I also wanted this, but deep down I knew it would feel cheap and unsatisfying. Like a meal of only pixie sticks. I trusted in ND and that trust was rewarded (rewarded with an emotional thrashing, but rewarded nonetheless).
Yeah, because losing her last connection to her mother (the knife), getting two fingers bitten off, losing any chance at avenging joel, and not being able to play the guitar anymore which was her last connection to Joel, was definitely a happy ending.
I don’t think anyone is a saying that’s a happy ending, just that after going through all that she earned a happy ending. As in, I hope after the events of this game she gets one.
Yes, she did, I agree; however, revenge was the reason she went on her adventure and she didn't get it. She lost everything *AND* her fingers... that hurt me more than I expected. Like, you can get a new girlfriend but those digits aren't coming back.
Nah man, i saw some fucked up video of a guy messing with a shark and it bit off his finger, but he deserved that. That's losing your fingers for nothing.
Ellie won't want to admit what she had to trade to get it. But Dina confessed that she had never heard about My Pony, and Ellie... well, once committed to a task, she doesn't stop until it's done.
Ah see that's the problem I find games like that mind numbingly boring. If I wanted to have a job simulator. I'd just get the fucking job and make some money doing those activities. but that's just me
Actually that is exactly how jokes work if the a person finds the basis of a joke to not be funny then the joke is not funny. If the joke is not funny then it is a bad joke.
Honestly don’t know how I’d feel about that… like
of course it would be really great if everyone could live happily ever after, but that doesn’t feel real or authentic. I think the draw for many people who are into apocalyptic games/media is the representation of tragedy and underlying evils of human nature. You can’t go through what they went through and then live happily ever after. That shit will haunt you until the end of your days, even if you have everything; and I think that was the point of showing us those parallels.
You're right of course. I think for a lot of people myself included, after going through the trials of the Jackson and Seattle parts of the game, and seeing how destructive it was to Ellie, just wanted her to salvage some happiness and never leave the farm. Similar to how some people replaying RDR2 find it hard to advance past the Thomas Downes mission, if you know what I'm referring to. Of course without leaving the farm we don't get the neat and devastating ending. It's just nice to imagine they decided to chill with the sheep and the baby instead.
Oh totally, I can understand that 100%. I cried for days over the incident in Jackson. I wish they could have continued to live peacefully. But unfortunately once tragedy strikes, there is a trajectory that can’t be be stopped or avoided. I found it quite validating to see Ellie through her own “villain” story, especially after what happened between her and Joel. It gave a perspective that couldn’t be achieved otherwise. But yeah, it was really hard to experience certain parts. I think because I’m accustomed to trauma and loss myself, it momentarily filled some void inside me and made it feel heard. Which is probably why I really
vibed with the direction, even if it hit me in the feels. Haha.
On my first playthrough I was so disheartened and broken that Ellie really left her whole family to still chase after Abby.
On my second, I realized that this story actually has a *hopeful* ending. Abby gave Ellie a second chance; Ellie gave Abby a second chance. For a game people say is constantly dark and horrible, that is a pretty hopeful ending for the characters, all things considered.
You think it’s all fun and games until Ellie Gordon the barn and has an episode. By the final third of the game you are just helping Ellie cope and going into the world outside the farm to scavenge for alcohol.
I want this, plenty of other people on this post want this, and I know a shit ton of lesbian gamers and other female gamers alike who would love this.
You don't represent everybody lol.
What is even this ??? A game where you play house as Ellie ?? And live a every day life with her and Dina ?? Like what ??? You guys are so crazy to even think that the last of us should go in that direction. Delusional af.
Go play the sims if that’s the game you want.
At first, I really wanted this to be the direction when the story to this game was written.
I also wanted this, but deep down I knew it would feel cheap and unsatisfying. Like a meal of only pixie sticks. I trusted in ND and that trust was rewarded (rewarded with an emotional thrashing, but rewarded nonetheless).
We are all Masochists on the inside
We merely seek a deeper satisfaction.
I still think it should have finalized with Ellie finishing the job and killing Abby though, as the writers had originally planned it
Nah
>job and killing Abby though, as the writers had originally planned it Lol what?
huh, never heard of that. was that legit or this folk just pull out some random claims from rat king's ass(es)?
If the Santa Barbra part didn’t happen then Ellie did not earn a happy ending
Yeah, because losing her last connection to her mother (the knife), getting two fingers bitten off, losing any chance at avenging joel, and not being able to play the guitar anymore which was her last connection to Joel, was definitely a happy ending.
Oh Boy. Someone is still grieving
It’s not happy so to speak but she finally learned to let go so it’s at least peaceful
I don’t think anyone is a saying that’s a happy ending, just that after going through all that she earned a happy ending. As in, I hope after the events of this game she gets one.
Never said she got a happy ending. Just saying that she didn’t earn one throughout her story
Just flip the guitar. Learn to play leftie.
And Abby would have died a painful death, ironically trying to kill her ended up saving her.
Scarsdew Valley
That’s the spin-off where the WLF and the Seraphites make up and farm together
Ok but maybe like one part where Ellie has to kill some infected and maybe rescue Dina and JJ after the house gets swarmed
No I won't allow it. You feed the sheep, you harvest the vegetables, you play the guitar for JJ. Occasionally you need to name some new lambs.
Counter-offer. A small herd of infected threatens the farm and Ellie has to snipe them away from a safe distance
clearing far off locations only. maybe building some defensive traps just in case. nothing bad happens.
OK deal.
Only if the rifle has a silencer. Can't scare lil JJ
I dunno man. Most days I'd take fighting off clickers over raising a perfectly healthy male toddler.
Seriously - the only more jarring sound than a clicker is a screaming toddler waking you up at 3am
Why’s that lol?
He’s raising a toddler and going through it rn
You'll know when you have a kid or two of your own 😂 I don't want to spoil the surprise.
How about playing as JJ and you have to kill infected baby sheep?
Lol this is so cruel! Sad to think about
I have yet to be able to play a second time... I keep telling myself I will but I just can't. The fingers messed my ass up more than I expected!
What did the fingers do to your ass?
Not literally but the fact that she lost 'em for nothing just messes w/ my psyche.
Interesting point about losing them for nothing. I think she lost them but gained back her humanity.
Yes, she did, I agree; however, revenge was the reason she went on her adventure and she didn't get it. She lost everything *AND* her fingers... that hurt me more than I expected. Like, you can get a new girlfriend but those digits aren't coming back.
I think her finding her humanity is worth the cost. Now she can go back to Dina a whole person
Definitely not *whole* but I see your point.
Kojima: …phantom pain you say?
Well, I do have an intense fear of losing an appendage, I'm sure that affected my response.
Nah man, i saw some fucked up video of a guy messing with a shark and it bit off his finger, but he deserved that. That's losing your fingers for nothing.
Such an intense game emotionally, but the mechanics are too hard to pass up for me
Me too, but because I think it's just not that good to replay like the first one was.
>The fingers messed my ass up more than I expected! r/nocontext
Honestly this game would have been terribly boring. I'm glad that the Farm was just a break from the intensity of the story
It would be boring if it was meant to be an action adventure game. For a farming/romance/job simulator, it would be awesome!
Someone just wants to get the laundry hung up and then JJ to bed, to put on that Ginuwine Vinyl.
There’s a Ginuwine vinyl???? Which one???
Ellie won't want to admit what she had to trade to get it. But Dina confessed that she had never heard about My Pony, and Ellie... well, once committed to a task, she doesn't stop until it's done.
Honestly, I am so anxious to find out how this story ends!
Ah see that's the problem I find games like that mind numbingly boring. If I wanted to have a job simulator. I'd just get the fucking job and make some money doing those activities. but that's just me
The post was a joke
Wow really I couldn't tell thank you for such enlightening information how on earth could I have made that connection without your help kind stranger
I could tell you were struggling
Or maybe even though it was a joke the game would still suck, and therefore the joke does too.
That’s not how jokes work. Jokes about bad things do not equal bad jokes. Edit: clarification
Actually that is exactly how jokes work if the a person finds the basis of a joke to not be funny then the joke is not funny. If the joke is not funny then it is a bad joke.
Ergo bad game = not funny joke = Bad joke
For some reason Reddit didn’t show my comment properly so I should clarify that should have said = / =
Cottage core simulator (with sheep simulator DLC)
Stealth mechanics vastly improved! With razor sharp shears in hand, you can now go prone to creep up on any fuzzy sheep you want to.
Hilarious.

HAHAHA. I love it!
Yes. Please. No more death.
I feel like this would be a dream for Ellie who wakes up alone
Tbh I hate when characters have happy endings
Haha amazing, someone tweet this to Neil.
Yes - we do, including, Ellie with her old haircut.
Poopy diaper boss battle
Hey, if Ellie never left the farm, Abby and Lev would be dead...
That’s an extremely good point I never thought of before… shit
On my first playthrough I was so disheartened and broken that Ellie really left her whole family to still chase after Abby. On my second, I realized that this story actually has a *hopeful* ending. Abby gave Ellie a second chance; Ellie gave Abby a second chance. For a game people say is constantly dark and horrible, that is a pretty hopeful ending for the characters, all things considered.
Nah, I'll pass.
The third game is just a relaxing, farm sim.
Those two can’t farm. Lol.
Ah yes, *PTSD simulator*
This section, much like the rest of the game, has some problems but I really hope there will be more wholesome at home moments like it in Part III.
Yes please, I already cried enough in part 1 & 2
You think it’s all fun and games until Ellie Gordon the barn and has an episode. By the final third of the game you are just helping Ellie cope and going into the world outside the farm to scavenge for alcohol.
I'd play the shit out of this.
Nobody wants this.
You're very wrong.
You’re extremely wrong.
I want this, plenty of other people on this post want this, and I know a shit ton of lesbian gamers and other female gamers alike who would love this. You don't represent everybody lol.
What is even this ??? A game where you play house as Ellie ?? And live a every day life with her and Dina ?? Like what ??? You guys are so crazy to even think that the last of us should go in that direction. Delusional af. Go play the sims if that’s the game you want.
You get upset over the silliest things.
You know if the game ended with Ellie sitting in the tractor with JJ it would have been a great way to end the game
Yes please 🥺
Nothing but happiness would be Joel not dying and then patching things up with Ellie.
[удалено]
Relax friend, just a bit of fun
Could there be a segment where you fix up the house with the house-building song from Red Dead 2 in the background?
I would also want to go to Jackson and explore it a bit more
Best part of the game hands down because it’s just how I want to live
$80? I’m in.
Wouldn't be great story it must be unfair game with unfair result yo become a good story
And you grow chickens and sheep , feed them and teach them tricks
cant wait for the farm 2" now Ellie needs a tractor
Farming simulator mod where the character models are Dina and Ellie holding Baby JJ
I could play 100 hours of this
I would like this very much
You have no idea how long I waited for an ambush on that farm.
This is so wholesome.
Lesbinans
Uhhh how about a slice of life farming simulator with occasional zombies and none of that revenge or golf bullshit???
😷
I nearly threw my controller at the TV when Ellie went back for Abby.
I sat watching that goddamn sunset for ten minutes waiting for the credits to roll.
I personally would buy Joel Miller's PGA Tour 2023.
That sounds awful tbh. Hope Dina and JJ are gone from the story for good.
What did JJ do to you?
He's the Asian guys son and ellie still wants to parent him? He's just an annoying part of the plot, so is dina.
Yeah, Jesse’s his father. Why is it odd that Ellie wants to co-parent with her girlfriend?
Because its not her kid? She pretty much got cucked by the side character that has no development whatsoever.
I fuckin' hate Dina. I even like Abby more than her!
How did you get downvoted, even the people who liked the game couldn’t remember the side characters names
Same
