I'm getting emotionally attached to this game.
It only happened once to me before and it was with Demon's Souls.
Yeah I know I'm weird.

This game is quickly becoming one of my favorite games of the year if not the generation. I wasn't really feeling it until I early on in the game when you first leave
. I think it was right around the time I encountered Bill that the game really took off for me and it's been on a steep incline of excitement ever since. I'm about 8 hours in now and I'm really not wanting the game to end any time soon.

I was there for about seven or eight. At one point, I went to step away and then was like "After all this...they deserve some more peace."

I'm exactly like you man, was admiring those same textures a few hours ago.
There's so much to take in every room it's almost overwhelming.
When they release a PS4 game I'm going to spend ages admiring it, it's why I keep replying their games again and again.
I'd love to dedicate my life to this stuff. Oh well, too late now.

I demandd to kill all of the enemies for a long time but then I got kind of tired of searching dead area of the game to every little thing and starting moving on. When I got to the University I ended up not having enough gear any more and managed to walk right past some tough segments.
I will say that I really dislike the parts of the game that are waves of enemies. Some of the later ones are really amazing and intense but I feel like it goes against the 'fight or flight' feel they had been going for.
Too many collectables as well IMO. I searched everything like a crazy person for 8 hours and I still missed a good chunk of the goods. I am not looking forward to HAVNG to use a word for word walkthrough to handle it later.

You actually can't even open that door until the runner and bloater are dead. Even if you have the keycard. But I used two molotovs and a few shotgun shells, and they both went down without a problem.
Man, that part was amazing. I just legged it, was attacked by a runner on the way, took it's head off with my modified weapon and kept running. GF was having a laugh at how twitchy I was.

Of course you can, I did it.
On my second try I knew what I had to do so made a quick dash to the door, it was over in seconds, didn't fire a single shot.

It didn't work when I attempted it. But as soon as they were dead, the card-reader became active.
Are you playing on easy or something?
I got through without killing the bloater.

That's not true, I got past that part without killing anybody. Ran around the place juking fuckers like I was Bo Jackson

I was also able to do it. just started the generator and ran like hell. got to the keycard reader and opened the door before anyone got to me. My heart was beating SO fast...
Playing on Hard.

I'm playing on hard.
Its a marathon, not a sprint. I was moderately thorough and finished in 18:46. Could have spent a bunch more time on it, could have spent only a few hours less if I rushed.
hahah same, i was shitting my pants as my courage fled me.

maybe you attempted to open the door without swiping with the card?
sometimes i game

Curious: what do you think of the cars? Items on tables, like toasters? Some things look great, since things look generations old to me.

Not true. If the power is on you don't have to fight. The door works if the power is on. Maybe, you just pressed triangle on the door instead of the card reader

I don't know what he thinks but I think there's only so much that can be done with that amount of memory and certain assets are given higher priority when that memory is being juggled.

Yeah, to anyone whose system seems to be struggling, I'd advise caution. Give it a rest every so often and let it cool off.
Uncharted 2 killed my launch Phat. The PS3 shut itself off mid-game and never powered up again. When the repair guys opened it up to get the disc out, they said it looked like the GPU had melted down.
I love Naughty Dog, but am acutely aware that they push the hardware to the limits. Beyond the limits even. From 'Making Crash Bandicoot':
PSA: Back up your saves people.
You never know when the end might come.
PS3 noob here
I am in Canada, and my friend left for a three week vacation in france. He lent me his PS3 and I am trying to buy Last of Us. The game is sold out in my city, so I decided to buy on the PSN store. Problem; his psn store is in french (even if I put back his XMB in english). Will the game I buy be the french version ? Is there even a way to know ? It's not written anywhere on the product page...

Damn game is sold out everywhere, bloody hell..
You can change the language in the option menu. I take it they have that in all versions, even digital versions.
-edit-
If you want you can make your own profile with an address in the US and shop from that PSN region. You need a US PSN card though. Also pick a state with no extra taxes, like california.
thanks.
man i which my HDMI cable wouldnt produce white dots on his ps3, that sucks, the cable works well with my 360 and bluray player.
I'm watching a Youtube of this being completed on Survivor with no Listen mode. He's not finished so he obviously runs and reruns these sections before he posts them but man do they make my playthrough look bad. I was constantly scavenging for items, whereas he basically does every section as quickly as possible, only grabbing essentials and he's low on health and has virtually no ammo the whole time. Craziness.

I tried both, and the Triangle didn't even appear over the card-reader until they were both dead.

Duuuude... The flashlight light bounces off other people oO
Arne, how's the atmosphere over there at the moment? Champagne, caviar and cocaine on every desk?
Amazing work man, I hope everyone is pumped.
In one of the making of videos from last year, an asian woman that works at Naughty Dog talked about that. She talked about it for about a minute. Not verbatim but said if the effects weren't correct, the game would look sterile/dead. If a flashlight is on a red wall it needs to reflect back red. Attention to detail is what makes their games look so good, other companies don't have a chance because they just throw effects all over the place.
Edit: Remembered it wrong, it was a few people here's the relevant info:

Can you post the link?
Metalmurphy

That I had noticed before, but making it bounce off actual moving models is something else oO
Anyone happen to have a link for that making of video?
I hope not, U4 won't make it self.
The triangle wouldn't appear over the card reader for me until I tried jiggling the door, I only killed a single runner in that room though before leaving. Lured the bloater downstairs and then booked it upstairs.
I edited and linked it above.

Playing on normal and that's exactly what I did, too.
Was so damn intense. I loved that part.
Most of the folks are taking some time off. So if there's any rock and roll excess, it's not in the studio. Then, there are those of us who are here...
I think we're all pretty stoked at the apparent awesome sales we are reading about, and coming off the high of good reviews. It's been great to work on a great game like this - and I think many, if not everyone, shares that sentiment.
too bad the PS3 has no share button because I had the scariest death not too long ago. Was stalking a guy who walked into an alley between houses, but when I turned the corner he wasn't there. He had nowhere to go.
I walk forward a bit, he magically appears from thin air and murders the shit out of me. Jumped out of my seat. I then respawned at some totally random checkpoint in the middle of nowhere.
But yeah, the game's insane detail and polish makes bugs stand out more. Things like AI characters not abiding by stealth doesn't bother me much though.

1. Great Sales (Sold out everywhere practically)
2. Tremendous Reviews
3. Mostly all super positive feedback from fans.
What more could you want?
Congrats again on such a phenomenal game. Honestly, my favorite game of the entire generation.
I've had weird houdini hunters as well. I ain't even mad, I'm loving the tense jump scares.

85%, the game gets very difficult when you have to

is one of the best lines in gaming history
play as Ellie
Tell them that Ellie is the little girl who broke your fucking finger
It wasn't even available last Friday at the first place I went to (Walmart). It was definitely undershipped.
