I do the same thing. I just clocked it at 2:40 minutes. But the percentage started at 80% instead of 0% today so it might've been longer last time. I don't remember UC2 and 3 being this extreme though? No loading screens in-game is good though for sure. I suppose the cutscenes hide them though (skippable?).

This is only on discs?
Cause I got the digital version and my load times are always less than 20-30 seconds

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Even on survivor...
if you make kills
it will give you ammo. I think they tuned this section differently to bail out players who have nothing to fight with. I got significant shotty drops by killing enemies. You just have to fight for your life, but you'll get drops.
If having simple wait here/follow me commands in the game fixed a lot of the ridiculous AI problems then I would take them in a heart beat.

Just played the part where
Joel gets impaled at the college and you have to get his bleeding out ass out of there! Holy shit that was intense! I'm at the follow-up part where you play as Ellie(wasn't expecting that) and it seems fairly obvious that Joel survived somehow, but then again......
I haven't come across a situation where I wasn't able to skip a cutscene. The textures may look like shit if you do though, at least from my experience, lol

That twat is playing TLoU? Eugh, I can only imagine him ruining the entire experience by filling his playthrough with racist comments and rape jokes. :/
He is biggest there is I think. Not like everyone has close to 10m subs.

There is indeed some pop in if you skip cutscenes.
It probably helps the game as much as it hurts it.
Supposedly, yes. I personally have never seen anything like it as far as I can remember. That wrestling game on PSP comes to mind but I haven't played it myself so.
Okay :lol I haven't tried for obvious reasons.

Mostly multiplayer fixes it would seem.

I remember being somewhat pissed when they changed Ellie from the first reveal. Looking back I think the younger Ellie looks a lot better. Good job ND.
I prefer the older Ellie design actually.
The lighting in that section floored me.
The lighting is definitely The Last of Us greatest graphical asset.

So after beating this I decided I wanted to go back and play through the Uncharted series again. Wow, Drake moves about 20x faster than Joel :lol. Wasn't used to that after playing TLOU for the last 4 days.
So this fucking sucks. Not just that I finished the game and can't enjoy any more and fresh experiences from this fantastic game, but this stupid fact:
I started playing on hard. I was set on playing hard. First proper encounter with infected + clicker, and I just kept dying over and over. We all died there. I was just wondering if the game would be just frustratingly hard, so I switched it over to normal to see if there was any difference in the game itself. I saw the amount of infected was the same, and the clicker still one-shot you, so I turned it back to hard.
I decided it'd probably probably rob me of the hard trophy, but I didn't give a shit, because I've made a choice not to ever care about another trophy.
But not only am I fucked out of playing through survivor, which I really wanted to do, I can't continue a new game on Hard+. That means if I play it again, I'll just have to go through the entire damn game just to get to Hard+. It's just such a fucking waste, fucking damnit shit nipples.

You unlock survivor by beating the game on any difficulty.
Try this? http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=66468166&postcount=14688
Might work for Hard also, not sure though.

This happens any time a new big release comes. It's just because there is a large ratio of people playing the same game and for long periods of time. This puts lots of stress on older systems that have a tendency to fail.
Ooooh! Thank you so much
I really, really appreciate the tip! I don't really care about collectables, trophies and such, but I do care to experience the game on a harder setting, to really try and survive the same way the characters had to through the game. On hard I really did end up having full supplies at most times.Yup. That, and the fact that people might not have used their PS3s for some time, and dust has collected. My old fat PS3 only froze once. And the strangest thing happeed when I restarted the console and loaded the save. It took like 5 seconds to load.
I'm stuck in Survivor mode.
Grrrr.
In the undergound tunnel. All I have left are three bloaters but they will not go down. At all. I've used everything I have several times over and they still won't drop. The last time I did this level I ran past them and boosted Ellie up but this time she says "There are too many of them."
Grrrr.

Yup, just hit that part as well. The section that lead to your question was so intense, holy shit.
Nevermind. I restarted it and took everything out with the quickness.
Same here, only i actually got to the last chapter and now it won't load and i can't beat it.

This has probably been posted already, but I found it incredibly amusing (with how the AI acts sometimes during stealth situations):

The truth of the matter is that AI pathing is a very taxing thing to do. Who knows with the power of the cloud (sorry, couldn't let that one slide). At any rate, it's still a very hard thing for a programmer to program believable AI hiding logic that can actually be detectable. You would most likely end up with dead- and livelocks, where you'd be unable to progress without alerting every monster in the area. It's pretty clear that it just had to be that way, and as soon as you accept it as a part of the game, the less it'll be a problem. Just the same with noise of strangling someone. I enjoy the fact that you can't alert someone by the one you're choking making too much sound. Maybe it would've worked, but so long that you just accept it more as "chocking takes time, and you only need to care not to be seen", then you accept the way it works.

Definitely think the harder difficulties should default to it being off.
Without it the game hit those emotional notes they were going for so much more often, in so many ways. It made the play with humans frantic, improvised, cautious and defensive. And it made times with the clickers scary and overwhelming.
Definitely this game could have done without the zombies. Everything I loved about it, did not involve them.
The human AI is just so special though.

and I thought Amirox went through the game slow, he's still in the first 1/3rd of the game

Yeah it's a pretty game.
Seriously there are some lovely bits like that, but the soft shadows/ambient occlusion like shadows are the thing that amaze me.
Seriously brilliant. Really highlights the aesthetic issues that SSAO has. Most notably it being a 'filter' of sorts only functioning on a 2D level with that ugly halo effect. This game just has the msot amazing lighting.

Finished Winter on Survivor: Fuuuuuuck.
Rarely does a game make me aware of my own heartbeat racing. Seriously fucked up and tense stuff... and I played through this before lol
Wanted to mention again that the lighting in this game is really something else. Playing it in black and white is a great way to experience it and to see how brilliant the lighting actually is.

The only thing which ruined this game is the horrible low buffer like every ND game, it's the tragedy of the ps3 hardware. Jaggies are really disgusting in different situations.
Still chugging along on my initial playthrough. I'm finally in
Winter and I just got done sneaking through the campground with Ellie only to get caught by that one creepy guy. Naughty Dog really captured the tense feelings of being a 14 year old girl having to outwit grown men and kill them. Then the part that capped it off for me was, "Ellie. Tell them Ellie is the name of the little girl who broke your fucking finger!" She has really grown on me and I'm fearing that my journey is reaching its climax.

Imagine the possibilities on next gen. There's literally nothing to stop ND from achieving graphical heaven.
