Little details you might have missed in The Last of Us: Part II (Spoilers)

I love the details of those beautiful creatures. They're like some Lovecraftian/Bloodborne things.
She doesn't control differently but the camera perspective will change when you look down from a high place with Abby. It changes to like a sort of zoomed out fish-eye lens effect and she also starts visibly shaking and is audibly frightened. Also, her face will show her fear with her eyes opening wide.
Hm. I was trying to get something like that to happen, but I just never really noticed it I guess. I think it would have been cooler to have Abby perform worse when higher up. Like less accuracy with weapons. Mostly felt like the fear of heights thing was just a somewhat shallow way to add some complexity to her character.
You also hear her panting and quivering when she's near ledges, she's completely terrified. It's honestly very easy to notice IMO, I don't know how anyone could miss it.
I thought it was yet another thing added to help humanize her. Adding a very natural fear to an otherwise physically big strong character was a neat choice. Doesn't have to effect gameplay for it to add to her character.
Yeah, I get that. Like just creating a real weakness in an otherwise very strong character. But it didn't really pay off or help me feel like Abby was anymore real. She walks across some bridges and then falls down. But that's kinda the end of it.
The thing is, this isn't restricted to that one sequence. She will have this scared reaction to heights at any point in the game if you look down.
This is fucking gold, hahaha.
has there been any references to fraiser in this? its the one of the main things that comes to mind when i think of Seattle. only played through once but i didn't catch any
i dont see why it cant be both.
God - Naughty Dog are just amazing.
This thread just makes me even more amazed at TLOU Part 2 - a game that is now up there as one of my favorites of all time.
Hmm, my bad, misread initially as for directly incorporated into gameplay, so sorry if that's what you're looking for. But anyway, if you (or others) didn't see the actual visual effect here it is:

I fucking hate these things. Especially how you can see their eyes reflecting light.
Wow those bullet fragments in the water.
And yeah, one of my favorite moments in the game was climbing the dinosaur. Probably one of my favorite gaming moments ever.

Manny Death Scene, Tommy Kills Manny with a sniper rifle - The Last of Us Part II
And another one down. Tommy manages to kill one of Abby's friends who is also responsible for the murder of Joel Miller, his brother. Tommy with the no scope...

holy fuck, how did I not catch that. Thought it was just some random bearded dude.
Damn damn damn.
This is not really an in game detail and maybe I am just reaching. But I noticed during the credits, one particular frame looks like a moth, like the one on Ellie's guitar and tattoo.

The Last of Us 2 Credits
Big thanks to Sony Interactive Entertainment for sending me a copy of this game. *Game description* The Last of Us Part II is an action-adventure game play...

Yeah, the flashback scene with Tommy having Ellie snipe the stragglers sets up how he's a good sniper and in Day 3 they overhear some WLF talking about a sniper at the marina and Jessie correctly assumes it's Tommy.
The ending is perfect for me. I don't buy the idea that Ellie wearing Dina's bracelet means they're back together somewhere else (Jackson?). The entire return to the farmhouse sequence, to me, is about driving home what Ellie's quest for vengeance cost her; a happy, safe home, a family of her own, her ability to play guitar when music apparently is such an important thing for her.
It's telling for me that the whole farmhouse is empty and abandoned apart from the room full of Ellie's stuff. To me that implies Dina left and she did not want anything of Ellie to remind her that Ellie chose revenge over her and JJ. Ellie plays Joel's guitar one last time to drive home that she can't play it properly anymore and then puts it aside and leaves it behind, symbolically showing us that she is done on her quest to avenge Joel's death and she is aware of what it has cost her.
God I love this game.

these dudes are so moist and nasty. it is like their face is gonna fall off at any momentI love the details of those beautiful creatures. They're like some Lovecraftian/Bloodborne things.
Ellie should be able to harvest those spore tomatoes and throw them at people.
Another fun fact: the music that plays right after is called "Eye for an eye" :D
Their insight must be massive!I love the details of those beautiful creatures. They're like some Lovecraftian/Bloodborne things.
The moment I saw that ladder and the window I knew trouble would get in through there. I would have put so many explosive traps if the windows have to be left open.

One thing I wish they'd remove is your companions ability to knock you out of cover. Happen quite a bit during my intial playthrough.
It's clear Dina left alone. I mean... Ellie's stuff were literally just there in a separate room. That wasn't a coincidence. People are grasping at straws to make sure Ellie was happy when she wasn't. That was the point of the game. To show how much revenge can fuck up everything around us.
Couple more things:
When Tommy is sniping Manny and Abby, the sound of his gunshots is realistically delayed depending on his distance (you'll hear the bullet hitting first, then the gunshot).
In the theatre, Ellie bites Abby on the right arm, pretty much same place where she got bit.
Ellie shields her face when breaking windows and stuff (surely known by most, but haven't seen it mentioned here).

Don't know if this was mentioned but I noticed this during my NG+ run.
A piece of Ellie's hair falls by her face if you run, dive, jump etc. but if you stand idle long enough, she'll put it behind her ear again
I believe the same thing happens with Abby and the hair that falls in front of her face

More of an observation but adult Abby is always checking/stretching her shoulder as an idle animation.
There may be no reasoning behind it other than it looks cool but for me it came across as her being uncomfortable in her own skin. She built this body to kill the most unkillable dude in the world and now hes dead and shes uncomfortable with the price.

That's an interesting observation. I'm guessing it'd be hard to verify if that's the real reason, but it does seem plausible!
I saw that as an effect of a ton of bodybuilding. You're kinda always sore at the joints and stretch everytime.
So many people missed that :D
You clearly see tommy in the end when Abby throws him off the pier.
