And just to add to this, and show how brilliant the game is, I played this part in a completely different way. I snuck my ass around, choked out every runner, shived the clicker blocking the exit and made it to the next level without alerting a soul. That is the brilliance of the game. You have to stop, think, plan and act according to what feel is the best approach, given your inventory.
I understand how some people may not like the gameplay and think it isn't fun because it isn't. A lot of the time theres a feeling of dread and its very intense. I have to stop and take a breather from time to time, but that is the beauty of the game. It's a survival horror and there is absolutely none of that Uncharted feel good vibe.
I could be wrong here because I only spent a little time messing with the custom presets in the companion app, but if you really want the bass you should be able to mess with it in there.
Granted this is for anyone interested in having more bass. This isn't the prefect option, but it does allow you to mess with the basics.

I use my Beats Pros and they sound great XD
Finished the main story, for the first time. I'm actually surprised the game lived up to the hype as much as it did.
Opinions on ending follow:
In either case, that's my 2 cents. Enjoyed the game thoroughly, and started the left behind DLC. Liking the multiplayer too.
Opinions on ending follow:
I'm not sure how I feel about how it ended, though. I did see the last level coming, but it still didn't sit right with me. Ended up going through the whole level without killing a single fire fly that I didn't have to. I get that Ellie was Joel's reason for living at that point and that's why he took her back and ruined everything, I understand his motivations, but it just felt like he was being an idiot about it. But what really got me about the ending was the incompleteness of it. It seemed like Ellie's infection was progressing, that she also felt like Joel was lying to her, but that's all the ending showed before cutting to credits. Felt kinda underwhelming, especially with all the things Joel got away with.

Yeah. I got the Platinum on PS3 this way for quite a few trophies.

I wish I could play this game with the 30fps option, but the 60fps SHADOWS. The 30fps shadows are kinda messed up. They're missing in a lot of areas or you have to get really close to an object before the shadow pops in. Ugh.
Not just there. There's a few other areas that are overcast/low sun where the shadow detail gets absolutely murdered.

Why no 60 fps?

So you want impacted gameplay and jaggish shadows?
Just play it on ps3 then. All the jank your weird brain needs.
I think you'll like the DLC. I thought it did a good job getting to know a certain character more than you already did. I know you already started it, but if you aren't to far into it, the comic is a great read as a prequel to it.
For collectables? It does, but it doesn't get rid of the ones you have already found. The extra dialogue might not carry over. I think you have to get that in one play through, but I'm not 100%.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Turning listen mode off takes things to another level. Prepare your butthole for maximum pucker!
It's not your tv man. We all gots issues. The weird thing is I set my tv up in a in game dark room, had it looking sweet. Walked Joel out and then back in again. The flooding brightness kicked in again. I do not have any dynamic settings on my tv switched on. There is something going with the game. I guess we just have to deal and hop nd patch it.
Oh! That's great to hear. I probably won't be Trophy hunting with the game but I was interested to see what carried over.
So far things are just so much more tense, but I love it. Having a pair of A50's helps ease the pain just a bit.

Been meaning to ask this for a while, but does anyone feel the collision detection boxes on objects are way too big? I'm always getting stuck on scenery and furniture that's not even that close to me. I'll either slow down like I'm scraping against it or stop completely. Its really fucking annoying.

I appreciate those that watched the stream and stuck around through it. Grounded can be a pain in the dick but overall it isn't so bad besides one or two parts. Will pick up tomorrow in the afternoon again.
I just played the same encounter for the past three hours and made no progress on Grounded. What. The. Fuck.
It's the scene where Ellie just gets the rifle and is supposed to be protecting you. Well guess what? She doesn't protect you for shit in Grounded mode. Whoop. Dee. Fucking. Doo.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.

For folks beating the game for the first time:
Highly, highly, highly recommended Druckmann keynote about the game's origins, his motivations, and personal interpretation of the ending. Video and audio quality is not super (and this is from the conference's official channel - I guess just be thankful we have any video at all) but it's a very interesting watch.

I feel like if the game didn't have combat it would be easier to get through.
I can assure you, it's not. It seems to be a common trait in these headsets that whenever you toggle some simulated surround sound, the trade off is a way more muffled sound.

I have that OG sony headsets and wondered how it stacks up against the latest one. Im surprised by your feedback to be honest. My headset is still working like new amd i never had the sense that it needed replacement thats why im still using it. Will probably upgrade if the improvement is really that drastic from my current one.For everyone saying the Gold's are they way to go, I disagree.
I bought these, the original 2011 stereo headset with VSS is incredibly better.
>Better mic position
>louder overall sound
>incredible bass
After buying the Gold, and then returning to these; it was a HUGE improvement, and I am really disappointed in the Gold.

I must have played through this game 3 or 4 times on the PS3, and I just can't get enough of the game play. It's hooked me all over again with this PS4 version.
It has such weight and heft to it, giving traversing the world and engaging in combat a visceral feel. Looting/scavenging for supplies is also really addicting.
Does anyone else wish they had put more cupboards/drawers/shelves to open and search? Even if the spawn rate of items stays the same, just give me shit to open and check!

I'm surprised I didn't take much long considering I only had 1 bullet between 6 weapons. lol. I now have a modded pipe but not enough supplies for the next shiv door so I'm a little peeved about that. Hopefully I'll get lucky and find something before. Tomorrow is Fall but I don't think I'll have too many problems with it. Can't remember an encounter that sticks out too much in my mind. Winter I already feel the rage. Can't wait!
Good to know thanks! Looks like I'll be doing that after my first playthrough, then I'll do my grounded run. The game is a LOT of fun!
I'm playing it that way on my first ever playthrough and have yet to really hit a difficult spot. I'm about
halfway through Winter
Enjoy the battle at

Does this also have the audio settings to load? The one reason im put off by the golds is that my friend has one and his mic sounds terrible.

Thanks for this. Great watch. That night of the living dead game Neil was talking about sounded awesome. Ico meets sin city

Just purchased it today, never played it on PS3. I am about 1 hours into the game now. Does it gets better? So far, I am not impressed.
The graphic is good, but not that good. It looks like a painting but lacks some liveliness in other games even on PS3 or Xbox 360.
The combat, I am just not getting used to. I like Gears of War type of cover system. Overall it is still a high quality game, just a bit disappointed after seeing that many 10s.

Yeah, realizing/remembering that Hard isn't that bad at all if you just take your time.
To the poster above, give it time. If you aren't floored by the end of

I'm playing normal mode and getting my ass handed to me.
i always felt the game started a little slow, but then picks up and never stops.

I don't think I died at that part of struggled on survivor. Your companion can do a good amount of the work if you stick back. We'll see how it goes for me tomorrow.

I agree. It is not the 30fps we're used to seeing with other games. There is definitely something off about it and it is the extreme judder.

I'm about 7 hours in and I can say wholeheartedly that it gets waaaayyyyyy better.

Yeah it doesnt feel like a normal 30fps for some reason to me either. after playing Destiny recently a LOT, it feels different
It gets WAY better. You get to a certain point and the game clicks and it never slows down again
I agree. I do think the effect is exacerbated by abruptly switching from 60 to 30 but something definitely feels off for the 30fps option.
jacksepticeye
Member
Yep, it's no wonder people said it felt "broken".
Just finished the game for the first time. Loved most of the story, hated the ending.
Wish there was more of a heartwarming scene between Joel and Ellie, they both deserve that type of connection, rather than Ellie having regrets and Joel lying. I was waiting for a big payoff and it never happened.

I'm pretty sensitive to that kind of thing, and I just played through the first 45 minutes and noticed nothing strange about the gamma.
Yup
No, no, no, the gamma problems show up farther than that.
I mean, there's definitely something wrong with Plato's television, but you'll get to the section where it's extremely noticeable soon.
