The purple-ish one when you get the bow is crazy, someone should screengrab it.

This is such a good game-it ruins other games. After I finished this game-I went back to chipping away at my backlog and they just seem so...plain and boring in comparison. Naughty Dog are geniuses. I bought the Season Pass the minute I finished the game simply to support them and watch the documentary.
Climb the ladder, as if to proceed, but go right, not left, you'll shimmy over the broken staircase and pick it up

Fall
Special mention for making a survival horror game an actual survival horror game. Resources/ammunition are definitely scarce, throughout the entire game (well up until where I am now). I'm used to swimming (and subsequently always disappointed) in ammo/med packs/grenades and whatever by the time I hit the halfway point in every survival game I've ever played. Not in this one.

If I remember correctly, it's on a note upstairs on the same side of the safe. I remember getting it and then dropping down off the ledge to go to the safe.

Scholar and gentleman, you are.
Find the ladder and climb up. Instead of going left got right and hug the wall to get to the elevator. There is a note with the combination and inside the safe is one of the best training manuals in the game 
*edit*damn I am slow...
I disagree =P RAGE held the mantle for me before.

So what exactly do the Game Hints, Strategic Hints, Tutorial Hints, and Keep Tag Popups settings enable/disable?
Cause I started a Survivor playthrough, set everything to off, and still get tutorial hints, etc.

Anyway, so my Hard playthrough was 17 hours 3 minutes. Now for Survivor, I'm planning to go super slow, examine every detail, appreciate everything (especially after watching the Grounded documentary)...
Hope I can get 20hrs+

So guys, I got this game last tuesday, and I've been taking my time with it plus have not been able to put as much time into it as I've wanted, I'm basically 63% in the game with 9.5 hours. The start of the second half if you will, and even though I've not experienced what is to come (yet hearing how the second half is amazing), looking back I appreciate the pacing of this even more now. Starting with a bang... then slowly starting back up, gaining momentum, and then running full tilt. I think it really adds to the overall experience. I'll be sure to see if this is my thoughts after beating it completely, but I get the feeling it will. Call it a hunch.
I know right. I get so much use out of that little thing.

Finished my first playthrough and it was an incredible experience. I love the art and sound design and the character interactions and story are definitely among the best the medium has to offer. I really didn't want the experience to end, but don't really want to jump into a second playthrough right away as the experience was so concise and self contained that it is enough to just sit back and reflect on the whole event.
My only real gripe is that the companion AI breaks the immersion when I am trying to stealth. I wish that the characters would hold back, or follow directions and act in accordance with your play style. However, the experience of the game minimizes that issue considerably.
This is by far my favourite ND game and a very well crafted balance between cinematic story telling and interesting gameplay. I am happy that I didn't have to wait until PS4 came out, but I am sad that I will have to wait 2+ years into the new console's life before this team can release another game.

PM them to me. Don't wanna derail.
Heh, have to admit I was hoping someone was going to quote me and tell me I was wrong. Now I'm more worried than before...
Since you guys brought him up, why was he banned? For this? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=54264105&highlight=#post54264105
That seems odd, considering what he was responding to, let alone the duration of the ban (four months?).
Edit: Maybe the post in question was deleted?

Where is the Making of The Last of Us? Is there nothing like that in the game to unlock like in the Uncharted games?

It's a gimmick weapon that's decent for killing multiple Clickers.
Its uses are really limited.
Is it me or this game suffers from sound issues ?
In the cinematic, sound is a shitload lower than in the game. I brought all sound bars to 1/4 except for the "movies" bar and it's still shitty.
Wtf.
I dont want to put up subtitles for cinematics only.
edit : seems like balancing issues. some voice are loud as fuck while others are barely audible.

It is godtier against infected. Especially bloaters.

I think it's you?...
Roughly the same decibel for me. For what it's worth I used headphones.
Yeah but there's no way in hell I waste any type of ammo on a bloater.
saved my life during
the tunnel section before the firefly hospital where I used it to kill both bloaters at once
A nail bomb and a couple of shells drops them, the

Yea this games environment, character art, concept, design, execution is all flawless. I hate to say it, but it is actually TOO GOOD at times. Coming from a person who is in school to become an environment artist, a lot of their shit just makes me weep. At times I was yelling at the screen, "RELAX NAUGHTY DOG! You don't need to put together EVERY single room with an insane amount of detail and unique assets/textures!" makes me just feel like shit.
Walked into some random room that I almost passed by but my gf said to go check it out and it was some boys room that was full detailed and realized with old comics stacked up and broken toys. Disgusting amounts of detail... I'll never work at ND
Also I love that they included the Pelican Pub/Inn from Uncharted 3! I was screaming in joy, because I modeled that entire bar for one of my classes. It was almost 100% exact in LoU as it was in U3. And it's funny because that was the first place Last of Us was shown, was in that Inn (on a newspaper). Loved it.

Pittsburgh and the Suburbs level are roughly 6 times the size of an Uncharted map. What exactly were you expecting?...
It's not Skyrim.
