This game's ending is so perfect, one of the best, if not the best. Ever since TLOU1 I wondered if she forgave him, and I had to wait until the perfectly placed cutscene of their last moment together to get an answer to that, I loved that.

Are you planning on continuing Shadow of the Erdtree? Your playthroughs were so much fun, I hope to see you finish it. 😊

Such a great game!!!!! Stealth attack. Shh go to sleep. Repeat lol. Hopefully there's a part 3 eventually!!!!

If there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that you shouldn't let your past dictate your future...

If you like games with a post-apocalyptic theme, and if you allow me, I recommend Days Gone (open world game)... Greetings... Very good channel.

Thanks for taking your time to play! I wish they let ellie keep all her fingers to play the guitar perfectly. Your not alone for shedding tears, cyberpunk and red dead 2 made me feel the same way. Looking forward to the next games!

You can be the coolest customer in the world, but Ellie's "I would like to try" gets _everybody_

Excellent stream!!! Loved your entire play through. My favorite game of all time. 👏👏👏👏👏

There's no way they'd let a woman that pregnant on the front lines

Next Uncharted series perhaps. 1-3 (one disk) remastered and 4-5 (one disk) remastered. More funnier, but NaughtyDog message with its good story is there.

I would really recommend to you to watch the making of about the Part II... Neil Druckmann says that, maybe, there is an idea, a last part to be told... We can't wait! Amazing playthrough.

It’s a really heavy game. I always enjoyed playing it, but could only do so for short bursts so I could reflect on what was happening. Really happy you stuck through with the game until the end and really happy you liked it. It’s been a really wonderful playthrough. Can’t wait to see what your next game will be. Thanks for all the great times on the channel so far! 💜

Thanks for yourself through this. God this game is so beautiful but so emotionally taxing that I only played it through once back when it released. I didn't have it in me to do a "clean-up" run like I normally would do in other games. It's been an experience revisiting these emotions watching you play. We start off hating Abby but then growing to understand her. But then we start to hate seeing the person that Ellie is becoming. You summed it up perfectly at the end. I'd like to see you play Lies Of P coz I'm just desperate for more LOP content from anywhere😅. I thought it was so cool. Or Control. Control's cool if you like sci-fi. No matter what you play though we're all here for it.

Tommy lost a leg and an eye, his brother and his marriage is over, also an heavy injury in the head can change radically someone. making them easily more angry.

0:00:10 Best introduction EVER! 0:00:57 It was great! I always felt like that first day with Abby was a bit lengthy. 0:22:17 Unimportant 🤣 1:02:30 For real 🤣 1:04:48 Yeah, I have a fear of heights as well 1:09:26 😬 1:49:21 Me too 😬 I had a very verbal and gesturous (I made that up) reaction to that whole thing, but well done! 2:30:27 🥲 2:46:14 Me too! 2:47:51 I really don't feel like Abby deserved that 2:49:59 Great assessment and I would agree

Hello... You just gained a follower... Loved your reaction to the end of this "game". I like to call this an "experience". Will watch your playthroughs Cheers

Your adorable! I enjoyed your play through of this franchise. It’s my all time favorite game. I look forward to more upcoming games Jackie!

2:20:12 i had the same reaction, i cried for hours lol

I think Tommy can't let it go bc he was a valuable member of the community and now with one eye and a limp, he's not the sniper he was and not as useful, so he has so much rage and hatred towards Abby and wants revenge but can't get it himself so he expects ellie to feel the same and when she doesn't, he loses it.

Absolute Gaming 🙌

TLOU 1&2 are a masterpiece of storytelling and gameplay. I can't wait till part 3 comes out.

About other possible games, the choice is yours. I could suggest: Days Gone : another Zambie game but with bikers, Dark Souls 3, Lies Of P : a lot of people love Lies of P, but it's average to me Dead Space : terrifying game to me, try it if you want to be afraid, not sure it would be a great game for videos though. But if you want sweaty hands, this is the game. Until Dawn : I haven't played it, so I won't watch it Journey : very short and perfect to relax Shadow of the Colossus : very special game but very unique, again not sure it would make great videos The evil within 1 and 2 All the other games people suggest.

That was one of the best playthrough of TLOU 2 I've ever seen! It was awsome!

What drives Ellie is more guilt. She blames herself for not forgiving Joel sooner. Since she found out the truth at the hospital, she cuts off all relations with Joel and at the dance is the first time she interacts with Joel in years. She pushes him away, but instantly regrets it so she goes to see him later. On the porch, in their last conversation, Ellie understands that she’s everything to him and she can't hate him, so she takes the first step towards forgiveness and acceptance, but the next day that happens. Abby ruins that chance to forgive Joel, so killing Abby is like a kind of penance to get rid of the guilt. At the end, when she's about to kill Abby, she sees him, she sees Joel. During the whole game she hasn't been able to see an image of Joel other than him dead, she's not able to draw his gaze in the diary, but at that moment she sees him, so she stops. In fact, this same thing happens to Abby, she keeps having nightmares about her dead father and it's not until she meets Yara and Lev that she finally gets to see her father. By sparing Abby, Ellie is forgiving herself and Joel, it allows her to restore that bit of humanity left in Ellie, it gives a chance to save that Ellie we met in TLOU1. It's a shame that some people don't understand the ending and limit it to “revenge is bad”. It's much more than that. It's about love and forgiveness. Such a masterpiece.

Jackie is such a genuine sweet girl. U can tell man. She wears her emotions on her sleeve n can’t hide them. That’s how u know she not fake. Like when Ellie and Abby fought, u can just tell Jackie just didn’t want ANYONE to get hurt . Idk I just respect people like that for some reason . Because this world is so cold especially here in the U.S. We hide our feelings and are more hardened to this life . I respect people who do show there feelings

When u were using the bow u weren’t cocking the string back far enough right after the one guy offed his self that’s why the arrow wouldn’t kill. What u bout to play next tho? And did u not know u can release the infected that were chained up?!?! They will help u fight the rattlers.. the ending with the firefly guitar is symbolizing Ellie finally let go of Joel and the fireflies. She left it behind

Great Let's Play, raw/genuine emotions (we've all been there, RDR 2 really comes kinda close) and I love your commentary, really felt/suffered with you. Keep it up! :) Definitely one of my most favourite games, the only one I ever felt like and actually did play more than once. And yeah, really bold choices regarding the story choices, but it paid off!

Hey @jackieelin. I just want to ask if you heard about the game Life is Strange because its my favourite Storygame with The Last of Us and both of the Games changed my perspective of life so i recommend it to you🙌

"If I were to lose you, I would surely lose myself." And then Ellie tried to play this song, and couldn't, because her quest for revenge has left her maimed. She has lost herself. It's such a dark and bleak ending. I mean, RDR2 had a lot of sadness, but the overall message made me feel hopeful. "Vengeance is a fool's game", as someone we all know once said. I really enjoyed your play, thanks Jackie.

I hope you enjoyed the game.

Thanks for making it possible for us to have a great time together. To our long distance friend Jackie 😇

"Sometimes we just have to learn to forgive" beautifully well put, no other words needed as imo this is what the theme of LOU2 is all about. What an incredible game and an unforgettable experience.

I don't have much more to say that hasn't already been said. You summed it all up perfectly in the end, Jackie. I think I said all this in Part 1 but I've played these games many times and watched more than a few let's plays and yours really has been the best for me. Your honest emotional reactions really resonated with me and mirrored my own during my playthroughs. I said this before too but it bears repeating, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing you experiences and thoughts with us. I know it's not easy and it takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there like this. I hope you know how much we all appreciate it. This has been a true treat. Two things i'll add just to cap it off in case you missed them: -If you remember from Part 1, Ellie tells Sam her greatest fear is ending up alone. This makes the ending of part 2 even more tragic, because as far as we know at this point, alone is exactly where her relentless pursuit of revenge has left her. Hopefully there will be someone or something good in her future when we eventually get Part 3. -After the credits roll and you return to the main menu you may have noticed the background has changed from the darker more ominous image off the boat floating in the water to a boat on the shore of a bright sandy beach with a large building on the cliff side. The new background is actually Catalina Island and the implication of course is that Abby and Lev actually made it to the Fireflies. So at least theres a sort of subtle happy "ending" for some of our characters. Thanks so much again, Jackie. See you in the next one 🙏

I would like to see Detriot become Human and Beyond two souls😊

❤❤❤

It's what makes this game so awesome. It doesn't end with Ellie having to battle some obscure hoard of clickers and their like; it's a real story. Not your typical zombie monster game. That's exactly why I graduated towards it; and I find most zombie games boring and repetitive.

great playthrough. enjoyed it a lot.

What a masterpiece

Yo Jackie, how about some non depressing/rage inducing lets play? For example gta v story mode.

1:35:15 Jackie! 😂 I was yelling at you "NO WAIT FREE THE ZAMBIE" 🤣 there’s a prompt to take out the pin on the chain here. Its fun letting zAmbie Anthony here get his revenge on those jackasses! 😂

I like the story of Abby but one of the ugliest characters ever made in a video game

1:38:13 Damn lol, no one ever frees Anthony on the rattlers.

Wow, the rollercoaster has come to an end. I am glad you made it through both these games Jackie! 🫶🙂 In the end, I was so relieved to know that Ellie's last words to Joel wasn't what she said to him after that incident with that bigot Seth. She wanted to try to forgive him, and right before she was going to end Abby, she finally "let go". She lost A LOT but maybe she can begin to rebuild herself now. TLOU2 will always hold a special place in my heart. If you've read some of my other comments on various other episodes in this playthrough, you know what this game means to me. I played this game shortly after my wife died of brain cancer on December 24th, 2020. Like Ellie for Abby, I was full of hate for cancer. I compared Abby to the brain tumor that tortured and took my wife's life. Shamra (my wife) and I really loved the first game. And I feel that she wanted me to experience part 2. So I bought them both and played them back to back. I know this probably sounds silly, but if not for TLOU2, I may still be full of hate in my heart. Video games wasn't only a coping mechanism for me, playing through Ellie and Abby's story helped me to "let go" and heal my heart from that hatred and move on. That's what Shamra wanted for me. I still hate cancer, and Ellie will never be besties with Abby, but letting that hate go is so liberating to the soul. That's my take on it anyway. However emotionally draining this game is, it will be one of my all time favorites forever. Until the next game, take some time to recover, and Peace and Love Y'all ✌️😎

One of the few streamers that feels natural and without overreactions.

That look of self disappointment that Ellie gives after glancing towards the baby gets me every time (15:50) Also, people usually don't point it out, but Tommy clearly suffered some brain damage that caused a behavior shift, and is likely part of the cause of his marriage falling apart.

Next stop: Silent Hill 2 Remake pls😁

I was hoping to see your reaction to Ashley Johnson(Ellie) and Troy Baker(Joel) singing "Wayfaring Stranger" during the credits. It's pretty great.

Congratulations on beating the game Jackie! It's a good game & it does leave it open to possibly a 3rd game!😊

An interesting thing to think about is the fact that Ellie still doesn't know Joel killed Abby's dad. She still thinks Abby killed Joel because he prevented the vaccine from being developed.. Also, up until the theater confrontation, Abby didn't realize that Ellie was the same girl from St. Mary's hospital who was immune, just like Nora didn't realize it until she saw Ellie breathing spores. None of them realized who she was in Jackson.

Great Playthrough dear Jackie. There are some pretty messed up things in my life right now, but.your Videos are like a little Safe Place for me. So, thank you for that.👍♥️
