 1 per person for the infected to have a negative population growth. It doesn't make sense for there to be hordes of infected, unless they have some means of reproduction beyond infecting a normal human.
So it doesn't make sense to say Joel was justified because the operation would've probably done no good; it's like saying he was justified because the infected can easily be killed by firearms, or because they never should've been this bad in the first place. You have to take the moral dilemma at face value: do you trade the life of someone you love, to drastically improve everyone's circumstances?
I came back here after Last of Us II and srsly all Joel-Ellie scenes are making me cry right now. I love Joel's character too. When I think back on it now, I feel that Joel is really brave and loyal. I mean, you know you're delivering a very special person to take part in making a cure for the infection and you refuse to let her be put in danger because of that. He really is Father goals. It's like him vs the world. But I agree, no matter if the cure was made, humanity will forever be lost. The amount of people who died and got infected vs the people who are surviving until then.
Yeah um well...h- he is kinda dead

Fans: It's too bad this game never got the sequel it DESERVED.
Fucking preach
you people start to sound like clowns. TLOU2 is a direct sequel to what Joel's choice caused. He doomed the world for Ellie and just like how Joel was ok with killing everyone in the hospital, Abby was ok with killing the person who killed her father.
TLOU2 wouldn't work if we didn't have Joel die. Naughty Dog knew people cared about Joel which is why Ellie's drive in part 2 is the same that the player gets. We want to kill the people responsible for killing Joel.
The game then does an 180 and puts us in Abby's shoes. At the end we see that Ellie's path wouldn't get her happy and that she needed to forgive Abby. She does so when she sees the lenghts Abby would go to save Lev. Much like Joel did for Ellie. Throughout the whole game she hadn't forgiven Joel for what he did in part 1. It was only when she saw Abby for the last time that she understood.
Ellie's vengeance cost her everything. It cost her friends, it crippled Tommy for life, her lover, her home.
People being this dumb because Joel died is annoying. Go ahead, miss out on another great game because you're childish.

Zephyrus The reason TLOU2 is a bad sequel is because of the storytelling, they kill of Joe in such a stupid manner when he’s shown to be so much more vigilant than to trust strangers and tell them their location AND names, in general bad storytelling, how are you going to have a new character introduced to kill Joe and then setup a whole arc where Ellie has to go off and kill her and kill a bunch of people to then not even do so, have her cripple tommy, and have her kill Jess to just have the message that revenge isn’t good isn’t good storytelling nor is it satisfying, Ellie loses everything and Abby gets away with it.

@@skoobydu1364 that what I’m saying like, What sequel never heard of it?
Ellie... God damn i love her so much...
All gamers protect Ellie.
who's back here to celebrate the one and only last of us game?
Count me in
Who's here after hearing about The Last Of Us Part 2?
Too much hype and there is no way I'm ever going to buy a plebstation. Gotta see what this shit is all about.
me
GuestOfGregoryHouse me bro
Me also :D
ooooh yea^^
I don't usually play story games, but I've played this game recently. I just don't have the words. In my opinion, this can not be classified as just a game. It's genius in its purest form.
I had to come back after me and my sibling played The Last of Us 2. I’m glad I came back to watch the original masterpiece.
Came back to relive the good ole days back when TLOU2 wasn’t a thing and this masterpiece was the one thing I couldn’t get enough of.
Saddest thing about TLOU is that Joel definitely lost that job
The fact that ending of part 2 is just like what Ellie told Joel the moment in 59:04 its just sad af.... And now Ellie doesnt have Joel anymore... Can't get over it and I dont think I ever will as a fan of this franchise
Time to drown my sorrows. At least I can relive the good memories before the last of us gone to shit
They even managed to ruin the experience of the 1st game
so those guys during the winter are cannibals?
Bee Pedo got what he deserved. I do wish they would have showed the aftermath. I really wanted to see what was left XD XD XD XD XD
Nick Hannah I personally did not want to see that shit. A part of me was a little curious but the rest of me knew that I would have puked
@@nickhannah9543 I think it would look like spilled lasagna with bones and two eyeballs
Daniel Tigas that’s the strength of not seeing the aftermath. when you don’t know what happened or see what happened, you’re own mind goes wild trying to imagine what happened. that’s even why the in game death animations cut off abruptly
@General Dritz well that's all three bad things combined into one
The first 10 minutes of this game was better than the entire Part 2. I got this game day one and it will forever be my favorite game
Ngl the flashback sequences in Part 2 were pretty good. I wish Part 2 was more like that in the beginning then tragedy strickes probably 6 hours into the game. I just hate THAT WE DIDNT GET ENOUGH TIME TO PLAY AS JOEL. I FUCKING HATE ABBY
Your in denial.
@@dadee9643 yeah the flashbacks were so fucking good. probably the highlights of the game.
Joel: Henry no....
(Gun shot)
Ellie: oh my god....
I'm still shook from that scene
See right there people this is a true masterpiece. Game that deserves 10/10 not like a garbage sequel. It's sad how Bruce Straley left company in 2017 if He was still a director for Tlou 2... Can you imagine this? Way better story and no trash characters like Abby.
@@RagingUtai and you are like the others that still think that we are upset only for Joel's death. Cmon, we are irritated for how they poorly portrait Joel, the most skilled and wanted person, feared by all the fireflies, feared by Marlene, transformed into an imbecille who threw away 20 years of survival instincts, just to be killed like a completely brainless idiot, without any cautious ways of self-defence like in the previous game. I repeat myself, we are not upset about Joel's death, we are angry for HOW he dies, that is a completely different thing. This argurment is completely legit, but hey, we don't understand the game because we are "brainless people without a critical method of judgement"
RagingUtai joel dying isn’t the only issue with that soap opera high school quality fanfic of a sequel
RagingUtai Joel’s death is hardly the biggest issue in the game.
RagingUtai i could write an essay on why TLOU 2 is bad. I’ll try to keep it simple.
The biggest difference (not issue) between the two is that story-wise, one game focuses on its characters while the other one focuses on themes. TLOU 1 does an amazing job in the aspect of focusing on it’s character development, you gain just enough time with the characters to feel for them so when or if they die you’d feel something and it doesn’t come across as just a thematic gimmick. The themes and even main plot of TLOU 1 aren’t the focus but simply serve as a spice to actual story of the game which is the relationship between joel and ellie and they execute that in ways which feel natural and subtle.
TLOU 2 focuses entirely on it’s themes which is fine, a lot of good books and films focus solely on their themes. This was reason enough for a lot of people to dislike it over TLOU 1 which is unfair imo but understandable, however it was executed extremely poorly and in the most intrusive, jarringly hamfisted way possible, so much so that characters and plot elements would operate in ridiculous and at times overtly hypocritical ways just so that the player could be reminded over and over again what those themes are, those themes being that revenge and killing is bad (themes that TLOU 1 already did and with much less spoon feeding)
RagingUtai Pacing of flashbacks, Abby’s development is weirdly placed throughout the game, the themes of “breaking the cycle of revenge” is hypocritical when the entire game is Ellie creating new cycles of her own by killing EVERYBODY except the one person she aimed towards getting, Abby’s whole cast of friends are mostly shit people and it’s pretty hard to sympathize with her at all despite the game spending hours trying to make her look better (which ties back into the pacing and placement of the flashbacks), Abby not even pondering about how Joel saved her moments before she kills him and Abby’s eagerness to kill Dina even after hearing of her pregnancy really makes me question why Abby was even humanized for so long in the game when she’s still a piece of shit, the game paints Joel as a villain for a lot of the things he did but honestly, most of what he did wasn’t even evil, the Fireflys instigate the entire situation at the hospital, don’t give him any of the promised rewards, and hide the fact that they’ve done this exact procedure before and it’s failed. the Fireflys couldn’t even make a cure that would “save humanity” like they insist on peddling, since they had no real means of mass producing and shipping, and a vaccine is not a cure to begin with. moving Joel’s death to the beginning of the game in the most in your face shock moment isn’t brave and it’s disingenuous to his character because despite the fact that it’s stated that they were working towards being more accepting and trusting of outsiders that makes NO fucking sense for Joel or Tommy to give out their names and their ties to Jackson in a room of people with guns no matter what excuse you give because they were ACTIVELY patrolling and cleaning out the surrounding areas. the final fight realistically shouldn’t have even happened considering Abby’s health and Ellie’s sudden forgiveness comes completely out of left field and had poorly delivered on the core theme of the ending because as I’ve stated before all she did was kill everybody she came in contact with prior to that moment, even the fat rattler dude who tells her where Abby is, despite being pretty close in the game to when she decides to suddenly turn a new leaf. Nobody wanted Joel to have a fairy tale ending, that’s an argument you made - maybe some people in the minority would’ve preferred he die in the third installment, and some wanted him to live, but realistically most people knew full well Joel would die, and to base the entire game off his death you need to make sure the events leading up to that death are solid and the fact that it’s so questionable as to whether or not Joel would’ve changed THAT much in between the first game and the second game doesn’t help. Even people who like the game tend to admit the game’s flashbacks should’ve been reorganized and less of a clusterfuck. Why not play as Abby for much longer well before Joel’s death without giving away who it is she’s after, so when we get to that death there’s an actual emotional conflict. There’s hardly any reason to give a shit about either Ellie OR Abby by the end.

You’ve got to admit, the gameplay wasn’t bad, and the game itself wasn’t bad either. It just had dull plot points

"I'm scared of ending up alone." -Ellie
Exactly what happened in TOU2. Sad.
It’s a shame this game never got a sequel. Such an amazing game.
I know right, oh well anyways i hope it NEVER does, the game shines for it self
yes doesn't need one anyway if they did the would prolly f it up this is a diamond in the rough
@MILES SOMBRERO r/wooooosh
@MILES SOMBRERO you didn't get his joke
@MILES SOMBRERO what kinda joke is that?
The Last of Us- The Godfather, Breaking Bad
The Last of Us Part 2- 13 Reasons Why, Riverdale
Holy Crap, now that’s an insult. TLOU 2 really is that bad
before last of us two came out some guy on 4chan played it already and told everyone that ending pulled off a metal gear solid five phantom pain kind of ending
From the minute we see the effects of the outbreak first hand, to meeting Tess, and so on, this game was like a full fledged feature length film, and it was amazing.
Ellie curses like HitGirl from Kick A** series
Who is here after the sadness in most of us caused by the last of us part 2 ?
Yeah fuck Neil And anita fucking sjws
Last of is 2? What's that? Oh you mean golfing simulator now with LGBT characters
Yep that's the one ;)
nice opinion bro, i give the game 10/10, IGN was right. i really found the dialouge to be superb. Like when dina hits the joint and asks Ellie to rate their kiss the 3rd time it was mentioned in the story, in the first 2 hours... at that point. and who couldnt forget that cover of 'take one me' by Ellie at dina's request. she then goes on to say "you should have kissed me that night" wow i think i cried. I think the game really nails the target audience of people with severe cringe. The cringe of us Pt.2 will go down as a masterpiece.
even with the ackward cut from sarah sleeping to being held in front of that soldier with no context... the scene is so well written and acted that I tear up
Missing the part when uncle Tommy calls looking for her dad.
The only way is see Naughty Dog ever redeeming itself as a studio is a prequel where we play as young Joel a few years after his daughter died.
I’m so fucking disappointed in TLOU 2. Not even mad, just disappointed like a father whose favourite child started doing crack for no apparent reason.
You know the ambush Joel sniffed out immediately? He says he's been on both sides of one of those.
A prequel would be daaaaark, man.
Joel 100% did the right thing. The infected were never the problem, humanity was the problem and the way it reacted to the outbreak. Humanity bombed its own cities, destroyed its own civilisation and culture after the outbreak. It killed each other without mercy and at will. Joel saw how barbaric humanities reaction was when they killed his unarmed child. The only humanity showed in the WHOLE game was Joel’s action in saving Ellie. Why would he trust these people with a ‘vaccine?’ Given the way humanity has behaved. The vaccine was always a red herring, it was humanity which led to the downfall of humanity.
100% THIS.
I love the scene where joel tortures Davids men. so fucking bad ass. like Liam nession times 100
18:03 it's never brought up but I'm assuming Joel told Tess about Sarah at some point in the past and Tess saying "I get it" is basically her saying to him: "I know why you don't wanna do this, she reminds you too much of your daughter." Maybe I'm reading to much into it but for me it's pretty clear ever since I played it the first time.
You're right. That's exactly why she said that.
man this is great 1080p movie version, but how i wish there were some gameplay to it like the last one you did. i want my friends to watch this but i dont think they will fully understand the story if it jumps from cutscene to cutscene, still a good one though for those who want to relive masterpiece.
Well there are other videos with all cutscenes plus important gameplay parts to the story on RUclips.
Just search for Last of Us game movie/cutscenes gameplay or something similar and you'll find a bunch of them.
"After all we've been through. Everything that I've done. It can't be for nothing."
-ELLIE
"Imma let Abby go, cuz I guess for some reason, I grew sympathy for her. After the player has played too much hours as the fucked up person that killed the one person that cared for me over anything else, and taught me to live, fight, and enjoy life. I killed everyone else, I left my 'family'. She took my ability to play guitar, the last thing I had left from Joel. But, u know, it was all for nothing, I guess. She can be happy now, while I am ALONE."
-Neil Duckman, I freaking guess...
Abby didn’t want to fight Ellie. Ellie threatened her with Lev.
Really makes you wonder how many times neil had to be told "no" by any other writers just to get TLOU1 the way it was. Too bad no one was here to do that.
ikr it was so out of character for ellie to let her go
Come back here just to bleach my eyes after Part 2.
Who’s watching this in 2023 because of the show 😂
After watching episode 1 of this live action series, I came back to this video
We have to remember that Joel's decision to save Ellie had more things backing it up, than just his love for her, while it still was by far the biggest deciding factor. Remember that Joel never believed in The Fireflies' mission to return the world to what it used to be. And through out the whole game, we can see what the human race has become. Do you really think that we could just return to the old days after all this savagery. Joel knows that there's no return, he has known ever since he lost Sarah. Remember, it was not the infection that killed her, it was a normal human.
Plus if you find all those tapes that The Firefly people left behind, you'll find out that they aren't even sure that the cure would work. So there was no way that Joel would've let his beloved Ellie die, for this hopeless mission that he knows never would even work, to create the cure that also might not even work at all.
This game is so masterfully written.

The prologue with Sarah and Joel was better than the entirety of TLOU2. Even if it is extremely sad...
@MILES SOMBRERO you shouldn't let scenes in a video game cause depression.
@MILES SOMBRERO
Hey pal. You just blow in from stupid town?
FFS many of this scenes really hit you and just watching this entire video is better than playing the whole sequel.
Yeah get your popcorn
I feel like when Ellie says “okay” at the end, she did take Joel’s word but she wanted to find out the truth herself and still believe Joel’s promise.
I’m just waiting for Part 2
You know, if we bridge the cutscenes with the right content, this would literally be the best movie ever.
