Working my way through the SP at the minute. Had previously borrowed a PS3 to play this, but Jesus it's so good it's ridiculous. It's laugh-out-loud funny in parts (
Ellie with the magazine, Frank's note to Bill
), it's sad, it's beautiful (can't wait until I see the
giraffes
in their 60fps glory), it's violent and scary. It just has everything.

Looking forward to playing a bit of MP to see what it's like, might grab a few of yer gamertags later and add ye if ye don't mind..... mine is Frankie5_Angels

I'm just after arriving at the Hotel, where you have to

start the genrator in the basement and run like hell or stand and fight

even though I know its coming I'll still get a brown pants moment during this sequence.

Hey it's a post-apocalyptic world. We just did what we had to do to survive!

After being caught by it twice we resorted to the same tactic, any molotov or bomb and we were done for, weirdly that session finished 3-3 with no deciding game so we're taking the moral victory. :pac:

Ya, I took a beating in the following few MP games in survival afterwards trying get used to the gun again.

My mic was fairly cack and sorry for blasting ye when ye were using the bows for the first 1/2 games.

Also the camping in the Suburbs map was like a game of COD :pac:

I might pop on for a game or two later - played MP for the first time the other night so probably need some practice

I've to clear The Left Behind on Survivor and complete the trophy set after work, should be online after 9pm I'd reckon.

kensutz

I guess I better put a sig back on my profile

I'll be on around 7:30-8:30 depending on when I get back home from a cycle.

Had a good laugh last night with a few of the lads playing with bows and on stealth mode.

Legolas I am not.

Edit : I've also added my PSN to my Sig if anyone wants to add me.

Really don't need to conserve ammo either. Ellie gave me three rifle bullets and then came straight over and gave me 6 shotgun bullets.

I finished it on hard over the weekend. Turned off batman vision too. Made it a lot more immersive.
One oddity though; I managed to 1 hit kill a bloater at

the attack at the mine with David

by headshotting him with the rifle.
Was surprised (and delighted) to see him go down.

If they don't move though, they aren't a stalker afair?

EDIT:
You're right actually. There's only two times you encounter them in the game though. There and the basement. I was under the impression you fought them
in the tunnel at the end of the game
too but apparently not

They're walking around in

the sewers

too. I found out the hard way!

Played the hell out of this over the weekend.
Cleared Survivor. Got stuck in the bit with David/the cabin/the bloater. Had almost no health just died over n over again. Started a new game on normal in frustration and murdered the ba**ards. Then went back to Survivor and realised I had a med pack "God alcohol makes me stupid"

Playing through Survivor plus now and flying through it. Not sure about grounded.

The bit when
you're running through the hospital carrying Ellie
oh my god the feels

Girraffes rock

Spoilers!

I've been playing on hard and I've been creeping up on moving clickers and runners without a bother. You have to follow them slowly and crouched until they stop every now and again to flail their arms. You catch up at these points.

On most difficulties if you're moving fast enough to catch up, you're moving fast enough to be heard.

No you can, easily. You just have to crouch and be very slow and quiet.

Had a great game there in factions. Our team destroyed them. Got 11 downs, so I was happy.

Do you mean stalkers, the ones with the slight growth on their heads? If so, they're almost impossible to sneak up on.

Great craic tonight.

Clickers? ... They're not impossible you just have to creep up

No I mean stalkers, the stage between runners and clickers. People mix up stalkers and runners because stalkers are almost always running and runners are not.

I started out on grounded and I've just cleared the

hotel basement

so it should be pretty easy going now until the

sewers

For runners just make sure you turn off your flashlight. Clickers can't see, runners and humans will spot it a mile off
