As Troy Baker (aka Joel) once said: "Joel sacrificed the world to save Ellie. But for Joel, Ellie was his whole world". So I think we could all agree with his decision .

Yeah dont lol. Im an average gamer and always play on normal difficulty. But played all difficulties for the TLOU cuz its my fav game ever. Needless to say it was absolute hell and certain parts just seemed impossible to do lol.

For the bloader part at 6:50 it is important to notice that the other zombies will drop the type of ammo adequately to the weapon you're holding + the best weapon for the bloader is a rifle - just make sure to run around the map, kill zombies, pick up ammo and shoot the bloader
Fun fact mythbusters did an episode with a real ninja and not only was he able to dodge arrows he was able to catch em mid air while they were shot at him
great vid rob. The reason why David kept finding you in stealth was because there is broken plates/ glass on the ground which i don't think you noticed.
Seriously, the guy only know how to shoot. If you can't even understand basic stealth mechanics, it's obvious you'll get a much worse experience on grounded.
@@92brunod well not everyone has attention to detail/is good in stealh gameplay. my first playthrough was also really sloppy, you don't know the tricks and when you need to stealh or to go furtive. i think he did pretty good anyways, i've replayed this game multiple times and I don't think I would be able to do this lol
In my personal opinion, I feel like Joel saving Ellie was the right thing. Sure, you could argue that he doomed humanity, but at that point, we were already screwed. And even if Joel let the Fireflies complete the surgery, there's no guarantee they would have yielded a cure, as none of the surgeons, especially the head surgeon, had any real understanding of nor proper training for that kind of surgery. Furthermore, even if a vaccine had been created, I highly doubt Marlene and her Fireflies would just give it out willingly, they would abuse it for seizing power from the militia.
I agree. The fireflies would make the vaccine a cost, they’d abuse it to make them look like the good guys. The military would then be washed out, only leaving the Fireflies to rule.
I never thought there was a platinum trophy more soul crushing than the Arkham trilogy platinum. Damn. (I bet rob has ptsd cuz of this platinum and the Arkham trilogy platinum)
No Rob, thank YOU for providing us with some solid content and great videos. It was the best stream ever and I'm glad to have been a part of it. Now do bloodborne please 😊
8:5525:5535:00 I can’t tell you how many hours it took me to finish these sections😭 I think i was playing on grounded because i really couldn’t find ammo 😭
It's fun to see how others were doing on parts that were hard for me. The only difficult area for me was the library section. Everything else was pretty easy. I died 15-20 dies in the last section and a dozend times on other hard sections. Whereas I died 35-50 times in the library being stuck for a week.
The library? You can walk past it or stealth everyone. It's one of the easiest spots for stealth. I have to assume you wanted to shoot everyone like this guy from the video or something.
@@92brunod considering you are required to kill all for the plat here, yes I had to kill everyone. No, you're not be able to stealth kill everyone on your first playthrough. You have no idea where any enemies are. You will get caught.
One of the Best games made. Wish they would have kept the old trophy list though Platinumed this game 3 times ps3 ,4 ,5 and the original and remastered really make you work for it way more than the ps5 version. Gotta beat it twice on highest difficulty, upgrade all weapons fully, plus the Multiplayer.
100% agreed. However after experiencing the story 100 times trough all kind of medium.... Not gona lie the story just doesn't hit as much. However yeah one of the best stories.
I just got this plat today.. I don't do well with horrors either as I have anxiety and a faster than normal heart rate so some of it really got me and was so intense😅 if it weren't for the story I definitely would've given up on the game😂 the one with David and have to stab him in the back multiple times seriously made me anxious too!
We understand why he did it, and probably would’ve done the same. But at the end of the day it was a selfish choice and he met the consequences of his actions 😕
@@calexxelac2457if I recall correctly, there is no way to vaccinate against fungal infections *especially* in 2013. There is no guarantee that slicing Ellie up would’ve made a cure. It would’ve been another senseless death to add to the end of the world. They didn’t know if it was something genetic in Ellie or something they could study. There was *no* guarantee Ellie would’ve helped anything
Such a great game! Well done man, grounded is not easy. I did it on PS3 and PS4. On PS5 i don’t have the time and motivation for it. But i got the platinum ❤
The whole sneaking up behind all the npc thing is literally exactly what I did for that part I just stayed in a corner and every time one would go to look at the dead body I would just go behind them!😂
So funny story about dodging arrows, our old principle in high school was a very high level karate guy, and he would do demos where he caught arrows shot at him.
13:25 I recently got done with Platinum this game as well, and I didn't know this was also a trophy, lol. I unintentionally got it because I didn't know if there's a different route or if you can just climb up after
so i decided to do my first ever playthrough on grounded and i only need one word to describe what i'm going through as im still playing through at this moment and that word is pain
People who also played know 8:50 is indeed one of the hardest part of the game even if you kill that guy who snipes you on the right they keep throwing Molotovs and kill you man this part was so hard
It’s took me quite a while to get this trophy it’s one of the only achievements I’ve got on a console that I’m proud of, I hope they make a 2nd game soon.
I’ve been beating myself up over the fact that there’s so many games that I have that don’t have platinum. I have 12 platinums so far but I feel like I havn’t achieved anything
FUN FACT: as in game, Survivor is the hardest one since the enemies are tougher and harder to defeat in any possible aspect like QuickTime events, stealth and combat itself. what makes grounded the real deal is that they put you with realistic abilities and effects such as killing and dying yourself from 1-3 shots in most weapons AND they remove all the HUD, you cant see the amount of bullets you have charged, only the total of bullets you got on you, you cant see your life, which is divided in four stages now, the first two that are green (as shown in the controller) and the other two are red (again, as shown in the controller), the first one means you haven’t been damaged, the second one means that you have but barely and you’re less than a couple of hits away from red, you might as well eat one or two candy bars to gain the health back, the first red one means you’re barely holding up you can make it but be careful since you’re one shit from any heavy weapon and two shots from light weapons to die, last stage in red means that its impressive you got that low without dying yet and you must immediately patch yourself because you’re one hit from literally anything at all (from a normal punch to a buckshot) to die. Thats the reasoning i use since after finishing my first play through on moderate i played the rest of the whole game and many more play throughs on grounded and it was hella hard until i played one play through on very light because i wanted to focus on collectibles, after that i havent played any other mode than grounded (not to brag tho) (you can check out some of my vids btw) (and that last parenthesis was definitely not a SPAM)
not a long time ago, lets say 3 weeks, i've finished the second game, on grounded. now, previously, i ve played the game for like, 7 or 8 times. but i swear, it was living hell. thru the gameplay, i've repeated in my head dozens of times "i swear, if im not going straight to a madhouse after this, i deserve to play it once again on very light." and i survived the grounded. the secret was to go stealthy, you can actually find useful videos on yt about how to go stealthy on grounded. then i've been playing on very light, but i was so frustrated because i felt like it was... all of the sudden... too easy for me. i got very used to the grounded mode. after few minutes, i had to change the difficulty on moderate. the game is very, very easy. my personal best at speedruns were 4 hours and 27 minutes for the first game, and around 12 hours for the second. give this game a shot, ya'll :)
So for the people who didn’t play the game, what happened at the end was that Joel stabs the surgical knife into the neck of the surgeon and proceeds to (I believe) shoot a shotgun into all of the other surgeons in the room
For your next challenge, grounded with NO GUNS, which includes bow, crossbow, and flamethrower. You can use bricks/bottles, Molotovs, nail bombs, pipe bombs, trap mines, and smoke bombs. I’ve done this challenge 4 times on both games and improve my knowledge and skill every time
Rob does realize u can take out most of the humans silently right without ammo 🤣 and make so much fights so much easier man just starts shooting right away
