- The Last of Us 2 combines terrible writing, an incoherent plot, and preachy identity politics, all wrapped up in the most anti-consumer, anti-free speech advertising campaign in video game history.
This game is appalling, the Copyright Abuse perpetrated by the publisher is appalling, and Sony and Naughty Dog have now become synonymous with abusing BOTH their customers and their own staff.
The Last of Us 2 is a masterclass in how to destroy a franchise and disintegrate your company's brand. Watch and learn.

Bigot sandwiches lol I find it hilarious that Ellie can’t forgive the guy who made her sandwiches but she forgives Abby for bashing Joel’s head in with a golf club lol
Well that was kind of the point of that scene. At the beginning of the game she can't even let go of something minor like that and by the end she learns to forgive the person who basically ruined her life. I'm not a fan of the game by any stretch but that was clearly meant as a representation of her arch. You can use that logic to make anything seem dumb. "Lol Luke can't even beat some sand people but he beats Vader 1v1?!"
Robert Braun I no that was her arch I just think it’s cheap arch and just think it only took hundreds of murders and creating hundreds of more cycles of violence for her to get to that point classic lol you no what part 3 should be it should be little JJ 20 years later all grown up and he wants to hunt down the women whose built like an ox that murdered his father who was just needed to impregnate Dina so they could have a lesbian family Neil druckman at his best right there lol
Bigot sandwiches sounds good right now. Better than feeding two fingers to your nemesis.
@@trashasaurus But he beat Vader after training for years to become a Jedi... That's not a good comparison. He also lost the first time he fought Vader.
How does she not know what a ice cream truck is but she knows what a bigot is?
let that sink in for a moment, that’s how shitty the writing is
I could only pre order 1 and man I'm so happy I picked Ghost of Tsushima
^This.
If Ghost of Tsushima is a shitty game, that is only semi-open world, with a dull story, bad combat mechanics, and it feels like a bit of a let down ... YOU are still winning. Good call. You just won Smartest Video Gamer Purchasing Decision of 2020. I resent buying LoU2 and I had to review it ffs.
You did well! That game is pure GOLD!
Yep I just started playing it Monday. Its certainly not perfect but holy crap I'm having a blast!
a game that let you do the revenge. One mission you could choose to kill one person or all of them.
@@21Kiloton I'm just curious about what games you do enjoy. Because you don't seem to like anything haha
Letting a heavily pregnant woman in combat was the most idiotic and hilarious thing I have seen in a videogame.
at one Point Mel climbs up a rope 😂 i paused 1 second and was wondering why they thought that we are dumb and wouldn‘t notice?
In a world where not only civilization has died but a zombie apocalypse has taken place breeding age women aren't going to be fighting anything.
@@ajsouza3720 Of course not- what Druckmann doesn't want to admit is that once all that institutional social structures of western society are gone, we would probably regress to tribalism hierarchies- simple, efficient, unfair and utilitarian.
I can just see the conversation now.
"oh, you, woman? You feel entitled to be out hunting with the boys? That's cute, you stay and look after the children, maintain the camp and prepare meals. You die out there, we lose a breeding age woman, her equipment and all the resources we wasted keeping you alive till this point. No shut you mouth unless spoken too"
Yeah, guess what, tribal cultures aren't pretty.
These people always go on about how "crisis is the great equalizer". It is, just not in the way these people think it is.
@ exactly the rope climbing really got me..I was thinking who thought this was good idea( then I remembered it is edy Uckmann's writing) not only she is pregnant but she had greater value to the community being a doctor especially in the apocalypse..just fucking idiotic
you guys are bigots , dont you know that pregnant woman have additional shield on her belly ? its literally "meat shield" .
xD
Almost 2 years later and this game has left zero impact on the industry or anyone, good job Neil for ruining a potential franchise.
I think a dog farting had more affect on society than this game
Hmmm great points
Left no impact, yet people still talk about it years later, whether good or bad, yeah, no impact but it brings out the most emotion in people, Keep coping buddy
That comment has aged like milk, considering there has been a very popular HBO series since then and a second season underway, which will be the second game....
@@Rocko130185 ah yes the very popular brokeback mountain ESG shitshow with fetal alcohol syndrome ellie literally nobody ever talked about except when the first season launched and people laughed their asses off.
I'm surprised at the number of people that vilify Joel for his actions in the first game and fail to see the context in which these arise. I'm by no means saying he is a good guy, and in the context of the hospital scene Joel’s decision was warranted, but it was ultimately the fireflies who set the events in motion in which they waste their chance at a vaccine ( which shouldn’t be called that anyway). They literally handled the situation in the worst possible way.
> they knock Joel unconscious while trying to resuscitate Ellie.
> for some reason the fireflies decide to kill Ellie for a chance at a vaccine not even after a day has passed, only having made some basic testing. Why would you rush research for the most important thing in humanity with the risk of not having another chance at it?
> Fireflies just keep her sedated and won’t even ask for her consent for the procedure. THE FIREFLIES TOOK AWAY ANY POSSIBILITY OF CHOICE BEFORE JOEL DID (This being a massive plot point in Part 2). You could argue Marlene was Ellie’s guardian and made the choice for her, but the same case could be made for Joel seeing all they went through together and the bond they formed. Also there was a conflict of interest since that decision directly benefits Marlene’s cause. The least the fireflies could do is sit everyone down and tell Ellie what the procedure implies or if there were any other alternatives. Supposedly there was no other way but to kill her, but how can you say that after only testing and researching for less than a day? Already we see flagrant ethical and procedure issues. Which would be enough to warrant Joel trying to defend her. The fact that they ignore all this informed consent process ( at least for the sake of keeping a semblance of ethics and moral compass) basically means that Abby’s father was going to commit murder, which adds to Joel being justified to save her.
> Joel then wakes up and gets agitated at the prospect of Ellie being killed. Gets his gear taken and is walked out at gunpoint, after all the bullshit they went through to get there.
> Joel, an old man with a penchant for duct-taping trash together, proceeds to slaughter the fireflies to save the only semblance of a daughter figure in the godforsaken world.
By the way, Joel killing the fireflies was technically self-defense, because they actively restrain him with the threat of deadly force if he doesn’t comply with the demands of leaving the premise, which also means he was justified to use deadly force to defend himself.
TL;DR - The fireflies indirectly undermined their own chances at the vaccine by completely mishandling the exchange with Ellie and Joel. Joel’s reaction was warranted.
Nuance is not allowed in 2020. Sorry m8.
Not to mention, the Fireflies DEFINITELY did NOT have pure intentions with a cure. They’re a bunch of desperate people at war with the government, they most definitely would have used the vaccine as a power leverage, especially when you take into account that there’s no way to mass distribute it.
Exactly right, and plus let's assume that they do somehow get a vaccine through Ellie. That's enough for like 25 people max. How do they go about making more with limited supplies, or even making any when Ellie couldn't even find any pennicilin for nearly a whole winter. Where do they go to mass produce such a vaccine if they don't decide to personally profit off it. The military? No they're at odds, the government? Whatever is left of it won't want to work with terrorists. There's no way to even get the vaccine out and even then it won't stop clickers from tearing out your throat and bloaters from ripping apart your jaw. How do they even get to the fucking military, they lost so many of their numbers just getting to where they were at. They likely wouldn't survive getting back, and as for Marlene. In the left behind DLC it's stated that Ellie had only known Marlene for a few weeks. There was very little emotional attachment on Ellie's part and that's stated so I don't even know what Marlene is talking about in the end.
@Michael Williams There weren't other immune people, Ellie is the only one. That audio log was referring to past cases of infected they'd looked at, not those immune.
Yeah but when I played as Joel I knew ellie would want to be the cure so Joel would to. And Joel did know that's why he lied. Joel was not a hero. A understandable human but not a hero. And at the end of the day he took the choice from ellie too. Joel knew what she wanted he KNEW. He was just selfish and human. That's why ellie in the second game had a standoffish relationship with Joel.
I asked the question of “would you let me die for the cure to a zombie virus” because I was genuinely curious (my dads a pretty logical person so there might’ve been a chance he would’ve said yes) and when he said “no” I asked “even if it was for the betterment of humanity?” And he said “I’m not super stoked with how humanity is going anyway” and idk why but I feel like that was the perfect answer to that question for me.
As a father of 3 and a sufferer of depression and anti social anxiety disorder, I can 110% agree with your dad.
@@The_Electric_54 Fuck her wants. She's a child.
@@The_Electric_54 You'll make an awful parent letting a less experienced, less intelligent person, i.e, a child make life and death decisions.
@@The_Electric_54 wrong. Before arriving to the hospital Ellie and Joel had no idea she was going to have to sacrifice herself for the cure. The fireflies made the choice for her first. And in tlou she she says she wanted to due to survivors guilt.
@@The_Electric_54 i never said what Joel did wasn’t wrong in terms of consequences. But saying that Ellie WANTED TO (at that point) is also wrong and just an assuming, because she didn’t know, Its just a fact. In the university section, Joel and Ellie clearly talk about what they thought the fireflies were gonna do to Ellie once they arrive, to which they say they’ll probably just run some bloodwork and be done with it. So no, Ellie didn’t have sacrifice in her mind at least in that moment, saying otherwise is just making an assumption. And even though she says she would’ve died for a cure year later doesn’t mean that her choice wasn’t taken from her by the Fireflies or Joel.
Also many people ignore that the fireflies made the choice for Ellie before Joel. The FFlies had all the time to make a good plan, run tests, explore alternatives and yet they still decided to sedate Ellie immediately after finding her unconscious only to conclude she would have to be sacrificed for the cure, and all this in matter of hours. And then of course Joel disagrees and takes Ellie away, and with that also the vaccine/cure. The key difference to me is that Joel’s choice came out of urgency, he had only minutes to decide whether to save Ellie or let her die for a cure. Meanwhile the fireflies had plenty of times to make a pragmatic decision and still decided to impose their choice over hers, without asking out of decency at the very least.
I was done after 25 or so hours into the game. Honestly, I just hated The Last Of Us 2 so the franchise ended with the first game as far as I'm concerned.

It almost appears that Neil Druckmann used homosexuality as a force field to protect his shoddy game from all critics by shutting them up and shutting them down by shaming them as bigots regardless of why gamers insult his crappy game.
Nailed it. Watch some of Coach Tool Sheds videos about this franchise mate. Neil Druckmann spent years laying the ground work, positioning the critics of this game so that any complaint would be labelled as "bigotry". Its very devious.
Troy Baker said "go in with an open mind" so when people didn't like the game he and ND could say "you're too closed minded".
@@6581punk. Troy Baker's remark reminds me of indoctrinating college professors.
@@drewdowdy3155 The same people who laugh at Trump and say he is thin-skinned seem equally unable to take criticism. The press has all lapped up the game and given it 10/10 and masterpiece ratings, is that not enough for ND? oh maybe they know those reviews aren't genuine? :)
"Sir. We have pointed issues with the story."
Yuckmann + the plebs: "YOURE JUST A BIGOT. You're too stupid to get the obvious moral of the story. It's a MASTERPIECE”

It's actually true. Very few people you can trust let alone a zoomer or millennial. LMAO They'll sell you for bathwater.
Truly a deep message we can all learn from and grow.
@Nighthawk or avocado toast 😄
what? the group of "hipsters" (a meaningless term in a post-apocalyptic world) saved Joel and Tommy from being eaten
@@jamesliggins891
You mind explaining how they knew where every zombie was when they were essentially just holed up in that area where they found abby?
You know what they say: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see your writers retcon your character to make you a villain while telling the audience to sympathize with the actual villain who killed you."
ellie when drowning abby: HUH KILLING IS BAD WHAT AM I DOING
also ellie: goes on a huge murder spree in Seattle that leaves hundreds of people who had nothing to do with Joel's death butchered and mutilated
Ludonarrative dissonance. Quite a few games suffer from it.
People love and praise Uncharted which is even worse in that regard. Yet just because they don't like this game they use that as an excuse for 'bad writing". Every Uncharted game has this and the first TLOU has this same problem. Where were you guys when the first game came out? Didn't see you all complaining about this.
@@leonardodentzien4729 because uncharted wasn't a game that took itself as seriously as the last of us and the last of us 1s gameplay didn't really interfere with the narrative/theme as much as last of us part 2
Milbox R Regardless of how serious Uncharted takes itself. It's called Ludonarrative dissonance and every modern Naughty Dog game has it. I bet you weren't complaining before, but now apparently it's a problem.
Milbox R Tlou2 acknowledges it. and last of us 1s killing was for a good cause (getting the cure to securely arrive at the hospital)
still can't believe they killed one of the ps4 greatest games of all time
Technically it was PS3 first. It was remastered on PS4.
That would be like Resident Evil killing off Jill or Chris
@@henrytownshed5304 Joel being killed wasn’t the issue imho, I feel like it was pretty reasonable to go into the sequel thinking he was going to die. His narrative arc has already been fulfilled thru the first game. I think the main issue is the way they handled the death and how the made ellie refuse to kill his killer only at the very end.
@@dathunderman4 It was either going to be zombies, reavers, or old age. Having Senator Armstrong stove his head in is nonsense.
The Last of Us Part II is proof that a polished game with beautiful Graphics cannot save a shity story.
Perfect example really. It’s probably the best looking game I’ve seen on console so far and yet It was rather mediocre overall in terms of gameplay and story. I’m more specifically mad with the story tho personally lol
@@dathunderman4 I think that's what that reviewer meant when she said that basically every game gets a 7 or 8 grade: most of the heavy lifting on graphics and world building is being done by the game engines and those have become very good. So that's basically a 6 or 7 grade developers get for free, because that's all due to the engine. On top of that they create the stories and if those are s***, then that 6 or 7 grade plus a 1 grade for effort gives you a 7 or 8 grade for the game.
Its a story written about right and wrong, written by people who think they're always right
i'm sorry...what in this game says anything about what's right and what's wrong?
@@jamesliggins891 So the writers claim... I wouldn't dwell too much in their sick machinations. You know what they say about looking into the abyss.
@@tabaflip really good point, actually. Spending countless hours attacking (or defending) the game is exactly what the publisher wants. We've taken the bait. And it wasn't even _good_ bait.
I think the better quote is “it is about empathy from a game that shows none to the player”
Actually from a Japanese reviewer who summed up the story best - it’s a story about right and wrong, written by people who think they’re always right.

"Record sales" is a meaningless phrase. Most sales in the first hour? On a Friday? Over a weekend? You get the idea.
Excellent point. I believe it was Ubisoft who got busted bragging about the sales of The Division 2 being record breaking. When in fact is was record breaking sales on Uplay ... and the game had been pulled from Steam.
I think the fact they were bragging about "record sales" during a literal pandemic kinda has Sony playing their hand a bit.
It's time we look into who's "buying" copies, distributors who retail them or end-users? Because Fallout 76 had comparable numbers to TLOU2, and like Fallout 76 there's quite a lot of pictures of overstocked store shelves burdened with this game.
This'd also explain the drop: Retailers wouldn't order another shipment of a product that's not selling.
Can’t imagine it has sold better than god of war or spider man.
Record sales to distributors.
Not to the people.

@@RebornGalaxy I care because they helped fuck up a franchise I was supposed to love. Now it's just one game I love followed by a game I hate followed by games I'm not going to play at all most likely
@@RebornGalaxy I agree that they give us great games, Ghost of Tsushima literally prevented the PS4 from ending on such a sour note but this dog shit still needs attention. 100% majority of criticism will forever fall on Neil Druckmann but Sony also didn’t do their part by either not realizing or not caring that Neil Druckmann was too full of himself to lead this story with a co writer that had just as much of a dog shit mentality as him. Sony put money into the first game because they obviously wanted it to do good and Neil was carried by other writers for part 1. That game did great and became a PS4 classic. When it comes to TLOU2 they won’t say or do shit because despite the massive amount of valid and reasonable negative feedback, too many journalists sold out for this game and too many people were hyped and pre ordered which resulted in the game winning unnecessary awards and GOTY. Shit like that makes Sony look good so they can’t really do much except making sure that fucker Druckmann doesn’t touch anything more important which I highly doubt since Neil was recently appointed the CEO of Naughty Dog. Time will tell if he releases more shitty games and the studio either gets reorganized with a competent leader or dissolved.
How did they spoil it? I thought either a former Naughty Dog employee or random person was able to leak the story

@Wim you're exactly right. And I'm sick of how all the simps just turned on Joel cause Cuckmann told them too.
@Wim uh, fuck that. if we're in a post-apocalyptic world and someone starts shouting racist or homophobic or misogynistic shit, you're still getting put in your place. you need to be able to trust people in this kind of world, and you can't trust people who hate you for who you are. without laws and borders set up in society, people turn into animals, and start raping and lynching and killing each other for stupid reasons, as we've seen in this world -- anything that sows hatred between other people need to be stamped out.
@Wim if that's what you took away from this game, too bad for you
Imagine if social media werent a thing, and studioes like these werent as easily able to market ragebait.
Youd likely get a game equivalent to its predecessor.
We can dream.
You must be high. They would have made the same game and got away with duping the entire public into buying it. It was because of social media that the game got leaked and millions were able to keep their $60 and not spend it on this trash.

@@jasont.9559 Im talking pre 2008. and it would leaked on forums hypothetically. Because that aligns exactly with when all this "muh broader audience" "challenging conventions" appeal shtick in gaming started to take off.
They became this cocky because of all the metrics, surveilance data and profiling of the audience they can get from major social media. Hence theyre marketing ragebait under the ethos of bad publicity is still relevance.
Back in the days when shit didnt focus test well, and all these publishers had to go on was sales, they may have been subversive but not inflammatory they pulled it back until they got a product thatd sit well with most consumers. Big money is naturally risk averse.

@@Ghost_Text yeah you nailed it. It's really hard to emphasize just how cynical this process is - it's all about *money* and anyone who doesn't believe that is naive.
While I do agree that it's good the leaks spread via social media (along with the God-tier memes), I think we all agree that we wouldn't be in this situation if multi-billion dollar international media conglomerates weren't beholden to the blue checkmark army for approval. These people are, by and large, literal nobodies. How they violently arrested control of all of media and popular culture in a span of just a few years will be the subject of much study in the future.
Every review of this game I've watched/read says there is a good chunk of usable, fun, and appealing content, whether that's the gun porn, combat mechanics, UI, art direction, etc. So these people *can* competently design parts of games. They just choose to constantly veer in weird directions that no one asked for and genuinely confuses people, no matter how "woke."
This can't be emphasized enough: this is about money. And, in the day of social media, it's about selling clicks and impressions so Google, Facebook, etal. can target you with ads to buy shit. That's it.
They should've used Dina's actor's actual chest, would've balanced out Abby's chest.

Absolutely nonsensical story that gaslights the player like The Last Jedi does with its flowery pretentious language when really it’s just horribly written
What flowery pretentious language? It's just farcically incompetent dialogue that is far more often profane than profound. Actually, it's never profound.
Did Anita sarkeesian had a finger or a whole fist in this by any chance?, and Naughty dog just forgot to annaunce it
@@Runemanden88 actually I'm pretty sure she and Neil worked hand in hand, not only with the story and characters but also getting females, and all that into games, whilst they fire the Uncharted writer. Makes perfect sense. It's not really about rights, it's about PR and money. Even one of Anita's interns or Coworker of whatever went to Twitter looking for work and selling her collection as Anita fired almost everyone, even tho they reached their fundraising goal for Feminist Frequency and it's event (can't remember all the details). So it's all money, these ppl don't care, and they don't buy or play the games.
Agreed, friend. Today we’re screamed at, Like it! otherwise there’s something wrong with you.
Who would have thought, that in a possible post apocalyptic world teenage girls will be the biggest and furious killers.
This is the only review I was looking forward to for this game.
NDruckman is a real sociopath, he has shown his true face with this game.As you say, a murder simulator as his brain work, no wonder how he treats and threatens his employers and co-creators.
@Adam Thompson Is there really a difference?
He's simply a classic narcissist who's being instructed by the narcissistic sociopath Anita Sarkeesian.
Psychopaths and sociopaths manipulate narcissists (easy prey) and they usually don't behave that stupid, though sociopaths tend to do do reckless and shortsighted stuff.
Adam Thompson - Liberals aren’t far-left.
Awesome, and I mean awesome, review. Hands down the fairest review of the game I have heard thus far. It had me laughing for hours.
The final metaphor is spot on and I don't think it was lost on most people that this game had the gaming industry's most famous and beloved father figure being brutally and mercilessly murdered by an androgynous abomination. The death of the old family values at the hands of an inhuman agenda which brutalizes and desecrates the fatherhood and family dynamics we grew to love.
One good thing that has come out of all of this has been the comedy, this debacle has been a humor and comedy goldmine. The memes and reviews like yours that have satirized this dumpster fire have given a large audience laughter during humorless times.
The hysterical wit and satire of this video alone is worth the financial losses to Naughty Dog and the crushing fan disappointment, this review was a comedy masterpiece.
Thank you very much for this video, it is fine comedy and outstanding genuine video game journalism.
Thank you kindly.
I was expecting this game's main focus to be on Joel finally confessing to Ellie about what he did at the hospital and why he chose her over humanity but he literally tells her what happened IN A FLASHBACK like it doesn't mean shit. THAT WAS THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION JOEL HAD TO MAKE AND HE CONFESSES TO ELLIE IN A FLASHBACK? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
But no, the game focuses on literally nothing anyone cares about.
Ellie starts to resent Joel for taking that choice away from her. She wants to hurt Joel the same way he hurt her. When Joel tells her he would do it all over again given the chance, Ellie begins to understand him, telling him that she doesn't know if she can forgive him but she's willing to try. The following day Abby kills Joel. So now Ellie can't forgive him. That's why Ellie is so irrational and erratic throughout this game. She's mad at herself for not forgiving Joel earlier and spending more time with him, she's mad at Joel for taking that decision in the hospital away from her, and she's mad at Abby for killing him. Honestly the weight of Joel and that decision in my opinion is all throughout this game. What Joel did in that hospital changed all the character's life in this game. Every single one of the character's were affected by that decision. I just wanted to share with you what I got out of this game. If you don't agree that's fine.

Didn't think I could handle any more reviews of this train wreck but couldn't resist hearing your take.
Great review. Entertaining and thought provoking as usual mate.
Obviously a lot of work goes into writing something as rich and coherent, funny and insightful and yet make it sound like your half cut mate chatting over a few pints down the local.
You deserve so many more subs
Problem when you make a GAME based on characters and storyline: The the characters are unlikable and the storyline is broken, the game doesn't work, at all.
I think that's part of what makes older games work, honestly, before every "AAA" release required 2+ hours of cinematics.
The character you play is supposed to be _you_ - or you _playing_ someone else - who naturally carries your own personal characteristics, emotions, and character.
I don't want to play as someone the writers seem to actively make me despise.
@@hikeskool Well, older games were just games. The idea was for you to enjoy them when you were bored. Naughty Dog wants to grant you an experience. That means the gaming aspect of gaming is removed, thus, you're forced to enjoy their version of a good story line. That's not a game.
@@hikeskool Well normally it's the writer's job to make likable or at least relatable characters so you can emotionally invest in them and care about what happens to them. The writing was so bad in TLOUS2 though that none of the characters came off as likable/relatable. Making it hard for the players to even invest themselves in the terrible story.
@@nokturnallex2160 Right, this doesn't strike me as the type of Colonel Kurtz Heart of Darkness Through the Looking Glass-type of situation.
At least in a game like Spec Ops: The Line you can watch your character *become* a moral degenerate with no redeeming qualities.
Not so here.
Having listened to this video, having read many of the comments and not wanting to repeat what others have already said, I can honestly say that every video game manufacturer should hire you for your input before they launch anything.
Respect.
Thank you for your kind words.
I straight up lost interest in playing this game after Joel died
How I felt when Arthur died
@@exoticfoodreviews1319 yeah but he died pretty much at the end, not at the beginning, 2 hours of Marston isn't as bad as 12 hours as Abby
@@elmexicano555 yea and it felt better than Joel.
They did that man dirty
i mean, you can't really make any sort of fair or realistic criticism of the game if that's the case
@@jamesliggins891 I'm still playing through it, it's just very hard to continue playing as if I'm forcing myself to do a chore I don't want to do. It's that bad. The story sucks so bad man, the only good parts are the Joel flashbacks.
They killed him off way too early and in the dumbest way possible.
The only reason it doesn't have microtransactions right now is because there's no multiplayer mode. But there is one coming, and oh boy, just wait for the MTX's when that happens. Go back and check how many MTX the first game has for the multiplayer, the UK store shows a staggering 142 add-ons. That's right, 142 individual MTX's!
A question nobody asks is how did they even know it was Joel who killed the fireflies? He killed all the ones at the facility, then the woman at the end begging to spare her life and in Joel's own words said "You'll just come after us." and shot her to tie up the last loose end.
Any other fireflies walking in and seeing the place would reasonably assume that it was the government agency who raided the place and wiped everyone out and be none the wiser.
Obviously, if Niel explained it, it would be a sequence where Abby at the hospital finds a recorder in the hospital that has Joel's voice in it along with him saying his name like an idiot. Or fireflies panicking and saying his name. But even that stupidity would be too much effort so Niel just magick'd Abby to know it.
the thing that threw me off the most from the "wasteland" image was the amount of tables and desks in buildings.. yeah, i have a small desk with two chairs right in front of my door...
The story, if you can call it that, was a disaster. Virtue signalling and pandering to agendas made this utterly unpalatable on every level.
"spoiler rich experience"
LOL 🤣
I thought they took a lot of ''inspiration'' from the (Rise of the) Tomb Raider. From enemies calling out to each other, to enemies alerting each other to where you are, the stealth killings, the survival instinct mechanic that Lara has, the smooth transition of moving through tight spaces, the bow and crafting of different arrows on the go....even the black UI is similar. If I didn't know better, I'd have said they nearly copied many aspects.
survival instinct was in last of us 1 too. so was the name calling, once.
One thing that isn't mentioned here is the game's weird ageism. Like any character over the age of 30 will get shunned, marginalised and outright killed. The game comes off as a teen drama with gory murder. Which makes no sense because if the current pandemic has taught us anything, it's that teenagers are useless in a crisis. No way it would be mostly dumb teens surviving a zombie apocalypse.
Old people don't know anything. Duh.
Are you a boomer by any chance? How the fuck are teenagers the ones being dumb in the pandemic. If anything it's Trump and the boomer politicians that are useless.
@@nathanielyee9203 no need to attempt to shoehorn real-world politics into this.
Surely there are, literally, several hundreds of thousands of other TH-cam videos that would be a more appropriate place to express your perceived unhappiness?
@@hikeskool What about you and your beloved politics. You people complain about every game being leftist propaganda while listening to raving demagogues on TH-cam.
@@nathanielyee9203 who is "you people?"
Imagine having your name tied to this game as someone who worked hard, kept his (or her; I'm not sexist) head down, and did his best only to see it come out this way.

Great work, as always. Cheers.
Thank you Hikeskool
i'm sure a lot of people are quite proud to have worked on this game
@@jamesliggins891 I am too! Just too bad their efforts were subverted by such a hamfisted narrative.
If you're anyone but writer you can be proud.
Also you can put "work for food, able to crunch for months" into your CV )))
@@adrianalexandrov7730 gotta admit, I chuckled at that one. Sad, but true!
The game feels more like the third part in a trilogy instead of a part 2. Naughty Dog would’ve struck gold if they had made the sequel based around the five year gap of 2033-38. Would’ve helped build Joel and Ellie’s relationship and the struggles that it could’ve experienced whilst building upon the preexisting lore of the world.
They had all the potential to make an excellent sequel and there are inklings of this potential throughout. But the story, characterisation, pacing and structure held it down so much.
I don’t think I’ve been more disappointed by a game release.
So you wanted Ellie to accept Joel's lie and never question what happened in Utah? I see that some people just wanted Last of Us part 1 again with part 2; they wanted Ellie to be 14 again and going across country with Joel *again*; which other games and movies do that, but I love that they resisted it. Sorry, but not every sequel is going to more of the exact same thing.
Always Wrong Film That isn’t what I’m saying at all. I meant focus the game on Ellie and Joel, with the player experiencing the highs and lows of their developing father and daughter relationship as they grow up. I think having Joel and Ellie crossing the country again would be ridiculous and I don’t know where you got that from. I also never said that Ellie should accept that Joel’s lie was truth, as cited when I said ‘and the struggles that it could’ve experienced.’
Moreover, the whole point of my comment was for my to suggest that the Last of Us 2 would have been better as the Last of Us 3. By doing that, the player has seen the highs and lows of Joel and Ellie’s relationship with it ending on a sour note, making Joel’s death in part 3 more emotional and established. Or better yet, the developers could have killed two birds with one stone by cutting down some of Abby’s filler sections of the game with more character building for Joel and Ellie.
For all we know, Naughty Dog may revert back and their next game could actually focus on what I mentioned although that’s up to speculation.
@@matthewbarratt6929 But we did experience their relationship; through flashbacks. It would be ridiculous to dedicate an entire game to a narrative arc we can already see coming. Nothing new would be discovered if part 2 was made they way you (and others) wanted. It wouldn't be compelling. It would be boring.
@@SuperSaiyan3985 Again, it sounds like you people just wanted The Last of Us Part 1 again. You want Ellie to be a 14/15 still and want Joel as the main character again. And many other games do do that. Other companies will give you the same game again in their sequel(s), but ND didn't and instead decided to produce something much more creative and challenging. Art is all about taking risks and that's exactly what they did.
@@SuperSaiyan3985 They did explore the ups and downs through the flashbacks. Clearly the creators didn't think a plot centered around dramatic irony (that's where the audience knows more than the main character) was compelling enough for an entire game. Tell me exactly what were the liberal propaganda aspects of the game? Because if you think it's simply representation: a trans character existing; then you've got some serious fucking problems. But go ahead point out the propaganda.
Fucking hell mate. I like the way you lulled the fanboys in at the beginning saying it was a balanced review, then spent 80mins tearing it to shreds.

He said there were no microtransactions :D
This my be the PlayStation brand killer this game is a big middle finger to fans a lot of those fans may go over to Xbox series x and skip PlayStation 5 just because Neale trauman and the SJW karens they might have just gave microsoft the upper hand because of the last of us 2 fiasco that's what happens when you pander to the SJW karens this will bite sony in the ass
Not every person that doesn't like the game doesnt get it or is some bigot, racist, or transphob lol..
Honest legit score SPOILERS ::
6 or 7 / 10
At best.. and that's only because the visuals, music, and voice acting were all great.. gameplay was basically same as first game.. story was hit and miss..
Great flashback and guitar scenes.. museum scene was one of the best scenes of either game.. but the whole game should have been more of that.. more Joel and ellie.. that's why people bought the game.. even though we all expected him to die.. just not that early (get to that later).. they bought it for that relationship..
But honestly here's the negative.. I just could not care about Abby and her friends.. we don't know them.. we didn't spend an entire game with them..
Everybody wants to say there is no right or wrong side.. get out of here with that.. I know Ellie.. I spent an entire game with her already.. she's the one I care about.. Ellies side IS the good side.. and everyone against her is a bad guy.. plain and simple.. no backstory or amount of gameplay with the enemy is going to make me like them after they kill a member of my family..
That's crossing the line that you never come back from.. once she took out Joel, any chance for sympathy or care for her or any of her friends went out the window.. at that point it's screw her, her family, her friends, the wlf, her past, her motivations, her reasonings, her surgeon dad, the vaccine, everybody she's ever known lol..
I don't care that he died.. or even really how he died.. I don't like how he died and would have liked to see him go out better, but I get it.. I also get her reasoning.. but I just really don't like where they did it.. If they had done it am near the end or somethin.. after getting to know Abby first and not before.. maybe it would have had a better effect when it actually happened because we would all have already liked her..
The reason people loved the first game, was because even though Joel wasn't necessarily a great guy, he still was realistic in the sense we would all do the same for our daughter..
I'm sorry but this wasn't realistic. In that world, letting Abby go is just stupid.. If it were a real situation in a zombie apocalypse like that, we would all have taken her out.. may be not let her down off the pole just to have a big drag out fight.. but at least left her on the pole...
As Batman said, "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you."
But no.. Abby gets to ride off into the sunset to live happily ever after as we cry on the ground lol..
I'm sorry but bad writing is bad writing.. every person is hero of their own story, two sides to every coin, revenge is am endless cycle, hate consumes you, learn to forgive.. blah blah blah.. I get it.. it's not that complex of a message.. in fact it's a little overdone.. but just because you understand the message doesn't make it the right story decision..
But if Abby had died at the end, people would love the game 10x more.. would that be predictable to some? Maybe.. but predictable isn't always bad.. sometimes it just means that's where people want to see it go..
Idk.. I just think there were some big swing and misses on this.. like all they care about was making somethin people would talk about.. not making the best and most fun and enjoyable experience..
Seemed like a lot of shock value just for sale of shock value..
But this is just my opinion.. 😊
I was considering this game again this morning, and I've come to the conclusion that TLOU2 is actually abusive.
This game is abusive?!!😂😂😂😂 Oh look at me I'm a poor working class white man being oppressed!😂😂😂 Fuck off!

@Greed1914 There is a 2013 article from Empire where Bruce mentioned using revenge as a plot for an apocalypse story can not work when Neil Druckmann wanted Tess to be the antagonist and tracks down Joel to torture him, prompting Ellie to kill Tess. Neil also wanted Elena to be killed in Uncharted 2 according to his Reddit AMA, but Bruce was against the idea. I am certain Straley is the one we should thank for protecting those characters.
RareEnigma™ she did die tho from what I remember and was brought back to life. My memory is vague. Haven't played it since it first came out on the PS3.
@@jakedizzle She did, but what I meant that Neil originally wanted Tess to be the antagonist chasing Ellie and Joel while torturing Joel toward the end of the game according to the article. I am relieved Bruce preferred to change the ending and have Tess not harm Joel
@Greed1914 there's a clip going around(i think it might be a tlou1 development doc) where straley explains that revenge is a stupid motivation that it isn't enough to drive a plot forward, that and tlou1s first draft had tess hunting down joel and ellie for revenge kinda tells me druckmann had this revenge thing in mind for the first game as well. Thank god straley was there

this review though 10/10 fingers!! @1:17:16 damn, well said!
"The last of us 2 has somehow manage to take all of these exact same components and turn it into a boring, unsatisfying, unfulfilling, and annoying experience. it has also made some gamers less sympathetic towards gay and trans characters in video games. this game is not just a shit game but it does shitty things. in my opinion, its fueled bigotry and gamers will get the blame for neil druckmans trolling, and therein is the point. this game just like anita sarkeesian is a giant troll. it was a good franchise with well-loved characters. then cuckman gets a hateful and unsympathetic hormone abuser to kill one of them. mutilate the other and get her self buggered by a rando and then when gamers complain that it is all fucking stupid. we will all get accused of bigotry and we paid for the privilege. in a moment of madness, however. a subversive thought crossed my mind. there is a completely different way to interpret the story. Joel is representative of traditional values. Ellie represents the generation that embraces sexual tolerance and sexual equality. Abby represents and embodies the current wave of ultra-progressive hateful, angry identity politics, and vicious hypocritical rhetoric. You could actually read the story of the last of us 2 as an allegory about our current political climate. Traditional and modern social philosophies of tolerance and equality can exist together quite happily like Joel and Ellie. Until some spiteful half mental gender non conforming third-wave feminist proto-fascist comes along and fucking destroys everything we loved and cared about out of a perverted sense of justice."

Assassin's Creed 3 beginning was a good subverting of expectations, but this is just a slap in the face, false advertising, also is boring do you like golf?

I agree with like 90% of what you say about this. If anything my thoughts on this game are a little harsher in some spots. (I didn't like Dina. She's kind of toxic.) I also felt like the gameplay, despite it's few improvements, was actually a step back. The dodge mechanic just makes the combat feel wonky, and it was just slightly more frustrating at some points. (They also really went a little too happy with jump scares.)

I’ll never forgive them for forcing us to play as Abby for so long just for this bullshit ending. Can’t decide what was a bigger let down, this or the final season of Game of Thrones.
This game started a new life/game rule for me. I no longer prepurchase games and I wait till they get reviews, if the games have any wokeness in them at all I then decide if they are worth buying used. It's worth noting a used game gives the makers/ publishers zero extra dollars. And if you make a game I really want I buy it new even if their is an older less expensive copy.this is the only way I feel I can have any input on an industry that I was once very fond of.

I think every person in this world is completely tired of being attacked when criticizing something that Happens to have a controversial theme or Is minority related or of a religious theme.
Why did Neil druckman think that us fans would enjoy having everything we loved torn down and shit on?
All because of a LGBT trans agenda that he and Anita wanted to push.
I have no problem with people loving someone of the same sex and I have no problem with someone who identifies as the opposite sex what I do have a problem with is people blatantly trying to shove it down my throat and claiming I am some sort of a bigot or piece of shit because I don't like something that involves that subject matter. All you people need to grow up and understand that just because a certain theme that you like is involved with something doesn't make it automatically acceptable or good or everybody should like it.Get off of the bullshit that people are homophobic because they don't like a game or they don't like a movie that is shit.
You must be that desperate to have your adgenda pushed to not be honest enough to look at what Neil did to ALL of the characters we liked/loved to push a narrative in the shittiest way possible.
Possibly be pissed that his SHIT writing and disrespect for Ellie and Joel is being pushed off as a excuse to play the "acceptance" card.

Your rant about Sony's double standard reminded how insane the whole thing is to begin with. I swear if Sony keeps up their big brother censorship non-sense I'll never buy one of their consoles again.... I'm not saying I need pron in my games, but Sony is supposed to be a "serious console" and yet Nintendo Switch has more adult oriented games. The literal console marketed exclusively to children isn't as uptight as Sony. Oh well, if the next gen consoles end up costing as much as it seems like they will I'll probably just finally get around to investing in a gaming PC, cause I owned an Xbox before, and I ain't goin back to that shit.
Agreed. I think LoU2 will push a lot of people over to Xbox. Personally I dont watch porn on my console or my phone, but Im dammed if Im buying a device that blocks it.

"Exclusively to children". The one with third-party titles like Doom, Dark Souls, The Witcher 3, and Darkest Dungeon. Uh huh.
Lol he's the hero we all need. Awesome find 😂😂😂
I think we can safely conclude...
...that it is a masterpiece.
A masterpiece....
..of shit.
ND deserves a No Bell Prize~
I really hate the time we live in now. publishers making shit games and being protected for it, while gamers are being censored and ridiculed for having an honest opinion
