The Last of Us

[NeoCracker]

ooh god, what have i started??
playing stealth is just really not my thing!!
even though it looks great and i do really enjoy the game.. im sort of stuck already :l

i just picked up Ellie and i am in a big building where i 'volunteer' to go ahead and check it out.
i jump down and there are a bunch of 'sprinters' and a 'clicker'...
i keep getting caught by a sprinter and im about to lose my patience!!

if ypu have any tips, tricks or hints feel free to tell me!!



and once that is over: lets discus this game!!

Move very, very slowly.

Use your hearing sense to find out where everyone is laid out, then make a plan of which to take out in what order, then just sneak behind them and take them out one by one before finally taking down the clicker in whatever way you want (other than grabbing, because wasting a shiv on a lone clicker isn't worth it)

thats where everything go's wrong.. i do hear them and make a plan. but nomather what i do it always backfires.
ive made it though.. with some luck! managed to beat the crap out of 3 of those infected.... somehow


and ty for redirecting my post already thought it was weird that there was no topic on this game.. but now i see i was in the wrong section :P

Don't make long term plans. They will never work cause the AI doesn't always follow the same paths.

Plan for the elimination of 1-2 enemies at a time, no more. (Unless you can Molotov or bomb more at once. )

Crafting Speed is a near worthless skill to raise with your points.

For that matter, on hard at least, so is Health. If you get caught in a situation you don't have time to use a health kit before dying, or get caught in a group, your dead regardless of those skills.

Sight and Weapon spray are your two best abilities. Followed up by Shiv Master.

There are the tips that guide my murder.

Well I finished it!

(SPOILER)Yet another one of those games which is stunningly perfect and then brutally ruined in the last 5 minutes. That was the most anticlimactic ending I could have thought of for that game.. After playing the whole game which invoked plenty of emotions I was waiting to have my heart wrenched out, but that left me feeling nothing :[

Just beat it too!

(SPOILER)I thought the end was great... Kind of.

What got me was the Fireflys had been doing this for a while, and made no progress, yet kept at it. (Mind you, it could have been a lie from Joel, but at the same time it makes more sense that he was telling the truth. I mean they discovered the mutation and plan pretty god damn fast, and decided to operate that soon? They had to have done this before.)

What kind of kills the ending a bit though was that no one took any kind of believable action. Hey, there's a guy trying to resusitate a girl! Let's knock him out.

Hey, there is girl I've practically raised as a sister/daughter! Let's sacrifice her to research that has consistantly failed horribley!

Hey, there's the guy who just gunned down god knows how many of our men! How about I not take this clean shot at his face!

Also, AI in the last area was an an all time bad. I have no Idea what the hell happened, but I Molotov'ed a guy, no one reacted. I strangled a guy in front of like, two other dudes, got spotted, stepped behind cover and they immidiately lost me. In fact I was immidiately lost like, three times.

Really, once you get past the Winter section, AI seems to trout itself. I wasn't even trying to abuse it either, just kind of happened.

I was going to give the game a 9/10, but between later game AI issues, and some issues I brought up in the end game spoilers, it gets an 8.

Still, definately worth the full price, and dear god is Winter awesome. I can see why people would overlook the flaws and rate the game higher then me mind you, cause what this game does well, it does really damn well. And the biggest issue, the AI bugging out, doesn't really seem to happen all that often until the end, at least for me.
