That melee man, you can feel it!
I'm creeping up on a guy and he spots me, he's about to draw his gun so I rush him and make it just in time, I fucking mash the square button and break that fucking baseball bat on his head and that cracking sound just pumps through my headset. GOD DAMN!
Last few hours have been a friggin' rollercoaster ride. It's so hard to stop playing.

Check if RGB Full is activated and if so, deactivate it.
I think it's when a friendly AI shouts something like "enemy to your left!" and the enemy will get highlighted like a wallhack. Not 100% sure on that though. The game is better with everything off in my opinion.

I too am 4 hours in. I am going to play some more today before I go on a pirate themed booze cruise out in dc. The hard part is putting the game down.

There are a bunch of safes lying round the game that require the code. It shoudl be nearby to the code, like a grey box.

The intro succeeded in disturbing me. Significantly.
Hmm, I'm in a tough spot to search for them in this area... Very dard too.

I know you cant 'listen' using R2.
That intro had an emotional effect on me. That just doesn't happen to me with video games EVER! Bye bye Saturday. It's nice outside and I won't be seeing you
Finally finished this game. played for about 19 hours on medium difficulty and this is among the most tense gaming session that i have ever had. really tired after ending this game.ended the game in 2 sitings and had similar experience to re4 that i never wanted the game to end .
This is now my GOTG and among top game of all times. it has even surpassed re4 for me.
where re4 was revolutionary at that time this game is almost perfecting the same formula

OK, the framerate issues are getting way way way worse. The whole part where you meet Bill? It's not playable anymore, I'm pretty sure it dips into the tens quite often. It feels, plays and looks like shit. Also the jagged shadows are gross.
The comparisons to RE4 or HL2 are a fucking joke. Those two games were polished like crazy with perfectly enjoyable gameplay.
Last of Us feels like it's in some sort of beta status, running on the wrong machine. It's even way worse then what I expected and it's a fucking joke reviewers didn't pick these issues up. Are the standards really that low!?
Characters, world and story are great, Combat is well thought out and feels fresh, the survival aspects are great...but it PLAYS LIKE SHIT. Man, that's frustrating. I will finish it and never again will I touch my PS3 again.

That's some serious hyperbole. The framerate is certainly less than optimal but it does not drop anywhere near as hard or as often as Shadow of the Colossus. It's not even remotely close.
It's a shame they couldn't achieve a stable framerate, though, as that issue in combination with the more subdued visual style gives one the impression that the game looks a bit worse than Uncharted 2 and 3.
OK, I haven't actually made it that far. Just 4-5 hours of gameplay thus far. It hasn't been that bad.
That said, suggesting that HL2 was polished is the real joke. The game was a technical piece of shit at launch and for months afterward. One of the worst first impressions out of the gate I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. The fact that it was a PC game and future hardware would end up handling it more smoothly was about the only thing that could save it.
Interesting, I have the opposite issue with this game. Even with brightness at minimum, the gamma is too high for my taste. I might disable the RGB full option on my TV while leaving it enabled on PS3 and see if I can achieve darker blacks.

How were you playing? I've found that going slow, working as a team, ambushing, flanking, being stealthy, is the way to go. Trying to go lone wolf like CoD will get you killed.
Just play as if you were playing single player. The MP has that same kind of feeling and tension.

How's the framerate? consistent 30?

Would you agree with everyone else that the second half is amazing and much better/mote intense than the first half?
Haven't gotten to there yet, just curious
Yes

Not consistent no. It reguraly dipped for me. Especially during parts with water I was getting sub 10
Yeah, I think i was probably playing too aggressive. Gonna try again with more careful approach.
Hahaha I know where you are. From where you picked up the note got to the direct opposite side of the area, as in do a 180. There should be a counter of a shop and behind that is the safe. Obviously use the flashlight when it's dark
.Edit: Hahaha. Oh well nevermind seams you found it anyway.
I give you the code you give me the safe fellow GAFfer!

Shadow of the Colossus had some pretty bad framerate issues but it didn't stop a lot of us in declaring as the best game for the PS2. Frankly for me, despite the buggy partner AI, buggy enemy AI if you disturb their conversation, the fact that you cannot move the bodies, aliasing, blurry textures, other graphic bugs, stupid restart bug that makes you miss all your melee attacks, it is still one of the best game for the PS3.
Are you kidding me? Just read this page! It's shit.
You are in for a treat.
I didn't play it at launch, so I take that back. However, I played RE4 on the gamecube and that was an amazing experience with great tech to back it up, even by todays standards, a true classic. In comparison, Last of Us is like the PS2 version of RE4. Just worse. The underlying quality is completly fucked by the technical issues.
Are you serious? Crushing your blacks is like the worst thing you can do to your image quality.

Well that must be your standards because while I did feel it dips sometimes, I never had it going into the tens. It's not unplayable at all. It doesnt play like shit.
Honestly I am wondering if you didn't push this in your Ps2.

I honestly disagree, all those issues combined with the save fuck up have made an average game at best. Im simply not getting this tense experience everyone raves about because im onstantly being reminded im lplaying a bugyy game.
No, it dips a lot here and there. Also, I've had some odd pop in and rare disappearing geometry.
So far it's been playable though.
Well, one would hope they start doing some proper QA next generation. Bugs have already killed this game for me, average mess.
Oh and the framerate is quite awful at times.
Sure my standard is 60 FPS. I don't know if it drops to 21 or 19, but it's very very low. You basically loose all your control when engaged by multiple enemies. It's gross. If you think sub 30 fps plays and looks just fine, well,then your standards are pretty low, no offense.
Here are my impressions after about 24 hours and reaching level 12 or so (Supply Raid since I avoid elimination game types at all costs).
good
+ The maps are decent except for The Dam. Some tense choke point shootouts.
+ A few of the Tier 1 and 2 perks get interesting once you start leveling. Playing Medic and chasing around weak teammates while slowly healing them is fun.
+ Rarely have I had an enemy spawn behind me.
+ Don't think Listening Mode is nearly as OP as everyone thought it'd be. Seems to only last a few seconds before recharge and requires you to move at a snail's pace. Rarely felt the need to use it.
+ Being able to heal self while moving.
+ Rewards teamwork. You lone wolf, you die.
bad
- Constantly in and out of crafting menus for the entire match. I realize this is what differentiates this from Uncharted MP, but having to press Select, R1, Down, Craft Ammo after every few kills gets old quick, even though I can now fly through the button presses with the speed of Bruce Lee.
- It's hard to judge how visible your character is when peeking around a corner, more so than any other TSP. Not good for a shooter with gunplay that centers around stealthily ADS'ing around corners.
- Reminds me how every TPS needs a Gears 3 cover system (and control scheme).
- No blind firing?
- Spotting lasts way too long (I realize there is an "impervious to being spotted" perk). Still game-breakingly OP. Fortunately nobody realizes this yet.
- ADS strafe speed feels too slow. Needs slight boost.
- Can't see this holding my interest long term, especially when SC: Spies v. Mercs, a much more interesting, complex, 4v4 competitive MP game, releases in a month.

Dunno whats up with you guys.
The game is great and I can't wait to get back to it.

I'm fighting the Hunters atm. I'm playing on hard, with very little health and no listen mode. Loving it.

I agree my standard is also 60 but I can live with 30 and even a dip here or there but it dips so often it becomes unplayabley sluggish.
Oh you could read the posts to get some idea.
Damn, I'm really concerned to see these complaints. I was genuinely hoping that it wouldn't get any worse than it already had. At this point, it has been a slight bother but not a huge issue.
This game would make a lot of sense to release on PS4 at some point in an enhanced form. Though, I suspect it would take some effort to port over as a result of the architecture differences. :|
Uncharted 2 and 3 certainly seem a lot more impressive from a technical standpoint.

Not very good. I hope at least the multiplayer keeps a consistent framerate, it's not game breaking (at least not yet) in the campaign, but it would suck for competitive multiplayer.
