Bro I feel like a bitch I literally started bawling when he played it here cause I knew what was gonna happen unfortunately. I’m really upset this game got leaked and everyone is hating on it for no reason.
@@sandgaming5148 I'm not gonna lie this is better than the first game and will go down as one of the best games of all time and maybe even the best currently people are nit picking and everything but you can't ruin this game it's literally perfect it deserves game of the decade year everything it's such a masterpiece and so beautiful
I see it as this. Ellie is the only person to find herself again, by the act of forgiving and letting go (therefore the flashback). Ellie accepts what happens and forgives both Joel and Abby. This is also symbolically shown by Ellie not being able to play the “i’d surely lose myself” part anymore. Ellie is the only one that is able to save herself and move on
@@itsmrdaan5921 She forgave Abby, but at what cost? As far as we can tell she lost not only lost her fingers, but the ability to play the guitar and therefore her connection to Joel. She also lost (from what we can tell) Dina and JJ. I felt that the whole theme of the game was "loss". Some of the flashbacks of Ellie and Joel; Abby and her Dad were harking back to a time of innocence. When they lost their loved ones that innocence is lost. OMG as I further process this game it just gets that much more complicated.
I only see a sad old man trying to spend time with his "daughter"... I feel so sorry for Joel. After all the shit he'd been thru, he just wanted to be with Ellie and live a peacefull life...
The worst part about it is that Joel had no choice...the Fireflies would never have let Ellie be woken up to choose. And Joel would’ve killed them all as revenge for killing Ellie. Then, Ellie gets mad because Joel loved her so much, he literally sacrificed the world for her. And for some reason, we’re supposed to care about some random character because she lost a person who forced Joel to kill them in order to escape...OK
Lily Anderson that’s a good analysis and a fair point. But If you were in abbys shoes would you do any different? You don’t have to like the character but you should empathise with her struggle. Lord knows if someone killed my dad, I would do exactly what Abby did, fuck them up. Joel was a good character and it’s sad to see him go out like that but his actions caught up with him 🤷🏾♂️
Lily Anderson and in regards to ellie being pissed at Joel, I would be too but that’s just me 😂. At the end of the day these characters are not ours we just get to experience their journey and it seems like that journey is not for everyone so if you don’t like it.... it is what it is.
KingGDB it’s funny because Abby’s dad would’ve done the exact same thing were he in Joel’s shoes. He couldn’t answer when Marlene asked him if he’d do the procedure if it was Abby that was immune.
KingGDB well no because these behaviours do not reflect anything of their lastofus1 personalities. they made the dumbest decisions which lead to ultimately poor outcomes, when they’re characters are meant to be super cautious and smart. Just completely nonsensical moments as well, I could go on.
greenapplepear what I was thinking with this song that Joel would lose himself without her and she would lose herself in the game with him gone as well 😭 game tore my heart out. But I loved every second of it and the message it gave
@greenapplepear she lost herself in a literal sense too. And I think she realizes that idea when she tries but fails to play this song at the very end. This game has great layers. While I think the first game is just a bit tighter, I think I enjoy the themes and overall message of this game a tiny bit more.
@greenapplepear exactly. I get why people think that the ending a bit weird but that's the best part of the game... especially when you understand this lyrics and tie them to the ending.
@@fleafighters i hope the ending is her going to search for Dina, not sentencing herself to a life of solitude. That'd be too depressing for me to take.
It seems that way originally but I get it. It just means that there's someone whose life he truly values more than his own. When my Ellie was born 9 years ago and I held her the first time it felt like an electrical current ran through me and from that split second I understood. Although it seems sad it's nice that it happens in life.
I love how Joel never said "i love you" to Ellie but with performing this song (wich must have been hard for him) he kinda does and she sees it like that as well.
@Kyle Castoe I still would've preferred to see a scene where Joel or Ellie say "I love you." It wouldn't have to be direct. Like maybe they could've been sitting at a campfire and one of them falls asleep. Then whoever is awake says "I love you ____."
I think this is really important. People say things like “Ellie shoulda called him dad, they should’ve had Abby feel bad for killing Joel, Joel shoulda called Ellie his daughter and said he loved her” but they don’t realize these things are still conveyed just not directly. Just cause media doesn’t spell something out it doesn’t mean it’s flat out not there.
This takes me back to the first game when Joel said when he was a kid he wanted to be a singer and we finally get to hear him sing! Wow! I never thought I would get this many likes, thank you all so much, my friends!
I love that Joel isn't afraid to show a more sensitive side of himself, that he doesn't try to seem big and tough all the time. I wish my dad was more like that. My dad and I have never really had a "heart to heart" like this. This video is just so wholesome and cute. May we all have a part of Joel in our hearts'.
I wanted to show my sensitive side to my ex girlfriend before we broke up I wanted to sing this to her during Valentine’s Day but never did because we broke up
I think I might actually need therapy. Like I'm not even joking. This game really fucked me up and as someone who has suffered from trauma, Ellie's story was just so personal to me. That scene with her in the barn broke me. That's what it's really like. This may be the most misunderstood work of art in gaming to date. I'm really unsurprised all these gamer bros hate it. They all ultimately just want gamey games and not true art that pushes the medium forward.
@@TheOutsider69 As a long time fan of Naughty Dogs' works, this game was, unfortunately, an utter disappointment for me if I am being honest. The narrative felt completely bland and rushed (7 years btw...) and somehow the story seemed to be all over the place. I only ever felt joy when moments such as flashbacks of Joel and Ellie popped up. The other characters such as Dina, Jesse, Abby, Owen, etc were written quite poorly and barely had an impact on the story, they just had no weight. The only characters that I ever felt were even remotely interesting were Yara and Lev. Overall, the game is not a horrible game, it definitely had its moments. The scenery that this game offers is just spectacular and the music is nostalgic. Let me also mention this [ SPOILER ]; as much as I love Joel, the decision to have him die is fine by me, but, what pissed me off was how it was executed; completely disrespecting and ignoring his character that was built up from the previous LOU; they simply dismantled his arc. Although this is merely my own personal take on the game, if you see it in a different light then that is fine!
@@TheOutsider69 Supremely misunderstood. There's a lot of things missed in that the game is making you look inward. I still wonder what it would be like if no leaks. Ah I wish they released on time February or April.
@@TheCaliforniaHP I avoided all leaks, all spoilers, and even refused to discuss anything with my friends because I knew their opinions would be heavily biased by leaks. I simply waited until I could play the game myself and sadly, it was not the story anyone expected. I'm going to mention this again, this is just my personal opinion on the game; the narrative was completely off the radar, characters were cut off from any development and you'd just forget they ever existed after they died, that's how poorly written they were. But I digress. What are your thoughts? (Also, I'd like to hear some positive comments about the game from your perspective? That would be interesting).
She found herself at the end tho, that decision of not killing abby, she finally forgave joel for not letting her die and at the end you could see her leave joel's guitar in her old room with all her stuff she finally chose to live for joel. I just hope dina and tommy would forgive her cuz I don't want ellie to be alone :(( that's literally her biggest fear
What makes this more emotional is the fact that Ellie was begging Joel throughout the 1st game to sing to her but he kept refusing, now he finally does
Yeah at the university part. They were talking about their dreams. Ellie wanted to be an astronaut and joel wanted to be a singer. Ellie begs joel to sing something for her but joel said later.
In a sense it gave Joel the closure he needed. At least he died knowing Ellie was going to forgive him eventually. In that grim world, getting closure like that and spending 4 years with your loved ones is more than a gift.
The Last of Us: Ellie: "I swear to god, I get you out of this, you´re so singing for me" The last of Us P2: Joel: *Takes guitar*, "If i ever were to lose you, I´d surely lose myself....." I´m not crying... YOU ARE!
She saw it the whole time. After their fight at the ranch in Jackson (first game), they knew they were bonded. What Joel did in Utah still wounded the efff outta her, though.
Joel's death actually is making me have nightmares now and the past weeks until now, it just feels like I have lost somebody so important and close to me. The Last of Us was the first game I have ever played in my life and Joel just felt like he was my family. After all those years I have admired Joel for being the most badass character and the dad of the year, it just feels so dumb and depressing that a character like Joel just dies. It actually makes my heart break and everytime I hear his name or something related to the last of us, it makes me incredibly sad. I just wanna say Joel is a legend and he will be no matter what, my favorite character in the gaming history for eternity. Rip Joel Miller
Wow, well I'm happy that you got to experience it fully without the idiocy surrounding it... hopefully? At the end of the day he's a fictional character but it takes a special bit of media to make you really feel that loss, but you can't let it effect your life like that dude - honestly Part 2 itself feels like it takes you through the grieving process, or it did for me - the story definitely impacted my mood for a good few days but not to the extent of having nightmares. Joel dying the way he did is very in keeping with the bleak and horrible world he and everyone else has come to live in though, put the enemies he's made along the way on top of his actions in the first game and well, you'd have to almost go out of your way to expect things to go well for him and frankly speaking he was quite lucky, it was only four years spent in Jackson but a decent chunk of that with Ellie on good terms with him and him living in general peace, I'd say it was probably his happiest/safest years since before the outbreak so I mean there is that - he didn't die a coward, his character wasn't disgraced and he'd had the best possible time leading up to his death, the cherry on top being his and Ellie's last conversation which personally makes me feel like he could accept his death a lot easier, he even saw that she came for him when he was in trouble all but confirming her words the day before, he was sent off in a brutal fashion but also with closure, something he was incredibly lucky to receive. Personally speaking I'm channeling a lot of my love for this game into learning Future Days, I already play guitar thankfully so it's not taking long at all to get better but many others have also either started to learn the songs in the game and or just pick up guitar generally, I honestly recommend something like this for you, find some way you can creatively output your feelings for the characters and the game but try not to wallow in that feeling, even if it were a real person who had died it shouldn't stop you living your life normally, you just have to do what you gotta do to grieve and then get back up again.
@Emunah • YHWH's Creation well can you really blame them? naturally some people get more attached than others even in the process of learning a perspective
"You keep finding something to fight for" - these are Joel's words. So, mate, never forget about what you are fighting for and If you lost it, then keep finding... Joel would like you to. Carry on.
@Emunah • YHWH's Creation Creating a character for people to get attached to is kind of the point though. People of sound mind know that they're not real, obviously, but you have to suspend your disbelief to an extent to immerse yourself in the story, to see the characters as people. Why else would people cry at sad stories or feel any other emotion
Trauma bonds people in such a permanent way. He didn't want anything to do with her in the beginning then he risked the world for her...And i'll find out in a few hours, but I think he's going to die. :(
Spoiler! They both lost their self's. Joel lost himself when ellie discovered the truth about the cure and what Joel did to the fireflies and then didn't forgive him and talked to him. and ellie lost herself when she realized that after Joel died she didn't have enough time to restore her relationship with him before his death . This story is really sad and I'm so pissed noughty dog did us,the fans of the series dirty like that . they had 7 years to make a new story and that is what they've gone with. I expect Neil to make a dlc that would do right by the fans , so disappointed.
I see it as this. Ellie is the only person to find herself again, by the act of forgiving and letting go (therefore the flashback). Ellie accepts what happens and forgives both Joel and Abby. This is also symbolically shown by Ellie not being able to play the “i’d surely lose myself” part anymore. Ellie is the only one that is able to save herself and move on.
Tomer Yohai idk how you got that second interpretation, the game makes it pretty clear that Ellie forgives Joel at the end. And idk why you were expecting their relationship to be perfect after what Joel did, he robbed her of her life meaning something and then lied to her about it. Of course she’d be angry when she found out the full truth
ItsMrDaan I think that Abby serves as a symbolic parallel for Joel, and Ellie had to learn to forgive Abby in order to fully forgive Joel for how he wronged her. She chose love over hate, and in the end she loved Joel and knew he loved her, even if he’d slipped up
Andrew Hiner that’s exactly what i thought too. Hate only builds on hate and brings destruction. Only by letting go can one move on. Only now can she finally forgive Joel. I think it’s beautiful.
They said this game was going to be dark and grim. Just didn't realize how dark until finishing up the story. Man if they make a 3rd, let's hope for a semi happy ending like the 1st game's was.
You know what’s sad, Ellie doesn’t forgive Joel until the very end of the game, thats when she finally understands why he did what he did, and that she would also do the same for him, not until he’s dead does she truly realize just how much she loved him and that she would have done anything for him, even if it meant dooming the entire world in the process...that’s why she breaks down when letting Abby go, because the whole thing runs much deeper than Abby, the thought that she never got to tell Joel she forgives him, that she loves him...that he never knew, that knowledge is what has its hooks in her throughout the entire game, and she thinks killing Abby is the only way to make it right, not until she has Abby at her mercy does she realize that killing her won’t fix anything.
Killing Abby wouldn’t have brought Joel back, and I think that’s something Abby learned after killing Joel in vengeance for her father, it still didn’t bring him back. The dissatisfaction was all on her face, and then for Abby to lose everyone she cared and loved for.....Ellie and Abby were more the same than different, they shared a similar pain.
@@deez6102 yes, I told her about Ellie and Tommy and the Jackson community too, she said to me that she sees Ellie like sister and would be good friends with her
"Future Days" - Joel sings to Ellie LYRICS If I ever were to lose you I'd surely lose myself Everything I have found here I've not found by myself Try and sometimes you'll succeed To make this man of me All my stolen missing parts I've no need for anymore 'Cause I believe And I believe 'cause I can see Our future days Days of you and me Wonderful...
Really gotta commend Troy's ability to convey Joel's meekness in this performance. He could have easily sang the roof off, but Joel was clearly nervous to reconnect with Ellie AND to be that vulnerable. The anxiety in his singing voice broke me down.
"if I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself". This makes me cry. Joel always put his life to risk to save ellie coz he don't want to lose something precious to him again, like his daughter, but now he cannot protect ellie anymore rip JOEL I wish this was all a dream...😢
This series is the gold standard for storytelling. This is one of the few fictional universes where I feel the characters. I literally have cried at least 3 times while playing this game.
MasterGamer23 I loved the game so much. I feel people are just disappointed with it and I don’t understand. The character development is beautiful and amazing, and all the emotional bits and pieces are perfectly in place. Not to mention the ending looks worse than I think it is and people hate the ending for that. Ellie doesn’t get justice. Spoilers ahead. It looks like Ellie has lost everyone she loves, and because of her need for revenge lost the woman she loves. But if you look back to when she was in Santa Barbara, she doesn’t have the bracelet that Dina had given her. It isn’t even in her backpack. But then when she gets back to the farm, she’s wearing it. Also she has nothing in her backpack when she gets back, there’s no way she’d just leave her weapons and whatnot. And Dina loved her. Even if Dina didn’t want to be with her anymore because of her need for revenge, she still would have at least left a note. And Jesse’s parents did give them a note saying that they’re always welcome in Jackson. So I think that Ellie got back and her and Dina decided to start a life in Jackson together, and since it looks like Ellie’s fingers had at least a few months to heal, this seems to be her coming back to remember good times with Joel. And she left everything there to let it all go, let it be the past. If this theory of mine is correct, it’s a fantastic ending to the game with no loose ends. I hope it’s true. It makes sense with all the clues. One last clue I noticed is Ellie wasn’t wearing Joel’s jacket when she got back. There’s no way she’d ever get rid of it, so it’s stored somewhere right? Possibly in Jackson where she might’ve come from. I love this story so much, cried many many tears and had my heart both shattered and filled. Such good and realistic character developments and a great story.
SPOILERS**** When ellie sung this later in the game it hit me hard. I dont think ive evere felt emotional for a game like this before. Its heartbreaking..
We are Venom I would agree with that this game hit me pretty hard emotionally at points. It was very brutal and very sad. I didn’t sleep good at all last night because i was dreaming about it and how everything played out. Woke up every hour just to return to my emotional dreams over the game.
Idk if you know but he actually sings as well! He released an album several years back. He's very talented. He and Ashley Johnson could probably release a little EP of songs from the singing talent they showed in this game
I just love how they turned a love song to a song about parenting and then this was turned sad seeing how their future days were actually not that good, and even very short
Listening to this song after finishing the game just breaks my heart. Joel truly cared for Ellie's wellbeing, even after all his crimes because of a destroyed world, he's trying to become the father he was before Sarah's death. He's making all these efforts to have a normal life again and erase his past. It's rare that I get so emotionally attached to a character, Joel is more than a father for Ellie, he is a father for the player and we're learning to appreciate Ellie's character along with him... Unlike many people saying that his death was shit, for me his death was really sad and violent but also necessary, for a moment he wasn't anymore the hunter he was during all these years, he was the trapped prey and it shows us that he isn't anymore the "monster" of the 1st opus who could kill an entire group of men and never crumble or feel pity, he was a real human and his feelings for Ellie were genuine.
joseph west I couldn’t agree more. This game was like the first where I had so many moments of laughter, pain, hurt, and excitement! Even outright fear! I remember shaking so much and crying so much
People can say what they want about killing Joel off early but i love how this game portrays Joel and Ellies relationship. The flashbacks shows how much Ellie means to Joel and in Joels mind he made the right decision and Ellie is still willing to forgive him because she realises how much Joels loves her and she also loves him. It breaks my heart that they were gonna watch a movie together the night Joel dies. I think this game shows time and time again that in this world there are no villains or heroes, people do what they do because of love and survival. Joel kills the fireflies because of his love for Ellie, Abby kills Joel because she loved her father and Ellie wants revenge because she loves Joel but im glad that in the end she doesnt think its worth it.
Underrated comment. Also, the conflict between the Seraphites and the WLF's portrays this theme on a large scale. During the scars island mission, I was literally saying that these people need to take a break from killing each other, it's just so useless and tragic.
You've already put more thought into it that the screeching hoards who just think this game butchered everything they loved. Or that the game was a big FU from Neil and his team.
I think it was mainly the logic that led to it, and not so much the death as sad it was, Joel wouldn't tell strangers who he was where he lived and generally anything that would compromise his or anyone else's safety, fault of Neil deuckman desiring shock value and losing sight in many assumptions, nonetheless your not wrong for appreciating it whether it's right or wrong or illogical an such, if you enjoyed it that's more power to you, just hope the next one will make more sense for all our sakes 😁
I feel like Ellie meant a lot more to Joel than vice versa. Idk I just feel like maybe Joel saw her as his daughter whereas Ellie just saw Joel as a close friend.
Lică “bruh”what? This is a beautiful game and I’d do the same honestly. It’s the same as naming your kid after someone in the real world, only better in my opinion.
1:16 The way she looks at him is so touching. It's as if she realises just how intimate an act this is for him, that he probably hasn't performed like this for anyone for a very, very long time, as well as the meaning of what he's singing
If I ever were to lose you I'd surely lose myself Everything I have found here I've not found by myself Try and sometimes you'll succeed To make this man of me All of my stolen missing parts I've no need for anymore Cause I believe And I believe 'cause I can see Our future days Days of you and me
“Ellie what are most of afraid of?” Ellie: “ending up alone” I swear playing this game sent chills over my body numerous times. When she replayed this song In the theatre it had me bawling. Such a connection between the both of them even though they’re not related, he was her father figure. Even through all the arguments he was always her number one.
i need to put this out there; this is one of the best stories i have ever experienced, i feel shattered, repulsive, tired, longing for some release, but in the end just as Ellie, i understand that the only path for revenge is forgiveness, she knew that killing abby wasn't going to give her peace, as we learned halfway through the game, when we saw that killing joel didn't give abby peace. i lament that people can´t get the brilliance of this script, i will never forget this game. The world, music and characters that accompany the story end up creating something memorable, it is not a perfect game, but it is a masterpiece that takes video games to a new level.
Joel’s love for Ellie is so strong that this really got to me. The game is flawless and I cried multiple times especially during Joel and Ellie’s sequences. Can’t wait to play it all again👏
Hearing Ellie sing the lines, "I'd surely lose myself." she lost Joel and then she lost herself and went down a road of destruction that only led to more pain and watching her try to play at the end I was just like :( the entire time
Kinda similar to what going on with me my ex girlfriend was the reason I was suicidal before because we broke up and some else that’s personal happened so in a way I want revenge on her and her entire friends you know I lost myself but I don’t care I want my revenge
@@shadowfuture1378 I'm really sorry to hear you're going through that. I was in a really abusive relationship and for a long time I was just angry and hurt and wanted revenge but I realized the mental toll it had on me was pain being revisited and I had to learn to let go and move on. I hope what you're going through doesn't lead to you feeling more pain cause I understand that feeling and it's not something I want anyone else to feel. I hope you're okay.
They wanted a realistic story, Joel is just a survivor, he can die in a shit way just like everyone else. The game show how things never go the way we want, and can always get worse, just like in real life, no matter the reasons behind every action, life isn't fair. Naughty Dog managed to make people feel ange, hate, and a feeling of revenge just like Ellie. Most people didnt like because there is no happy ending. Every time in the game u are anxious or sad, just like Ellie. I dont think the story is bad, is very good. Is just fucking sad :( Life just isn't fair and the game show that very well.
Lucas Morais while your points make sense my issue with the story is that Joel’s death felt forced because he totally acted out of character. The previous game established that Joel is wary of strangers because he is a survivor; yet in this game we willingly tells Abby’s group his name and where he’s from. It’s lazy decisions like that which make his death feel rushed when it could’ve been more meaningful. In addition, I do agree with your point that this game was realistic, but my issue is that if life is so unfair and video games are an escape from that unfairness, it seems intruding to force that on me. Personally I don’t think the harsh realities of life and a good story are mutually exclusive-but I’m not saying this game needed a happy-go-lucky everything is great ending, just one with resolution and a sense of completion. The ending felt empty to the extent of which the entire story was meaningless and a bit preachy
This song Joel sung at the start & Ellie kept playing small parts of was actually genius. “If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself” is significant because Ellie lost Joel and throughout the game she slowly loses herself & everyone around her.
This was such a vulnerable but touching moment. You can really feel through this scene just how much Joel loves Ellie, and he didn't even have to say it. That's powerful within itself.
Ever since I played Part 2, I've been feeling an emotion I haven't felt in a long time, and I now know what it is. I'm feeling like shit because I feel like I just lost a loved one, someone very close to me. No character's death in videogames, TV, or movies I've felt as bad as Joel's. This series has truly changed my life, and it has for the better.
I didn’t realize initially that this was a Pearl Jam song... During gameplay in a music store I came across a Pearl Jam poster for their 2013 album and text my dad about it with a screenshot because Pearl Jam is his #1 favorite band. My dad’s 50th birthday is in a week and I can’t go see him because of coronavirus. Then I come to find out this song to Ellie is a Pearl Jam song.... it hit me harder than it should’ve
That’s funny, I didn’t know either and my dad loves Pearl Jam. So when I found the music store I also sent a picture of the poster, ofc my dad already knew Pearl Jam was in it from PJ’s twitter😂. Edit: my dad was also going to see Pearl Jam and Covid :(
Pearl Jam is my favorite band and I was already crazy when I was playing and this part came, plus the lightning bolt post of their album and them being in Seattle, where PJ came from alongside the other grunge bands ❤❤❤❤
Thus is too beautiful but heartbreaking when you know the story. I love their relationship cause its one of the rawest I've seen in video games. Can't imagine how much Joel really treasures Ellie cause she really is like Sarah in ways. He can be friends with Ellie just like he was Sarah's. God i love the games
I lost my Dad around a month ago. I've never experienced a pain like this. My body does not feel like it did while he was here. A piece of me feels empty. My mind rejects that he is no longer here but I have to accept it. He is gone. Tell your people you love em. It all happened so fast. My Dad was a good man. Never take good people in your life for granted. I am grateful that he had 57 years on this Earth. God bless.
I have cried out every single tear I had listening to it the first time. And every time I think about it, I cry again. Here I am, playing it to my guitar, shedding tears, having those two in my mind. The emotions, the journey Joel and Ellie gave us are absolutely something I will have forever with me in my heart. Thanks for everything
I think the best thing, and what made the game so great, is that the characters feel real, we all loved Joel, but he wasn't a "hero", he was just a man, someone that we all connected with. But he, like everyone, had his flaws and thats what i think connected people even more, Joel wasn't this superhero to look up, just a man, a flawed man, trying his best for someone he cares about. If it wasn't for Ellie, Joel may have even turned out a villain, but their journey, and what a journey it was, was one of the most beautiful stories and one of the most tragic because it all felt so grounded in reality, these characters and their emotions were all something we have felt at some points in our lives. A true... masterpiece.
I never believed that the death of a fictional character would hurt so much
Me too 😭😭
Same! Whenever I get to see a video of Joel together with Ellie, I'd literally cry. That's how this game affects me
Arthur in RDR2, and Joel in TLOU Part II.. rough.

me neither, but here we are wiping our tears
I like how he looks down the whole time, too embarrassed to look at Ellie while he sings.
“That didn’t suck.”
Ill take what i can get
He's shying away
That’s how I always sing when playing guitar can’t look at people I just go red

He actually said something similar to this one more time:"If somehow the Lord gave me a second chance at that moment... I'd do it all over again."
If you look closely he tries to word something out to her in his last moments. I've seen a few people speculate that's what he was trying to say

I initially didn't cry but when Ellie found the guitar in the theatre and sung that song, I bawled my eyes out...
Bro I feel like a bitch I literally started bawling when he played it here cause I knew what was gonna happen unfortunately. I’m really upset this game got leaked and everyone is hating on it for no reason.
@@sandgaming5148 I'm not gonna lie this is better than the first game and will go down as one of the best games of all time and maybe even the best currently people are nit picking and everything but you can't ruin this game it's literally perfect it deserves game of the decade year everything it's such a masterpiece and so beautiful
KingOfBruh _ i’m glad you feel that way man cause i agree :( people will just nit pick for no reason but it’s honestly so fucking beautiful
mayakb there’s actually more than one reason why this game went downhill
Tbh most people have a very reasonable reason to hate the story and outcome of this game lul
"What are you most afraid of?"
"Being alone.. I'm afraid of ending up alone."
Spoiler: she ends up alone :’(
No, She didn't.
She went to jackson With Dina.
But Dina left her. And we don’t see them together
She wears dina's bracelet when she went back to farm which she didn't wear it when she was hunting for abby at santa barbara.
*Elllie really did lose herself when she lost joel*
it’s called shared love. Feel terrible after the ending...
I see it as this. Ellie is the only person to find herself again, by the act of forgiving and letting go (therefore the flashback). Ellie accepts what happens and forgives both Joel and Abby. This is also symbolically shown by Ellie not being able to play the “i’d surely lose myself” part anymore. Ellie is the only one that is able to save herself and move on
ItsMrDaan lmao someone actually defending the ending embarrassing
@@yousiiatts5888 lmao Someone doesnt understand the ending, pathetic
@@itsmrdaan5921 She forgave Abby, but at what cost? As far as we can tell she lost not only lost her fingers, but the ability to play the guitar and therefore her connection to Joel. She also lost (from what we can tell) Dina and JJ. I felt that the whole theme of the game was "loss". Some of the flashbacks of Ellie and Joel; Abby and her Dad were harking back to a time of innocence. When they lost their loved ones that innocence is lost. OMG as I further process this game it just gets that much more complicated.
I only see a sad old man trying to spend time with his "daughter"... I feel so sorry for Joel. After all the shit he'd been thru, he just wanted to be with Ellie and live a peacefull life...
The worst part about it is that Joel had no choice...the Fireflies would never have let Ellie be woken up to choose. And Joel would’ve killed them all as revenge for killing Ellie. Then, Ellie gets mad because Joel loved her so much, he literally sacrificed the world for her. And for some reason, we’re supposed to care about some random character because she lost a person who forced Joel to kill them in order to escape...OK
Lily Anderson that’s a good analysis and a fair point. But If you were in abbys shoes would you do any different? You don’t have to like the character but you should empathise with her struggle. Lord knows if someone killed my dad, I would do exactly what Abby did, fuck them up. Joel was a good character and it’s sad to see him go out like that but his actions caught up with him 🤷🏾♂️
Lily Anderson and in regards to ellie being pissed at Joel, I would be too but that’s just me 😂. At the end of the day these characters are not ours we just get to experience their journey and it seems like that journey is not for everyone so if you don’t like it.... it is what it is.
KingGDB it’s funny because Abby’s dad would’ve done the exact same thing were he in Joel’s shoes. He couldn’t answer when Marlene asked him if he’d do the procedure if it was Abby that was immune.
KingGDB well no because these behaviours do not reflect anything of their lastofus1 personalities. they made the dumbest decisions which lead to ultimately poor outcomes, when they’re characters are meant to be super cautious and smart. Just completely nonsensical moments as well, I could go on.
(Spoilers) Man... when Ellie can’t play this song at the end of the game because of her missing fingers I nearly cried. Saddest part of the ending.
Yea dude :(
☹️☹️☹️😭
She needs to find a left handed guitar.
I read ''spoilers'' and i kept reading..fuck i hate myself for that
@@Eduarest lol why XD
"I'd surely lose myself."
So much meaning for the both of them in the 1st game and this.
greenapplepear what I was thinking with this song that Joel would lose himself without her and she would lose herself in the game with him gone as well 😭 game tore my heart out. But I loved every second of it and the message it gave
Also the lyrics to "Take On Me" later on
@greenapplepear she lost herself in a literal sense too. And I think she realizes that idea when she tries but fails to play this song at the very end. This game has great layers. While I think the first game is just a bit tighter, I think I enjoy the themes and overall message of this game a tiny bit more.
@greenapplepear exactly. I get why people think that the ending a bit weird but that's the best part of the game... especially when you understand this lyrics and tie them to the ending.
@@fleafighters i hope the ending is her going to search for Dina, not sentencing herself to a life of solitude. That'd be too depressing for me to take.
If I ever were to lose you, I'd surely lose myself.
how sad :(((((((
It seems that way originally but I get it. It just means that there's someone whose life he truly values more than his own. When my Ellie was born 9 years ago and I held her the first time it felt like an electrical current ran through me and from that split second I understood. Although it seems sad it's nice that it happens in life.
🤧
Joel’s world 🌎 is Ellie
Man this really hurt to watch knowing his fate
This is why Ellie lose herself. Because she has lost Joel.
I love how Joel never said "i love you" to Ellie but with performing this song (wich must have been hard for him) he kinda does and she sees it like that as well.
@Kyle Castoe I still would've preferred to see a scene where Joel or Ellie say "I love you."
It wouldn't have to be direct. Like maybe they could've been sitting at a campfire and one of them falls asleep. Then whoever is awake says "I love you ____."
Zahub Shahid somethings don’t need to be said
I think this is really important. People say things like “Ellie shoulda called him dad, they should’ve had Abby feel bad for killing Joel, Joel shoulda called Ellie his daughter and said he loved her” but they don’t realize these things are still conveyed just not directly. Just cause media doesn’t spell something out it doesn’t mean it’s flat out not there.

My favourite video game Character ever
Why do I have to see your comment. It made me so sad. Ugghhh
😳
I have no recollection of the moment Ellie said this...can someone remind me pls? 🙏🏻
I love that Joel isn't afraid to show a more sensitive side of himself, that he doesn't try to seem big and tough all the time. I wish my dad was more like that. My dad and I have never really had a "heart to heart" like this. This video is just so wholesome and cute. May we all have a part of Joel in our hearts'.
I get that, and i hope we do too, i hope you will find your joel one day.
I wanted to show my sensitive side to my ex girlfriend before we broke up I wanted to sing this to her during Valentine’s Day but never did because we broke up
As long as he loves you that's all that matters, sometimes it's hard for people to show emotions but it's the essence of them that matters.
Joel is like my father. My father sings all the time. I sadly am more shy and well autistic.
One of the most beautiful and depressing games i ever played.
I think I might actually need therapy. Like I'm not even joking. This game really fucked me up and as someone who has suffered from trauma, Ellie's story was just so personal to me. That scene with her in the barn broke me. That's what it's really like. This may be the most misunderstood work of art in gaming to date. I'm really unsurprised all these gamer bros hate it. They all ultimately just want gamey games and not true art that pushes the medium forward.
@@TheOutsider69 As a long time fan of Naughty Dogs' works, this game was, unfortunately, an utter disappointment for me if I am being honest. The narrative felt completely bland and rushed (7 years btw...) and somehow the story seemed to be all over the place. I only ever felt joy when moments such as flashbacks of Joel and Ellie popped up. The other characters such as Dina, Jesse, Abby, Owen, etc were written quite poorly and barely had an impact on the story, they just had no weight. The only characters that I ever felt were even remotely interesting were Yara and Lev. Overall, the game is not a horrible game, it definitely had its moments. The scenery that this game offers is just spectacular and the music is nostalgic. Let me also mention this [ SPOILER ]; as much as I love Joel, the decision to have him die is fine by me, but, what pissed me off was how it was executed; completely disrespecting and ignoring his character that was built up from the previous LOU; they simply dismantled his arc. Although this is merely my own personal take on the game, if you see it in a different light then that is fine!
@@TheOutsider69 Supremely misunderstood. There's a lot of things missed in that the game is making you look inward. I still wonder what it would be like if no leaks. Ah I wish they released on time February or April.
Yeah. It was pretty depressing..
@@TheCaliforniaHP I avoided all leaks, all spoilers, and even refused to discuss anything with my friends because I knew their opinions would be heavily biased by leaks. I simply waited until I could play the game myself and sadly, it was not the story anyone expected. I'm going to mention this again, this is just my personal opinion on the game; the narrative was completely off the radar, characters were cut off from any development and you'd just forget they ever existed after they died, that's how poorly written they were. But I digress. What are your thoughts? (Also, I'd like to hear some positive comments about the game from your perspective? That would be interesting).
This song is significant because Ellie lost herself avenging Joel, just as Joel did saving her
Wow.Thats a good point of view
underrated comment
I don't think Joel lost himself by saving her, but that he finally found himself again.
She didn't entirely lose herself. She stopped right before that. She saved the little good and humanity left in her.
She found herself at the end tho, that decision of not killing abby, she finally forgave joel for not letting her die and at the end you could see her leave joel's guitar in her old room with all her stuff she finally chose to live for joel. I just hope dina and tommy would forgive her cuz I don't want ellie to be alone :(( that's literally her biggest fear
"No matter what, you keep finding something to fight for." -Joel, Last of Us (one)
The best ever.
What makes this more emotional is the fact that Ellie was begging Joel throughout the 1st game to sing to her but he kept refusing, now he finally does
Yeah, that was why i cried the first time watching this (sorry for bad english)
Yeah at the university part. They were talking about their dreams. Ellie wanted to be an astronaut and joel wanted to be a singer. Ellie begs joel to sing something for her but joel said later.
The saddest part of his death was the night before. Ellie came over and she finally wants to make things right with Joel, slowly but surely.
I was crying so much when Joel was holding back tears saying "Yep" :(
@@darppy6985 Same 😭
Yeah she even mentions to Dina that her and Joel were going to watch a movie on the night of his death.
In a sense it gave Joel the closure he needed. At least he died knowing Ellie was going to forgive him eventually. In that grim world, getting closure like that and spending 4 years with your loved ones is more than a gift.
@@TheRealFAA The devastating thing about this he most likely never knew about this movie night...my heart...
The Last of Us:
Ellie: "I swear to god, I get you out of this, you´re so singing for me"
The last of Us P2:
Joel: *Takes guitar*, "If i ever were to lose you, I´d surely lose myself....."
I´m not crying... YOU ARE!
You are goddamn right
joel: "you wish"
I nearly cried watching this. He had so much love for her and she didn't see that until it was too late
They loved each other, that why ellie lost herself in the game, she lost the thing she truly loved. Its pretty sad
True
She saw it the whole time. After their fight at the ranch in Jackson (first game), they knew they were bonded. What Joel did in Utah still wounded the efff outta her, though.
I'm crying now. I miss him.
Only if there was a way to know the good ol' days before they are gone
" No matter how hard you try, I guess you can't escape your past " - Joel Miller
Joel's death actually is making me have nightmares now and the past weeks until now, it just feels like I have lost somebody so important and close to me. The Last of Us was the first game I have ever played in my life and Joel just felt like he was my family. After all those years I have admired Joel for being the most badass character and the dad of the year, it just feels so dumb and depressing that a character like Joel just dies. It actually makes my heart break and everytime I hear his name or something related to the last of us, it makes me incredibly sad. I just wanna say Joel is a legend and he will be no matter what, my favorite character in the gaming history for eternity.
Rip Joel Miller
Wow, well I'm happy that you got to experience it fully without the idiocy surrounding it... hopefully?
At the end of the day he's a fictional character but it takes a special bit of media to make you really feel that loss, but you can't let it effect your life like that dude - honestly Part 2 itself feels like it takes you through the grieving process, or it did for me - the story definitely impacted my mood for a good few days but not to the extent of having nightmares.
Joel dying the way he did is very in keeping with the bleak and horrible world he and everyone else has come to live in though, put the enemies he's made along the way on top of his actions in the first game and well, you'd have to almost go out of your way to expect things to go well for him and frankly speaking he was quite lucky, it was only four years spent in Jackson but a decent chunk of that with Ellie on good terms with him and him living in general peace, I'd say it was probably his happiest/safest years since before the outbreak so I mean there is that - he didn't die a coward, his character wasn't disgraced and he'd had the best possible time leading up to his death, the cherry on top being his and Ellie's last conversation which personally makes me feel like he could accept his death a lot easier, he even saw that she came for him when he was in trouble all but confirming her words the day before, he was sent off in a brutal fashion but also with closure, something he was incredibly lucky to receive.
Personally speaking I'm channeling a lot of my love for this game into learning Future Days, I already play guitar thankfully so it's not taking long at all to get better but many others have also either started to learn the songs in the game and or just pick up guitar generally, I honestly recommend something like this for you, find some way you can creatively output your feelings for the characters and the game but try not to wallow in that feeling, even if it were a real person who had died it shouldn't stop you living your life normally, you just have to do what you gotta do to grieve and then get back up again.
@Emunah • YHWH's Creation well can you really blame them? naturally some people get more attached than others even in the process of learning a perspective
"You keep finding something to fight for" - these are Joel's words. So, mate, never forget about what you are fighting for and If you lost it, then keep finding... Joel would like you to. Carry on.
@Emunah • YHWH's Creation Creating a character for people to get attached to is kind of the point though. People of sound mind know that they're not real, obviously, but you have to suspend your disbelief to an extent to immerse yourself in the story, to see the characters as people. Why else would people cry at sad stories or feel any other emotion
If thats the case then the game is even better then you think.
Best part of the whole game. Is this little part.
mother. you spoiled it.
So you’ve finished the game? Impressive considering it’d be impossible to do that yet.
@José Baidal ellies birthday and this song was the best part of the game
@Chris Jones i loved ellie's cover, and joel and ellie cutscenes, however, the game doesn't hold up too well and it's a 5/10 for me
Agreed.
Joel and Ellie’s bond is so good. Joel thinks of Ellie as his daughter because of losing Sarah and it’s really sad.
Trauma bonds people in such a permanent way. He didn't want anything to do with her in the beginning then he risked the world for her...And i'll find out in a few hours, but I think he's going to die. :(

Funny how Ellie was the one that lost herself when she lost Joel...
thats the point
Not funny
Its called foreshadowing
Funny how?
Ironic*
The irony how it turns out Ellie would be the one to lose herself. 😔
Spoiler!
They both lost their self's. Joel lost himself when ellie discovered the truth about the cure and what Joel did to the fireflies and then didn't forgive him and talked to him. and ellie lost herself when she realized that after Joel died she didn't have enough time to restore her relationship with him before his death . This story is really sad and I'm so pissed noughty dog did us,the fans of the series dirty like that . they had 7 years to make a new story and that is what they've gone with. I expect Neil to make a dlc that would do right by the fans , so disappointed.
I see it as this. Ellie is the only person to find herself again, by the act of forgiving and letting go (therefore the flashback). Ellie accepts what happens and forgives both Joel and Abby. This is also symbolically shown by Ellie not being able to play the “i’d surely lose myself” part anymore. Ellie is the only one that is able to save herself and move on.
Tomer Yohai idk how you got that second interpretation, the game makes it pretty clear that Ellie forgives Joel at the end. And idk why you were expecting their relationship to be perfect after what Joel did, he robbed her of her life meaning something and then lied to her about it. Of course she’d be angry when she found out the full truth
ItsMrDaan I think that Abby serves as a symbolic parallel for Joel, and Ellie had to learn to forgive Abby in order to fully forgive Joel for how he wronged her. She chose love over hate, and in the end she loved Joel and knew he loved her, even if he’d slipped up
Andrew Hiner that’s exactly what i thought too. Hate only builds on hate and brings destruction. Only by letting go can one move on. Only now can she finally forgive Joel. I think it’s beautiful.
Saddest thing about this song is because of his voice he loss everyone... And now ellie is the one who felt that now what a fucked up story :(
G L O O M Y F E E L S yeah this man deserved more truly one of the most tragic characters out there
Sorry what do you mean
Tevin Grouse for all he knew they killed Ellie and Tommy
@@joehenry9697 ellie was the last person he saw before he died remember? his eyes were open when she told him get up
They said this game was going to be dark and grim. Just didn't realize how dark until finishing up the story. Man if they make a 3rd, let's hope for a semi happy ending like the 1st game's was.
You know what’s sad, Ellie doesn’t forgive Joel until the very end of the game, thats when she finally understands why he did what he did, and that she would also do the same for him, not until he’s dead does she truly realize just how much she loved him and that she would have done anything for him, even if it meant dooming the entire world in the process...that’s why she breaks down when letting Abby go, because the whole thing runs much deeper than Abby, the thought that she never got to tell Joel she forgives him, that she loves him...that he never knew, that knowledge is what has its hooks in her throughout the entire game, and she thinks killing Abby is the only way to make it right, not until she has Abby at her mercy does she realize that killing her won’t fix anything.
I agree. If Ellie killed Abby should would have destroyed her ability to forgive herself
Killing Abby wouldn’t have brought Joel back, and I think that’s something Abby learned after killing Joel in vengeance for her father, it still didn’t bring him back. The dissatisfaction was all on her face, and then for Abby to lose everyone she cared and loved for.....Ellie and Abby were more the same than different, they shared a similar pain.
Ellie said she would like to try to forgive Joel, and by the end of the game she learned to forgive Joel.
Exactly Ellie actually did cared and loved Joel a lot like a father
Also, the whole game had just been a vicious cycle of revenge. Ellie decided to break that cycle when she let Abby live.

Really gotta commend Troy's ability to convey Joel's meekness in this performance. He could have easily sang the roof off, but Joel was clearly nervous to reconnect with Ellie AND to be that vulnerable. The anxiety in his singing voice broke me down.
I don't see any sense in writing "he could have sang the roof of"
obviously he doesn't because he's playing/singing in the role of joel
What I meant four years ago is that JOEL could have sang the roof off, but he didn't because he was nervous.

This series is the gold standard for storytelling. This is one of the few fictional universes where I feel the characters. I literally have cried at least 3 times while playing this game.
@@eiselda TLOU2s story is dogshit compared to the first game.
MasterGamer23 I loved the game so much. I feel people are just disappointed with it and I don’t understand. The character development is beautiful and amazing, and all the emotional bits and pieces are perfectly in place. Not to mention the ending looks worse than I think it is and people hate the ending for that. Ellie doesn’t get justice. Spoilers ahead. It looks like Ellie has lost everyone she loves, and because of her need for revenge lost the woman she loves. But if you look back to when she was in Santa Barbara, she doesn’t have the bracelet that Dina had given her. It isn’t even in her backpack. But then when she gets back to the farm, she’s wearing it. Also she has nothing in her backpack when she gets back, there’s no way she’d just leave her weapons and whatnot. And Dina loved her. Even if Dina didn’t want to be with her anymore because of her need for revenge, she still would have at least left a note. And Jesse’s parents did give them a note saying that they’re always welcome in Jackson. So I think that Ellie got back and her and Dina decided to start a life in Jackson together, and since it looks like Ellie’s fingers had at least a few months to heal, this seems to be her coming back to remember good times with Joel. And she left everything there to let it all go, let it be the past. If this theory of mine is correct, it’s a fantastic ending to the game with no loose ends. I hope it’s true. It makes sense with all the clues. One last clue I noticed is Ellie wasn’t wearing Joel’s jacket when she got back. There’s no way she’d ever get rid of it, so it’s stored somewhere right? Possibly in Jackson where she might’ve come from. I love this story so much, cried many many tears and had my heart both shattered and filled. Such good and realistic character developments and a great story.

@@anonvegeta if you are dumb enough to leave someone like joel then she is dead
Listening to this song after finishing the game just breaks my heart.
Joel truly cared for Ellie's wellbeing, even after all his crimes because of a destroyed world, he's trying to become the father he was before Sarah's death. He's making all these efforts to have a normal life again and erase his past.
It's rare that I get so emotionally attached to a character, Joel is more than a father for Ellie, he is a father for the player and we're learning to appreciate Ellie's character along with him...
Unlike many people saying that his death was shit, for me his death was really sad and violent but also necessary, for a moment he wasn't anymore the hunter he was during all these years, he was the trapped prey and it shows us that he isn't anymore the "monster" of the 1st opus who could kill an entire group of men and never crumble or feel pity, he was a real human and his feelings for Ellie were genuine.

same, I'm just 14 and I want to play this song to my kids
People can say what they want about killing Joel off early but i love how this game portrays Joel and Ellies relationship. The flashbacks shows how much Ellie means to Joel and in Joels mind he made the right decision and Ellie is still willing to forgive him because she realises how much Joels loves her and she also loves him. It breaks my heart that they were gonna watch a movie together the night Joel dies.
I think this game shows time and time again that in this world there are no villains or heroes, people do what they do because of love and survival. Joel kills the fireflies because of his love for Ellie, Abby kills Joel because she loved her father and Ellie wants revenge because she loves Joel but im glad that in the end she doesnt think its worth it.
Such a good comment. Couldn't agree more. :)
Underrated comment. Also, the conflict between the Seraphites and the WLF's portrays this theme on a large scale. During the scars island mission, I was literally saying that these people need to take a break from killing each other, it's just so useless and tragic.
You've already put more thought into it that the screeching hoards who just think this game butchered everything they loved. Or that the game was a big FU from Neil and his team.
I think it was mainly the logic that led to it, and not so much the death as sad it was, Joel wouldn't tell strangers who he was where he lived and generally anything that would compromise his or anyone else's safety, fault of Neil deuckman desiring shock value and losing sight in many assumptions, nonetheless your not wrong for appreciating it whether it's right or wrong or illogical an such, if you enjoyed it that's more power to you, just hope the next one will make more sense for all our sakes 😁
I feel like Ellie meant a lot more to Joel than vice versa.
Idk I just feel like maybe Joel saw her as his daughter whereas Ellie just saw Joel as a close friend.
Is like if Johnny Cash Made a cover of this song. What a great voice actor Troy is
This is not jhonny cash. Pearl jump- future days
Or tom waits
His point was Troy Baker is singing it as if it were Johnny Cash
@@leackimstudios4910 i know. I've been a Pearl Jam fan for 15 years. Im saying His voice reminded me of Johnny Cash
we all are here cause we are sad for a frictional character ... and yes it hurts a lot .... it will take years to recover
My heart is broken, i miss him so much. :'(
Amen
Why didn't he just respawn or have them wrap a piece of cloth around his arm to heal him😭😭😭
not even 20 minutes into the game and i was already crying my eyes out
very the last of us to make you cry in the first 20 minutes of gameplay
Named my daughter Ellie after this game. This moment hit me in the feels.
Bruh
Lică “bruh”what? This is a beautiful game and I’d do the same honestly. It’s the same as naming your kid after someone in the real world, only better in my opinion.
@@finnyspencer7624 ok..
Planning on naming my daughter Ellie too in honor of this game!
I’m thinking about getting a pitbull and naming her Ellie if I get a girl or Joel if its a boy ☺️
Ellie's thoughts: Awwwwwww 🥺❤
Ellie on the outside: That didn't suck...
Pride is a real bitch sometimes :c
Exactly. She was in love with Joel ❤️
Deep down she loved Joel like a father
@@i3eixi not like that lol
@@i3eixi FBI wants to know your location
1:16 The way she looks at him is so touching. It's as if she realises just how intimate an act this is for him, that he probably hasn't performed like this for anyone for a very, very long time, as well as the meaning of what he's singing
GODDAMMIT SOMEBODY IS CUTTING ONIONS, SOMEBODY HELP MY EYES HURT!!😭😭
I get you mate, suddenly, random ninja cutting onions appeared but they are really good at hiding
This part of the game is so wholesome, my mom and dad even cried.
I don’t know what I love more about this scene that Joel sings for her or the fact Joel was pearl jam fan 😂
Oh my god this is so sad. Last of us has set the gold standard for storytelling
Storyline keep slice your heart apart every second
Mohammad Kiaei you still have a heart?! Mine got ripped out of my chest by this game.
This brought tears to my eyes. The love he has for her. Like she is his daughter. Is heartbreaking.
This scene is a part of the Playstation history and videogames in general .I miss you joel!
I miss Joel so much 😭😭😭
To Sarah, for teaching me how to love...
and to Ellie, for reminding me how to.
I feel like the last time Joel played this song before this, he played it for Sarah
If I ever were to lose you
I'd surely lose myself
Everything I have found here
I've not found by myself
Try and sometimes you'll succeed
To make this man of me
All of my stolen missing parts
I've no need for anymore
Cause I believe
And I believe 'cause I can see
Our future days
Days of you and me
Thank you so much.
I'm learning the song to sing it to my niece 💓
Thank you 🥺❤️
1:18 = The look on Ellie's face nearly had me tearing up too
I knowww😭😭😭 looks like she's holding back tears😭😭😭
It's crazy how much a character in a game can make such a connection with so many people
“Ellie what are most of afraid of?”
Ellie: “ending up alone”
I swear playing this game sent chills over my body numerous times. When she replayed this song In the theatre it had me bawling. Such a connection between the both of them even though they’re not related, he was her father figure. Even through all the arguments he was always her number one.
i need to put this out there; this is one of the best stories i have ever experienced, i feel shattered, repulsive, tired, longing for some release, but in the end just as Ellie, i understand that the only path for revenge is forgiveness, she knew that killing abby wasn't going to give her peace, as we learned halfway through the game, when we saw that killing joel didn't give abby peace. i lament that people can´t get the brilliance of this script, i will never forget this game. The world, music and characters that accompany the story end up creating something memorable, it is not a perfect game, but it is a masterpiece that takes video games to a new level.
I agree 🌿
>It's not a perfect game, but it is a masterpiece
I understand how you feel, but this doesn't work like that.
Joel’s love for Ellie is so strong that this really got to me. The game is flawless and I cried multiple times especially during Joel and Ellie’s sequences. Can’t wait to play it all again👏
I love how shy he was about it, barely looking up when saying "there ya go."
This makes me love Joel even more
I'm completely heartbroken
F bro 😖😭
Hearing Ellie sing the lines, "I'd surely lose myself." she lost Joel and then she lost herself and went down a road of destruction that only led to more pain and watching her try to play at the end I was just like :( the entire time
Kinda similar to what going on with me my ex girlfriend was the reason I was suicidal before because we broke up and some else that’s personal happened so in a way I want revenge on her and her entire friends you know I lost myself but I don’t care I want my revenge
@@shadowfuture1378 I'm really sorry to hear you're going through that. I was in a really abusive relationship and for a long time I was just angry and hurt and wanted revenge but I realized the mental toll it had on me was pain being revisited and I had to learn to let go and move on. I hope what you're going through doesn't lead to you feeling more pain cause I understand that feeling and it's not something I want anyone else to feel. I hope you're okay.
Anyone else see at the end of the game, joel and ellie are talking. She walks away and you can see Joel’s eyes start to fill with tears.
The Last Of Us Part II is a “emotional roller coaster” masterpiece😭!
This made me cry like a baby 😭😭😭
F
same
The fact this song is by Pearl Jam, a band from Seattle, means so much more.
So pissed and sad. I really wanted them to sort things out in their relationship. To see Joel become a dad again even after losing his own daughter.
Just think that if the damn Abby hadn't shown up, Ellie and Joel would have watched a movie later that day how they planned
They wanted a realistic story, Joel is just a survivor, he can die in a shit way just like everyone else. The game show how things never go the way we want, and can always get worse, just like in real life, no matter the reasons behind every action, life isn't fair. Naughty Dog managed to make people feel ange, hate, and a feeling of revenge just like Ellie. Most people didnt like because there is no happy ending. Every time in the game u are anxious or sad, just like Ellie. I dont think the story is bad, is very good. Is just fucking sad :( Life just isn't fair and the game show that very well.
G omg ouch- please don’t hurt my heart like that oh my goshhh🥺🥺🥺💗💗
Lucas Morais while your points make sense my issue with the story is that Joel’s death felt forced because he totally acted out of character. The previous game established that Joel is wary of strangers because he is a survivor; yet in this game we willingly tells Abby’s group his name and where he’s from. It’s lazy decisions like that which make his death feel rushed when it could’ve been more meaningful. In addition, I do agree with your point that this game was realistic, but my issue is that if life is so unfair and video games are an escape from that unfairness, it seems intruding to force that on me. Personally I don’t think the harsh realities of life and a good story are mutually exclusive-but I’m not saying this game needed a happy-go-lucky everything is great ending, just one with resolution and a sense of completion. The ending felt empty to the extent of which the entire story was meaningless and a bit preachy
@@Bilboswaggins2077 Joel and Tommy would die to the hord anyway, so they choose trust her, it was the only option i think
This song Joel sung at the start & Ellie kept playing small parts of was actually genius. “If I ever were to lose you, I’d surely lose myself” is significant because Ellie lost Joel and throughout the game she slowly loses herself & everyone around her.
This was such a vulnerable but touching moment. You can really feel through this scene just how much Joel loves Ellie, and he didn't even have to say it. That's powerful within itself.
I'm a grown was dude an I cry every time
I love the way Ellie looks at Joel the entire time he's playing her this song.
Ever since I played Part 2, I've been feeling an emotion I haven't felt in a long time, and I now know what it is. I'm feeling like shit because I feel like I just lost a loved one, someone very close to me. No character's death in videogames, TV, or movies I've felt as bad as Joel's. This series has truly changed my life, and it has for the better.
Don't you love how his joke was a lame punny one like all those books Ellie picks up and reads in part 1?
Thats why it made joel think of ellie. God i love this game so much
I didn’t realize initially that this was a Pearl Jam song... During gameplay in a music store I came across a Pearl Jam poster for their 2013 album and text my dad about it with a screenshot because Pearl Jam is his #1 favorite band. My dad’s 50th birthday is in a week and I can’t go see him because of coronavirus. Then I come to find out this song to Ellie is a Pearl Jam song.... it hit me harder than it should’ve
No matter what this game hits you hard
That’s funny, I didn’t know either and my dad loves Pearl Jam. So when I found the music store I also sent a picture of the poster, ofc my dad already knew Pearl Jam was in it from PJ’s twitter😂. Edit: my dad was also going to see Pearl Jam and Covid :(
Olivia Bender Thats awesome! Our dads are cool haha.
Mista J haha yes they are!
Pearl Jam is my favorite band and I was already crazy when I was playing and this part came, plus the lightning bolt post of their album and them being in Seattle, where PJ came from alongside the other grunge bands ❤❤❤❤
Thus is too beautiful but heartbreaking when you know the story. I love their relationship cause its one of the rawest I've seen in video games.
Can't imagine how much Joel really treasures Ellie cause she really is like Sarah in ways. He can be friends with Ellie just like he was Sarah's. God i love the games
To this day this moment still breaks me I have no clue why but it hurts my heart knowing what happens next...
Simply the best, rawest moment of both games. Worth playing TLOU 2 just for this moment.
I lost my Dad around a month ago. I've never experienced a pain like this. My body does not feel like it did while he was here. A piece of me feels empty. My mind rejects that he is no longer here but I have to accept it. He is gone.
Tell your people you love em. It all happened so fast. My Dad was a good man. Never take good people in your life for granted. I am grateful that he had 57 years on this Earth. God bless.
My dad dies a year ago , im sorry
I have cried out every single tear I had listening to it the first time.
And every time I think about it, I cry again.
Here I am, playing it to my guitar, shedding tears, having those two in my mind.
The emotions, the journey Joel and Ellie gave us are absolutely something I will have forever with me in my heart.
Thanks for everything
i really felt like a bozo crying my guts out over a fictional character. glad i wasn't the only one.
It feels so refreshing to see a community of people who actually loved the game
This game is a masterpiece
I think the best thing, and what made the game so great, is that the characters feel real, we all loved Joel, but he wasn't a "hero", he was just a man, someone that we all connected with. But he, like everyone, had his flaws and thats what i think connected people even more, Joel wasn't this superhero to look up, just a man, a flawed man, trying his best for someone he cares about. If it wasn't for Ellie, Joel may have even turned out a villain, but their journey, and what a journey it was, was one of the most beautiful stories and one of the most tragic because it all felt so grounded in reality, these characters and their emotions were all something we have felt at some points in our lives. A true... masterpiece.
I've just finished the game, and returning to this song just breaks my heart, yet warms it at the same time
I'm gonna learn to play guitar thanks to this scene, one day I hope I can sing to this my daughter
no one will change my mind. this game is a masterpiece and deserved goty
i agree with you
I also agree
Fax
I. DO. NOT. BUT WHO CARES LOL RESPECT
@@JesusChrist_Denton respect man
After playing the game, my eyes will tear up every time I listen to this song!
