I felt like I was pretty thorough, Left Behind took me 2.5-3 hours. I'd equate it to the

Excellent thanks guys. I'll wait until tomorrow so I can really enjoy it.
"Oh....man!!"

That bit was fantastic, this time around I was clued in so just legged it outta there
It was a hunter.
Finishing this again on PS4 felt great. I really feel like 'Hard' is the lowest difficulty you should play this game at to fully enjoy it. You get enough resources to have a chance in all encounters, but few enough to still make you feel shit for wasting them. This port definitely has some ( mostly graphical ) issues that weren't as noticeable in the more blurry original. [ GENERAL SPOILERS ]
And I still can't help but wonder what the hell went wrong @ Naughty Dog when they made that part. You know what I'm talking about. [ STORY SPOILERS ]
Pop-in when you're riding Callus through the forest was very noticeable and pop-in in general was more noticeable due to the increased resolution. There was also definitely something off in some areas regarding brightness, and that horrible mess that was the 'spore-filled' underground should be patched.
And I still can't help but wonder what the hell went wrong @ Naughty Dog when they made that part. You know what I'm talking about. [ STORY SPOILERS ]
The part with the sniper. Just so many things went wrong there. First, there's the sniper that will know where you are at all times. He happily wastes his shots, shooting cars you're behind or the building you're in without having an actual line of sight to you, which makes no sense in the context of this world. You cannot kill the sniper by shooting him out of his perch for some reason. The sniper will always know where you are and always knows when you're coming. When you scan the room he was in before entering it, you'll see that it is empty, but upon entering, the guy magically appears to force you into a QTE. Only now, all the other Hunters decide to attack for some reason after waiting for a long-ass time, and only now the invincible Molotov-truck comes rolling in. Then you have to sit there with your infinite ammo one-shot-kill rifle and kill a bunch of dudes while you wait for Sam, Ellie and Henry to move their asses. Then, you finally get a shot on the truck, which then completely unnaturally floors it into the nearest building. The building partially collapses and Sam, Ellie and Henry just stand around there for a good few seconds before exclaiming that everything is ok and safe and fine as they slowly start walking towards you, when 'suddenly', they're attacked by Clickers in a very artificially scripted moment. It never matters how fast you shoot the Clickers; Sam always gets bitten. And then, a ton of infected show up from out of nowhere, and Joel just up and leaves this amazing sniper rifle he found. Nothing of this makes sense.
This moment just feels wrong on so many levels. They take away a logical option from you ( can't snipe the sniper ), it has a completely unneeded turret-section ( shooting lots of dudes with the infinite ammo one-shot kill sniper rifle ), it makes no sense in the context of the world and story ( sniper wasting his shots, Joel leaving such a powerful weapon behind, Hunters pouring so much resources into tracking them down and attempting to kill them after they already left their territory ), it uses numerous obvious cheats ( sniper always knows where you are, can't sneak up on sniper, Sam always gets bitten ), it has unfeasible amounts of enemies appearing out of nowhere twice ( Hunters when you get to the sniper rifle and infected when you kill the truck ), and it all just feels so unpolished ( Sam, Ellie and Henry just awkwardly standing around there for a good few seconds after killing the truck ).
This entire section is just is such a dip in quality in an otherwise awesome game. Luckily, the damage is somewhat mitigated because it is sandwiched in between two awesome sections; ice-cream truck, general conversations, scavenging and darting just before it and the shocking deaths of Sam and Henry after it.

If you play grounded, will it unlock all of the other difficulty trophies?

None of the events in that section bothered me at all. It felt like a tense action sequence to me, and really only remember being shot at when I was in his general line of sight or near an open window. I actually enjoyed being able to let loose with the rifle after all the ammo conservation.
It might have bothered me in a lesser game where this kind of sequence didn't feel earned, or if it was repeated 4 or 5 times in an 8 hour game. Once in a 15 hour game is ok with me.
just finished the PS4 version man, game is still great
I loooove the
I loooove the
final encounter with the guys in the hospital. you know its basically the end of the game and you've been saving up all these supplies the whole time and you don't have to care about conserving anymore. such an awesome feeling. sure I'll take out this guy with 3 molitovs, why not?

Just had a weird glitch.
Near then end of the game under the free-way, there's meant to be a load of clickers and two bloaters. Nothing has spawned, except the sleeping runners.

It's an amazing section when played on survivor difficulty.
Because they are all armed with assault rifles and shotguns, you can't afford to fuck up even 1 encounter with them. Also there are only 2 or 3 checkpoints throughout the entire final section so you have to take it very slow. At one point I checked the pause screen and it hadn't saved in 16 minutes!
I've never once picked up the
M4
Just such a stupid fuckin weapon to put in there for you to use. I mean I guess it's cool the option is there, but that gun is so "not Joel" to me.

Yeah that's how I felt too. It made sense to me in the context of that last sequence.

Yep, sure does! I thought that was a nice touch, making the trophies cascade even from Grounded.
I just felt weird picking it up. Like these guys needed to suffer more or have more glorious deaths rather than being peppererd up with automatic weapon fire.
Which is why my weapons of choice in that area are mollys, nailbombs and the Diablo....wiith some rifle and shorty action sprinkled in.

Best weapon. So satisfying with full upgraded and then pulling off long distance headshots

Finished the game yesterday, on Normal, and started another play right away on survival.
TLOU is one of my favorites of all time. And that open ending. Ambivalent, yet heart breaking...
Phenomenal writing, intelligent level design, compelling characters, great music and sound, top notch graphics and some of the most enjoyable gameplay mechanics I have come across... Thank you ND for renewing my faith in this medium...just thanks!

Apologies is this has been posted, but here's the Angry Joe Review for those interested.

Great review but there's a ton of spoilers >__> Although I guess if you hadn't played the game you would either forget not notice them.

Can't believe he spoiled the playing as Ellie section though. Like that was a huge surprise to me when I played it
Tell me about it, I just got past that section on Grounded+. Actually this time around it wasn't that bad but the entire Pittsburgh chapter took me 6 hours. Can hardly believe I'm saying this but I was happy to reach both the hotel basement and afterwards the Stalker encounter in the sewers.
Like Bill said: I rather deal with infected than humans, at least they are predictable.
My fav is the Shorty because of the pretty mess it makes, but Im upgrading everything at the same time, but the that thing is satisfying too.

I was trying to stealth everybody but it just wasn't happening. Waaay too many enemy respawns. I ended up bowing loads of people, Ellie sniped a few here and there and then just bottling + melee weaponing everybody. I came through that part with only 3 arrows lost so it wasn't too bad in the end, plus I picked up a priceless molotov. Horrible sequence but getting past that part was a 'thank fuck for that!' moment.

I can only imagine how difficult the
Tunnel must be on Grounded, the part where you are separated with the other kid. So many infected around and ye can't really predict how or when they will come at you. I had barely enough supplies to get through that on survivor
Random question, but the shiv door trophy didn't pop for me after I opened the last one. I am 100% certain I didn't miss one as I have gotten them all before. This happen to anyone else, did they add a door in the remastered version?
tbf its quite easy to miss

Just finished it, 17 hours of pure gaming pleasure. After 30 years plus of gaming, I never experienced so many emotions, questions still play in my mind regarding the end but wow I'm well happy I did it. Great story, solid gameplay and rocking soundtrack. Pity it ended though could have done with another few chapters.
I havent got there yet I think Im at the
Abandoned town with Henry and Sam
Did I miss it?
No. It's during the latter half of Fall.
God damn, game is long lol.
Yep. You're about halfway through.

This was also probably the game that gave me the strongest emotions when it comes to connection with the characters. It also lingered with me for quite some time after I finished it (dat ending !)
