No return-Grounded/Joel vs Rat king-The Last of Us Part II Remastered

[@BigDexMedia]

Watching Joel gameplay in The Last of Us Part 2 shows that you can never truly kill a character as they will be revived in another form

[@nightowl7261]

Nah. Its just Neil Drunkman trying to get people to go buy his games again. (And it did work for him because people did buy the game again.... *but not me.* )

The run was a little bit scuffed but i thought it was fun to watch so i uploaded it.Enjoy!

i think i mentioned in another one of your videos but you really need to try gyro aiming. you can boost your accuracy enormously.

[@KOSHPARZ]

@@trs8696 Yah it was pretty scuffed. If i miss a single shot running around strategically like a navy seal, i’ll die. It must be the trip plan thing, Idk theres something up with some guys HP & zombie health. Must be an experience thing.

[@misterjiggles5041]

I love that it wasn't perfect.

[@leBIGTROLLL]

Couldn't naughty dog like, afford to animate a proper rig for the male characters instead of just changing the skin from Abby's model? It gives me a lot of uncanny valley looking at him running, lol

[@Wedge_The_Almighty]

Your answer is no. Unfortunately, animation movesets are really hard to make. It requires them to design a new play style different from Abby and Ellie (and even Joel’s part 1 version) that works fluidly. Then, get a mocap actor(s) to run through a course and record fight animations and gun animations (and whatever else) that work with the Part 2 Joel model and all of it’s quirks and stuff. Not to mention the height difference will disable Joel from being able to use a few mechanics (can be seen on PS4 mod for Joel where him being taller can stop him from using melee, go through tight spaces and puts him in weird spaces in cutscenes.) All that for one character. And this mode was literally just a cash grab. Wouldn’t have been worth it in their eyes… Not even to give them their own backpacks.

[@samwallaceart288]

If only they could've ported in the mocap from Part 1.

[@eloverlord96]

I really just wish I could use a fucking mouse with this game though. There was a time I was better with a controller than mouse but that was many years ago and somehow it feels like skill with a controller can be way more fleeting than with a mouse.

[@Ace_Games]

You've honestly inspired me to make my own No Return videos! Of course I could never do it on grounded I just stick with hard lol

[@Motherofdragons4780]

I love watching and making No Return videos!!!! I recently completed my first run on grounded as a blind player. It was stressful as hell, but it was a really fun challenge! Finishing the daily run on grounded is the last trophy for No Return I need, and it's super hard! The infected on grounded is always my downfall! Right now I'm doing custom runs ungrounded, and I think I need to work my way up to standard runs because that's basically what the daily run is. The other issue I have is I'm terrible at the Bloaters! Even on very light I struggled for quite a while, so I definitely get nervous with the daily runs because you never know what the boss is. I know I'm going to fail if it's the arcade or the garage. I do OK with the Rat King sometimes, and it's actually my favorite boss. The one I've been able to beat on grounded is the Seraphite elite, and even that had my heart racing! Watching these always gives me the motivation to try again! I'm always afraid to use the pipe bombs because sometimes I use them when it's too close and I end up blowing myself up. Same with the explosive arrows. I really wish Joel could dodge. I love playing as Joel, but I'm afraid to try a run on grounded with him because of the fact that he can't dodge.

[@akilkotamarti1000]

I don't know if it's poetic or ironic that Joel uses Abby's animations.

Yeah that’s pretty lazy honestly. Especially charging money for the update. When they had Joel’s combat from TLOU part 1, like port that over or something.

[@everettenjeze6276]

@@BrandonGavin_EDCthe character rig for last of us 1 will not match last of us 2 character rigs. The animations and mechanics of last of us 1 are different to last of us 2 because of the new mechanics in part 2. You would basically need to create a whole new character at that point.

[@hanselgretel6667]

I mean, insomniac and Sony Santa Monica don't use matching animations cus they never need more than the two playable characters in their games in a remastered game made by a very small amount of people (20 according to the credits) who don't have access to actors and motion capture rigs. Honestly they did the best with what they could and without draining resources from what ND should be focusing on, their next single player game.

@@everettenjeze6276 makes sense then I just figured with Part 1 they may be able to use it somehow.
