My copy shipped and will be here tomorrow...but the PS3 I ordered might not be! That'd be torture.
Correct. I'm not even reading anything, I even tabbed out of the trailer Sony showed at their conference.

It wasn't even in my mind while I was playing it. It's one of those weird things that after I experienced it, I remembered the slew of posts about it and it became worse.

LOL same with me. As soon as it started I muted it and closed the tab like a mad man. I'm not gonna give in this close.

So what would be the best game to play to get ready for TLOU? I Am Alive? Enslaved?

It's funny you bring this up. I actually plan on playing and streaming I am Alive in a few hours. I was also, no joke, unsure whether I'd play Enslaved or I am Alive. But, since I've yet to actually beat IAA, I decided to go with that.
I am Alive is a good choice. It's only about 5 hours long, so you should get it done before Friday.
both games are great despite some poor reviews but for the mood of the the last of us i think i am alive fits more the profile

I just realized I have the Survivor Edition paid off at Gamestop and preordered on Amazon.

You could probably sell the second copy for a small profit since that edition seams to be sold out

I'd love to hear Naughty Dog's thoughts on the PS4 or an interview with them at the E3. Anyone have any links?
I have to. He started it in the Tomb Raider thread and I can't shake it.
Where you been Ham? Drinkin that gumbo down by the bayou?
Nah the intro is great. Some might not like it, but that's opinions for you. You can't please everyone ya know.

Ugh speaking of spoilers, I actually was spoiled on the game thru Gametrailers' chat section of all places. Just glanced over briefly while this Borderlands demo was being shown and a couple asshats were spamming the ending in the feed. So be careful guys

Thank God Twitch allows you to hide the chats, so I was able to watch the E3 conferences live. I've been avoiding comment sections and other forumsUgh speaking of spoilers, I actually was spoiled on the game thru Gametrailers' chat section of all places.

NeoGaf seems safe and strictly moderated. And N4G is good for gaming news and reviews, just avoid the comments.
Yup, I had GameTrailers on the GDex the entire time instead of the chat for precisely this reason.Ugh speaking of spoilers, I actually was spoiled on the game thru Gametrailers' chat section of all places.

Not because I gave a shit about the GDex.

So I know some people were talking about it a few pages back but is this as scary as Dead Space? I get freaked out easy over games and couldn't get more then 30 minutes into that game. Is it as bad as that or just tense?
from what users are saying it's primarily more tense. Though there are "Scary" moments, but it's not the primary focus of the game. Tension is.

LMAO I did the same shit. I am being extra cautious. Just over 24 hours to go....
The chat was awful. Everyone just posted swastikas.
One guy even said that you shouldn't buy the PS4 because of Pearl Harbor.
Oh boy, he sure convinced me!

I hate jump scares. Dead Space has nice atmosphere but every scare was either telegraphed or a jump scare.
Few games can actually create an atmsphere of tension. Manhunt did it (Pigsy!). Silent Hill did it well by obscuring your vision. So i TLOU is all about tension and unsettling atmosphere rather than jump scares, I'm even more hyped
So is there going to be a countdown on the thread tomorrow?
Kevin Shields

Yea I'm with you. I can deal with demon/dark souls tension where atmosphere just creeps you out with freaky monsters but its not really scary or at least "makes you jump" scary. Hopefully this is case with LOU. Still debating on getting it but slowly leaning toward quick redbox rental to make sure and then a purchase. I'm a huge uncharted fan but thought this wouldn't be my cup of tea... We'll see...
So for those fortunate enough to have beaten the game already, how is Survivor mode?
From what I understand, higher difficulties increase damage received as well decrease the amount of salvageable items. I really hope survivor makes crafting decisions more important as a few normal difficulty vids I watched show supplies to be plentiful.
If TLOU has a section even approaching the atmosphere and disgusting creepiness of the Tower of Latria, then it's GOTY.

It will be. They usually just update the actual shipping information late. I think it's more to err on the side of not lying to the customer. Amazon has always delivered to me whenever they said they would.
Same. I will be here and in the spoiler thread Friday.

Ha yea that place is close to unbearable for me in sheer uneasiness but I would take it any day over games like Dead Space that have me jumping out of my seat and cursing...
You change the difficulty whenever you want. You dont' have to restart a new playthrough.
Same goes for listen mode, turn dat joint off whenever you feel like it.
