If you grab people you can move them around before you kill them, not where you are, but normally.

This, and you can still stealth while enemies are alerted by a body. I they see you that's a different story.
Also that begging thing is cool. I'll do this a lot on my next run.
23:02 Hard mode, no listen mode. Scoured every corner of the maps for collectibles. Ended up with 140.

Thanks. I'll mix this up.with more bottle/brick methods.

that was a pretty hostile group for a bunch of food scouts led by a rational man! Clearly he's the Rick and they're the Shanes.

Also if you have a gun out and then melee, you hit the enemy with your gun. Usually knocks them down into that position as well

Beat the game. Not perfect, probably overhyped by the gaming press but fuck it was a fantastic ride. Games like these is the reason why I keep up with this damn hobby. Such a great time.
I'm gonna echo that. I was dreading "that moment" the entire game, was so relieved that it never came.

Was wondering about that because it hadn't happened and I'm past the part where ND demoed it. Going to try it out when I get back in the game. Loving it so far, though I keep wanting to jump and climb like Drake.

Lol, I did the same thing even though I tried to play through the rest of the game as stealthy as possible.

There are a lot of things we can't do.
Particularly, stealth kills from cover or around corners. Why can't we do that? You can do it in Uncharted 2 and 3, but it's not in this game? I don't get it.

So thinking about buying the season pass... What all comes with? Any info on the DLC? SP or Multi?

are we talking about some puzzling things now?
-You can get stuck just about anywhere. In a warehouse trying to get to a ladder I originally climbed a wall and walked sideways on it. I walked onto this patch of metal and in reality I could have reached the ladder but in the game I was locked on that item, could only walk in place and had to reload my game.
That has actually happened a few times, I get stuck on items and can't walk off or I do this falling in place animation and eventually die.
Others:
-ND feels the need to include another flight of stairs in every building only to barricade it with furniture
-There are about 3 human enemy character models throughout the game
-There are about 4 runner character models
-Can't move bodies

A molotov and a shotgun blast will do the trick... and the fire keeps them from rushing you, so you can get all up in their grill with the barrel of your pump and put them down.

Wow. What a fucking game.
I was playing last night from about 1AM, finished playing at around 6:30AM.. I had no idea what time it was until I paused the game and saw sunlight. I got completely lost in it.. It felt like only 2 hours. Haven't had that happen to me in years.
Almost through the Winter section. Its pretty much perfect to me, it will go down as one of my favorite games of all time.

Holy fuck, yes, me, too! Already played ~9hrs and currently just a few steps before the bridge. This game is damn addicting and just gorgeous in all possible terms. Hail to the ND!
Can't wait to continue this weekend and play the crap out of it!

I didn't know you could do this. I bought the pass after I was already 50% through the game, was wondering if there was a way to disable the single player bonuses for a completely fresh start. Don't know how you do it but i'm glad to know the option is there
Yeah apparently it's fully gone.

Just bought the season pass, I have already started my new game plus though. Do I need to do anything to avoid something being screwed up?
Man I literally never experienced this a single time. I don't get what the trigger could be that it would never have occurred.

Apparently you need to turn off the season pass bonus perks or they might mess with things carrying over in new game plus.

Huh? Never had that happen a single time?
Well I just had a specific example last night: (Hotel section spoiler)
When you first get outside in the big fight where Joel gives Ellie the rifle, I stealth killed everybody, and then three more guys spawn and just walk into the area from one of the rooms you've already cleared.
You don't actually see them spawn, but they just kind of appear when you take out the last guy. This was on Hard so I have no idea if that makes a difference.

Well that's what I mean, I already started the new game plus, everything carried over perfectly, I stopped playing, went onto PSN and bought the Season Pass. Do I still need to disable anything or since the NewGame+ file is already created should I be okay? And if so, where do you disable the perks?

I don't know if you guys noticed but I have now arrived at the
and I noticed a measuring ruler for the
and I noticed Joel is only 5"1 when you line up with it (and yes, I did measure from the bottom up). Either ND got their dimensions wrong or everybody somehow dropped their size since the outbreak. I wish I had a screenshot but you would know the moment you enter that specific level.

Tried the multiplayer for a few hours last night. Gotta say, the matchmaking system is a piece of shit. I regularly get paired up against teams of two or three Rank 20 players at a time.
Game's normally not bad, but the fun just EVAPORATES when every other player has super high-level skills and weapons and I'm stuck with the basic revolver.
Thanks, Naughty Dog.

I'm no expert, but if everything already carried over fine I would assume you are okay to continue.

Yeah, same thing happened in my game, and I think it happened in the bookstore too somehow. Cleared both floors, and then when I was going out the exit on the second floor some guy appeared out of nowhere and then somehow there were a bunch of guys all over the second floor that weren't there before
the option shows up at the bottom of the list under game options (the one with listen mode, tag popups etc.) so I assume it also shows up when you start a new game

Just got the measurement wrong. I was crouching next to a light socket and it was larger next to my head than it ought to have been.
Naughty Dog is freaking amazing, but they aren't perfect.
Still. One of if not my favorite game of all time. Still trying to process it all.

Basically there are less enemies in the area if you are never spotted, in some areas being spotted will pretty much double the amount of enemies around. If the last guy sees you before you kill him (i.e. you break stealth) then I would expect reinforcements to appear out of nowhere.
It's kind of a stupid thing this game does. One thing I've noticed is Joel will do a "high profile" assassination on the last guy in an area since there's nobody else around and the noise it makes shouldn't matter... however sometimes when Joel does this I have suddenly entered combat immediately after this happens and it's not my fault at all
Um, you can. How do you explain this working for me and so many other people if you in fact cannot do it?
I'm 53% through my SECOND play through of the game on Survivor difficulty and my save file is labeled as New Game Plus and all my stuff carried over from my first play through.

My guesses...
1. Judging by how the whole game is built, I suppose they wanted to make level design as 'realistic' as possible (you would expect a building with several stories to have elevators and/or flights of stairs), but they can't just make whole buildings open and accesible because TLOU is a linear game with a set path and they don't want players to get lost and, well... bigger levels, bigger expense of RAM. Same with doors that can't be opened.
2. RAM. There's a lot of models, textures, AI behavior and patterns, sounds and animations that have to be loaded in every area, so they have to conserve and optimize wherever they can.
3. RAM, again.
4. Gameplay design decision, maybe they figured letting us hide bodies made the game much easier?
Yeah, this is exactly what happened for me. Since he somehow knows that the guy he grabbed is the last guy he just decides to stomp his face in. But apparently that triggers the "whoops you caused noise" magic emergency guards.

What was weird about it was that the last guy really did appear out of nowhere, seemingly. I cleared the entire floor and walked all around it multiple times making sure I didn't miss anything, including walking all the way through the exit hallway where the elevators were at least twice. Then when I was finally about to leave, some guy spawns in that exit hallway and hits me with a pipe as soon as I walk around the corner. then there are guys all around the top floor, I died, and upon respawning I just walked out the exit and there was no one there at all.
