Can anyone else confirm that this is how they got their code too? I just want to play it but it's bothering me that my EBGames does this.
Also, will we have a MP-GAF team going?

Joel is such a tank even on Hard... though the one hit kill enemies are fucking bullshit. Meleeing one of the runners and suddenly the camera shifts and I'm getting my head ripped off by an enemy I didn't see or hear (which was surprising as the audio up until then had never let me down).
Also this part (about half way through, 45% or something)
Ellie does kind of act like Elizabeth from Bioshock, randomly handing you shit. Not that I'm complaining (or am I?
) but it kind of ruins the scavenging/survival aspect a bit. I was shifting round an area because I'd been spotted and had pretty much nothing. Then Ellie gives me 2 lots of ammo within a minute then a medkit 2 minutes later and I was actually disappointed. But I used that shit and got on with it so I'm feeling a bit hypocritical. At least it's nowhere near as often as in Bioshock though.

where you fall down the elevator shaft and are all alone... SO FUCKING TENSE, I knew as soon as I started up that generator I was going to get ambushed but still... adafunfundefoiwoffjm

The AI doesn't rush fearlessly at you like in Uncharted, and that's not really a bad thing.

Now when PS4 criticism becomes bannable, we'll know why!
My copy just arrived. I hope my 4-year old 60G fat PS3 doesn't overheat.

I think I'm going to turn that off and go in on hard. I hope I dont get screwed.
Hmm, we must be having different experiences. The enemy soldiers run right at me and my companion A.I. is all over the place.
There have been quite a few occasions on hard where I was able to simply blitz for the exit and run away from enemy encounters. It's really all about picking the most opportune time, and zigging and zagging.

IIRC, the Bioshock Infinite art book didn't reveal any characters, that hadn't been shown in the trailers before.

I've just disabled LM (so I'll not be tempted) and set the game to "HARD", hope I can survive
I think in the two examples I'm think of, it's literally impossible, because being shot stops his movement for longer than the magic bullets take to fire again. It feels like an automated death, but I could be mistaken.
I tried it out, and it felt cheep. I think naughty dog only included it for the less than average gamer. For a better experience, I suggest turning it off.
Just fell through the game world. Attacked a guy from behind and off we went through the ground, thought great, have to restart, but it teleported me back without the guy but the camera was now on ground level and couldn't see shit, only when I'm aiming was I able to see something, so I played it like a typical 3rd person shooter Didn't restart because that was a long section with no saves for a long time.
Also my companions are dumb as shit, they block me and/or attract enemies

I've been playing without LM and it's so tense that way but is there any way to peek from cover without exposing yourself?
That would very useful

So I've been playing for about 3-5 hours now. I've started out hard and haven't had any trouble throughout. I think I've died 5 times. Mostly by clickers too.
The thing I love about the combat is the way you have to adapt your tactics if engaging zombies or humans! The only thing that annoys me though is the layout of the cover spots. It makes it so clear when you're going to get in an encounter.
Also I'm loving the random chatter, really makes the characters feel alive. Also one moment in the game made me realise how amazing the voice acting and facial emotions is. It's with Bill but I'm spoilering for people who haven't played yet.
That was amazing.
A tip to y'all: GO INTO EVERY ROOM, all these random letters and scriblings will greatly improve your experience with the game!
What does the patch do anyways ?

When you finally find the car and his friend hanging in his house, you can go in and find a letter from his friend basicly saying that he hated Bill and that he would rather die than continuing with Bill. When you give the letter to Bill he kinda chokes up as he's trying to hold back tears and his face is sad but trying to hold it back trying to brush it off saying "Well fuck him"

I played from 12:30 last night when I picked it up until 6:30 this morning and my save file is completely wiped from the prologue on. When I was trying to quit this morning, I noticed the "Autosaving" thing was stuck and I waited and waited and eventually figured that if anything, the previous save was fine. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
Naughty Dog says this is fixed now but my marathon session is completely thwarted. It might be a few days until I play again.

Are you talking about trophies? Because maxing out Joels skills and all the weapon upgrades take more than one playthrough.

What's it called? And if you don't want it then I'll take it.
Lord Error
Insane For Sony
Did you try going to Load Game screen, instead of selecting Continue?
You quit the game when they suggested to do so? Not surprised, twitter comments on that tweet indicated there's still problem.
* JUST LOG OFF PSN BEFORE STARTING THE SP GAME *
Keep it,it's like 8 download...2 avatars,the whole soundtrack,some t-shirts for Ellie(only when you finish the game I think though),a XMB theme and a few things that help when you start that I forget...
Sony GAF confirmed!
That was really cool of Adam Boyes. As I was saying in another thread, Boyes, Cerny and Yoshida are really a good combination of faces for PR for Sony. Tretton is the only one that's hit or miss, as is Kaz. They nailed the group that should be talking to the press these days

I've been on a complete blackout since last year's E3 showing. I just got home with my copy, very excited to start playing. Glad to see the autosave bug has been fixed, and it looks like The best way to be to in is on hard with no listening, so I'll be doing that.
I'll periodically post impressions here. Naughty Dog is one of my favorite developers and this has been by far my most anticipated title for the last year or so. Can't believe it is finally here, hopefully it lives up to their previous work! A Uncharted 3-type quality game is my expectations going in (which is on the same level as UC1 and quite a few notches below the greatness that is UC2). Reviews don't mean shit to me so this getting a 9.6 or whatever it has on Metacritic is not going to cloud my expectations whatsoever going in. Bioshock Infinite squandered any respect I had left for the vast majority of game journalist reviews.
Anyways, starting it now. I'm psyched!

I was hoping they included that too, but unfortunately there isn't a way. I just rotate the camera when in cover to peek around a corner.
I wouldn't play yet, the "auto saving fuck up" still exists. You may lose all your progress.
That can be a part of emergent storytelling, but there are things more important to me than things being explicitly spelled out (in fact, I prefer when there are no words at all because games are typically terribly written).
The thing I'm looking for is emergent visual storytelling. For example, evidence of a family - their loved ones demolished rooms, little hobbies and a history, and then you eventually find the families desecrated corpses in another room, victim of an apparent group suicide (and you can clearly see the father was the last one alive, so he must have had to kill them). No words need to be said for stuff like this. THis story isn't in Last of Us (to my knowledge, anyway, havent started it yet, will in a few minutes), but it's an example of what I'm talking about and what I'm really looking for.
It's also called worldbuilding sometimes, because it provides a background narrative that makes the world feel lived-in.

That opening.
Shit. I teared up a bit. This game is going to be an emotional wreck.

Going to be playing this in about an hour. Should I download the patch, and then disconnect from the internet to avoid the autosave bug, or should I not even bother with the patch?

Hahaha, I swear this happens to me everytime I play one of these big, anticipated games....played the opening, loved it, get to one of the first real "gameplay" parts, and I cannot find the goddamn
I'm sure it's just some very simplistic little visual cue that I'm missing, haha. I want to help you Tess, I really do.

Wait what? I thought it had been fixed. I just downloaded the patch, should I log back offline from PSn just to be safe?
Download the patch then disconnect from PSN before playing...I downloaded all the codes and patched,disconnected from PSN,played for 1 hour and a half,did some manual saves(going with 3 saves) and quit...started the game again offline,chose continue and I was right where I manually saved last...
