Just pick up a bottle, throw it at a wall and sneak past them. You’re not too far off finishing it, the last part is a real challenge though

Thanks. Don't think I have the save file any more so it would be a new play through. After playing Resident Evil 3 over the weekend I might just start it again.

Lads, is there a way to grab this on launch day that doesn't necessitate downloading it from PS Store?

I suppose it was seeing as I started in 2014 The multiplayer trophies were a slog, those 2 took me the longest as I would dip in and out of it over the years. Other than that, it was following a guide to make sure you don't miss items and Survivor mode which was tough but really good.

There is but it requires using some of the skills you picked up from the 1st game.

Finished my playthrough of the first one the other night. It's still a pretty good game. But, yeh, it's a cover based shooter with stealth mechanics. Spotted throughout are a few simple quicktime events (hit square or triangle to break free of something) and there are a couple of mild puzzles here and there too. But it isn't anything anybody hasn't seen well before and after the game was made. So, it doesn't win anything in that dept.

What hooks the player, though, is the story and the believability of the characters, of which there was obviously a lot of time and effort put into.

I probably won't be playing the second game (or third if you count the DLC for 'The Last of Us'), if it doesn't make an appearance on the PC. If it does, I'll wait and see what the reactions are when it's actually out. I'm certainly not buying a PS4 just to play it, that's for sure.

However, I did have a look at a few vids concerning the meltdown about where Part 2 is going and if certain playing choices are true, then some of the people losing their shit over it may have a point, even if it's stupidly made.

For a portion of the game you play as some beefed up man or woman antagonist who kills Joel.

, which if true is a remarkably dumb direction for Naughty Dog to go in, especially when

people were so drawn to Joel and Ellie in the first game.

Yeah that's just it. People out here arguing because they actually think this is all over some SJW s**t when it has nothing to do with that at all.

I was trying to think how I could descibe it without spoiling anything and the closest I got was this:

Remember, years ago, when you liked The Walking Dead?.....

You know how you feel about The Walking Dead now and why?

That. That's it.

People are legit worried that they've gone down this road of making snuff gore misery porn just for the sake of it and easy shock value. As opposed to the well done storyline they were known for.

Now they might indeed pull it off, I'm not saying they won't. But once you go too hard down that road it's hard to bring it back.

Wait wait wait.... So you're saying the game starts out good but then they end up at a farm where the characters don't do much and the whole thing becomes ****?

People really shouldn't try to explain it. You'll spoil it for someone inadvertently.

Let them experience in all its "glory".

That's actually how the first game ended though isn't it! :pac:

Well done son, well done. I'd have a coronary playing that on the hardest setting.

That pretty much sums up my concerns for it.

You can jump, go prone and dodge. I thought the dodge bits from the trailer were mini scripted bits, nice to know it's actual gameplay, nice flow to to it.

You'd swear they invented it all the way they go on.

J. Marston

Jumping, crawling and dodging?

This is a bold new direction for videogames.

Jump button? Pre ordered

mutley18

Where are you all pre-ordering from? For physical copy I mean, thanks!

Stone Deaf 4evr

I read the leaks as TBH, it doesnt bother me for the most part, I'll still give the game a look when the trade in copies start to hit cex, but the amount of apes out there posting spoilers is very annoying. Was watching a Call of Duty livestream last night and before I got a chance to turn off the chat, there was at least 4 posts giving details. Some very sad individuals out there.

Retr0gamer

If it's what I think it is it really isn't anything to get excited about. And it really doesn't warrant the ridiculous response from people over it.

Robert ninja

The only ridiculous response is the borderline illegal one coming from Sony, NG.

Ah yes, ‘borderline illegal’ - or, in other words, not illegal.

J. Marston

Calling people bootlickers and dickriders is a great way to open discourse.

Discussing footage unreleased to the public with said footage is not covered under fair use so is well under the remit of a DCMA takedown.

Robert ninja

They strike people who have not used any copyrighted content: https://youtu.be/ScpPzFQRG7o But have fun continuing to defend a corporation, with a net worth close to $75 billion, from being able disrupt conversations they don't like at a whim.

They are still discussing unreleased footage under copyright. Still not a very strong case to argue fair use.

Zero-Cool

Are they angry because they can't practice their freedom of speech and rant about how much they hate the game?

Robert ninja

No footage used. They can discuss the leaks all they want which is mainstream news FYI.
