It ain't a stream of mine if I'm not whining and complaining about something. The seasoned veteran part of me is still running these games after 7.5 years and knowing what to expect instead of quitting.
I’ve been trying to beat this on grounded and this has help me significantly. Parts I was stuck on like the school and Hillcrest were basically skipped entirely due to your strategy. Thank you.
I mean, I just wanted to watch some tlou2 speerdruns thinking they were ~1year old What a surprise that WR in one of the categories was done just today I've also seen your tlou1 WR recently, good job, sir!
Yo mate thanks to you i finished this game in survivel with perma death but geez this loadingscreens are worst then a 20 ranked lose streak in league of legends
Great speed run Anthony! I followed along and was able to successfully beat the game on grounded! There were times I would watch an encounter you did 2-3 times before attempting and still would not execute as flawlessly as you did!
This game's loading screens are so long that sometimes I'll skip a cutscene and by the time it finishes loading I'll have forgotten what was happening in the game
He wasn't but literally beating its stalker colleague to death with just Abigail's fists of female fury was very satisfying! On Grounded difficulty, no less! 🏆
At the entrance of Seattle, wouldn't it be slightly faster to throw the generator cable over the fence with the door to open the first gate, then throwing it again over the higher fence, instead of going back towards the generator?
2:08:00 why do I keep getting spotted here and you're perfectly sprinting all the way to the door. And is the arrow even doing a headshot or you just distracting? Can't tell, This strat isn't working for me
I saw the tail end of this run, grats Ant! Best to leave the category for a bit, I agree. He is the only Twitch streamer I subscribe to, I just think it is a cool idea to fund a guy so that his job is to play 2 or 3 games for the rest of his life!
Hi Anthony - I tried your last tip and I can now connect my PS4 to my Mac so I can stream but whenever I remote play my controller stops working and the controls move to my keyboard. I really want to start playing like you and I tried searching online but I can't seem to find a way to stop it.
It assumes that you're away from your console when you're using remote play. That's why it turns off. Just connect the controller to the mac via usb, and it should work.
Figured as much, very impressive stuff. I tried a speedrun with just my own knowledge gained from my 7 playthroughs, while using your WR as a reference point for my time(granted with all modifiers minus the time slowing ones, on normal difficulty). Despite me straight up dead sprinting through every encounter, you beat me by 40 mins. Even with the time skips, I'm speechless on how quick you can do this on grounded. Well done my man. 👏
Impressive run. But I don't understand this guy: he's constantly complaining, looks mad and frustrated and look like doesn't even like the game. Why is he still running TLoU? I mean, I get it, hundreds of playthroughs is insane and can put one in mental facility, but isn't there a place for joy?
It’s his job. It’s like an artist getting frustrated when they can’t execute the perfect drawing they have in their heads and Photoshop keeps crashing and gives you tons of other technical issues. Being passionate about your work can make you sour when things don’t go right, especially when things are beyond your control. He loves TLOU, but trying to steer the game in a way that it goes in your favor after countless encounter practices can be stressful.
I'm seeing this video now and speedrunning these kind of games must be a pain. Apart from the loading times, more than half of the "playing" time is not actual playing, just walking and interactive cutscense. It must be frustrating to make a mistake after one hour of waiting and have to start all over again.
hey ant! congrats on the record! i was wondering if you ever considered editing a segmented run for part II? i think it'd be real nice to watch, especially in this game thanks for all the content and keep up the good work
how do you get like 8 hits out of the giant hammer during the Abby forest house fight??? That part would sure be a lot easier if I had that melee weapon the entire time, usually have to punch a bunch of runners
On the hit where it would break, it has to hit when they just finished squeezing through that tight space. If you restart checkpoint right after, you get the hammer and the hits back.
talked all kinds of sh** about followers saying part 1 is getting a remake then the remake releases less than a year later lol "that's where misinformation gets ya!"
1:43:47 one of the best shooting . Im watching some strats ,because maybe i play platinum for part 2 remastered soon .. Im not jsut stalking ,without purpose :D

I appreciate all your work but i have to say something, you are very good at aiming but you basically play the game knowing exactly how to dodge specific enemies and situations in a very "prepared" way, at 1:03:05 there are three enemies running in front of you they don't spot/shoot you and you call this run "Glitchless" ? It's not a complete glitch, but it's a technique for not being spotted by the AI in that specific moment so it's basically a glitch because normally three enemies would kill you in 2 seconds in that situation. I'm a little bit annoyed since yesterday i died a lot of times in that section and took me like 30 minutes, even tring your "technique" they spotted me.
It's not that they don't spot me. They're programmed to run to a certain spot and then start attacking. TLOU 1 has spots where enemies do that too. They'll attack eventually if you just stay there. But the moment you climb that last thing running past the 3 enemies, they become aggressive. So I slow down to give them time to get further away from me while also regaining my sprint.
Hey Ant (or anybody who can answer this), why do you put the framerate down to 30 FPS sometimes in this speedrun? Probably a noob question, but yeah, just wondering. Congrats on the WR!
This is the first Last of Us 2 speed run I’ve watched so there might be more specific reasons to it in this game. But in most games a lower frame rate just gives more leeway on certain things. So you’ll see he lowers the frame rate during fights where he has to line up hard shots. That’s (as I would understand) because it gives twice as much time where the shot can be lined up since it’s at half the speed. Other things are just oddities with games in general. Like how he mentioned in the boat section only getting the boost at the end of the rapids in 30 FPS instead of 60. I’m a Dark Souls speed runner and with 30 FPS in the original game you can actually jump way further than in the 60 FPS remaster which makes some skip sections harder to do. Hope this helped!
I’m a little late to the game but this was a good run. I am laughing though, because around this time last year We all kinda knew a part 1 remake was going to happen. The only person being a sucker was you my guy. 😂😂
This speedrun is so much better now on the ps5 version.
Almost zero load times, and a legit time tracker.
Pro is even faster
