I just picked up my copy!!
quick question and sorry if this has been asked already. I was wondering about the sound set up. I have a 5.1 Dolby Pro Logic system and was wondering which settings to use. I saw a number of options in the demo and I am not sure which one would work best for me. I am in a small dorm room at an Air Force base so if that changes which setting I should use, I am not sure. Thank for any help you guys/gals can offer.
I can't wait to dive in after work!

Reading the art book before finishing the game? Somewhat of a rookie mistake. No way in hell I'm opening mine any time soon.
Hell, both Starcraft CE's and Diablo III CE's art books are still sealed...

When you guys were downloading did the time remaining get stuck? I'm at about 10% downloaded and it's been showing 6 and a half hours left almost the whole time.

Do you need the online pass to play MP or can you play it for awhile without it?
The intro is awesome...played until you meet Ellie and stopped because I had to,great so far,there's a few incredible L3 moments/views as well...
Listen mode lets you see through walls and stuff,it helps you when you sneak a lot...I heard it's gets challenging in a few places,even on normal so I went with that for now.

The word on the street is to play on hard, with listening mode off. It lets you see enemies through walls.
Listen mode is the "wall hack" thing. Where you see the outline of the opposing team if they're moving and within a certain distance of you.
Btw to get those supplies needed to keep your clan alive: it's the loot you pick up from dead bodies. Bigger the clan, the more you have to loot.
Dolby Digital 5.1 should be a safe bet. As for the dynamic range, set it to max if you want the most realistic sound. This means things like voices may be much quieter than explosions though, so you may have to run at a higher volume. If you want to turn down the volume just reduce the dynamic range, with night time being the lowest level.

You need an online pass.
Haha that's fantastic then. I hear there is an incredible amount of 'explored narrative', wherein if you methodically scan every room and such, you'll find emergent storylines that paint a surprisingly deep portrait of what happened in this world as everything was falling apart.
That's one of my favorite storytelling techniques in games (because it generally means less writing with dialogue but more visual resonance, which the game development community is far more talented at), so I cannot wait to methodically comb every level. Will probably have a playtime of 80 hours by the end, since I had around 50 hours for Infinite.

Hi.
I've been 99% blacked out on TLoU since last year's E3 demo. Since then I've seen I think a few screenshots. All I know about the story is that they're on a journey. And that it's post-apocalyptic.
I've kept the impending release out of my thoughts, at least I did until I got my shipping notification last night. Tonight should be really interesting. I haven't gone this cold into a highly anticipated game in a really long time.
I can't wait to get home tonight and start playing.

I am like 4 hours in. Playing on hard without Listening mode. Haven't run in any trouble yet.

I'm starting to regret that I begun in normal mode. As for the listening mode, I used it in the beginning, now not so much, it really make the game too easy.

After reading all the "holy shits" and "omg" about the intro my body still wasn't ready. I'm not one to get emotionally moved by a game, but I was literally holding back tears. I was all choked up. My hands were actually a little bit shaky. Well done Naughty Dog. In 20 minutes you managed to make me more emotionally invested in a story than most games do in 8+ hours.
Hmm, I am really playing this slowly and searching everything but I am not finding that many items of story importance. You get a short letter here and there, and stuff like that, but nothing that important...

Man this game is tougher than I was expecting. Still loving it though.
Incredible atmosphere. Fantastic characters. Beautiful swan song for this generation.

OK, I got my copy from my cheapasses at EB, and I have to complain: It seems the online code is a sticker placed right on the cover. Like it was printed off a computer...wtf? Is this normal? I hate my EB, the inside of the box arts never have any art cover, it just all feels like a knockoff.

Yeah don't play this game on normal. And if you can switch LM also off, some of the encounters were tense as hell because I played that way.
The graphics are really great for a console game, but the poor IQ is really standing out on a large display. Framerate also takes a hit in quite a few places.
I am playing on my PC monitor so I am sitting really close to the screen, much closer than comfy couch console GAF. Still looks good even though the jaggies are obvious and jarring.
It is saddening that we couldn't get this on PS4 instead but enticing because just imagine what Naughty Dog can do with the new hardware.
Especially all the small details, animations and facial expressions. Never seen something like this in a video game before.
Only thing that bothers me so far is the aliasing. Would look glorious in 1080p with decent AA.
Well I guess I'm definitely playing this game now, after what happened on the Giant Bomb cast last night!
What happened there?

Would you guys suggest normal or hard difficulty?

Hard, listen mode off. Take every encounter seriously and be rewarded with some of the most intense gameplay ever.
Adam Boyes showed up with a PS4 and let me have a hands on with it, and also gifted me a copy of TLoU.
