Do it. Just don't bail on the thread in a month like I probably will.
I got kids, man.

Well, yes. [intro spoilz]
It was predictable, especially given what we knew going in. But the fact that you see this girl acting so mature early on, and then the way she cried after being shot, reminded you that she was still just a child. It was terribly heartbreaking

The voice acting and mocap sold it. God damn it really hit me hard. I'm not even embarrassed to admit it nearly made me cry.

DAMN MY WIFE.
She has it wrapped up for me for Father's Day. Sitting in a goddamn box. On my kitchen table.
That I can't open until Sunday.
Guess I'll play some Dragon's Dogma until then.

This is my first Father's Day. My daughter is going to be 6 months old next week. Uh oh.
I knew what to expect as well but I just didn't think it would hit me that hard.

Would you say that the game has picked up? Or I haven't even reached that point yet?
That's where it starts to pick up.
I absolutely agree. That was one of the most terrible and amazing moments i've lived with a controller in my hands. No videogame has ever made feel that way... I knew what was going to happen, but Naughty Dog's amazing narrative, full of good old dramatization techniques, made me forget about it and... Nearly cry. My hands were shanking fore quite some minutes after that, though...
Maybe someone should open a thread about this, because i feel Naughty Dog has broken some kind of barrier. A taboo about showing some things.
I dont want to get too spoilery though
Kinda stuck now..
Near the end of the
edit: nevermind.
Near the end of the
bus station underground tunnel area, we have to walk across trucks and that. however I end up falling in (since I can't seem to be able to jump) to the water. I end up getting scooped into a corner and unable to move (and I can't die unless I press buttons. If I touch nothing for a few minutes, then I die). And in my latest try I ended up bugging the game out by flying through the wall that was blocking me killing me by drowning. So any help?
edit: nevermind.
I avoided the issue by jumping into the water where there was a straight line past the yellow truck. After that, I swam to it and got out

Awesome, can't wait.
You know you can just walk up to them and shiv them right? Like right in front of them.
just avoid them ..sure it's not always possible but try to sneak past them.
Not gonna lie. This game is MUCH more enjoyable as a shooter than as a stealth game.
I tried playing it as a stealth game early on, but it's honestly not that fun. Just going all full melee, throwing your nail bomb, moltov, that powerful punch of your shotgun, upgrading your weapons. It's just incredibly more enjoyable and has really given this game a boost for me.

The worst areas are where there are both clickers and runners. If a runner sees you, the clickers also seem to know where you are.

Make a spoiler thread for only the intro? That would be neat.

I think everyone knew what would happen due to what was shown and known of the game before we even played it.
But it does hit you hard, the voices and mocap definitely made the scene
tears were very nearly almost shed
Nope. Well, at least I think there isn't.

Just noticed this game uses some sort of fake raytracing for the flashlight. Pretty neat. First time I've seen this used.

Ok I'm just gonna say I did cry at the intro because I was struggling to hold back my emotions. And yes, my hands were trembling, my chest felt tight, and I just sat there in complete awe of what just occurred.
Well it even works for runners. Just turn your flashlight off and press the left stick sloooowly forward.

How do you switch from a gun to a melee weapon that you're carrying, like a shiv or plank of wood?

Square.
So I just lost 11 ducking hours from one sitting, because the game wasn't saving progress. Back on ducking part one. I am not even that much pisssed, but yeah. I feel like I lost half a day for nothing.
I hope for skipable cut scenes, but that will be in. Duck.
I should have known better that when I couldn't exit to main menu,that something was happening. Love the game and Wil blitz through it. Nothing was saved. Nothing.
Duck again.

to use the shiv, you need do sneak up from behind, press square to use melee.
OMFG tell me about it.
I mean this is probably the most satisfying melee system I've played in a game this gen. Aside from maybe arkahm asylum.
It just has real weight, and a real sense of "punch" to it. Especially when you can add things to your melee weapons. God damn.
Honestly, my favorite tactic for a runner is just to blitz straight at them and wack em with the bat and the shiv attatched. SOOOOOOO satisfying.

dude, you need to use Bow and arrow on runners, so mush fun!

Well I knew of that already, I was just hoping there was a more elegant way of switching to melee rather than pressing a button that makes Joel yell and swing, but oh well. Thanks.
