I don't understand the audio options. I set it to home theater, but only have 2.0 (auto) as a channel option that it won't let me change???

Why not? Is there a limit to how long an adult should play videogames for? I don't get this way of thinking.....
As long as he/she isn't putting videogames before more important things in their lives like work and family, then I don't see the harm. It's their time to spend.

How significant is the jump in difficulty from Survivor to Grounded? I am on Survivor and early enough in the game where starting over wouldn't be a big deal.

Thats the most disappointing thing about this version and something i really didn`t expect. It feels the pop in is worse than in the ps3 version.
I'm not sure how it would be as a first run through, I've played through a bunch on survivor, so for me it's about the same. I rarely used my supplies as it was and basically stealthed around and used brticks/bottles for most the game, so it's basically the same for me so far.
Was wondering what the best way to do this was? It is going to be a looooong day at work today.
I found the
sniper portion in Summer to be the most infuriating on Survivor thanks to a lack of items at the time. I think I'll dread it the most on Grounded run. The wave segment in Winter was cake in comparison.

I'm gonna try it then, I'll just make sure not to overwrite my current saves if it's too frustrating.
yeah it's actually pretty beefy
playing video games for 18 hours straight is unhealthty, no two ways about it. also if you have work, family, friends, responsibilities and you'd be hard pressed to find an 18 hour stretch as it was.
Yep that part sucks on Grounded too. One hit kills everywhere. Keep smoke bombs handy.

On a regular basis? Sure. But running a marathon once in a while for a big game? I don't see the big deal.
I have work and reponsibilities too but I'm a single young male that lives alone - I often have an entire Saturday or Sunday with nowhere to be. I could definitely stock up on food and drink and play all day if I wanted.
Interesting. I'll have to try it again. I couldn't get it to work but I must have missed something.
That was my problem. Not enough black powder/explosives to make them since I was making other stuff and rarely used the smoke bombs. Might change that up a bit in Grounded.
Arghh first time I missed a collectible in my Grounded run 
. Two shiv doors in a row and I didn't have enough supplies to make two shivs. So I had to leave the second door unopened, and with that, a collectible that was hidden behind it...
Of course, two minutes afterwards I find some scissors that I needed but there's no way to backtrack...
Oh well, I have to do at least one other playthrough to fully upgrade everything so it's not that bad. Do collectibles stack btw or do I need to collect everything in a second playthrough again?

Same here. Many an entire weekend has been spent doing nothing but playing a new release. No regrets.
Yeah, I do this too when I have the time and a game that really grabs me. I actually spent an entire Sunday from about 10am to 3am the next morning paying this game last year and then finished up the following night.
I don't really do that often unless it is an MMO I get sucked into. There is a reason why I try and avoid playing them.

Yup exactly. I mean - my nature doesn't allow me to play more than 2/3 hours at a time without a break. Even for new releases I often play for a bit, make lunch, maybe pop out for an hour just to get some fresh air then come back to it etc. But point is that if I wanted to I could definitely play 12-15 hours straight on a weekend. I don't think it's unhealthy as long as you're still paying attention to your body and the rest of your life outside

So I just got to the part where
?
How far am I?
Enjoying it so far, only played the first 2-3 hours on the PS3 version. Having more fun for whatever reason, but the parts that annoy me still annoy me.
I give Ellie the rifle

I encounter a animation glitch in the early part of the game. You and Ellie were suppose to vault over a obstacle and continue on to a tunnel. Ellie approach the obstacle and she stood up and stiff like a tree glided threw the obstacle like a ghost. Once on the other side she resume her normal animation. Pretty creepy. Other than that the graphics are pretty damn amazing. They look photo realistic.

Umm if you are where I think you are, you're maybe 30-40% through. the game. I'm guessing you have about 6-7 hours at that point.
40% done maybe.
Still got a ways to go. Atleast 10 more hours of the game left.

Are you sure the game was fully downloaded ?
After the first 11 GB download you can play and rest downloads in the background that includes MP .

Does the game share trophy list with the PS3 version?
I completed the game on PS3 on hard. Have been thinking about starting this on Grounded. I'm intrigued and scared.

Since I didn't have a PS3 when this came out, I've managed to stay completely in the dark about this game other than the fact that you're trying to save a girl because she's special and that there's multiplayer.
My copy arrives tomorrow. Pumped!

Well to be fair almost every Batman line delivery uttered by Bale in that trilogy was awful.

Glad to see you're enjoying it
And yeah, the aiming is a little tricky to adapt to until you get the upgrades, but I like the added layer of tension it gave when I had to resort to shooting the enemies, I had to really concentrate and line up the weapon sway for the headshot. Sweaty palms were had many a time.
I agree.
I think what a lot if people are forgetting, and I'm sure it was touched on in the grounded documentary, is that Joel isn't a military trained, steady handed, perfect aim kinda guy. He's just a 'normal' bloke who just so happens to be in that situation.
I'm pretty sure ND mentioned that they deliberately made the aiming that way and the combat the way it is (rough and ragged around the edges, brawler-ish) due to the fact that Joel is a normal guy.
Most definitely and thank you for proving to me that I knew someone would come back with that response. You da man Brandon. Haha.
They are basically the same trophies but the lists are not shared.
I had the same issue when using optical out. When I changed it to HDMI audio on my receiver it detected a 5.1 set-up in game (rather than 7.1, but I don't know if that's supported).
I really envy everyone getting to play this for the first time.
I never play through games more than one. A) Time B) I feel like I would ruin the experience of my first play through
But I caved and picked it up yesterday - Although I didn't get to play last night because company stayed too late and I was up real late the night before playing Hotline: Miami- and I can't wait to dive in and replay this, plus the underrated, highly addicting multiplayer. I also can see myself spending a lot of time in the photo mode.
For those who are playing for the first time and using photo mode, is stopping to take pics and mess with the photos messing with the immersion of the game?

...You know that the different zombies each have different characteristics? Clickers can't see you, but runners still can.

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. Runners are attack on sight.
Can runners see your flashlight? I always forget. I know clickers can't.
I hate Stalkers personally
Always in numbers, unpredictable and they sound awful.
Clickers are blind but Runners aren't, which is why they have such distinct sounds. I don't think flashlight gets noticed by anyone though.
But generally if an infected gets too close the friendly AI will attack, they can be a little haphazard and annoying.

Damn. I should try that - I posted the same problem as well. Have my PS4 going HDMI into my TV, then optical out to my receiver. Game only detects 2.0 - i wonder if it thinks its just outputting to my TV.
Will try running HDMI through my receiver to my TV instead and see if that fixes it
This was exactly my set-up. I think doing HDMI out for audio will fix your issue. (Auto-detect in-game was insisting I was using my TV speakers when I wasn't)
