  • Several years ago I did an episode about The Last of Us. However, Grounded Mode didn't exist back then. Time to finally tackle the hardest difficulty on one of the greatest games ever made.

    This was a pleasure to put together. Always a treat working with The Last of Us.
    Games like this and Bioshock have such great source material - powerful dialogue, stunning environments, great story - that it allows me to be more creative in the edit and hopefully capture some of what makes them special.
    Before The Last of Us Part II come out, I must do something else with this classic. Perhaps a live stream of Grounded or Grounded +.
    Regarding the next episode, I am toying with something a bit different. Not all brilliant games have trophies. Will make a quick video about it in the next week or two.
    Thank you for watching and the absurd amount of lovely messages you all leave on a daily basis.
    See you in the comments.

    Missed these videos!!!! For the section at 16:06 I stay in the big room and I use the molotovs at groups of enemys, and I throw bottles at the runners then run up and stab them. As far as the Bloater I use a bomb and keep moving and throwing any bottles at it. David also shoots it and usually you don’t have to waste much ammo on it. Then again I only beat up to Survivor + not grounded yet! LOVE THE PLATINUM SERIES

    • @AdamMcDermott
      @AdamMcDermott  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Solid strategy. With so little supplies on Grounded, I only had the one Molotov that I wanted to save for the bloater. Didn't want to chance getting all the way to the end and die at the final enemy.

      And yes, indeed - the Financial District and the part where you have to get a card, activate a generator and then get to a door that can only be opened with said card after running through a lot of enemies, a bloater included, was also extremely bitter.
      The Firefly Lab in itself is also pretty difficult, but it was way easier for me since I have conserved a whole lot of ammo on my playthrough.
      In hindsight, all previous sections were a bit harder.
      All in all, it's a challenge that I'm proud of having beaten, but some parts were just too frustrating for me to redo it.
      Other than that, I also wanted to say that I really love your videos and I admire all the passion and effort that goes into them. The effect of that is that I can't get tired of watching them, even if it is the 50th time or so (which is the case with the Modern Warfare and, I think, the Shovel Knight platinum journeys).

    About Financial District: enemy spawns are weird. I always kill the first few guys stealthily but then I alert the others while making sure Ellie can see them (and shoot them) while they run towards me (I'm usually on top of the truck opposite where you start, the truck with cover on top). Killing the last guy while he's alert skips a spawn, works great for me :)

    • @AdamMcDermott
      @AdamMcDermott  5 ปีที่แล้ว

    @NeoLotex ปีที่แล้ว

    I still remember when I made my way through Grounded, I think it was actually the last trophy I had left except the journeys and it was amazing. A good chunk of it was probably because I knew the game like the back of my hand at this point I surprisingly found Grounded easier than previous playthroughs, because not relying on listen mode made me a much better player.
    Everything came to a halt after that though because I just couldn't bring myself to start the journeys, but June of last year it finally happened as my 100th platinum milestone. It was definitely far from the hardest platinum, but it's still a special one because I finally conquered my demons of "I'm scared to lose all my progress" and it took almost 3 years from the first to the last platinum.
    I was only recently made aware of the fact that I didn't even have to finish Grounded at all for the platinum, but back then I think I thought "Survivor+" meant whatever was above Survivor and since the patch was already out by that point I just went with it.
    Edit: Just reached the part with David and the bloater. If you're not above using tricks/glitches/whatever or if you're getting desperate, you can get on top of the table where the Bloater spawns where no enemy can reach you. This way you can let David take care of most enemies or at least distract and struggle with them, so you can just swoop in for a knife kill. As for the Bloater, once he spawns and jumps down you just have to shoot his leg and he dies instantly, no idea if it's because he kinda spawns new once he lands, but can't load properly because he's missing the leg or something, but it works.

    So fun fact, from what I know, *you're not meant to stealth the segment in Pittsburg.* The story needs Ellie to use her rifle so the game will quietly keep spawning enemies until you get the hint and go loud.

    • @AdamMcDermott
      @AdamMcDermott  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      While the story does want Ellie to use the rifle, you can actually stealth the whole section. There are only two waves of enemies. Here is a good example. This is killing the last guy of the first wave and then killing all but the very last guy stealthily. Ellie never fires a shot.

    Mr McDermott sir, firstly, as I have mentioned before, amazing videos, well edited and presented. You are very engaging and presentable. The amount of time you put into your videos makes my mind boggle. I really want more content from you, although I realise you can’t do more platinum playthroughs due to the time and quality of game you are playing. What about shorter videos on why you like trophy hunting, more on you and what you get up to, where have you been travelling and why? A chap called staypationt had a channel. You can still find the videos on you tube, but he has sadly stopped now. Think you would be great for similar work.

    • @AdamMcDermott
      @AdamMcDermott  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for such kind words. I really appreciate it.
      As for shorter videos, I experimented with that last year and it ended up taking time away from Platinum Journey. Only 3 episodes were made in the whole year. In comparison, 2 episodes this year with a third already filmed.
      Shorter unscripted videos seem to be one answer covering the topics you mentioned, "why you like trophy hunting, more on you and what you get up to, where have you been travelling and why?" These wouldn't take much time to shoot/edit. However, I have some reservations because I feel they would lower the overall quality of the channel. When I put out a new video, I want it to be worthy of people's time.
      I would like to do live streaming or a podcast in the future which would be the perfect thing for all the informal stuff. One step at a time. Main focus this year is being more consistent with episodes of Platinum Journey. If I can manage that, then I will look to expand.
      I remember StayPationt. Him quitting was out of nowhere. Wish him the best. Seems like a nice guy.

  • @pleinsud200

    I play games normally on "normal" but The Last of Us is worth the platinum trophy, so i played it in grounded+. Made 4 playthroughs: first on normal, back when it released on PS4, then couple weeks before the launch of part 2. The third on easy+ to get the collectibles & upgrades and experience the amazing story again and then on grounded+ (thankfully there is a glitch where you can play the new game+ on every difficulty you want). For the grounded+ playthrough I followed a speedrun where the point of it is "just run for it" :D just the forced battles in with Ellie and the financial district were a real pain. It was a real joy to watch the 7 difficulty related trophies pop up (hard, survival, grounded, normal+ - grounded+). Now just the last grind for the Hunter trophy.
    Btw.: You can one-shot the Bloater in the coal mine by shooting in its knee or foot, when it's on top of the elevator or just dropped down^^
