Got the shíte kicked out of me trying to get into the high school, now I'm in with 3 bullets, no supplies and feck all health. It's great, but it's hard to be consistently stealthy when they force you to be offensive at times

Plus shiv doors! I know where they all are but I consciously have to either kill a clicker to get by, or try and save for a door so I can get ammo and supplies!

Still, I'm griping in a good way, like I'm enjoying the challenge at the same time.

Yeah, it's coming to it.

I thought David was a great character though, unexpectedly sick.

I've being avoiding conflict. Yesterday Ellie came over and gave me 3 rifle bullets. Was confused and then she gave me six shotgun bullets. Honestly she's now my fav game character ever.

Good craic online with keano and duffy. Very handy with mics as well. Just on week 1 Day 6 and picked a mission of downing 3 people with assault rifle..... Would be handy if I even had an assault rifle!! Won't unlock it for a while yet and then it's just a purchasable.

How do you get ranked? I just got a 1//.

Multiplayer is brilliant. Hard, but way more rewarding then usual cod shyte.

Sorry I couldn't tear myself from playing grounded mode. I'll defo play some multi tonight...after the pub

Its tough but if u die its your fault. Its always fair. The toughest part is that the checkpoints have been extended so if u die in certain sections you restart further back. I find if you use a combination of steath and gunplay you will get more ammo drops from dead enemies. Keep all your shivs for supply doors and upgrade ur aiming asap. Also be mindful of your health, if you go into a fist battle with low health you will get nailed. I try and use the food pick ups instead of waisting supplies making health kits. Molatovs are crucial for killing large hordes of infected. Throw a glass bottle first to gather a few together then peg a Molotov after.

richymcdermott · 03-08-2014 11:54am

Forgotten how much I enjoyed the multiplayer as I finished both hunter and survivour clan on ps3

Sadly my two day free trial is finished later today as I wont have money for ps plus for awhile

least I can play the singleplayer and dlc to one of if not my favourite games of last year

Redzer7 · 03-08-2014 12:01pm

Haven't played online yet but anybody who wants to add me PSN:Redzer7

_Redzer_ · 03-08-2014 3:42pm

Ah Christ, I keep remembering parts of the game that are gonna be a bitch to get by

Still loving it. Definitely would recommend hard if you've already played the game. Shakes things up a bit.

Klair88 · 03-08-2014 4:13pm

Making tracks in the SP but I'm on Week 11 of the Firefly MP Journey, Cant get enough of it.

MitchKoobski · 03-08-2014 4:56pm

Found the first clicker room easier than I remembered (the one in the skyscraper), but then I encountered the underground shopping mall/square thing after it. That took me a while because I wanted the extra stuff from the safe.

Redzer7 · 03-08-2014 6:24pm

Anyone online now for a game?

GavRedKing · 03-08-2014 6:25pm

Tipping along in my Survivor+ walkthrough - so far, so good.
Have just gotten to the hotel.

In the Gym against the

bloater, I threw a molotov at him and took care of the two runners, by the time I turned back to the bloater he was a pile of ashes.

No big problems so far - have plenty of equipment, very short on pistol ammo though.

Played through Left Behind, and it's really remarkable. Was caught off guard by how effective it was.

In many ways, it's even bolder than the main game - telling a character-driven story, and coming up with a lot of interesting, clever interactions to keep the player involved in the action. It's all pre-set, but it benefits from the consistency of characterisation and controlled drama that only author-driven stories can have.

It uses the flashback structure carefully to dive into Ellie's motivations and abilities, and makes fantastic use of editing to do so. The whole Ellie and Riley chapters are close to perfect - with no combat, the game instead focuses exclusively on a sense of discovery and adventure while exploring a poignant moment in a friendship.

The water fight was a stroke of genius, as was the photo booth, as was the joke book

- these are ways to keep the player in the game in original ways. I'd love to see Naughty Dog make a full game of that sort - I'm sure they have a whole host of similar ideas they could employ.

The Joel and Ellie section is more familiar, and sadly does build up towards a big combat section (although there's a few excellent moments where human and infected enemies fight each other, and you can use that to your advantage). But for the most part it's still very well told, urgent and interesting - using an existing scenario to really explore another side of a character.

Anyone who hasn't gotten around to it yet should definitely check it out, whether it's PS3 or PS4. It might be DLC, but there's some legitimately exciting experiments in there that Naughty Dog and others will hopefully experiment on. Perhaps more so than the main game, it suggests AAA developers could start stretching their narrative ambitions and use improved technology to tell some great stories.

Yeah, rub it in

It's not so bad now, I'm just getting smarter in how I approach things. Still you can easily feck up and alert everyone, wrecking your perfect stealth streak. I'm also trying to fight my temptation to kill everyone in the level, instead of just killing the minimum and sneaking by.

I'm in the hotel basement now. Christ. I know what's coming and I'm going to have to try and dodge the bloater... somehow

Apparently the old RUN FOR YOUR LIFE tactic works in all difficulties on that last part :P I never felt fear like the first time I turned on that generator..

Worked perfectly in my hard playthrough.

About to find out if it works on Survivor+.

Stop. I knew exactly what was going to happen the first time and I just stood there for ages looking at that fecking generator, too chicken shít to start it

I'm gonna try and leg it, but I have to find the key too. I can see myself having an aneurism darting around the place without a clue

It's hilarious seeing playthroughs of people playing that bit the first time and their reactions to it! :pac:

Worked on Survivor playthrough, just about - had a sliver of health as I went through the door and one of the

bloaters "bombs"

landed behind me.

Just type spoiler in [ ] and /spoiler in [ ]

Might pick it up tomorrow. I've already played through it twice on PS3, is it worth getting on PS4? Is it that big an upgrade visually?
