Man, kids grow up quick.
Id watch them play TLOU2 after beating it myself - why not. Last time was great.

Like what other game or series is handled with such maturity and has that feel of an actual well rounded fulfilled story and premise.
I don't know, it's just handled with so much weight and confidence. It's what I always wanted from this industry, it all makes me so happy this stuff exists. I do hope the dissenters become more and more in the minority and are silenced, because this is literally why I love this industry and why I got into it in the first place.
I know people are obsessive about making games solely about the "fun" of it and keeping it light. But I think they can be BOTH and so much more.
(thanks for posting, I watched them all play through the last one. It was kind of hard to watch, cause its like watching someone watch your favorite film and not reacting exactly how you want haha. But it was nice seeing fresh eyes check it out!)

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
They're finally doing it!
The Last of Us: Left Behind - Part 1
Unfortunately a couple of the kids from the main series are off to college, but they gave shoutouts and passed the torch.

I wonder how many contextual items/moments they will pass by. That's where so much of the DLC's content is. It looks like it's only set to be four episodes (one today, one tomorrow, one next Sunday, and one next Monday).

A lot of these teens aren't gamers so it shows some interesting perspectives and it has been fun to watch some of them get invested in such a heavily story driven game.

Hehe, it seems Morgan was instantly picking up on the subtext of Ellie and Riley's relationship. Just the way those two characters converse with each other, you can tell there's something extra going on.
Nice of them to release these episodes so close together. It's a breezy DLC campaign so there's no need to draw it out.

yeah i don't think that type of game lends well to a reacts. you'd have to carefully curate what areas you have them play.

Really good wrap up. They became so heavily invested in such a brief period of time. I relate to Morgan saying how greatly beneficial the DLC was for fleshing out Ellie's character.
Yeah I imagine a full playthrough of an open world game with this many participants would be a nightmare. Even something as super linear as TLOU was already a hassle to produce with scheduling multiple sessions and editing them all together.

Morgan is awesome. Loved these videos.
This take is just too hot to touch.
Yeah she's great. These TLOU vids are the best thing to come out of this channel lol.
That was actually the best
It's the only thing I've watched from them on my own will I believe lol. Great stuff.
The game I'm surprised they haven't done yet is Life is Strange.

Despite your cynicism, this is a bunch of Gen Z'ers reacting to a product for Millennials.
Go back to flailing in the wind about Jim Sterling videos and the like where your lack of coherence fits better.

no mom the game is so deep and deals with fatherhood and stuff, it's truly art
yes there are zombies in it
yes there is a lot of swearing and shooting and violence
no i'm not having kids any time soon

haha i'm so cool emotions don't mean anything to me. Like Shadow the Hedgehog, I'm about being cool and thinking curses are rad. There's nothing beneath the surface at all.
Is this a way of saying TLoU is not a good game? Because it is a damn fine one.

Millennials like their shoot many mans in the face games to have that extra bit of subtle emotional depth due to their increased age and maturity.

As someone who loved TLOU, this still made me laugh pretty hard.
Sure, the story is great. The gameplay though? That's debatable.

If story/writting is 15/10 , gameplay is 10/10. That why some people think that it has not good gameplay. I can't imagine how it could be better tbh. Its perfect.
You don't like the feeling of violently ramming a dudes head against a concrete wall?
Gameplay is great. But if people didn't bother to learn its intricacies, that's on them.

Intricacies...oh please.
TLOU is incredible but lets not be crazy people. The gameplay is polished, but has very little depth. Some of the clicker areas are flat out boring. People seem to mistake gameplay for atmosphere.
Isn't the story and gameplay of every game debatable? Hence, discussion forums centered around videogames, like the one you are on right now.
You got resource management, crafting, brick and bottle mechanics, melee weapon mechanics, health upgrades that fill your health completely if no health kit is available, story transitions that'll heal you completely to keep in mind and more. As I said, it's not the game's fault, plenty of people don't bother learning how to properly play action and fighting games either, despite then having robust mechanics. Dodge offset is a thing in Bayonetta, yet few players know about it and use it.
