The Last of Us: Part II Spoiler Thread

I still say it could work over time. Maybe it takes decades for the vaccine to spread enough for some level of civilized society to form, but that's better than never. Right now we're trying to do it in months and yeah that's a challenge.

I didn't get any points until I finished my Grounded+ run. Got 560 points for that.

Im surprised we have heard nothing of the Factions mode. Like will that be released as a free update to the game similar to GoT's Legends mode? Will it be a paid upgrade? A standalone game? Free-to-play? Will it launch alongside a PS5 remastered version? So many unanswered questions

[StarkRomanoff]

Naughty Dog announces when they are closer to release and sure of a timeline. So it's partly good news we've heard nothing. We know they're working on multiplayer and they posted jobs for single player so they've got at least a couple things in the works right now.

I'm hoping Factions or any multiplayer linked to Part 2 is standalone so I don't have those missing trophies looming and hindering my 1 and only 100% game. I've been grinding through the Factions trophies for Part 1 and only just got the Firefly journey trophy. It's been a few weeks in the making! All I have left is the Hunter Journey and 5 kills/downs in the bookstore trophies, and the latter is proving very difficult to get for some reason.

I'd give ND my first born just for 60fps on PS5. God I hope they're working on that. If they force a pay for upgrade I'll gladly pay for it.

I am 1000% buying a PS5 disc of TLOU2 when/if it's ever released.

Finally getting my 8" Ellie with bow after nearly 6 months of waiting!

Well, that's done. One of the most important, harrowing and, as strange as it may sound, life-affirming games ever made. What Naughty Dog did at the circa 12-hour mark is sheer genius. That they ended it the way it did is exactly right.

I dearly hope the majority of gamers see it that way and that the initial ruckus was caused by short-sightedness of the ignorant few.

I really need to play this again. Was waiting on whatever PS5 upgrade but not sure if I can. I need to experience this again.

Glad you loved it

The new discoveries in this game are truly phenomenal.

Ellie can catch ammo in midair if you’re quick enough

Oh wow!

That’s Psick!!!

Gotta play around with that next time I play

[StarkRomanoff]

If you have auto pickup on you catch ammo and weapons in the air pretty easily, when they're available. It so cool that ND specifically included that in their animation! I noticed it a few times with Abby more recently.

Played the game 3x and not once did I realize you could do that. I'd like to see that on Abby as well.

[morris_schaffer]

I forgot, but did Abby

[Show spoiler]ever tell Ellie that Joel killed her dad?

Oh yeah
I’ve played through the campaign on every difficulty level (5 or 6 times)

Now I just play through certain environments and I customize the difficulty level for fun. Because there’s nothing better than playing through just the wild environments or chapters. No game does that this well

Isn't that crazy? So much suffering could have been avoided had she shared that slightly important piece of information. For sure, Ellie would have had new information, which might have made her relent in her thirst for vengeance. Unless ND is thinking long-term with this plot element.

Yup.
I specifically played through my third time thinking that same thing and specifically paid even closer attention to see if that came up/was mention.

[Show spoiler]I'm pretty sure Ellie knew that Joel "deserved" it.
Hell, they were listing people who could have done it on their way to Seattle. The "why" wasn't important to Ellie. The action was important. And she wanted her blind revenge.
