My eyes, they can't roll any further!
I've never felt that way after playing any game. Maybe that will change with TLOU (doubt it).
Not sure about RE5, but in RE4 you kill three to four times as many enemies as you killed in TLoU with guns. And had you not resorted to guns so often, your death count may not have totaled 40.
Again, that's not what the OP is saying at all. He wants suggestions to similar types of games because he really liked what tlou was.
By "subtlety and restraint," I meant how music barely every plays, how most things are said with eyes or emotions rather than words, how things aren't constantly exploding around you, how you take your time literally getting to most places entirely by foot rather than being shuttled there via some spectacular set-piece. It's a very, very quiet game -- which is why the fits of raw, realistic violence are some impactful.
Kills you've done, but then you died and restart from a checkpoint are still added to your total. I remember getting about 400 enemy kills and I don't even think I ran into 400 enemies.
Man I like that a lot. Was not a fan of bullet sponges in Uncharted.
Exactly. TLoU was very restrained in this regard. It rarely sent "waves," and the two or there times it did, they were search parties checking in on the other enemies you had taken out. In the vast majority of the encounters, there was a finite set of enemies you could quietly approach like a puzzle. And for every encounter there were like 15-20 minutes of just silent exploration, figuring out how to get from point A to point B while scavenging for supplies, piecing together side stories with notes and letters, and talking to the other characters. TLoU is very understated in its presentation, and I admire it for it.
Yep, most enemies in TLoU drop dead in only a couple of shots. Most enemies can be killed with one shot. And of course if you don't want to die 40 times like he did, you can sneak and such to evade or stealth-kill your enemies.
Was the game too hard for ya?
There's like 15 minutes of quiet exploration between each encounter. Scavenging, crafting, upgrading. Piecing together stories with notes and letters. Character banter. Magical moments. (Those who played Spring will know the one that immediately comes to mind.) The light traversal loop of carrying around ladders and planks, ferrying around pallets, rolling Dumpsters, turning on generators, swimming and diving, etc, just break up the pacing to keep things mechanically involving rather than just walking from point A to B like in Walking Dead. And there's no violence in these extensive segments... and rarely any music. Just the sound of snow sifting on the wind, or of autumnal leaves rustling in the trees, or the trickling of water in a babbling brook.
The Last of Us then Rogue Legacy?
