I understand the criticisms, I really do. But damn I would be lying if I said that I hated this game. I loved every second of it. The third game to move me to tears by the end of it and the first to make me genuinely think about what I just did. Incredible.
You should play Detroit: Become Human. The soundtrack is just wonderful and the story... Well, if you loved how TLOU moved you and made you think about your actions, definitely give a try to DBH. :)
Man to be honest this is the only game that i struggle to view it as a game, its more then a movie also...its a real living, breathing experience, i didnt play it, i experience it, its hard to put it in words. I love everything about it, from the lore to the small details that strucks you and manage to push your buttons in a way no other game did. Apart from all this emotions the game, from a technical perspective its amazing, graphics, gameplay, animation, all its top notch. Also the story and the plot its mind blowing, i love the fact that the producers did not go with the flow and with what fans expected and instead they took a whole new approach and delivered a true masterpiece that would be talked about for years to come.
siento lo mismo, de hecho por esa razon es que no quiero volver a jugarlo, seria anti natural y extraño. arruinaria la unica y verdadera experiencia.
I feel the same, in fact for that reason is that I do not want to play it again, it would be unnatural and strange for me, it would ruin the only and true experience. I hope you understand my english because I only speak spanish xd

I got goosebumps reading this because it's exacly the way I feel, it's a straight up experience. I can't get myself to call it a game or movie because it's SO much more.
This game has me with love and hate feelings, truly a good game with a story i didnt like but that doesnt mean is bad its like if someone asked me: would u like to see ur fathrr being killed? Well thats the fucking analogy
I hate that in all the debate over the story, things get missed. Things like this brilliant ost. Compared to the first game, it’s more stripped down, almost broken sounding. Haunting strings mix with pounding, fuzzy synths and crackling percussion to perfectly fit the mood of whatever scene is on. Masterpiece.
LOU2 made me feel things I’ve never felt before while playing a game, it challenged my beliefs, triggered my anxieties classic ptsd symptoms, yet I absolutely loved it. I won’t change a thing about it, I feel like Joel failed to protect Sarah and he was going to do everything to protect Ellie, it was as much for him as it was for Ellie. Joel also wanted some sort of redemption, not saying he didn’t care about her he absolutely did, but Joel acted selfishly and also did many things along the way that could have been avoided. As for Ellie as much as I love the character but ever since she found out she was immune she built up this whole idea about saving the world. When Joel saved her she started struggling with the idea of being just another “regular” human being. Abby well, she was just being Abby! Where’s the steroids gang at? Haha. I enjoyed playing with Abby even though I hated her at first, but after seeing both sides of the story her actions made more sense. Beautiful game! My top 5 of all time for sure.
It's almost like no one is happy anymore unless it is exactly what they want with all these big franchises. This was truly a work of art. It is clear that everyone who worked on this put everything they have behind this game. From their personal stories to the craft they have mastered over the years. If people had just let go of their assumptions of what the game should be and delve into the story with an open mind then it would most likely be a much better experience for them.
Yeah, it's a shame what happened to this game, I litterally watched no trailer, no news, for keeping the surprise, I played the game, absolutely loved it, and then went on the internet, and saw all thoses LGBT discussions, thoses debate about Neil's writing skills, debates here and there for really poor reasons, when I played the game I saw no feminist propaganda, no LGBT propaganda, and no lack of writing skills whatsoever. I just saw a game that tells a story about the cycle of hatred, and it tells it very well.
My only problem with it is: I wanted revenge for Joel, but then I had to play as the killer for like 10 hours and I just wanted to kill this girl I was playing as. I loved everything except the Abby gameplay after she kills Joel. I just wanted to get through it so I can get back to playing as Ellie. The Abby gameplay felt like side quests and I just wanted to get back to the main story.
@@LuigiTheItalian that game divided the community, It's a long debate, I personally just went "oh well, let's just see what story she has to tell" and it turned out that Abby's story is has interesting has Ellie and Joel's story imo..
@@LuigiTheItalian why hate abby's gameplay though? as ellie you sneak and strategize. With abby you get firepower and brute force, very similar to a resident evil play style. it plays to the upbringing of Abby as training in para-military very well. the skill tree for Abby is also very interesting
Yes for me Seattle day 1 was really realxing. Big City but quite, a bit windy and almost rainy weather, grass everywhere on roads. I love this atmosphear

Yes agreed, they need to make tlou3 as quick as they can, not another 7 years, they game would probably be dead by then. Maybe they make a short sequel or an alternative game like Uncharted: the lost legacy but I really want a third game
Judgmental fish part 2 has been a huge financial success, received critical praise from numerous outlets, and maintains a huge fanbase. That's usually all the incentive needed to make a sequel, or in this case a third installment.
Judgmental Fish yeah but the game was left open I have so many questions after I finished that game like it wouldn’t be right if their wasn’t a sequel with that type of ending
Never knew a game could reck me so hard as this did... Never did I knew I needed it... I just want that first time feeling back.. Man it was a great roller coaster
I disagree with the story, they fucked it up with part2 by killing the main character that everyone loved in first part, and what made the first part masterpiece.
@@ecod7r the main character has always been Ellie. You can replace Joel with other characters as the character who takes Ellie to the fireflies. Sure, the development of the relationship would change and the story would be a little bit different, but you still have a story. But Without Ellie there’s no story. Who are you supposed to take to the fireflies if not Ellie?
TLOU2 was the first game ever to make me feel such strong emotions. I felt everything, from happiness, hatred, sadness, sympathy, etc. I cried both happy and sad tears. I think if a story can make you feel so many emotions then that's when you know the developers did an amazing job.
I finished it a few days ago and I genuinely can't stop thinking about it. I loved the story, characters and the direction they went in, I felt it was a very natural progression from the first story.
Chriss123 and yeah there is so many mixed emotions. Like Joel was killed by Abby for killing her dad, and Ellie wants to kill Abby for killing Joel (Ellie’s dad). It so crazy, that parallel.
@@JohnSoapMacTavish-tb6pk Hmmm, no, that's not what he said. Most of the hate for this game really is stupid... as someone who has hated the game after having seen the leaks and played it for the first time, now I feel like an idiot, because I listened to those people. Thankfully I used my brain afterwards and changed my mind
@@kowxley1793 True, a lot of the original criticism for the game was pretty out there. I saw the leaks like you did, felt the same and then played the game. I still have some issues with it and there's certain narrative beats I'm not fond of. I have a hard time reconciling parts of this game with it's predecessor. But I totally see why people love it, theres a lot to love. I'm stoked for those who do, you know, more power to you. I mean words can't describe how much I *wanted* to love this thing, but for a handful of reasons it just didn't quite land it for me. It's a bummer that the discourse is/has been so toxic, felt like there could've been a lot more meaningful conversation around it :/
No game has made me pause, go stand outside and reflect on it as much as this one. I wish non gamers could understand how incredibly powerful this game or any game can be. This one is up there with the best of them. Makes you laugh, cry, scream and everything else. Cannot align with the criticisms of this game by others.
I absolutely love this game, I understand the criticism too, but I still love the game, no game has ever made me feel so many emotions, I think it was most unique experience I ve ever had, it’s gonna stay with me for life, and that’s what matters to me. Thank you ND for making this masterpiece.❤️
if in the end, all you remember is Joel's death under the club, and not Ellie's final redemption from the revenge cycle - then, unfortunately, I think you have not found the peace and final reconciliation Ellie had with Joel.
I have to agree with you. and I played the first game like more than 10 times. His death is hard for me, but like Neil said, my perspective on justice and empathy is definitely challenged.
Ellie never got a chance to reconcile, that was sort of the point in my mind - why she was so upset, because the potential was there to make things right again between them. This story was a miserable mess in my opinion, especially the last few hours. It wasn't deep, it wasn't emotional, it was disappointing and eventually cartoonish in it's over the top bleakness. Gameplay and visuals were top tier though.
this wonderful experience made me boot up my PS again... it was gathering dust for a long time... no game triggered me anymore... this one did... weird that people say that they did not like it... just my opinion! peace!
they didn't like it because it triggered them. they couldn't accept that the characters acted from emotions, they see those actions as unreasonable and from their perspective they aren't wrong. but the characters have a different perspective. abby lost her father and quite frankly ellie did what she had to to survive. you as a player might disagree with those actions but that's okay, because in that moment the character would disagree with you too. it's a game about accepting the truth and truth is emotions can make us act in ways even we might see as unreasonable. that's why many players were mad when ellie doesn't finish her revenge. because from the players perspective she went trough hell and back just to give up and stop, but from ellie's perspective she started to realize what a mistake she made. (and i know some people will point out she killed 100+ people but don't forget that especially such things can't always be counted towards the full kill count considering you in some cases have the choice between going lethal or sneaking past them)
@Judgmental fish the writing isn't horrible, the choices are made to hard on purpose. The writers found try and force you to like someone over someone else. I think people mix not liking a piece of media and the media being bad. Yes the game has issues, but just because you disagree with the direction in which the story went doesn't make it bad.
@@Saanders_ yeah, your completely right on that. but good representation is hard to find, especially in video games. Let alone video games this mainstream and high quality.
Seriously though, never had a game (or really anything else for that matter) just stay in my head for this long. Keep thinking about it regularly even well over a year later.
It's an apocalyptic, cruel and ruthless world though I can't help but feeling comfort and peace in this kind of atmosphere The last of us creates, I couldn't explain it
I need more, more, more, more...This makes me study and do school work effortlessly. I don't even think of the game when studying, merely of Gustavo's talent. I enjoy this a lot and can't wait for more
You should also do a title screen one and different varieties just like the first games ambience... Yes I also listen to them. I'm in love with your work
one of the very few soundtracks that i hold in my heart, the first game has had such a big impact on my life and so has the second one. It makes me beyond sad that people miss the point of this game, such a well done franchise in every department from graphics to story. absoulte masterpiece. Gustavo came through in both games, what a amazing soundtrack.
I would love to live in tlou universe To help around in Jacksonville, to meet Ellie, to visit Joel's grave, to smell that apocaliptic air, the fear from tomorrow.......... I really felt that I'm there when I was playing this apocalipse simulator
i've noticed that it's the kind of game that doesn't put any pressure on you Ellie can stay at the same place for hours and the game won't tell anything to you
This music inspires me, it makes me want to become a better person and at the same time it makes me realise how harsh life can be. Help those around you, do not expect anything from them in return. Help doesn't come from the helped, be happy that you are not the one in need. Do not lose hope, do not lose faith...
This game means the world to me, it's hard to explain how much I loved it, even though it was really, really sad. It hurts my heart to see Ellie ending the game alone, but I understand how important it was for her to get her revenge even if it meant losing Dina. What a masterpiece, Naughty dog.
Yeah at first you think that Ellie make a bad decision by leaving everything to find Abby but she had no other choice, her mind is in peace now, she can move forward in her life. Just the same as you, you don't know how much this game means to me, it's really much more than a game
When I went up onto that roof to turn the power on, I just hung out up there for a few minutes. It was very peaceful with the rain and the feeling of safety from everything you had faced throughout the day.
I have found my people! Lol it does me good to see all these positive comments. Ive seen a little bit, not alot of why people were bitching and frankly thought these people were naive or just need to feel validated. How that happens thru rancorous hate is beyond me tho. Both parts 1 and 2 were emotionally gripping and the story was impressive in its writing. Im glad to see an outpouring of love for such an accomplishment. I feared all the slander would overshadow an amazing story and their impeccable voice talents.
I'm in the middle of an incredibly stressful period of work and study, your videos about TLOU2 and Death Stranding are literally keeping my mind sane, thank you really
to call this a game is an understatement, to have not only these life like characters with emotions, lives and goals but backed by this incredible soundtrack, visuals and story, it makes for a truely amazing experience, say what you will about the story, like it or not you cant deny this is yet another fantastic creation by naughty dog, and i truley hope they continue to thrive as a company in the future and continue to keep me excited for what incredible stories they have to share with us next
This game made me an emotional person. When it rains, i listening this game's relaxing musics. I guess this game can be one of the greatest video games of the world. Thank you Naughty Dog.
I cant deny the fact that this game is a masterpiece .... This is literally the best game I've ever played . No other game has ever played with emotions at this level and still live up to my expectations. I understand the hate this game is getting because of the story ....this game is differently build and I respect that. Naughty dog did a great job .
I can see the Last of us as a legend that will be passed from generation to generation. This is not just a game or a movie anymore for it delivered something greater than that. This brings a totally new Immersive experience. I cant express into words my awe and love for this game
Don't forget lonely as hell, like even when you're riding around with Dina the music and the atmosphere just seems so lonely.. the banjo and guitar just strumming along....
I think they couldn't have done a better job with this game. This is what post apocalyptic civilization is about! amazing soundtrack, beautiful atmosphere. Loved it
most of the criticism is over Joel's death we all knew Joel wouldn't be around forever and now for once in her life Ellie is on her own so she needs to use what Joel taught her and survive
I haven't played the game, only watched a gameplay as I didn't have the console needed. but man, man the whole plot, characters, soundtrack and environment ? the way we experienced both sides and came to understand their actions ? they were all too good. I wish I'll be able to play this series myself in the future.
This games is just amazing it's weird to describe I loved the first game and I think.this one is so much better emotionally I played and and finished this about a week after it came out and still.havent gone back to play it again yet just cause of the emotional side and the detail.in the story is incredible. Easily.the best game I've ever played
At first i was really not happy, but as I went and grew to understand her character more and more, and now looking back retrospectively, I like the character and look forward more so to my second run through with her plot. It was an extremely gutty call by naughty dog, but one that the gaming industry will thank down the line.
ua-cam.com/video/g6rRfK-V2jY/v-deo.html Neil Druckmann , Ashley and Troy explains parts from the game Now i understand much more and changed my perspective about Abby and Ellie
It's been 4 years since PartII and I'm looking forward to The Las Of Us PartIII. Its gameplay, graphics, music, characters and atmosphere are much more than many games🔥❤👏
-Spoilers i personally think that TLOU2 was just too complex for most people with the expectations of games to be very clear cut and appeasing the fans being the only priority. TLOU2 is a realistic perspective into a individuals life during a crisis. anyone around her was subject to death no matter their standing, because in reality death won't worry about that. unseen circumstances happen and humans do terrible things when pushed to. in TLOU2 we are especially shown true human nature; regret, pain, hardship, envy, revenge, hate, ignorance, empathy, guilt. we are shown the perspectives of two sides in this story. in reality, neither is a good nor bad person. they are just people. people who have both done terrible things but have also done such in defence of who they care for. this is human nature in its essence. in this world, there is no law binding people to not commit taboo things. moral obligations are broken down and humans now act as what comes naturally rather than having something guide them. human nature isn't pretty nor 'good'. .nature is unbiased and 'harsh'. nature is subjected to everyone, and there's no stopping that in this world in particular. in ellies side, who we have been travelling and experience her perspective with, we have grown attached to her. her immunity gives her this status of importance that we subconscious use to value her higher than the dozens of dozens of others she has killed for a questionable cause. her immunity is constantly in question of actually being of use to anyone else other than her, and in the first game i think it really capitalises on this importance throughout. to where, we don't even question joel killing an entire hospital of people just to save one humans life. because we are being empathic, and being drawn into this sense of greater being that ellie is to everyone else. then in the second game, ellie doesn't have that importance anymore. not everything goes her way anymore, she isn't this 'light' in the dark. she's now just like everyone else, which she had always been. and the actions of the past catch up, with joel dying being the main sign of this. ironically, she has immunity but is no longer immune to the cruel nature of this cruel world they live in. while she does reach out for contentment in her life and wants to separate herself from further pain, which is shown very clearly when herself and dina are finally living their dream despite what has happened, despite causing so much more pain to abby - she is even spared to live. she finds herself still filled with guilt of not doing anything and guilt of what joel thought of how ellie viewed him. not being able to get that revenge that she needed to justify her own emotional turmoil, was what really drove her. that guilt was there because of her, and there was nothing that could change that. so she instead, is coaxed easily by tommy to go 'finish' what she 'needed' to do. tommy equally projecting this guilt as he feels he didn't make up for what happened to his brother. this is as human as humans get. we are very complex beings, we attach to things and dig up things as our concept of time either goes by or drives us insane if we let it. does it always make sense? no it doesn't, but that's the point. sometimes we just don't really know. in the end of the game it projects this. ellie doesn't really want to go through with this and her blank expression while getting to abby projects her inner thoughts; her questions, her guilt leading her, her insecurities that joel couldn't forgive her, questioning if joel would of wanted this. a sea of thoughts roam her mind leaving her a mess with not a clear goal in sight. at this point, ellie has lost herself. and while she had took even more from abby like her friends, her home and future. abby had found all of that back with lev. a reason to go on, an answer. i think this perspective makes the last fight a lot more concluding and makes it very symbolic with many metaphors in place. while ellie has this sea of thoughts and emotions, she fights by the sea - while abbys 'answer' is separated from it. ellie had been avoiding fully confronting her thoughts through these couple chapters, and now she was finally confronting them, along with the root cause - being abby. as the fights comes to a close and ellie sees that she can finally rip out the root. she remembers, confronts and realises. that this will solve nothing but add abby to this sea. she stops. as a viewer, we are met with confusion and anger. we think, we are thinking for the better of ellie. while ellie has just got her answer. she finally remembered her reason for why the senseless pain wasn't worth fighting for anymore. she realises that abby had already found this, and taking that away from her would make her no better. they had been in the same footsteps the entire time. while we can argue who was a better person all day, that is down to personal ethics and morals. in essence, they are neither good nor bad people. like i said before, they are just people. people who have both done terrible things but have also done such in defence of who they care for. The last of us 2 is reality. And people simply don't like confronting that. Ironic? isn't it. We end up becoming what the story was getting over.
TLoU already made me cry but now Part 2 as well. When movies can't get me crying, then it has to be a game. Just a wonderful game. Let's see how Part 3 will be if there will be one (I really hope so)

I disagree with the story, they fucked it up with part2 by killing the main character that everyone loved in first part, and what made the first part masterpiece.
@@ecod7r wrong
@@ecod7r the main character has always been Ellie. You can replace Joel with other characters as the character who takes Ellie to the fireflies. Sure, the development of the relationship would change and the story would be a little bit different, but you still have a story. But Without Ellie there’s no story. Who are you supposed to take to the fireflies if not Ellie?

Not only the music makes me cry like a baby, the plot does too...
I know right? Some scenes are so emotional
@@GTandalfM5 woosh
The story is such a mess.

When the music is so good, its makes you cry when youre supposed to be focussing on work.
I genuinely believe that anyone who hated this game missed the whole point of it. I thought it was amazing. Harrowing, but amazing.
People can have different opinions you know.
Okay, but what is the point of this game?
currently going through the game on my channel now and i'm loving it so far, never understood the hate for it
This game is simply a fucking MASTERPIECE. Hands down.
@@titaa56 nah
TLOU2 was the first game ever to make me feel such strong emotions. I felt everything, from happiness, hatred, sadness, sympathy, etc. I cried both happy and sad tears. I think if a story can make you feel so many emotions then that's when you know the developers did an amazing job.
The very first ost kills me. I see his face everytime
Slept listening to this and woke up with a clicker attacking me
Pretty damn sure it was a nightmare
Unless it was literally one of her relatives with a clicker or like tapping something 😂
@Margaux Tybus imagine shifting to the last of us-
haha hope you used the shiv
@@partyintheclouz lmaoo i did
I'm proud to have been alive during the release of this game. Best game of all time for me personally.
Its not just a game....we all know....
@@Just1Dev It's an experience
I finished it a few days ago and I genuinely can't stop thinking about it. I loved the story, characters and the direction they went in, I felt it was a very natural progression from the first story.
I finished it 3 days after it came out and I still can't stop thinking about it
Chriss123 I know right. I think about it daily. Its crazy what this game does to you mentally.
@@codym3222 yep fr. Just when u think ur over it, something reminds u of it and ur thinking about it all over again.
So many mixed emotions.
Chriss123 that’s why the game is so good. I don’t get how people can hate this game.
Chriss123 and yeah there is so many mixed emotions. Like Joel was killed by Abby for killing her dad, and Ellie wants to kill Abby for killing Joel (Ellie’s dad). It so crazy, that parallel.
I am so so tired of the hate and stupid critics on this game.
Translation: “I hate peoples who’s opinions don’t align with mine blah blah waaa waaa”
@@JohnSoapMacTavish-tb6pk Hmmm, no, that's not what he said. Most of the hate for this game really is stupid... as someone who has hated the game after having seen the leaks and played it for the first time, now I feel like an idiot, because I listened to those people. Thankfully I used my brain afterwards and changed my mind
@@kowxley1793 True, a lot of the original criticism for the game was pretty out there. I saw the leaks like you did, felt the same and then played the game. I still have some issues with it and there's certain narrative beats I'm not fond of. I have a hard time reconciling parts of this game with it's predecessor. But I totally see why people love it, theres a lot to love. I'm stoked for those who do, you know, more power to you. I mean words can't describe how much I *wanted* to love this thing, but for a handful of reasons it just didn't quite land it for me. It's a bummer that the discourse is/has been so toxic, felt like there could've been a lot more meaningful conversation around it :/
Yeah well I’m tired of shitty stories ruining good charexters so
@@imcr2352 he didn’t make TLOU1 at least not on his own
No game has made me pause, go stand outside and reflect on it as much as this one. I wish non gamers could understand how incredibly powerful this game or any game can be. This one is up there with the best of them. Makes you laugh, cry, scream and everything else. Cannot align with the criticisms of this game by others.
I absolutely love this game, I understand the criticism too, but I still love the game, no game has ever made me feel so many emotions, I think it was most unique experience I ve ever had, it’s gonna stay with me for life, and that’s what matters to me. Thank you ND for making this masterpiece.❤️
if in the end, all you remember is Joel's death under the club, and not Ellie's final redemption from the revenge cycle - then, unfortunately, I think you have not found the peace and final reconciliation Ellie had with Joel.
This is true for people who didnt play the first part
I have to agree with you. and I played the first game like more than 10 times. His death is hard for me, but like Neil said, my perspective on justice and empathy is definitely challenged.
That is true!
Couldn't have said it better. 🖤
Ellie never got a chance to reconcile, that was sort of the point in my mind - why she was so upset, because the potential was there to make things right again between them. This story was a miserable mess in my opinion, especially the last few hours. It wasn't deep, it wasn't emotional, it was disappointing and eventually cartoonish in it's over the top bleakness. Gameplay and visuals were top tier though.
it’s currently 10:26 AM and it’s storming outside my window. perfect music for it
this wonderful experience made me boot up my PS again... it was gathering dust for a long time... no game triggered me anymore... this one did... weird that people say that they did not like it... just my opinion! peace!
i agree, i think this game was amazing
they didn't like it because it triggered them. they couldn't accept that the characters acted from emotions, they see those actions as unreasonable and from their perspective they aren't wrong. but the characters have a different perspective. abby lost her father and quite frankly ellie did what she had to to survive. you as a player might disagree with those actions but that's okay, because in that moment the character would disagree with you too. it's a game about accepting the truth and truth is emotions can make us act in ways even we might see as unreasonable. that's why many players were mad when ellie doesn't finish her revenge. because from the players perspective she went trough hell and back just to give up and stop, but from ellie's perspective she started to realize what a mistake she made. (and i know some people will point out she killed 100+ people but don't forget that especially such things can't always be counted towards the full kill count considering you in some cases have the choice between going lethal or sneaking past them)
same here, i didnt use my ps for a long time until this game release and i loved every moment of it (sorry about my english)
@Judgmental fish the writing isn't horrible, the choices are made to hard on purpose. The writers found try and force you to like someone over someone else.
I think people mix not liking a piece of media and the media being bad. Yes the game has issues, but just because you disagree with the direction in which the story went doesn't make it bad.
40:58 I can not say how much pain and sorrow has slept in this, combining with the rain and the view ....

I finished the game about a month and a half ago, I still think about it everyday. What a masterpiece.

same here bro lol

@@JohnSoapMacTavish-tb6pk why most of TLOU 2 hater is cod fan?
I have NEVER cried from a video game except for tlou2 and Lis. Tlou2 had such a big emotional impact on me.
It's an apocalyptic, cruel and ruthless world though I can't help but feeling comfort and peace in this kind of atmosphere The last of us creates, I couldn't explain it
I need more, more, more, more...This makes me study and do school work effortlessly. I don't even think of the game when studying, merely of Gustavo's talent. I enjoy this a lot and can't wait for more
You should also do a title screen one and different varieties just like the first games ambience... Yes I also listen to them. I'm in love with your work
I walked the Mojave Wasteland while listening to this.
it was a magical experience.
Fallout & TLOU is such a powerful combo holy shit, I'm sure it was like you ascended to a whole other realm of existence
one of the very few soundtracks that i hold in my heart, the first game has had such a big impact on my life and so has the second one. It makes me beyond sad that people miss the point of this game, such a well done franchise in every department from graphics to story. absoulte masterpiece. Gustavo came through in both games, what a amazing soundtrack.
I would love to live in tlou universe
To help around in Jacksonville, to meet Ellie, to visit Joel's grave, to smell that apocaliptic air, the fear from tomorrow..........
I really felt that I'm there when I was playing this apocalipse simulator
Where would a safe state be to live in the crisis?
i've noticed that it's the kind of game that doesn't put any pressure on you
Ellie can stay at the same place for hours and the game won't tell anything to you
This music inspires me, it makes me want to become a better person and at the same time it makes me realise how harsh life can be. Help those around you, do not expect anything from them in return. Help doesn't come from the helped, be happy that you are not the one in need. Do not lose hope, do not lose faith...
T L O U II was incredible!!!
Idk if y'all agree, but 9:20 (-ish) is where the best part kicks in. And then 11:18 (-ish) is where the best part of the best part kicks in.
pls do u know the name of this soundtrack?
@@jaaniela sadly not
Ellie: ah yes, rain, nice
Dina meanwhile: pain, suffering, vomiting, curled up on a couch
This game means the world to me, it's hard to explain how much I loved it, even though it was really, really sad. It hurts my heart to see Ellie ending the game alone, but I understand how important it was for her to get her revenge even if it meant losing Dina. What a masterpiece, Naughty dog.
Yeah at first you think that Ellie make a bad decision by leaving everything to find Abby but she had no other choice, her mind is in peace now, she can move forward in her life. Just the same as you, you don't know how much this game means to me, it's really much more than a game
When I went up onto that roof to turn the power on, I just hung out up there for a few minutes. It was very peaceful with the rain and the feeling of safety from everything you had faced throughout the day.
I did the exact same thing!
i cried 3 times during my playthrough. all three times were during parts with joel in them
"If somehow the Lord Gave me a second chance at that moment, i would do it all over again." - Joel. Honestly, that line was beautiful.
I have found my people! Lol it does me good to see all these positive comments. Ive seen a little bit, not alot of why people were bitching and frankly thought these people were naive or just need to feel validated. How that happens thru rancorous hate is beyond me tho. Both parts 1 and 2 were emotionally gripping and the story was impressive in its writing. Im glad to see an outpouring of love for such an accomplishment. I feared all the slander would overshadow an amazing story and their impeccable voice talents.
I'm also very happy to see so many people who loved the game
After a month, I`m still shattered! I`m still crying! I`m still .....
Same...
Same
I'm in the middle of an incredibly stressful period of work and study, your videos about TLOU2 and Death Stranding are literally keeping my mind sane, thank you really
I hope the stress goes away fast.
The sound effects in this game BLEW MY MIND, especially the guns and shattering glass.
to call this a game is an understatement, to have not only these life like characters with emotions, lives and goals but backed by this incredible soundtrack, visuals and story, it makes for a truely amazing experience, say what you will about the story, like it or not you cant deny this is yet another fantastic creation by naughty dog, and i truley hope they continue to thrive as a company in the future and continue to keep me excited for what incredible stories they have to share with us next
Reading all these teary-eyed reminiscent comments and the rain vibes takes me right back to Owen’s aquarium
One of the very few interactive experiences that moved me to the brink of tears. This, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit.💓
say anything about the story but this damn game gives me hell of an emotional rollercoaster everytime I play.
I loved this rainy area in the game. I totally hung out and enjoyed the atmosphere for a while.
This game made me an emotional person. When it rains, i listening this game's relaxing musics. I guess this game can be one of the greatest video games of the world.
Thank you Naughty Dog.
На душе становится так необъяснимо спокойно, но в то же время и печально. Спасибо Нилу Дракману за эту историю!
🔥
The other day I saw a comment that left me wondering a lot, because it says Ellie was the last of us.
i under estimated the power of that instrument , didn't know it could bring so much vibe
im literally going to bawl my eyes out i swear. no game ever made and will make me feel so many emotions
This game is masterpiece. So much better than the first one 👏👏
It's the quiet periods of the game that allow the narrative to function.
This is actually helping me get through my finals
I listen to this while studying and writing essays. Can't wait to replay this game once I'm finished with university!
I have to play this game once again. It's an incredible piece of art.
One of my fav games TLOU2 is born and the one who will recreate it didn't born yet
I return to this every month,
I have never thought i had be in love with animated character and that is ellie 💕
I cant deny the fact that this game is a masterpiece .... This is literally the best game I've ever played . No other game has ever played with emotions at this level and still live up to my expectations. I understand the hate this game is getting because of the story ....this game is differently build and I respect that. Naughty dog did a great job .
I can see the Last of us as a legend that will be passed from generation to generation. This is not just a game or a movie anymore for it delivered something greater than that. This brings a totally new Immersive experience. I cant express into words my awe and love for this game
The atmosphere of this game is like my soul. Tired, gloomy and homogeneous
Don't forget lonely as hell, like even when you're riding around with Dina the music and the atmosphere just seems so lonely.. the banjo and guitar just strumming along....
@@hakeem.jwilliams7406 Yes I agree with you
This has been my go to music for taking exams. 10/10 would recommend
I genuinely don't understeand why people hate this game, it's beautiful and deep. I've never cried because of a game before but this one got me
I think they couldn't have done a better job with this game.
This is what post apocalyptic civilization is about!
amazing soundtrack, beautiful atmosphere.
Loved it
The last of us have a wholesome soundtrack,it's just...perfect.
The best visuals ever made and the storyline is just awesome.how could the director visualise the things for this script .so deep
4:08 The Ellie and Dina theme are so touching and beautiful.
This theme are " The Cycle of Vengeance Continue "
Thank you for all this music! I'm listening it for the whole day long ♥
most of the criticism is over Joel's death we all knew Joel wouldn't be around forever and now for once in her life Ellie is on her own so she needs to use what Joel taught her and survive
I haven't played the game, only watched a gameplay as I didn't have the console needed. but man, man the whole plot, characters, soundtrack and environment ? the way we experienced both sides and came to understand their actions ? they were all too good. I wish I'll be able to play this series myself in the future.
knew you would pick this spot
:)
Whoever is behind it ..... he created a masterpiece .... it's like the first great love that only exists once in life
The composer is Gustavo Santaolalla, the same guy who composed TLOU 1 soundtrack
this music has such a special undescribable vibe, feels so cozy and warm yet so cold and has an abandoned feeling, like if u agree
Please make something like that but more with sounds of surroundings and less with music. With rain of course 🌧 I need something for reading 📖
This games is just amazing it's weird to describe I loved the first game and I think.this one is so much better emotionally I played and and finished this about a week after it came out and still.havent gone back to play it again yet just cause of the emotional side and the detail.in the story is incredible. Easily.the best game I've ever played
Dude, I can confess this is my fav UA-cam video, you made it, that's all
I don't mind dying alone in the woods if this is playing in the background.
playing as ellie was amazing
abby on the other hand was bitter but doable
At first i was really not happy, but as I went and grew to understand her character more and more, and now looking back retrospectively, I like the character and look forward more so to my second run through with her plot. It was an extremely gutty call by naughty dog, but one that the gaming industry will thank down the line.
@@KingJTT131 Yeah, I honestly grew to love Abby.
i really didn't like her, i hated her even

and another games
Amazing work

i personally think that TLOU2 was just too complex for most people with the expectations of games to be very clear cut and appeasing the fans being the only priority. TLOU2 is a realistic perspective into a individuals life during a crisis. anyone around her was subject to death no matter their standing, because in reality death won't worry about that. unseen circumstances happen and humans do terrible things when pushed to.
in TLOU2 we are especially shown true human nature; regret, pain, hardship, envy, revenge, hate, ignorance, empathy, guilt. we are shown the perspectives of two sides in this story. in reality, neither is a good nor bad person. they are just people. people who have both done terrible things but have also done such in defence of who they care for. this is human nature in its essence. in this world, there is no law binding people to not commit taboo things. moral obligations are broken down and humans now act as what comes naturally rather than having something guide them. human nature isn't pretty nor 'good'. .nature is unbiased and 'harsh'. nature is subjected to everyone, and there's no stopping that in this world in particular.
in ellies side, who we have been travelling and experience her perspective with, we have grown attached to her. her immunity gives her this status of importance that we subconscious use to value her higher than the dozens of dozens of others she has killed for a questionable cause. her immunity is constantly in question of actually being of use to anyone else other than her, and in the first game i think it really capitalises on this importance throughout. to where, we don't even question joel killing an entire hospital of people just to save one humans life. because we are being empathic, and being drawn into this sense of greater being that ellie is to everyone else. then in the second game, ellie doesn't have that importance anymore.
not everything goes her way anymore, she isn't this 'light' in the dark. she's now just like everyone else, which she had always been. and the actions of the past catch up, with joel dying being the main sign of this. ironically, she has immunity but is no longer immune to the cruel nature of this cruel world they live in.
while she does reach out for contentment in her life and wants to separate herself from further pain, which is shown very clearly when herself and dina are finally living their dream despite what has happened, despite causing so much more pain to abby - she is even spared to live. she finds herself still filled with guilt of not doing anything and guilt of what joel thought of how ellie viewed him. not being able to get that revenge that she needed to justify her own emotional turmoil, was what really drove her. that guilt was there because of her, and there was nothing that could change that. so she instead, is coaxed easily by tommy to go 'finish' what she 'needed' to do. tommy equally projecting this guilt as he feels he didn't make up for what happened to his brother.
this is as human as humans get. we are very complex beings, we attach to things and dig up things as our concept of time either goes by or drives us insane if we let it. does it always make sense? no it doesn't, but that's the point. sometimes we just don't really know. in the end of the game it projects this. ellie doesn't really want to go through with this and her blank expression while getting to abby projects her inner thoughts; her questions, her guilt leading her, her insecurities that joel couldn't forgive her, questioning if joel would of wanted this. a sea of thoughts roam her mind leaving her a mess with not a clear goal in sight. at this point, ellie has lost herself. and while she had took even more from abby like her friends, her home and future. abby had found all of that back with lev. a reason to go on, an answer.
i think this perspective makes the last fight a lot more concluding and makes it very symbolic with many metaphors in place. while ellie has this sea of thoughts and emotions, she fights by the sea - while abbys 'answer' is separated from it. ellie had been avoiding fully confronting her thoughts through these couple chapters, and now she was finally confronting them, along with the root cause - being abby. as the fights comes to a close and ellie sees that she can finally rip out the root. she remembers, confronts and realises. that this will solve nothing but add abby to this sea. she stops.
as a viewer, we are met with confusion and anger. we think, we are thinking for the better of ellie. while ellie has just got her answer. she finally remembered her reason for why the senseless pain wasn't worth fighting for anymore. she realises that abby had already found this, and taking that away from her would make her no better. they had been in the same footsteps the entire time.
while we can argue who was a better person all day, that is down to personal ethics and morals. in essence, they are neither good nor bad people. like i said before, they are just people. people who have both done terrible things but have also done such in defence of who they care for.
The last of us 2 is reality. And people simply don't like confronting that. Ironic? isn't it. We end up becoming what the story was getting over.
You are a godamn genius.
Gonna listen to this at university
TLoU already made me cry but now Part 2 as well. When movies can't get me crying, then it has to be a game. Just a wonderful game. Let's see how Part 3 will be if there will be one (I really hope so)
I love reading the comments about how emotional it made people, completely different then what I was seeing when it first came out.
