I find that pretty stupid. Why does every fucking game dev want to tack on bs multiplayer? I don't get it.

I've heard the MP is actually pretty good, but I haven't tried it. I just find it funny that everyone hates on EA for the online pass thing, but Sony does it and no one says shit. Plus, with everything going on with the next gen, Sony is going to be the white knight for gamers and they only care about us and not about making money, yet they have online passes for all their games.

Im loving the game so far, its NOT fun though. Yeah not fun Naghty dog has done such a great job making it feel like every encounter is life and death, playing the game makes my palms sweat and makes me nervous. So bravo Naughty Dog this game is amazing and i will play through again and enjoy the little things.

Online pass for what? This is a single player game.

WTF did they add a Call of Doodoo versus mode online or something?

It'd not that bad. You join a faction and are fighting for survival and you have yo gather supplies, heal up, craft items and upgrades etc

True, there really are no "easy enemies" so far that I've encountered, and once you run into someone with an automatic weapon, if you can't get to cover fast it's pretty much over. Could just be the difficulty I'm playing on though :hmm:

Damn I dont want to open my Post Pandemic edition now.
People are paying more for the statue than the sealed set preordered for!

Doh! Nm

Nice, i'm a little jelly, the goodies in that edition are cool.

Yeah its about 4 times bigger than I expected. The statue is apparently packed in two HUGE blocks of styrofoam.

Two best reasons to have a PS3 this year:

Now I just need to patiently wait for Friday and play uninterrupted over the weekend in darkness and with headphones.

Headphones ruin the game IMO. It has lossless LPCM 7.1

Anyone else run into the problem where sometimes voices will cut off but you can see the subtitles? I just had one scene where clearly Joel was saying something but there was no sound nor subtitles.

just played for like 2.5 hours, i like 3 hours total in. while i think it is a great game, i don't think it is the greatest game ever like people are making it out to be. it has some very intense moments and stuff though, and so far the story is kinda neat, but to me it doesn't have that "i can't put it down" feel to it. like after 2 hours now i kinda just didn't feel like playing it anymore. it wasn't hard for me to put down. i just expected it to be a little different and keeping me from wanting to put the controller down.

but definitely a great game and feels a lot like uncharted control wise, but a little tighter since it isn't as fast paced. i like the parts you gotta kinda creep around the clickers, very intense parts.

How far did you get? There is a point where things get really good and the story starts getting even better IMO.

A lot of us posted similar things when we were playing. The game continues to get better and better. The beginning is the weakest part of the game imo

well that is reassuring. i mean i'm going to definitely complete it so it isn't like i'm dropping it or anything. the game is still a great game. just so far, it's not this masterpiece that it has been made out to be. not yet at least.

i will say though i really like the chemistry and relationships between the characters. definitely reminds me of the same thing that they had going on with uncharted. like, i actually care about the characters.

it kind of reminds me how in tomb raider i didn't give a crap about any of the other people who were in lara's group. but in uncharted games, sully and the supporting cast you always root for. same in this game, i like all the characters so far.

cutscenes are amazing though. really like the style/graphics in them.

If you read my posts in this thread. I started off saying the same things, then after playing more I was like wow. That seems to be the trend for everyone with this game. It builds up your emotional attachment to the characters without you realizing it. I didn't realize how much I cared till the last playable part when I was like woah.

cool, yeah i've not really came to this thread since the game came out because i don't wanna read any spoilers or anything.

 

[cmdrdredd]

I just finished the game, blasted throgh the last portion today. No spoilers, just random comments.

The ending caught me by surprise in a way. I knew something was up, but still had doubts about the direction the story was going. Those were erased in the last 30minutes or so.

IMO a perfect ending to a fantastic story. Definitely one of the top games in a long time for me.

I kinda felt the same way initially but then last night I stayed up all night and went from leaving Pittsburgh -> The End. Which was like a 10-11 hour stretch.

I finished the whole game last weekend in two 8-9 hour sessions. I just couldn't put the game down. Easily one of the best games of this generation. I loved everything about the game. The story, the characters, the controls, the scavenging and crafting. I love that all the crafting happens in real time to. Every single encounter feels so intense, and they do an amazing job of making you feel connected to the violence, unlike a lot of action games where you slaughter 1000 dudes and don't feel a thing about it (like Max Payne 3, COD, etc.)

I'm only about 6hrs in and yes the beginning was slow but it's getting much much better.

anyone finish it and do a new game +

im curious what it is
