Behind the Scenes - The Last of Us Part II

Interview with the actors and developers of The Last of Us Part II.

[@camille.santistevan]

this game was emotionally destroying.

[@Maaden84]

Yes, so fucking good, I felt everything playing this. The story is built up to perfection.

[@kyliesmith9199]

Yeah, it definitely was. It was meant to be that way, but at one point in the game, I really considered taking a break from it but I was so close to the end so I didn't

[@AlxndrJG]

Kylie Smith i had a whole week off on release. By the fourth day of playing, credits rolled, and I literally slept for an entire day. I was exhausted!!!

[@willianroomer3102]

Definitely! No game has ever made me feel this way. I stood 3 days thinking about it after I finished playing!

[@beardown-gmb359]

Dude, I don’t cry for video games or movies often...but I cried about for this one for a solid two days. Now every time I scroll pass it to play something else, I feel those emotions for a brief time until I forget them, which was probably one if their goals.

[@JJ-ub3mw]

Troy said they wanted to make a game that people will love or hate. They definitely succeeded. I personally loved it, I kind of get the hate, but not the intensity of it.

[@ElizabethMcQMusic]

Honestly...I love this game & I love the story of the whole game actually 😀 You have to really understand & grasp both sides (Ellie's & Abby's) to understand the end of the game & that's what I think a lot of people aren't getting/understanding. I have my own opinion of understanding of the ending if you'd like to read & you can tell me what you think if you'd like & you can tell me yours too if you'd like 😀

[@TheChaosverein]

@@ElizabethMcQMusic i hate this argumentation so much. " A lot arent getting it". Trust me, they do. There are reasons to like it, there are reasons to hate it. But thinking players hated the game, just beacuse they couldnt grasp it, is just dumb.

[@asuna3008]

@@TheChaosverein it's obvious that most people aren't getting it, they just wanted to kill abby and end everything. they just say "this ruined the game", but they don't see how ellie wanted to finish the violence circle

[@TheChaosverein]

@@asuna3008 She ended the cycle by killing like 200 people who had nothing to do with that. I get that this game is about forgiveness and all that,but the gameplay just doesnt match that.

[@Lightly_Saltyago]

I completely agree. Some people are so angry about it. And Abby's voice actor getting death threats, whoa. Totally uncalled for. Also people saying it's "trash"...I mean that's just dramatic. I even watched a review on YT where someone said that Ellie was interesting in the first game, but is a one dimensional stereotype in the second game. I mean wow, it's like we weren't even playing the same game. They aged her up really well and her character's progression made a lot of sense to me. I feel like some people's opinions were formed before they even played, or they had certain expectations that weren't met, and thus were unable to even experience any of the detail and depth that this game really has. It's like, if you stop complaining about it for two seconds, and let it give you an experience, you might appreciate the amazing work that it is even if you disagree with the decisions made. lol

[@dreamzdziner8484]

Games are getting more serious than movies in this era. The level of details to those environments as well as character is beyond words. They are more like real than a game.

[@ghostofdeath663]

They're better it's quite obvious that 10+ game will have better written and better developed characters than just 2 hours movies lol

[@Davidman3976]

The problem is that sometimes they forget a videogame belongs to its own medium. A videogame isn't a movie and should never be. That leads to highly scripted games like this that aren't really very fun to play and aren't replayable at all. TLOU2 is more an interactive movie than a videogame.

[@valeryvelez4624]

[@__keys]

No one is confused on that point. Many movies and games have done this before, it's not a new concept. They simply did it poorly.

[@christiant.g.994]

I've never before felt such an emotional exhaustion after finishing a game. Still not finished processing it, but regardless I'm happy I played it. It's something truly unique and I'm sure many developers will draw inspiration from it for years to come in spite of its truly polarized reception. Too many AAA games try to cater to the audience, I'm glad they had their own vision and stuck to it.

[@titaa56]

Yes, this stays with you like a tattoo on your skin. It’s very haunting in a good bad up and down and all crazy sort of way. Kinda incredible how a game can elicit such crazy emotions out of you!! I think this is proof that this game was a low key very successful accomplishment, even though we may hate sooooooo much things in it!! This game is a masterpiece. There’s no other way of putting it. Now I feel like Ellie, I don’t sleep..I can’t eat.. I’m just haunted and still want some more..I need to go back to that world

It was a week after I finished it where I just thought about it and went through all the different things that happened and what they might have meant. Then I decided I needed to play again.

I personally hated killing the dogs. I didn't have to, but I was struggling with getting by. I managed to spare a few dogs during the game and get them to stop tracking me down, but I think I killed most of them because of my lack of bottles or anything to throw to knock them off of my track. Did they deserve to die? Nope, they didn't. If I ever play this game again, it'll be my goal to get around without killing the dogs.

And it is safe to say, that I bawled my eyes out playing this and I never cry.

The fact that this game made us all feel some type of way about it regardless if it was good or bad shows that ND did there job me personally i enjoyed the game i loved it if I'm gonna be honest with you i think the 2nd game better then the first the way this game made me feel at end pissed me off because for a few days i felt empty didn't play the game in general for a few days the game made me really feel empty and i never felt that playing a game i was trying to rap my head around the way i felt this game is beautiful and this is 100% the most beautiful game i ever played a game I'll never forget

Telltale: Main character like a freaking Npc Naughty dog: Main character you

[@notsofia5675]

Omg right!?

[@shanustheanus]

@@notsofia5675 glad you asked. Wrong. Try booting up a telltale game, any telltale game, and not playing it and get to the ending of the game that way. Both the last of us and the walking dead independently, are narratively linear, they both have cut scenes with parts to explore inbetween. Infact, the walking dead can get you different endings based on player choice, where the last of us and uncharted cant. I prefer naughty dogs play style to telltale, but this argument makes no sense at all.

this stays with you like a tattoo on your skin. It’s very haunting in a good bad up and down and all crazy sort of way. Kinda incredible how a game can elicit such crazy emotions out of you and you STILL can’t get it out of your mind!! I think this is proof that this game was a low key very successful accomplishment, even though we may hate sooooooo much things in it!! This game is a masterpiece. There’s no other way of putting it. Now I feel like Ellie, I don’t sleep..I can’t eat.. I’m just haunted and still want some more..I need to go back to that world

[@naramurasaki]

It was all fun and laughs until the song started up. Knowing what I know now, after having beaten Part II, I'm bawling. Ashley and Troy have incredible voices. I'm still caught off-guard by how well Ashley sings, even though I know her normal speaking voice is beautiful. And with Troy being a musician originally, it's amazing hearing him be able to carry Joel into a song. Phenomenal cast.

Whether the actor playing Lev is trans or not is irrelevant, it's more of a "oh, that's neat" aspect when you find out about it. ND still portrayed trans people positively here, anything else is beside the point

Lev is not trans in the game. They force Lev to be a girl isn't it? He was forced to marry someone in the game

[@gonlyhlpz]

It took me sometime to analyse and understand the heap of emotions I experienced for the past one week ever since I started playing this masterpiece. I have been playing video games for more than 20 years now. All these years I have enjoyed all type of games but I haven't experienced such a deep and profound video game experience ever before. Naughty dog have really taken the narrative driven video game genre to another level, this is the first time in the history of video games where a game have completely resolved the problem of ludonarrative dissonance which we often associate with narrative driven video games. (SPOILERS AHEAD) In my humble opinion last of us 2 even surpassed the original last of us. This time the story is more creepy, dynamic and scary. Most of the video game developers nowadays don't take story in video games seriously, they simply put stories in their games just for the sake of putting it, as a result you would end up getting an Amateurish, and outright silly stories in almost all of the video games. It's always a challenge for developers to blend a mature story with gameplay elements which an average gamer might expect,since both are conflicting in nature, some of the developers have tried and ended up failing miserably on both the fronts. But naughty dog took bold steps to resolve this age old conflict and I can very well say that they came out with flying colors. I have finished the game in survivor mode and the gameplay experience was very challenging and satisfying at the same time. And the story is something which is worthy of a Netflix series on its own, throughout the game i often wondered am I really playing a video game?? That's how matured, deep and dynamic the story was. Even while playing with the NPC as your allies, the conversation which they have between themselves sounds quite natural and genuine and it doesn't feel forced, its pretty apparent that developers didn't take any aspects of the game lightly. Despite unanimous approval from all of the reviewers some of the users are disappointed with this game and it's story, it happens mainly because of the fact that most of the average gamer haven't experienced such a deep dynamic story and character arcs in a video game ever before. All they want is some straight to the point simple average story. Naughty dog knowingly took the bold risk of choosing a story which will divide the fan base into two and yes it actually divided the fan base, and it's fine as a video game need not satisfy all of the gamers out there, and I completely understand why some people don't like it. Most of the fans of the first game got emotionally attached to protagonist of the first game Joel, and they didn't like the fact that their favourite character died in the initial act of the story itself and the worst of all in the later part of the game they have to play as a character who killed Joel. But the main reason behind that idea was to understand different perspectives and for me personally it really worked, I started liking Abby over the course of the game, yes,at certain parts it was challenging for me, especially in the part where she had to fight with Ellie, but if you remove your unconscious emotional bias towards certain characters and play the game mainly for the sheer experience of it,then this game rewards you with a profound, real experience which you wouldn't have experienced in any other video games before. It's been a while since I finished this game but i feel somehow sad and empty ever since. No other video game have impacted me this much. Does it make this a perfect game?? the answer is "NO" but the game flaws can be forgiven and it's shortcomings can be ignored,since what you are playing is not some other random crap, it's a genre defining Experience which will inspire many more developers to take this route and this gem will be remembered as one of the greatest achievement in the history of video games. 5/5.

[@jochemcorstens1101]

Amazing breakdown. You absolutely nailed it here! As a big fan of Joel myself, I was absolutely gutted throughout the story of the game and rooting for Ellie to kill Abby. However, the perspective of the 'enemy' was really refreshing to experience and made me actually think about daily life and real life events. At the end I still hated Abby for what she's done, but this time around it was also with some awe because of her personal story. And made me realise that Ellie at the end of the game, was exactly what Joe was at the end of the First game: a protagonist who made us feel like every choice, ethically justified or not, was the right one.

[@J.8_909]

In a way it feels like Joel was the enemy. But we think he’s the good guy because we played as him and know his story but we don’t know the stories of the hundreds of people that he killed.

This story took our expectations of Joel and Ellie and flipped it, folded it and creased it like origami paper. It made us mad as hell but showed us that characters change over the years into complete different people. That’s the mark of a good telling of a story.

[@marcileatherboots1]

Joel's presence in Part 2 is huge. If you honestly think Joel isn't in the game that much, then either: a) you never played it, or b) the entire narrative went over your head. The entire game (Ellie's side) is about Joel, from the good times first arriving in Jackson, to realizing (admitting to herself) he lied to her, to her hating him, to feeling guilty about hating him, to the rage she felt for Joel taking away her from the Fireflies and no cure, to trying to find a way to avenge Joel, to finally coming to terms with what he did, forgiving him, and putting him as a positive memory as she goes off to find something to fight for.
