@@Chikec8 haha I know… I knew someone would eventually say something about that. It’s ok though. I know it can be successful, but only when they haven’t seen me yet.
Oh the amount of joy I'm getting watching you play Seattle day 2, crawling around in the bushes after meeting the scars, completely shook, jaw-dropped. So fun. What I would give to re-experience these two games as if I had never played them before.
Fun fact! Ellie stabs the stalker in the water according to the amount you press square. If the player only presses it just enough she stabs once, a little over she stabs twice. Or if theyre like you or me and are still pressing it long after she shes stabbing, itll do it three times.
I never noticed the tomatoes by the window in the ambush apartment! And you'll notice that shut door at the first right past the entryway, and how the ambushers were hiding in there until they snuck up on you. Awesome details from ND.
@ I was crying laughing cause why did they stand there for so long? 😂😂😂 Literally never seen that behavior and I play this game’s combat encounters over and over constantly.
Look at you picking up on that balcony rope swing puzzle. I totally missed this side room my first couple of times enjoying this game. Very nice game sense pick up, especially on what Naughty Dog seems to be "telling you" with the level design + leaving bottles everywhere around it.
Yeah the gameplay truly is a 10/10. Personally I also think the story is. Clearly the game is a masterpiece in terms of craft. But I do understand why some players didn't get it.
Agreed, 100%. Probably my second favorite game of all time, next to Red Dead 2. I don't think I have ever played a story so beautiful yet so mean-spirited, violent, and cruel in my 30 years of playing video games.
There’s people that “get it” that still think the writing is majorly flawed. This “didn’t get it” take has been disproven in tons of videos. It isn’t as complex a tale as people make it out to be and it has been done much better in other media.
I think yall are misunderstanding what I meant by "get it". I meant you aren't getting from the story what we are. In that sense you're not "getting it". I don't mean as in you can't comprehend.
@@brandonnumbskull58this people think we’re just stupid or something when that isn’t the case like I said in a previous comment on a video of hers we can’t really discuss it or the points us “haters” have because a lot of it happens throughout the game it isn’t just cause “Joel died me angry” that’s actually one of the least important complaints (although it is a valid criticism) I won’t get into others until she reaches them but I doubt people will listen or they’ll even remember me or this comment. Reasoning: for his death being “bad” Why bill the game like he’ll be the main character again and disrespect your franchise lead like that but to each their own I guess and before I catch a “but what about Sarah” Sarah wasn’t on the poster game cover or in the trailers as a main character she was also used as shock factor (like Joel was) and they just wanted to try to live up to that flame they created with the Sarah bit but ultimately it fell short in this. for a multitude of reasons character assassination through dialogue ie naming himself and saving random survivors “why don’t you come back with us and restock “tommy”(in this game) and actively going against dialogue in this game stating that he’s paranoid and aware not soft (like others have already stated) as well as built upon lore from the previous game. Sequencing they clearly could have had more time with him and Ellie but choose not to (for reasons I can’t say because she hasn’t gotten that far and I won’t be that guy to spoil to prove a point) those of you who played know what “problem” they arbitrarily created with how they sequenced his death and him dying isn’t the problem it’s the timing and how it was created
You think it is controversial now, should have been around when this was released on PS4. Some people still haven't grown up and are mad, as you have seen.
YOU ALL NEED TO LEARN TO BEHAVE, we have an amazing content creator that it's trying to build a good community and yall are ruining it, stop the spoilers and stop being absolute trash, if you don't like the videos don't watch them, problem solved but ffs grow tf up and let Amanda enjoy her gameplay, it's ridiculous that this has to be said.
Appreciate you for being a sweetheart. We’re in a point in time where people will unfortunately refuse to let any form of grey area/middle ground to exist when it comes to differing opinions. Those trying to enjoy something just end up having their passion caught in the crossfire of it all. They’re the ones who suffer the most by being in the middle, while everyone is as polarizing as can be. It’s been almost 5 years since this game came out. People reject the possibility that someone can believe in the opposite of what they do. They’ll censor them. Tear them down. Take away their potential enjoyment. It’s not healthy. It’s not fair. But such is life. At least we’re here, enjoying it with her and hoping that she can and that she will, in spite of all that’s surrounding this game.
Yeah, in a perfect world everyone would just be respectful and nice to one another despite our differences. We all have very different life experiences and interpret things differently (especially with the help of societal, cultural, and religious values). Many of us would also make different choices too! I respect those that didn't like the game. They are totally fine for feeling that way, but so are those who enjoyed it and interpreted the story differently!
@@IntroXietyGaming you're an absolute joy to watch, just know that a lot of us respect you and appreciate what you do, i hope that you get to enjoy the game despite the negativity, sending lots of love your way
@IntroXietyGaming don't feel bad. My first playthrough, I missed a lot of stuff too. 😁 You'd have to play it a couple more times to get and see everything. But I'm loving videos!
After watching this, im really starting to despise Ellie. They killed Joel but Joel killed so many more people. Then Ellie is killing so many people. If they had killed her, they would still be alive. But they showed her mercy and ended up dead.
Each of her targets has killed a lot of people too, remember. Everyone's got blood on their hands in this world. But yes, Ellie's journey toward the Dark Side is a major element of the story. Can she find a way back? Or will it consume her? Keep watching to find out!
Don’t you just hear his screams Nora cried and than she’s half dead this part is probably one of the best parts it has everything the infected scars and off course wlf wonderful stuff thanks for playing glad you’re enjoying it after all what happened looking forward to seeing more see ya sooner than later bye 🙋♂️
20:49 WLF Target List … Ji-So, Andre, Chris and Adam are the innocent people you murdered at 27:12. You looked everywhere except the bedroom door on your left at 29:02 where they were all hiding. Unfortunately there was a manual among other items in there… for next time! The game has great reply value. It would be great on PC (April) even if just for the added “No Return” mode that you do after completion.
Also when you dropped down on that guy from above in the courtyard, you can also jump off the ledge and hit square to drop onto enemies Uncharted style with your knife and stab them to death instantly (I think it's quiet?) Little things they don't tell you that can be helpful.
Idk if you got that hint card on death yet, but in case you didn't, the enemies get really accurate when you sprint straight at them while they are fully aware of you. They are also more likely to land a headshot on you. Inversely, sprinting to the side or directly away from them decreases their ability to land their shots on you. Dodges might in theory also count for avoiding shots, or at least they feel that way when I play.
Hotline Miami, the game the WLF woman was playing on the PSP, is fucking incredible too if you haven't played it. Highly recommend if you want a blood-soaked arcade shooting time.
I don't know if you caught it because the dialogue only triggered once or so, but the dog that Ellie kills in the courtyard of the WLF hospital is named Bear 🥲
I've never heard of this audio issue before but it does seem to be plaguing your playthrough. I notice we don't seem to be hearing it. If it's not appearing in the recording, how are you connecting your headset? I assume you're using a capture card for recording which seems to be capturing the audio fine, but I'm wondering which connection method you're using for your personal audio. Also do you use the same headset for other games, including non-PS5 ones? Is this issue only noticeable in this game, all PS5 titles, only when you're recording, or anything like that?
omg i cant believe i didnt die - 10 secconds later, dies. Your type of playng is so more realistic than others that i have watched. u are scared of dying , othets was not :D so u put this realism to the game makes it more interesting to watch
There's a setting you can change on ps5 where you can hold a button and a ping will send out. It'll tell you where the items are around you. You can also change a setting so you can auto loot. You won't have to press the pickup button every time you find loot.
Personally I really like the accessibility option to ping for loot, especially in subsequent replays, if you're into that sort of lightly immersion breaking but time-saving option
This is where the writing is kind of weak imo. Your supposed to feel all bad inside aww i no want to hit girl violence bad :((( Bro anyone with a spine, and any slight hint of revenge would turn that girl into ground meat. You literally beat my step dad to death and then after I catch you you fornite emote on his memory asking if I remember his screams? Na baby you getting golf club treatment too and not an iota of bad will i feel.
I don't think that really has to do with the story though... the game isn't trying to force the player to feel a specific thing. Some people were totally fine hitting that button, others not as much. As people we interpret things differently. I don't think it has to do with whether someone has a spine or not. The writing makes sense in this case because Ellie, someone who is filled with anger and rage, wants revenge. She got that info out of Nora, and the player makes the decision on whether she did the right thing or not. That is what's so great about this game. It allows the player to think for themselves in a way.
@@IntroXietyGaming Valid I still like the game its just this moment and then one thing other thing I feel they left out after you beat the full game. Also I hope you didn't take it as i meant YOU didn't have a spine based on your reaction lol. I meant in the framework of living in this world. Anyone would have actual trouble beating someone to death irl but in a world of graping raiders, infected that rip you apart, and constant life or death moments in day to day travel beating someone to death would be trivialized. Its just hard to detach the feeling of neil druckman writing scenes to be smug instead of for art as thats how he came off around when this game released. Enjoying the playthrough regardless!
I can’t recall if you’ve mentioned in your previous episodes 🤔 But have you or do you plan on watching the Last of Us show? I think the second season is coming out. I watched the first one but had a difficult time enjoying it, not because I didn’t like it, but because I was constantly comparing it to the game. “They changed up the dialogue there.” “This is about to happen.” “They changed this.” I should try giving it another watch.

Ohh... They're gonna make you press that button.
Again and again... 😬
I had no problem pressing square 😅😅
They make you do a lot of things in this game, lol.
This is the best game of the entire world
Fun fact! Ellie stabs the stalker in the water according to the amount you press square. If the player only presses it just enough she stabs once, a little over she stabs twice. Or if theyre like you or me and are still pressing it long after she shes stabbing, itll do it three times.
1:33:35 😂 the way you pressed square not expecting her to do anything only to be completely shocked when she kicked him in the face was a whole mood
I never noticed the tomatoes by the window in the ambush apartment! And you'll notice that shut door at the first right past the entryway, and how the ambushers were hiding in there until they snuck up on you. Awesome details from ND.
Both the scars cornering your hiding spot and just standing there staring at it without moving for like thirty seconds: 🙍♂🔥🙍♀

I hadn't thought of it like that, but you're right, this segment is a really great one in terms of all the different gameplay mechanics at work.
The trap mines will save you ammo and taking out multiple enemies at once.
Plus it gives you time to hide elsewhere
All of the Wolves vs. Scars stuff really makes me think of _West Side Story_ NGL.

Just some constructive criticism but you should clear a whole room for loot bc you miss out on so much loot in the quick mart closet
