Yes...made it. So bloaters are blind like clickers, I guess?

So 93% done and I'm getting a real bad feeling about how it's all going to end. It can't be this simple or happy. No, this ain't that kind of game or story or genre. And ND has developed these characters so well...I'm scared for them
i believes its fixed, the hunter sections seem to be the ones where you have to kill them all and it seems scripted when more arrived
thats just from what i have seen, if someone else knows for sure............
Correct, runners and stalkers can't detect changes in light (though it doesn't really matter for stalkers) and Clickers and Bloaters can't see. You lose your vision gradually as the infection takes over.
I can't wait till you finish the game and tell us what you think of ellie compared to liz than.
ok, beat it last night. Have to say that it's a really really good game.
The crafting system added a much needed and refreshing element to a genre that was stale to me.. Never had some much fun kiting enemies into my traps.
Basically this has been my best TPS experience in a long time.

It doesn't spawn reinforcements from what I have seen but it will call in the reinforcements from another area. For example, I was making my way up a building. On a certain floor there were 3 hunters that I could seeon my floor and my listen mode saw a guy or two upstairs from the range I was in. Alerting one of the 3 downstairs made it so I was suddenly fighting 7 guys. After dispatching them, I found that no one was upstairs which means I had effectively taken care of both floors at once.

Beat the game in two sittings. No, it doesn't mean I beat it quick it just means I actually enjoyed the game so much that I played for like 5 hours one day and 8 the next. I haven't done this since Jak 2 on PS2.
Loved the game, truly like nothing I've played before. For me the game-play and design decisions are really what made the game stand out, and could turn some people off. I thought it was refreshing and added a lot of realism to the game itself. I was really forced to pay attention, plan, scavenge, and think about what my next move was. I loved it. The story was superb, and I loved the ending. Oh, and I never used listening mode, it took me out of the experience, I just kept my surround system turned up.

Man just finished, wow what a ride. All in all great game, I played it like Metal Gear for the most part, sticking with stealth kills and bricks/melee until I was caught. Also had a tendency to murder nearly everything in sight, though I did avoid clickers when possible.
Ended with 547 kills, 38 deaths (mainly clickers) on normal. Really should have played it on hard, at times it was dead simple to clear the room with just silent takedowns. Took me a total of ~14 1/2 hours to finish.

Ah, that makes sense. Because I went through a section where I broke my stealth a couple of times and ended up fighting what felt like 10 hunters. When I redid the area without any mistakes I fought what felt like the same amount only spread out.
I think the first half of the game is in summer (although there isnt a title telling you that), then the seasons change to Fall, Winter & Spring..its pretty obvious when they change. Sounds like you may still be in Summer

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So I had this happen with Uncharted 2. It would always get stuck on the spinning dagger and never load. (Every other game in my collection was fine, just UC2 was fubar) I bought another copy of the game, thinking maybe my disc was damaged, but it wasn't the disc.
For over a year I couldn't get UC2 to work.
Around the same time I had an issue with my profile, I couldn't sync trophies. Now, I cannot recall exactly what I did to fix all this, but it wasn't really anything to do with the game data or patches.
I tried booting into safe mode and rebuilding the database. Even wiped my system and redownloaded everything. Didn't work (don't do that!) I'm pretty sure what eventually fixed everything: I had to redownload the PS3 firmware and install it via USB device and that fixed (iirc) my profile/trophies and subsequently allowed me to play UC2 again!
If you cannot get the game to work any other way... consider that, it's not so hard to do. You have to boot into safe mode and do a couple tings, but there are a bunch of tutorials or whatever online or on youtube.
Hopefully if nothing else works that might. It fixed UC2 for me.

Need help? I wanted to do it, but this game has sidetracked me lol

I guess so, since the infection continues over time. I though they could see at first because I kept getting run down by them. You can lead them with a brick or bottle, which is handy.
I've had a much better experience with the Multiplayer since Day one.
Communication is a MUST. You will be able to see or 'hear' you teammates getting flanked or snuck up on and you have to be able to tell them. Since my restart I'm only on week 2 but I beat my challenge and I have ~44 people in my group. I have yet to miss a day without supplies but it's getting damn hard. another few matches and people will start to go hungry.
Yup. Cut off listen mode as well as all the tips too.
There's a slight easter egg with the main menu after you beat the game.
Let me know if you spot it.
what is this easter egg you speak of?

Wow wish I knew this, wasted so much time taking the bloaters out because I thought they could see me (tho molotov+nail bomb works wonders)

Man, the official topic title is way more meaningful now after finishing the game. Just a damn perfect title.

I honestly believe had it come out after The Last of Us it wouldn't have gotten nearly the scores it got.
That's not to say it isn't a great game still, it is. But this one absolutely dwarfs it in terms of writing.
Sorry Ken.

Normally I never notice stuff like this, but the sound design in this game is incredible.
Wow, you're going to have a blast when you finally get around to playing the Galaxies, HL2:Ep.2, DKCR, Dota 2, and Portal 2.
I've played all of those except Galaxy 2 and DKCR.Wow, you're going to have a blast when you finally get around to playing the Galaxies, DKCR, Dota 2, and Portal 2.
I prefer StarCraft II to MOBAs, anyway.
I talked to one of my family friends playing it right now and I asked him how far he was (I haven't played much PS3 in the past year). He replied that he was a little over halfway and then he also thanked me for showing him Uncharted and ND... this game must be incredible, lol.
Will probably pick up in a few months once I have the time to play it

DKCR, DOTA 2, Portal 2 are nowhere near the top for me.
HL2:EP2 and the SMG games... now were talking.

Is there a trick to stealth killing a clicker with a brick?
Nope, can't do it. Have to use a Shiv.
This is getting ot, but I could probably play Dota 2 at the expense of every other game for the rest of my life. The heights of most games can't touch the average match of Dota for me.

For those who are ahead of me and upgraded a fair number of skills, what would suggest to upgrade before I waste my precious pills? Right now I only have 1 Maximum Health and 1 Weapon Sway slots unlocked.
I've got 75 pills... and I'm not worried about the Listen Mode upgrades, so:
Crafting Speed, Healing Speed, or Shiv Master? Or should I save them until I upgrade Weapon Sway or Max Health?
I'm incredibly indecisive to begin with, so a game with this limited supplies is killing me.
(Playing on Hard, fwiw)

where did you stop>?
I did the two you did first and think they're heads and tails above the rest, so you may wish to just save up and upgrade those again. I also did Shiv Master, which I like but OCD kind of compels me not to use unless I have more than 1 shiv on hand. (Hate seeing those shiv doors with no supplies around and no shiv to spare.)
I craft before encounters, so outside the odd mid fight scavenge emergency, crafting speed seems largely irrelevant to me. Healing speed could be useful though.
Sounds brutal, but I'm down
