You're seeing the glass half empty. Especially in this game, we got to see Hugo explore and fall in love with the beauty of the world and it's people. He was amused by flowers and feathers and everyone that knew him loved him. He had bright moments in his short life, thanks to Amicia.

His last words are that he was happy with Amicia and he loved her. He didn't die in sadness and anger like the last carrier. It's something at least

King Hugo is dead, and her "crown" is gone...

Same for me, I have a little brother..

You mean Amicia and Lucas

@@Natori_1999 yes, bro

And when he makes the comment earlier in the game controlling the rats is painful, and yet does it so she could get to him 😢😢

he even said that on the boat that its ok if hes gonna die because he was happy with amicia he is so brave 😣

Amicia promised be wouldn't die and he did 😭

Christopher judge won that-kratos

@@pavanvishwakarma7159 well yes i know now thanks 🙏🏻 although luckily i didn’t read your comment til now as i didn’t get to see the awards til late, so it would have been disappointing to know that before i got to see it. Im playing GOWR now and although i am enjoying it a lot i was disappointed that some of the awards that went to it over other nominees. For eg this category I really feel Charlotte was incredible in her role as Amicia. Also another eg the music category i literally would not recognise GOW or GOWR music but some of the other nominees i felt were superb musically - not that GOW isn’t good i just felt that there were so many amazing games and that some of these other categories could have recognised them instead giving nearly all the awards except the biggie - which i think we all were pretty sure would be Elden ring - to GOWR. But anyway its all subjective an i do think it has been an incredible year for games and that is what really counts. And i think we have another amazing year next year. I literally am never going to get them all played 😆

Aye I'm only at the scene with a lot of dead infected corpses. That scene and Amicia killing all the people remind me of Christopher Columbus the trespasser. I wonder if this game is secretly trying to tell us this forgotten history? The American Indian Holocaust, known as the “500-year war” and the World’s Longest Holocaust In The History Of Mankind Death Toll: 95,000,000 to 114,000,000 American Holocaust: D. Stannard (Oxford Press, 1992) I didn't know about this until I saw this article. (For educational purposes only) - The list of Native American genocidal policies includes: Mass-execution, Biological warfare, Forced Removal from homelands, Incarceration, Indoctrination of non-indigenous values, forced surgical sterilization of native women, Prevention of religious practices, just to name a few. By mass execution, before the arrival of Columbus, the land defined as the 48 contiguous states of America numbered more than 12 million. Four centuries later, it had been reduced by 95% (237 thousand). How? When Columbus returned in 1493 he brought a force of 17 ships. He began to implement slavery and mass extermination of the Taino population of the Caribbean. Within three years five million were dead. Fifty years later the Spanish census recorded only 200 living! Las Casas, the primary historian of the Columbian era, writes of numerous accounts of the horrendous acts that the Spanish colonists inflicted upon the indigenous people, which included hanging them en masse, roasting them on spits, hacking their children into pieces to be used as dog food, and the list continues. This did not end with Columbus’ departure, the European colonies and the newly declared United States continued similar conquests. Massacres occurred across the land such as the Wounded Knee Massacre. Not only was the method of massacre used, other methods for “Indian Removal” and “clearing” included the military slaughter of tribal villages, bounties on native scalps, and biological warfare. British agents intentionally gave Tribes blankets that were intentionally contaminated with smallpox. Over 100 thousand died among the Mingo, Delaware, Shawnee, and other Ohio River nations. The U.S. army followed suit and used the same method on the Plains tribal populations with similar success. In other case, Captain Cook’s crew introduced sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis and gonorrhea. Because of their island location, Native Hawaiians lacked immunity to infectious diseases like these, and they spread quickly. So did a “plague” that struck the island around 1803. Thought to have been yellow fever or a similar disease, the epidemic resulted in up to 175,000 deaths, cutting the island’s pre-contact population in half.

In what category would she win though? Best localization performance? Doesn't exist. Best Performance? The actual performance is done by the french actress.

ive never hear such good voice acting in a game at least since ellie in the last of us. The voice actor though is sansa stark from game of thrones.

It's even sadder when you remember she spent most of her childhood without her parents as well. She did not know Hugo until the attack. She lived a very lonely childhood and I really loved those realistic little gripes she'd have. She'd be petulant or angry because Hugo was getting attention. Hugo was the first person she actually had a chance to become attached to other than her dog. It's freaking sad but what I do love about the tease ending is that it tells the audience Amicia found love eventually and had a family.

@@mbovb006 don't forget her dogs beeing killed aswell

@mbovb006 the macula does not necessarily stay within one family. I mean even the end of this game, she is going to search the world for the next carrier. How does the extra ending tell you she found love?

But then Lucas hugs her! Even with Hugo gone she still has people who care about her. She's not alone

I just hope Sophia never leaves her. Like the big sister she already was for them both

If there is gonna be a third, I wonder if it will take place in modern times, or somewhere in the future. By the sounds of the post credit scenes it sounds like a hospital, probably an ICU. Imagine fighting of the plague rats using UV weapons.

@@gamero31o would love that

Well, there’s a lot of that in this game. Hell, there’s a lot of innocent kids Hugo took away. So, well, you are responsible for that very thing to so many others. Hell, one already tried to kill you to put an end to it after his son died. But I’m sure you ignore that and it only matters now after it affects you. Most of the world calls that selfish, among other things.

I thought about the story of this game so much that i have my own idea, like, what if the person in the hospital at the end is who this entire game is really about. Someone on their deathbed, a story told from the perspective of a family member that's sitting next to them watching over them, accepting fate, the whole theme of letting go. Amicia does everything she can, holds Hugo's hand through all of it, shows him strength but when she's away from him, she's falling apart, anxiety attacks & lashing out at the world, as Lucas says 'the world keeps hurting and you want to hurt it back, but it's a fight you cannot win'. She keeps him going, looking for any tiny chance for a miracle but Hugo knows his time has come. It's normal to think we should keep a loved one alive for as long as possible, but it isn't always what's best for them, keeping them in pain, keeping them in the horrific feeling that they're just hurting everyone around them, a contagious suffering, like a plague. The rats could easily be the mental representation that people often create simply so their sickness 'has a face' so to speak. I can see so many parallels in this game where the macula could easily be cancer for example, and there are so many points in the story that make perfect metaphors for losing a loved one to it.

@@SynphamyMusic wow, this is interesting idea

@@SynphamyMusic Wow, that really is an interesting perspective. That's the power of ambiguous endings.

@@SynphamyMusic would make sense if that “sickness” wasn’t responsible for the death of so many others. So many innocent people dead because of it. You think you have it bad because Hugo died. How many people did you take away? So this mentality of it being this “loved on on their deathbed” story is incredibly selfish and shortsighted. It’s part of the reason Amicia deserves death just like Hugo.

@@moonmoon2479 Do you understand what a metaphor is? Innocent people die around us every day that we pay absolutely no mind to. In the game's story this could refer to how sadly normal to daily life it is that the rats, the sickness can take anybody. Its not selfish, in fact, it's the opposite to at least spare them a thought and consider the suffering we so easily overlook.

i am so sorry for your loss

@@honeysweet4804 thank you. I appreciate it very much.

I'm sorry. Much love to you

@@Marz3 Okay, what the sh#t? I keep getting these responses to my gaming comments? Is this a bot or something?

Lol, lots of cope. How many people is Hugo responsible for killing? Thousands. You just want to shift blame. How selfish and shortsighted of you. You are no better. In fact, you are worse. Thousands are dead because of this. Innocent people. Arnaud and Sophia aren’t good guys. They sided with you. They should have killed you if they were good guys. Hugo fell to that same thirst for power, and he also was a massive idiot who thought the Macula would lead him to its own cure. Hugo deserved to die. How many families has he destroyed. I’ll give you a hint, one of them thought killing you two would stop the plague, and it turns out they were right. Try to shift blame all you want, try to be a victim in this, you aren’t. Hugo deserved to die, and so does Amicia. (Hilarious that you think that about friends btw. Someone that means well is worse than an asshole that doesn’t betray you? Yeah, peak selfishness)

@@moonmoon2479 It's basically like the concept for TLoU. Withheld the cure for a much bigger problem just to keep one small desire in check. Which is to protect something that is near and dear to them and don't give a fuck about anything else because they world was already shitty to begin with. The other two deuteragonists were basically just along for the ride because the writers said so. But I don't change my mind that they're helpful despite their bad first impressions. Even though I made my comment and I still stand by it -- I totally agree with you right here. Selfishness goes a long long way and most often a complicated topic, but justified by one's actions of course. You understand and don't understand them at the same time, the plague would exactly be over if Hugo already perished, but because of sympathy you also feel what it's like to lose something you care about. Ultimately, it's all about choosing the lesser of two evils. Amicia obviously chose the bigger evil of dragging the plague longer because the host of the Macula is still alive. And even though Hugo was a big part of Amicia's life, he's just a spec in the Universe. The world's a better place without him and the plague, I guess. Deem my main comment as first impressions of the ending.

This makes so much more sense to me on why they had no choice but to kill him. his body no longer being his own. I'm glad I had the chance to read this. Thank you. The story was so good though and it's sad by the time they realise all they needed to do was to just be somewhere in peace and quiet it was too late. 😭😿

It's going to win GOTY

@@rhh8949 As much as I would like it to, it's gonna be impossible with Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok on the same category.

The Game Awards this year seemed unfair and stupid. Kratos in this game did nothing bit grunt and the plot wasn't particularly great this time either so giving it best voice and screenplay was out of line. They even gave it best music when it just recycled 2018 theme. Anyways, I loved 2018 GOW and plague tale was close to it...

@@billybro1403 Late to the party, but honestly who cares? It's a heavily culturally biased and narrowminded event, where awards more often than not get thrown at blatant award-baits that try to emulate storytelling of prestige film or television often at the cost of their merit as video games.

Bro that part… truly felt like an end to an amazing story

You are crazy man the last of us 1-2 are amazing ❤and this is amazing too.

@@edwinscs I didn't say they were crap now did I? But compared to A Plague Tale 1 and 2, the last of us games were dramatically pretentious. After revisiting the first game, it doesn't really hit hard emotional as it did before. I don't really find much content to relate to as I did with Amicia and Hugo. Whereas in the Last of Us, it feels really forceful.

@@Larkinovicwell for me the tlou was the best game I ever played and the theme for tlou 2 was to powerful to forget so this game being great and everything doesn’t reach the high of those games

@@edwinscs good for you. I've played so many great games since the early 90s, regardless of how polished their mechanics are or not, one will always do something better for others. Plague tale for me has the better story, more refreshing idea and imagination, regardless of it's gameplay, I thought it was more unique. Last of Us is nothing really new. At its time, the acting and writing was unmatched. But having seen so many films of it's genre and others that carry the same themes that compare to it, it just feels like another recycling with what I've seen before just modernized for a new generation.

@@Larkinovic but what others games has better story than tlou? Maybe 🤔 you can name 3 so I can check those

If you’re still thirsty, I highly recommend you check out Olivier Derivière’s walkthrough as hi gives insight into the game’s music. He reveals many many details that you may not spot at first but when put togeter they elevate the whole a lot.

Oh no! Thank you, I would have liked that ending much less than this. 😅😭

“The job of the protector was not to protect the carrier, but to protect humanity from the carrier.” Considers how much death and destruction towards humanity she is responsible for, and how she keeps going despite the human cost, she’s a miserable failure of a protector like Aeila before her.

@@moonmoon2479 She saved humanity from extinction, so not that much of a failure.

@@moonmoon2479 well you are expecting so much from a girl who was under her dad’s wings when the sht went down.

@@MrEsphoenix so much has already been destroyed, so yeah, pretty big failure.

That 1st credit was to let people be sad of a moment because they know some people would be too sad to even concentrate at the story. That credit is very well placed

Cope. The expert on this told you already that he was going to die at the beginning of the game. Killing him would always have been necessary. The Order would have been right to kill him but they wanted to use the power. (Kinda like Amicia does) And that “terminal illness” is getting good people killed. Innocent people. But it only matters as a “terminal illness” to you because of Hugo. Incredibly selfish.

@@moonmoon2479 You mean Magister Vaudin? The "expert" who made things worse and accelerated the problem? (it's an actual plot point. When you read the synopsis of the game like on wikipedia, it explicitly states that Vaudin made it worse).

@@brianthebroken again, he told you what happened. Oh yes, because Wikipedia said it, it must be true. Man, so much cope all in one place. He was right and you can’t take that. It’s a good thing that kid is dead, and that selfish people pay for what they do.

@@moonmoon2479 Whoa...never thought I'd meet a Magister Vaudin fan... :D

the reason the order was not a bunch of assassins is because they wanted to use the carrier as a military asset. That is what happened with Basilius, they couldve killed him, instead they experimented on him within a fortress looking for ways to harness his power.

SPOILER ALERT

Dude. Wtf 🤦🏻‍♀️

and the devs made us do it with a slingshot!! worst ways to kill someone dear God. imma sue the devs for giving me emotional pain

Yeah, that's kinda the point of the whole game. Fighting the inevitable only does more harm.

It's always bad I swear lol

WHAT?

@@thairinkhudr4259 What is your What referring to?

@@armanisar-feinial1789 oh sorry, the adaptation? What adaptation?
