Gonna say no.

I thought it was too slow, and imprecise, which is why I didn't use it at all. There weren't really situations where I wouldn't have had ammo for the other weapons, or an opportunity to sneak past, or up close for the kill.
Flamethrower worked well against the swarms of infected, but I never did use it against
the Bloaters, as I thought it would be better to handle them from afar. Which is why I didn't got the trophy.
I think I'll try both, if I ever start a new game+.
I only used the rifle in some outdoor conflicts, and against
the Bloaters near the end, and when Ellie was fighting side by side with David, as my explosives and pistol bullets were gone at that point.
I just used shotgun and upgraded machete to clear the area, and it wasn't even that hard, but it sure was tense. =) It was the only situation, where
the Clickers didn't run straight towards me when I made noise. Some of them waited until I moved closer.

After playing the last of us I feel super excited about the potential for games. I have seen art bow in front of ND. Much respect.
Question fellow gaffers

Was I the only one that didn't kill the doctor right away? I struggled a lot, not because it was out of character for Joel, as he was a terminator or so I felt, I just didn't thought he deserved it, them the brakes on a ruthless world.

That sounds like it would make it a teenage love story, when the game as it is is about a father-daughter relationship. Don't really see how changing that would have been an improvement.

I hesitated, tried to find away around him, then ended up shooting him in the leg...which ended up killing him I guess
Lots of love for the bow in here, I think I fired it 3-5 times. I'll try upgrading it and using it a bunch more on this new play through.

Most of them are pre-recorded yes.Skins don't show up in all cutscenes.
Yeah I wanted to save ammo and health, so I was determined to clear that entire area only using stealth. I tried almost everything, but the bow was the only option that worked right away.

I played on normal, and the there weren't many times when I was low on ammo, or other supplies. I was actually a bit surprised by that.

Ruthless but hey them the brakes.
I tried to find a way around him with no luck, pointed my gun at him and he wouldn't yield, after walking around thinking what to do I think I hit triangle and it initiated a killing animation where you use the Scalpel to his neck
Hold your horses, I wanna see what the fuss is all about!
I smile just thinking about it. This fucking game man.

Yeah I played on hard and was pretty full on supplies as well. After I cleared that section the hard way I was almost empty though lol. No more bombs or molotovs and pretty low on ammo and health as well. I pretty much said fuck it and restarted the encounter over and over till I finally tried the bow and cleared the section immediately. What I didn't knew was that you get a shit ton of stuff just 10 minutes later when you loot all the houses. After I was done my inventory was pretty much maxed out and I couldn't craft anything nor pick up more items, because everything was full lol
Not talking about DLC Season pass.
and Survival Edition code is the same - Sound pack and Online Pass.
Check in your download list, it's probably there and download the 100kb online pass file.

That scene was creepy as shit. Especially as it went on and on.
I started to panic a bit when the rats came running down the hallway lol
Spend your pills on weapon sway, shiv master and maximum health. Don't bother with anything else, mostly useless.

Well, the upgraded machete helped a lot during that part.
I only used the shotgun for a couple of first ones. I was also maxed out on supplies for a good part of the game. I never used any of the smoke bombs either. I'll have to try them, if I ever replay the game.
EDIT:
Haha! I really can't sympathize with that feeling though.
The health upgrades are useful.
I didn't bother with crafting/healing speed until the others because I tended to do that outside of combat and therefore didn't need the extra speed.
No.
I'll say in the order of these:
Weapon Sway
Max Health
Faster Health / Crafting
Everything else.
Shiv Master is useless TBH. I never got to use it SP - not in survivor or +. Save your shivs for doors and supplies.
I think the voice works and I don't honestly relate. I think Ellie is cute but I can safely say that at no point was I experiencing.. what you experienced.

It definitely wasn't useless for me on normal difficulty. I still had plenty of shivs to open every door, although I missed one or two of them. In fact Shiv Master saves them for you, as they don't break on one stab. And the skill was very useful in those occasions when a Clicker grabs you, as it didn't result with a certain death anymore.

And you are actually just approaching the best part of the game. You are almost done with Summer now, some heavy stuff is coming your way I just experienced hours ago. I'm in the next section now and had to stop for today to let it sink in. Have fun

Just finished the game for the first time last night......so good.
As for that part towards the end I
I really, REALLY enjoyed the Uncharted series, but for me personally, Last of Us has been a game that has absolutely solidified my view of Naughty Dog as one of my top, if not THE top developer working at the moment. If somehow anyone from ND sees this, thank you for your hard work, and for providing me with this incredible experience.
As for that part towards the end I
hesitated for a second to shoot the doctors, but I quick flash in my mind put me completely into Joels shoes, and I blew that dude away, then actually shot the second guy against the wall before realizing that was probably unnecessary.

This game, man. This game. The feels it gives me.
That ending was absolutely perfect. And the section where Joel is carrying the unconscious Ellie. This soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuZl4AHk4BI added with Joel's "Come on baby girl, I gotcha" and "We're okay, we're okay, we're okay" and "I got you, I got you"... Naughty Dog, you collective brilliant bastards
Maybe on easy or normal - never tried those difficulty though.

It's always about Ellie, no one ever brings up Joel's redesign
I can't discern any difference.
Or is that the joke? lol

Umm, nope. It's pretty damn important for Ellie's character.
Twas' my favorite season.
You definitely do. Those comparions are hilarious. As if the slight change in her eyebrows was this big design change. You clearly love Ellie Page.

It's maybe just a tad more minor
GAH!
Just keep moving,
using David as bait so you can one shot the enemies from behind

The point is that you shouldn't be grabbed at all. If you play well enough that you're never in that situation, then the upgrade is useless.

Striving towards a perfect playthrough isn't really what I'd call enjoyable, so it's nice to have the Shiv Master upgrades as a backup option, instead of facing a certain death after every screw up.
There's been two patches so far with minimal single-player fixes.
I'm a little worried that ND may be blinded by the "10/10 masterpiece!" reviews and not acknowledge that there are several glitches in the single-player.
they can just make them siblings. Better if twins. Ultra-brutal stealth action survival game with kids as main characters? It would be in history books.
I think this is cool, actually, but it wouldn't be the same game. it would involve changing what the game is about, and I like the game very much as it stands. maybe for another game.
The sequel.. Ellie and her long lost brother, killing fuckers. Story and feels ensue.

haha well to each his own. I think we both agree that someone who gets grabbed often enough should buy the upgrade. Someone who never does doesn't need it and would be wasting his upgrade supplies by buying it. Sneaking around is the best part of the game to me.
