That blur is just something else...it's really disheartening.
Also, my Region 3 disc seems to be faulty with the initial disc-read problem.
I'm going to New York next week. I'll pick up a copy there. Hopefully a Region 1 disc fairs better in my machine.
Fuck. I was looking forward to playing through this during the week leading up to my NYC trip.

Rented it from Redbox and signed out of PSN so I should be good. Loving it so far and imo is way better than Uncharted.

Well I just played for a hour and a half.
Holy shit, this will probably be my GOTY. So good. I'm glad ND did a more realistic game and hope they do more. I like Uncharted but feel this is so much better.
I actually recorded my playthrough of the first hour with commentery (off the tv sadly, bad quality I know.) so I'll be uploading that later. I was silent through a lot of it since I didn't wanna miss what they were saying :lol
My thoughts so far:
I usually suck at survival horror type games, the only one I could get into was ZombiU and I beat that. I can already tell that I'll beat this multiple times. Like I said I usually suck at these types of games but I started on Normal since I figured easy would be too easy and wanted to stay away from hard. Normal isn't too hard so far, but difficult enough so glad I went with it. Can't wait to play more!

My thoughts so far:
Dat into. I would totally love if ND did a sequel where you play as a little girl and had no weapons. That felt intense, and I knew she was gonna die. The fact that she was killed by a army person instead of a zombie was shocking.
I didn't expect the intro or Ellie not being there at the beginning. Now at a apartment with Ellie and am escorting the "cargo."
Graphics are awesome. Gameplay is awesome. I freaked out at the two zombies when they got up from eating the other person at the beginning and wasted almost all my bullets. In the following fights I got better and in the big cargo dock place fight I used my stealth better and even had fun with a brick.
This game is awesome and I can't wait to play more!

How do you reload in MP?
R1 when you're not aiming.
I've only been playing MP, haven't even looked at SP lol.
Clan up to 39! Not sure how anyone expects to survive the 12 weeks given that Survivors mode doesn't give enough supplies unless you're really stomping the other team.
I'm enjoying it so far. You could almost play it like UC, but that'll get you killed more often than not. Been going solo, so it's hard to coordinate with people. The hard part is dealing with high level players that have already unlocked some of the better weapons. Is there an OT for MP?

Can someone post some MP impressions? I am hoping it's really good, gonna pick the game up tonight.

Quoted for truth.
I mean I may as well just rent the game if nobody has positive MP impressions.

Just got a good solid hour and a half played. Very powerful stuff and colour me impressed. Game finally worked without save bugs or cutscenes freaking out. Though a bunch of textures did disappear in the intro

Three hours in. Just reached
. Playing on Hard, no Listen mode
Despite a few glitches here and there, this game is incredible. Against humans or infected, the tension is heart-pounding. The visuals and animations are superb and the voice acting and narrative is excellent.
The controls are smooth and the combat flows together so well. I love the focus on stealth and the slow build-up in the beginning is so rare in games, but executed perfectly here. Melee kicks ass and the guns feel and sound powerful.
Is there a way to peek out from cover? That would be helpful.
That opening. Damn.

This is the first game I've ever played that captured that mayhem and panic of an initial outbreak. It was just perfect and sad at the same time. Different from Bioshock's or GOW's openings, but just as powerful and memorable

Also, the MP has been getting some good feedback in this thread.

Good to see some positive impressions coming in now that the issues seem to be dying down.

I felt the exact same way. I
got all chocked up when she died because I felt like I knew her in that incredibly short amount of time
I too have never cared about a character so fast only to feel such strong emotion surrounding their loss.

And I'm so happy the "spoilers" I saw before had weren't even major or even twists really. One was revealed early on. And the other wasn't even story related. So beyond what I knew about the opening, I'm actually like 99% blind about the story, very very excited about that.

MP is amazing. Lone wolf CoD BS won't fly here. That's just an easy way to get killed. The combat in MP retains the same tension and focus on stealth that the single player does. You have to be cautious and wary, try to flank and ambush. It's not tacked on in any way
You would think there would be a spoiler warning.
Why? Every single artbook I've ever seen has spoilers in it. Unless you think an artbook only has images of the 2 protags and that's it.
For real. I cracked open the first couple pages. Whoops.
It's a beautiful book though. Looks great on my coffee table with my cat lying on it.
Help!
I'm near the end, but I think I'm stuck, or the game is glitched. Can anyone who has finished the game answer this:
LOCATION SPOILER
Nevermind! I solved it.

When you are supposed to get through a flooded tunnel (the one where the water is flowing rapidly) by, I'm guessing, jumping between containers: how did you pass this part? I managed to get to the last container, but I can't reach the vent on the left side without falling in the water. I see no other way to reach the other side. And the game has autosaved exactly where I stand.
Nevermind! I solved it.
Not that far. Although it's a complete ballache you lost all that progress.
Gotta say the 2 most satisfying things about this game so far have been the sheer production values, and the fucking melee.
God damn has punching someone in the throat has never felt so good.
Also, nice easter egg, you know the clocks that are hanging on the wall? They actually track the time in the game world, and you will see the hours go by!

Got it downloaded up to 68% and was able to start playing. I have about an hour put in and a black screen with a percentage is showing. Download the stuff I skipped, I guess. I wouldn't mind but it is taking FOREVER to download. It took me well over 12 hours to get the initial download :/
Hard isn't that difficult to be honest. If you die, it's because you fucked up.
For someone who usually starts on normal or easy, I'm gladly content with hard.
An yes it can.

Hell yeah...the melee is amazing. Just feels brutal. What's more satisfying than throwing a brick at a guy's head than rushing him and smashing him in the face with pipe? Or those badass contextual moves?
Hasn't been too punishing, and yes to the latter.
Okay good I guess.. I'll just blaze through on Easy up until that point.
