Hillcrest is my favorite gameplay sequence in the whole game. The overgrown surburbia and the lore is absolutely fantastic. As you play, you can really feel Ellies rage and obsession starting to build. I love how naughty dog builds the the intensity as you get closer and closer to the car chase scene. Which by the way is probobly my favorite action cut scene of all time. So well done!!
Same but I think the soundtrack that plays through the sequence helps make it extra intense- it builds up and builds up and then boom! It’s called “The WLF” by MacQuayle- definitely give it a listen if you’re looking for some motivation in your ear holes!
@@icatfishedyourdad2767 Oh, for sure! I've listened to the soundtrack a few times and I remember that one. The environment is great but music is what ties in the whole experience.😀
Same here. I often restart the entire area after the truck scene. Music that kicks in gets the adrenaline flowing. Just perfect. Reminds me of Sicario main theme.
Hey little tip for fighting humans :) They follow you by sight and sound. You'd be surprised that even if you shoot and kill one, sprinting away and repositioning will help you greatly. They always go to your last location, one thing I absolute love about the NPCs in this game. You could be a ghost and still go in guns blazing. Hope this helps, thanks for the content gabe!
11:12 Actually, it is. Neil Druckman has stated several times that one of the themes in The Last of Us is nature taking back space and the beauty in that. So, all the destroyed roads and houses ARE supposed to look beautiful
yeah, he said sth like that in earlier videos, too, and it always bugs me xD it's clearly meant to look beautiful, and it _is_. i just absolutely adore the look, it's gorgeous.
So, here's a little bit of trivia: Even before the leaks, Naughty Dog was so worried that people had already guessed that Joel died in this game that they created fake scenes for many of their trailers, to throw people off the scent so to speak. That scene of Ellie landing and someone grabbing her and covering her mouth? In one of the game trailers, they had replaced Jesse... with JOEL.
I don’t know why they bothered tbh- I reckon once most of us who’d played the first game heard they were making a second part, knew that Joel’s past would come back to bite him. I know I did anyway. I originally thought some of Ellie/Joel interaction teasers were clips from the game and he was already dead and she was talking to him as like a guiding, ghostly type mentor in her head while on her road to vengeance. Plus, I was still able to enjoy the “how” and “why”
I love your commentary sm Gabe! you're just so real and authentic with it it's hard to come by these days in streamers and let's players. don't stop being you! also esp love the moments when you thought you were being geeky but it's genuinely cute to see, huge fan of the channel.
Great resolution to twinkle twinkle with those applied chords 😂 Ellie is a music nerd for real studying chromatic progressions during the apocalypse haha
Your take on the vocal performances is what is making this play through so enjoyable, make sure to read the journal in the next episode, 16 year old Ellie has alot on her mind, thanks again for the great content.
also I just want to say, watching your gameplay has helped me with my own playing as well. I used to get so scared of doing anything in this game that i'd just hide all the time but seeing how "reckless" you are and how fast you adapt and actually use the resources you have... it's made me do the same and subsequently made me enjoy playing it more
54:15 I'm obsessed with the chaos of this, but just a tip: you only need to throw one molotov in this type of scenario. If a runner (or sometimes clicker) has to run past the fire from your molotov, they'll just catch fire and die. So if there's a molotov fire in a doorway, they'll all eventually catch fire by walking through it. Just in case you're low on supplies later on!
So the silencer is a plastic bottle, not exactly built for durability. You can see 3 dashes on the UI next to the silencer image. That's how long it lasts. Having a silencer that just lasts would be crazy unbalanced
When you shoot an enemy the reticle will light up white for a hit or red for a kill shot, so you always know if they are dead or not. The X in the middle.
Great episode Gabe! My first playthrough of this part, I remember hardly killing anyone and just sneaking or running past them because I was so stressed about the dogs lol. Just got to the other side or checkpoint and kept moving 😂. It’s actually interesting that you can move through most “levels” without killing anyone.. if you choose to. Less fun to some degree maybe, but a different challenge nonetheless.
I’ve been kind of watching your videos in a backwards manner, starting with TLOU 2 and then watching your TLOU 1 playthrough while i wait for the next video. Something struck me while watching part 11 when Joel found the small grave outside of Jackson. Ellie wanted to discuss recent events, and Joel said “things happen and we move on.” I really like how you compared the game’s structure to Joel’s philosophy, with quick cuts to the next scene because there is not really any time to process his feelings. But now, seeing you play this game in Ellie’s shoes, we see a scene of her grieving Joel and throughout the whole game there are these flashbacks. It’s like the game’s structure shifted to match how she processes her feelings. It’s just really cool.
such a fun episode! thanks! (not a spoiler what i m about to say): in the flashback, right from the the position in which you ended this video - go in the right to see the landscape; a journal entry will appear ONLY if you mark that spot :)
There are two parties to this arguement imagine waiting 8 years for a sequel, no word on where one of the main characters are, only seeing him in the opening announcement in what appears to be a ghost version of him. Finally getting a reveal trailer showing him but when the actual game comes out he's not there he is replaced by jesse " you think i would let you do this on your own" that is exactly what happens in that section. Personally it does not bother me as a fan of p1 because i saw the vision of not wanting to spoil the story and also kinda has meta narrative of the lie ellie has to live with... However, there are people that dispise it to this very day because of that scene...
@r3zuri i dont agree that its false advertising though, its more of a not spoiling the story...movies and games do this all the time. joel is still in the story a huge amount and is key to the actual story. False advertisement to me is something like cyberpunk showing things that didnt even make it into the game until years later or at all or not allowing consumers to make a solid purchase by hiding the ps4 and xbox versions saying they work well when they clearly know they dont...but which one did fans forgive? its something fans will never agree on and that is totally fine because it adds to the debate...
Loving this series. A lil tippy tip: when you pick up notes, always check the back. There are some serious clues and lore drops on the back sometimes. Also, rotate objects. You never know what you’ll see. 👍🏼😉
lmao you’re lucky Gabe. thought there was gonna be no last of us II, 2 days in a row I was going to have to speak to management. I’ll let you off with a warning sir🤫. also brother pls turn the flashlight off when dealing w humans they’ll always notice it😭
Infected can hear u and some can see u too so be cautious. Speaking of seeing when sneaking around don’t 4get to turn of ur light they can reveal ur location to both infected and humans.
3:00 - There are a number of videos online of people using this moment to play real life songs that use the notes on the wheel. 23:57 - Most of the time when it comes to those dogs. I'm afraid it's a case of k¡ll or be k¡lled. (I felt bad about k¡lling the dogs too) 45:49 - ...or you're going to get the bow at 1:04:55. 😉 1:26:02 to 1:32:13 - That music soundtrack! **chef's kiss** 1:34:05 - When they scream like that and were not on fire. It usually means that you're blew one of their limbs off and they're screaming in agony as they die. 1:39:15 - I love this flashback.
Gabe. Just a lil helper. Whenever you find a safe, if you didn’t find the code or having trouble finding it. You can actually still unlock it. Listen carefully, going through the numbers for a bit louder click noise. And that should be the correct number. Do that on each, and you can open it
41:15 they’re like clickers: blind, but very sensitive to sound. You have to always crouch when you’re around them or they’ll notice you. It’s not the mine what alerted them!!
Hope it's not them messing up the pro version of the games but for some reason I've seen more bugs/glitches in your playthrough than in all of my probably 10 playthroughs at this point and it's kinda weird to see (in part 1 as well) because you would expect the games to be very polished by now.. although at least they are pretty minor and some of them being freakin hilarious like that tiptoe Dina one
Bro the guitar playing was on point. You did way more than most LPers on this game lmao. You should also look up vids of people playing entire songs using Ellie, it's pretty crazy.
Lmao @ the title 😂 so ready to continue this journey with you! Do you by any chance take game suggestions? Story driven games are my favorite and there are some amazing ones out there 🥹

no kidding, lol

3 smoke bombs and 3 molotovs Plus a shotgun shell to kill three runners or whatever is WILD lol😂
🤣 I just had to make sure
Please start flipping the notes!!😭😭😭
Jesse will definitely be my favorite in the second season of the TV show
I am VERY excited to see the showrunners adapt the chase sequence in Hillcrest, because this is nail-biting tense in the game.
11:12

Jesse's lean against the wall pose is perfect😂
Its smooooth lol
This episode had Gabe in comedic form! Hahaha! I can vibe with it!
Your take on the vocal performances is what is making this play through so enjoyable, make sure to read the journal in the next episode, 16 year old Ellie has alot on her mind, thanks again for the great content.
yeah let's say what everyone's thinking... your performance of twinkle twinkle little star was the highlight of the video hands down
Right up there with Eralia's Smash mouth performance in the same scene
I've been WAITING on this video. can't believe yt notifs did me dirty by sending it 50mins late. I get so excited every time I see that notification 🔥
50 mins late?!??? Cmon TH-cam!!!!!

Yeah, those shootouts in Hillcrest reminds me why I love this game so much. The gameplay is so good.
This release timing is perfect for EU! Thanks, can't wait for more!

pls tell me he still figures it out before the end of the vid xD
@@jaythegreenling No.
54:24 I’m dying 😂 one Molotov will get em!!
It’s always SUCH a quick flip from “I don’t want to kill the dogs” to “eff them dogs” lol they’re so OP
Can't wait to watch after work!
Been waiting for this like crazy! What an amazing way to end the day. Thanks for this, Gabe.
I screamed at the Title😭
i cant lie your my favourite youtuber now ❤
41:55 Not the bbl close up 😂
Perfect timing! I can watch while I eat and get some laundry done.
Enemy : Found you!
Gabe:*Panic switch weapon left and right*
I LOVE Jesse btw. I can't wait until everyone else is introduced to him on the show
New castle is how I discovered this channel

You didn't seem to realise the infected with the bow was Boris.
He was a clicker killer, now he's a clicker, killer
@@piratetv1 Actually, he was a Stalker
@sodaroni_enthusiast you're right.
“Jesse, are you familiar with Maury?” I CACKLED 😂
such a fun episode! thanks! (not a spoiler what i m about to say): in the flashback, right from the the position in which you ended this video - go in the right to see the landscape; a journal entry will appear ONLY if you mark that spot :)
Nothing screams stealth like shining a flashlight in someone's face, lol
Recently found your channel and I'm absolutely loving this play through ❤
That part w the smoke bombs you’re just supposed to run through homie 😂😂😂 you not supposed to to fight thats why there were so many 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭
🙃🙃
@ I was impressed homie, game been out half a decade I ain’t seen that before 😂
I almost always fight them. On Hard+
Hoo! Boy!
I might be the only one who got the I like my reload reference. I love this play through
You have to get your bow from Boris first...
If you take out the person with a dog, then the dog won't know what to do and you won't have to worry about it.

that drawing of that dude near the beginning, he 100% looks like Newcastle
THANK YOU!
When you check for a new video for the 5th time today and it's finally up!!! 🥹🥹🥹🙏
Loving this series. A lil tippy tip: when you pick up notes, always check the back. There are some serious clues and lore drops on the back sometimes. Also, rotate objects. You never know what you’ll see. 👍🏼😉
I get it now. " best clicker killer in the QZ."
lmao you’re lucky Gabe. thought there was gonna be no last of us II, 2 days in a row I was going to have to speak to management. I’ll let you off with a warning sir🤫. also brother pls turn the flashlight off when dealing w humans they’ll always notice it😭

PAPA ME WANT MORE MOVIE !!!!! 🍿
Infected can hear u and some can see u too so be cautious. Speaking of seeing when sneaking around don’t 4get to turn of ur light they can reveal ur location to both infected and humans.
Best rendition of twinkle twinkle ever. ✌🏽
Just in time, my food is ready!!!
In one of the earlier trailers Joel was supposed to be there instead of Jesse
Yeah. They put Joel there to dispel the leaks about Joel's death. Man, it sucked learning that before the game even came out
Day 2 is my favorite, so intense!
what a title for this episode 😭😂
1:35:28 I didn't know that it's possible to die here 😂
When the game came out, people started a trend of videos of Ellie covering various song on the guitar.. some were actually pretty awesome
1:26:34 I think when I played this part I died so many times I just started sprinting to the next area because I got so frustrated lol
1:29:56 this part too I just kept running
Bruh the death gurgles in this game are some of the most realistic and nauseating I've ever heard
Finally.. 😭✨❤️

The shamblers aren't actually blind, they can spot you. Unlike clickers and bloaters, their eyes aren't covered with the fungus.🍄🟫🍄
@@josefinelagerstrom2643 I’m 100% sure they are blind. They even do the echolacation screaming thing like clickers.

Bro, turn off your flashlight when encountering human enemies. They can see it.
That's a pretty long way to just say Ellie.
Thank you ❤
Charlie don't look
okay my game plan is to: finish work, get home, shower, make some yummy foods, get comfy & enjoy this gameplay 🙏🏼 I CANT WAIT OOOOUUFFF 🙃🙃😝😝
Sounds like the perfect evening! 🤩
When can we look forward to the next reaction episode? Regards

Turn 👏 your 👏 light 👏 off
Yes🎉
Just don´t kill the person with the dog first.
1:31:33 😂
Why on earth are you throwing smoke bombs at infected? lol. And then you waste all your molotovs too on runners?
Boooo!!! 32:16
I love this series but goood u suck at playing. All love tho
