![]() ![]() The game’s final moment jumps ahead sometime later, as Joel lies to Ellie and tells her there was no cure, and she receives his story with an uncertain: “Okay.” In a climax that is still a high-water mark for big-budget video games, it’s revealed that developing a vaccine would kill Ellie, and so the player, as Joel, decides to murder the surgeons and their attendant militia guards just as an unconscious Ellie is about to go under the knife, unaware of her fate. Eventually, he discovers that Ellie is immune to infection, and he’s bringing her to the last remaining medical facility in the States in the hopes of developing a cure. The game cast players as Joel, a smuggler charged with bringing Ellie across the country for reasons unknown to him. When the first Last of Us game debuted in 2013, zombie fiction was already trite and exhausting, but the game still succeeded by virtue of being a technical marvel that also focused squarely on its characters. Rather, it’s the behavior of the people who remain after the parasite’s arrival brings about the end of civilization as we know it. However, like The Walking Dead, it isn’t the afflicted that represent the real horror. These fungal zombies, known as “infected,” are violent, carnivorous, and highly contagious, releasing spores that will infect others. The PlayStation 4 release is the sequel to 2013’s The Last of Us, which was set in a world where the real-life cordyceps fungi - a grotesque parasite that inhabited insects, causing them to behave erratically - has made the leap to humans. ![]() Her path to revenge is full of perhaps the most unsettlingly rendered violence a video game has portrayed in some time, most of it committed by the person playing the game. The protagonist, a young woman named Ellie, endures something terrible, and everyone involved in perpetrating it must pay with their lives. In The Last of Us Part II, nearly every character is as far from a “good day” as a person can be. Trouble is, The Last of Us Part II thinks itself clever by making this the point of its story, seemingly unaware that one does not need a thirty-hour video game to make this point. If you heard it all without the benefit of context, perhaps by being in an adjacent room while someone played, you’d register a parade of murder that would seem exceedingly difficult to justify. For hours on end, thanks to the craftsmanship of top-notch audio engineers and dedicated performers, you will hear sounds of human misery: people shrieking in pain, pleading for their life, gagging and gurgling as blood seeps out of them. The Last of Us Part II is the worst video game I’ve ever heard. In terms of story i still think the original is told better because literally every character in the original last of us was likeable even the villains and that's not the case here, abby is incredibly unlikable, dina and jessie are alright but they should have been way better and the pacing is all over the place but even so, this is a quality game and it's nowhere near as bad as some would make you believe and most of them didn't even gave the game a chance and made up their minds based on the leaks which works for a movie i guess but this is different and you have to experience it for yourself and even if you still hated it, it's understandable like i said the game is very flawed and it's not for everyone like the first game.A moment of solemn reflection amid bloodshed? Or doomscrolling Twitter? The graphics and environments are breathtaking, some of the best world design i've ever seen and the gameplay while similar to the original, it's even more violent, horrifying and gruesome as hell. Now i do understand what most of you think about this game because of what druckman said, this one is all about hate and even i was really upset and disappointed after you know "the thing" happened but if you actually continue to play the game it all make sense and it's not like you are not getting any joel and ellie moment, you should know that joel in the first game did a lot of messed up things with no mercy even if it was out of love and his past is coming to hunt him in this game which was always the case, he's not a hero guys even if you want him to be. ![]()
