New IP's are a huge financial risk. I am not sure we are going to see another IP so easily.
But then again, the last thing you want to do is force ND to do something they dont want.

I'm having a lot of problems. Final quarter of the game.
I'm Elle just after she falls on a walkway down to the ground, in an abandoned mill. There are a bunch of clickers and I swear to god they can see me or something because even though I'm sneaking very slowly they keep running at me and getting me. I've never had this issue with Joel. It's really really frustrating.
Did I miss something? Are these the same clickers I've seen before because they're not acting like it.

Yeah, the whole ally actually bumping into and shoving clickers really just makes me laugh and sad at same time.
How close are you to them? If you touch them are very close to them, that counts as them detecting them.
I think your best shot is to
simply brick their face and stab them while they're stumbling.
It should work if you get them one at a time, getting them to separate from each other.
You have infinite shivs with Ellie, take advantage of that.

If you sneak up and kill the clicker stealthy make sure the other ones are not in sight because the noice of it is too loud. Do it around a corner or with a wall in between, or run away instantly behind a corner and stand still so they can't localize you
Ok, thanks for the feedback. My decision may hinge on the answer to this though: if I start a Survival game, and I don't like playing it, can I quit and start a Hard New Game +, or will that wipe out my progress? May seem like an obvious answer, but after Bioshock Infinite's betrayalton I can not be too careful.
I didn't kill any of the clickers here, just so you know you have some options. Er... I may have killed the first one you see with an arrow, I don't remember.
Anyway, you maybe are pressing all the way forward with the analogue stick while crouching? They can hear that pretty well. You need to have a very feathery touch while crouching in this area (probably due to the echoey surroundings?). Also, distract them with bricks or bottles, and make them move away from you.
Luckily for you, this part, which frustrated me as well, is actually really short. Once you get a plan of attack you want to use, you'll be able to get out of there in under a minute.
Just don't override your previous game save, and you will be fine. Anytime you wish to do a NG+ off a previous save, load the old one up and then hit new game plus.
btw: NG+ can only be used on the difficulty it was beaten on or lower. so if you beat it on Hard originally, you can't do Survival. Same goes for Normal/Easy, can't go above.
And yeah, Survival is challenging, but not real difficult. Basically means you spend most of the time stealthing instead of using your guns.

Thanks guys finally got through that section. Yikes this game got real hard all of a sudden.
Does anyone know if they plan on releasing a vol. 2 ost for the game? I bought the ost and have been listening to it periodically over the last week, and I am noticing that the ost seems to be missing some of the really great ambient "sneaking" music. It's really a shame as some of those are the best tracks in the game =\

Going from loving the game to hating it all in the final act. It's like they just decided to make everything 10x harder and throw in 10x more enemies in every single encounter. Very frustrating, not much fun and I'm starting to care less and less about the story as I replay the same sequences over and over.
Really? No point in the game was really that much harder than the rest imo. A couple of places where there were bloaters etc I managed to deal with pretty swiftly using saved up molotovs and nail bombs.

It's bloody amazing how Naughty Dog made this game so damn long and so damn good in this time and age where 8 hour games are pretty much the norm.
This game is refreshing on so many fronts.

Being hold up with
was a ridiculous fight yep. But besides that, yeah I had no real difficulty spikes.

Switch to easy?
stealth is your friend[
Most of the part he's on you can't stealth. I similarly thought it was a crazy difficulty hike out of nowhere.
Also praise the lawd, we have a spoiler button.
Finally really getting into the game.
Initially felt a tinge of disappointment as the early level design felt like Uncharted in the sense that you go through a linear path and finally get past an obstacle with no way of backtracking.
After finishing the
, I feel while the kind of design I mentioned is still the same, the fact that the levels opened up considerably which really shows off the AI in combat as well as offering you a multitude of strategies finally gave me what I hoped for in this.
And I hear it just gets better from there which is mind blowing.

I thought so too until I saw 2 different videos where a guy literally stealth ed and run through that level within 2 mins. I shit you not. It actually got me angry because I was so bent on taking out each person 1 by 1

Wow.
Human enemies are definitely making me rethink combat compared to how I usually fought them in Uncharted. Quite refreshing to be honest.
The whole Massachusetts State House part. RIP Tess. Afterwards, when Ellie goes walking through the woods and makes those comments about it, it was my first real feeling of how she had never been truly outdoors before and was a person born after The Fall and kept walled in for all 14 years of her life.

Joel can probably leave, his character arc are finished, he found his redemption/goal/humanity back with Ellie and he can be the same person till he dies of natural causes or maybe killed saving Ellie or something.
Ellie however is still young and have lots of story potential left to tell. I dont want ND to start from zero and make completely separate story again for LoU2. Ellie is too good of a character to be dumped like that after just 1 game. I imagine LoU series to basically be her story. I want older Ellie to be the main character in the sequel.

Okay, so I accidentally started the game on Normal. After about 20 minutes, I realized my mistake and switched to Hard, and completed the game on Hard, but I only received credit for completing the game on Normal. In order to get my trophy and New Game+ on Hard, do I have to beat the whole thing over again?
God, I'm an idiot.

Wow. I guess it was my own fucking fault for thinking I could check in on the non-spoiler thread to see what's up and assuming this was not gamefaqs forum. Won't happen again.
I have to admit that this is the first time I've been upset with reviewers. Playing the game I feel like there are so many amazing qualities that are undeniable. The fact that someone gave it a 60% and another a 75% seems unfathomable to me. Truthfully, it's incredibly irresponsible of them in my opinion.
This game is straight up RAW.

Halfway through my survival run. Shit is tense as fuck. The game is super stingy with materials as well - one shiv door had like two revolver bullets and 5 supplements lol. Combat isn't necessarily tougher though, since I now know all the combat quirks and use them to my advantage. Platinum ahoy!
Also, I really hate the High School sneaking part.

Yeah, just look at UC3. They flooded MP with DLC's. It's fucking crazy.
I just got the game today and I've been playing for a bit. This game is so intense that I think it could cause a heart attack. I decided to take a break for a few hours. I would say that I'm Sh**ing bricks but I've run out of bricks. I'm just drained. Good game and good story so far.

Just beat the game.
I loved it but the last bits were the worst, IMO.

People need to remember that stealth in this game doesn't work like in Metal Gear. Just because you are spotted doesn't mean that they will all hone in to you throughout the level, just get out of the area where you are in, and out of their line of vision.

I wonder how amazing a Dino Crisis/Dead Space like game from ND would be?

If it's like the Uncharted games then you can probably just replay the first chapter on hard (or how much your first 20 minutes was) and it should net you the hard trophy.

Fall and winter were really good chapters.

Seriously.
While I was playing through this game, my brother refused to let me go on if he wasn't there. He usually doesn't care when I'm playing through a game's story mode, but with this game, we were both completely attached to it.
