The Last Of Us

Regarding the comments about difficulty - I played on normal setting and found it challenging enough, certainly 'felt' right to me in terms of damage you have to deal. Died a LOT finding best ways to kill groups of enemies, particularly clickers! I agree with other posters above regarding higher difficulty and the amount of damage it takes to kill an enemy - it would feel wrong in my opinion, but each to their own.

Completely agree with those about listen mode etc - if you want to make it more challenging then switch it off, way more intense. I would do the same for game hints and tips too, as it does spoil it a bit having things pointed out that you ought to have to figure out yourself. Finally, switch off melee prompts as well if you really wanna go all out.

Promo doesn't contain an online code so haven't been able to try multiplayer.

Was so impressed with this I've grabbed a copy of Uncharted 3 to try, hopefully it's good too!

Enjoy it guys, you won't be disappointed. Don't forget to play with the lights off and the volume up! :D

Nice, thanks for the info! Normal it is then, I'll keep Hard mode for my second play through in a year or so.

Regarding the hints/tips, are those just on-screen stuff or is it a case of the characters pointing things out? If it's the latter I'd rather leave it on as I like the extra dialogue, but if it's just "You're supposed to do this" coming up on the screen, I'll probably disable it. Listen Mode is definitely going off though.

If you're going with Uncharted, I'd really recommend starting at beginning. You'll really like them I think, so it makes sense to play them in order. The third game is great, 2nd one is better, 1st one is the poorest of the three but it's still good fun and it's nice seeing how the games progressed and advanced from that.

Yeah it's just on-screen stuff, there is a pinging sound and L3 will show up in the corner. Pressing that then shows you what it's pointing out. Thinking about it, you could leave it on and just not press L3, as sometimes the hint is to tie in with what a character says, like point out a destination in the distance. That might be better actually.

The characters do say stuff sometimes, but that is just part and parcel and like yourself, I like the extra dialogue anyway.

Thanks for the tip about Uncharted!
 
Did you recall how long the game was in the end and was it anywhere close to what ND mentioned? Cant remember what they said though!

Just looked at my gametime on my completed save - 22 hours, 47 minutes. I quite enjoy exploring and looking in every room, every corner etc. for supplies however, so that may have a bearing on it. I don't really like blasting through games, prefer to take my time.
 
Now thats a great length - thanks for that, Ill be a lot longer, I have to look at every corner twice from different directions :(. Game OCD!

ps3ud0 :cool:
 
Haha! Well even with that gametime and searching I still only found about half the pendants, collectibles etc, so plenty of room for some OCD-like behaviour! ;)
 
That's good to hear, Uncharted are the only games I've gone for plat trophies for, and will have to do it for this one as well.
 
I haven't even watched any footage of this game other than last year's E3 footage. Really loved the book of The Road so I'm happy to hear it's very mature and dark.

I don't mind if it's raining this weekend, the wife won't drag me away from the tv.
 
Wonder how many people will be online, it'll be like the exclusive club!

I have three more days to finish Uncharted 3, think I can probably manage that...
 
Ill be on the MP in a weeks time after it out I suspect, going to make sure to enjoy the SP fully before I delve into what will always be a shallower MP experience

Ive very much moved from MP to SP this generation, tired of endlessly killing randoms for little reason...

Just ordered from Tesco with God of War - Ascension for £42. Absolute bargain. Really hope they deliver for Friday. Any idea what courier they use?

My GOW:A came by royal mail. I got pretty much the same deal. GOW:A was a good game, bit button mashy but great visuals and comes with a demo of last of us.

I hope they get my order to me this friday as well.

I'd like to know this too, no one's going to be home on Friday and I can't change my delivery address now, so would like to find out which depot I'll have to go and collect it from (may need to take the day off work to get it if they use anyone but the Royal Fail).
 
I doubt it's a courier, it'll be be Royal Mail.

I'm expecting mine to arrive on Saturday to be honest, I always seem to get screwed over when I'm waiting for something I really want!
 
Ah they are letterbox people? I like Royal Mail. So, will GOW come separately or will they send the 2 in the same package?
