the fuck are you talking about?
I'm just asking how does wrapping scissors on a bladed weapon's hilt make it last longer? Is this just a gameplay thing or some actual military boyscout technique?

You can cheese it more by already having the card before you turn on the generator.

I did that but if you die it removes it for some reason. I went straight for the door before realizing it was gone.

just beat it, took me 18 hours and 18 minutes an like 6 seconds, only if it was 18 seconds ha. Yet I apparently missed a bunch of collectibles anyway. Really glad their is a new game+ will make the harder modes easier and much more enjoyable since you have your whole arsenal from the beginning.

This is probably the fifth spoiler you've posted in as many pages. And this is a big one. It's incredibly inconsiderate.
In what way?

Things really pick up in Winter.
I was wondering when Cannibalism would rear its head. Why you gotta eat people like that Nolan North? Also Joel is a bad mother fucker.

My brother borrowed this and it's pretty great. Maybe Naughty God should make a stealth game.
Is this Savage Starlight a real comic? I notice it has dark horse on the back.
One thing I hate. When things just come out of nowhere.

I searched that whole place under the hotel and then I find a card and things start pouring out of nowhere. It was the same when my curiosity started the generator.

So reached Spring. About how many approx hours do I have left? It's 11:30pm and was wondering if I can go through the ending tonight or do it tomorrow.

Mentioned this earlier but got no responses: Started a New Game+ and it doesn't list any of the artifacts that I found in my initial playthrough. My first save file shows 105 collectibles found but my NG+ file only shows like 33. Lists the skill books but no Pendants or Notes. My upgrades carried over but nothing to help me find what artifacts I do or do not have. Is this a glitch or do I really have no way of knowing what artifacts I need to find (other than the numbers shown on Chapter Select)?

Finish tonight!
If you dont feel tired, finish it tonight.
I did Winter to Spring to Ending in two sittings today.
If you're playing on Hard, go to bed
lol im at the same point.
Have there been any reported issues with video and audio stuttering during cutscenes in Last of Us? I have been playing through the UC series lately and there have been a lot of issues with cutscenes from audio out of sync, stuttering, freezing etc. The reason I ask here is because I have an unopened copy of Last of Us ready to play, but dont want to open it, if Im going to have problems.
The UC disc are flawless with no scratches, I tried cleaning up the file system to make sure I had no corrupted files and also cleaned the OS. Nothing seem to work. The only other game I have an issue with is the Walking Dead by Telltale. That game is a mess of stuttering and video problems. The rest of my PS3 games dont have any problems except the UC series and Walking Dead. Any ideas how to fix the issues or if my PS3 is on its way out?
Edit: Thinking about it now, Borderlands 2 also has a video problem with cutscenes.

I keep glimpsing stuff about the seasons in this thread and getting confused.
I'm just after the point these guys above me reached. It seems like the whole journey so far has had an autumnal setting, but I might be being really dense...
Does it clearly change seasons to point out big milestones, or is this just how people refer to 'chunks' of the game?
Yup.
Get the keycard and dispatch the 4 stalkers first. Then turn on the generator and run like a sprinter. Post getting out of that Hell hole on Survivor, I realized how hard my heart was beating even though I didn't feel it while I was on adrenalin avoiding every freaks down there. And oh, on my 1st playthrough on Normal, the fucking bloater was right behind me after I turned on the generator so I had a shock, Jurassic Park style.
Game unfolds through seasons and informs you of every transition.
I would say just finish all of Spring tomorrow with a good night's rest and prepare yourself for the experience of finishing this game.

Just finished TLoU for the first time as well tonight. 27 hours 18 minutes. Played Hard, with no listening mode (so glad I did, it was sooo intense and worth it!. Damn, this a masterpiece of an experience. I've got the exact same feelings as the quote above. I'd go so far as saying it could be the best game I've ever (EVER) played as a complete experience. By far the Game of the Generation for me (and I know, I know, GoTG gets thrown around every week here on GAF). The only other game that evoked so emotion, or had me this invested in the presentation, storytelling, ending, ect... Would be Metal Gear Solid 3. I thought that was the best game + experience + emotional ending I'd ever see.... I'm glad that I've been proven wrong! ND has my utter respect and gratitude for creating this game! Wow!!...

I'm wondering how the hell they can ever make another Uncharted game after this. It makes Uncharted look like it was made by amateurs.

I havent finished it yet but I am curious how they do a sequel.
The Last of Us: 2 sounds a little silly.
The Rest of Us.
I just got done with the game. One of the best game I've ever played. Really flipping amazing stuff.
During the last "battle" I had to switch the difficulty to Easy, when I did the entire game on Hard, because I just couldnt do it. I spent 20 minutes in one run taking my time and getting every enemy, and I shit you not, I got to the last enemy in the room, and shot at him, and I thought he was dead, I run out, and nope. He shoots me and I get sent back 20 minutes. So I flipped the difficulties and blasted through it. Im disappointed in myself, but oh well.

So what are folks thinking the DLC will be? I personally hope it's some kind of horde mode.
Something like VR missions in MGS where you go through encounter after encounter would be nice.
They've confirmed there will be some single-player story content. But perhaps speculation regarding this would be better suited for the spoiler thread!

Am I the only one who wasn't that affected (or at all) when Tess

Still playing my way through on hard, liking the game a lot. Ellie's amusing.
Right now I'm working my way through some
Some general thoughts based on the game so far (which for me is a little more than half, if the % on the save file is any indication): I think "hard" IS the appropriate difficulty setting. I've only played on hard, and it's really not that hard. It's a moderate challenge. And for a while now I've been maxed out on everything I can craft and every ingredient, except for blade, which I never seem to find enough of. I conserve, I save, I don't use these various implements of destruction I have unless I NEED to, and so far I really don't NEED to. I don't sneak by everything, either, I generally take everyone out.
In short? "Hard" is a moderate challenge, it's fun but not frustrating. I know for absolute certain this game would not be as fun for me if it were any easier.
A little while ago when I was trying to get away from that gun truck, in the alley behind it, a dude came -- I was getting ready to sneak up on him and ellie jumped on his back and shived him. I reacted audibly to that, here alone in my room in the middle of the night.
Right now I'm working my way through some
sewers with the dude and his little brother.

You won't find survivor to be too much harder either then. I know when I did my first playthrough I thought hard was a decent challenge, but after a couple of weeks of multiplayer I think Survivor difficulty is actually easier than putting it on hard lol
No.
She was a pretty unlikable character and I hope her death is not part of the great story telling people talk about after they have finished the game

Aright guys. I woke up this morning with a goal.
I am going to platinum this game. I only need to collect the rest of the collectabls, shiv doors, listen to conversations, listen to
, upgrade all weapons, upgrade a single supplement, and do the mp stuff. The multiplayer trophies don't look too bad to complete. I already beat the game on survivor+ so I am going to go through on easy just to see what it is like and just how much it differs from hard and survivor.
Wish me luck.
Not at all. No spoilers beyond your post's:

I viewed it honorably, I didn't feel sad. She died to that we could have a moment to escape, and she was a goner once she was bitten anyway.

You'll know. There will be a splash screen with the season on it.
Quoted for new page
I think it has to do
with us not getting to know the character for more than, what was it 30 minutes? didn't have any attachment to her.
Btw, not sure if it's been brought up but the Soundtrack is available on Spotify for those interested.
Good luck
I'm about 44% in,
So far I'm not really sure if I'm playing it right. I'm playing on Hard with Listen Mode off. Maybe that's it, but I've heard that Hard+No Listen is the way to play this game and I gotta agree, the game is really intense. I'm on the edge of my seat everytime and when I get out of a clicker-infested building I need a few secs to relax and process everything that just happened. It's so good.
But there have been situations where I got stuck for more than an hour, and these parts are incredibly frustrating. Worst was the part where
. I was stuck there for more than an hour... And there's only so many ways you can go about in that room. I tried to do stealth because I was running really low on supplies and I just can't handle 3 clickers and 5 runners coming at me at full force (I tried, multiple times). Eventually I got lucky and 2 clickers both dropped nail bombs and I boobytrapped the room and was able to get through the
. Also sneaked past the other three runners up ahead by causing a distraction somewhere else, making them shuffle past me and allowing me to go right to the door. ...At which point,
This part nearly killed all my enjoyment of the game, but luckily I was able to get it done and move on. Parts after that were great. Still got a little stuck
but it was far less frustrating.
I hope I won't run into the same situation again. I feel like I'm still trying to get used to the game mechanics, or I am just too panicky. Like when I'm trapped between two clickers and I have no idea what to do. I try to throw a bottle far away in hopes they go the other direction, but instead they rush at me instead of the bottle... Like they heard that I was throwing it. Stuff like this is great - because it's realistic - but also very frustrating at times...
Do you guys think that setting the difficulty lower would fix some of my problems with the game? I'd rather go along with Hard because I don't want to pussy out, but I don't want to kill my enjoyment of the game either. I don't know what's up ahead. Is it gonna get worse? (And yeah I heard some stuff about the part I'm heading into now... Oh god wish me luck)
I just reached the part at the hotel where you fall down the elevator into the water, leaving Ellie behind.

Bill says we need to wipe all the infected out first. God I was pissed. All that trouble to go through that section with stealth and the runners were really far away. Why did I have to go back and finish them off?!

I wasn't a believer in "no listen" until I played survivor (it is forced off on that mode). I have seen the light my brothers.
Haha, same with me. Kept seeing all these "OMG Fall" posts and was wondering if I was missing anything. Surprised to learn that basically half the game is summer. Very anxious to see what all the fuss is about in the second half...
I have no problem playing the game with no listen mode. But I know I should just turn off the music, because then I could use my headphones to figure out where stuff is anyway. So that means I'd have to turn on and off music for every encounter. Obviously, that's not really what I want. If there was an easy way to only turn off encounter music, I'd be in business. But it's important for me to hear where people are, and the music can get in the way of that.
