@Adrian Castañeda he never would have let his guard down with strangers, that's just poor writing. He's only ever like this when Ellie is with him and they're not in immediate danger.
Black Valio This IS part 2 dumbass. You are literally seeing footage from Part 2, giving you much more insight into the stuff you liked from Part 1. Regardless of the ending. This shows the journey they both took.
They fucking botched it so hard it's unsalvageable. TLoU2's whole narrative is based on main characters acting UNREASONABLY fucking STUPID it's UNREALISTIC (Joel too trusting on Ma'am Golfer; Ma'am Golfer not even giving a second thought on killing Joel after literally being SAVED by him, Ellie sparing MA'AM after leaving a truckload of corpses in her wake because apparently revenge is fucking stupid; just to lazily tie up loose ends so it goes back to the moral of the story, apparently). They based plot points on those stupid out-of-character decisions. It's like they handed the whole screenplay to a highschool poindexter who literally has no idea about how fleshed-out these characters WERE, except they didn't and that adds to the disappointment everybody has in this game.
@@NickKS57 No. But the game should have started with scens like that... then introduce Abby and make her not kill EVERY character we loved in the first game... Sparing her in the end would have made more sense...
Yeah me too. I saw the leaks, but I was keeping faith that it would be good, but I was so wrong. Sure it is beautiful, but the ending is so terrible it just ruins the whole game for me
Sky Blue yeah I was going in with high hopes until the leaks, and fuck after seeing the ending and everything else for myself I’m so disappointed. It makes no sense to me that Ellie wouldn’t absolutely slaughter Abby for the terrible shit she did to Joel. And Ellie’s fingers being taken so she can’t play guitar (and being left all alone, which she said was her biggest fear in the first game) is just rubbing salt in the wound. Oh and they literally used a male character model with a sort of female face for Abby, just ridiculous.
DesertFox73 • I know I’m so so so upset rn. I’ve been crying for the past few hours over this game. I can’t believe it. 7 years of waiting for this. They could’ve made it so much better and so much different.
There could have been others ways to show why we're playing as Ellie instead of Joel... Killing him was just... I know he's done some awful things in the past, and karma was bound to happen... But Jesus I was expecting him to be killed by someone he recognized and realized whose life they ruined. Not a stranger.
@funny man One scene I remember from the last of us 1 was a bandit pretending to be injured in the road, and while Ellie is gullible enough to fall for it, Joel instantly sees through the act. It established him as someone who is knowledgeable and able to thrive in the post apocalyptic world..... so much for that
Oh man, Sarah had a birthday card for Joel that, if i remember right.. he never saw. It had a dinosaur drawing in it and i think something along the lines of referencing him as a dinosaur? Well Ellie does *exactly that* in this flashback. At least one thing they did well in this game
I had to pause when Joel asked “I do okay?” The emotions and tone when he said that and knowing what happened to Joel. I had to recollect myself for a minute. Goddamn.
i like how joels looks like the way he did when sarah died. Same shirt and everything. Hell, the water makes his hair more dark. from the back he looks young again.
@@alphagamer9505 - Joel deserved a happy ending. I hate when games kill off characters you love, like Arthur Morgan in RDR2. Actually I think if it would've been pretty cool if it was somehow revealed that Joel was actually a direct descendant of Arthur Morgan.
This right here should've been the second game, continuing from the fireflies since you can tell there were more at the end of the game and there could've been a new leader keeping this tone, pisses me off what they did.
I agree. I dont know why they specified this game as being Last of Us Part 2 rather than just a sequal if they were going to focus of different characters and a disconnected plot
this could have been an offspin adventure like this the whole game as Ellie slowly lean the truth and new characters are introduced, heck even keep Abby chasing them while we progressively learn of their intention. Just unfold the story slowly, explore the world and keep the bond father daughter the whole game instead of the Tiger Woods world tour stuff
I know! I was expecting a journey of Ellie trying to learn how to trust Joel again, or her slowly realizing what he had done! Then we learn how she found out and... Sigh....
Imagine this was the beginning of the game... And the whole game was an extension of the relationship between Joel and Ellie... And maybe at the end of the game Joel died because he tried to save Ellie again but in the end couldn't save himself...
That’s one of my points against this game, killing off a main character isn’t a bad nor a new idea, but when it’s a character like Joel who is so beloved amongst fans, it has to be done perfectly if not almost at least, with more story given to it, the way he died was very anticlimactic
If only Neil Druckmann focused on Joel and Ellie's relationship, as I wanted to see her learn how to swim, talk more on Sarah or Riley, the Fireflies, Ellie's immunity and what that means to her. Their bond is one of my favorite aspects from the first game, and how in a way Ellie saved Joel from the darkness that was succumbing him, but no. Joel goes through what John Connor went through while Neil thought many players want to see new, unlikeable characters or Abby naked. I am greatly disappointed.
Agreed. It is a lost opportunity for the things u just mentioned unless they decided to remake the sequel. I honestly would love if they make a DLC on the flashbacks and the dlc length is around 10-12 hrs.
Nah, Neil cared waay more about getting his "rEVenGe bAd CicLe VioLeNce GuYZ!!" message and diversity than actual focusing on his amazing previously established characters.
That's the first game copy bro.. Maybe you're too young to understand yet that life is tough especially in a apocalypse and the first game that Joel didn't get bitten is a miracle.This game wasn't predictable which is why I'm loving it

@@widewide8587 Good characters can still carry mediocre stories. In retrospect, even TLOU1's story wasn't terribly outside-the-box but it was Joel and Ellie and their dynamic that carried the game.
This is the game I wanted - Old Man Logan II. Instead, we got a forced sequence of exacerbated violence and dramatically forced pain, plus the destruction of the character we like and the addition of a bunch of new pointless and boring ones.
This game was mean spirited for no reason, especially the ending-it felt like the game made tried its hardest to make me hate Ellie, Abby, and especially Joel. I know its an apocalypse world where things are awful and horrible, but we've had enough of those honestly. We literally have nihilism fatigue in the media. I'm definitely not saying this had to be some happy go lucky story, but needless violence and revenge is bad is so overblown.
this is what the last of us 2 should have been about the aftermath of last of us 1, Ellie growing up in the world she didn't get to die for you can still have the plot with Dina and Jesse, Ellie being angry with Joel for not letting her be the cure work it in with a plot of a new threat that isn't based on some dumb ass revenge story scenes like this are beautiful but it can't save this game knowing what happens next
Ok so I’d like to make a statement I refuse the accept the existence of the rest of the game but the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie they are the real game. what happens after they get to Jackson Joel didn’t die Ellie didn’t go on a revenge mission none of that happened just they lived happily ever after
This right here, is the best scene in the game. I think it's the best scene in the game because of the bonding these two are having and it just brings joy to my heart:)
Abby kills Ellie’s friend after all the build up - Jesse Abby killed her father figure - Joel Abby kills a person very close to her - Tommy Ellie loses her fingers and now her worst fear has come true - all alone Dina and her child have vanished or either been killed Ellie spares Abby at the end😐 IGN 10/10 masterpiece Don’t waste your money
This is what I wanted. Joel and Ellie father daughter bond through the apocalypse. Such a wasted opportunity. They show glimpses of Ellie and Joel in flashbacks. Not good enough. That’s why I’m not buying this game.
This really pisses me off because these flashback scenes are amazing but all of this potential is wasted because they prefered to do this shitty revenge story and got rid of joel immediately. The core of the first game was these 2 but we get none of that
Elie and Joel had such a great dynamic, it's baffling that they killed him so early in the game. I'm actually okay with Joel dying in theory, but it should have been like 2/3rds through the way of the game, not the first hour.
@@alissonfranca9162 Kratos, like Joel, still has more that can be done with their story that can effectively earn their deaths and make it meaningful. It has nothing to do with maturity as it does good storytelling.
I can only imagine Ellie and Joel watching Jurassic Park together. I just wish this sequel could be just Ellie learning the truth of what Joel did instead. Play as her and as time skips through we watch her develop learning more about why Joel lied to her. It be a good and better emotional story. Then the crap we had forced down our throats.
I’m still enjoying this game but I agree. This is kinda what I expected immediately to follow as I completed the first game. Overall I think TLOU2 is actually a decent game. It’s very emotional and dramatic (we know why ofc) but as a gamer I find it cathartic to relieve my emotions through these stories, and even though it’s cruel I still get that from it. It’s still beautiful. The set design is still amazing. The dialogue and interaction between Ellie and Dina I think are somewhat interesting so far. Though I can’t say more interesting than Joel and Ellie, they obv take the cake. The actual mechanics and combat are fun and have me saying “holy fucking shit” out loud often. The first game only did that to me a few times, TLOU2 feels a bit more realistically hostile, but still a balanced amount of protection. You don’t feel completely defeated if you die. But as we can see with this drawn out scene here, I feel like they wrapped it up so perfectly and it was perfectly executed from start to finish. Best scene I think I’ve ever experienced, even with movies included in that comparison. This scene genuinely evoked emotions from me. Not just because Joel died, but because Ellie brings so much life to him, and him to her. They make life joyful for each other, they still bicker but it’s totally normal. And the dramatic part, we all know it’s built on lies. That translates to our lives and questions we have about it. Is our happiness built on lies too? Does it matter? Is it / was it worth it? And for me, there’s underlying tones of acceptance in their relationship. She’s a lesbian and it’s not even hardly a topic between them yet their love and bond is so strong and normal and powerful despite him being a liar and her being a lesbian. It provokes a lot of thought for me, which is why I like NaughtyDog games. Brought genuine smiles to my face and a couple genuine tears. I don’t know if I’m really that mad about the way it’s gone down. I didn’t want Joel to die. I really didn’t. I knew it was gonna happen though based on all the content we got since that Fall 2018 date. Idk how to feel yet really. Letting it soak in. I’m about 7-9 hours into the game.
Look this how i would make the story, 5 years after the first game after all this flashbacks Ellie and Joel relationships starts going down and after that a group of Ex Fireflys goes to capture Joel and then Ellie and her friends goes on a whole journey to rescue Joel and in the way she stars to understand why Joel make his decision to save her. Edit: I would not make Joel such a wimp like NaughtyDog did in this game Joel and Tommy would have faced alot of them and they would have to fight very hard to escape but at the end they set up an ambush and they capture both Joel and Tommy and then we play as Ellie doing patrol in Jackson and after days she noticed Joel is not coming back and after that she went to the place Joel and Tommy went they took them to Texas that's right same place Joel lived and then Ellie goes to save Joel and Tommy with her friends Dina and Jesse.
I would like to watch the game movie on the game story plot you described. I’ve read already many comments here and in Internet. Unfortunately directors and creators are obsessed now in the games, in the tv-shoes, in the movies to show people as much blood and violence as they could... Really shit. Instead of showing us the rare good relationship between father and daughters which many of us wanted to really see... We need love. There is already so much pain, why need to produce more?
This should have been the whole game. Character driven. Plenty of moments of relief from the tension. Instead this 30min is probably the highlight of the entire 25 hour game.
Man this feels like The Last of Us deleted scene, The Last of Us part ll is just too trash for this gem.... how the hell does the rest of the story got approved?
Felt like the writers of Part 1 did these scenes, and then said peace and Neil Cuckman with his agenda took over and did the rest... that is why these scenes are great
This made me smile... Loving scene between two people who have suffered a lot already... A shame the whole game is full of nihilism, sadness and darkness.
A perfect sequel would have been Ellie, slightly older with Joel as her official father figure. Them vs the Fireflies who would be out for revenge because of what took place at the hospital... not whatever this was. Naughty Dog really ruined a franchise!
This is the basic substance of the plot that we needed, not some mission to get vengeance only to not fulfill your task, requiring Joel dying in a way an amateur would. Joel and Ellie are so cute together. Their father-daughter dynamic is such a beautiful and powerful thing. I would've preferred TLOU 2 being about Joel and Ellie's internal conflict between each other, and them rebuilding their relationship after she found out about his lie with a spicy sub plot or twenty that advances this main idea obviously. I'm not unreasonable, just as many other TLOU fans are. All we want is a decent game. Is that too much to ask?
I feel like this flashback is the entire point of the despair within The Last of Us Part II. This will make you appreciate and long for the good moments, how in all our anger, there is still good.
Funny how THIS was the best part of the sequel. THIS. A part where we get to enjoy time with Joel and Ellie instead of playing half the game as a broken down Ellie and the other half as unlikable Abby. It's as if this game should have been a game about Joel and Ellie.
ND if your watching, what you just witnessed is why everyone loved the last of us 1. What you did to this game should end your career, and i hope it does "Neil" No wonder 70% of your staff quit, they still wanted to keep a job.
I think Neil wanted to do something unexpected to shock the fans, but it went downhill. Come on dude, this is the first time Neil screwed up and don't forget that he is responsible for The Last of Us and Uncharted 4. It was only a single mistake don't let it bury every great things he did for ND.
@@leocapn1069 In what way? What part did you dislike in Uncharted 4? I would probably rank it as the second best Uncharted Game, second only to Among Thieves.
@Kyel ! I haven't played Uncharted 4 yet so I don't know if I should place it above 2. I really enjoyed Uncharted 2 and it remains one of the greatest games I've ever played and most critics would agree that it's the best Uncharted game ever. I'm looking forward for playing Uncharted 4 though and I hope it's would be an immersive gameplay for me.
When I played this scene I couldn’t help my feelings I was so damn overwhelmed by my feelings, I was so damn happy to have more scenes with Joel and Ellie and I cried the whole damn time playing this, well knowing Joel’s really gone, the whole time I was like, *GIVE ME BACK THE FIRST PART ! LET JUST FORGET ABOUT THIS SEQUEL OKAY?!*
This game could have just been 25 hours of Joel & Ellie talking and hanging out with no fighting gameplay and that would have been better than what we actually got. I love these two so damn much.
This whole scene is heartbreaking. All I wanted was for the second game to be this. And it is... only in flashbacks... I swear if the whole game was like this single flashback it would have been easily been an amazing sequel.

This is the game I wanted - Old Man Logan II. Instead, we got a forced sequence of exacerbated violence and dramatically forced pain, plus the destruction of the character we like and the addition of a bunch of new pointless and boring ones.

Nailed it
This game was mean spirited for no reason, especially the ending-it felt like the game made tried its hardest to make me hate Ellie, Abby, and especially Joel. I know its an apocalypse world where things are awful and horrible, but we've had enough of those honestly. We literally have nihilism fatigue in the media. I'm definitely not saying this had to be some happy go lucky story, but needless violence and revenge is bad is so overblown.
Bilbo Swaggins nihilism fatigue is exactly what I’ve been experimenting for a while and hadn’t come up with a word to express it. Thank you
Not to mention the sex scene
this is what the last of us 2 should have been about
the aftermath of last of us 1, Ellie growing up in the world she didn't get to die for
you can still have the plot with Dina and Jesse, Ellie being angry with Joel for not letting her be the cure
work it in with a plot of a new threat that isn't based on some dumb ass revenge story
scenes like this are beautiful but it can't save this game knowing what happens next
That's waybit hurts so much
@@hugogarcia8620 Hold up...Hugo?

"das a big boy" im in tears, why couldn't ellie just not lose all of her innocence?
David
It's moments like these why I don't want to dislike this game. But after what I've seen... God. No coming back.
Ok so I’d like to make a statement I refuse the accept the existence of the rest of the game but the flashbacks of Joel and Ellie they are the real game. what happens after they get to Jackson Joel didn’t die Ellie didn’t go on a revenge mission none of that happened just they lived happily ever after
Agreed.
Works for me
And Ellie didn't lost two fingers.
That's unrealistic and boring.
Still better than what was presented to us in the game.
Bruh, you don't know how excited I was to see her swim!
Im just gonna pretend this part is the sequel that's all
X2
Actually the only things i would accepted of this sequel are all the flashbacks with Joel and Ellie.
Me too, lets all pretend that the test of the game its just a nighmare
@@smoker5989 same
They should release a ''Part 3'' in a few months where it shows a young Ellie waking up from a nightmare. That's the only way to fix this.
This right here, is the best scene in the game. I think it's the best scene in the game because of the bonding these two are having and it just brings joy to my heart:)
16:28 if only joel had that teleportation skill 3 years later he might have saved himself from a really bad headache
Too soon man
That's too much man!
This comment got me rolling
Abby kills Ellie’s friend after all the build up - Jesse
Abby killed her father figure - Joel
Abby kills a person very close to her - Tommy
Ellie loses her fingers and now her worst fear has come true - all alone
Dina and her child have vanished or either been killed
Ellie spares Abby at the end😐
IGN 10/10 masterpiece
Don’t waste your money
Joel dies?! Wtf?!?! That's really sad!
They think they're clever "revenge doesn't bring anyone back! It just continues the cycle!"
@@gamerkey8278 I wonder what Joel would've done if that was Ellie that died...
Isn't Dina ellie's girlfriend
Clarissa Morgenstern ya but she banged Jesse
If only the game was just all the flashbacks continuing from the first game, then I would've bought it.
Then wouldn’t it not be flash backs and just the game itself
Yeah that's what I meant basically.
Would've been extremely boring.
Wow. This was actually great. Made me all teary eyed. Why couldn't the whole game be like this?
Cause the whole game was pretty good.
@@makimahater911 no it wasn’t
@@maricondones that’s you’re opinion and he has his
I’ve always love Joel and Ellie’s father and Daughter time together
This entire scene just gives Left Behind energy.
This is what I wanted. Joel and Ellie father daughter bond through the apocalypse. Such a wasted opportunity. They show glimpses of Ellie and Joel in flashbacks. Not good enough. That’s why I’m not buying this game.
Not really.
this is so wholesome, i just love their bond so much
It's enough to make a grown man cry...
But not this man.
Get back in there teary
I'm surrounded by cultured men.
" 'King of the Tyrant Lizards'. Dat's a big boi"
Why wasn't this the whole game?
That part made me chuckle irl
I am satisfied. I am okay with just 10 hours of THIS and I would have bought the game.
Would've been boring.
The only good moments of this game is with Joel!
The begining isnt good
@@Idknomore2 but none the less, better than the rest of the story
And the rest of the game.
This really pisses me off because these flashback scenes are amazing but all of this potential is wasted because they prefered to do this shitty revenge story and got rid of joel immediately. The core of the first game was these 2 but we get none of that
It's not a revenge story.
I’m just saying this should have been the game
Not really.
That’s what you wanted
I love how people justify that the story of part 2 is good/essential. Its honestly an insult to part 1 and us fans of it
pogimon master I mean games good at least to me
@@squidairleo3155 good to hear ur enjoying it mate
exactly
@@squidairleo3155 You're high lol
@@squidairleo3155 you smoking some good shit.
Elie and Joel had such a great dynamic, it's baffling that they killed him so early in the game. I'm actually okay with Joel dying in theory, but it should have been like 2/3rds through the way of the game, not the first hour.
The first half would be meaningless filler otherwise.
Imagine if God of War '2' came out and Kratos was killed early on by Magni or Modis son and you spent the entire time as Atreus.
Magni and Modi don't have children. Their father on the other hand...
Honestly I would love that. Y'all are just not ready to be emotionally mature.
@@alissonfranca9162 Kratos, like Joel, still has more that can be done with their story that can effectively earn their deaths and make it meaningful. It has nothing to do with maturity as it does good storytelling.
If it had a good story like this I'd take it.
It just makes me feel so good That Joel could find the daugther he always missed in Ellie...
Incredible sequence of a father and daughter get together!
Just add this to my depression thanks
Existance Untold Just go back to the trash can you came out from.
Existance Untold how?
Existance Untold you don’t know the meaning of simp, do you?
The scene inside the spaceship thing is so sweet 💖
I can only imagine Ellie and Joel watching Jurassic Park together. I just wish this sequel could be just Ellie learning the truth of what Joel did instead. Play as her and as time skips through we watch her develop learning more about why Joel lied to her. It be a good and better emotional story. Then the crap we had forced down our throats.
I’m still enjoying this game but I agree. This is kinda what I expected immediately to follow as I completed the first game. Overall I think TLOU2 is actually a decent game. It’s very emotional and dramatic (we know why ofc) but as a gamer I find it cathartic to relieve my emotions through these stories, and even though it’s cruel I still get that from it. It’s still beautiful. The set design is still amazing. The dialogue and interaction between Ellie and Dina I think are somewhat interesting so far. Though I can’t say more interesting than Joel and Ellie, they obv take the cake. The actual mechanics and combat are fun and have me saying “holy fucking shit” out loud often. The first game only did that to me a few times, TLOU2 feels a bit more realistically hostile, but still a balanced amount of protection. You don’t feel completely defeated if you die. But as we can see with this drawn out scene here, I feel like they wrapped it up so perfectly and it was perfectly executed from start to finish. Best scene I think I’ve ever experienced, even with movies included in that comparison. This scene genuinely evoked emotions from me. Not just because Joel died, but because Ellie brings so much life to him, and him to her. They make life joyful for each other, they still bicker but it’s totally normal. And the dramatic part, we all know it’s built on lies. That translates to our lives and questions we have about it. Is our happiness built on lies too? Does it matter? Is it / was it worth it? And for me, there’s underlying tones of acceptance in their relationship. She’s a lesbian and it’s not even hardly a topic between them yet their love and bond is so strong and normal and powerful despite him being a liar and her being a lesbian. It provokes a lot of thought for me, which is why I like NaughtyDog games. Brought genuine smiles to my face and a couple genuine tears. I don’t know if I’m really that mad about the way it’s gone down. I didn’t want Joel to die. I really didn’t. I knew it was gonna happen though based on all the content we got since that Fall 2018 date. Idk how to feel yet really. Letting it soak in. I’m about 7-9 hours into the game.
It was pretty good.
Look this how i would make the story, 5 years after the first game after all this flashbacks Ellie and Joel relationships starts going down and after that a group of Ex Fireflys goes to capture Joel and then Ellie and her friends goes on a whole journey to rescue Joel and in the way she stars to understand why Joel make his decision to save her.
Edit: I would not make Joel such a wimp like NaughtyDog did in this game Joel and Tommy would have faced alot of them and they would have to fight very hard to escape but at the end they set up an ambush and they capture both Joel and Tommy and then we play as Ellie doing patrol in Jackson and after days she noticed Joel is not coming back and after that she went to the place Joel and Tommy went they took them to Texas that's right same place Joel lived and then Ellie goes to save Joel and Tommy with her friends Dina and Jesse.
Wow funny how one person can come up with a story 100× better then a whole team of writers could.
Boom!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I would like to watch the game movie on the game story plot you described. I’ve read already many comments here and in Internet. Unfortunately directors and creators are obsessed now in the games, in the tv-shoes, in the movies to show people as much blood and violence as they could... Really shit. Instead of showing us the rare good relationship between father and daughters which many of us wanted to really see... We need love. There is already so much pain, why need to produce more?
So crazy I was thinking about how I would have made the story and came up with something similar to your idea 😂
It's heartbreaking to compare Joel's smiling faces here to his face when he had last convo with Ellie.
joel " did I do okay?" holy s. that made me tear. what happe to that shitstorm its like a bad dream. this is what tlou should have been
Not really.
they expressions of joy is so nice to see tho.
Can someone add this to the end of the first game? Thatd be great. I'd rather not have the rest of it.
I hope they would have just add a new dlc featuring this 30 min gameplay. I would like this way more than the "sequel".
The rests pretty good.
This, this right here is why we love The Last Of Us, wonderful scenes between two amazing characters whether it’s good moments or bad
This should have been the whole game. Character driven. Plenty of moments of relief from the tension. Instead this 30min is probably the highlight of the entire 25 hour game.
It's a pretty good game.
...I just realized, Ellie finally learned how to swim. XD
We all knew that was gonna happen in this game
God damn pallets
FrostBite Pokin fuck pallets😭🤦♂️😂😂
Joel and Ellie are so fun interacting together

Ellie: See what happens.
3 years later: Joel fcking get up
Sad thing is it can happen to us all.

@@Cj-iu5px It’s not our stories to tell
Man this feels like The Last of Us deleted scene, The Last of Us part ll is just too trash for this gem.... how the hell does the rest of the story got approved?
Simple, fire everyone who disagrees.
Arno Wisp the developing of TLOU Part 2 is the finest example of corporate delusion
Felt like the writers of Part 1 did these scenes, and then said peace and Neil Cuckman with his agenda took over and did the rest... that is why these scenes are great
Cause it was good.
Cuz this isn’t long after TLOU ending. This scene is too good to be in TLOU2
That flashback is sad knowing what happens to Joel
I saw this on my recommended but I couldn't click it knowing that Joel is dead. I know I am about to cry.
But you did click it eventully
Why couldn’t the whole story be as good as this?!
Cause it was already good.
This made me smile... Loving scene between two people who have suffered a lot already...
A shame the whole game is full of nihilism, sadness and darkness.
And it's pretty good.
A perfect sequel would have been Ellie, slightly older with Joel as her official father figure. Them vs the Fireflies who would be out for revenge because of what took place at the hospital... not whatever this was. Naughty Dog really ruined a franchise!
They really didn't.
Agreed, and the game would be Ellie trying to protect Joel because she doesn’t want to lose the person she loves.
I love how Joel talks about Jurassic park
god damn it this scene makes me so sad over the lost potential of this game.
It wasn't lost.
I bet if they carved this part out and sold it separately, it would outsell TLOU2 in a heartbeat. This is what we wanted, not some dumpster fire.
Sometimes what you want isn't what you should have.
If only we could we could climb its tail, I'd call this game a master piece
You can
They let you climb the whole TRex and jump off it’s head
Its official this game is a masterpiece
@@gernandthegreat8839 lol, you all are joking right?
@@jasonlewis2672 of course
This is the basic substance of the plot that we needed, not some mission to get vengeance only to not fulfill your task, requiring Joel dying in a way an amateur would.
Joel and Ellie are so cute together. Their father-daughter dynamic is such a beautiful and powerful thing. I would've preferred TLOU 2 being about Joel and Ellie's internal conflict between each other, and them rebuilding their relationship after she found out about his lie with a spicy sub plot or twenty that advances this main idea obviously. I'm not unreasonable, just as many other TLOU fans are. All we want is a decent game. Is that too much to ask?
And we got it.
You got exactly that dude, like seriously, everything you mentioned is in this game
I feel like this flashback is the entire point of the despair within The Last of Us Part II. This will make you appreciate and long for the good moments, how in all our anger, there is still good.
"That's a big boy" 😂
Imagine if Abby never existed, if the writing was good and if this was the whole game. Just Joel and Ellie going on Adventures. 10/10 I tell ya
Abby exists, the writtings good and it was the whole game. 7/10 i tell ya.
Funny how THIS was the best part of the sequel. THIS. A part where we get to enjoy time with Joel and Ellie instead of playing half the game as a broken down Ellie and the other half as unlikable Abby. It's as if this game should have been a game about Joel and Ellie.
Not really.
@@makimahater911 yes really
@@kurokame9667 1 year response lol. Not mad it's just funny. Anyway after my zen phase of this game i have to agree.
@@makimahater911 yeah, sorry about that. I only got into this series two weeks ago. I somehow hadn't heard anything about it up until now.
This does put a smile on my face
ND if your watching, what you just witnessed is why everyone loved the last of us 1. What you did to this game should end your career, and i hope it does "Neil" No wonder 70% of your staff quit, they still wanted to keep a job.
1 mistake is ruining an entire franchise
I think Neil wanted to do something unexpected to shock the fans, but it went downhill. Come on dude, this is the first time Neil screwed up and don't forget that he is responsible for The Last of Us and Uncharted 4. It was only a single mistake don't let it bury every great things he did for ND.
Brendan Frost uncharted 4 was bad tho
@@leocapn1069 In what way? What part did you dislike in Uncharted 4? I would probably rank it as the second best Uncharted Game, second only to Among Thieves.
@Kyel ! I haven't played Uncharted 4 yet so I don't know if I should place it above 2. I really enjoyed Uncharted 2 and it remains one of the greatest games I've ever played and most critics would agree that it's the best Uncharted game ever. I'm looking forward for playing Uncharted 4 though and I hope it's would be an immersive gameplay for me.
The way he said close your eyes it will be worth it and looks at her 🥺
I love how Joel references the movie Jurassic even though he doesn't say the name
When I played this scene I couldn’t help my feelings I was so damn overwhelmed by my feelings, I was so damn happy to have more scenes with Joel and Ellie and I cried the whole damn time playing this, well knowing Joel’s really gone, the whole time I was like, *GIVE ME BACK THE FIRST PART ! LET JUST FORGET ABOUT THIS SEQUEL OKAY?!*
Nah.
This game could have just been 25 hours of Joel & Ellie talking and hanging out with no fighting gameplay and that would have been better than what we actually got. I love these two so damn much.
Am I the only one who has a huge crush on Joel?
Nope I do too 😂❤
Too bad he got clapped 😔 RIP
This whole scene is heartbreaking. All I wanted was for the second game to be this. And it is... only in flashbacks... I swear if the whole game was like this single flashback it would have been easily been an amazing sequel.
Which it is.
The last of us universe isn’t always happiness there’s a lot of dark and grey areas.
22:18 Joel was so happy 🥺 you could tell he really enjoyed watching her have fun on her birthday.
Joel will live forever, in his fans hearts 💔
“I do okay?”
😭
I don’t remember the last time we’ve seen Joel smile, this is so pure and wholesome 🥺❤️ best dad ever
Why couldn’t this have been the whole game?
Cause it was already good.
My favorite quote from now on
“Oops”-Joel
Joel the best father ever
Nobody seems to realise that this whole dinosaur sequence is a nod to the birthday card we find on the drawer of Sarah in the begining o tlou 1.
Joel is the dad I wish I had, then I wouldn't have to hear my parents argue every day.
24:07 Joel has an incredible amount of heart 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
this is good, wish all game was this good
Seeing joel laugh already makes me happy yet seeing him die quickly strips those emotions away from me
