Everything GREAT About The Last of Us: Left Behind!

[@Endgame_01]

No win for Ellie calling forward to her birthday trip with Joel by asking if it's a dinosaur? Come on

[@GamingWins]

Kinda what i was getting at 🤭

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

I would have liked a similar DLC for TLoU 2 that covered the days leading up to Lev and Yara's escape from the Seraphites. They could have even had a moment where Lev is looking in a cracked mirror and the player has to move their finger across the touchpad to have Lev shave his head. And with every stroke of the razor, the camera angle moves in tighter until Lev's reflection is only show in the undamaged portion of the mirror, symbolizing that by embracing his true self, Lev is now "whole".

[@cobrabear6497]

Oh my god yes

[@caimanaraujo479]

Imo, that would be trying too hard. People don't need these kinds of visual references to understand what goes through the characters mind. A close up showing his facial expressions would be better imo. Obviously, thats just my opinion, and your idea isnt BAD to me, just too much.

[@crumblyairship]

that'd be dope

[@nerdygal6133]

That would be beautiful.

Bullshit

[@doktor3196]

Showcased Ellie's courage, knowledge, and skills obtained from Joel while going at it alone. She is dedicated to keep him alive. I played it on ground mode and that last section where I have to fight waves of enemies alone was quite possibly the most difficult gameplay I've done in my life till this day. It took me like 5 days to get the pattern down.

[@claytonmichael2502]

7:21 it’s so amazing that playing part 2 and replaying the first game and Ellie asking Riley if she found dinosaurs and knowing as the player that Joel gave her the best birthday in her life taking her to see some

[@Hazza323]

One small little detail there is a note from Elies mother in her backpack, it goes into some small details about the fireflies and just really nice that Ellie has a small peice of her mum ♥️

[@shyranhilaw4352]

My older brother bought me a PS3 for Christmas one year and this game was included. At first I wasn’t interested, but I gave it a chance and I’m glad that I did. I’ll never forget the emotional rollercoaster I was on while playing the story because originally I didn’t think I would enjoy it. As a fan I think the HBO show is doing an excellent job so far and I can’t wait to see more!

[@Endgame_01]

I've often wondered if Ellie's immunity is due to something special about her physiology, some kind of mutation on the part of the runner who bit her or some combination of factors. Marlene mentioned that the cordyceps inside Ellie had mutated. The cordyceps, not something specific to Ellie

[@PaulyRules]

Some people think that her mom got bit when she was giving birth to Ellie somehow and they may bring it up in the show

[@frankv42]

she is just so gay the virus couldnt handle it

[@benapeh854]

​@@PaulyRulesThat's exactly what happens in the show

[@Mypenisissmallbut]

Well actually it says she has the virus, but her immune system isn’t reacting to it. Highly likely she is just infected with a different cordyceps fungus, the doctors test isn’t specific enough.

[@BuddyCroft]

Also you do see ellie get bit, like 3 seconds after the infected gets on her. Her arm starts bleeding right after it's in the runners mouth.

[@strikerecho2592]

Recently finished this DLC, albeit in TLOU Remastered, and it’s probably some of the best 2 hrs I’ve had in gaming. Everything about Ellie and Riley’s relationship, to the former’s desperation to help Joel, and having both the infected and humans fight one another during gameplay was such a treat. Even if it ends on a somber note. 😢

[@misslittlepumkin9886]

I remeber when this DLC came out and 8-bitryan played it, i screamed and giggled when i saw riley and ellie kiss because i had a feeling they'd be together when the game first opened up. I loved The last of us, DLC and part 2 despite peoples mixed opinions on the second one, i also love HBO or here in Australia Binge TLOU show. Im enjoying it so far just as i use to enjoy watching KZbinrs play the games and make them in to a mini series.

[@matthewmcshane399]

u should totally do more videos on great video game story DLCs.

[@crdog4009]

the reign of king washington would be cool for AC3 seeing how he did that earlier

[@jorgecastillo2391]

One thing I see absolutely no one mention is that this dlc of a love story came out on Valentine’s Day. I like to think that this story takes place on that day but sadly It didn’t. When we cut to Joel, the subtext says “summer” so that’s may at the very earliest. Then we meet Ellie and she says her bite is 3 weeks old so the dlc took place early April the absolute earliest. Btw we can see the very second the runner bit Ellie. She was holding it off with palms at the shoulders and for a second, she used her forearm to block it and that’s when she got bit. It oddly wasn’t shown in this video but watch the scene unedited and it’s there.

[@Rougeification]

I think it's called Left Behind because, as Ellie says ( *SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS* ) "I'm still waiting for my turn". She came to terms with the fact she was going to turn and then... didn't. She had to keep on living. We don't even see what happened to Riley - Ellie is Left Behind to carry on. It's survivor's guilt, through and through.

[@chambeet]

Beating the final battle of this on Grounded for the first time with absolutely no checkpoints was ROUGH.

[@mitchgunnerson2507]

I actually really like the duality of the last of us part 1 & 2. The first game was about love, the second was the mirror image of that about hate and the rage that drives Ellie, and she doesn’t get a happy ending she has to live with the consequences of her actions, and u think if they did a part 3 it would be about healing. We would play as an older Ellie and find a young boy that becomes her companion. Or at least that would be one cool way to make the games rhyme more yk

[@TrefferVLPeace]

But you also play as Abby in Part 2 and she doesn't face any consequences for her actions which kinda undercuts the whole theme

[@TarunKumar-vp6wi]

I dont like Abby but tbf she also lost all her friends ​@@TrefferVLPeace

[@TrefferVLPeace]

​@@TarunKumar-vp6wi True Abby lost her friends, but she also got a happy ending with Lev while Ellie lost everything. Also Abby killed and tortured Joel out of revenge for her own father who was a villain that wanted to rush an unconscious child into a fatal surgery to create a vaccine against a fungal infection (which as any doctor knows is impossible). And even though Ellie was on the same revenge kick as Abby, Ellie showed remorse when fighting Abby and was even visibly traumatized when she tortured Nora for information on Abby. Abby on the other hand took pleasure from torturing and killing Joel.

[@stegoshark5116]

I absolutely love this DLC and the show. The show is a perfect example of how to adapt a game. It is a perfect adaptation, keeping things the same while changing others. Watching episode 4 and seeing the Truck scene not only in the show, but exactly the same was amazing

[@mvlpix4419]

i really enjoy the tv show, but the one thing that bothers me so much is, that every dialogue they copied from the game feels so forced. idk like the whole car scene and the conversation in episode 4.. they’re trying too hard to copy the scene from the game, it just feels so unnatural

[@TarunKumar-vp6wi]

I made the mistake of watching the show before playing the game and spoiled the left behind dlc for me

a cool thing I saw in a play-through (I refuse to play it purely because it would stress me out too much) is that you can use the infected to fight the humans and vice versa. throw a brick or bottle in their direction, then attack each other. don't need to waist ammunition.

[@matt.ramosss]

That's gotta suck to know that your first love was your first kill. No wonder Ellie had such a hard time letting other people in after that.

I'm so curious about what you think about the HBO series! I'd love to see you do a video on it, but I guess it isn't really on brand :( oh well. I just finished my playthrough of the first game and left behind and I'm absolutely in love with it! You even brought up some things I didn't catch on to, which makes the game even more amazing! It's so subtle and subconscious and if you dig deep, you'll find plenty there.

[@lucatocalli6305]

Hi, i am from argentina and i remember your TLOU 1 video, and your win for sarah's t-shirt is kinda wrong, it IS a reference to argentina's national team but not just that, the number 14 and the name of sara's team are both a reference to an argentinean soccer player named Javier Mascherano, he wore the number 14 and he played as a defender, also he was one of Santaolalla's favorite players. not a critic, just an observation pls don't hate me

[@theunknownanomaly5006]

If I remember rightly if you pay really close attention you can actually see the infected bite both Ellie and Riley

Would you consider playing the Just Cause series? Just Cause 3 was one of the first open world games I ever played, and I've never forgot how much fun I had playing it.

[@alexpolisky4585]

I wasn’t the biggest fan of left behind. It was fun to play but the ending was a bit unsatisfying. One of the last lines of dialogue in part 1 is Ellie telling Joel what happens in left behind, and when I heard that I was wondering “omg did she have to kill Riley?” Then when I played the dlc I thought I would get the answer, but instead it left me wondering “omg did she have to kill Riley?” I get that they’re letting us fill in the blanks and make us ask questions, but it’s the same question that they made me ask before. That being said, while I was playing it I loved it. The ending just made it feel like filler, even though it absolutely should be more than that.

[@kittylemeu1373]

If you aren't stupid, you can usually put two and two together. The game shouldn't show you everything. You aren't a baby. Do the mental work yourself. It's literally minimal

[@alexpolisky4585]

@@kittylemeu1373 I did put 2 and 2 together, but I did that at the end of the base game. Since I had already guessed that Ellie would have to kill Riley, I thought the expansion of the game would expand on that idea. The dynamic of their relationship, though touching, only marginally alters how I perceived this event before I started the dlc. I don’t want to be shown everything, if Ellie didn’t already hint at what happened I would’ve loved left behind.

i literally bought the dlc today and just finished playing it, i had no idea it existed until last night. crazy timing!

[@LokiFops]

While we definitely seem to have differing opinions on the last of us part 2, as I really enjoyed the game, and saw its story as more of a reminder that actions have consequences than anything, as well as how you can tarnish the memory of those you love by pursuing something as petty as vengeance. However, I really agree with you on how left behind is the perfect little dlc to add to the story. I really wish we would have seen some of that for part 2, but sadly they focused their resources on the hbo show and the new mp, which I'm fine with, but I would have loved some extra time with the characters! Of course, the hbo show is absolutely beautiful, so it was definitely worth it. Episode 3 hit me especially hard, and made me sob for more than just it being sad. As a gay man you don't get to feel represented in media often, so when you are, it makes you really emotional. I just couldn't stop crying over how happy it made me, and how thankful I was that the last of us was basically becoming the definitive queer game series.

[@maytalacedo20]

I do think the graphics looks amazing the only gripe I have is they didn't give riley enough emotions like the original did since you feel for her in so many levels they just didn't give her enough expressions.

i used to hate TLoU2 until i actually played it. I saw Joels death and i was like "Bro wtf why did they do this" but when i played it i realised Joel had it coming for awhile and he knew it. It was his choice to stay with Ellie knowing the cost. As i played more as Abby i understood more and more why she did what she did and soon came to forgive here... almost forgive her. Moral of the story is dont judge something till you experience it.

[@heralds3164]

Your ending absolutely hit the nail on the head about what The Last of Us is. Everybody has their own opinions but to me The Last of Us Part 1 has always felt like a candle in the middle of a really dark, cold room. That despite the world gone to shit, there is always light. Especially, in the light that is love, though the power of love is terrifying at times. I never understood them why Part 2 strayed so far away from that fact, but hopefully we get a Part 3 to bring us back to that message. I absolutely love the HBO series and I’ve been pretty much telling everyone I know to watch it

[@EditedAF987]

I wouldn’t say they strayed from that fact, more so that they put it to the test. The candle is still lit in part 2, but it’s weaker against the far more oppressive backdrop of Part 2’s world. The wind makes it flicker constantly, and you start to wonder if it will ever survive. By the end of the game, it definitely feels like the flame has diminished when compared to how it used to be. But it’s still there. There’s still hope for it to grow again.

It's so interesting to see how within about an hour or 2 of game play, they managed to create a character that feels real and deep and makes you actually care for what happens to them, while in TLOU2 we spend multiple hours with some characters and yet you barely feel anything for them at the end.

[@nicolefrancom4351]

It's hard to feel empathy or relate to a character when your first interaction with them is smashing your favorite character you've known for longer in the head with a golf club lol.

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

Okay I’m sorry but I never let this slide, especially now as a studying game designer. This isn’t “really a remaster”, any game developer will know, this is a remake. The only assets in this game that came back from the original is the voices, the motion capture data and some of the sound effects. NOTHING else. Everything else was RE-MADE from scratch. That is literally by definition what a remake is. A remaster just ups the resolution and maybe updates some textures, it’s like turning the quality on a KZbin video up from 720 to 2K, that’s a remastering. Naughty Dog did a remaster of this game and that’s exactly what they did. The PS3 original and the Remaster are the same thing. This is not anywhere remotely the same. It is quite literally like comparing an amateur chef’s great tasting bolognese vs a michelin star chef’s take on it with fresher ingredients and better cooking. The ingredients are much better versions of the previous dish and they’re prepared with more finesse and the addition of secret ingredients that elevate the whole meal. A remaster is just like doing the exact same meal with the same ingredients but not overcooking the pasta and putting the right amount of salt and pepper on. Like that’s actually a correct analogy, it is that different and calling it a remaster isn’t just wrong (like factually and prescriptively), but also marginalizes the work the developers put into it. There’s a reason this remake requires an entire crew of its own, with creative and game directors, programmers and artists working with almost nothing but REFERENCE. You do call it a remake, but I heard you say remaster once and once is one time too many.
