my first proper gmv!! i've been thinking about this game for like a month and really felt the need to make a tribute for it! the parallels between abby and ellie + joel are just too good to be left unedited lol
if you aren't a fan of this game, then this really isn't the video for you btw, you should probably go watch some compilations of ellie killing abby instead maybe lol
i've been working on this video for a good 3 weeks and finally feel like i've done this song justice! if you've been one of my longtime subscribers you probably know that i've used it before and that video just sucks so bad. 2018 me just wasn't a very good editor ngl lmao
but no fr, i really really enjoyed this game and the message it portrayed. joel's choice of the previous game never sat right with me and and i wasn't surprised that he got killed off in this one. i loved him as a character and cried for him for like 20 minutes lmao, but man, was that a selfish choice that he was lucky to have survived that long.
i will admit that i was right there along with everyone at first, flabbergasted and distressed that we had to play as abby. but then i personally grew really fond of her and i think naughty dog did a very good job of fleshing her out as a character (and i'm surprised that didn't happen with more people)
if i'm being honest i think she was way way way more morally correct than ellie in this game.
speaking of ellie, i hated seeing her go through this. she deserved better, let's be real lol
i know a lot of people dislike this game bc of the ending, but again, i would've hated it had ellie gone ahead and killed abby. it just would've started that horrible cycle of revenge again with lev (who is highkey my favorite character btw) going after ellie for revenge. and she would've never forgiven herself for never making things right with joel either.
i think ellie and abby both did what they thought was right while their minds were clouded by that toxic need for revenge and they both just made horrible decisions for them and everyone around them in the process. they're both inherently good people in a world that just isn't kind to them and i think naughty dog did a good job in portraying this. i hope it also came over that way in my edit :')

watch in 1080p! pls do let me know what you thought of it

[@monkey5503]

It was absolutely amazing! I do have one small but pick though, make sure that you turn off your in game music. It was a masterpiece despite it!

[@PleasantTales]

@@monkey5503 thank you so much! sadly i don't have a ps4, so i had to get the footage from another source but i totally would have done it if i could! glad you liked it despite that

[@connorsaysyeet5953]

I seriously still can’t understand how naughty dog made me love a character who killed my favorite childhood character

[@Luc42]

Ellie and Abby were more similar than I think either of them would've ever admitted. Ellie's need to go after Abby pushes Dina away the same way that Abby's need to go after Joel pushed Owen away.

[@voidmaster4189]

Man this game is too overhated, it's easily the second best game I've ever played(right behind rdr2) i feel sorry for people who couldn't enjoy it just because Joel died

[@PleasantTales]

for real! imo it just shows that some people just seriously lack empathy by not being able/refusing to see things from abby's pov and being so hellbent on not enjoying the game because of it :/

[@nora-ro]

OMG THE PARALLELS!!!!! YOU ARE SO TALENTED!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@PleasantTales]

aah thank you!!! i love finding parallels sm honestly :'))

[@error1997]

Ikr 🥺💓

im still in shock at how naughty dog was able to make me love abby, naughty dog are the king of video game storytelling

[@the_boy_from_ipanemacaro7390]

Same, everybody hates her, but im so into her, I love her side of the story

[@BrandonL_00]

I think this song (especially the final part around the 4 minute part) would've been excellent to add in the final fight between Ellie and Abby. I still have major problems with the game... but that final fight was one of the best I've ever played with such hauntingly beautiful scenery.

[@alvaroseijomayoral8834]

The greatest game ever made. Thank you for this perfect video!

[@PleasantTales]

i'm glad you liked it!!

[@headsunder1604]

Literal chills, long work paid off asf

[@PleasantTales]

thankss lara, i'm glad you haven't gotten tired if it yet seeing how many times i showed you this lol

[@uchiwamadara4614]

Damn Abby is like a female version of Joel

[@Phoen1x728]

Something more people should realize

[@pimundead]

The actors of this game made a fucking good job.

[@cheeseburger7172]

this is a work of art! this deserves WAY more the 4,000 views. out of all the tributes I've seen to this game, this is by far one of the best ones I've seen. Well done!

[@PleasantTales]

thank you sm! there's a lot of awesome tributes of this game, so that's really flattering to hear :')

[@Eternalight]

Omg the feelss this edit was so good 😍 and I totally agree with you about the game (for me it was amazing)

[@PleasantTales]

aah thank you!!

[@Eternalight]

@@PleasantTales Yea I can't get it either this game made me think and feel so many things. I can understand that many fans were angry about Joel's death and in the beginning me too but in the end I really liked Abby's character actually I loved that the characters were grey and we had the aportunity to play both sides we can see that none of them are bad or good and both Abby and ellie wanted the same thing to take revenge in their own way sorry for rumbling haha 😅

[@ZachForbes]

Wow this tribute is amazing man I really enjoyed it, Especially the parallels and transitions!

[@PleasantTales]

thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@themissingjj8731]

So beautiful so dark thank you for this

[@FrannFaraldo]

This rememberance it's better than the other one on YT

[@greenfish7708]

I don't know this game (I saw the TW but I wasn't expect this 😂) but you nailed it, the editing is in sync with the song ☀️

[@PleasantTales]

yeah, there was a lot of controversy abt it especially over on twt probably lol but i really enjoyed it!! you should totally check out a playthrough of the last of us if you have time, it's so good!!

[@alexw4570]

Definitely buy it if you can. Watching a play through will give you insight into the story playing the game will allow you to feel the characters and immerse you into the story! Hands down my game of the year!

[@tridentOP9964]

I think this is the perfect video Everyone out there is making videos on either joel or ellie but they never show ellie and abby were very much similar characters surviving in their different yet similar worlds Great work 👍

[@nickoevolution482]

This is absolutely amazing!

[@PleasantTales]

thank you!

[@killer_piranha99x4]

This game is a big tug on my heart strings

[@AbyssalWrxx]

I love this game it isn’t as good as the first one, but this game is dark and conflicted none of the characters are good none of them are bad no one is innocent. It is a game where good and evil don’t exist.

[@PleasantTales]

i absolutely agree!!

[@FroggyQC23]

When I first finished the game, my immediate thought was that it was a good game, but not quite as good as the first one. But after I replayed it, and the more I let it sink in, the more I think that Part II was actually superior to Part I, even storywise. They undeniably took more risks and to me it paid off. But I understand that for others, it didn't, and I'm not going to argue with anyone who prefers Part I, their arguments are perfectly valid.

[@alexw4570]

Tonberry I agree, I actually think it’s better than part 1. There is so much in this game to unpack on an emotional level. I love that Naughty Dog created a game that challenges me to look past my own biases by forcing me to play as Abby and didn’t pander to the fans by following a formula that’s been tried and tested by giving us the further adventures of Joel and Ellie. Naughty Dig took the decisions made in the first game have meaning by showing the emotional impact on joel and Ellie’s relationship as well the real world impact with Abby and her crew hunting Joel down for what he did. And while it was extremely unsettling being a spectator to the torture and murder of Joel... that’s life. We don’t always get what we want, we don’t always get to say goodbye the way we would like, we can’t always have the fairytale story because life can be tough and in the last of us world that’s dialled to the max. Furthermore the emotional content of the game would have been ruined if they had Joel go out in some heroic fashion. This game was expertly crafted to force us to feel what Ellie’s was feeling which I think is genius! I also love the that they gave us an ambiguous but hopeful ending; Abby and Lev are with the fireflies but what does that mean for Ellie? And Ellie hasn’t got the happy ending that we would have liked but she had that with Dina and walked away from it. So her ending is one of finding closure so she can move towards the happy ending. I understand some of the criticism such as pacing, but as far as Ellie not killing Abby? No way. What hope would Ellie have had if she had killed Abby? None she would have become the monster she set out to destroy. Even Abby has quickly become my favourite character in the franchise because she is so well written with her vulnerabilities and desire to be better, that’s something we should all be able to relate to. Absolutely love this game I could talk about it for hours!
