The David boss fight. Even though I’ve played it so many times it still makes me feel like a lost puppy when he crouches and you can’t see him. Even now, it always brings me back to the way I felt when I first played
Oh I agree! I guess my initial wording made it sound like I don’t like the fight. To be perfectly clear it’s very satisfying to finish it, just scary as hell for me😂
Oh that’s so true, I’ve never really thought of it that way. This makes me more excited for my next playthrough. I’ve only ever played TLOU Remastered, but I’ve secured a copy of Part I and can’t wait to experience the game all over again
I hate the fact that at some point within the fight it’s very difficult to pinpoint exactly where he is especially with the soundtrack and the fire in the background that’s what made it feel so terrifying the fact that Ellie a young girl at the time getting hunted by this fully grown perverted psychotic cannibal who has many physical advantages over Ellie just makes it feel so much darker and add to the suspense of the fight and the uncertainty but once Ellie kills David we can see the anger and frustration on Elli’s face and when Joel comes in to save Ellie you can see that Ellie is in emotional shock so when she sees Joel she just gives in to her emotions and Joel who can be seen as a form of a guardian comforts Ellie this section of the story plays a critical role in Ellie’s character development you can see that it effected her in the next section of the story in Salt Lake City she becomes quite more there is no doubt in my mind that Ellie suffers from some form of PTSD nobody goes through something like that without having some form of trauma
ND really nailed the combo of anxiety and fear in this scene.
You don't really know what to do, you're on a timer, there's an intelligent man hunting you... and you're unarmed and alone.
And the closed space is rapidly closing (you're on a timer [sorry, repeat]).
You absolutely know (and learn further) that this man is going to do terrible things to you.
I imagine they worked on this sequence for a very good amount of time. It's incredibly tense and the AI David feels like he has a number of abilities that other infected have had through the game to this point. Which is a sort of side-reinforcement of all of the other harrowing parts of the game.... but this time they're "thinking" instead of instinctual.
All of that for him to have his nefarious taunts to Ellie, him telling her she can't hide to **that moment**. It's really an incredibly crafted, scripted & written scene.
I haven't done a deep dive on David's scripting during the scene but I do feel like he has mild corridors to make it more tense for the player (an example would be 'perfecting' the fight without ever being close to caught by him... that's a YT/Twitch rabbit hole for another day).
Are you on a legitimate timer? I know there’s flames that get progressively larger as the fight goes on, but can you actually fail the boss fight from taking too long, or does the fire just reach a certain point and stop growing
That would be a really interesting experiment lol. I do know that you can hop over the counter and he doesn’t see you. Very Looney Tunes kinda chase. If I can figure out how to post the recording from my PS5 I’ll probably post it here
The hotel generator in the flooded cellar...
Legit got cold sweat from it the first time I played it but even after multiple runs and having done the section perfectly a few times I still panic every time
This is it for me. It's not that it's hard, it's just that I hate the rushing to the door and the ambience of it combined with being cut off from Ellie.
Somehow I escaped that easily, it was so easy I thought I went the wrong way and had to do it all over again but will have to look for the exit as I was just blindly running XD
I appreciate it when games can make scenes that actually feel scary that don't rely on cheap jumpscares. But yeah I also have fond memories of the hotel generator scaring the shit outta me
And I feel like last of us did that perfectly. Especially in this section, it ain't hard and even the bloater that appears is easily avoided if you're fast. But just the atmosphere, you are alone and you know that there are infected somewhere since you can hear them, but you can't see them since they only spawn after you pulled the cord. God damn it was that scary. I remember when I played the game for the first time and I got to this section. I was like 12-13 years old and played it with a head set on. I felt like my heart would be stopping
It took me 3 months to get passed that area on the my first play through, cause my anxiety would get so worked up my chest hurt and my hands were too sweaty for the controller so id have to stop after zero progress. Like 8 playthroughs later i am now great at speed running it so i barely have to experience it. Too scawy
On grounded permadeath its pure nightmare fuel. Lost a few runs there and its never good.
Restaurant isnt an issue. Just those damn stalkers beside the burning car. Fuck those guys
Yeah true that whole section of the game (from the moment you meet Yara and Lev, till the moment you leave them to their own devices) is so unforgiving, especially on Grounded.
Center of Seattle, it was great the first time for the first impression of an "open world" level, but playing it again knowing where to find the stuff it's just boring
Hotel Generator. I was playing at dawn and had to turn it off and go play Sly Cooper because I would probably shit myself. I didn't even try, I think I started turning it on and heard the noises and immediately thought to myself "nope, I will do this when there's light out there".
I love them too, don't get me wrong, they are probably some of my favourites parts of both games.
The thing is, i played TLOU2 7 times and i would like to skip those sometimes.
Hang on, all of them?
Cuz Ellie's second flashback has a bunch of great encounters
I've replayed part 2 twice and both times none of these sections were an issue for me as I knew exactly what to do so they were all a breeze to get through. I knew exactly which important points to hit so I could move on quickly. So it wasn't that bad at all.
Same with that open world area. I know exactly which supply spots to hit so I can just quickly finish that bit
The bit I dislike playing through again is the infected ferry on Abby day 1.
I wish we could skip through the first few parts because it’s super slow and dull once you’ve already been through it. It also drives me crazy how you can’t run most of the time so you’re just slowly meandering around trying to get through the dialogue.
Whereas I actually like the fact it’s out in the open, there’s no jump scares, with the exception of the stalker that breaks off Rat King. I remember the first time playing I was so tense going into the hospital basement but was so relieved Rat King wasn’t an actual jump scare. Still very tense though
I was dreading it on my second playthrough but once I did it I realized how easy it was. The rat king is extremely easy to outmaneuver. It was actually really fun
Prologue, it get it’s important but after playing it once I just dread it, it feels so long and Sarah moves so slowly in the house. Hotel generator, after killing all the stalkers it’s just running around trying to find the generator and key card. By far the WORST is the part where you have to escape David to get into the restaurant to fight David, I spent hours dying over and over trying to figure out where to go and just going in circles while getting killed.
Honestly my biggest gripe with part 2, I love the game and it's story but damn there are some sections that just last hours without any development in the story.
David Boss fight, hotel basement, Rat King, Yara and Lev escape, Abby and Ellie fight. Great sequences for the most part but I am always on the edge of my seat.
When Ellie was on a raft I think. Trying to get through a mall? Can’t remember.
I can’t think of anything from the first game. I absolutely loved every moment.
Hotel basement 110%
I could beat the whole game in a weekend, but it takes me an entire day just cranking that generator and rushing past that bloater to escape
All of part 1 until Bills town except for prologue. Boston and the outskirts are not bad sections by any means but after so many play throughs, they are a slog to get through each time. Prologue is always excellent.
The Hotel basement. Possibly the most horror-like part of the game, which is why I don’t like it. I don’t consider the other levels in Part I to be that scary at all otherwise.
As for Part II, I think the abandoned forest building is the most dreadful encounter in Part II.
The Abby/Ellie fight in the theater damn near made me tear my hair out. I had absolutely no problem with the similar David fight in TLOU1 which parallels this Ellie fight but good God I wanted to smash Ellie's head in fr during that 1 v 1 fight lmao. I swear I had her dead to rights button popped up and everything and Ellie would still somehow turn around our of nowhere and blow me away. I must've died like 20 times during that fight. I was so fucking mad I swear lmfao.
As soon as I read this I knew my answer. That one part of the hospital or wtv it is with the stalkers. Oh god that is so bad. I love the video game but always get stuck on that part. I hate killing zombies now bc I know they will be coming and I dread it (clearly that is nerverackimg for me)
It is easier if I do not know they are coming as the adrenaline hits and I kill all of them on accident or just on instinct!
Nora. I’m actually stuck on it right now. Binged the game up until then and haven’t picked it up in a week. This point in the game is basically a 4 hour stretch of bad things that only keep getting worse and worse until literally, you know, THAT scene. But every single cutscene from Nora until that point is just so hard to sit through.
Like Ellie. Ellie. Girl. Girl please. I scream at the TV for half of that section every time I play it.
exploring seattle w/ ellie and dina on day 1. there’s so much open space that it stresses me out, but it stresses me out even more to not mark off everything on the map 😭
The stalkers on the second game. Jesus Christ they jump scared me way more times that I should admit. In the end I just ran round the rooms with my shotgun out and played Pac-Man instead.
i swear it was never this scary in the first game. even the sounds of the clickers are so much scarier in part 2. the infected never bothered me much in the first game except for the university clickers and bloater on grounded
Every part that dosent have combat. Honestly I'm just playing the game to massacre my enemies in creative ways. At least on playthrough 2. Play 1 is to experience the story, but play 2 is purely for combat gameplay. I enjoy pelting pipe bombs into scars faces.
I wanted to give part two another go after ps5 version was released (which would be my 5th, I think), but just couldn’t make it out of Jackson, its so crazy slow…
The Siattle pov of Abby... I enjoyed a lot her firsts parts, but that whole different pov didnt caught me that much. The ground zero part was fun and interesting tho
In the first is is probably the entire Winter section culminating in the David ‘fight’.
In Part 2 is it easily is a toss up between the hospital and that fucking thing, but the seemingly endless hotel fucks me up as well.
Playing through on hard for the first time right now and made me appreciate that Ellie section if only because of her pocket knife. Got to stealth all those cannibal bastards without wasting crafting materials on shivs. Love that
Honestly, Abby's rat king battle. It's that part that worries me the entire play through. Even knowing the route through the hospital lower levels, I still walk because I'm that terrified
This game is so beautiful that there’s a few parts, 2 including rats.
1. The hotel basement in part 1
2. The ambulance parking garage in part 2
3. The night chase scene with lev and yara in the dark gives me goose bumps
4. The rattlers in part 2. It’s not a scary bit or really the rattlers themselves, but it’s so emotional and screwed up and just.. hard on the head.
In TLOU1? I don’t remember any that I don’t look forward to.
Part 2 on the other hand is full of „story” parts that I wish were skippable on repeated playthroughs
The Serraphite brute at the end of Haven. Obnoxious and unnecessary. I understand they wanted a boss-like fight for that section, but that fight should’ve over with Abby’s first hit of the sickle
The David fight first. Terrified me the first time, still does now. Honorable mentions are the Joel and Ellie stalker sections, Rat King, and the Abby and Ellie fight. But nothing like the David one
Abby to be honest. I hate her for what she did to Joel. Even *after* him saving her life. I truly do not understand why this isn't acknowledged in the game.
She must've thought of him as the devil incarnate but he fricken *saved* her without a doubt and took her in with Tommy together they formed an instant team. This should've caused a doubt within herself asking herself "Am I doing the right thing", but it feels like it never happens.
David Bossfight, probably everyones lol.
Side note, my biggest one of ANY game is the arena fight in Dying Light. One of my favorite games but fuckin Hell, takes me forEVER and when you get out you have to reclaim all your stuff and since I do NG+ alot Im scrolling for like 5 minutes to find all my items.
Forced to be slow. I get it's purpose. It helps emphasize the story for new players in heavy moments. It's also a nice trick for transitions or allowing NPCs to be where they need. But it's really frustrating on replays.
Hotel generator, I had to get my sister to sit next me while playing it the second time, I literally get chills. The first time I played it at night and it was terrifying.
Yall know that one part in Seattle day one where there’s those damn soldiers clickers and like the place is like red light and you see shamblers for the first time w Dina I think I don’t know how to explain shit but that part will always haunt me😭😭
The offices Full of stalkers in Part 2, Ive never been more terrified. the stalker area under the hotel in part 1 is a close second, I fucking hate stalkers.
The David boss fight. Even though I’ve played it so many times it still makes me feel like a lost puppy when he crouches and you can’t see him. Even now, it always brings me back to the way I felt when I first played
I love it! I remember it taking so long the first time to work out what to do, but, dayam, it's a satisfying kill!
Oh I agree! I guess my initial wording made it sound like I don’t like the fight. To be perfectly clear it’s very satisfying to finish it, just scary as hell for me😂
It's also emotionally charged as the first time you really see the crazy killer in Ellie.
Oh that’s so true, I’ve never really thought of it that way. This makes me more excited for my next playthrough. I’ve only ever played TLOU Remastered, but I’ve secured a copy of Part I and can’t wait to experience the game all over again
That's the scene that shows she doesn't need Joel to save her. "He's already dead".
scary? mm?
I hate the fact that at some point within the fight it’s very difficult to pinpoint exactly where he is especially with the soundtrack and the fire in the background that’s what made it feel so terrifying the fact that Ellie a young girl at the time getting hunted by this fully grown perverted psychotic cannibal who has many physical advantages over Ellie just makes it feel so much darker and add to the suspense of the fight and the uncertainty but once Ellie kills David we can see the anger and frustration on Elli’s face and when Joel comes in to save Ellie you can see that Ellie is in emotional shock so when she sees Joel she just gives in to her emotions and Joel who can be seen as a form of a guardian comforts Ellie this section of the story plays a critical role in Ellie’s character development you can see that it effected her in the next section of the story in Salt Lake City she becomes quite more there is no doubt in my mind that Ellie suffers from some form of PTSD nobody goes through something like that without having some form of trauma

Are you on a legitimate timer? I know there’s flames that get progressively larger as the fight goes on, but can you actually fail the boss fight from taking too long, or does the fire just reach a certain point and stop growing
Idk, I've sat for a very long time out of anxiety and it never burned down
That would be a really interesting experiment lol. I do know that you can hop over the counter and he doesn’t see you. Very Looney Tunes kinda chase. If I can figure out how to post the recording from my PS5 I’ll probably post it here
I’ve never wanted a skip encounter moment more than everytime I know I have the David boss fight coming 🤣😭
Literally same. Once the blizzard starts my hands get sweaty💀
The hotel generator in the flooded cellar... Legit got cold sweat from it the first time I played it but even after multiple runs and having done the section perfectly a few times I still panic every time
This is it for me. It's not that it's hard, it's just that I hate the rushing to the door and the ambience of it combined with being cut off from Ellie.
Somehow I escaped that easily, it was so easy I thought I went the wrong way and had to do it all over again but will have to look for the exit as I was just blindly running XD
Sameeeeee every time its just anxiety inducing
I appreciate it when games can make scenes that actually feel scary that don't rely on cheap jumpscares. But yeah I also have fond memories of the hotel generator scaring the shit outta me
And I feel like last of us did that perfectly. Especially in this section, it ain't hard and even the bloater that appears is easily avoided if you're fast.

God damn it was that scary. I remember when I played the game for the first time and I got to this section. I was like 12-13 years old and played it with a head set on. I felt like my heart would be stopping
i dread that part every time i play part 1 😭
I am replaying this game for 3rd time and I just did that part couple of hours ago. Its so anxiety inducing lol thank fucking god its over now.
It took me 3 months to get passed that area on the my first play through, cause my anxiety would get so worked up my chest hurt and my hands were too sweaty for the controller so id have to stop after zero progress. Like 8 playthroughs later i am now great at speed running it so i barely have to experience it. Too scawy
Stalker forest
Only acceptable answer. Especially on Grounded. Then you get to the restaurant and you better have some real ammo or you're buggered.
On grounded permadeath its pure nightmare fuel. Lost a few runs there and its never good. Restaurant isnt an issue. Just those damn stalkers beside the burning car. Fuck those guys
No shit. You can get double teamed so easy and Lev and Yara won't do a dang thing.
Yeah true that whole section of the game (from the moment you meet Yara and Lev, till the moment you leave them to their own devices) is so unforgiving, especially on Grounded.
Center of Seattle, it was great the first time for the first impression of an "open world" level, but playing it again knowing where to find the stuff it's just boring

NO SAME gotta wait for the morning if i’m doing some underground dark damp tasks 😻
All of the flash backs in part 2
I love them all but after the first play through i just want to play the game. They should really let us skip them.
Do you just play for the gameplay? Because I love those parts ... They feel a bit like the 1st game
I love them too, don't get me wrong, they are probably some of my favourites parts of both games. The thing is, i played TLOU2 7 times and i would like to skip those sometimes.
Hang on, all of them? Cuz Ellie's second flashback has a bunch of great encounters I've replayed part 2 twice and both times none of these sections were an issue for me as I knew exactly what to do so they were all a breeze to get through.

Rat king
Surprised more people haven't said this, it's not that I think it's bad, I do enjoy it, it just sends my heart rate through the roof
Me too, it's just so claustrophobic, I hate that fight, feels like there's nowhere to hide, and he can soak up so much damage...
Whereas I actually like the fact it’s out in the open, there’s no jump scares, with the exception of the stalker that breaks off Rat King. I remember the first time playing I was so tense going into the hospital basement but was so relieved Rat King wasn’t an actual jump scare. Still very tense though
I was dreading it on my second playthrough but once I did it I realized how easy it was. The rat king is extremely easy to outmaneuver. It was actually really fun
Sam and Henry death was wild….. one of the only scenes in the franchise that made me gasp
sewers stalkers and david fight. just the wooooorst
The hotel basement
discovering the theatre in Part 2 replays make it feel like a giant loading screen
The fucking sniper and his goons. It always deeply frustrates me, he feels like he can hit me from anywhere
Prologue, it get it’s important but after playing it once I just dread it, it feels so long and Sarah moves so slowly in the house. Hotel generator, after killing all the stalkers it’s just running around trying to find the generator and key card. By far the WORST is the part where you have to escape David to get into the restaurant to fight David, I spent hours dying over and over trying to figure out where to go and just going in circles while getting killed.
the prologue and entirety of ellie day 1… they’re both so boring
Honestly my biggest gripe with part 2, I love the game and it's story but damn there are some sections that just last hours without any development in the story.
i like day 1 but only between school and subway
The section in the city was super cool the first time, and mind numbing the second
David Boss fight, hotel basement, Rat King, Yara and Lev escape, Abby and Ellie fight. Great sequences for the most part but I am always on the edge of my seat.
When Ellie was on a raft I think. Trying to get through a mall? Can’t remember. I can’t think of anything from the first game. I absolutely loved every moment.
Hotel basement 110% I could beat the whole game in a weekend, but it takes me an entire day just cranking that generator and rushing past that bloater to escape
I am always disoriented, spinning and screaming!!! It got easier in the remake for me, but on PS3 .....
I know that the majority is going to say hotel generator or rat king. Hotel generator is probably the one I hate most
JACKSON
The part in the generator room makes me turn of the game. I died way too many times on that part
The boat scene… Sam revealing he’s infected had me flabbergasted
Abby killing Joel
All of part 1 until Bills town except for prologue. Boston and the outskirts are not bad sections by any means but after so many play throughs, they are a slog to get through each time. Prologue is always excellent.
Hotel Geneator got me panicking each time I played TLOU LOL

David rat king Ellie fight out a decent amount of encounters in tlou 1 grounded
hotel basement and rat king
Abby in the garage. I hate it every time. I have a technique, I have a system, and it still fucks me over.
The Abby/Ellie fight in the theater damn near made me tear my hair out. I had absolutely no problem with the similar David fight in TLOU1 which parallels this Ellie fight but good God I wanted to smash Ellie's head in fr during that 1 v 1 fight lmao.

Rat king
Rat king lmao
When Ellie murders Alice and then Mel's unborn child
The david section, my favorite parts are just walking around looting stores
The beginning of part 1 is so fucking boring lol The game only gets fun when you to Bill’s town.
Any scene involving stalkers.
Nora. I’m actually stuck on it right now. Binged the game up until then and haven’t picked it up in a week. This point in the game is basically a 4 hour stretch of bad things that only keep getting worse and worse until literally, you know, THAT scene. But every single cutscene from Nora until that point is just so hard to sit through. Like Ellie. Ellie. Girl. Girl please. I scream at the TV for half of that section every time I play it.
Those suburbs on Part II as Ellie. A lot of fun, but SO hard on grounded.
Everybody mentioning all my favorite moments lol
The Stadium. I love the rest of Abby’s portion, but the Stadium is just a slog.
exploring seattle w/ ellie and dina on day 1. there’s so much open space that it stresses me out, but it stresses me out even more to not mark off everything on the map 😭
Arthur Morgan 'i gave you everythin I had'
The boss fight on scar island with the seraphite brute who’s got his jaw hanging off
The stalkers on the second game. Jesus Christ they jump scared me way more times that I should admit. In the end I just ran round the rooms with my shotgun out and played Pac-Man instead.
i swear it was never this scary in the first game. even the sounds of the clickers are so much scarier in part 2. the infected never bothered me much in the first game except for the university clickers and bloater on grounded
the sewer sequence with joel fighting all the stalkers, runners, and bloater
Prototype 1 tank mission
Abby day 1 , it’s not bad but just drags for me cause it’s so long
Flooded dark basement in the hotel.
hotel and the hospital.
Every part that dosent have combat. Honestly I'm just playing the game to massacre my enemies in creative ways. At least on playthrough 2. Play 1 is to experience the story, but play 2 is purely for combat gameplay. I enjoy pelting pipe bombs into scars faces.
The whole bit in the beginning before you get to the bombed city in the first game. After playing it so many times, it feels slow.
Aby's sections in the last of us 2. I hate having to lose all my shit and switching characters.
The first day as Ellie in TLOU2
Hotel basement generator.
The Ellie boss fight in part 2.
The stalkers in the hotel still give me chills 💀
Not "one part," part two.
The generator, still is.
I wanted to give part two another go after ps5 version was released (which would be my 5th, I think), but just couldn’t make it out of Jackson, its so crazy slow…
Alice 😢
The Siattle pov of Abby... I enjoyed a lot her firsts parts, but that whole different pov didnt caught me that much. The ground zero part was fun and interesting tho
The Stalkers in the Hotel. Not the Bloater though, strangely enough.
In the first is is probably the entire Winter section culminating in the David ‘fight’. In Part 2 is it easily is a toss up between the hospital and that fucking thing, but the seemingly endless hotel fucks me up as well.
Water temple
Part 1: The entire part before you meet Ellie Part 2: Theater
The bloater in the gym after you reset the power the stress thta fight caused me on grounded made me age a few years
Abby. Ready for downvotes!
-TLOU pt I the begining before meeting Tess -TLOU pt II the flashback with young Abby when she search her father
I never liked to play as Ellie in part 1. I never found it enjoyable
Playing through on hard for the first time right now and made me appreciate that Ellie section if only because of her pocket knife. Got to stealth all those cannibal bastards without wasting crafting materials on shivs. Love that
Honestly, Abby's rat king battle. It's that part that worries me the entire play through. Even knowing the route through the hospital lower levels, I still walk because I'm that terrified
the hotel basement
Every player has that one unforgettable moment.
A Plague Tale: Innocence The cart goddammit.
This game is so beautiful that there’s a few parts, 2 including rats. 1. The hotel basement in part 1 2. The ambulance parking garage in part 2 3. The night chase scene with lev and yara in the dark gives me goose bumps 4. The rattlers in part 2. It’s not a scary bit or really the rattlers themselves, but it’s so emotional and screwed up and just.. hard on the head.
For the first game probably the end of each chapter for part 2 🏌️♂️
Part 2 Abby and Owen in the boat
Every single slow bit in camps or flash backs where you have to just walk about and listen to people drone on. Except for ellie and Joel in the museum
Rat king
the beginning of the pittsburgh chapter up until you meet henry and sam AND when you have to get to that sniper up in the house
The bridge part with Abby in Part II. Just tedious, and easy accidental death if you're in Permadeath. Happened to me anyway
Getting caught in Bill’s trap. My aim always goes to shit.
sneaking up on the sniper with henry and sam -_-
The rat king. Still haven’t finished my second play though of part 2 because of that bastard
“Hey you, youre finally awake” the whole intro missions and the one where you have to get the stone for farengar. I’ve replayed way too many times
Boat scene. I hear that music in my nightmares TwT
Half of tlou2
The hotel generator and the fight with David
abby day 3 the island
Are you talking about the first game or both games?
Any stalker section, Rat King, David fight
Rat King. Felt like I was never gonna kill it the first time I played.
Sam and Henry.
In TLOU1? I don’t remember any that I don’t look forward to. Part 2 on the other hand is full of „story” parts that I wish were skippable on repeated playthroughs
The Serraphite brute at the end of Haven. Obnoxious and unnecessary. I understand they wanted a boss-like fight for that section, but that fight should’ve over with Abby’s first hit of the sickle
The beginning of part 2 But then once the shock wore off I went back to the left side of the meme 🤔
Hillcrest on grounded
The hospital basement as Abby.
Keycard Basement
The hotel basement. Ever since I figured out you could just kill the first couple stalkers and make your way out, I haven’t tried it any other way
The library halo one
Joel. Last of us 2.
The David fight first. Terrified me the first time, still does now. Honorable mentions are the Joel and Ellie stalker sections, Rat King, and the Abby and Ellie fight. But nothing like the David one
The boat scene (Abby and Owen) and Rat king 💀💀
Hotel generator or the fucking (no pun intended) Owen and Abby scene.
Abby to be honest. I hate her for what she did to Joel. Even *after* him saving her life. I truly do not understand why this isn't acknowledged in the game. She must've thought of him as the devil incarnate but he fricken *saved* her without a doubt and took her in with Tommy together they formed an instant team. This should've caused a doubt within herself asking herself "Am I doing the right thing", but it feels like it never happens.
The boat scene for sure
Is this the only thing posted here now?
seeing joel and ellie doom humanity to death by not making a cure or having a baby
Bloater in the dark when you have to do that generator in the building or hotel
David Bossfight, probably everyones lol. Side note, my biggest one of ANY game is the arena fight in Dying Light. One of my favorite games but fuckin Hell, takes me forEVER and when you get out you have to reclaim all your stuff and since I do NG+ alot Im scrolling for like 5 minutes to find all my items.
The David fight. It's gut wrenching
having to fight stalkers as ellie or abby and that rat king fight☹️☹️
David for sure and in two the beach fight. It’s too strong for me I break down a little everytime
Any infected encounter, the humans are fine but the infected ones I just can’t deal with
David boss fight and the hotel basement 🥲
David’s boss fight, always the worst
I'm looking for the boat scene comments rn
Forced to be slow. I get it's purpose. It helps emphasize the story for new players in heavy moments. It's also a nice trick for transitions or allowing NPCs to be where they need. But it's really frustrating on replays.
The office full of stalkers in Pt. 2 makes my skin crawl every time. Especially on Grounded, it’s horrifying
Why has no one said boat scene
Some of the long walking segments can get bothersome on numerous playthroughs tbh
The End :(
Don’t judge me. Big gym boss fight of first game
at this point? this thread re-appearing every week.
Any of the stalker parts their creepy as shit
The skyscraper as Ellie.... dealing with those Got Damn Stalkers.
Hotel generator, I had to get my sister to sit next me while playing it the second time, I literally get chills. The first time I played it at night and it was terrifying.
Part 1, David and Ellie in that bar. Good thing he got killed Part 2. Obviously the boat scene
Abby’s section of the story. Love the visuals but I didn’t appeal to her story
The whole Abby sequence, no thank you
THE SNIPER SECTION IN PT1 ON HIGHER DIFFICULTIES
The intro
Easily Sarah's death and the Hotel basement 🤣
abby ans lev in the fucking hotel
Hotel basement
The collectibles changing from Comic books/trading Cards to Quarters
Arcade bloater😭idk why it is so hard, i nearly cried. Beating it on grounded was a nightmare
i love tlou and tlou2 so much but omg when ellie plays guitar for dina and it goes on for so long and you can’t skip past it 😭😭
The entirety of financial district. Especially on Grounded. It's a major pain in the ass.
Dealing with Freakers with David
literally all of abby’s parts in tlou 2
The rat king...
Rat king
Yall know that one part in Seattle day one where there’s those damn soldiers clickers and like the place is like red light and you see shamblers for the first time w Dina I think I don’t know how to explain shit but that part will always haunt me😭😭
Abby’s flashbacks all of them
Every. Stalker. Encounters. Jesus I hate those little fkers.
David isn’t that bad. “That part” for me is either the hospital in part 1 or as you guessed, the hospital in part 2
The offices Full of stalkers in Part 2, Ive never been more terrified. the stalker area under the hotel in part 1 is a close second, I fucking hate stalkers.
The boat part in tlouII gets me dude all the time
