Make entirely linear, very narrow one option path - get criticized for being overly linear.
Make more open ended game with less hand handholding - get criticized because player doesn't know what to do.

Depends on which sequence you are on, but if you are in the part where the hummer is in the middle of the street and you are inside a house, then you need to cross to the other side without the Hummer seeing you ( just wait for the flashlight to move into another direction). Keep playing, that part is awesome
You fucking run. You think your peashooter is going to do anything against that thing?
This is just my opinion but it's one of the best games I've played in a long while.

Eh no, not really.
I only got 3 trophies popping up, 2 of them at the end for the difficulty trophies ( they do stack).
I didn't check the trophies yet though, since I really don't care about them, but yeah it seems glitchy since only 1 popped the whole game.
I was happy with this though, hate that fucking "pling"...breaks the immersion for me.

Do the comics amount to anything outside of just another collectible?
The firefly pendants are in the "who gives a shit" territory for me, but if Ellie likes the comics I hope there's some acknowledgment in the game.

And on this day, the mobile version was not the superior version.

Does anyone else find the ridiculous weapon breaking and inability to carry all the ammo you find in a survivor game immersion breakingly awful?
If I was trying to survive in a world like that I would jam bullets up my asshole if I needed a place to carry them that badly. This aspect of the game does not add the tension they are looking for. It's obnoxious. Pipes don't break after hitting someone with them and shivs should be reparable if they are made from half a pair of steel scissors.

QUOTE THAT SHIT DUDE
a lot of collectables leads to interaction and knowing more abt the world
It is right though that the trophy are glitchy. Beat the game on Hard and the Hard and Normal difficulty unlocked but not easy. Replay the very last segment again and go through the credits unlocked the glitched trophy though.
Saying that, Last of Us may be my favorite game from Naughty Dog. Its certainly better than the Uncharted series they did this generation (Not that they are bad games at all, love them as well) and it finally knocked off Crash 3 as my all-time favorite game from them. Game is just really damn good.
I didn't get any trophies after beating the game on normal.

run up to it and start meleeing it

It really is tough to design non super linear levels for everyone. One interesting touch was the theme of yellow that appears in whatever "transition" path between areas. Like yellow police tape, or yellow paint on concrete, yellow pipes, etc. So, if you're lost, try to look for the colour yellow.
I also think the frequent checkpoints was a concession to make the game more friendly to the masses.

Ten hours in the game and this is already one of my faves game of this gen.
BTW I think something is wrong with my game...
Ten hours and not a SINGLE trophy has poped up. I'm playing digital. Did this happened to any of you guys?

How many hours you've been playing? I'm about 63% after 9 hours 45 minutes. At the
dam with Tommy
What part/percentage you at?

I felt exactly the same way at the start. When I saw my companions running in front of enemies and them completely ignoring them was really fucking weird.
This however won't happen for the most part of the game so keep it up
But yes, overall the A.I. is a bit dumb. But most of the combat scenarios work really well, specially with infected. The start is definitely the worst part when it comes to this, IMO.
Good to know. I'll keep at it. Like I said, literally everything about this game is completely up my alley, but combat is a big part of the game and if it doesn't get better it will make me sad that I can't enjoy the full package.
You'll get your first when you craft whatever you haven't so far.

I can't agree with this at all. Tomb Raider not only feeds you a hell of a lot more ammo, but movement is a lot more fluid and the game even gives you special evasive moves. It might be the difficulty you're playing at, I've beaten both games on hard.

yeah, i think i got 2 in total. after looking at the list its obvious they dont want to shower you with rewards
Yeah, it made think about
Lara Croft. Ellie, the teenage mass murderer. I was expecting some of the enemies to say something like "she's just a kid for christ sake!".

Ha, I agree. After awhile I felt bad for the dudes coming up against Lara. She becomes a human meat grinder towards the end

Amen.
It's amazing. Basically a one hit kill. Love it.
Also on the subject of Tomb Raider, I really liked that game too. However I'm pretty sure TLoU is what Tomb Raider was trying or rather was supposed to be. Like maybe when the game featured supernatural creatures and a more survival horror concept before they decided to rope in the typical TPS crowd. There was 0 survival to be had in TR, at least a little ways into the game.

Naughty Dog already commented on this I think, it was done intentionally because they didn't want the "bing" popping up and breaking the immersion.
It sounds like if they had the decision, this game wouldn't have trophies at all.
Hah, that's normal. First play through I only got 4 trophies, 3 for being the game complete/difficulty levels. I found it rather pleasant not having the notifications while playing the game tbh.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Tomb raider felt way overpowered, I never really felt like I was helpless.

Read Frank's note a little while ago...damn. that's some tough love (or ugly hatred).
I'm at a point in TLOU where I'm shotgunning every runner and clicker that comes at me with ease, and it also helps that I have that Jean Grey ability to see through walls/floors/buildings to know where any zombies are. Not saying TR is undoubtedly better, just saying I had more fun with it/had more thrills/thought gameplay was designed a bit better. Don't want to derail this thread though!

Maybe that's why they turned around and made it so you require 4 minimum play throughs to get the Platinum, plus some multiplayer. Bastards. Good thing I stopped being a Platinum whore (well by my standards anyway).

Oh! Thats awesome then. More games should do this.
Ellie grew up in a hostile environment and was raised by the Fireflies. I am sure she was well accustomed to killing and seeing people killed before she met Joel and Tess.
Also,if you finished the game,
you know that Henry said that they don't spare children.
