I microwave steaks.
Yeah, in it's unaltered, non upgraded state it's a terrible piece of garbage. Used it about a total of two times
besides when the game forces you to use it
The beginning is a little hard since you really don't have many tools at your disposal, but it felt like the game got progressively easier as it went on. Played it on normal.

If you want to get through the game as easy as possible, I'd go for Easy. It's pretty challenging even on the lowest difficulty.
upgrading the range helped a bit. Seems like bodyshots kill squishy targets so you don't need to headshot. I don't use it on armored enemies but it helps a lot thinning out enemy numbers since it's silent.
it will, id recommend easy if u just want to enjoy the story, because you WILL die on normal

I haven't even bothered using a bow. There are far better choices to go with at any given time. Unless you've blown all of that precious ammo and health packs
The bow is actually probably the best weapon in the game. Particularly towards the end.
You can kill people from a distance silently. What more could you want?

I'll try upgrading it, and upgrading weapon sway.

Is there anyway to turn off getting healthpacks automatically? Why does this happen? Or am I missing something? I think twice or four times now, I've gotten health packs automatically. Pretty sure Ellie isn't giving it to me either.
I love the bow too, but ammo is so scarce. It got me out of this one part when I made some nice stealth kills. Using the weapons is so satisfying, but I try to melee because I HATE how loud the guns are. They scare me, and I get paranoid. (That's a compliment).

Who are the random bad guys killing random civilians? You see it when Joel and Ellie leave the city with Henry. They shoot down two civilians, and then comment that they have no food. Are they the Fireflies, or the government, or just random bad guys?
7h 44min in. Just hit the E3 2012 demo area. Never before have I played a game that has delivered so well on all of it's lofty promises. The human AI is truly remarkable and unpredictable. Aesthetically the game is gorgeous. The amount of care and unique detail put into every area is astounding.
Bricks and bottles thrown into corners to set up runners for takedowns. A direct hit on clickers with bottles or bricks to initially stun them, then melee.

Only 4 hours in but what's up with shivs?
After I use it once is it gone? And after every time I craft one does it require even more resources then before to craft again?
If stunned will regular melee work? As in no need to be holding an item?
I'm playing on normal and have died 7 times 4 hours in. Thinking about dropping it to easy to just enjoy the story but my pride is stopping me.

as I've said before this is the hardest part of the game I've played and I'm at 52%.
Here's what I did:
1. start by heading down the hall to the right and stealth kill the dude there. Nobody will see you.
2. remember that infected can hear you at max crouch walk speed (at least on hard, but play it safe)
3. great way to deal with infected is a grab as they walk past a corner. You can grab from the front if they are unalerted.
4. the clicker CANNOT see you. You can stealth kill guys in front of him and he won't do anything. He also doesn't seem to respond to thrown bricks.
5. a distraction brick should get the armored soldier guy who patrols around the clicker to come to you, and the other guy has a predictable pathing. That just leaves one more who does nothing but walk around a pillar.
6. I finished the clicker by just getting some range, hitting him with a brick and shooting. You can shiv him if you stealth up, but I didn't know that at the time and would have saved the shiv anyways. I think brick stun then melee WITH a weapon will take one down as well.

Wow. There is a cutscene with Ellie and
that is just amazing. It's incredible animated and acted.
I'm going to say this has to be the GOTY. I can't see how anything can top it.

those aren't health packs. There's food and such lying around that's an instant heal, but only does a bar or less.

Okay I'm in the part where there are a bunch of clickers walking around and I have to sneak around. Where the hell do I go? There's a lone clicker standing in front of a gate on the opposite side, but I don't want to waste a shiv on him if that gate doesn't open up and I'm supposed to be going somewhere else...
Distract him with a bottle or shiv him, then look up from where he was standing. I got stuck here too

Is anyone experiencing this multiplayer lag/glitch where your character cannot move at random times for like 5 seconds?
It is absolutely infuriating.

I've had that a few times. It was constantly happening last night. It's been much better tonight.

Sneak choke the runners,
and sneak shiv kill the clickers. It is the only way to sneak kill them afaik. Sometimes I just throw shit somewhere and wait for the clickers to follow the noise. Avoiding the clickers all together is sometimes a better option, although, some of them drop decent ammo occasionally.
Im playing it on hard with the silence thing turned off btw.

Throw something to get the clickers attention. After that it'll start roaming around and you can stealth kill it if you have a shiv. This works in general when you've got a clicker up against a wall that you can't get in on.

Thank god, I'm not the only one. My pace seems a bit faster, 55% at 8 hrs. But with people saying they're only up to the E3 area at 7 or 10hrs, are we rushing? It doesn't feel like I'm rushing
Would what be the definite point where the second half starts? Pittsburgh,
meeting Henry/Sam
entering the sewer

Soooooo, the recommended way to play is Hard with no Listen mode right? I don't want the game to get too easy after a certain point but I'm not a masochist.

So all of Pittsburgh wasn't part of that amazing "second half"? Cause...well, damn

Just got to the first workbench, I have two weapons
, should I bother with upgrading them, or should I hoard my scavenge points?
revolver and 9mm pistol
I personally love the bow, makes being stealthy easier from a distance, plus the ability for chance to retake your arrow. I've been using the bow a lot on the hunters when they are still not aware I'm around.
btw: Is there no way to drag a dead body? I find it a little odd that once dead, I'm not given an option to drag and hide the body. Kinda makes it less stealthy when the hunter's pals figure out someone is near by.

I focused on the fire rate of the former you mentioned.
LOL Good luck boys. In hind sight i probably would have dropped this game without listen mode.
I didn't bother.
Bow makes me remember ocarina of time <3
I'd recommend making sure you get the holster upgrades ASAP, but the cheap basic upgrades are fine. You'll always be using those guns because there's not enough ammo to go around and you have to switch constantly.

Beat the entire game on Normal without Listen Mode, don't regret it for a second.

The intro is cinematic gaming done right, chilled me as much as any zombie movie.

To people who just started it, the first 10% of the game look horrendous compared to the rest. It will definitely look better as it goes on.
