Cheska just lit the fuse for my second bailout.

I'm pretty sensitive to spoilers myself. Granted that wasn't specific. It's a fine line that's better to not even get near.

Its a massively obvious, if non-specific hint as to how the game begins

What Cheska said is about as spoilerish as saying that you use a gun in the game.

Downloading finally!!'

I think I would have preferred the regular download management screen that you can keep track of through the xmb rather than this game specific one.
Maybe a dumb question but will it keep going if I click 'quit game' or do you literally need to stay on that screen for it to keep downloading?
I know it'll download quicker if I'm not doing anything else but it would still feel pretty restrictive if that was the case.
I guess I could switch over to my 360 in the meantime if I want to do anything game related... Probably wouldn't matter if it was downloading in a matter of hours but with my hella slow internets I don't really want to be stuck on the same screen for a whole day haha

So I am in a delima guys and want your opinion on what you would do. I have the survival edition being delievered tomorrow from Amazon. My deliveries from UPS usually happen around 6 PM at night. I took off this week for E3 and TLOU. I have checked my local red boxes online and like every redbox around me as it in stock.
I can literally go less than a mile away and pick up the game to have it to play in the morning. In your opinion is it worth spending the gas money and the $2 to be able to play the game during the day while I am waiting for the delivery?

So now that there's a spoiler thread, what do we discuss here? Obviously the spoiler thread is for plot discussion, so the OT is for...what, game sales, general tips, etc.?
Spoiler thread is for people, that finished the game.

Multiplayer is fucking ace, would recommended if you have a buddy to talk to on a mic. So much fun coordinating and flanking people while constructing then throwing a bomb to get them out of a hole like a rat.

But let's say I'm two hours in and I want to talk about the beginning or a particular section without spoiling the whole game.
Ding ding ding!
Man, the lightning and art direction is through the roof! I walked out of a house and basically stood there, jaw dropped, just staring at my surroundings.

If it was me I'd go redbox it. Gives you an excuse to return it after the other one has been delivered to get snacks and stock up on redbulls.

Honestly, the way I think of spoilers is if I want to actually specify what's happening I would just use the spoiler block which is the [ spoiler ] SPOILER [/ spoiler ] (without the spaces of course).
This game has such high production value which makes little annoyances easier to spot, because everything else is so good. There are some things that break the immersion, but when I compare this game to all the other games there are on the market, it is not even fair to criticize. I cant wait to get home from work and play it more today. I am currently 6hours in.

I'm stuck wondering if I should just buy on PSN and then sell my Joel edition when it arrives (still not dispatched) or wait it out and keep the physical copy and play that instead.
Yeah it's too easy. The only hard fight so far was the one from the demo section.

Wait, even State of Decay doesn't do this. If your ally in that game gets out of crouch, then they'll be attacked and you'll be spotted too. If that's an actual design decision for AI not to react to the ally in this game, that is awfully dumb.
Weird decision there, too.

Hard mode with listen off is perfection.

Home finally. Friday night, the other half has made dinner and ready to start. See you on the other side.
Hmm tempting argument for. Anyone else?
Yeah, that's how it works. Even in the demo I had a moment where Ellie ran past a clicker and then back at Joel, then past the clicker again. Ignored completely.
I just stuck a cable into my PS3 and downloaded the game rather quickly. It was very convenient. Also, having no disc noise is something I'm very happy about. Uncharted 2's continuous disc loading was very subtle, but I don't know how ND managed on TLOU.

I dunno, in a game like this though, it'd be super frustrating to constantly be discovered be A.I. especially with such limited ammo and what not. SoD gives you a ton of ammo, health, and cars that let you get away. This one seems to be a more linear experience. I think it was a better decision not to have the A.I. react to Ellie.

Man, why is everywhere on the High Street selling it for £42.99.
GAME, for example, why do they feel they should ring out that extra £3. I know it's not a lot, but it makes a difference. I'd rather not get it on launch day than pay that £3 to such a horrible place. It's £39.99 on PSN. It's £39.99 on Game.co.uk. The dude told me a few days ago it would be £39.99 - and yet no, it's £42.99.
At least Argos has it for £39.99.

Guys, you have to be even more careful than this with spoilers, pleaseOmg at the beginning. Whhhhhhyyyy
I'm pretty sure that just based on seeing this, and seeing some TV ad for the game, I was able to piece together exactly what the comment is about...
I don't see what's weird about it. It would be stupidly frustrating being discovered entirely not by your mistake, and over something you have no control over. It's a decision that shows they were actually thinking about gameplay and not just doing what's obvious.

Yesterday I watched I am legend. 2 days ago was Children of Men, right now it's Book of Eli. By the time BoE finishes my download should be complete and my poopsockin' can begin.
Exactly my point.

I don't even want to post what I think the comment was about spoilertagged, because I know that if I don't get the "It's not that" from someone, that would probably mean I guessed right.

Remember that old demo where the main character guy disarmed some guy and he pointed the shotgun at his face and the guy goes NOOOOOOO! and he shoots?
Is stuff like that in the game or is it scripted scenes only?

It's in the options.
In my experience games that were downloading have stopped while I was playing something else.

I am going to pick this up a redbox. Who needs sleep!
Thatta boy.
You and me both my friend, you and me both.
Well, I can usually download games in the background and the continue playing something else while it downloads, there is no background option for me, so I am not sure it is the same....

How long do you have left?
