Summer is by far the longest season. The others go by pretty fast
Just met Bill. Soooo gooood (The sequence and finally getting dat shotty and some major upgrades)
A few questions:
- The black controller sign that pops up from time to time (to tilt) does what?
- Is there a way to evade Clicker grabs if you have no melee weapon to attack with? I seem to see the NPCs doing it
This is the best game I've ever played and it's not really close.

The controller sign is it telling you that your "batteries" are low in your flashlight and you need to shake the controller (Six Axis) to reactivate them.
As for evading Clicker grabs, you can invest in a skill (the pill section) to use a shiv and escape a grab. Definitely worth it.

It happens when your flashlight is failing. It gets it working again.
Thanks! Man, I hate to put this game down but I also don't wanna blow through it lol
Another question: Is it worthless trying to headshot clickers with a pistol? Seems like it's better to stun them just shooting anywhere
Should have said something. Had a line on a store breaking street date in LA.

Hit them with a brick or bottle, then get 2-3 headshots in, game over.

thank you.
on another note; did anyone else tear up in the intro? man. there was something so real about that.
also; i think this is only me, but i don't think the story is that good; or maybe i'm so sick of post-apocalyptic cliches and themes that it doesn't feel fresh to me...
it's still engaging, mind you, but i guess it comes down to personal tastes... i've prefered the world of Jak and Uncharted much better.

Damn this game is just so good. Having trouble finding the combination for the safe in the hotel, that place is huge.
Loving these sandboxes, lots of room to play hide and seek and try different approaches.

It depends if that is the last Clicker left. If it is, downing them with a headshot isn't a bad move.
Otherwise shooting creates a lot of noise.
Just a reminder, a bow headshot on a Clicker is a one shot kill. (Their heads explode) Investing in the bow helps out in the later sections if you want to play stealthy.
Except in cases where the game expects you to clear the room, it's better to just ignore the clickers. Early game weapon spoilers:
If you do need to kill them with a weapon, I find an arrow to the head to be your best bet. If they are not alerted to your presense, it seems to always work as a one hit KO

I think it's due to the fact that Ellie is much more relatable and feels like a real human being.
Elizabeth might as well be an alien because she does not react the way a normal person would in any circumstances.
Ashley Johnson, and yes she is great.
damn, i just got to the part that was the demo and i guess i'm going to have to quit playing this game. i have a bc fat launch ps3. in the two hours i have been playing this morning it has locked up twice. the hard drive starts making a screaming clicking sound and the game freezes. i'm scared this game is going to kill my ps3. fuck. i'm really enjoying the game too.
I don't think they interact more. The density of the optional conversations I've seen are much much smaller than BI or even the demo playthrough of this game from last year's E3. It's certainly a far better game than BI, but I wish they'd put a lot more of that optional stuff in there.

So I finished the game around 4 am this morning. Dat fucking game....Needless to say, I'm onto my second plathrough right now (New Game +).
Dat summer section, dat fall section, DAT WINTER SECTION, dat spring section. Every moment is a fucking gem. So much love put into this game.
Simply can't stop playing it. It's that engaging.

You'll get an infected twist on horde mode with one of the MP expansions or I'll eat my hat

In Survivor, is ammo scarce as well? Or just crafting materials?

Multiplayer is amazing, really tense and interesting while being fitting to the game's theme - pretty addicting! They really knocked it out of the park with that one, I was expecting Uncharted-style online at best.

How do you start a New Game +. I just finished about an hour ago and I'm ready for more. I started a new game on a higher difficulty. I just met up with tess and grabbed my backpack, but none of my weapons from the previous game are available.

The game has froze on me now 5 times -_-
Getting REALLY fed up with it. The game is great but the constant freezing is so immersion breaking.

Wow that was fucking fantastic, 13 hours to completion, but I always end up in the lower playtimes with games anyway. Can't wait to dive in on hard plus. And I've still got the multiplayer to try out. Man this is the best game of the year by far for me.
anyone experience a weird glitch near the end in the last chapter?
when i was carrying ellie and got caught by the soliders i would see joel get beat down and shot but the background was just pure skybox i tried getting caught another couple times and the same thing happened

I'm not saying the AI is terrible. I'm saying it's the only thing in the game i found weak. Mainly the human enemies. The clickers and runners weren't that bad. I noticed TONS of times where a dude is just running back forth like it's glitched. The other complaint i noticed a few times. Lets say i'm on the third floor and kill the last guy with a gun. I'll put on listen mode and see a guy sprint from the outside all the way right to my face. Just found it odd.
I remember UC being pretty good with that. But it's been awhile since i played them so maybe you're right.

Yeah I'm having terrible luck with ammo drops from enemies, but when I do get them it's like small little gifts from god. It's much better than opening drawers and cupboards and finding them empty; that's almost soul crushing lol.
Man I must be playing slow, 11.5 & 49%. Fwiw, I'm on hard with listen mode off. It's the only way to play.
Do all upgrades carry over?

Yea I am with you in being sick of post apocalyptic stuff, especially after just playing through Walking Dead. However I am loving the characters and the script and I am really anxious to see what's going to happen next. Lot of emotional resonance with Joel. Reminds me Sawyer from Lost.

How old is your PS3?
It didn't freeze once on me.
I bought it in fall of '09. It's one of the first slim bundles.
I really don't want to buy a new PS3, but I will if I have to.
I beat this last night; I thought it was just amazing. Favorite part was
. I will say the shooting mechanics did take some getting used to they could have been a bit better, but still I just loved the story, characters and world so much it more than made up for it. Easily my favorite game this gen.
the whole Lakeside Resort chapter so intense
Yeah there are so many empty drawers in this game. Such trolling

It's fucking scarce. No exageration. You can be shooting at 100% and it'll still never be enough. It's tense as hell.
Don't let that put you off from trying it though. If you beat it on hard, playing on Survivor won't feel too alien to you.
I haven't beaten the game yet but have yet to earn a single trophy. I've also read that the trophies may be glitched (perhaps as a result of the autosaving bug) and beating the game won't even give you the "Complete the Game on Hard Difficulty" or whatever. Can anyone that has completed the game verify which trophies you earned?

You're asking that here? The answer is going to be pretty obvious

Any hints for the part I am at? I seem to get eviscerated rather quickly...
Hotel lobby in the dark, you turn the generator on and get swarmed, and there is a hunter leading the pack.

Just finished it. For the first few hours I kept wondering what the hype was all about. It was pretty good, but nothing amazing. Then eventually it clicked. Loved the hell out of it. Best in the old man/young girl games.
