A funny bug in The Last of Us Part 1 gives Joel two kids to take care of during the events of the game. The Last of Us Part 1 is a full remake of the PS3 game, and it just came out on PC on March 28, though the launch hasn't exactly been smooth.
Despite a lot of hype leading up to its release, especially with the success of The Last of Us TV series, players are experiencing various on the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1. Gamers have reported running into frequent crashes, long loading times, and general performance issues, resulting in The Last of Us getting review bombed on Steam. It looks like The Last of Us on PC suffers from some other issues in addition to crashes and poor performance.
A Reddit user named Faith-ToSpeak has shared an image showing a bug present in The Last of Us Part 1. This image is from the earlier hours of the game, and players can see two versions of Ellie on the screen along with Joel and Tess. In the post’s title, Faith-ToSpeak mentions that Marlene tasked Joel with taking care of only one kid, as this image shows otherwise.
The comments section is filled with other users making funny remarks about this bug in The Last of Us Part 1, with one player jokingly claiming that the other character is Ellie’s twin sister Allie. Some fans also play around with the game’s title, such as calling it The Last of Us Two, The Last of Us Part Too, and The Last of Us: Clone Wars. Fans should note that the comments section may include some spoilers for the ending of The Last of Us.
Faith-ToSpeak confirms that the other Ellie was not just standing around or stuck in the level, as she was following the player through the mission, prompting a fan to ask about the bug’s impact on certain gameplay sections later on in The Last of Us. One user also wonders why gamers haven’t made mods that replace Ellie’s character model with Joel’s daughter Sarah’s, though a vast majority of the comments are jokes.
Naughty Dog has acknowledged the issues present in the PC version of The Last of Us Part 1, and it has already released two fixes for the game. It’ll be interesting to see how long the studio takes to fix the major problems experienced by the user base, and if the Steam rating recovers as a result.
The Last of Us Part 1 is available on PS5 and PC.
