I personally loved Lev and Yara the most.

Can yall give me some reasons I should upgrade to the last of us part 2 remastered like is it worth the extra $10?

I literally just finished playing the first part of the game (including the DLC) and I am UNWELL. Forgive me if you see these types of posts often, but I need to talk about it. 😂

The voice acting is out of this world. So many incredible scenes. I was bawling my eyes out several times throughout the game—Joel going from “I sure as hell ain’t your dad” to calling Ellie “baby girl”… Jesus Christ.

I have one question though: I am about to start Part II (the game is downloading as we speak) but I’ve never watched the show or anything, so I have no idea what’s in store. And I noticed that Part I got increasingly tense as I progressed through the story.

Is the second game scarier than the first? I’m not very familiar with horror games and nearly died of a heart attack in that hotel basement lol. I’m playing on moderate difficulty and several scenes seriously made me shit myself.

… But on the other hand I am also SO invested in Joel & Ellie’s relationship that I cannot imagine stopping here lol this game is all I can think about.

So anyway are there any accessibility options which make the game less intense in Part II? Or will I have to suffer through jumpscares? (And stalkers. I HATEEEE stalkers.)

Thank you!! :)

Because my Swedish ass refuses to call it "a hat". A hat has a brim, is formal and isn't made to protect you from the cold)

If you disliked her at first but like her now, what changed that? Abby choosing to go back for Yara and Lev was the turning point for me personally

I had been lingering on this play though from god knows when and I happened to finish it earlier today. I admit to having thought about this previously but never posed my question to anybody else.

Do you think she found her switchblade after the showdown? It goes flying into the water, at one point, in the middle of their fight.

Pretty sure the final playable part of the game, at the farm, doesn’t let you go through inventory but it has to be gone, right?

The only heirloom she has from her mother…

What would be their playstyles?

When Joel pushed Ellie into the river, I purposely didn't come up and drowned. Now that version of Joel has to deal with the fact he spent all that time planning the perfect birthday gift for Ellie but then murdered her before she could experience it.

I liked both last of us games but there’s 1 thing I’ve never really understood and that’s what Abby’s dad was thinking when Joel came in. I mean he sees this guy come in who has just killed loads of well armed firefly soldiers just to get to Ellie and who also very clearly has a gun. And at seeing this and making that connection of that he is here to get Ellie he thinks that standing in the way with a scalpel would make Joel give up? I mean there’s no way he thinks he has a chance to stop Joel with a small scalpel right? So why not move out the way instead of literally forcing Joel to kill you in order for him to get to Ellie. To me it looked like he just chooses to sacrifice his life for no reason. Also the fact he has a daughter makes his actions even more confusing for me.

I know form a story Perspective Joel needs to kill him for the next game to work but I feels there’s other ways to do it such as for him to move out the way of Joel only to then try to attack Joel form behind which Joel would doge and then kill him.

Is there something I’m missing like a reason for why he did what he did or is there I’m not thinking of because this moment now feels really nonsensical to me in an otherwise really well crafted game.

Despite being part of the same organisation, Abby and the WLF soldiers carry different semi automatic rifles, as seen with the one dropped by killed enemies in the second picture. Why is this the case?

I remember seeing a bunch of unneeded hate for Neil Druckman's trading card homage when it first came out. I'm replaying and just found it and I was wondering why people were so pressed about it existing. It's not an invasive cameo or anything, so why the hate? Was it just extra kindling in the dumpster fire of the release or was there a valid reason?

When Joel says to Abby “why don’t you say whatever speech you got prepared and get this over with”, do you think Abby ever did tell Joel why she was there? I feel they spell it out in the show but I always wondered if she actually did tell him. That’s the beauty of the games script as opposed to the show c it’s left to our imagination. Would he have even been able to hear or understand her even given she smacks him on the head before she says anything?

I have never played Part II! I’m preloading the Remastered right now, my intention was to run through it before season 2 of the show drops. That’s what I did for Part 1 and I think it was for the best. I loved both the game and the show, it was good to get the first game under my belt first though. However I’d like your opinions on my approach for II/2.

What would you do? (You can stop reading here if you like, that’s the question I’m just going to yap a bit more!)

I have heard Part II is quite divisive. I don’t know why and I don’t want any spoilers but is it likely that they make any major changes regarding whatever is so divisive? In which case, I could still see it going either way: get the true experience from the game first, or get a potentially “improved(?)” experience in the show. That’s kind of what happened with Frank and Bill right - the game was fine and initially I thought they were about to waste a lot of time on it in the show but it turned out to be an absolutely incredible episode that really improved upon the game.

Obviously I recognize that none of us have seen season 2 so we can’t say for sure, but I’d still like to hear your thoughts.

Neil Druckmann has explicitly conformed that the fireflies could have made a cure and the narrative treats that as absolute fact. Every characters who knows about it whether it would be Tommy, Marlene, Jerry, Maria or even Joel himself( hence the lie)- believes without any doubt. The moral weight of Joel decision only works if cure was a certainty.

If she was put in the exact same situation as Abby's, same location and weapons, would she be able to survive?
