I read your comment in Dunkey's voice and it sounds stupid. Also I read this comment in his voice and I sound stupid. In fact I'm reading it in his voice just as I type this and I feel stupid.
The worst part of this video was running past the rifle ammo without picking it up. I physically recoiled in horror. Dunkey is truly a monster for this.
Going to hell in Doom 2016 was actually something I enjoyed being surprised by. I mean, it is Doom, but so much of the start takes place on an invaded Mars that it’s not immediately obvious! It’s also where you get to hear the legendary testament.
@Maester Gryphon But Dante also goes to purgatory and heaven throughly exploring each place and meeting many famous historical figures that help Dante along his spiritual journey. Dooms story has a lot less tact imo, it's go to hell to kill the big bad and other little bads. Doom has lore and a story but I honestly can't care about it as there's no characters that draw me in. Doom is not a game that prides itself on story but rather gameplay
I feel like everyone missed the point. This wasn't a 20 minute video defending The Last of Us: Part II. That was all just context for its true purpose: a review of Days Gone.
I’ve tossed it around in my mind, and I think this is the very best dunkey video. I don’t think it’s the best video to show someone watching dunkey for the first time, but when you start liking dunkey, I think this video displays his humor and opinions the very best. I keep coming back to it over and over
If they make a third The Last of Us game it should be called The Rest of Us and only feature obscure side characters and the giraffe. Actually, it should just be the giraffe.
I hate the last of us 2. Not because of the story, but because of the fact that we can’t play as a giraffe. Naughty dog should reconsider selling the company to me.
@@JewishFrog he just uses satire to point out how stupid some people can be, and he takes peoples actual criticisms seriously. But if you have a problem with a comedy TH-camr using comedy in his videos, I'll leave you to it
"If I was a sellout, you know what I would do? I would read the room, go 'oh look, everyone hates this game,' and I'd pander to fucking idiots" Dunkey spittin' fiery truth
Actually, Shadow, Rouge, and Eggman are the good guys because Sonic and crew steal Chao from their homes, enslave, beat and torture them, then make them compete in blood sports in Sonic Adventure 1. The story takes its most dramatic twist when Shadow and co. also realize it's more fun to do that than anything else in the game.
there is a point somewhere between casual talking and high-falutin critical analysis and Dunkey plays both sides at the same time, excellently. Telling hard, nuanced truths in the most sincere and authentic way. this video still holds up and is fucking great
Yah when i got to play as the lego joker it really made me sympathize with the so called "villian" and reconsider my motivations as a protagonist. Not like shitty the last of us 2
@@jackal2543 I agree, as a straight white man, I have to say Days Gone is best story & graphics in history of gaming even though I never played it and I'm of puerto rican decent.
@@Resht3 Dunkey having opinions different from the very niche part of "gamers" Some dumbass: "This guy is just looking to be controversial; There is no way he could actually disagree with my opinion."
Watching XQC play this drove me insane. The scene where Joel confesses to Ellie about what he did that day at the hospital and Ellie gets mad his chat just spams stuff like "???????????????" "OKAY DUDE". Like why? How is this confusing or infuriating to you that Ellie is upset about the lies and murder?
@@dragoncrashhero12 So, we have The Last of Us Part II, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Heart 358/2 days all combined in one comment. And here I thought Smash Bros was the greatest crossover ever made
It reminds me of the infamous cringy line from death stranding. Even so I liked both stories of days gone and death stranding. They do have cringy lines
My theory is that people who got spoiled before launch felt the intended hatred towards Abby that Ellie felt, but they couldn't channel those emotions towards actually playing the game like you're supposed to. Instead, they directed their hatred toward the game itself
Good point! I genuinely believe that if the game didn't get spoiled and didn't have all "those" youtubers riding the hate bandwagon doubling down on the amount of hate the game got, it wouldn't have gotten NEARLY as much hate
While I definitely agree with your point-as many people don't handle spoilers well-there is still something to be said about the execution of plot. Dunkey brings up a valid point that it's realistic for Joel to let his guard down after all of these years, and that stupid, insignificant errors are often what bring people down. However, I agree with Luke Stephen's review that the circumstances of Joel's death still have an air of contrivance to them, which doesn't help in selling his death as a good direction to take the story. The story was definitely more focused on Ellie's quest for vengeance clashing against Abby's vengeance needs, and how "eye for an eye leaves the world blind."; how seeking revenge and killing someone in retaliation often doesn't offer the catharsis you hope it will. So, in some ways, Joel went from being an integral character to a plot device, which isn't the best way to sell the narrative to a wide audience who are attached to the character. Joel's presence in Ellie's life and memories is important to her character development in the game, but Joel as a character himself does seem to be sidelined. At the end of the day, I think the story went in the best direction the writers could think of, but I can understand it being unsatisfying beyond unexpected spoilers.
@@spikysmoothness Ellie was known to be a main protagonist since the game was announced. The real backlash didn't happen until Abby got leaked as a second protagonist and Joel's killer, which happened just a few months before launch
Maybe for the initial few who formed their own opinion of it. But then for the highly vocal majority, it's just pure bandwagoning. Most of the people shit talking the game didn't even play the first game to get some sort of emotional attachment on it. And as you can see, with the common opinion now being that liking TLOU2 is more acceptable, you're gonna see more people agree on the point that despising the game and calling it an actually badly designed game before was just silly. Even if they were literally the ones who were spouting that very shit. Don't think too much on it, clearly they don't.
The “Bill was gay” part was really funny, just goes to show that a lot of people couldn’t pick up details that weren’t even that hidden in the first place.
they didn’t read any of the notes just killed everything in their way. these same people are the ones who didn’t read any of the notes in this game and realize everyone is getting tired of the killing.
Despite the fact that gay people are plentiful in society and always have been, it's considered political to add a gay character because of American conservative culture war BS. These are the same morons that hate SJWs and "cancel culture" and fail to see the irony with what they're doing to people that come out and say they like the game.
dunkey replied to that entire side of peoples' argument about the homosexual content in one concise, beautiful fifteen second segment and didn't bother to touch on it again because he's not a piss-baby who shits their diapers the second anything even remotely tagged as 'sjw' enters their domain. swear to god, these commenters who spout that bull will take any excuse to get pissed at something.
I've yet to play through FF7 Remake and I really don't appreciate Dunkey just spoiling a huge plot point so suddenly. Guess he did put in the disclaimer after the fact but jesus rip me for being an hour one viewer..
It's 2022 and I just finished TLOU II. It's a shame, but I put it off for so long cause it was ruined from the beginning by the bandwagon. I hated the story at first, naturally because of what happened with Joel. But after the first few hours, I really started to enjoy it. At first, I hated playing as Abby, this monster, but by the end, I was practically begging Ellie to spare her. I never felt like it was a forced emotional thing, just a slow build-up of connection I wasn't even aware of until I was near the end. I don't think you can get the whole scope, even story-wise, without playing it yourself.
I remember playing through it and thinking her being on the farm with Dina was the end, I was happy with this, it felt like an ending. Then Tommy came back as a symbol of what waited for Ellie if she chose to continue her pursuit for revenge. I saw her leave Dina and the entire time I was just whispering to myself "no no no no" I wanted to scream at Ellie to tell her to turn around to go home that all she was doing was ruining her one chance at a happy life. Then we found Abby literally crucified, and I had to pause the game and take a breath from what I was seeing. A culmination of this warpath brought her to her enemy, defeated, having given up on living, subjected to one of the worst forms of death penalty in human record. And yet it wasn't enough for Ellie, her emotions were so detached and destroyed she was incapable of feeling empathy. I was relieved that Ellie didn't kill Abby, not for the sake of Abby, though that was a secondary thought, but mainly for the hope of redemption for Ellie. If she killed Abby she never would've been able to return to Wyoming, she would've been so thoroughly shucked from her emotions that she would've returned to a solitary life telling herself she could only rely on herself, but she was able to finally let it go and prove she is not controlled by the past. I loved this story. But honestly this is also where I want it to end, I don't think there should be another game to continue Ellie's story, I want another game but from someone else's perspective, maybe the baby that she was helping Dina raise. But I like this being the end of what we see from Ellie.
I just got it on the Black Friday sale and finished earlier this month. I already knew about Joel's death and the ending (vaguely) because of the original leaks and fiasco. I haven't been this engaged with a game since Elden Ring came out. Once I actually experienced the story, I totally understood it and felt it emotionally. Playing this on hard mode was an adrenaline pumping and strategic adventure. The original backlash was what made me come to terms with the right leaning political toxicity in gaming. The story isn't always pleasant and quite depressing, but it isn't SJW garbage.
"The quartering" or something like that made 70 videos about "terrible tlou 2 plot" and didn't even play the game ONCE. That's really the only thing you should know about these hate bandwagons, stay away from them because they are just cash grabs making money on your anger. Anger for a reason they made up on the spot.
Same!! Just finished last week and I can't get the game out of my head! Incredible gameplay, graphics, world building, level design, and characters. By the time I got to Santa Barbara, I was exhausted just like Ellie. The final fight had me wincing, I just wanted them to stop! The game made me feel so many things!
“For the majority of the game I felt myself fading into a comatose state from how fucking boring the story was, but when the straight white protagonist said he loved his wife or whatever I cried and shitted and farted so much, 100/10 masterpiece”
About Joel trusting Abby's gang.... Joel's problem in game one is that he can't let anyone get close to him because of losing Sarah. He's a man trapped in the worst moment of his life, like Sisko at the beginning of DS9. Ellie has *just* gone through a lot of trauma just before she met Joel. At the end of the game, Joel and Ellie think of each other as father and daughter. As Joel lets Ellie in and accepts her as his daughter, his faith in life has been renewed. He sees value in community and human connection. He has a family. His adopted daughter lives nearby. He's no longer estranged from his brother. He's found a community. Friends. He owns a home. He's making art. Whittling. Playing guitar. He participates in patrols, far more community driven than the days of him and Tess smuggling for ration cards. Most importantly, Ellie had just agreed to try and work on getting past his monumental gaslighting levels of global proportions about her immunity. Despite him taking away her agency, lying to her for years about robbing her of a meaningful death. She's willing to work on it. Because she cares about him. Joel trusts Abby because he has grown to care about people. Because he has fundamentally changed due to the events of the first game. It's badic character growth. He no longer sees all other humans from a distance. Character growth, which, unfortunately, is his downfall.
Agreed, and even then he doesn’t say his name to the group very easily. In fact, it’s Tommy blabbering about town and how they’re brothers. Once that’s established, Joel just says his name with a kind of hesitant tone.
The discourse surrounding The Last Of Us 2 is such shit precisely because it's filled with a bunch of people who either A. didn't actually play the game or B. Refused to engage with what the game is actually about. Culminating with bad faith takes regarding its tone, writing, and characters that are essentially "I don't like what you did to my favorite character" rant. Is that valid argument? Sure. But I'd rather people honest that that's the reason rather than make up shit to "get revenge." Because that's all it really was.
you are forgetting the world these people live in, despite being more open and caring Joel still survived 20 years as a survivor, smuggler and former hunter. Its not saving abby that's the issue, in fact, it would make sense for him to save her considering tommy is there and they are right outside jackson. The issue is, when he goes back to abbys base and sees numerous heavily armed strangers with militia badges and decides to leave his weapons and bag on his horse. He has no caution with these strangers, and decides to walk carefree and without any caution into the middle of the room and in front of all these strangers and even tells all these armed strangers with militia badges his name. This is so uncharacteristic from Joel, even from what we see in TLOU2, I'm pretty sure there is a flashback where jesse mentions how Joel gives him a hard time about patrols and about being more careful lmao, and don't even get me started with how cautious this man was in the first game, being able to spot a hunter attack instantly. Plus even if he has become more open and caring, that doesn't mean he would lose his caution and survivor expertise, he even tells ellie in one of the flashbacks that she needs to keep her mask on even though its just the 2 of them in case a stranger sees her, showing how he is still always likes to keep it safe. The decisions joel makes are completely out of line with his cautious nature and they don't make sense for someone who who survived 20 years in the apocalypse.

@@Ligmaballinwithout spoilers, people would have actually used their brains instead of following the Internet mob to hate the game blindly without understanding what the game is trying to make you feel by it’s story. Instead we have retards who have not even played the game and mumbling shit that isn’t true most of the time or irrelevant with the game.
actually dunkey, when Ellie said "just take him" to Abby, she was actually telling her to absolve the debt of pizza, not to let Joel go. truly a poetic moment
You don't understand dunkey, that line from Days Gone was actually hinting at a future installment in the franchise. When she says "you can have this one back, but only if you ride me as much as you ride your bike." She's actually hinting to the fact that she is, in fact, not a human, but a cyborg with the ability to transform into a bike. Now, most people wrongly interpret this as some sort of innuendo, but anyone with a brain who has invested any amount of time into the game can easily see that the devopers spelled it out. You go through the game and think she's dead and then BAM you find out she's alive, but is she? See, you can easily tell that since NERO made the virus and it's suspected it was an attempt to speed up human evolution that they have some sort of interest into advancing humanity. And what do you do if you can't alter humans biologically? You do it artificially. See, Dr. Anderson actually operates a fringe development under the umbrella of NERO that was looking into cybernetics. See the helicopter Sarah was in never went to the safe zone, and actually brought her to a facility where she was turned into a cyborg capable of transforming into an advanced motorcycle. "Why would she have said that line before she was turned into a cyborg" you might ask? And that is because in the original storyline, the writers had initially decided that she would have been a cyborg since birth, but the producers decided to save the introduction of the cyborgs until the second installment of the franchise where the game would then turn into an escort mission where in the end you decide to either destroy cyborgs and freakers, merge the 2 together into a new super species, or control all the cyborgs under your consciousness. This is of course a bold move by the studio as never before has such a revolutionary idea been considered and I for one can't wait to see if they plan on making a 3rd game where you play through the same story from the perspective of Boozer's dog, Jack.
@@NicTheGreek1979 The only content they could have reasonably had at that point would be leaks, and that's even pushing it. And if you judge something by leaks, you're stupid as hell. Also, the early leaks were inaccurate in tons of ways. Also, the game wasn't even fully developed at that point. Development ended sometime around March 2020, I'm pretty sure
@@NicTheGreek1979 "User" means public user review. A teenager would get this. And if this is a person who received their copy early, 6 months early in fact, we can assume this person was handed over a copy for promotional purposes.

You're not the brightest, stop acting like you are.
It's still unbelievable to me that liking this game can trigger so many people, making them go crazy. Like who the hell cares, some people will like the game, some people won't.
It's hard to hate something and have any enjoyment out of it without telling at least someone why. If you are happy about something, you don't actually need any boost.

@@StormierNik he never compared the games, he compared the reaction. the gaming community is full of hotheaded people who react strongly based on impulse and nothing demonstrates that better than the reaction to windwaker. this game with a fantastic artstyle was lampooned by people who had never played it because it dared to look different from other zelda games. people acted like it was an awful game based on superficial elements. the discourse around tlou2 can be more nuanced, there are people with genuine reasons they dont like it and thats fair enough. but you cannot pretend there arent thousands of people who go to any length to shit on this game despite never playing it (or sometimes even the first one) and people whose arguments are "this game is bad because it has lesbians and if there is a lesbian that means the game is sjw pandering because lesbians cannot exist without pandering and pandering = 0/10 game"
The only thing missing would have been to bring up any of the Kingdom Hearts games. Any of these pseudo critics want to look at a REAL shitty game story? Try to analyze Kingdom Hearts with the same scrutiny as TLOU2 and you'd probably wind up in a coma.
To be fair, Cloud is an emotionally constipated nobody who doesn’t even know who he really is. Is one of those scenes that people love to take out of context for comedic effect, just like that Kingdom Hearts where Xion dies and Roxas says “who else will I have ice cream with?”. They don’t know how to process grief so they just say those awkward lines. However even with context I hate Hollywood-esque deaths. That’s why Aerith’s death in the original FFVII was so impactful. There was no dialogue. You just watched helplessly and she dies instantly and silently. You are just left with your shock.
It's pretty 200 IQ of him to take a video game that everyone aggressively simps for, and point out an obviously garbage death scene in it. Then compare it to a video game that everyone inexplicably hates, and point out how well done a death scene in it was. I mean, he's not wrong.
@@monkey_blu I agree it's the same when tidus does his very cringey laugh. The point was to be cringey to a sense where he cheers up Yuna by making her laugh at him then with him. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it a bad? No.

Well, Lincoln Clay survived a headshot but it didn’t touch anything important Hell, there’s people who has bullets inside their brains, I think one was a nazi or something like that
I know this is a joke, but for the people who want the actual reason he survived the headshot, it's because Abby missed. The bullet grazed the side of his face and took out his eye but that's about it. The reason he has a limp in his leg isn't because of the gunshot either, it's because of Lev shot an arrow into it.
@@kalemuncher9425 I knew the bullet grazing part but I missed the Tommy limping because of Lev's arrow(I thought that could be healed fully). I thought the bullet sorta paralyzed one side of his lower body. Thank you for pointing out this info man!
You know, gamers are actually really good critics. If you find a game that has a low user score but a high critic score, you can be sure that it will be a deep, and meaningful narrative. This is because most gamers have the emotional maturity and critical thinking level of a 5th grader. So the user score is really just, would a 5th grader think the story is good? If they do, it probably sucks ass.

Thank you Donsley but I really couldn’t be immersed into the Last of Us 2 when Joel turned towards the camera and said “Gabbaghoul” in the first fifteen minutes
The fact that people are still arguing in the comments over the story shows how much of a masterpiece it is. Reminds me a lot of the dialogue that happened at the end of part 1 with everyone discussing or complaining what Joel did. Nobody else is talking about 99% of other video game stories like they do for The Last of Us.
Generally most gamers can agree whether a game was good or bad, but TLOU2 will give you a lot of mixed answers and I love that about it. Dialogue and discussion is what makes a story really stand out from the rest.
"The Joel we see in Last of Us 2 no longer is at his gut reaction to run everybody over in a truck because he traded his truck for a horse." Man, that line made me laugh so hard.
Yeah but Joel didn't do those things because he was mean, he did it because he needed to survive. So no, he wouldn't have magically forgot his survival instincts because he's "nice now".
@@zionfreedom9149 Spending a lot of time away from danger can breed complacency. I don’t think Joel making a slip up like that is completely unrealistic

@@ullysn3039 Days Gone was better than most reviews and dunkey give it credit for. Everybody I know who played the game really loved it and as a new IP it amassed quite the fanbase (and sold better than most PS exclusives) but yeah it is nowhere near TLOU Part II.
But Part 2 is zombie Sonic Adventure 2 -You switch to playing as the bad guys halfway through (Dunkey thought TLOU2 invented this idea) -The villain does some crazy evil thing that becomes a big meme: Eggman pissed on the moon, Abby scored a Joel in one. -The hero has a bland, annoying gay sidekick (Dina got nothing on Riley from Left Behind, THATS how you do a gay zombie love story. And yes Tails is gay, those girls he dated in the comics were just him trying to repress his true identity) -The villain is revealed to have a tragic backstory that makes you empathize with them (Shadow's friend Maria was killed by G.U.N., Abby's dad was killed by Joel) -The story is heavily flawed and divisive, and the gameplay while good, is just a slightly improved version of the previous game. Therefore people like to tear eachother's throats out over opinions on both games.

For those who are wondering how Tommy didn’t die getting shot in the head is because Joel ran him over with a truck and his head got used to it.

Actually, you start playing as the villain part way through the masterpiece of storytelling, Sonic Adventure 2. Checkmate, Dunktheists.

Also let's not forget about Hotline Miami 1+2.
Actually, Shadow, Rouge, and Eggman are the good guys because Sonic and crew steal Chao from their homes, enslave, beat and torture them, then make them compete in blood sports in Sonic Adventure 1. The story takes its most dramatic twist when Shadow and co. also realize it's more fun to do that than anything else in the game.
Actually, you play as the villian in every videogame because every hero is the villian from the villian’s perspective

My theory is that people who got spoiled before launch felt the intended hatred towards Abby that Ellie felt, but they couldn't channel those emotions towards actually playing the game like you're supposed to. Instead, they directed their hatred toward the game itself
Good point! I genuinely believe that if the game didn't get spoiled and didn't have all "those" youtubers riding the hate bandwagon doubling down on the amount of hate the game got, it wouldn't have gotten NEARLY as much hate
While I definitely agree with your point-as many people don't handle spoilers well-there is still something to be said about the execution of plot. Dunkey brings up a valid point that it's realistic for Joel to let his guard down after all of these years, and that stupid, insignificant errors are often what bring people down. However, I agree with Luke Stephen's review that the circumstances of Joel's death still have an air of contrivance to them, which doesn't help in selling his death as a good direction to take the story. The story was definitely more focused on Ellie's quest for vengeance clashing against Abby's vengeance needs, and how "eye for an eye leaves the world blind."; how seeking revenge and killing someone in retaliation often doesn't offer the catharsis you hope it will. So, in some ways, Joel went from being an integral character to a plot device, which isn't the best way to sell the narrative to a wide audience who are attached to the character. Joel's presence in Ellie's life and memories is important to her character development in the game, but Joel as a character himself does seem to be sidelined.
At the end of the day, I think the story went in the best direction the writers could think of, but I can understand it being unsatisfying beyond unexpected spoilers.
You can just say they're angry that the actual protagonist is a woman and take the pretentious mask off that makes you reach for excuses.
@@spikysmoothness Ellie was known to be a main protagonist since the game was announced. The real backlash didn't happen until Abby got leaked as a second protagonist and Joel's killer, which happened just a few months before launch
Maybe for the initial few who formed their own opinion of it. But then for the highly vocal majority, it's just pure bandwagoning. Most of the people shit talking the game didn't even play the first game to get some sort of emotional attachment on it. And as you can see, with the common opinion now being that liking TLOU2 is more acceptable, you're gonna see more people agree on the point that despising the game and calling it an actually badly designed game before was just silly. Even if they were literally the ones who were spouting that very shit.
Don't think too much on it, clearly they don't.

Yeah he mention red dead 2 but not ff7 but I mean, she does die in the orginal...20+ years ago.
It's 2022 and I just finished TLOU II. It's a shame, but I put it off for so long cause it was ruined from the beginning by the bandwagon. I hated the story at first, naturally because of what happened with Joel. But after the first few hours, I really started to enjoy it.
At first, I hated playing as Abby, this monster, but by the end, I was practically begging Ellie to spare her. I never felt like it was a forced emotional thing, just a slow build-up of connection I wasn't even aware of until I was near the end. I don't think you can get the whole scope, even story-wise, without playing it yourself.
I remember playing through it and thinking her being on the farm with Dina was the end, I was happy with this, it felt like an ending. Then Tommy came back as a symbol of what waited for Ellie if she chose to continue her pursuit for revenge. I saw her leave Dina and the entire time I was just whispering to myself "no no no no" I wanted to scream at Ellie to tell her to turn around to go home that all she was doing was ruining her one chance at a happy life. Then we found Abby literally crucified, and I had to pause the game and take a breath from what I was seeing. A culmination of this warpath brought her to her enemy, defeated, having given up on living, subjected to one of the worst forms of death penalty in human record. And yet it wasn't enough for Ellie, her emotions were so detached and destroyed she was incapable of feeling empathy. I was relieved that Ellie didn't kill Abby, not for the sake of Abby, though that was a secondary thought, but mainly for the hope of redemption for Ellie. If she killed Abby she never would've been able to return to Wyoming, she would've been so thoroughly shucked from her emotions that she would've returned to a solitary life telling herself she could only rely on herself, but she was able to finally let it go and prove she is not controlled by the past. I loved this story. But honestly this is also where I want it to end, I don't think there should be another game to continue Ellie's story, I want another game but from someone else's perspective, maybe the baby that she was helping Dina raise. But I like this being the end of what we see from Ellie.
I just got it on the Black Friday sale and finished earlier this month. I already knew about Joel's death and the ending (vaguely) because of the original leaks and fiasco. I haven't been this engaged with a game since Elden Ring came out. Once I actually experienced the story, I totally understood it and felt it emotionally. Playing this on hard mode was an adrenaline pumping and strategic adventure. The original backlash was what made me come to terms with the right leaning political toxicity in gaming. The story isn't always pleasant and quite depressing, but it isn't SJW garbage.
"The quartering" or something like that made 70 videos about "terrible tlou 2 plot" and didn't even play the game ONCE.
That's really the only thing you should know about these hate bandwagons, stay away from them because they are just cash grabs making money on your anger. Anger for a reason they made up on the spot.

About Joel trusting Abby's gang.... Joel's problem in game one is that he can't let anyone get close to him because of losing Sarah. He's a man trapped in the worst moment of his life, like Sisko at the beginning of DS9. Ellie has *just* gone through a lot of trauma just before she met Joel. At the end of the game, Joel and Ellie think of each other as father and daughter. As Joel lets Ellie in and accepts her as his daughter, his faith in life has been renewed. He sees value in community and human connection. He has a family. His adopted daughter lives nearby. He's no longer estranged from his brother. He's found a community. Friends. He owns a home. He's making art. Whittling. Playing guitar. He participates in patrols, far more community driven than the days of him and Tess smuggling for ration cards.
Most importantly, Ellie had just agreed to try and work on getting past his monumental gaslighting levels of global proportions about her immunity. Despite him taking away her agency, lying to her for years about robbing her of a meaningful death. She's willing to work on it. Because she cares about him.
Joel trusts Abby because he has grown to care about people. Because he has fundamentally changed due to the events of the first game. It's badic character growth. He no longer sees all other humans from a distance. Character growth, which, unfortunately, is his downfall.
You can explain it to them, but you can't understand it for them.
@@dontsubcribedontlike673 it’s not even hard looool they’re being chased by infected why wouldn’t you trust some girl who you just saved 😂😂😂
Agreed, and even then he doesn’t say his name to the group very easily. In fact, it’s Tommy blabbering about town and how they’re brothers. Once that’s established, Joel just says his name with a kind of hesitant tone.
The discourse surrounding The Last Of Us 2 is such shit precisely because it's filled with a bunch of people who either A. didn't actually play the game or B. Refused to engage with what the game is actually about. Culminating with bad faith takes regarding its tone, writing, and characters that are essentially "I don't like what you did to my favorite character" rant. Is that valid argument? Sure. But I'd rather people honest that that's the reason rather than make up shit to "get revenge." Because that's all it really was.
you are forgetting the world these people live in, despite being more open and caring Joel still survived 20 years as a survivor, smuggler and former hunter. Its not saving abby that's the issue, in fact, it would make sense for him to save her considering tommy is there and they are right outside jackson. The issue is, when he goes back to abbys base and sees numerous heavily armed strangers with militia badges and decides to leave his weapons and bag on his horse. He has no caution with these strangers, and decides to walk carefree and without any caution into the middle of the room and in front of all these strangers and even tells all these armed strangers with militia badges his name. This is so uncharacteristic from Joel, even from what we see in TLOU2, I'm pretty sure there is a flashback where jesse mentions how Joel gives him a hard time about patrols and about being more careful lmao, and don't even get me started with how cautious this man was in the first game, being able to spot a hunter attack instantly. Plus even if he has become more open and caring, that doesn't mean he would lose his caution and survivor expertise, he even tells ellie in one of the flashbacks that she needs to keep her mask on even though its just the 2 of them in case a stranger sees her, showing how he is still always likes to keep it safe. The decisions joel makes are completely out of line with his cautious nature and they don't make sense for someone who who survived 20 years in the apocalypse.

You don't understand dunkey, that line from Days Gone was actually hinting at a future installment in the franchise. When she says "you can have this one back, but only if you ride me as much as you ride your bike." She's actually hinting to the fact that she is, in fact, not a human, but a cyborg with the ability to transform into a bike. Now, most people wrongly interpret this as some sort of innuendo, but anyone with a brain who has invested any amount of time into the game can easily see that the devopers spelled it out. You go through the game and think she's dead and then BAM you find out she's alive, but is she?
See, you can easily tell that since NERO made the virus and it's suspected it was an attempt to speed up human evolution that they have some sort of interest into advancing humanity. And what do you do if you can't alter humans biologically? You do it artificially. See, Dr. Anderson actually operates a fringe development under the umbrella of NERO that was looking into cybernetics. See the helicopter Sarah was in never went to the safe zone, and actually brought her to a facility where she was turned into a cyborg capable of transforming into an advanced motorcycle.
"Why would she have said that line before she was turned into a cyborg" you might ask?
And that is because in the original storyline, the writers had initially decided that she would have been a cyborg since birth, but the producers decided to save the introduction of the cyborgs until the second installment of the franchise where the game would then turn into an escort mission where in the end you decide to either destroy cyborgs and freakers, merge the 2 together into a new super species, or control all the cyborgs under your consciousness.
This is of course a bold move by the studio as never before has such a revolutionary idea been considered and I for one can't wait to see if they plan on making a 3rd game where you play through the same story from the perspective of Boozer's dog, Jack.
Well done

What the fuck
@@NicTheGreek1979 6 months early? Really? And it's a "User", not a verified critic.
Just think for a few minutes, maybe?
@@NicTheGreek1979 The only content they could have reasonably had at that point would be leaks, and that's even pushing it. And if you judge something by leaks, you're stupid as hell. Also, the early leaks were inaccurate in tons of ways.
Also, the game wasn't even fully developed at that point. Development ended sometime around March 2020, I'm pretty sure
@@NicTheGreek1979 sure
@@NicTheGreek1979 "User" means public user review. A teenager would get this. And if this is a person who received their copy early, 6 months early in fact, we can assume this person was handed over a copy for promotional purposes. If that is the case, shouldn't they make a bigger review, compared to just a user comment review? Like a whole blog post or a video? I've been seeing you on various comment threads, my guy.

It's still unbelievable to me that liking this game can trigger so many people, making them go crazy. Like who the hell cares, some people will like the game, some people won't.
It's hard to hate something and have any enjoyment out of it without telling at least someone why. If you are happy about something, you don't actually need any boost.

This is what I love about SIG, even though the video does not have Dixie Kong he still gave it a 4/5. Truly an unbiased youtube commenter.

I love how dunkey starts with this video with wind waker. Honestly, that alone just puts everything in perspective.
Imagine comparing TLOU2 to Wind Waker.
@@StormierNik he never compared the games, he compared the reaction. the gaming community is full of hotheaded people who react strongly based on impulse and nothing demonstrates that better than the reaction to windwaker. this game with a fantastic artstyle was lampooned by people who had never played it because it dared to look different from other zelda games. people acted like it was an awful game based on superficial elements. the discourse around tlou2 can be more nuanced, there are people with genuine reasons they dont like it and thats fair enough. but you cannot pretend there arent thousands of people who go to any length to shit on this game despite never playing it (or sometimes even the first one) and people whose arguments are "this game is bad because it has lesbians and if there is a lesbian that means the game is sjw pandering because lesbians cannot exist without pandering and pandering = 0/10 game"
@@cheekybananaboy3361 well said
@@StormierNik it seems you completely missed the point of dunkey including the wind waked segment.
The only thing missing would have been to bring up any of the Kingdom Hearts games. Any of these pseudo critics want to look at a REAL shitty game story? Try to analyze Kingdom Hearts with the same scrutiny as TLOU2 and you'd probably wind up in a coma.
This story is really a natural progression from part 1. Parents die. Parents die and we have to go on. How we go on depends on what they've taught us.
This actually hurts to think about
I mean the whole title of the series suggests a story thats going to be about loss
Fuck you hit the nail on the head that i never even knew existed, thats exactly it right there, im gonna use this argument from now on

I thought you edited in “You owe me a pizza” Jesus Christ
When the original final fantasy 7 came out, pizza was really popular. It was...on the rise.
@@ZechsMerquise73 wtf
To be fair, Cloud is an emotionally constipated nobody who doesn’t even know who he really is. Is one of those scenes that people love to take out of context for comedic effect, just like that Kingdom Hearts where Xion dies and Roxas says “who else will I have ice cream with?”. They don’t know how to process grief so they just say those awkward lines.
However even with context I hate Hollywood-esque deaths. That’s why Aerith’s death in the original FFVII was so impactful. There was no dialogue. You just watched helplessly and she dies instantly and silently. You are just left with your shock.
It's pretty 200 IQ of him to take a video game that everyone aggressively simps for, and point out an obviously garbage death scene in it. Then compare it to a video game that everyone inexplicably hates, and point out how well done a death scene in it was. I mean, he's not wrong.
@@monkey_blu I agree it's the same when tidus does his very cringey laugh.
The point was to be cringey to a sense where he cheers up Yuna by making her laugh at him then with him.
Is it stupid? Yes.
Is it a bad? No.
Tommy survived the shot to the head because if you pay attention during the museum scene Joel says tommy has a “thick skull” comparing him to one of the dinosaurs
Well, Lincoln Clay survived a headshot but it didn’t touch anything important
Hell, there’s people who has bullets inside their brains, I think one was a nazi or something like that
I know this is a joke, but for the people who want the actual reason he survived the headshot, it's because Abby missed.
The bullet grazed the side of his face and took out his eye but that's about it. The reason he has a limp in his leg isn't because of the gunshot either, it's because of Lev shot an arrow into it.
@@kalemuncher9425 I knew the bullet grazing part but I missed the Tommy limping because of Lev's arrow(I thought that could be healed fully). I thought the bullet sorta paralyzed one side of his lower body. Thank you for pointing out this info man!

You know, gamers are actually really good critics. If you find a game that has a low user score but a high critic score, you can be sure that it will be a deep, and meaningful narrative. This is because most gamers have the emotional maturity and critical thinking level of a 5th grader. So the user score is really just, would a 5th grader think the story is good? If they do, it probably sucks ass.
i like this comment you're right
Regardless of what you think about the last of us 2, you know this is true. Gamers most of the time aren’t open to serious social and moral commentary in video games, they either want their characters to be lovable or for it to be filled with action

@@quinnpuffer7901 redemption arc
The fact that people are still arguing in the comments over the story shows how much of a masterpiece it is. Reminds me a lot of the dialogue that happened at the end of part 1 with everyone discussing or complaining what Joel did. Nobody else is talking about 99% of other video game stories like they do for The Last of Us.
Generally most gamers can agree whether a game was good or bad, but TLOU2 will give you a lot of mixed answers and I love that about it. Dialogue and discussion is what makes a story really stand out from the rest.
"The Joel we see in Last of Us 2 no longer is at his gut reaction to run everybody over in a truck because he traded his truck for a horse." Man, that line made me laugh so hard.
Yeah but Joel didn't do those things because he was mean, he did it because he needed to survive. So no, he wouldn't have magically forgot his survival instincts because he's "nice now".

-You switch to playing as the bad guys halfway through (Dunkey thought TLOU2 invented this idea)
-The villain does some crazy evil thing that becomes a big meme: Eggman pissed on the moon, Abby scored a Joel in one.
-The hero has a bland, annoying gay sidekick (Dina got nothing on Riley from Left Behind, THATS how you do a gay zombie love story. And yes Tails is gay, those girls he dated in the comics were just him trying to repress his true identity)
-The villain is revealed to have a tragic backstory that makes you empathize with them (Shadow's friend Maria was killed by G.U.N., Abby's dad was killed by Joel)
-The story is heavily flawed and divisive, and the gameplay while good, is just a slightly improved version of the previous game. Therefore people like to tear eachother's throats out over opinions on both games.
