You doing Survival run or grounded? I can't decide myself.
Guys, I'm doing the MP thread right now. Should be up soonish
Well executed.
Hard actually. I want to cruise through and get all convos, pendants and all that without any hitches. I'll max out skills and weapons on my second run (Hard+) and that'll be when I listen to the cutscene commentary. I'll knock out Left Behind after that first run too, but I'll do that one on Survivor since it isn't too difficult.
Third run will be Survivor. Im not touching Grounded. Been there, done that and it kicked my ass.

Nice. Is it weird I like the MP for TLOU way more than the SP?

No, the SP is great, but I had more fun in MP.
I played on Hard on PS3 and found it to be just fine, not really all that hard at all. I like a challenge but nothing that makes the game no fun to play. That's why I was thinking about grounded, but maybe I should just wait on that if I ever decide to do more than 2 plays on the PS4 version.
I played it on hard too and thought it was the right balance. Very enjoyable. Tried to play it on the hardest difficulty, but the game was too buggy for me. Anyone else had this?
Nope. Buggy how?
I plan on playing on hard the first time through just to enjoy the game and the commentary but still offer some of a challenge.
I only encountered a lot of the following playing Survival Mode. Playing on Hard i really didn't see any breaking bug. just some funny glitches sometimes.
There were some similar problems to these in ND forums.
New Game Plus doesn't work properly (appears to be related to the day-one DLC offered by the online pass), the world randomly doesn't draw in for a lot of people, dialog drops and conversation trees break, the game's statistics feature doesn't work right (I've beaten the game twice and the statistics say I haven't beaten it at all even though I've played for over 30 hours), the alternate costumes break animations and drop items that ought to be on the character (Ellie's flashlight), and on day one no one could save their game due to a server issue...
I think some of them got fixed in updates and what not.
Some more examples.

There are some weird glitches with the game, but they are still fairly rare. One of my friends had issues with the game crashing right after the opening cutscene and not getting any farther. I've fallen through the world a few times, mostly during the 2nd half of Fall.

I had a weird environment and audio glitch at the beginning. During the sequence where you are walking through the camp for the first time part of some buildings didn't load right and the music dropped out.
If anyone is interested, the art book is up on Amazon for less than 25 dollhairs.
Excellent price for a beautiful book.

Man, I really feel like the game should be out this week. I think it's all the hype in this thread already. Still one more week
They should just move it to August 5th. I mean, it's basically releasing in August anyway.
On a side note, I tweeted Neil and asked if the TLOU sound app for the Sony headsets will be available to dl on the 29th. Hopefully I'll get a response, but I doubt it.

Just bought it since I know someone that really, really wants it.

I played through the entire game without a single glitch or bug. Can't say I was surprised, though, ND games have always been pretty well polished.
I've been asking them about the preset for a while. No answer yet. If I have to I'll just load the PS3 preset onto my Elites and just use that.

Lucky. I have the Golds, and the Elite presets don't convert so I'm shit outta luck til it actually gets released.
The TLoU preset for the Elites was incredible. It felt like I had gotten an entirely different sound system. The situational awareness afforded by it was top notch.
I forget, what's Polygon's stance on P's and frames these days? Will the Remastered score be higher or lower because of the increase in both?
In all seriousness, I can't fucking wait for this to finally hit. I wanted this shit TWO MONTHS AGO. I'm READY. GIVE IT!
TLOU was my most played game in 2013 by far. I sold my PS3 copy when the Remaster was announced and I've been itching and jonesing to play it ever since. I should have just hung onto it and had two copies, but I wanted Wolfenstein and Target had that triple trade value deal at the time.
I'm going to play the shit out of this. I already did Survivor + on PS3, so I'll definitely do a Grounded and Grounded + run this time, plus I want a commentary run as well, so I might kick down to Hard so its a bit less intense. Plus, there's that multiplayer. Man oh man. I was straight up HOOKED on that last summer. I obsessed over it for like 3 months straight. Really enjoyed trying to get my clan population up to record levels too. My best was about 121 I think. Can't wait to get back into this again. It makes me feel like I won't need to buy any other games until the end of Fall. I sure didn't need any last year when I was playing it.

I think it would be kind of cool if Polygon had someone else review the remaster to see a different opinion. The complaints seemed to be about the combat which I really liked actually. To me it felt very weighty and chaotic. Most of the fights really felt like a fight for survival. Most reviews are probably just going to say, read the review for TLoU. It's that but prettier.

Are there any secret stores in Houston that release early copies? Lol, looking forward to impressions.

Agreed. I'd love a slower paced, tactical horde mode. Just like the MP, but horde style.

Here's what I think: Polygon will give the Remaster an 8.5. They have admitted that they were "wrong" about TLOU (see the 2013 GOTY episodes of The Besties) so with the improvements I think they'll feel obligated to up their original score, but I feel like with Gies and pride they'll be hesitant to undermine their original score and will, at most, raise it only by a point. That's my guess.
I loves this

It's the beautiful beautiful combat.. but with live prey / chaos.
Can't wait for the MP in PS4!! Will be glorious.
I'll friend you and see if we can ever be in the same time zone..

Hahahahahahaha, yeah, WHAT?
That's how games work! Do they want it like Demon's Souls where you have have half health the next time around? Do they want you to get a Game Over if you die too many times? What the fuck?

PERMADEATH + HARDCORE+ ELLIE LOSES HALF HEALTH + YOU LOSE EVERYTHING + JOEL HAS ONE LIFE + NEW CHARACTERS TO PLAY AFTER EACH DEATH
I don't know what the hell he was expecting.

Maybe he meant the game is so good that getting killed and playing over a section again isn't really punishment?
Like, the one thing he doesn't like about The Last of Us is that it's almost too good.
Tom Chick to me always seems like a guy who would form a specific narrative in his head about a game before he even touches it, and then writes down every point in the game that could be twisted to fit that narrative as he plays it. Sadly, his TLOU review isn't even as bad as it gets.
