Yeah, I loved how she commented on each one too.
Think I'll start on a Survivor play through without using guns throughout. Considering I don't live in the US if/when a zombie/fungus outbreak ensues I'm not going to have access to a gun.

Omg... those are what I missed!? I've been going crazy wondering
what I could have possibly missed after three Sherlock Holmes playthroughs. I'm a guy who found all the secrets in every Tomb Raider, my game sleuthing skills are impressive, and yet I was defeated by Naughty Dog and a backpack. Damn.

Thanks. Some of those are pretty amusing.
I'm surprised, that by inspecting the contents, you get to know she's carrying Joel's pic before she actually gives it to him. I think it was perhaps more effective when the pic was given to Joel, if you didn't know she had it beforehand.
Thanks for the tip.
You're the reason listen mode is in the game. You should use that if you're unable or too impatient to creep and use the third person cam to your advantage.

I just
, how much more do I have to go?
started playing as Joel again post-impalement in winter
Beat the game last night. I was honestly, ready for it to be over. It was fun and engaging but kind of felt too long. I ended up playing the last few sections very stealthily, and found it to be a little more fun.
I thought the ending kind of sucked. I really wish the made an entire level out of the last sequence, it was easily the best looking in the entire game.
I was thinking about a follow up and here's how I think it'd be cool to go down:
Anyways, it was a good game, but some sections dragged on too much and I would have liked to see more puzzles and more bomb-like weapons. Graphics were a mixed bag. Best lighting of any console game and some levels looked like the pinicale of console graphics some not so much (but still above average).

Obviously, Ellie knows that Joel lied at the end, but that didn't phase her. Anyways the game takes place 15-20 years in the future, and there are civilized towns (kind of like New Vegas in Fallout) but still zombies every where. You just control Ellie and you set out to find a cure. Stopping in the towns and shops to fill in back stories, maybe even take side quests. the game could kind of go from open world to open world, with linier paths between towns. Kind of like Rage's system. I think it'd be cool to have a butt kicking adult Ellie, and she can meet people and have straggler ons along the way. Make Joel sick or dying across the country, so there's even more reason to continue on.

2-3 hours or so.
I bought it last week and finished it yesterday morning. Ended up with about 16 hours played. Was an absolute blast to play, and knew I was in for a crazy ride
when Joel's daughter gets killed
and it was was so crazy when they did the twist with David. At first I thought alright he's going to be a "bad guy" but then between Ellie and his dialogue and then the section against the infected maybe he is one of the good guys trying to survive.
Also agree with a lot of people that this game should stand alone and not get a sequel or DLC that involve the characters in this game.

Man, I was really starting to dig this game, but now
I was planning on finishing this right now, but I just yelled out "man fuck this" and turned the damn thing off.
I'm in winter, when you get control of Ellie after she tells David she's infected and you have to run around in the snow storm and you can't see anything. I feel like this game is just shoot out after shootout at this point, and now I'm frustrated, don't know where to go, and keep getting killed.

That was definitely the lowest point of the game for me as well.

For starters anyway.
12GB Version or TLoU Bundle?

Hopefully the last 2-3 hours will help me make up my mind as to how I feel about this game. I have to admit, right now, I'm not completely sure despite how many facets of the game are truly impressive.
I'm not saying you guys are dumb but...
The 500GB is worth it if you're getting Playstation Plus, which is definitely recommended.

Yeah I guess I just expected too much out of this game. Like most really well reviewed and word of mouth hyped games this gen, the core of the game is just a bunch of boring cover shooting where you kill a billion guys
ok not a billion, but according to my stats I have 463 kills, and Im sure only 100 at most were infected

Well, I guess you could play it like a cover shooter. Sounds kinda boring though.
And the kill count, btw, includes all your deaths/retrys. So your number isn't anywhere close to accurate. Just saying.
Just finished my first playthrough on Hard. I sure am glad I did complete media blackout on this one - left the game full of surprises except for
.
Did anyone buy the season pass just to get access to the making-of documentary? I've got 15€ in my PS wallet (which I could use towards a game, say Peace Walker for example). I really liked the behind the scenes footage once you completed God of War III (really extensive look of the game development process over the course of two or three years), and singleplayer DLC is just an added bonus for me.
I haven't checked out the multiplayer yet, but I'll be sure to give that a whirl soonish.
EDIT: Trivia - 16 hours 38 minutes on my first playthrough on Hard. I did stroll around a lot, just soaking in the atmosphere but I think I still missed quite a lot of the context sensitive dialogue and collectibles.
Joel having a family, and his daughter dying in the prologue, which was spoiled for me just as the game had come out
I found the ending surprising, but fitting. I don't think it could've ended better.

Kind of. I did also figure I was going to want to buy the single player DLC, so mentally, I split the cost between the two.
I haven't exactly gone through the whole thread looking for opinions on the documentary, but I'll ask you: How was it? 90 minutes, right?
Right about 90 minutes, yeah. I thought it was great. They talked to people involved in pretty much every aspect of the game: designers, programmers, animators, voice actors, music...
Sounds good. I think I'll check out the multiplayer - if that turns out to be awesome, I won't have a reason not to buy it.
There's hints eventually. It's not very hard

It was alright. I have the slightest buyer's remorse. There were a few interesting segments, but for the most part it seemed really light on any kind of detail. They recycled a lot of the PR stuff we've already heard for most of the introduction. Some of the more interesting segments were already released previously, so you watch those again. The actors get a segment, which was neat, but would honesty like to have heard more from them.
I think you get an appreciation of Neil as a new director... and how he was well received and successful in that role. Bruce didn't get much attention as game director, and they didn't spend hardly any time on the game's mechanics.
It was, with a few exceptions, pure fluff imo.
My memory is much kinder to the Uncharted BTS documentaries. Maybe they were pure fluff too, maybe even moreso, but in my mind I have higher opinion of them than this Grounded thing. And of course, they were free on the fucking disc, that might help. lol
Yea that as pretty bad for me too. I had to retrain myself to remember that a stop light and traffic means to Stop and not to drive on the sidewalk to avoid it
Pfft, I'm learning how to play "The Choice".

No no no, please don't play it on Easy. Completely ruins the AI for this game.
At the very least play it on normal. I'd even recommend Hard for the first playthrough.
Normal is basically Easy and Easy is basically too easy. Trust us
I agree. Except for some specific parts, the game was quite easy on normal. I think once you get the game mechanics down, difficulty won't be an issue

You can start that epilogue chapter and do it, I think
Pah, I want to play through the entire game!

Playing MP for a few days and its ok. I ether have good matches or really horrible matches. I should probably use my mic but I dont want to talk to randoms.
I think I will finally do a second playthrough on singleplayer. For pure trophy whore reasons what is the best strategy for the new playthroughs?
Survivor + glitch or should I do the difficulty I first played and get all the weapon upgrades / supplements / collectables?
Will my weapon and supplement upgrades carry over if I use the Survivor + glitch?

Yay, I think normal is the right way to go for the first time, it'll avoid some of the frustrations at the end of the game that you may reach on Hard.
The second time through though... Survivor mode or bust.
The amount of people that are failing to realize how many combat sections of the game they can bypass with stealth or a simple bottle is quite astonishing.
There are a bunch that you can't skip with stealth, but some that have been pointed out in this page
are completely optional.

the resort section in Winter
party up boi
For real it's fun running in packs, you can still have fun with randoms tho but running with a group is fun as hell especially with mics. Join the gaf group

The biggest tell for me that I could have stealthed a segment is when you exit the area/room and Joel locks or blocks following or entry through that door again.
"That won't be necessary, Joel.......... they're all dead."
