Idk... I'm always way slower than most of gaf. Idk what Ami does... I'd guess he is slower with games he likes and fast with those he doesn't?

Did you a die a lot too?
Because I die A LOT. There was this one part before this where I was in a dark hallway and tess and ellie were waiting for me to clear out the area. I think it's when you first meet the Runners. I died way too much there.
This is how I play in every single area.
STEP 1 ->
Methodically take out everything
STEP 2 ->
Methodically pour over every Room for items to scavenge
STEP 3 ->
Admire Art Direction (includes meticulously viewing every corner, bit of texture work, poster); Take in Environmental Narrative; Admire strongs and weak points of the visual engine
STEP 4 ->
Maybe move on to next area?

I died there I think 3 times at least. I am on Hard/No Listen Mode, so took a bit before I realized how open I could be with my kills on the runners before the Clicker would hear.
Not done yet, but I agree. This game is something special. For reference, here were my feelings about Uncharted 2- for which I got absolutely killed in the OT- back when it originally came out. I stand by them even now and, if anything, think they were probably too generous to the game/franchise. I have a great deal more respect for Naughty Dog now.

Lol... we have some common ground here. haha
Duuuuude
Seriously, I can't even begin to imagine how.
You have so far to go it's going to melt your mind.
Dude the thing is from now their are very open areas and very lenghty areas compared to the ones you played
i think you might easily cross 100 hrs
Naw. I simply like to stop and admire the handiwork of developers who pour love into the artistic direction of their games. They don't call me a graphics whore for nothing.
If your game is boring and not worth looking at I'll finish it in as quick as can be

Word to the wise. Never give Amir0x a copy of Ni No Kuni.
It might kill him.

Just finished it. Incredible game, in the top 3 of this generation for me. The ending was amazing and left me with many different and even conflicting emotions.
I honestly don't remember my playtime for that. I don't think it's some crazy long playtime. With RPGs it's a little different because let's say you have a great art design (which Ni No Kuni did), it's usually offset by me starting to tire of the battle system by the time you get closer to the end. So then I start rushing
Same.
But add in replaying encounters (I love that feature) that I found super fun. So great.

I did do this. If I thought I handled a situation really poorly (it ending in me fist fighting everything to death) I would hit the restart encounter button.

How does replaying chapters work? Can you select which section to start (for example
is split into
and
? What supplies and upgrades do you have? Does it reset your progress to that chapter?

I am adoring the art direction. I have some significant reservations about the game design so far, but I am still considering it a really strong game so far unless something changes.
Finished it earlier today.
My game of the generation, and possibly top 5 of all time. Took me just under 22 hours, which I thought was long, until I saw how long Amir0x is taking.
Just started New Game +, but I'm a little annoyed that you don't have all of your weapons straight away. I was hoping to run through the early parts of the game with the flamethrower.

Everything I've heard says that it only gets that much better from where we are.

I was at 99 and then I had a horrible game losing out on my required total of revives. Sadness.

I mostly agree, but as a horror ethusiast I will admit a few parts the atmosphere was strong, and I was really unnerved, tensed, and even a little scared during the (Winter SPOILERS)
David fight. That was brilliantly done and legitimately creeped me out, especially when he started hiding away from you and crouch running after you.

I do the same. The detail that's gone into this world is amazing, it's the best looking game I've ever seen for this reason. Even if they didn't stick stuff to scavenge in every corner, I'd probe every corner anyway just walking around admiring the artists' handiwork. Right now I'm at
the sniper part in that suburban area
That chapter is one of my favourite parts of any game I've ever played. I don't think anything will top that for a long while.
How did that happen?
two ways off the top of my head, self damage with a molotov or the (rare) enemies that throw them
This, but without STEP 3. It's a pain.
What i really liked about BioShock Infinite was the arrow that pointed what was the right way to go (accurately on the ground) so i knew for sure where i can go dig for stuff.
Yup. The game has some really shocking technical foibles which I didn't expect, but if you can get beneath it and look at the art direction... easily the most detailed linear world in game history. Nothing else even comes close. There is so much asset work here, and I'm only 40% through, that I cannot even imagine the accumulated time it must have taken to work up just all the individual textures. That's part of the reason it's taking me forever... so much of EVERYTHING is original.
Seriously the sound design in this game is some of the best ever in any game, period. I almost want to say THE best ever, but I haven't played every game, and I'm sure somebody will inform me about some miracle of sound design if I say anything in absolutes, but the sound design in this game is outrageous. Simply insane.
I really cannot say how much it moves me to see a developer put such equal care into the visual and sound direction, what a compliment and treat it has been.
I really have been taking notes on this game. It's one of the most fascinating games I've played all generation, no matter where I ultimately fall on it, that it's a wonderful game to analyze.
I'd have wanted "It's actually kinda pretty ain't it".
I threw a molotov at a character and he rushed me and set me on fire too :/

Games like this make me totally unimpressed with next gen graphics, I mean look at what a ps3 game could look like, everything I saw this e3 did not wow me as much and looked like incremental improvement, that includes the division and infamous ss.

Well, on the flip side, just imagine how awesome games will look near the end of the console cycle if they did this with the power of the ps3!
