That's great to hear man.

Have you ever played Tell Tales The Walking Dead? It stars Lee & Clementine. It came out just one year before The Last of Us and it had a very similar found family story of surrogate father and daughter in a post apocalypse. It won Game of the Year in 2012.

I'm late on this reply but I went through the same. I did the opposite of how you're supposed to experience it and yet it might be the most impactful piece of media I've ever consumed outisde of music. I don't think anything except for this game has the power to send goosebumps all over my body just from thinking about it.

I went through the same aswell, growing up i had xbox, nintendo, and the ps2 at my grandmas house, i never had a ps3 or ps4, but my favorite games to watch and story wise were always uncharted and the last of us. ive watched through jacksepticeyes playthrough of all of the games many many many many times, played tid bits of the games at friends houses. But never owned them. Then they brought the game to pc last year, i became a pc gamer and was playing games compettively and hadnt played a story game in a while, i bought it day one and played through it in one sitting, i loved every second and instantly went back and played new game+. In 2 days im buying a playstation and the last of us 2 with my first ever paycheck, time flies man @@the_bottomfragger

I went through nearly the exact same thing

I adore the first game but haven't tried the second one yet either. I have to give it a shot sometime.

I tried so hard to be in biased about the second game but it's truly a shit hole, not even the gameplay was safe from the disaster, the gunplay itself was amazing but there's so much tedious shit both in story and in the levels

I had never played it on PS3 even though I bought a used copy around 2011 or 2012. The game sat in my drawer unplayed for years. Then during the pandemic it became one of the PS+ games of the month and I decided to give it a try. It very quickly became my all time favorite video game. In the 3 plus years since then I've played it at least 10 times beginning to end

@@theshadowthie1 idiotic clown

​@theshadowthie1 a shit hole? Damn that's really rough lol. I believe it's up there with Red Dead 2 as one of the best games of the generation, perhaps of all time.

Part 2 is shit

yes it was . best games of all time along with part 2

Not even among the best story's. It's wholely unoriginal. It's only strength is the relationship between the two characters.

Ofcourse it never was. Its a clickbait title.

I also like the second game as well but my mom saw me killing the bad guys and she said I don’t like it and I said it part of the game

@@rightinthedome9973 That’s the whole point. Neil said it himself “simple story, complex characters” not every story needs to be ground breaking for it to be considered one of the best. In my opinion the most important part of any story is the character development, if the protagonist goes through a long journey and comes out the other side exactly the same was the journey even worth it?

I feel the same way. Gameplay is really good and deserves a shout out too.

You should check out Tim Rogers' review on Last of Us. He spends a good amount of time talking about the gameplay and how it's good. One of my favorite parts is how he talks about this being a great game for other people to watch sitting next to you, not just because of the story, but because the gameplay works well for a "friend next ot you sees something and says ooh is something there too" experience.

Agreed, I totally get both sides. But honestly the fireflies feel like a mess, I don’t think they could even make a cure let alone distribute it. I know they should try, and I don’t know if this ethical dilemma would be nearly as complicated if say Joel was immune. He’s an adult, all the stuff he’s done, maybe this is his way to atone. Ellie is a trauma victim with survivors guilt and a child, that really muddies the water. Joel is being selfish, but as you say as a Dad I wouldn’t stand by for this either.

Tbh, I'm honestly impressed that the last of us community, or technically the community that hates it for even existing, has somehow made a comment section that is more toxic than the comments under your Sonic videos.

Dumb fuck replied to me, can't see the comment on KZfaq for some reason, saying that TLOU fans are "mindless drones", completely ignoring how like half of the comments here are just people mindlessly stating that it was never was the best game. Haters of TLOU are genuine sheep

You can actually change the bow trajectory to the original in the settings!

It can be mixed then. I think the characters are super interesting, the story is bold and ambitious, and the gameplay is second to none. I also think the story may be a bit TOO ambitious and that leads to it being a little sloppy and very poorly paced. Now the pros outweigh the cons for me, so I still love it. But it's ok for that to not be the case for you. Despite what Reddit, KZfaq, or Twitter may tell you, it doesn't have to be the worst thing to ever happen to you or the greatest game ever. It can be that (you'd be dramatic but hey it could be). It can also be anywhere in between

i love it. doubling on what Matthew Malanga says, it doesn't have to be labelled. Every time i play part ii I'm immerse into this well crafted post apocalyptic world and goes on an adventure. The story is great to me and it reflect what's our reality too, in our day to day life we don't have control over every situation, we gotta roll with what's thrown at us and i think that the fact that we agree or disagree with certain aspect of the story makes it just more believable. i do prefer the game play of part ii and i love the environment. every time i finish any of these 2 game i'm saying out loud "what a great fucking game" when i became a fan of uncharted i never thought a franchise could dethrone it and naughty dog did it with TLOU

So you need someone to give an opinion on it so you can have one..?

@@ElectrikStatik900 i didnt say that lol. listen to what he said.

​@@ItsOver9000Productions Yes, you did say that. Continue parroting the same played out opinion without even watching the vid first, thank you 💀💀💀

@@ElectrikStatik900 so i can tell you are too dumb to understand, so i'm going to say this one more time. WATCH THE VIDEO. I did not call the last of us a bad game as he said in the video. I specifically said its not the greatest game ever made as the title suggest. I will not explain this again.

@@ElectrikStatik900 Can you not read? The video said that the game is not good at all. He literally said in his comment it was a game but just not the best.

Even though i dont think is the best (well, for me no game as good as it can be, can be considered as THE greatest), it feels like people ignored the entire video and just get salty because of that title, when he made good points. Although the video should be called "Why The Last Of Us is my favorite game of all time" or something like that, which btw thats totally understandable and respectable.

Kind of is clickbait, though. He knows it'll cause people who hate the game to comment angrily, and to do that, they click, and the system cares not if the engagement was to praise you or insult your mother, it cares that there are people looking. Likewise, fans will rush in for confirmation bias/to defend. And people who don't really care much may be curious as to why he's calling a fairly mid game the GOAT. It's just how it works now. And it worked. So, yeah.

All true. However all of those things could be true if this story was a film or a show, which it funnily enough is right now. There's not much in TLOU story that exclusively benefits from being a video game.

​@@Egurius3except there is. Because WE are Joel which is why we constantly side with him even when he makes a shitty decision

@@hwanniggles187 except we arent allowed to chose the outcome so doesnt affect us at all Look what you did the game preaches to you Game didnt give me a choice

@@hwanniggles187 I watched the show with my dad, who hasn't played the games. He agreed with Joel's decision despite following his story through a non-interactive medium. Meanwhile as just one exampe lof someone who played the game; British youtuber named Many A True Nerd while understanding Joel, disagreed with his decision by the end of Part 1, despite playing as him throughout the game. Basically what I'm saying is: The Last of Us being a video game doesn't guarantee that you agree with Joel like you seemingly imply. It might help somewhat to mold your opinion towards that of course. It's true that playing as a character gives you some kind of connection with them. How strong that connection is depends on the story being told and the player's personal perspective of course. Of course I'm being somewhat of a Captain Obvious by saying all this, I realise that. The debate of him doing the right or wrong choice has existed since the game first launched in 2013. Joel's decision has divided people for ten years now despite many of those people playing as him. I say many because obviously there are some who experience video game stories by let's plays and such.

@@hwanniggles187 Also I'm going to heavily disagree with the opinion that Joel made a shitty decision for many reasons. 1. He saved a person that is close to him and whom he loves. From certain perspective that just simply is the right thing to do and sould be considered the right moral choice, despite Joel being motivated by selfish reasons. 2. Vaccine would barely do anything in the world of The Last of Us, it's already fucked, but also possible to rebuild without it. I'll elaborate on both points. 2.1 Immunity doesn't save people from being killed by the infected when they tear your jaw off or bite off pieces of your neck. Ellie is a living proof of this. Hordes of infected would still be extremely dangerous to you. 2.2 The biggest threath to humans in the world of TLOU is other humans. I will argue that they kill each other more than the infected do. Just look at Part 2's story as one proof of this. In that game not a single main character dies from being infected, or by being killed by infected. All of them die from being killed by other humans. 2.3 The fact that places like Jackson Community, WLF and Seraphites exist and thrive proves that the world can be rebuilt without the vaccine. The only reason WLF and Seraphites get wiped out is because they can't stop fighting each other. The infected have very little to no effect in the downfall of their societies. So why are all these factions and their people so determined to fight each other? Well this leads to my point number 3. 3. Vaccine doesn't bring food to a table, it doesn't build you a shelter, and it doesn't give you resources to survive. Humans in the world of TLOU fight each other because they want to have all of those things to ensure their survival even at the cost of other people dying. That and personal grudges. Having a vaccine wouldn't change this basic nature of humans and how they're in constant conflict with each other. 4. The Fireflies did not give Ellie or Joel a choice, forcing Joel to take action. Had they asked Ellie, the outcome could have been way different. Obviously this makes the Fireflies huge assholes to say the least, and even bad guys from certain perspective. They didn't even allow Joel to keep his gear as they attempted to escort him out of the hospital, which would have been a death sentence for him, or give him the guns he was promised as a deal at the beginning of the game. 5. The Fireflies wanted to operate on Ellie after spending how much time examining her? Well considering that they performed all of those tests while Joel was unconsious, they must have spent under an hour examining her. They really don't want to take just a little more time before making such a final decision of killing her? And those are the people that should be trusted to make the decision? 6. Even if the Fireflies manage to make the vaccine, something the two games can't seem to agree on, how could they possibly distribute it around the US? Many roads are fucked, fuel is scarce along with many other resources, and there aren't exactly an abundance of drivable vehicles around. Not to mention all the dangers involved when travelling the world. 7. Would the Fireflies be willing to give the vaccine to everyone just like that, even if they could? Or would they keep it to themselves? Or would they start making demands in order for other people to get it, creating more wars and power struggles?

I mean it's my favorite video game all time behind Halo 2

@@MalikATL Well, something being your favorite video game is your own subjective feelings that nobody can take away from you. Something just being the best is an objective statement that is up for debate.
