Awww yiss. Downloading now.
How long left for you, Andrew?
Picking it up tomorrow on my break during work (Survival Ed). Already cleaned my place up and got everything all ready to go. It's the first time in awhile that I havent taken the day off for a major release.
Work tomorrow is going to suck the big one.
It specifically asks for a key. It's in the area where I'm with Tess fighting the thugs for the 2nd go around. I stealth around and try to take them out without being noticed.
I looked near everything that died in the area and found nothing, but no I haven't gotten quite that far yet. Let me go make sure I double check what you suggested. One guy did die in the wall... I wonder if I could have glitched it.

Okay, so I know it's a long shot, but can anyone give me some impressions of how the multiplayer is? Is it better than it looks? Worse than it looks? Do you think it could keep someone like me interested for the rest of the summer? I really liked MGO, the multiplayer for Ghost Recon Future Soldier, the multiplayer for Mass Effect, but I found the multiplayer for Uncharted 3 a little too hectic and spastic. I only played it recently, so all of the players on it were really really good.
How does it compare to the multiplayer on Tomb Raider? I hated that multiplayer.
I hope someone can help me out lol

Ugh, can't decide whether I should just download the game or try to find the Survival Edition at best buy first thing.

For those downloading on PSN how does it work. I was under the impression that it was an app you download from the store and then, at unlock it starts the download. I bought it but don't see the app anywhere. Ideas?
I'm in the same boat. Freaking GameStop strikes again :/
I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this! I mean I have always my space clean but I like to have all things in it's place, all stuff cleaned, for a gaming session.*
*I'm also a fan of a simple/minimalistic setup so maybe that's why I like it this way.
I'm downloading the PSN version fellow GAFfer and they had two different option which was a shame because it would be nice to have both.

Wish you the best, seriously. Evacuating fucking sucks.
Me too. But I like having my place especially clean when I know I'll be poopsockin it all weekend. All that take-out can get messy.
Yeah it was after all. I know I'm not completely inept haha, but I doubted myself there for a minute. It must have just not activated the drop or something because of where it fell.
Thanks for the quick responses all.

Soo, how does it work when you pre-order?
Is there a a preload and how do you get to it? Just seem to have that static theme in my downloads!
Thanks

Check you Download List fellow GAffer. It should be there an installer. 200Mb give or take. Get that and from there you will download the full game.
That's me! Oh man that's amazing, here I was thinking I was the only one who likes to do that.
Hell no fellow GAFfer, there's plenty of us out there =P

Did you read my other posts? By complexity, I meant narrative depth and themes, not gameplay.
How dare you blaspheme against my dream game made reality, the most auethentic tense zombie game ever made!

It really doesn't. It has shitty performance, but the game itself is a ton of fun. I'd say it's one of the better XBLA games released. I was playing it last night and was having a great time, even on my second playthrough. For a single-player zombie survival game, it's pretty much in a league of it's own.
That aside. I want my unlock for TLOU. The wait is killing me.

Yeah it's one of my favorite games ever. The unscripted moments and sense of danger and tension is up there with Dark Souls
If you got time to kill and want to see why the game is so good, http://forums.undeadlabs.com/showthread.php?17553-The-quot-Oh-Shit-quot-Moments-Thread
25 pages of nothing but unscripted moments of utter panic
Here's one of my recent:
"Damn I feel like an asshole...but I had to survive.
I'm doing my no cars playthrough and was heading over to rescue Jacob. Along the way, I came across a scavenger Anna holed up in the McCready farmhouse. So I agree to help her for half her supplies. But by this point, both melee weapons were yellow and I only had a few bullets left. As we begin gathering supplies, a horde shows up. They breach the fence and come over the wall. I use my last few bullets to take out a few that were attacking Anna. We fight together and attempt to gather supplies
But our fighting only attracted more and soon at least thirty zombies were within the walls. I hear Anna screaming. I peek out the window and most of those 30 have surrounded her, clawing at her. I have no more painkillers and only three zombies are approaching.
I can try and help or I can run. She would be my distraction. It takes a minute for me to decide. Then I turn and climb over the wall. I crouch in the bushes. It's night now and Anna calls for help on last time on the radio. Then silence.
I leave the farmhouse behind, heading for Jacob. I am alive, but at a great cost."

Sorry if this has been answered before. Don't want to read the while thread to not spoil me.
How shareable is this game? The online pass is a "download" (the game is shareable) or a "service" (others users on my console can't play online)?

Oh no, I agree, depth and themes have their place, but the game needs to be, well, a 'game.' It needs to have character interactions that make a difference. Or else it's just doing the motions. And if you are just doing the motions, it needs to wrap you in and make you NOT realize that you are going along a set path. That's my big problems in the games ND makes, I feel like I'm just an actor in a movie they want to direct with no ability to ad-lib. I keep going back to Spec Ops, and that totally made me not realize I was going along a set path with that one. It sold itself convincingly.
Not to cross-post, but for example in SoD, I lost Marcus just to a bad decision I, the player, made. I spent hours building him up, only to loose him to something I could of handled back at base. That had more emotional resonance with me than anything in this game up to this point. Decisions have consequences.
LOL you probably hate me by this point, but thank you for introducing me to SoD. It's great
Your opinion != my opinion. The game is boring and soulless in my opinion.

And I must say the intro was very good and it felt like I was watching some golf my favorite. Movies like 28 days later. It does slow down after the awesome beginning but the pacing is good. Graphics are awesome IMO and as many have said before lighting is top of the line. Combat and gameplay is great. Al is also good. In one scenario i was caught off guard from behind and Ellie stabbed the infected in the back.
Mp is different but a fresh change of pace. I wouldn't call it the best mp out there but it doesn't feel tacked on. Love the fact that there is limited ammo and things. No weapon really feels op for me which is good. And my god the mp hraphics are so crisp and clean. As i played i judt keo thinkimg "how do tjhey make it look so good" If youepr worried itfeels like Uncharted mp, it does not, at least imo.
Im loving the game so far and got it early from J and L electronics in Chinatown but i already shared tht info earlier.

You're welcome. I had been following the game for months and it's the type of game where word of mouth is critical to its success. And it's just an incredible game.LOL you probably hate me by this point, but thank you for introducing me to SoD. It's great
And I'm always up for a nice debate. Most forums are nothing but trolls and annoying comments without substance, mixed with good posts. NeoGaf and Undead Labs are the exceptions
Doesn't metacritic have a rule where if a reviewer scores a game much below the average it can be taken off?
I'm looking at Quarter to Three average, and they have the highest percentage for lowest score given. On average he scores 10 points lower than the average metacritic reviewer.
I'm gonna try to email metacritic and see if that 6 can be taken off.

Seriously? It's one review and it's just a Metacritic score. It doesn't affect our opinions and impressions of the game in any way

Lol that's a funny rule. So metacritic just silences reviewers that go against the consensus opinion?
I went all the way down to Chinatown to find that they wouldn't sell me the game. You better not just be advertising that store and lying the whole time!!
