The Last of Us |OT| It Cant Be For Nothing (Spoilers)
- Thread starter Pranay
- Start date
Besides you can have 2 big guns on you, 2 hand pistols on you, a brick/bottle, 3 molotovs and some other stuff - I fail to see how this is not a lot of weapons.
OMG IM SO HYPPPPPPPEEED
Seriously thought it was a conventional ending that was incredibly incredible. Happy that it's a bit more complex than that =)
More reason why people should start out on Hard. The less supplies/ammo the better.

Omg man you're killing me, I cant imagine what some of the encounters in this game are like. To think that the demo only has a couple enemy types and I've played it over 20 times, I think my PS3 will die with this game inside it.
Seconded, I had no hope for complexity but this is great news
There's plenty, don't worry.

Loser slave of the system :(
Infinite was my goty too but this game is easily overtaking it so far. Let's see how I feel once I finish it.
My main issue is that you accuse this game of having bad impressions yet I haven't found any, and you refuse to post any.

Alright, time to bail out of this thread...see yall in probably a few weeks.

Quite frankly any game that is easily overtaking Bioshock Infinite before it's even done is a damn good game, can't wait to hear your thoughts once you're done, sounds like we have similar tastes.
And how much ammo do you have on hard for those though?
Maybe I'm just the stealthy type as I rather avoid any chances of alerting infected.
But we were are telling you, that no such people exist..
please link us all to the negative impressions, because I have not found any.
the game is a 96 on metacritict and is being loved by everyone on GAF ( and I mean everyone) that isn't enough for you?
to be honest your post is kind of strange. You seem to be looking for someone to convince you its not a good game..
Would be nice if you could explain it to me.
I haven't played it on Hard, only Normal. And now I started on Survival.
I'm also the stealthy time, and thus you'll end up with loaded guns so that will come across lots of ammunition you are stocked on. Even when using some of it. But it'll probably be different on harder difficulties.
Would be nice if you could explain it to me.
I haven't seen it, and won't see it till I get to experience it for myself
But are you saying it's not a simple straight forward ending? Reply in spoiler tags please.
about 7 hours in. It's ok. the start is great even though it's a half life 2 type of intro, meaning it's like sitting in a taxi. It's really just the recent splinter cell with better production. On rail games like this don't deserve such praise.
some great aspects are the torch effect, the drag is very natural. The acting production is simply amazing, as well as the graphics.

Something sounds fishy here. Troll somewhere else.
Maybe it's just not your kind of game.
What would you want? An open world?
Also spoiler that.
As of now I'm aware of two low scoring reviews, one of which I'm sure you're aware of, and the other can be easily found by visiting GameRanking or Metacritic. I'm personally under the impression that they're more or less click-bait for people who have a desire to not like the game for whatever reason, as for others, I can't exactly link you to every reasonable sounding anonymous post on /v/ and I doubt you'd go there anyway for fear of spoilers, nor would I blame you for not wanting to.
That said, I'm taking it all in with a healthy grain of salt, which is why I was looking for input from someone with lukewarm impressions, more or less. Also, I don't think I had an accusatory tone at all. In any case, this is obviously not the place to find that sort of information. I only wish I had been aware prior that such a request would be so frowned upon, as it seemed entirely reasonable at the time.
Well I'm trying duh.
useless SCEA!
So you want people to shit on the game for you?

Listen, you keep doing this and your stay is going to be incredibly short on this forum.
STOP POSTING SPOILERS or GTFO.

Wait 'til the game is out and more people start posting their thoughts. With games like this it's harder to separate hype-induced hysteria from deserved praise, and get a feel for whether you'll like the game or not.
If what you've seen of the game so far hasn't convinced you to try it, then take the wait-and-see approach. Personally I'm hopeful that I'll enjoy the game and am willing to buy it to find out.
why is that a troll comment. the game is like splinter cell.
You stealth around and grab people from behind. There is about 7-10 enemies per area. closed off areas and quick time events here and there like opening doors.
Its a troll man, ignore him. And from someone who has seen the opening, he is full of shit. Trust me.
Sounds like to me you have watched some random youtube vids and made a conclusion off that.
post your copy of the game.

hey wait, i don't want to get banned.
I have been playing it all day and I didn't give anything away. I'm not sure why everyone is upset.

Going back and tagging your posts would be a good start then mate, you didn't do anything wrong in terms of content you just need to filter it better.
what do you mean tagging. as in blacking out my comments? I'll do that if it's upsetting people.
timmaysmittay

Yup, black it out.
If you want people to read it then just let people know what it is ya know?
Example: Just played the beginning! TAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAGTAG
It isn't cool to just openly describe it.
Edit: Hahaha I'm really trying not to be an asshole but it just seems like common sense to me, sorry if I come off harsh but I tag everything that I think someone might not know which is pretty much any gameplay element or setting, takes like 2 seconds.

Standard things change on higher difficulties. Less provisions, more damage required especially hand to hand, some enemy variations e.g. something popping in Survivor that didn't happen on Hard. Normal sounds like no problem but I only did Hard and Survival both with no listen so I'm not sure how easy or challenging it is. Start on Hard without listen for a true experience. Should take about 15 hours (took me 17).
Also, I wouldn't worry so much about conserving ammo as the game is designed to be friendly with the ammo drops when you have 1 or 2 bullets left. You'll see when you play it. A lot of games do something similar. I believe Uncharted does as well.
There's some great weapons to find. Loved 2 in particular....
Had a few glitches on my run throughs but one was pretty random and actually helped me out a lot and another just instant killed me though it's completely avoidable.
Y'all be treated to something nice once you get it.

if you didn't want to get banned than YOU WOULDN'T FUCKING BE POSTING SPOILERS IN THE GOD DAMN OFFICIAL THREAD WHERE NOBODY HAS THE FUCKING GAME YOU MOTHERFUCKING TROLL.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Its gonna be a lonngg tome at work today, I just wanna come home and play it. -_-
What did you think of the game overall?
..How the hell are you even coming to that kind of conclusion, at all? Because I'm interested in the possibility of hearing from someone who doesn't find it completely excellent, I automatically want the game to be shit on? That's a hell of an exaggeration, and absolutist logic at best. You're practically saying if you don't love the game and think it's 100% the best thing ever, you must absolutely hate it in it's entirety. Incredible.
The one reasonable response I've gotten. This is what I had planned to do originally, I just thought perhaps someone who had snagged a copy early might have shared their own impressions that weren't entirely in line with everything else.
Will probably still pick it up, I just can't say I see the harm in wanting to know if anyone had any issues that hadn't been brought up at this point. This is literally the only time I've seen people become offended by such a light inquiry, and it's made me wary of even bothering in the future. No worries though, I'll refrain from posting with regards to the subject any further, and I sincerely hope everyone enjoys playing.
I'm in tears.

The genuine, experience-destroying trolls just had to be let in a week or two before this, didn't they.
Huh, I didn't know Last of Us had actual lockpicking and hacking mechanics, multiple modes of movement speeds that can affect AI detection depending on your relevant distance, dynamic lighting system that can affect your visibility, sticky shockers, sticky cameras, nightvision goggles and so on and so on... yeah, it's nothing like Splinter Cell.
If you mean Conviction then I can somewhat understand the similarities.
