The Last of Us |OT| It Cant Be For Nothing (Spoilers)
- Thread starter Pranay
- Start date
Console holder bought the studio and gave the money for game's production. They have all the right in the world to keep this game exclusive. If this game is not a system seller, nothing is.
I may have to jump in for a survival mode run, not sure how I feel about the survival+ trick, but I feel more compelled to have another go at the game than I usually do for this kind of experience.
This entire game.... used less than 256MB of video ram. Naughty Dog texture work on PS4 is gonna be legendary.
They used only 5MB of main RAM for animations... Everyone's animation! Joel [traversal, all ranged weapons, all melee weapons, all procedural close combat stuff] + Ellie + all enemies!!!!!!

My copy of The Art of The Last of Us finally shipped today. It will be nice to add that to the collection.

I'm in the underground water area of the hotel. Am I stupid or do they not make it clear what you have to do here?

I now have this problem with an episode of Adventure Time
And is BotI worth reading all of? I read one of the books years ago and thought it was cool.
Just keep checking around everywhere. You don't have to do anything special.
I won't say you're stupid, but it's pretty clear.
A spoiler thread is for spoiler-tag free discussion. This is for all discussion of the game, but it must be behind spoiler tags. That's the distinction, not the ability to discuss highly sensitive portions of the game at all
That said, people reaaaally need to learn how to tag spoilers.
And also: POSTING images of areas in a game are spoilers! And since you can't hide them behind a spoiler tag, they're just the worst! Image links only are the way to go imo.
Edit: But I guess Dresden has a different opinion so I guess follow that. But for the record, that was always how it was before. Spoiler tags was the distinction.

All I see is a big gate. I walked around for 10 minutes last night and couldn't figure out how to get passed. There is nowhere to dive under it.

there is nothing that you can do to mentally prepare yourself for what is in store for you

Pick a direction, go as far as you can until you end up reaching a dead-end or you progress.
sure there is.
by not going into a game thinking there is nothing you can do to mentally prepare yourself for the experience.
it's a game, not the cure for cancer
Great return to form for Naughty Dog after Uncharted 3. Superb! This is my second favourite game of the gen and I'd post more detailed thoughts if I wasn't being bugged to go play fifa.
Having finished it I hope, if there's a sequel, there's MUCH less focus on the infected. The vast majority of the combat scenarios with them in it were the weak-points of the game imo. However they did also lend to some of the most memorable and tense scenarios so there's a middle ground to be found.

The post that started this discussion wasn't tagged for a while... it was properly tagged later.
It was for a while just a random, non-tagged comment on the game's ending.
sure there is.

We are gaming enthusiasts, some of us actually enjoy games and even get excited about them sometimes, crazy I know.
yeah I know, that's why I said people need to learn how to use spoiler tags. Hopefully with the spoiler tag button people start to gradually get better at it.
Also: Preview Post is the spoiler tag friend of choice!

I get excited about games all the time. The distinction between getting excited and trying to suggest that there's no way to mentally prepare for an experience is so massive as to be pointless to even compare the two. That will actually lead to people coming back saying "you guys really oversold that."
Nothing can live up to such ridiculous terms, besides such terms being impossible.

Well, anyone who takes that comment literally is dumb as a brick.
People in this topic have already SERIOUSLY suggested they thought it was impossible that people can claim the game is anything other than incredible (sorry hawkian), so trying to figure out when someone is serious about their hyperbole or not is not this simple trick you think.
you guys way oversold me on WINTER, for example, and although I was able to parse those feelings out, there's no doubt I went into that season with different expectations than I otherwise should have.
The back half of Summer is easily my favorite part of the game. Winter is special, though, there's no question.
Yeah, I enjoyed the back half of summer a lot. That was when the game felt its most elegantly paced.
The longer OTs stay around, the less guarded people become when talking about things, mainly because many people are progressing in the game around the same time window.
I remember early on, people even spoilered the fact that the game was sectioned by seasons, among a bunch of other details that are okay to mention freely now.
Kinda glad I never stopped by the OT to read what people were saying while I was playing, just popped in every now and then to say what was on my mind at the moment. Everything aside from the demo and gameplay shown beforehand were all brand new to me and going into them fresh without expectations was pretty damn cool. I also want to add that I'm terrible at resisting clicking on spoiler tags, so I made extra sure for this game *_*
I didn't know there were seasons either until this topic lol
I tried to avoid as much as I could, but it was hard to avoid some things as I was gushing over the artistic direction in this game. Man, the art.

I don't know what my favorite season is. Each season has memorable things going on. The more I think about the characters, the set pieces and the encounters, the more I'm falling in love with the game.
I'm currently on my new game+ and I'm still discovering new things. The presentation and attention to detail in this game is just incredible.

I thought the hunter there was a black subzero...
As much as I like this game, having waves after waves of enemy thrown at me is not that fun
it's so tiring, i need to take a break from it
which part are you at? Most of the encounters you can skip past if they're irritating you

MP is crazy fun. I just got to winter because I've been playing so much MP. Already have like 20 hours in it.
Thats the easiest part to avoid enemies
with all the snow they can barely see you, just be careful and you wont even need to fight most of them. The only part you really need to kill them is inside that store, but apart from that its pretty easy.
I just turned off the PS3 cuz I am mentally tired from the previous part XD
