First Time Playing The Last of Us | Full Playthrough

[@mr88nyc]

I really love that you guys don’t play games with a live chat. We get to actually watch you experience the game with your full attention, which is much more fun to watch.

[@JasonRogue]

We collectively chose to not stream this game. For one, moderating the chat was going to be a nightmare, as well as trying to control backseat gamers. 2, this game requires your full attention during stealth. 3, a lot of exploration will be involved and a lot of viewers would not want to wait 10 minutes of them looting and checking around for ammo, and materials.

[@kyledepaepe194]

The scene where Sarah dies, from interviews with the actors for Joel and Sarah (Troy Baker and Hana Hayes), Neil, who directed the game, made them redo that scene over and over and over again. Troy had mentally prepped for a week to do this scene and was far more loudly emotional with his acting and Hana, who was like 11 at the time, dug up memories of her grandfather dying and used them to get into the mindset to play that part. Over and over and over again. After 9 takes, they got a take. And then 2 weeks later, Neil called them up and said they were reshooting a scene. And with a look, Troy knew instantly which scene it was. And they reshot it over and over again. And finally, they truly got it. If anyone ever says being a voice actor is easy work, I point to this scene and ask how long would it be before they threw their hands up and walked away? I could never do it. A scene like that, no way.

[@viktorvondoom5950]

Voice acting is an art. It is a skill that deserves more recognition. Anyone who says otherwise have not tried dramatic readings or acting out plays

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Damn 😨 props to the actors for going through that emotional hell and for the director for knowing that they could give the perfect performance and not being satisfied with “good enough” 😯🤩

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

Correction, Troy was called in weeks later to do the scene one more time, and he acted the scene by immersing himself in how emotionally exhausted he was at that point, resulting in what we got, rather than just another emotional breakdown.

Troy Baker's acting in this game is phenomenal! The beginning is just haunting how well he shows the hopeless despair in his voice when Sarah dies gets me every time. Both Troy and Hana play that amazingly and I will never not cry to that scene. The rest of the game with Ashley Johnson is just amazing too. Ashley's easily one of the best voice actors out there with Troy Baker.

I really like that melancholy ending as it really reflects that for Ellie she wanted more out of this, that all of this wasn't for nothing after all the loss she endured. She was prepared to pay the ultimate price, but not Joel, he wasn't going to lose someone again. Ellie knew Joel was hiding something, and I like that the ending ends in that way where in Ellie's eyes you can still see doubt.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

It would’ve been interesting to see what she would’ve chosen if given the choice. Neither fireflies or Joel gave it to her in the end. 😢

[@Hydra360ci]

...she was unconcious since the drowning. She wasn't ready for anything.and has no clue what happened or what the price was. Even in Part 2.... She has no clue what happened to Marlene, nor what Abby was all about. And Joel (or rather Neil) never did tell her what happened, he just let her speculate what happened from a partial cassette tape. Nor did they even touch on if the Firefly surgeon could actually do, what he thought he could do. Or if a world that far gone could even be saved. Do you really think an organization would just give out the cure...even if they could produce one? (look towards the scars (seraphites) to see what kind of world they live in, now... That group started as Pacifists....

[@wyattchandler6359]

@@Hydra360ci I completely agree. How could Joel even give her a choice? It was the Fireflies who didn't wait for her to wake up. It was them who took Ellies choice away. And they wouldn't even let Joel say goodbye. They did some tests for only a couple hours and then they decided to cut Ellie open. In audio logs and notes that you can find in LoU 1 and 2 its clearly shown that Jerry, the doctor who was so eager to kill Ellie rather than study her for longer, has no idea why Ellie is immune but that "We must find a way to replicate this under laboratory conditions." Maybe Joel should have told her sooner but she must have serious survivors guilt and it would probably make her want to kill herself. Joel did the right thing and saved an amazing 14 year old girl from dying a needless death.

[@spiraljumper74]

@@Hydra360ci Stop trying to logic your way out of the moral dilemma, it’s cowardly and makes Joel a worse character. The only way for his choice to mean anything is if the cure would’ve worked. It wouldn’t have magically put the world back together, but maybe it would’ve made it so that every bite, every little mistake, wasn’t a death sentence. It would’ve meant Riley wouldn’t have had to die. And if you don’t think that she was at the forefront of Ellie’s mind when she learned that an actual chance at the cure was wasted due to Joel’s outburst, you’re wrong. In universe the vaccine would’ve worked, the Fireflies could’ve used it to negotiate a democratic settlement with FEDRA, it might’ve formed the basis for a new centralized government and an end to QZ warlords. Abby’s father thought he could synthesize a cure, he was sure as he needed to be to kill a literal child over it, and from everything we see he was both a caring and empathetic individual as well as the father of a young woman, he would not make such a choice lightly. Were the fireflies dicks about it? Absofuckinglutely, Marlene’s conduct was insanely confrontational and if that one soldier marching Joel out hadn’t been such a prick, Joel straight up might’ve just left.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

Ellie is a kid. She didn't get to know that many people to begin with, so losing that many weighs so much heavier. She wanted to die, out of survivor's guilt. Joel looked at it from the other side. He recognized that she's still just a kid, and that, in his view, she deserved a chance to defeat that guilt and experience happiness. So he decided for her and went back to Tommy's. Survivor's guilt is somewhat similar to clinical depression in how it affects people. And the general consensus, in those cases, is that people who suffer such an affliction are not in a clear state of mind.

interesting playthrough. but, keep in mind that listen mode is not a radar or anything futuristic. it is actually your character listening more focused and it's there to visualize the hearing of your character for you. because transmitting audio in a digital medium has the limitation of preventing you to be able to locate the direction of the sound beyond left and right (stereo), which is something that humans can do in real world, when you hear something you will detect which direction that sound is coming from, but in digital medium you don't have that ability, unless you're using a sophisticated surround sound system which not everyone has it. that's why they created the listen mode to emulate the real world hearing capabilites of humans. and as it is not a radar or a futuristic thing, it can not detect anything that has no sound, therefore in many situations where there are enemies in the environment but they don't make any sound, using listen mode does not show you anything which is in line with how your hearing works in real life.

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

I 100% recommend playing Part II. It’s an incredible story that challenges the players maturity it makes you see things in different perspectives and forces you to confront different ideas you normally wouldn’t. It has flaws yes but people who claim the game is “terrible” are extremely closed minded when it comes to the game itself. You probably already know but before Part II was released it had a massive story leak that enraged everyone the game was massively hated, it was review bombed, and boycotted all before it even came out. There are people who’ve played it entirely and didn’t like it but honestly the majority of people who hate on Part II either never finished the game or they didn’t even play it at all.

I'm about 7 hours in watching the vid and there are some minor annoyances. You seem to have some habits that make the game unneccesarily more difficult. You don't - read the tutorials (finding new weapons or variants of) and craft them (lead pipe-shiv combo for example) - don't use the molotov (could ignite multiple enemies at once, especially in combo with a distraction brick or glass) - seemingly not notice stuff lying at your feet that could be picked up - Don't pick up multiple things at once by holding down the button (can't remember if the game actually says this is possbile) - walk away from npcs when there's expostition playing i.e they're telling you something. You miss out on important or visually interesting stuff like this just to go pick up loot - scan the your surroundings properly. Some times you're so focussed on a cone in front you and disregard the other 270° around you. The library fights for example where you get frustrated thinking someone in front shouldn't be able to see you when you've totally ignored the areas behind you. That's just off the top of my head. I'm not expecting meta plays or 360 no-scope action btw. It's just a bit frustrating to watch, especially when it means whole sections being done over and over again.

About The Last of Us Part 2, it's a lot darker of a story than this one. It's a great story if you can get past certain absolutely horrific moments and understand the underlying theme. It made so many people have inner conflicts with their own moral compass, but at the end of the day the last of us is about human emotions and real human situations; that happen to take place in an apocalypse setting.

[@adam95917]

Very entertaining reactions but I did have issues with complaining about the game’s difficulty makes no sense, everything about the difficulty can be fine tuned from enemy ai to how easy you find resources and even how hard it is to aim. Everything is customizable and if you don’t like dying so much or think certain things are too hard all those settings can be tuned at anytime in the game. Though most of your issues came from a lack of understanding the mechanics such as the Ellie section, she is bad at melee but she is faster than Joel and much better at stealth and she can down clickers with her knife that never breaks making them trivial instead of difficult with Joel. You just have to identify their strengths. All said great video I appreciate your work ❤

[@TukaihaHithlec]

With molotovs being one of the best weapons in the game, able to kill a bloater with only 1 or 2, or easily 4+ lesser infected including clickers, I’m amazed so many players go to such extreme lengths to avoid using them. No offence intended, as a high percentage of players do this, but I wonder what leads people to do that. In this particular case, molotovs are first introduced with ideal conditions to use them but aren’t, cloth and alcohol are left just to avoid making them, a molotov specific hunter type demonstrates their efficacy but is ignored, and nail bombs are used up and ammo wasted despite their rarity while molotovs go unused. If anyone happens to have a genuine answer I’d love to hear it.

[@greatgatorgaming6024]

It likely has something to do with the fact that the molotovs use the same resources as the medkits so newer and/or less confident players are probably gonna lean more towards the one that can fix their mistakes rather than the one that’s not necessarily guaranteed to get get good value. It also tends to be difficult to get good value out of molotovs outside of bloater fights which the game never mentions how effective fire is against them. The enemies (especially humans) don’t tend to group up enough to get molotov multikills except for in scripted events which new players are unlikely to recognize before the enemies start moving around. Usually in the lower difficulties that new players are gonna be in, the healing is gonna be more valuable than getting a single kill that can easily be done with the plenty of bullets given.

[@TukaihaHithlec]

@@greatgatorgaming6024 I think I get what you’re saying, but if you’re full on medkits, full on rags and alcohol, there’s more on the ground in front of you, but you’re not full on molotovs, why not make a molotov and pick up the materials? Is it just not thinking it through? As for fire on infected, when you first get to the subway area filled with clickers and runners, it gives you molotovs and bottles. Bottles are louder than bricks and every infected that hears it (unlike only one in a group of humans) will run to the source of the sound (unlike just until the source is in eyesight with humans). You can lure several with one bottle and burn them all with one molotov, but then even more infected hear the molotov and come running to catch on fire. You can clear almost the entire subway area with one bottle and molotov like that and I assumed that’s what it wanted me to do on my first try, so it’s confusing why no one else got that impression.

Marlene wasn't wrong, and no one would need to ask Ellie if she would prefer to die because Ellie herself wouldn't mind dying to give/be the cure, she has survivor's guilt, this is very clear in her last dialogue with Joel at the end of the game, which is also why she doubts whether Joel is really telling the truth

[@Biggiiful]

Marlene was objectively wrong. Nor only did she not ask for consent before killing a 14 year old girl, but they had ALREADY been killing other immune people with the same goal in mind. They had been failing to find a cure. There was no reason to think Ellie would have been "the one." The game has notes you find in the hospital that tell you this. Also, even IF they created a vaccine for cordyceps, that wouldn't "save the world." First, there is no means of mass producing and transporting the vaccine. 2nd, the vaccine wouldn't do anything but stop new infections. While helpful, it wouldn't eliminate all the infected that can still kill and eat people, and it wouldn't provide humans with anymore resources or food. So uou would still be living in a post apocalyptic environment with monsters that try to eat you, an other humans that try to kill, steal and also eat you. Marlene was wrong.

[@sonicartzldesignerclan5763]

So yeah, looking forward to you playing the second game. Great vid as always 👍 keep em coming!

[@malcolmshanks8212]

Never seen you guys play a game so cautious and carefully. Great content

[@Smiley-ps1yc]

WOW ! i just can't believe they ended the game using the bomb or molotovs atleast once or twice, i mean they didn't even using any dodging to avoid melee attacks, Not even once ! i mean that's kinda.. bad ass i guess😳

[@annamuller9457]

Thanks for this video, i enjoyed it very much. It was very interesting to see how the two of you reacted to the story, especially that scene where joel got hurt so badly. I cried so hard during that scene and really thought he would die. Stopped playing for like a whole week. And when it switched to only Ellie and this winter setting i played sobbing...It seems you guys weren‘t that concerned. I‘m looking forward to see your video to part 2 , that was even tougher to play for me. Its great that you play on the sofa as a couple, love that idea and just listening to your perspectives on the game. :))

[@EldritchSama]

This game is a masterpiece, everyone should experience it once in their life

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

Agreed 🤩

[@kazuhiramiller1996]

The 20 year time jump is a masterclass in storytelling. In the world 20 years have passed, but for us (the player) Sarah's death only happened a few minutes ago. And that is how it feels to Joel all the time and that is why he does what he does in the end!

Make sure to get and play the DLC, Left Behind...before playing Part II

[@amandawesterfield7447]

I'm glad I found your channel. It's awesome that you guys play together. Just a few tips for ya incase you play again or play part 2. Clickers can be killed by headshots from guns. Molotovs are very useful for all enemies, especially when they are grouped together. Try to always keep a shiv on you for the shiv doors. There is an abundance of resources in those rooms. Always check everything and everywhere many resources you will find, which you need to level up in the game. Hope this helps for next time.

[@tedgonzalez985]

Always love it when Ken says "SLEEP" whenever he chokes out an enemy. XD

[@jasminelast-name6985]

I literally can't wait until y'all play part II

😅🙂

[@Shaun72]

Enjoyed your playthrough guys. Can't imagine how long this took to upload (if in one chunk). It would take me about 2 weeks with my broadband 🫤 Look forward to watch you both play part 2. I've been playing this game for nearly 10 years, didn't think they needed a sequel but I'm so glad they did, I love it equally as part one. Try not to listen to the hate or the love for that matter, just play it for yourselves. It's a tougher emotional rollercoaster but please stay on the ride. You both seem so familiar... had to check if you were actors ✔️ I really thought I'd seen you both in something but I don't recognised any of your filmography ? ? .. weird. Bethany does kinda remind me of a younger version of the actor Annie Wersching (Tess). ✌️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@walirehman7088]

Hello you both are amazing great gameplay I really enjoyed the whole video I'm your new subscriber😊

[@walirehman7088]

Pls play the last of us part 2

[@colonelb]

The ending is brilliant and it's only at the end when you realize what the story is ACTUALLY about. They should have given Ellie the choice, but the doctors were too scared that she'd say no, just as Joel was too scared she'd say yes, and neither were willing to take that chance. But I don't think there's a parent out there that would say "sure go ahead" which makes it a "selfish choice" in a way but one that we'd all make in the same situation. I also liked the point you made of how the hope that they could use her brain to make a vaccine was far from a guarantee, so even had Ellie said yes, there was a high likelihood that it would haven't worked and her sacrifice would have been for nothing. One of the first questions I had with her immunity was, "is her immunity something that she would pass along to her children?" and that could open up the door for her to have a kid and get put into the same situation that Joel was put in for very much the same reason which would be an interesting catharsis for both Ellie and Joel. Regarding part 2, they went a different way and I think they did a really good job on telling the story that they wanted to tell with part 2, I just think they missed a neat opportunity there, but maybe they'll do a part 3 and do that story someday. Cheers

[@JustSomeGuywithEpicGrasses]

Part II was hilariously poor in its writing. Don't lie.

[@jhornacek]

Ellie literally has no choice here. If the Fireflies had told her everything and said "it's up to you" what if Ellie had said "no"? Do you really think the Fireflies would have accepted that and let her leave? No way - they would have forced her to go through with the surgery anyway. They have spent 20 years working on a vaccine, they are not going to let the only immune person just leave and take the vaccine with them. So there was no point for the Fireflies to offer Ellie this choice since they were always going to go through with the surgery.

[@holymosey2556]

Yo the reaction to Joel's face getting split by the bloater! 😩😂

[@themostunknown2293]

Looking forward to seeing your playthrough of "Left Behind" the DLC for part 1, Last of US 2 was a master piece in its self they play a diff game with your emotions but a very well written game. Don't let anyone tell you its not a good game, that would be the people that never gave it a try and put in the hours of playing it. When you put in the hours it just hits different and its a great game in its own how it makes you feel. Looking forward to seeing them if you play the DLC and Part 2!

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

For sure going to play both. Not sure when we will get to part 2 but the DLC will come sooner 😅

[@michcookies]

You play it so well for a first timer! I ended up dropping down to easy when I was hanging upside down, I was a terrible shot and not used to the buttons (I’m more of an animal crossing gal). This is a game I wish I could play for the first time again! I’m working my way through the difficulties, I’m halfway through normal plus. It’s on ps4, and I told myself if I completed it at all I’d treat myself to a ps5, and seeing the difference in graphic just convinced me to actually go and get it and play it fresh.

[@PattyMcqG]

At the university, Ellie asked about them taking blood & commented about getting immunizations at her school. A shot or taking blood is a far cry from death. The last scene mirrored him running with Sara.

[@Ryenyethescienceguy]

What a great game guys. Sorry I had to bail on your alien livestream last night. I caught the video, it was awesome! Love from Maryland

You really need to play part 2 now! Seriously you will either love it or absolutely hate it! I have to admit when I first played part 2 I was upset, depressed and angry with how it goes haha

[@Gr13fM4ch1n3]

Good on you for giving it a chance. I hated the game for a solid two years before opening up to it.

[@hcd05]

It is divisive indeed but I just did not feel engaged with it at all. So I was upset that so many years in waiting ended up in a story that I wasn't interested in. I think they shot very high and didn't stick the landing. It certainly has it's beautiful moments, mainly the flashbacks, but otherwise tells a story I'm completely uninterested in.

[@heythenameiselliott2673]

@@hcd05 yeah I agree! I mean I enjoyed it and the story was great but the main thing that annoyed me was playing as Abby, and seeing all her friends who I didn’t care for, if anything I gave me joy to watch them suffer from the hands of Ellie but still they could have added more with Ellie and Tommy instead of focusing on Abby so much. Her story could have been explained in a few cutscene

[@ThatFuckinGame]

@@hcd05 if you took the flashbacks as the best parts of tlou2 then you clearly are fixed and biased towards the first game. you wanted fanservice. although the flashbacks are beautiful, they are not even the most interesting parts, they are certainly touching to remember TLOU1 but there is clearly a bias if you take the best of the game from that.

In the last of us, is when you take attention on this strange background sound before the bääng sound when they see you thats the warnung sign that you should hide. So you know it for the last of us 2 when you are going to play it bc this game is even scarier and more difficult

Am I having a mandella effect moment? I specifically remember them having a hard time and constantly dying in certain parts. The part that made me make this comment was the part where Joel is upside down and Ellie has to cut the fridge rope. I remember specifically them dying constantly to the clickers....yet now they're breezing through it.

[@bobcarter6869]

I really love watching people play this game for the first time I feel like I'm playing it myself for the first time all over again such a great game

[@XUCANA2025]

hello, The acting in this game is better than alot of movies and tv shows. thanks

[@ThraxxMediaOfficial]

Oof, this is another big one 😯 very much appreciated; I do have a slight suggestion for future videos like these though: both the 11 and now 18 hours are really, _really_ long for a single video to come back to. Naturally, people won't be sitting through all of it in one evening. Chances are, they take it in several pieces spread out over a week or two... and then might not even be able to remember where exactly they left off. It's also a bit harder (from a psychological point of view) to determine for yourself when to stop - because obviously, as long as there's still playtime left on the video, you're inclined to wanna keep watching. Soo... would it be possible if these could be split into chunks of about maybe 2-4 hours, and then put into a playlist perhaps? The experience would still be intact, just in a way more comfortable to digest format. Just a suggestion though :) if you personally like it better this way, don't worry about it.

[@xliv2sk8x90]

Any mature, sensible, adult will agree that the last of us part 2 is a masterpiece in storytelling. It is a big upgrade in gameplay, graphical quality, and acting. It’s a rough ride emotionally and makes you reflect on deep themes of love, revenge, regret, and loss.

[@altec3600]

@ creator of the video: an example of what I mean. Just play it and form your own opinion on it without being influenced by positive or negative reviews.

[@atotallyradtitan802]

I always said that it was masterfully crafted, but not something I want to buy, play and am comfortable enough watching everyone else's reactions. I'm fine with just the first game.

@@taylormoreira1266 The whole point of the game is that revenge is bad and leads to an endless cycle of violence. Good job spoiling the story in the comments though.

Regarding the doctor and the 2 nurses at the end of the game, you are forced to kill the doctor even if you don't shoot him. If you walk close enough to him you will grab his scalpel and stab him with it.
