i love you guys I just wanted to say that down here in the comments usually I'd promote my feet pics but this time I just wanna say I appreciate you and I know that a lot of you will disagree with what I have to say in this vid and I think that's beautiful and interesting as fuck to talk about and it's what I love about video games but anyways stay safe gamers lets get them endorphins and seratonies goin in the chat I haven't slept in like 30 hours so words are hard but lets goooooooooooooooo
LOVE YOU BABE!!!!!
Can I still have your feet pics though? Btw this is a great video
feet pics when?
I love you Jakey, but like in a bro way, I hope thats ok
I think you’re wrong but good try man.
For all those interested I translated those weird symbols (Wingdings). It says:
"Hey guys I'm releasing new music soon hehe haha I love that you translated this xoxo"
I know Jakey too well at this point, he wouldn't mess up an opportunity like this.
Heck yeah
Well done sir very clever
I knew something was up with those wingdings
oh
wheres the time stamp?
How does Jakey even play the games he’s only like an inch tall on my phone screen
Oh you sombitch!!!
This interaction pleases my gremlin brain
Jakey I will fight you for making a video thanks so much
He plays on my screen. I have a giant wall-size TV that I have scaled him to real person size.
That's why the accessibility options in TLOU2 are so good, it even allows tiny lil baby men like Jakey to play it
I’ve lived in the midwest my whole life and I have never heard of Mendards before this video. After this video came out a Menards opened in my town, Jake summoned a Menards to my hometown and I’m scared.
Did you save big money?

Aw, dang. Guess I have to learn how to play the guitar and... Get stabbed. I've been here nearly 25 years and I still haven't done those.
Jake is such a sellout. This is just an ad for Menards. We see you.
I live in the midwest and Menards is my go-to
Won’t lie, when the jingle came on I was fucking shook.
As an employee, hearing that jingle for the billionth time made me want to hang myself but Jakey kept me powering through it.

Wow good to see you here dangelo
so happy that you commented from your second channel
Dangelo and jakey my 2 favorite commentators in one place
Raymando this is his first channel for me
I love the fact that almost all the clips of Jakey's BOTW gameplay features Link sniping enemies with a bow while wearing the Sheikah set. All roads lead to stealth archer.
I finally understand this reference
Oh man, BOTW is one of the few open world games that takes at least *some* influence from Bethesda games, instead of just going 100% Ubisoft. It doesn’t go for the "be anyone, do whatever", but it takes influence in other areas like how it focuses on making the world a cool place to be rather than a map full of activity markers.
Very good video, you put into words what my brain was too tiny to explain, thanks Yoga ball gamer

Damn, sorry Dad
Shit that's why you disappeared when are you going to come back.
Hi disappointed, I'm dad
This is the most subliminal Menard's commercial I've ever seen
I feel like all their ads are subliminal. That theme songs enough to cause PTSD.
The sheer fact that I sung along with Jakey during that bit shows how effective their commercials are.
I like how this game actually justifies Joel’s choice to save Ellie because of how much the cordyceps is a non issue in the future.
Yeah people don’t talk about that enough. The Fireflies were acting like the whole world was about to reach a point of no return and they needed to kill Ellie to make a cure without a moment to spare. Obviously adding to the facts that they had inexperienced scientists, no means of mass production, and a limited way of distributing the “cure” but that’s besides the point. A few years in the future Jackson is absolutely thriving, and there’s probably other cities out there also like it. Civilization was already over at that point in the first place, and the Fireflies seemed to have a god complex in thinking that they could return things to the way they were before 20 years after a zombie apocalypse with them as the leaders. Joel made the right choice saving Ellie.
@@philly_sports1558 to be fair, the biggest settlements, controlled and managed by the remnants of the US gov. was by all means a nightmare to live in with very little freedom.
So, by all means, the Fireflies at least had a point, maybe, about the current governments basically making the last survivors live as prisoners.

“In The Last of Us Part II, I became disappointed.”
That one line was like when your cool and funny uncle gets serious.

@StuckDucks Many people, including me, would disagree, I don't know how you would stretch a few days in Seattle and a day of Santa Barbara between multiple games, they even did both sides of the story for both of the characters and it still wouldn't be able to be put into multiple games, it would get very repetitive very fast, they left it at a good point, with Abby and Lev going to where the fireflies are trying to build up and Ellie knowing that Dina left her. The game was amazingly written and shouldn't be looked down upon as the big disappointment of 2020, I have played the game to death with over 26 playthroughs with 18 of those being grounded challenges. I hope you read this and take some of what I said into mind.
@@honestlyowain1121 I mean they coulda wrote it differently?
@@honestlyowain1121 Here's the thing though: In the first game you followed the same two characters without it getting repetitive. When people say that the writing is shitty in this game, they don't mean part II on it's own. If you look at it as a standalone, the writing isn't horrible, it's just bland. The issue people have is that they took established characters and had them do things that they would never do based on what we know of them. They had characters who had no place acting as stupid as they did do so for the sake of the narrative they wanted to tell. I imagine if they made this game as a standalone set in the same universe, it would've gotten far less flak.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and got your money's worth out of it with 26 playthroughs. However, that doesn't make it amazingly written, or even well written. I've enjoyed the hell out of games that were honestly dog shit. It is possible to enjoy something bad.
@@honestlyowain1121 There are also just as many that absolute didn't like this game at all. Actually, this was literally 3 entries smashed into one. And yes, they need more breathing space for each of the plotlines to be better developed and actually have weight and impact to it. It commits so many cardinal sins of bad writing (from expository dialogue that spells out character development that only matters in one or two scenes, contrivances and bad decision made by characters that go against their established traits or actions, and a bloated 3rd act that goes on for too long and unwittingly thrusts a new enemy group at the last minute, completely does a 180 on its themes in the most incredulously jarring matter, and ends up diluting its point by the very end of the game) that it is hard to ignore the issues upon a second go around. It doesn't help that this game offers nothing after beating it outside of extra difficulty modes and challenges. The pacing was complete slog to get through and I would have had each day back and forth and had the flashbacks be the introduction to the story instead. There is a good story here to tell but the structure and pacing dilutes and kills the emotional impact of those moments that should land.
Shout out to Menards, that place is terrifying, it's like a Costco had a baby with a Home Depot

To be fair to Gears of War, the reason why the characters slow down for dialogue scenes is so the game can load the next area, it's not purely for narrative. Most AAA developers misunderstood this and now we have slow walking gameplay segments where characters will rattle off exposition in our AAA games.
Really? Never knew that. I’ve also never played any Gears of War games.
First three are excellent, other ones are meh
Gears is garbage since second game
@samuelcourliss8496 I didn't like 4, but 5 is excellent. Can't speak for the multiplayer, but I remember loving the campaign. 3 is still my favourite, though.
Copycats missing the point of the thing they're copying? No way!
It's incredible how well you can get your point across while sprinkling in all kinds of editing gags. It would be so easy to have the gags distract from the video over all but you pace them so well that it works!

the only way that pregnant soldier works out as a plot point, is if you don't know anything about pregnancy and think it just makes you big and a bit slow.
They 100% included it for a girl power moment without realising how stupid it is.
@@danieldimov8625 Think they included it because she wasnt actually a soldier going to the frontlines like Jakey implied, shes a medic moving from one area to another area and gets ambushed, pregnant people are still capable of sitting in a truck which is really all she expected to be doing.
@@connorbranscombe6819 Is that why she was carrying a gun around? Simply climbing onto the truck is dangerous enough at the stage she was at. And think about it, the world ended almost 25 years ago, humanity is slowly rebuilding but the world still is extremely dangerous and filled with zombies and cults like the one we see in the game. Humans are needed more than ever, so children and pregnant women are of extreme importance. So what do we do? Let's just send out a heavily pregnant woman out there, fuck it why not. Even if she was only a medic, the simple fact she isn't inside the stadium where her and her child are safe is extremely stupid and non-sensical. At no point throughout the Abby section do we get hints that the WLF are so short on hands that they send out someone like Mel. It's just a girl boss moment that makes no sense.
At least it's not as bad as Wolfenstein 2 where the pregnant lady is in the enemy base guns blazing throwing grenades shirtless

@@VagueNaming using powers some may consider..... unnatural
Honestly this is the best explanation and breakdown of this game and why it's so disappointing
@@rileymachelle4088 ehhh, yea.. I dont think Ellie forgave Abby at all in the end though, I think Ellie had more of a revelation about Joel rather than Abby, or Ellie didn't have a revelation at all on the beach but instead was so completely overwhelmed with uncertainty that she broke down into tears.
I loved the game but I can clearly understand why people dislike it: Goopy goblin gamer brain says "idc I wants ta shoot ppl now" and understandably so. The story is definitely not nearly as concise and airtight as it's predecessor, and characters aren't given the time to be nearly as relatable as they were in the first game, though I feel the game's main intentions were to make you sad, angry, happy and empty at times, they want to test tribalism and how far you will go until questioning the characters actions. They want to reignite the flames of Joel and Ellies relationship. I feel the most beautiful contrast between the two endings of the games is that in tlou1 Joel lied to Ellie to try and preserve their relationship, in tlou2 Joel and Ellie tell their truths and the way they feel and it shatters their relationship, though it is still hopeful and leads to the path of recovery and forgiveness.
Why I wrote all of this is beyond me, I just really appreciate this game I guess, even with it's flaws. It's one of the only stories that I have ever seen that requires so much of me and my emotions to work and it's holy unique.
You can tell that they did the relationship between Joel and Ellie well when whenever Ellie is in about to be killed by a dude the player instantly feels that urge to drop everything and help her
Yeah in like every Lets Play I’ve ever seen, the moment when one of the hunters pulls Ellie out of the car and you have to save her, everyone is like “Don’t you fucking touch her!!!!!” It’s pretty cool because you’re feeling the same feelings that Joel is in that situation.
Jakey sounds like he's tryin not to wake up the neighbors tonight.
[ _silent screaming intensifies... mildly_ ]
Such a respectful boy
"I know it goes against my cardinal rule, but I could eat the glass in this game" that had me laughing like nothing else.
So my theory for Jakey not uploading is that Naughty Dog devs weren't happy about his opinions and literally put a alligator under his bed and it fucking ate him
Hey that's a good game as your pro pic
Im going to have to agree, although it could’ve been something more discreet. Like 100 rats or 10000 fire ants
Went out like Carl Weathers in Happy Gilmore
Nah the anti lou2 crowd definalently did that to him.
Yall were ruthless with dunkey and looking at the 10k dislikes I bet a majority were mad that he was nice about the game
@@dennisbowen452 what about the 300k people who...liked it tho? What are you even talking about?
I can’t find who said it for the life of me, but someone said that the game clicked when they saw Abby on that post at the end of the game because they thought she was already dead. Someone else had gotten to her before Ellie could. Yeah she’s dead, but ELLIE wanted to kill her. A hollow feeling starts as the cycle of violence was all for nothi-
Oh motherfucker she’s still alive?
Reminds me a bit of Silent Hill 3. Actually when you come to think of it, the very basic plot of tlou 2 is somewhat similar to Silent Hill 3.
Very very good point. Because you know whats a show that did thst and its payoff was absolutely fantastic? Vinland Saga
fuck that would be so much better, god damn
It was purposeless rabbit holes
Missed the point of the game AGAIN. It's all for nothing because it's not only useless but AN OBJECTIVELY BAD THING TO DO to still seek revenge and kill her. She's actively saving a kid's life by being alive herself, all of her actions were justified, she showed herself being the better person again and again and Ellie STILL!!! STILL misses the point, as most players did.
why do you have a gator under your bed.

@Shaman Xeed Truth. Yeah, and fucking 5v5 games. Perfect breeding ground for shitty behaviour. It was better when we had community servers in old games. People would shit talk OTHER SERVERS, not each other. Zoomers who only know how to sit in a matchmaking queue will never understand what it was like to be in your favourite server within 25 seconds of launching the game.

The ai in the game were so intelligent that they contradicted the small brain message of the story. They’d beg for their life if they were wounded then shot you as soon as they got a chance.
Sounds like you’re the one with the small brain and just didn’t understand the story.
It’s the duality of man

The gameplay and gamedesign in general was absolutely stunning. No other game comes even close.
The story is the problem with this game and even that is executed well
@@yipperdeyip He didn't say the gameplay was bad, he said the game DESIGN was bad. He said he enjoyed the hell out of the combat. Also, if your gameplay actively heavily conflicts with your story, like the comment you are replying to, it in a way is bad gameplay. You don't get the title of the video, because that's all you read, you can't say you don't get the video, because you haven't watched it.

How did you know that?
Literally my first thought when I beat the first LOU was "Fuck, they better not make a sequel because that was perfect."
After playing 2 for the first time last year, I am treating it like the Avatar Movie. It doesn't exist
Finally, someone I'm in sync with.
I’m glad they did, because the sequel was vastly superior to the original
I find it funny that people praise the first game when it is the most bog standard story there is.
@@Etherchannel Ouch. Video game stories aren't great to begin with so it doesn't have to seriously compete against much, I agree, but it is definitely not bog standard. The ending is not a "bog standard" ending.

This video was four months ago. Your comment was a week ago . That's a fucking legend there
If the time line of previous videos is anything to go by something should be coming out really soon?
Hopefully
I literally played the entire final mission of Dishonored without killing anyone because Samuel told me he didn't like the killer I had become and alerted the guards. Then, when I played Dishonored 2, I did a whole no kill run for as long as I could, because of the impact my choices made from the first game. Brilliant game mechanic to have the story change based on your bloodlust!
I actually hate that concept. I straight-up never played Dishonored again after they ran at me with that bullshit.
I don't mind being a pacifist, I mind that the game gives me so many fun ways to kill people, and then says "but nah that fucks up the story, play the more boring version of the game." Like Undertale does it excellently, where the pacifist run has mechanics that are actually enjoyable and interesting. Same reason I hate that killing people in Phantom Pain makes you a demon. Like, why the fuck would you hand me a rocket launcher and a tank, and then say "Yeah but nah, you shouldn't
use that, use this silencer pistol instead of A FUCKING ROCKET LAUNCHER"????????
Someone Illegal actually if you’re talking about the scoring system in the phantom pain you can kill people and still get an S. Just do missions super quickly and you can get S rank basically no matter what (within reason). But I understand what you mean and I had the same experience.
@@wakkjobbwizard No there's actually a feature where if you kill too many people you become a "Demon Snake", where your horn grows and the blood stays on you until you do enough nice stuff to offset it. It's called a karma system or something.
Building a nuke gets it too. And that's even fucking dumber cause there's a trophy that wants you to build a nuke.
One of the greatest sentiments of accomplishments I got in videogames was when I solved the Jindosh lock in Dishonored 2 all by myself, without knocking out or killing anyone of the people I would had to to get the combination provided by the game.
Someone Illegal I think Dishonored 2 is a little better because of this cause all of your weapons and tools do have a purpose in nonlethal due to the addition of the bloodfly nests. Though it does lose a-lot of the charm the first game had in other areas.
Jakey just pulled a big daddy level "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed" on naughty dog damn
That's the best way to put it, love this.
If you're mad at the game, you're looking for a fight. If you're disappointed, you are a fan of NaughtyDog and the first game. Most sane people are just disappointed.

@@FKyoutubeSERIOUSLY most sane people loved the game
@@victor_734 I'm not invalidating you. You can exist with that opinion while I exist with the opinion that the game is unplayable halfway through.
When a video game tries to guilt me into involving myself with a cycle of violence but provides me no alternative to doing the violence, I just do the violence harder to spite the game.
👌😂
Although a little bit different as it's more similar to the story of tlou1 in this regard , I think the original Nier game did this much better ( also no real spoilers but i'd be talking about vague story " outlines " so i'd still avoid reading if you haven't played it ) , where you're set on a specific path of violence throughout the story and the game flips it on you in the end by revealing information you haven't been told before . but it works cuz it's a lot more complex than tlou2's message of just saying killing bad , don't kil . Plus , it challenges your view of the game and your actions all while giving you a hard choice at the end , I want to talk about the details but I don't wanna spoil it cuz a remake is coming next year and I think it's a game that everyone should play without knowing much about the story
@@lynackhilou4865 cool read, never finished the first one but adore it to this day, thank you
Exactly. At that point I’m doing it out of frustration. The game is trying to make a statement about how “violence is bad”, whilst actively encouraging only violence. Thats why when the character’s in the cutscenes are having a moral dilemma, I’m going ultra John Wick once the gameplay starts.
Flower_Tower good for you, my guy. I personally wasn’t a fan gameplay-wise, but I though the story was dope af. Automata was where it was at for me on both ends
"Danny" has a Wiki page and it's pretty funny after watching this. "Trivia: Danny is never seen alive in-game."
Well, maybe, but that sucks way more than imagining that Danny was someone the player killed and built up a relationship with in gameplay without realising.
Really? I thought Danny was the guy who got hit by Ellie when she burst into the room. He was also the guy who _really_ wanted to kill her before they left.
@@lunamaster123 nope,in the game they said Danny went on a mission with Owen and the reason why Owen didnt come back its because he was the one who killed Danny

Man, that "only one outcome" where Abby and Ellie fight and Abby dying is a Game Over got to me. I really wanted to just let Ellie win that situation but it wouldn't let it happen.
Ellie did win that situation, letting Abby go was the only scenario where Ellie won.
At the end of it all, I was a sad that I was fighting Abby. I honestly didn't want to kill her
The only way ellie could win in this game is if she never left jacksonville after joel dies. The moment she steps out she lost.
I absolutely hated how you couldn’t kill Abby. That game was such a middle finger 😂
Same, that is how you are meant to feel but people want status by showing off how much they hate Abby etc@@DJVideso

* laughs in MauLer's 15 hour TFA review *
Jakey's line "I became disappointed" was so unfiltered and raw that I genuinely felt punched in the gut. What powerful presentation, excellent video as always.
i know right, it felt like i was responsible for the game or something it made me feel bad for how it turned out
I genuinely hope they try to remake this game, possibly with Joel and Ellie "reconnecting" while on a hunt for Abby, because Abby killed Tommy or something. The end could be Abby killing Joel, Ellie killing Abby, and then Ellie mourning over Joel, the same way he mourned Sarah from the first game. It'd be a poetic shift of POV from the father mourning daughter, to daughter mourning father. It would be so much more profound
@@gyojinsho9737 No ❤️

You know what game did this “Revenge is bad” thing much better? Sifu. An extremely different type of game, but hear me out. You start off being killed alongside your dad, but you come back for a reason you don’t know yet and you go to kill all the people responsible, who comprise of this small group of martial arts masters with magic powers, but is lead by someone who isn’t shown to have any real power that would help him in combat (some heavy MGS3 inspiration there) and the games immersive, difficult and satisfying combat helps you on this quest, you don’t even kill everybody along your way- some maybe, but the wide majority of jobbers can be seen writhing on the floor in pain, you’re just trying to get to the people on top who you know are responsible for the death of you and your father. You feel like an absolute badass taking everyone down, and when you finally get to the last guy, the conversation you have reveals that he was practically your older brother, he has all of your moves and probably uses them more effectively than you at this point in the game. When you finally kill him you find out that he killed your father because he wanted to get to this magic pendant that would bring back his wife and daughter, but after realizing his mistake he decided to give it to you. To which you are given a message along the lines of “To use Wude is to show that you can easily beat someone, and when you decide not to, they won’t want to fight anymore.” This gives you at least a base level of guilt, and as you replay through the campaign, you find out that all of the figure heads are kind of pathetic, each with their own problems. In order to spare them all, you essentially have to make the situation harder for yourself, and extend the fight, and then spare them just before handing them the finishing blow. This strategy makes you feel like you are doing the right thing, while still making you feel like a badass, so the quality of the game is not diminished by the story. And sparing the last boss is an extremely difficult task, because he doesn’t want to be forgiven and makes it as hard as possible to spare him, by the time you’ve gotten the good ending, you feel like a true unbeatable master, yet you feel smarter and wiser than when you started, and the best thing is that it was all your choice, the game naturally directed you to do the bad thing first without forcing you, you could’ve gotten the best ending first time around but it manages to make you feel bad for your choices, and satisfied when you rectify them- I don’t think it could’ve been done better.
Also another thing is that you dont kill in your violent playthrough but make enemys bleed not very noticable but like spitting mouth blood typa thing but when you do the pacifist route they spit spit

I beat the game awhile ago, but now just found your review. 100% agree. The gameplay and story points absolutely cudgel you into a corner and manipulate you emotionally. The flashbacks with Joel and Ellie highlighted what the game could’ve been, but in the end it was all too little too late to recoup what the last game did so exceptionally well.
Its officially been a year. I just hope he's been doing alright. UA-cam shouldn't be his priority but I still miss him all the same.

Hey Jakey. Doubt you will see this but we all notice it’s been a while since any updates from you I just wanted you to know that you were a big part of not just my life but many others every time I watch you I get a huge hit of nostalgia and it feels like I’m hanging with a good friend from my childhood who shared in a lot of experiencing. I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you and I hope what ever you are going thru you making it out because we love you and miss you man

It breaks my heart how in the last like two minutes of the video Jakey, who is this otherwise sweet guy, becomes so downtrodden he can't even make any jokes about it. It really does show just how much NaugtyDog didn't just drop the ball, they threw the ball into a pit and lit it on fire.
And ND--esp Troy and Druckmann--were SO condescending to any players who criticized the game, no matter how respectful they were being while giving criticism. It's giving Bethesda's lead writer telling everyone that ACTSHUALLY, Starfield is a masterpiece and we're all just too dumb to get it. Like, nobody is saying Joel shouldn't have died. They're saying he shouldn't have died an hour into the game, shouldn't have died the way he did, and his death shouldn't have been followed by forcing us to play as his *extremely* unlikeable killer. He should have agreed to help Ellie on her quest for revenge (let's say Abby attacked their settlement or whatever and killed Dina) and then he should have died in the late game as a result of Ellie choosing violence over peace, if the "revenge bad" narrative was what they were shooting for. Instead we got "Revenge bad, but only if it's Ellie doing the revenge-ing." As soon as I hear Neil say "TLOU Part 1 was about love. Part 2 is about hate," I knew it was going to be a f*cking disaster, and I was right. The reason TLOU1 was so good was BECAUSE of that love. And trying to make Abby's dad retroactively good was so fucking stupid, god. Abby sucks, her dad sucks, and ND gave us no reason to like either of them.
I thought it was insane that they didn't parallel Ellie helplessly watching Joel getting killed by Abbey with Lev helplessly watching Abbey getting killed by Ellie. The flashback to Joel meant so little in the moment, if Lev was crying and begging for Abbey to get up it would've been so much more satisfying and made way more sense. Ellie in that moment fully realizing that during her self-righteous journey of justice that she was the villain, and would make the punishment of finding the house empty and her ability to play guitar, her connection to Joel, gone because of her unjust actions, a legacy lost to fury.
That's a very good idea that would create better justification at least for the ending.
oohh...i really wish this was d ending to the game..would have made so much more sense...kudos to u..i'm just gonna assume from here on that that's what happened
That sounds good but, you see on this planet, it’s not
Wow, you actually just made the ending 100000x better...
i also feel like if ellie only realized she was the bad guy a second too late and abbey was already dead and she tries saving abbey and regretting her decisions of killing abbey right infront of the kid and sympathizing with him but not being able to do anything to change what she did, i feel like would've also really enhanced the message of how destructive violence is and how bitter revenge is
Me and my brother use the term "murder hobos" instead of "goopy goblin brain"
but its effects only take place when we play together. Would be rough to have that all the time... so much sawdust... too many bees... poor Jakey.
Sounds like you and ur brother play D&D if you mention murder hobo xd, I'm surprised ludo narrative dissonance is only mentioned when talking about video games cuz it can easily apply to D&D with a bad story or more commonly murder hobo players
Murder hobbo is about being a psycho. Goopy goblin brain is about wanting gameplay in general.

I love exploring in this game. Find new equipment, cards, letters was very meditative for me.
Point about body bag in the morgue is very good by the way. Never thought about it, it would be really great extension for immersion and atmosphere.

Before I realized I was already crying in my third failed attempt jake was already spoiling me the entirety of the game
4 months without Jakey, days are getting longer and darker, don't know how much longer I will survive.

The line before the mic drop still hits harder than the entirety of the last of us part 2, even a few years later
In grade school my friend Johnny would say, “Save no money at MeNERRRDS!” Johnny was a genius and our local Menards almost closed they were roasted so hard.
fucking gotem.
He didn’t have to do them like that
Can confirm. I was Johnny
What a mad lad
We have a mattress shop with a jingle "sleep country canada, why buy a mattress anywhere else" and ol Johnny, genius of elementary school, mockingly sang "why buy a mattress when you can sleep on the couch"
sleep country just couldn't recover from such a hot take. They closed a few years back.
The way Jakey raises his voice sounds like he doesn’t want to wake up his parents

Well, in defense of Far Cry 3, the plot itself acknowledges, that Jason is losing himself in the violence, to the point of abandoning a chance at escaping just to murder Vaas.
Actually he does the "completey abandon friends so i can stay on this cool island with the cool hot chick" after he kills vass
@@gamergaymer965 Actually, afrer he realizes that to stay on the island with that hot chick he has to kill his friends he stops himself (well player can choose to not kill them)

I also think in light of recent events that we shouldn’t forget that Druckman explicitly based the conflict between the WLF and Scars on the ongoing occupation of Palestine, makes this game even more absurd with its ideas around violence.
Could you provide a source for this? I haven't heard about it before
What ? How can you play this game and think “yea this is definitely about Israel and Palestine”, are you stupid ?

And when the world needed him the most. He returned
There's a Lebanese-Canadian dude that wrote a book called "Anima".
SPOILERS
The main character ends up leaving the bad guy stranded in the middle of nowhere so that vultures slowy pick him apart. That was good writing, because you didn't exactly know how the main character felt deep inside, as he was processing everything along the way. That was an unexpected take on revenge, which really stuck with me.
Ellie sparing Abby made some sense, but it was so poorly made clear why she did so that it just felt lazy. The game's visual identity is miles off the first game, since it's pretty much grey and wishy washy the whole time. Finally, Abby is unlikable as f*ck, simply put.
Part II was all over the place.

Tomb Raider suffers from the same problem. You kill a literal ton of people while playing, but the moment it's a cutscene. That's it, she can't pull the trigger. It's annoying af.
But Ellie always pulled the trigger until the very last fight
Ayyy a LBP profile picture 👉
That's rare to see nowadays
I don’t remember her drowning anybody with her bare hands the same way she almost watched Joel die
@@JDuzzle Thats the point, you are not creating the stories here, its already framed and you just have to be in the shoes of the characters. BTW (My personal opinion) the ending of the game is much more meaningful than you guys think and letting Abby go at that point is very justified. I would like to do a breakdown of it but I don’t have such a audience as these people on internet, the fact that they are the ones who don’t get it is kinda surprising.
agreed but that's the extent of it -- lara heavily breathing "I CAN DO THIS" as she mows through enemies. that's as bad as the game tries to make you feel about it. tlou2 is like a parent that clicks their tongue and waggles their finger at you for being a bad bad boy and shooting the dog that was about to rip out your throat
Did Jakey watch the debate and go, “The world needs more chaos” and then released a Last of Us 2 review ?
This is my first time watching your videos, I have subbed and completely agree with your viewpoint. I've always felt ND games were repetitive. BUT, the multiplayer of the first game is what was the true star. It took the very best, made it better, and still have an active multiplayer over 10 years later. The roller-coaster the Factions community has been put through by ND is a story all in of itself.
Oh boy. Yep. A huge misstep by ND. To not communicate about it properly has made it far far worse
