But Dina is the one I hate. I don't like to use that word, but since we're talking about a fictional character, I'll make the exception. I hate the Dina character. She instantly makes Ellie so much worse and unlikeable. Plus she has a smugness and a preinstalled clout to her that is completely unearned. Every scene she's in and every word of dialogue she speaks is brutal beyond any gore, infected, or killings that are featured in this game. I don't like the part 2 anyway, but Dina destroyed this game before anyone else had a chance to.

@@hodgindaylon I don't agree with you at all. Joel's character was not butchered. He was never a "good" person. None of them are. Abby was motivated by the same hatred Ellie was. In the end of part 2 Ellie let go. The whole game from the start of part 1 to the end of part 2 is very human. There are no heros, the best of humanity did not survive the outbreak. If anyone in the audience wanted a happy ending they should have played the Peppa pig game. The last of us is a true opera in video game form.

Fun fact: fan theory suggest the prologue when we play as Sarah is a recurring nightmare joel has every single night that goes on his head even when sleeping.

What I find most depressing is that Sarah didn’t have to die. She wasn’t bit, her leg was just crushed. The soldier shot her anyways with only little empathy. It wasn’t an infected that got her, it was a human.

I feel like the soldier has empathy, considering he wanted to disobey his orders. But it shows the horrible things the government is willing to do in order to slow the spread of the infection.

@the_bottomfragger

Жыл бұрын

It's so depressing but it sets up Joel's character so well. If she'd been bitten in the chase or something, he would've never forgiven himself, I'm doubtful he would be around 20 years later. The fact that she was killed for no reason gives him all the justification to hate the world and even deprive it of a cure (how effective that would even be is another question). It's also horrifyingly accurate, the soldier is "just following orders" and not letting his personal judgement decide.

@tonytan5945

The soldier did have empathy. He tried to protest against his commander when ordered to shoot Joel and Sarah. Then as he raised his gun, he was shaking his head (Edit: he does that in the original but for some reason doesn't do it in the remake). He was definitely remorseful about it.

Tess and Joel have a relationship that’s alluded to being more than just a partnership. Bill almost says as much when the J&E meet up with him later. Frank and Tess are also thematic mirrors of each other, which reinforces the “more than friends” theory. I think Joel and Tess are just so battle hardened they can’t allow themselves to really let their emotions out, but Tess admits as much when she stays behind to fight the soldiers when she says (paraphrasing) “if this meant anything more to you…” in reference to their relationship.

Some things that were missed on the video or that I had an opinion on bugged me enough to write this comment: 1. 10:31 After beginning credits Joel wakes up and it could be deduced that he was drinking the night before. This together with him waking up to a nightmare and Tess saying "You wanted to be left alone remember?" and the text 20 years later could imply that it was the 20 year anniversary of the death of Sarah. 2. 27:15 The fireflies are quite a large group that has been around since the first years of the outbreak so it isn't unbelievable that many doctors would have ended up, and even seeked to get into a group that is trying to find a cure. 3. 1:02:48 The humvee isn't necessarily or even probably following the group but is returning to home base or some outpost of theirs as the bandits with the mounted sniper and the humvee are for sure the same group. 4. 1:26:41 Here Ellie did try to get the keys to escape as any other option looked to be worse. Joel also isn't just fine as even the controls while playing him are slower and feel more sluggish. It is also implied along the story that Joels questioning tactics aren't anything new to him as him and Tommy have been doing all kinds of bad stuff during the 20 years. 5. Joel's end decision might have been weighed by how incompetent the fireflies have turned out to be. Marlene losing almost all of her group, multiple moves and the quick choice to immediately perform the surgery. He might have also been weighing if the world even was worth saving after all they both had encountered. Still it clearly wasn't an easy choice as seen by Joel's reaction in the elevator and after shooting Marlene. Awesome video and it is great that people still make videos of this game.

This makes anybody wish that Sara had survived longer further into the game to get to know other people that Joel comes across further into the game's journey down the road

Great video, dude! Seeing you had less than 500 subscribers was a surprise, the production value on this is crazy. Around the 48:20 mark, I was waiting for you to talk about the QTE to then have to sprint to save Ellie from the bandit wrestling with her. That was a real defining moment for me. The rush and anger I felt steamrolling towards that bandit, and the relief I felt afterwards? In that sequence, I knew for sure Joel was growing attached because I sure was! Hoping more success comes your way, man. We need those subs up up. Amazing work!

I just have to have a pause for a moment here. Your intro inadvertantly answered the question you posed. It inspired you to pursue something, a video game did that. Forget the praise the game gets, that alone speaks volumes. Sometimes I wonder if we get transfixed in looking for some sort of 10/10, once in a lifetime gem that needs to be held in the highest regard and forget that these type of games are meant to elicit something and for so many it has. Speaking for myself I know it has.

From 2012 to 2022 I had stopped playing games all together. The 360 was the last modern console I had. Then in late 2022, I decided to get back into gaming after not doing so for 10 years. I dived into nostalgic gaming first, n64, ps1 etc. then Decided to get something more “modern” lol. And got a ps3 so I could play all my retro games with ease on it. I got my ps3 from a whatnot auction and the guy threw in a copy of the last of us for supporting his channel. I was so excited to play this game. It was gonna be my first “modern” for me game I had played since the 2012. That whole first act with Sarah, Joel and Tommy as it fades from pre apocalyptic to post apocalyptic, that did it. I was hooked after that and I didn’t set the game down for hours. I beat the game in a matter of days, and then decided to play it again on a a harder difficulty about a month later because all the games I was trying to play simply couldn’t compete. I’ve played the last of us pt1 from start to finish 3 times now and have simply accepted that playing another game as good as this one isn’t going to happen. I did acquire a ps4 and played through pt 2, and though it wasn’t as good as the first one, I did really enjoy it. I know alot of controversy surrounded it, but I think naughty dog did the best they could for raising the bar so high on pt. 1 and creating an absolute…..masterpiece.

Just wanted to say excellent video. The amount of work and effort you put into this is noticeable and much appreciated. Great pacing, video clips, narration, analysis, and the list goes on. Wish you much success with your channel. That all being said I think I speak for many when I say this game was a sucker punch back when it came out and still is even today. It pulled no punches and was visceral in the emotions it invoked within you. It says a lot that people are still talking about its impact all these years later. The best art doesn’t tell, it makes you think. And I believe that’s something TLOU excelled at.

Pleeeeease make a vid on part 2! Love this. Nice work.

I dont know if its ever been said or pointed out but i only just now noticed his watch got broken the moment his daughter got shot and died... i thought it was maybe during a random event later in his life. Im guessing the watch's time is stuck also at the moment his daughter died then.

I think one of the most surprising things when I rewatched the game years later was how smooth the transitions were between moments, cutscenes, and in game dialogue. Although some parts were pretty simple, think that allowed for the game to not get overcomplex like it did with the sequel. The TV show I was surprised that I wasn't as invested or sad and it seems to be falling into the same overcomplex issues again

The HBO series made me nostalgic of the game, so thanks for this video - great work on it!

Great critique really enjoyed it💜

i really enjoyed this, are you doing one for TLOU 2?

TLOU probably has one of the best stories, not the best game but best story.

Your always gonna have vids coming out. Its this one I Vibe With...

Just replayed this game and it is still as amazing as it was when I first played it on the PS3 at release.

I keep coming back to watch parts of this til I finish it and man Ellie’s face after Joel tells her “you’re right, you’re not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad” and it hits so much harder being able to see the true disappointment in her face

1:26:50 I’ve seen a few other people make this comment but Joel is definitely not completely fine when he wakes up. You can imagine he’s been resting for awhile and he did get a dose of antibiotics after all. Waking up seeing Ellie gone clearly got his adrenaline going. His dad side kicked in. A parent will push through whatever for their kid.

@@ImGardenGnome Would love a video analysis for part 2 if you’re up for it. I know it wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I certainly have my own many gripes with the game. I played it for Ellie and was thoroughly disappointed-… but there’s still a lot to talk about!

I spent years insisting i would hate these games. Finally bought them 2 months ago. I've now beat both games, I love them both dearly. Regardless of weird nerd rage about 2.

Yes because I'm here watching this year's later to see if you have more of a reason to support my love for this game. I gave my ps4 to my friend just to play this game. Never have I done that before for any other game.

I recently finally played the game expecting it would never live up to the praise it got before watching the show though I’d owned it for years and my goodness how great this game was makes me excited to go for the platinum

I'm grateful you notice all these things and share them so i can enjoy them as my ignorant ass just blasted through without paying much attention. Great work sir.

Aw Ellie’s little “hey there” at 1:31:21

On Grounded mode I was able to successfully beat the chapters in The Outskirts and The Firefly Lab. Without having to use ANY WEAPONS against the enemies. (Enemies being the FEDRA Soldiers in Boston, when outside the walls and in the building where Tess dies and in the subway. Along with when the fireflies in the hospital.) I found little routes for Joel to take so that he and Ellie simple sneaked passed ALL of the FEDEA Soldiers and Fireflies. I didn't want to kill them because unlike the Hunters in Pittsburgh, the Hunters at the Dam/Jackson, and the Cannibalistic Town Group at the University and during the Winter. The FEDRA Soldiers and Fireflies are conscientious The FEDRA Soldiers simply are trying to kill any Fireflies (they thought Joel/Tess/Ellie were Fireflies) in Boston to stop them from causing anymore problems for the Quarantine Zone and restore order. It may be a situation where people are not free to do as they wish and most are living in poor living conditions buts it's better then Pittsburgh were they did successful Rebel and it turned into a Hunters Paradise( up until Joel Killed most of there group and there Humvee and likely disbanded.) The FEDRA Soldiers are the last line of defense against violent survivor groups, against Rebels that would destroy life for normal citizens and the endless army of the Infected. Despite the Fireflies flaws and errors at Logical reasoning. Killing Civilians and military in Quarantine Zones in attacks that threaten the lives of everyone. Getting supplies by stealing from other Quarantine Zones. Choosing to kill Ellie even though they would need her alive to create a vaccine for The Cordyceps fungal infection or a anti fungal medication. They decided to kill only after a short period of having her which was flat out stupidity they NEEDED to have found another way to get a cure from her body. Because killing her would destroy any hope of mass processing the cure. Despite all that they do want to find and create a cure and sense presumably FEDRA is to busy manufacturing new Car Batteries and others necessary equipment the Fireflies are probably the last Hope. Rather there be a US with more FEDRA Soldiers and Fireflies then Hunters and Cannibalistic towns. Lastly not killing the FEDRA Soldiers and the Fireflies allows you to have more ammunition for the Infected and the Hunters/Cannibals. And for Joel it's faster and Logical to just Sneak passed everyone then it is to risk injury or death when you don't have to fight them. With the Hunters and Cannibalistic towns people you do have to kill them because there savages looking to eat you.

And this is the most emotional beautiful game I've ever played, thought the days gone story was amazing but nothing to this and the giraffe 🦒 scene was a reminder that no matter how crazy the world has become its still a beautiful place and anything can be overcome ❤️

The Last Of Us and Red Dead Redemption 2 are just the most detailed, beautiful and story rich games ever.

I've watched Sarah's death 10 times I'm a grown up adult and still fucking cries every single time

Lovely critique, watched the Ghost of Tsushima one first but this of my favourite game of all time had me clicking the subscribe button. Very well done. Just as an after thought, the remake of part one is available on Steam from March 3rd next year...played the remastered version on PS4 pro, but as a predominately PC gamer, I can't wait to experience the wonder of this masterpiece in story telling all over again. Like most of the former Sony exclusives appearing now on PC, it was an instant pre-order. As an aside...yet another one... I've bought all the former Sony exclusives released on PC to date... HZD, Days Gone, God of War, Spiderman...with Uncharted 4:Legacy of Thieves being the latest addition to my game collection on PC, even though like all the others, I've played them through on the PS4 pro many times already... Keep 'em coming Sony :)

That intro will *always* hit the feels.

ive been playing games for around 11 years now, and i have to say after playing part 1 and part 2 last week , i can say this is the best game ive ever played and it is an absolute master peice, cant wait to see how TLOU 3 comes out.

beautiful critique wow thank you. this brought me some closure.

The way that you made this video is actually pretty funny. Most people review this game with a lot of seriousness and they act like they're reading for an audio book or something, but you just say it straight up the way you want to with a lot of vulgarity and whatnot. Its pretty funny tbh

Great video. Appreciation of this game never gets old.
