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

Letting a heavily pregnant woman in combat was the most idiotic and hilarious thing I have seen in a videogame.

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.

Almost 2 years later and this game has left zero impact on the industry or anyone, good job Neil for ruining a potential franchise.

Its a story written about right and wrong, written by people who think they're always right

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."

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.

33:10 The moral of the story is: "If you ever see a band of hipsters about to get eaten by a zombie horde, don't save their lives because they will beat you to death."

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.

The Last of Us Part II is proof that a polished game with beautiful Graphics cannot save a shity story.

I could only pre order 1 and man I'm so happy I picked Ghost of Tsushima

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

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.

The first people to die in a societal collapse are precisely those portrayed in this game as survivors.

still can't believe they killed one of the ps4 greatest games of all time

Political agenda aside, my interest level dropped to zero when I learned they killed Joel off so early in the game.

"Record sales" is a meaningless phrase. Most sales in the first hour? On a Friday? Over a weekend? You get the idea.

>80 minutes This is more time than I would have devoted to playing the actual game itself. That said, I'm gonna go make a cocktail and get comfy. Cheers, homie.

Don't mind me. I'm just here for my annual revisit of 21Kiloton's smack-down of this absolute disaster.

Don't worry about spoilers, Sony already spoiled the game with their shenanigans.

> Finds weed farm. > Smokes the lot. > "I can hear the colour of my own STINK!!"

IGN 10/10 it has jumping and u play as Lesbian mass murder and Popeye the sailor ma'am.

It should be named “The last of 2 of Us: The first of Abby”

Unbelievable plot holes and high school drama levels of writing nicely wrapped up in a generic zombie game where the zombies mean nothing. 10/10 "This game will teach you how to think"

LOL I love this guy. " I'm giving ALL the spoilers" xD

They should've used Dina's actor's actual chest, would've balanced out Abby's chest.

Might as well be called "Character Assassination: The Game."

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.

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.

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.

bruce strayley wasn't involved in this game so i think that is a big part of why it turned out the way it did

Absolutely nonsensical story that gaslights the player like The Last Jedi does with its flowery pretentious language when really it’s just horribly written

This review deserves to be saved in the Library of Congress.

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.

1:20:13 Someone should do a meme how flicking a lit joint into rubbish piles is a bad idea, like wouldn't it be funny seeing them kissing with flames starting build in the background, a perfect metaphor for this game.

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.

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...

Did you really just spoiler Die Hard 1? Are you insane?

"spoiler rich experience" LOL 🤣

I straight up lost interest in playing this game after Joel died

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.

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

I laughed my ass off watching this review. This was the most hillarious review but spot on that I have watched. 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. All of you should be ashamed. Anyhow. This review was SPOT ON,HILLARIOUSLY PRESENTED and the man who did it should be hired at Naughty Dog!

the story is what ruined the game for me. i think the graphics are great and the gameplay is like the first one (decent), but the story is pure stinky poo poo. 4/10, MAYBE 5/10 from me

Joel got cancelled, simple as that. I despise this woke trash with a passion, and I loved the first game.

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!

This is the only review I was looking forward to for this game.

Highly competent but underrated channel.

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.

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. Legend 👌

I'm here because my dad didn't wear a condom.

“I´ve seen messages wrapped around house bricks and thrown through fucking windows, that were delivered with more finesse and suttlety than the patronizing finger wagging in this game.“ - poetry.

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. What a shame. But. Gun porn, amirite? Great work, as always. Cheers.

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.

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.

One of the few channels on KZfaqofShit to still make good and educational content!! Congrats, man. Each video of yours is a truly masterpiece worth it of a 10/10!!!

The story, if you can call it that, was a disaster. Virtue signalling and pandering to agendas made this utterly unpalatable on every level.

I wouldn't have apologized but if I did, I'd be taking my damn sandwich back.

Joel saves Ellie and she gets all pissy about it. Joel saves Abby and she murders him. This is why you don't do women any favors.

I wake up every morning hoping to see a new 21Kiloton video in my feed.

A bigot sandwich sounds pretty good right now. Ellie wasting perfectly good steak in an apocalypse makes me angrier than anything abby related 😔

youtube has literally deleted 80% of my comments on this game

An hour and 20 minutes? Guess I'm canceling my tee time!

46:40 This is precisely why I lost interest in The Walking Dead so quickly and tune out as soon as it is revealed that 'Humans are the real monsters" in any horror series since anyone who has actually lived through disasters and hardships knows that one of the most valuable resources of all during crises are human resources.

It's such a RDR2 knock-off in places, it has Beecher's Hope reproduced in it, just to recreate the drama of Sadie/Tommy coming for a visit to say they have a lead on Micah/Abby, and for Abigail/Dina to whine at John/Ellie, begging them not to go. I can't believe the obscure Eric Bana Chopper reference.

The only human immune to an infection would be: A) A jailed Blood-bag B) A jailed breeder LOU2 is like having a quad amputee defeat Yoda in lightsaber combat with their mouth....too stupid for people who love "Space Wizards" heh.

I’m surprised Dina wasn’t just as upset at Abby for killing her baby’s father and instead shamed Ellie for wanting revenge for killing her father figure and her step-son’s biological father. We just have to wait for the baby to grow up and find out.

Ellie is built like a child still in this game lol

There is a safe cracking mechanic: listen to the clicks when turning the dial, the correct number will have a slightly different click.

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 just wish that when they started boasting about the game featuring a jump button, you could hear Mario say: "Imma have to go slap a bitch, wahoo!"

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

RIP JOEL. 2013 TO 2020, truly an amazing character. RIP JOEL YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MISSED.

"...is a Masterclass of how to take a critically acclaimed and successful franchise, and destroy it." Just like the Last Jedi. Only reason it's so divisive is because people for such anticipated franchises are so desperate for more that they'll eat it up like Stockholm Syndrome and the media is being strong armed into supporting them or else they lose access.

There is a safe cracking mechanic you just have to listen carefully when turning the dial on the safe

The only reason I got this game. Is because I found it in a trash bin, now I just need a Ps5

I love how they try to make you feel bad for Ellie killing a pg woman when Ellie had no idea she was pg and the woman tried to kill her.

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.

Thanks for addressing the former blonde former IGN reviewer. I watched her video, and the most egregious thing she said was something along the lines of the reason AAA games all get 10/10 is because they are so damn good because they are AAA games! Circular argument there.

The game was influenced by one Woman's views and has affected millions of customers.. The needs of the few DO NOT outweigh the needs of the many.. and for that very reason anything that sets out to please the few will never do well financially..

You would think Abby would start to have this question on why Joel killed her dad before she went for the Double Joelgy. I mean it’s been 4 years

"you kill 5 gender neutral hipsters" This guy has been peering into my dreams.

"He was given a ferrari, and he used it like a fucking tractor" Ferrari DO make tractors... Lamborghini does too.

I was considering this game again this morning, and I've come to the conclusion that TLOU2 is actually abusive.

Heard TLOS2 changed it's branding, trying to get some sales during December. So, I sent out an e-massage to some friends, one I found, was thinking of buying the game, having just learned of it. So expect some more people watching your work. This made me smile.

I normally comment on my videos chazing faults and mistakes. But this guy... This guy is sarcastic, honest and brutally accurated... Cheers dude!!! 😌👍

I'm actually an X box and Switch owner, but would love to play this. The 3:10 to Yuma/ Brokeback mountain analogy was brilliant. Bravo Mr Kiloton!

The most complete TLOU2 review out there.

Ahhhhhh YES, I've been waiting for this one. I'm strapping on my strapon!👍

Good thing Ghosts of Tsushima is out now, so we can all forget about this trash fire...

I bought kingdom come deliverance for £24 instead of this and i havn't regretted a minute of it.

Pretty sure it's called a golf bat

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."

4:40 - 5:05 one of many reasons i sit anxious until a new video comes out. man your scripts are godlike

Abby: Brutally murders Joel in front of his brother and daughter. Also Abby: Leaves Tommy and Ellie alive for them to take revenge. Tommy & Ellie: *kill all Abby’s friends* Abby: *surprised Pikachu face* This game’s writing is so laughably stupid.

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.

The last of us 2 was such a disaster and so political it made me sick to me stomach. I was so excited for the last of us 2 soon as it got announced but like most modern games now zero effort shit story line bad character design and ruined by political agenda

"My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Said a vengeful soul once when its vengeance soared high And thus a writer decided that a memorable quote must apply To his own little baby he thought to be just as deified The writer thought and thought but wit is hard to come by And then catharsis struck and Druckman yelled "Banzai!" For his memorable quote, one for the ages just clarified And thus Ellie yelled "Motherfucker!" a time or five During her climactic battle with the plot-armored bad guy Writing is hard, that Druckman knew and that was why The sauciest he can do is still way too dry

21:48 Love how you're talking about eye-candy and right here there's a visual bug with the snow on the ground.

Does Naughty Dog not realize Ellie could've killed Abby during their final confrontation and the story would've worked out the same, if not better? She would've achieved a hollow, pyhrric victory, avenging Joel but realizing its cost her everything to do so.
