Finally i can get on and talk about this awesome game some more.
I beat the game a couple days ago and yea 9.7/10!!!
I loved every minute of this game. Joel is like just pure fucking hardcore and again Ellie might be the best AI ever in a game. From telling me where peeps are to stabbing ninjas in the back.
I was so submerged in the story when it ended I was like WTF!!! no more shotty to the face? I can honestly say that this was one of the best gaming experiences that I have ever had.
A couple parts I had to run, you guys are nice if you had tons of supplies etc cause during my run i had just enough to clear certain parts. I remembering reading that sometimes you have to decide between crafting that medikit or that molotov and I figured oh that wont be me ill always heal, yea right when I found myself with a couple of bullets left fighting a bloater and it was heal and die later or empty the clip then burn that fucker!!!
Then I thought hmmm what would Joel do? yep empty the clip no second thought and burn that fucker!!! Just want I did.
w/o spoilers what was every body’s fav part or locale? Mine was prolly the University.
The University, The Ellie chapter, The story progression!! I was legitimately scared at the boss fight vs David (was that his name again?) and the Joel looking for Ellie like some sort of Dad sense-tingling. That part of the game was hype!
I wonder though, for the guys playing the game on Survivor (if you got that far), how did you do the Ellie boss fight in the restaurant??? I literally used listen mode for nearly that entire fight.
Finished this last night, it was incredible. Clocked in at 14 hours 33 minutes on normal. Let me get this straight, to get the platinum trophy you have to beat surviviors raw and in new game+? How the hell am I gonna beat suriviors without being fully upgarded lol.
Gonna mess around with story mode a bit more and will finally start MP either tonight or tomorrow.
I finally beat the game (forgot to post my stats earlier).
My final time came out to be 22 hours and 23 minutes. This shit is so awesome. I’m gonna platinum the shit outta this game!! Time to die in survivor mode.
Another question though, how many “manuals” are there? The shiv/molotov/smoke bomb/health upgrades.
I just started survivor mode this weekend and Im about midway through the game now. Its not as bad as i thought it would be. Things you need to keep in mind.
No listening mode (i dont even notice need this anymore, way more intense)
extremely limited crafting items (i was only able to craft 3 health kits, 3 shivs up to this point, 2 nail bomb. Health kit can be changed to Molotov)
upgraded both holster, +1 draw speed and range on bow, +1 on clip size for handgun, and only 83 parts left (that gives u idea how many parts there is). I regret getting the extra holster for the hand guns, it really isnt needed
Limited ammo
Tips for anyone going for survivor modes
brick is your friend
Be calm and patient, you’ll die a few time just to get familiar with area and where the enemies are.
save your ammo and crafts as much as possible, use whatever means to get by. Brick, pipe, and choke to kill the enemy IF YOU HAVE TO. Its better to just stealth your way through as much as possible, even running to the next check point if you can. Make good use of bottle to direct enemy’s attention
I also would advise restarting to the last encounter if you felt you wasted too much ammo or you lost too much health
Finally, your life bar will be fill up once you got through an entire chapter/area, so dont waste a medical kit if your nearing the end of the outskirts chapter for example
