why is it called Grounded 2 when its the last of us
I didn't watch any leaks. Sadly i saw a spoiler about Joel dying at the start of the game. Still its the best game i played so far. Naughty dog ,thank you for this incredible experience ❤.
When tlou2 won GOTY at the Game Awards (forgot the year) I didn’t play the game and TLOU 1, but I hated on the game cuz the internet said so. At one point I saw some gameplay and it peaked my interest. So I played it, had a good time, understood why ppl hated it, and after experiencing the story… I can see why it did win the award. To be fair tho, I don’t remember what the other nominations were.
this game sucked
I can't wait to see what ND cook up for Part 3. Some of the best storytelling in games, and with Part 2 some of the best gameplay.
What a great documentary showcasing what it takes to make a great game. Makes me love the games even more. Cheers to all at naughty dog!
Although Part 2 was heartbreaking, it had a Driver: Parallel Lines taste to it where you got betrayed half-way and you kill everybody except the main guy who ends up killing your best friend near the end, also at the end TK doesn't end up killing the boss even though he's angry.
Well 44 mins till they bring the sexism bullshit, i tought we were getting that in the first 5 mins.
What this team has done with these games, I just can't tell them how appreciative I am. I am one of the late bloomers to play TLOU series. I just played part 1 for the first time on PC release, which I was lucky to not have any of the issues most ppl had, which then encouraged me to buy a PS5 to play part 2. And I was so appreciative of the blood splatter on the individual blades of grass, and the sprays, omg.. It was so cool to see that in this documentary on how they accomplished that. I love all the little details in games. It shows how much they care for their product and the reaction of their consumers. These games can't stop… maybe this story can, but please do not abandon this IP… There are no other games out there that play this rich. I just fng love them so much, all the way down to the mechanics.
Thank you Naughty Dog, currently replaying TLOU2 since the update came out, and I'm having a blast again… The amount of love that went into making this game is unparalleled. It still makes me so upset that you guys went through that much harrassment, and still are. It's a well crafted story. It's hard, it's challenging, but it just makes sense, and as Troy said it, I can't think of a better sequel for the first game. It's a shame that so many people (mostly men it seemed) can't deal with their emotions other than being angry and threatening. It's ironic given the story of the game, but it's like those who could've learned the most from that story are the ones that just don't get it. Anger, revenge, madness… some people just need to do better.
"It doesn't need a sequel". Yes agree.
also, to anyone who spoils games by going out there way to sabatoge someones creativity by hacking their company… No one is impressed… To Naughty Dog, I never watched one spoiler and/or looked at one article… I'm an adult.
Thank you to everyone at Naughty Dog for making this story available to be watched and played in my home. It has taught me a lot and I truly am grateful to have been able to be alive to witness this wonderful title. Bring on #tloupt3 <3
Definitely was one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, absolutely loved it, and can't wait to see what awaits for Tommy in this new chapter.
i thought the second was actually better than the first. doesn't happen often in movies or games, but they did it. and the commitment to realism, from the dialogue to the movements to the motives and outcomes of each character and situation, is amazing. i like how they explored the repercussions of joel's actions in this one, because that's really what would happen. you can't just go around killing a bunch of ppl, especially if they're doing something worthwhile for humanity, and expect no retaliation. and on top of that, lie about it all to ellie, and expect nothing to happen, for the two of them to live happily ever after. abby's character was depicted as a villain, and to many she is, but imo she's not a villain at all. she didn't deserve all the things that happened to her. ppl always take sides because it's easy, and everyone likes to root for joel and ellie because they're "good", but the reality is both are neither good nor bad. they're reacting in human ways to things that have happened to them, things they never asked for. i liked how they put the player into abby's perspective to see what her story is and her motives, instead of just looking at things from just one viewpoint.
Hot take but I liked the 2nd game better
i love you all! one more chapter baby!!!!!! you have the fan's support all the way!
Thank you Neil, thank you Naughty Dog, thank you everyone who made TLOU possible. Just thank you ❤🩹
Playing this game was PAIN. Bring PART III
Are you gonna release uncharted 5 ?
The absolute pinnacle of gaming. The emotions and mature themes is like nothing else.
Sure, other games have emotional moments here and there, but nothing comes close to how deep and consistent and high level that experience is like with The Last of Us saga. Not to mention the technical wizardry the team has.
I have nothing but admiration and respect for the whole team. Amazing work.
Main kudos to Sound Team. Heard heroes but unrecognized.
nothing mentioned so far about the face models? From lev, Dina, basically any new character had a Real face. Would’ve been cool to see how that went scanning and gathering the people.
So is this what Rockstar has to deal with all the time? Do they get death threats also? People are so heartless..
59:03 that CPU is crazy
I still feel like the hatred for this game is misdirected. So much was misunderstood and when looking at this game it’s an art piece. It’s beautiful and tells a great story. Sorry you can’t understand.
Thank you, Naughty Dog, for making this game ❤️❤️❤️❤❤️ Never before has a video game made me feel so many different emotions 🤩 Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
By the way, about the leaks and for what it is worth; I ignored everything. I was on radio silence since I already decided to play the game based purely on the experience I had with the first one. I didn't need to be sold anything so I ignored everything. In fact, I only saw the very first trailer announcement/teaser and that was it.
Loved every part of the both games. Monumental technical and story telling experience. You actually levitated the medium.
Amazing work.
