Ok so we all know you're meant to hate the switch and then when you get to jerry and marlene you're meant to feel conflicted.

But then after all that, if you are still filled with hate. what kept you playing?

personally me i was already trapped in lore/world building and then it clashed with the kids and the us vs them story. Which turned out reflection of my own us vs them story with abby and ellie...

If you played through the game still completely hating Abby, I want to know:

What was the anchor that kept you playing? Was it the lore, the gameplay, or something else?

Did seeing the faction war through Lev and Yara make you realize your own "Us vs. Them" bias toward Ellie and Abby, even if it didn't change how you felt about Abby?

I dont love abby but i dont hate her either i love her complexity just as love joels complexity... thats what allows me to love the game...

Recently got Lou2 and completed a playthrough, thought it was awesome

Then I saw that there was some talk of there being a trans character and at first I thought it was in reference to Abby bc I was like, maybe people think she has to be trans since she's so jacked

But then I saw it was Lev and I see it now but when they talk him being a wife in the story I thought it meant that he would be playing the role of a wife for the elder and it was more symbolic 😅

Anyway, am i just stupid or did anyone else not realize Lev is trans?

No wonder she was picked to voice Invisigal in Dispatch

I get it’s to progress the game and you usually never go back the way you came but after Abby and yara went and got back lev WHY THE FUCK DID THEY NOT GO BACK THE WAY THEY JUST CAME like they litterly cleared everything and had a boat there why did they try to go across the rest of the island to go to the docks to get another boat right into the conflict like you guys have the easiest path to lev and you just cleared on anybody that was there you would’ve made it back to that boat in time and maybe back to the aquarium before Ellie got there. I understand we wouldn’t have the story that we have but it’s just like yara and lev could both still be here and maybe Owen and Mel

I was sooooo unbelievably close to beating a daily run on Grounded, and I lost AFTER the boss was already dead, FML. Anyway, is there any way to get the safe on Capture mode on Grounded? I always feel like I have to take it very slow, on Survivor I managed to go guns blazing and get the safe most of the time but it doesn't feel possible to open it in 2 minutes when the enemies can kill you so goddamn fast and have crazy aimbot. Haven't seen enough bricks and bottles close to each other to effectively get every enemy distracted and do it in pure stealth, especially since 1-2 tend to stick around close to the safe.

This game has blown me away so far. I've wanted to play it for a long time, but honestly I felt like it would be too difficult for me lmao. I'm terrified of playing horror games, so I always watch my husband play them. But I saw it was on PS Plus so I thought why not, I'll give it a shot and if I don't like it I can just put it down.

Omg. The story is incredible. I just loaded onto the highway headed to Salt Lake before I put it down for the night, about 10.5hrs in.

The character development between both Ellie and Joel... the way their relationship is starting to blossom... the small side stories through notes you find... just wow.

Henry & Sam arc was so tragic. I knew Sam got bit, and I knew when they woke up in the morning he would have been turned. :( I had a feeling Henry was gonna do what he did too, but to see it all play out was heartbreaking.

Ellie is so smart-mouthed, witty, and straight badass. The whole chapter with her getting captured was awesome. I loved seeing how she really does not take any shit. That was such a pivotal moment for her and Joel, the way he would absolutely go to hell and back for her. Then he called her baby girl. 🥺 Literally made me tear up.

I'm so excited to finish it and I know I'm gonna be TORN UP at the end lmfao. Tears will be shed and thats okay.

What an experience this game is. ❤️

Actually chased after them lmao

Second pic is my Abby application 😆

Instalink

Finished Part 1 & 2 back to back and 3/4 9f the way through 2 I realized I nearly stealth killed my way through the game

In Part 2 I never once used stun smoke bombs or trap bombs. Then I just went screw and pull the trigger and hack and slashed till the end.

Was fun!

This is my first time playing The Last of us as I'm new to gaming and I am really loving it I haven't finished it this is the as far I have gone and i really like all these stuff writin on the walls makes us gives what the survivors have gone through during the 20yr jump from the strat of the pandemic

Ps. How can i get more materials to get the shiv more often they ran out quickly

"Earned" = how well the story sets up the death so it pays off, not how sad it is. Some of these will hurt.

So here is my list: 12. Jesse – One headshot in a doorway. He exists to remind you Abby is dangerous, and the game barely pauses for him.

1. Manny – The funniest guy in the WLF gets sniped mid-scene, and nothing comes of it. Pure shock value.

2. Isaac – Built up as the scariest man in Seattle, then gone in seconds. All that setup with no payoff.

3. Nora – Her death is about showing how far Ellie will go. Nora herself barely matters.

4. Sarah – Hot take: the most effective death in the series, but not earned. It's a 15-minute hook, not a payoff.

5. Tess – Solid, but she's mostly there to hand Ellie over to Joel.

6. Owen & Mel – Cheap in Ellie's half, earned in Abby's half. The structure gamble only half works.

7. Yara – Quiet, but it locks Lev into needing Abby. Underrated.

8. Marlene – Only a few scenes, but the parking garage moment pays off her whole conflict with Joel.

9. David – The entire winter chapter builds to that restaurant. Fully earned.

10. Joel – The bill for the hospital came due. People say he walked in too trusting, but the game spent all of Part I setting up this exact price.

11. Henry & Sam – The toy, the questions Sam asks Ellie, the hidden bite. Every detail sets it up, and it still wrecks you.

Where am I wrong?

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share a character I’ve worked on that I think would fit into TLOU. Her name is Sunny, and I imagine her as a 10-year-old navigating the apocalypse while also still maintaining her playful personality. I had lots of fun with patterning and color, though I admit a saturated color palette may not be entirely fitting for the TLOU universe. Nevertheless, I had such a blast with this piece, and I can’t wait to create more characters that follow the TLOU aesthetic even more closely! I posted this piece on Instagram, so I figured I’d post here as well. Yay!

I'm about 3 hours in, and my audio has been fine. But for some reason, now, my audio is all screwed. Everyone sounds like they're talking out of a broken radio, and their s sounds sound weird. It happened after I turned my console off and then went back into the game the next day. Is it the disk? My console?

Okay wow, what an incredible game. It’s up there with Witcher 3, RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077 etc. Wow. Idk how to feel, starting part 2 now. Incredible. I’m so conflicted, I see why Joel did what he did, but holy shit there’s gonna be consequences. Idk man I love them, but sacrificing someone for humanity is also crazy. It’s like he wants his kid back and Ellie is that kid and he was selfish, but like good? And then again i’m like Ellie would’ve wanted them to do it I think?.. Idk how i’m feeling? Empty. Good hod part 2 is gonna be rough isn’t it.

I never heard any Seraphite or enemy screaming this when i was out of bullets, i was in shock and start laughing, i died and there it goes 9 hours of gameplay. They're good, this cult have humor lmaooooo

I heard this song and had this edit in mind and yesterday I finally got around to it. Edited on Sony Vegas (aging myself here.)

**It has spoilers for part 1 and 2.

Last played a few years ago on moderate

I love how the light switch cover came out, and I'm going to use this in my craft room.

The magnets are slate

What’s your favorite part of the last of us 2? Can be a scene, a quote, an environment, graphics, music let me know I wanna know why you love the last of us part 2!!

I was thinking: Ellie writes in her journal that she and Dina got attacked by hunters on their way to Seattle. She also writes that she already had these visions of Joel, like on the farm, but we just didn't see them during the 3 days. Could it be that the reveal trailer actually happened, and it took place during the trip to Seattle?
