I would like to thank everyone for coming in and watched the let's play. I was so worried to start this game by the thought of being spoiled, but I did not realize that I have the most mature and understanding community out there and the best moderator for reacting so fast to the spoiler comments that could've slipped through. Thanks again for helping me doing something I really enjoy here on TH-cam and for over 11k subscribers on this channel and soon more to come. I never really imagined that even 10 people or more would've enjoy to watch my videos so I am so grateful for all of this. I wish you all well and hope to se you in the next! 💕🐇
Wonderful playthrough Jackie! Just a few fun/funny comments after seeing dozens of these. 1) the PUNCH HIM had me laughing in the flashback, and 2) the ending Rattler camp can feel the wrath of those (5) unchained infected... if you free them Did you check out the cool NG+ options and character skins?
Yeah, a huge shoutout to @_axis_ for shutting down those children who tried to spoil the entire game. ✌️😎 Jackie! You are one of the first LetsPlay TH-camrs I ever watched, I found you looking for Elden Ring stuff. You had an instant sub from me cuz I loved your quirky fun personality! You're tha best Jackie! BunSquad 4 Life! 🫶😁 I recently played a game called Road 96. It's based on stories from Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers. It's a fun lil Indy game. Not sure if the community would wanna see a playthrough, but you might like it in your personal time 🙂 And I've seen a lot of streamers and TH-camrs playing Fears To Fathom. Those are really great indy horror games.
Thank you so much for this, Jackie. This community is truly very special, and as a mod I couldn't be more grateful to be a part of it. Each one of you gives color to this channel (yes, you reading this) and makes this a very unique and amazing place. 11k is just the beginning. Here's to more! 🔥🐰
What drives Ellie is more guilt. She blames herself for not forgiving Joel sooner. Since she found out the truth at the hospital, she cuts off all relations with Joel and at the dance is the first time she interacts with Joel in years. She pushes him away, but instantly regrets it so she goes to see him later. On the porch, in their last conversation, Ellie understands that she’s everything to him and she can't hate him, so she takes the first step towards forgiveness and acceptance, but the next day that happens. Abby ruins that chance to forgive Joel, so killing Abby is like a kind of penance to get rid of the guilt. At the end, when she's about to kill Abby, she sees him, she sees Joel. During the whole game she hasn't been able to see an image of Joel other than him dead, she's not able to draw his gaze in the diary, but at that moment she sees him, so she stops. In fact, this same thing happens to Abby, she keeps having nightmares about her dead father and it's not until she meets Yara and Lev that she finally gets to see her father. By sparing Abby, Ellie is forgiving herself and Joel, it allows her to restore that bit of humanity left in Ellie, it gives a chance to save that Ellie we met in TLOU1. It's a shame that some people don't understand the ending and limit it to “revenge is bad”. It's much more than that. It's about love and forgiveness. Such a masterpiece.
This game's ending is so perfect, one of the best, if not the best. Ever since TLOU1 I wondered if she forgave him, and I had to wait until the perfectly placed cutscene of their last moment together to get an answer to that, I loved that.
Some people dislike how this story is structured but I think it's great. I especially appreciate how Ellie recalls the porch scene during the fight, and that presumably is what sparks her to let Abby go. I like to think that she remembers what she told Joel. I also like how the player's understanding of Ellie's relationship to Joel, i.e. what's emotionally driving her revenge, shifts multiple times through the story. I think that's very nice writing. Without going into any detail, I worry that the TV show may abandon this structure based on what is suggested by the trailers, although that could easily be subterfuge (as this game is infamous for doing).
An interesting thing to think about is the fact that Ellie still doesn't know Joel killed Abby's dad. She still thinks Abby killed Joel because he prevented the vaccine from being developed.. Also, up until the theater confrontation, Abby didn't realize that Ellie was the same girl from St. Mary's hospital who was immune, just like Nora didn't realize it until she saw Ellie breathing spores. None of them realized who she was in Jackson.
I've watched the whole gameplay since the 1st game, and this one too. I liked it a lot, gameplay and reaction. This game is something else, to me it is way above every other game I've seen, and I'm glad you decided to play it and didn't regret it afterwards, what's more, loved it. It's so emotional and it's rooted deep in human values that we all share: THAT IS BRILLIANT. I liked the end part the most, ugly crying included, and your shout-out to the creators. If there's a part 3, someday (please, please, please naughty dog), I'd watch your gameplay first, just get to it right away when it comes. LOL Hope you have a good day and best wishes.
Ellie lets Abby go, forgives Joel, forgives herself. It's not just a simple story of revenge, it's also a story of empathy and forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness
I played this game during a time of grief for my wife's death. I paralleled myself with Ellie. Brain cancer tortured and killed my wife, similar to what Abby did to Joel. This wasn't just a game for me, it was a kind of healing tool in forgiving myself for not "doing more" to save my wife, and letting go of a lot of hatred in my heart...
@Kha0tic I am so sorry about your wife. I cannot even fathom what you went through while that was happening. Just reading your comment has me choked up bc I cant imagine going through that with my husband. I hope you've healed random stranger, and even though I dint know you I'm sending you the best vibes thru the internet ❤
I don't have much more to say that hasn't already been said. You summed it all up perfectly in the end, Jackie. I think I said all this in Part 1 but I've played these games many times and watched more than a few let's plays and yours really has been the best for me. Your honest emotional reactions really resonated with me and mirrored my own during my playthroughs. I said this before too but it bears repeating, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing you experiences and thoughts with us. I know it's not easy and it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like this. I hope you know how much we all appreciate it. This has been a true treat. Two things i'll add just to cap it off in case you missed them: -If you remember from Part 1, Ellie tells Sam her greatest fear is ending up alone. This makes the ending of part 2 even more tragic, because as far as we know at this point, alone is exactly where her relentless pursuit of revenge has left her. Hopefully there will be someone or something good in her future when we eventually get Part 3. -After the credits roll and you return to the main menu you may have noticed the background has changed from the darker more ominous image off the boat floating in the water to a boat on the shore of a bright sandy beach with a large building on the cliff side. The new background is actually Catalina Island and the implication of course is that Abby and Lev actually made it to the Fireflies. So at least theres a sort of subtle happy "ending" for some of our characters. Thanks so much again, Jackie. See you in the next one 🙏
"If I were to lose you, I would surely lose myself." And then Ellie tried to play this song, and couldn't, because her quest for revenge has left her maimed. She has lost herself. It's such a dark and bleak ending. I mean, RDR2 had a lot of sadness, but the overall message made me feel hopeful. "Vengeance is a fool's game", as someone we all know once said. I really enjoyed your play, thanks Jackie.
Your play-through is the closest I have gotten to re-experiencing this amazing game for the first time. Thank you for that. This game is the definition of a roller coaster of emotions. I am very glad you liked the game. 🙂
Also, I recommend the game Detroit Become Human, if you haven't already played that one. It is a decision-based narrative-driven game, similar to the likes of Until Dawn. The story is very good in my opinion, and I think you might like it.
I would really recommend to you to watch the making of about the Part II... Neil Druckmann says that, maybe, there is an idea, a last part to be told... We can't wait! Amazing playthrough.
14:45 Despite everything, I somehow missed that she was dealing with PTSD throughout the story and it finally hit me here 2:11:16 This part always makes me so emotional 2:16:13 This was the scene that I needed 2:24:02 I agree and I would have done the same thing - albeit, I probably would not have gotten past the first Firefly... 2:27:11 Yeah, I agree 100% 2:28:59 I loved it 💕 this was a beautiful playthrough
everyone’s opinion about this game is valid but i think those people that said this game sucks its because they’re close minded or only just a fan of a character not looking the others side. i really like this game a lot and have always a special place in my heart. i kinda tear up too when i saw you especially at the last conversation of Joel and Ellie. that was also me when i played this for the first time. 😊
It’s a really heavy game. I always enjoyed playing it, but could only do so for short bursts so I could reflect on what was happening. Really happy you stuck through with the game until the end and really happy you liked it. It’s been a really wonderful playthrough. Can’t wait to see what your next game will be. Thanks for all the great times on the channel so far! 💜
Thanks for taking your time to play! I wish they let ellie keep all her fingers to play the guitar perfectly. Your not alone for shedding tears, cyberpunk and red dead 2 made me feel the same way. Looking forward to the next games!
Great Let's Play, raw/genuine emotions (we've all been there, RDR 2 really comes kinda close) and I love your commentary, really felt/suffered with you. Keep it up! :) Definitely one of my most favourite games, the only one I ever felt like and actually did play more than once. And yeah, really bold choices regarding the story choices, but it paid off!
Next Uncharted series perhaps. 1-3 (one disk) remastered and 4-5 (one disk) remastered. More funnier, but NaughtyDog message with its good story is there.
Hello... You just gained a follower... Loved your reaction to the end of this "game". I like to call this an "experience". Will watch your playthroughs Cheers
Thanks for yourself through this. God this game is so beautiful but so emotionally taxing that I only played it through once back when it released. I didn't have it in me to do a "clean-up" run like I normally would do in other games. It's been an experience revisiting these emotions watching you play. We start off hating Abby but then growing to understand her. But then we start to hate seeing the person that Ellie is becoming. You summed it up perfectly at the end. I'd like to see you play Lies Of P coz I'm just desperate for more LOP content from anywhere😅. I thought it was so cool. Or Control. Control's cool if you like sci-fi. No matter what you play though we're all here for it.
I think Tommy can't let it go bc he was a valuable member of the community and now with one eye and a limp, he's not the sniper he was and not as useful, so he has so much rage and hatred towards Abby and wants revenge but can't get it himself so he expects ellie to feel the same and when she doesn't, he loses it.
1:35:15 Jackie! 😂 I was yelling at you "NO WAIT FREE THE ZAMBIE" 🤣 there’s a prompt to take out the pin on the chain here. Its fun letting zAmbie Anthony here get his revenge on those jackasses! 😂
Tommy lost a leg and an eye, his brother and his marriage is over, also an heavy injury in the head can change radically someone. making them easily more angry.
It's what makes this game so awesome. It doesn't end with Ellie having to battle some obscure hoard of clickers and their like; it's a real story. Not your typical zombie monster game. That's exactly why I graduated towards it; and I find most zombie games boring and repetitive.
I would love to see you play black myth wukong and It's just a suggestion it's totally up to you. I would still watch the videos of any game you decide to play!
Great Playthrough dear Jackie. There are some pretty messed up things in my life right now, but.your Videos are like a little Safe Place for me. So, thank you for that.👍♥️
I read this comment earlier today while moderating, and I've been thinking about it ever since. Honestly, I was always happy to see your enthusiasm for this series in the comments section, and while I'm not Jackie, I think she'll agree when I say that you'll always have a safe place on this channel. I hope everything gets better for you soon, Tobi. Peace.
@@_axis_ Thanks for your Kind Words.♥️ But Dont worry about me. I am fine. I will Always Be fine. Life is Not dragging me down.💪 Much Love to you As Well.🥰
That look of self disappointment that Ellie gives after glancing towards the baby gets me every time (15:50) Also, people usually don't point it out, but Tommy clearly suffered some brain damage that caused a behavior shift, and is likely part of the cause of his marriage falling apart.
I don’t think it’s brain damage necessarily. Abby killed his older brother who he looked up to, left him blind in one eye, and crippled and handicapped him to point which doesn’t allow him to help or contribute around Jackson. Tommy’s anger and shift is expected and honestly understandable which probably affected his marriage with Maria
About other possible games, the choice is yours. I could suggest: Days Gone : another Zambie game but with bikers, Dark Souls 3, Lies Of P : a lot of people love Lies of P, but it's average to me Dead Space : terrifying game to me, try it if you want to be afraid, not sure it would be a great game for videos though. But if you want sweaty hands, this is the game. Until Dawn : I haven't played it, so I won't watch it Journey : very short and perfect to relax Shadow of the Colossus : very special game but very unique, again not sure it would make great videos The evil within 1 and 2 All the other games people suggest.
"Sometimes we just have to learn to forgive" beautifully well put, no other words needed as imo this is what the theme of LOU2 is all about. What an incredible game and an unforgettable experience.
Just wanted to add that it's not totally unrealistic that Tommy survived that headshot. There's a man in the USA named Raul Mendez who was in a shooting and was hit in the head and lost his eye like Tommy. He lost consciousness but later got up and "dealt" with his own attacker. Colion Noir on TH-cam has a good interview with him.
I felt so sad and empty after finishing this game , its such a sad but yet the most beautiful piece of art out there , i wish they keep making such games and jackie gets to play them
I see the questioning in your eyes when you said ohh he survived? lol yeah can see by the scar on his face the bullet just grazed by his eye on his cheek... just wanted to say that before I forgot gonna watch the rest now!
Just want to tell everyone... if you still have both your parents.. or even just one... please just go hug them... this game just like in real life shows you that we never know when its going to be the last time... i lost my father 17 years ago... and i lost my mom this February... life comes at you really fast... enjoy your parents while you have them.
"But I would like to try." I don't know if there's ever been more weight, more meaning, more power behind a single phrase in a single piece of media I've experienced. 25 hours of this game all leading up to that one line, which changes everything. Hope you're feeling better after this game. Take some time to yourself.
I cried a river because of that one line. I was so relieved that the words she said to Joel after the Seth incident wasn't her last words to him. Such a powerful moment!
When u were using the bow u weren’t cocking the string back far enough right after the one guy offed his self that’s why the arrow wouldn’t kill. What u bout to play next tho? And did u not know u can release the infected that were chained up?!?! They will help u fight the rattlers.. the ending with the firefly guitar is symbolizing Ellie finally let go of Joel and the fireflies. She left it behind
Such a heart-wrenching and devastatingly beautiful game. That final scene absolutely broke me when I played through it as well. Very brave of you to show your emotions on camera!
After a game like this you need some comedy in your life haha GTA 5 Story line is really good and very very comical throughout if you have never played it. Hmm maybe even a good short story game like Detroit Become Human or something its only 10 hours but a great decision based game.
It's been a real treat to watch you experience this game Jackie for the 1st time 🤘 thank you for all your hard work and outstanding content & look forward to future adventures you have for us 🙏 sending good vibes and happiness to you and family 💖🐰🌻🐝
Thank you Jackie i very much enjoyed watching what is one of my favorite games of all time.. Maybe trying the final fantasy vii remake next or witcher 3 or Uncharted Series?
I love p2 just as much as i love p1 it tested me, it challenged me, i think about it all the time just as i think of p1. Is it different in the way how it plays out yes but it still feels like TLOU to me in its human complexity. It is one of the most ballsy sequels in recent history and makes me appreciate what was set before alot more and thats why i love it...❤ but i also get why people would not like it its alot...😔
Jackie is such a genuine sweet girl. U can tell man. She wears her emotions on her sleeve n can’t hide them. That’s how u know she not fake. Like when Ellie and Abby fought, u can just tell Jackie just didn’t want ANYONE to get hurt . Idk I just respect people like that for some reason . Because this world is so cold especially here in the U.S. We hide our feelings and are more hardened to this life . I respect people who do show there feelings
Nah, that nude content doesn't do anything. I gotta say i loved your playthrough. I've played this game about seven times and the last time with grounded permadeath. This game has the best mechanics I've ever seen, but the most impressive thing was the story. After playing this game multiple times, I can say Abby is by far the best person in this story. She ultimately let it go first and she lost her father. Only thing I'll complain about your stream is you didn't watch the song with Ellie and Joel in the end. I bet you did, but we didnt see that! ;) Anyway. You asked if there's any recommendation for you what to play next? In my opinion, after TLoU2 the next best game narratively ever made is Alan Wake II. Surely you would need to play Alan Wake first, which is a good game too. Just a bit old. I implore you to get into the remedyverse! And not because i live about 3km from the Remedy Studios. But 'cos it is such an exciting story. Hilsen fra Finland!!
Such an Amazing game right? Enjoyed the journey with you watching you experience it... Gosh the ending never gets any easier.... The emptiness will take a few days to subside but it leaves a hole for sure!
I loved Alan Wake, and I hated Control so much! Control may be in the top three worst games I finished. Bought it with DLC, blindly trusting Remedy after my experience with Alan Wake. Was so painful to play, only the DLC related to Alan Wake was ok. Alan Wake 2 is on my to-do list.
Hey @jackieelin. I just want to ask if you heard about the game Life is Strange because its my favourite Storygame with The Last of Us and both of the Games changed my perspective of life so i recommend it to you🙌
I was thrilled to follow your playthrough. I've seen many but very few as interesting as yours. Having said that, this game... omg, this game is truly special. The consequence of your actions and the high price to pay when you choose the path of vengeance and destruction. In my opinion, this is one of the best games ever made about the human condition. TLOU part 2 is a true masterpiece. ❤🩹
Wow, the rollercoaster has come to an end. I am glad you made it through both these games Jackie! 🫶🙂 In the end, I was so relieved to know that Ellie's last words to Joel wasn't what she said to him after that incident with that bigot Seth. She wanted to try to forgive him, and right before she was going to end Abby, she finally "let go". She lost A LOT but maybe she can begin to rebuild herself now. TLOU2 will always hold a special place in my heart. If you've read some of my other comments on various other episodes in this playthrough, you know what this game means to me. I played this game shortly after my wife died of brain cancer on December 24th, 2020. Like Ellie for Abby, I was full of hate for cancer. I compared Abby to the brain tumor that tortured and took my wife's life. Shamra (my wife) and I really loved the first game. And I feel that she wanted me to experience part 2. So I bought them both and played them back to back. I know this probably sounds silly, but if not for TLOU2, I may still be full of hate in my heart. Video games wasn't only a coping mechanism for me, playing through Ellie and Abby's story helped me to "let go" and heal my heart from that hatred and move on. That's what Shamra wanted for me. I still hate cancer, and Ellie will never be besties with Abby, but letting that hate go is so liberating to the soul. That's my take on it anyway. However emotionally draining this game is, it will be one of my all time favorites forever. Until the next game, take some time to recover, and Peace and Love Y'all ✌️😎
I would like to thank everyone for coming in and watched the let's play.
I was so worried to start this game by the thought of being spoiled, but I did not realize that I have the most mature and understanding community out there and the best moderator for reacting so fast to the spoiler comments that could've slipped through.

Wonderful playthrough Jackie! Just a few fun/funny comments after seeing dozens of these. 1) the PUNCH HIM had me laughing in the flashback, and 2) the ending Rattler camp can feel the wrath of those (5) unchained infected... if you free them Did you check out the cool NG+ options and character skins?
What a lovely playthrough jackie ❤️
If you haven't watched the show.. maybe react to it... if you have.. react to the season 2 trailer. those are my suggestions.
Yeah, a huge shoutout to @_axis_ for shutting down those children who tried to spoil the entire game. ✌️😎

One of the few streamers that feels natural and without overreactions.
What drives Ellie is more guilt. She blames herself for not forgiving Joel sooner. Since she found out the truth at the hospital, she cuts off all relations with Joel and at the dance is the first time she interacts with Joel in years. She pushes him away, but instantly regrets it so she goes to see him later. On the porch, in their last conversation, Ellie understands that she’s everything to him and she can't hate him, so she takes the first step towards forgiveness and acceptance, but the next day that happens. Abby ruins that chance to forgive Joel, so killing Abby is like a kind of penance to get rid of the guilt.
At the end, when she's about to kill Abby, she sees him, she sees Joel. During the whole game she hasn't been able to see an image of Joel other than him dead, she's not able to draw his gaze in the diary, but at that moment she sees him, so she stops. In fact, this same thing happens to Abby, she keeps having nightmares about her dead father and it's not until she meets Yara and Lev that she finally gets to see her father. By sparing Abby, Ellie is forgiving herself and Joel, it allows her to restore that bit of humanity left in Ellie, it gives a chance to save that Ellie we met in TLOU1.

Also, up until the theater confrontation, Abby didn't realize that Ellie was the same girl from St. Mary's hospital who was immune, just like Nora didn't realize it until she saw Ellie breathing spores. None of them realized who she was in Jackson.
This part really drives it home: ELLIE’S the villain of the story, not Abby. She’s willing to kill Lev, just to get Abby to fight her.
I've watched the whole gameplay since the 1st game, and this one too. I liked it a lot, gameplay and reaction. This game is something else, to me it is way above every other game I've seen, and I'm glad you decided to play it and didn't regret it afterwards, what's more, loved it.

You can be the coolest customer in the world, but Ellie's "I would like to try" gets _everybody_
Ellie lets Abby go, forgives Joel, forgives herself.
It's not just a simple story of revenge, it's also a story of empathy and forgiveness, especially self-forgiveness
So well said

Really enjoyed this playthrough Jackie! Your experience was similar to mine, and I think you summed it up perfectly at the end. Thanks for sharing!
PS. May I suggest God of War 2018 (followed by Ragnarok) as your next game assuming you haven't played them already.
Thank you for this 💐😇
I would really recommend to you to watch the making of about the Part II... Neil Druckmann says that, maybe, there is an idea, a last part to be told... We can't wait! Amazing playthrough.
That was one of the best playthrough of TLOU 2 I've ever seen! It was awsome!
14:45 Despite everything, I somehow missed that she was dealing with PTSD throughout the story and it finally hit me here
2:11:16 This part always makes me so emotional
2:16:13 This was the scene that I needed
2:24:02 I agree and I would have done the same thing - albeit, I probably would not have gotten past the first Firefly...
2:27:11 Yeah, I agree 100%
2:28:59 I loved it 💕 this was a beautiful playthrough

Excellent stream!!! Loved your entire play through. My favorite game of all time. 👏👏👏👏👏
Such a great game!!!!! Stealth attack. Shh go to sleep. Repeat lol. Hopefully there's a part 3 eventually!!!!
I was hoping to see your reaction to Ashley Johnson(Ellie) and Troy Baker(Joel) singing "Wayfaring Stranger" during the credits. It's pretty great.
Thanks for taking your time to play! I wish they let ellie keep all her fingers to play the guitar perfectly. Your not alone for shedding tears, cyberpunk and red dead 2 made me feel the same way. Looking forward to the next games!
Wow! Thank you so much! 💐🥹
A wonderful playthrough, enjoyed it very much.Thank you.
1:38:13 Damn lol, no one ever frees Anthony on the rattlers.
My first playthrough, I didn't realize until after I killed all the Rattlers, and looting the area, that you could let em loose. 😂
I did it on my playthrough, I wanted some "28 days later" vibe, if you've seen that movie you'll know what I mean.
Great Let's Play, raw/genuine emotions (we've all been there, RDR 2 really comes kinda close) and I love your commentary, really felt/suffered with you. Keep it up! :)
Definitely one of my most favourite games, the only one I ever felt like and actually did play more than once.
And yeah, really bold choices regarding the story choices, but it paid off!
Absolute Gaming 🙌
Your adorable! I enjoyed your play through of this franchise. It’s my all time favorite game. I look forward to more upcoming games Jackie!
Next Uncharted series perhaps. 1-3 (one disk) remastered and 4-5 (one disk) remastered. More funnier, but NaughtyDog message with its good story is there.
That would be awesome!
Hello... You just gained a follower... Loved your reaction to the end of this "game". I like to call this an "experience".
Will watch your playthroughs
Cheers
Thanks for yourself through this. God this game is so beautiful but so emotionally taxing that I only played it through once back when it released. I didn't have it in me to do a "clean-up" run like I normally would do in other games. It's been an experience revisiting these emotions watching you play. We start off hating Abby but then growing to understand her. But then we start to hate seeing the person that Ellie is becoming. You summed it up perfectly at the end.
I'd like to see you play Lies Of P coz I'm just desperate for more LOP content from anywhere😅. I thought it was so cool. Or Control. Control's cool if you like sci-fi. No matter what you play though we're all here for it.
TLOU 1&2 are a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay. I can't wait till part 3 comes out.
I think Tommy can't let it go bc he was a valuable member of the community and now with one eye and a limp, he's not the sniper he was and not as useful, so he has so much rage and hatred towards Abby and wants revenge but can't get it himself so he expects ellie to feel the same and when she doesn't, he loses it.
1:35:15 Jackie! 😂 I was yelling at you "NO WAIT FREE THE ZAMBIE" 🤣 there’s a prompt to take out the pin on the chain here. Its fun letting zAmbie Anthony here get his revenge on those jackasses! 😂
Congratulations on beating the game Jackie! It's a good game & it does leave it open to possibly a 3rd game!😊
Yes, a 3rd game is in development. Neil Druckmann announced it in February this year 😁
Tommy lost a leg and an eye, his brother and his marriage is over, also an heavy injury in the head can change radically someone. making them easily more angry.
If you like games with a post-apocalyptic theme, and if you allow me, I recommend Days Gone (open world game)... Greetings... Very good channel.
It's what makes this game so awesome. It doesn't end with Ellie having to battle some obscure hoard of clickers and their like; it's a real story.
Not your typical zombie monster game. That's exactly why I graduated towards it; and I find most zombie games boring and repetitive.
I would love to see you play black myth wukong and It's just a suggestion it's totally up to you. I would still watch the videos of any game you decide to play!
Great Playthrough dear Jackie. There are some pretty messed up things in my life right now, but.your Videos are like a little Safe Place for me. So, thank you for that.👍♥️
I read this comment earlier today while moderating, and I've been thinking about it ever since.
Honestly, I was always happy to see your enthusiasm for this series in the comments section, and while I'm not Jackie, I think she'll agree when I say that you'll always have a safe place on this channel.
I hope everything gets better for you soon, Tobi.
Peace.
@@_axis_ Thanks for your Kind Words.♥️ But Dont worry about me. I am fine. I will Always Be fine. Life is Not dragging me down.💪
Much Love to you As Well.🥰
I wish you well and I know you will get through the hard times 😊💐
Thank you for being here

That look of self disappointment that Ellie gives after glancing towards the baby gets me every time (15:50)
Also, people usually don't point it out, but Tommy clearly suffered some brain damage that caused a behavior shift, and is likely part of the cause of his marriage falling apart.
I don’t think it’s brain damage necessarily. Abby killed his older brother who he looked up to, left him blind in one eye, and crippled and handicapped him to point which doesn’t allow him to help or contribute around Jackson. Tommy’s anger and shift is expected and honestly understandable which probably affected his marriage with Maria
great playthrough. enjoyed it a lot.
Amazing video girl!! Love from belgium ❤
What a masterpiece
About other possible games, the choice is yours. I could suggest:
Days Gone : another Zambie game but with bikers,
Dark Souls 3, Lies Of P : a lot of people love Lies of P, but it's average to me
Dead Space : terrifying game to me, try it if you want to be afraid, not sure it would be a great game for videos though. But if you want sweaty hands, this is the game.
Until Dawn : I haven't played it, so I won't watch it
Journey : very short and perfect to relax
Shadow of the Colossus : very special game but very unique, again not sure it would make great videos
The evil within 1 and 2
All the other games people suggest.
"Sometimes we just have to learn to forgive" beautifully well put, no other words needed as imo this is what the theme of LOU2 is all about. What an incredible game and an unforgettable experience.
Just wanted to add that it's not totally unrealistic that Tommy survived that headshot. There's a man in the USA named Raul Mendez who was in a shooting and was hit in the head and lost his eye like Tommy. He lost consciousness but later got up and "dealt" with his own attacker. Colion Noir on TH-cam has a good interview with him.
Plus, Tommy wasn't even shot IN the head... The bullet GRAZED the SIDE of his head. But ofc, it was enough of a hit that it knocked him out.
Yea I have a friend who was shot 14 times and one of those was in the head , 2 in the face .
Next stop: Silent Hill 2 Remake pls😁
I felt so sad and empty after finishing this game , its such a sad but yet the most beautiful piece of art out there , i wish they keep making such games and jackie gets to play them
I see the questioning in your eyes when you said ohh he survived? lol yeah can see by the scar on his face the bullet just grazed by his eye on his cheek... just wanted to say that before I forgot gonna watch the rest now!
Just want to tell everyone... if you still have both your parents.. or even just one... please just go hug them... this game just like in real life shows you that we never know when its going to be the last time... i lost my father 17 years ago... and i lost my mom this February... life comes at you really fast... enjoy your parents while you have them.
"But I would like to try."
I don't know if there's ever been more weight, more meaning, more power behind a single phrase in a single piece of media I've experienced. 25 hours of this game all leading up to that one line, which changes everything. Hope you're feeling better after this game. Take some time to yourself.
I cried a river because of that one line. I was so relieved that the words she said to Joel after the Seth incident wasn't her last words to him. Such a powerful moment!
When u were using the bow u weren’t cocking the string back far enough right after the one guy offed his self that’s why the arrow wouldn’t kill. What u bout to play next tho? And did u not know u can release the infected that were chained up?!?! They will help u fight the rattlers.. the ending with the firefly guitar is symbolizing Ellie finally let go of Joel and the fireflies. She left it behind
Such a heart-wrenching and devastatingly beautiful game. That final scene absolutely broke me when I played through it as well. Very brave of you to show your emotions on camera!
Yo Jackie, how about some non depressing/rage inducing lets play? For example gta v story mode.
I love GTA5! Good suggestion. 🙂 I spend way too much time on GTA online. It's almost like I live in Los Santos 😂
2:20:12 i had the same reaction, i cried for hours lol
After a game like this you need some comedy in your life haha GTA 5 Story line is really good and very very comical throughout if you have never played it. Hmm maybe even a good short story game like Detroit Become Human or something its only 10 hours but a great decision based game.
Gta v +10000
I hope you enjoyed the game.
❤❤❤
Any chances of you playing through the Uncharted series? Its also made by Naughty Dog
Yeah, these are really great games! Nathan Drake even had his ring stored in a bank deposit box in TLOU2. 😆 Such a cool lil easter egg to find.
It's been a real treat to watch you experience this game Jackie for the 1st time 🤘 thank you for all your hard work and outstanding content & look forward to future adventures you have for us 🙏 sending good vibes and happiness to you and family 💖🐰🌻🐝
Thank you Jackie i very much enjoyed watching what is one of my favorite games of all time.. Maybe trying the final fantasy vii remake next or witcher 3 or Uncharted Series?
I love p2 just as much as i love p1 it tested me, it challenged me, i think about it all the time just as i think of p1. Is it different in the way how it plays out yes but it still feels like TLOU to me in its human complexity.
It is one of the most ballsy sequels in recent history and makes me appreciate what was set before alot more and thats why i love it...❤ but i also get why people would not like it its alot...😔
Jackie is such a genuine sweet girl. U can tell man. She wears her emotions on her sleeve n can’t hide them. That’s how u know she not fake. Like when Ellie and Abby fought, u can just tell Jackie just didn’t want ANYONE to get hurt . Idk I just respect people like that for some reason . Because this world is so cold especially here in the U.S. We hide our feelings and are more hardened to this life . I respect people who do show there feelings
Nah, that nude content doesn't do anything.
I gotta say i loved your playthrough. I've played this game about seven times and the last time with grounded permadeath.
This game has the best mechanics I've ever seen, but the most impressive thing was the story.
After playing this game multiple times, I can say Abby is by far the best person in this story. She ultimately let it go first and she lost her father.
Only thing I'll complain about your stream is you didn't watch the song with Ellie and Joel in the end. I bet you did, but we didnt see that! ;)
Anyway. You asked if there's any recommendation for you what to play next?
In my opinion, after TLoU2 the next best game narratively ever made is Alan Wake II. Surely you would need to play Alan Wake first, which is a good game too. Just a bit old.
I implore you to get into the remedyverse! And not because i live about 3km from the Remedy Studios. But 'cos it is such an exciting story.
Hilsen fra Finland!!
1. JACKIE DA BEST
2. When dark souls part 2 XD
Part 2 is on the channel 😂
@jackieelin grrrrr
Such an Amazing game right? Enjoyed the journey with you watching you experience it... Gosh the ending never gets any easier.... The emptiness will take a few days to subside but it leaves a hole for sure!
Hey Jackie, Alan Wake/DLC, Control/DLC, and Alan wake 2/DLC are 3 games you would enjoy since they are in the same universe.
I loved Alan Wake, and I hated Control so much! Control may be in the top three worst games I finished. Bought it with DLC, blindly trusting Remedy after my experience with Alan Wake. Was so painful to play, only the DLC related to Alan Wake was ok. Alan Wake 2 is on my to-do list.
I would like to see Detriot become Human and Beyond two souls😊
I like the story of Abby but one of the ugliest characters ever made in a video game
Her voice actress, Laura Bailey, is a lil more pleasing to the eyes 😜
Hey @jackieelin. I just want to ask if you heard about the game Life is Strange because its my favourite Storygame with The Last of Us and both of the Games changed my perspective of life so i recommend it to you🙌
I was thrilled to follow your playthrough. I've seen many but very few as interesting as yours.
Having said that, this game... omg, this game is truly special. The consequence of your actions and the high price to pay when you choose the path of vengeance and destruction. In my opinion, this is one of the best games ever made about the human condition. TLOU part 2 is a true masterpiece. ❤🩹
Wow, the rollercoaster has come to an end. I am glad you made it through both these games Jackie! 🫶🙂 In the end, I was so relieved to know that Ellie's last words to Joel wasn't what she said to him after that incident with that bigot Seth. She wanted to try to forgive him, and right before she was going to end Abby, she finally "let go". She lost A LOT but maybe she can begin to rebuild herself now.
TLOU2 will always hold a special place in my heart. If you've read some of my other comments on various other episodes in this playthrough, you know what this game means to me. I played this game shortly after my wife died of brain cancer on December 24th, 2020. Like Ellie for Abby, I was full of hate for cancer. I compared Abby to the brain tumor that tortured and took my wife's life. Shamra (my wife) and I really loved the first game. And I feel that she wanted me to experience part 2. So I bought them both and played them back to back. I know this probably sounds silly, but if not for TLOU2, I may still be full of hate in my heart. Video games wasn't only a coping mechanism for me, playing through Ellie and Abby's story helped me to "let go" and heal my heart from that hatred and move on. That's what Shamra wanted for me. I still hate cancer, and Ellie will never be besties with Abby, but letting that hate go is so liberating to the soul. That's my take on it anyway.
However emotionally draining this game is, it will be one of my all time favorites forever. Until the next game, take some time to recover, and Peace and Love Y'all
✌️😎
