feckin gamestop in stephens green still out of stock for this game

Stereomaniac · 27-06-2013 10:50PM

I think I'm going to have to pick up a copy of this when I get some more cash together now.

Mr.Prodston · 28-06-2013 12:11AM

@Timmyctc: That was some of the worst lagging I'd ever experienced

My connection is very up and down though, was doing grand the last few times I'd played it. When it happens I tend to play survivors and craft a bomb hole up in a room and place it at the door. If I'm going down somebody else is going with me :pac:

Hopefully we'll have a better bash some other night. I saw you get brutally battered and I was frozen (not just with fear) in the corner unable to look away :eek: :pac:

Though if it does happen it won't be following the story line of the fireflies and finding a cure.

Ellie as the main protagonist. Joel as the main antagonist. You heard it here first. Making that up, of course.

Plenty of copies on adverts lads, not sure why people are waiting for Gamestop to get stock in.

Xtravision told me this was only a while stocks last offer..

finished it last night at 3am, wow, took a while but it really does get in on you, never cared as much for a character in a game before! Have my copy with unused pre-order dlc on adverts now.

I just abit into the woods part of the game (where after the capitol building level) and while i really enjoyed the start of game I finding myself getting abit bored with the game at this point, just finding it abit repetitive at the moment searching and sneaking around buildings and making my way from A TO B with occassional conflicts .

I love the graphics and the tense atmosphere the game offers but does the game pick up in later stages? There being limited dialogue between joel and girl for a good bit in the game now and cut scene are very short so kinda seems hard to care too much about characters at this stage.. not looking for any spoilers just wondering if anyone felt the same at this point or sud i just stick with game as it will pick up?

Yes, the game picks up around this part. Its a bit slow at the beginning.

viper006 · 28-06-2013 10:32AM

Cheers, thought as much , il def stick with it so.

I would honestly be saying yay if they announced that a sequel with Joel and Ellie is off the table.

Would be a nice trend to set for a massive AAA game.

Yeah I was inactive for too long, normally if I'm killed I can move again then.

I much prefer Survivors though as everything you do counts way more and it's a lot more tactical. Also if I do freeze the time's up before I can be ejected :pac: You were fairly well on fire alright though, although I know I'm not that good in a fair fight so I hang back and be as sneaky as possible

I agree. I think the game finished superbly and doesn't need a sequel. I'd love to see naughty dog do something completely different again for their next game.

Ah here, that should be probably spoilered out. I'm near the end and now know 2 things definitely won't happen

Pre-ordered it earlier today and just got a phone call from xtravision - they have my game...:D

Can't finish cooking/eating dinner quick enough.

Mister Man · 28-06-2013 04:52PM

Just picked the game up, and tried to redeem my online pass thing. Apparently, it's invalid. By any chance, does anyone have a code they aren't using? I can't even buy it from PSN. Very disappointing

Go back to the shop. They should sort you out.

Person really enjoys game. Cares about characters. Instantly sells it.

I will just never understand some people. :P

Rang them up already, and told me to contact either the game studio, or playstation themselves.

I wouldn't be having that. I had the same issue with a game not too long ago in Gamestop. And they had no issue printing a new code for me.

I sold mine for 50 euro. Bought it for 10 plus 2 crap games worth about 15. So I basically paid myself 25 euro to play the game of the year.

If I ever want to rebuy it in the future for 10-15 euro, all my saves are on my machine.

I have absolutely no sentimental value attached to the discs themselves, only the game and the save data.

sweetie · 28-06-2013 08:54PM

I'm not into mp or replaying games straightaway and have a massive backlog so I moved it on. Nice saving for someone who couldn't get it elsewhere and some funds for me. Win win!

Just watched World War z...man that had similar ideals to the last of us...
