I don't understand what you are annoyed about. Do you want the whole game to be constant sneaking around/gunfight gameplay? Of course there's going to be some downtime between events, where you do some light puzzles & scavenge around for items. I didn't love those parts, but It didn't subtract from the experience.

But Resi4 had about 4-6 hours of inventory management.
We'll just have to agree to disagree then. I think it works well in this game. You sound too impatient.

To any owners of the UK/ROI PAL version: what languages does your copy offer? I see English, Polish, and Russian (I think).

This really feels like MP you should never play unless you have a dedicated team of people. Randoms aren't going to cut it at all.
Absolutely.

This is a great game, but the amount of sloooooooooow walking/slow "puzzles" and shit you do, I can't see myself replaying it any time soon. RE4 this aint.

In all seriousness though, HL2 had a lot of slow moving sections, a lot of slow walking, and of course the absolutely painfully long vehicle sections.

Is there more than one ending to this game?
Also any difference in playing a +game after beating it versus just another regular game?
The ending kind of left me wanting more. So fucked up that Joel just basically fucked over the entire planet out of selfishness. Thanks alot pal.
I really really like this game. Which is very strange because I find myself thinking how slow it is at times.
This game is really fucking hard for me, too. Not sure why. Aiming isn't so hot and the one hit kills from the clickers is messing me up. I need to hurry and find more pills.

I have all the patience in the world for media that is engaging in some form. Press triangle to see elaborate animation or slowly moving a pallet across water for the fifth time is not very engaging or intellectually stimulating.
The last 10-15 hours of my gameplay time prior to The Last of Us was trying to 1CC Ghost 'n Goblins, a 10 minute long arcade game, for instance.

The best thing:
Smoking a cigarette while playing the Survivor game mode in multiplayer, moving slow, fearing getting spotted, smoke rising. So badass.

This is true or at least if some of your teammates have mics. That can help immensely for the teamwork and notifying people where enemies are. From what I've played so far, if I am in a game where at least 3 people have mics on my team (including myself) then we will do extremely well. If not, and it seems like the other team does (from pre-game chatter), we will get dominated.
It also helps just to stick near teammates in general and is the best when everyone runs as a group to overwhelm the other team with numbers. So far it's pretty hard to go against a group of 3 or more running together unless you have the exact same number, are outfitted better or are a much better shot and quicker at it.
Unless you get lucky and get behind them but if they're communicating it's still hard to take out more than one or two.
I know I'm going to love the SP when I start it but all I can play right now is MP, and I'm just playing with randoms. I don't give a what.
Just go to the save menu and highlight your latest save, the completion percentage will pop up for that file.
Should be; damage-wise it's no different from Hard, apparently.

The amount of downtime is one of my favourite things about this game. Before I played it I was worried it was just going to become too action orientated.
When you get attacked it feels incredibly brutal and sudden, especially if you have a good sound system or headphones turned up loud. I don't think you'd get this if it was more of a shooter.
The greatest achievement is the atmosphere, I can almost smell the damp as I'm scavenging, something else that would be compromised if you were shooting bad guys on a more regular basis.
I'm about 60% into the game and I'm loving it. I'm a big fan of Children of Men and the book The Road, this game feels like a great mix of the two.
I think this has lived up (mostly) to the hype.

If anything there's too much combat. My favorite parts of the game involve going through the levels, scavenging for supplies while listening to the NPC banter. When the violence comes it should be sudden and quick. But when you're tossed into one area after another with the onus of clearing out the random mooks contained within, it gets really repetitive.

Is there any reason to shoot a human shield, besides looking badass? Does it have any effects on the other enemies? It seems to me like a waste of a bullet that could be used for someone else

i feel the game would have been better without some of the gamey upgrade crap.
Excellent. Thanks.

You're just pointing out the downtime or palate-cleansing activities disguised as the relatively mundane reality that these characters inhabit. It's never going to make an exciting gameplay montage, but most of these things never do. I agree that it's not quality time spent in a game situation, but the experience could suffer without it breaking up what is really a fairly straight-forward action game peppered and bookended by cinematic realism.

I microwave steaks.
Encountered this interesting glitch (no spoilers) where Joel is somehow immune to attacks and he cannot inflict physical damage either. I wish it was enabled throughout the whole game D:

Nothing he said is wrong. It's just different people have different tolerances for that stuff so you for example might not mind all of that whilst something else finds it annoying. I'm kind of inbetween, it does hamper replayability but it's not really a big deal for me.

To those complaining about the "boring" parts compared to RE4:
Not every game has to be or should be nonstop action for 20 hours straight. Unfortunately most games are. It's called pacing. TLOU is perfectly paced. An intense opening, a slow burn introduction to the characters and the world interspersed with moments of violent conflict, the main plot and motivations are established, and the tension and intensity begins to ramp up. There are moments of high activity (conflict) and moments of low activity (exploration, brief puzzles, etc.). The slower moments give the action a sense of weight and unexpectedness. And the action enhances the sense of calm and relief in the slower moments

you sure? I don't have it yet but it does specifically say only 'full durability' shivs won't break. Not that I know how to check a shiv's durability.
You kiddin that was amazing!
Yeah my PS3 sounds like it's about to take off into space too
Yeah, I spent the last ten minutes trying it out. Full durability, full stock of shivs, doesn't matter. They still get used up during a clicker grab.
