Yes. It's brutal and unforgiving. The part where
you get swarmed at the top of the elevator whilst waiting for the door to unlock
Not a spoiler really...but better safe than sorry, lol.

how long is this game on an average player playthrough?
13 hours was my first playthrough. That was on hard though.

On normal I'd say about 10hrs possibly more

It says 22 hours for 'Completionist' which is almost bang on for me at 21 hours 44 minutes on my first playthrough.
Are you talking about
in the basement of the hotel? Cause if so, that was so easy on base-game hardest. Cause the fact you can just get all the supplies before clickers appear from the generator.
Took me about 20 hours the first time.
Care to share?
It's a bit harder than Survivor. I felt like I had to manage my supplies a lot more. The only parts I really struggled with is when
you're alone with Sam in the Sewers and when you're with Henry at the end waiting for the door to open.
Sneaking and not blowing through your ammo during some of the more open conflicts is the way to go.

Took me about 18 hours, I even rushed through some parts.
I had to leave for a business trip and I wanted to finish before I left.
Took me 16 hours. Found a decent amount of stuff but not nearly everything.

Nah, not the basement section, the section where
you and Henry get chased up the stairs of a broken elevator, then get swarmed at the top in a small room, while you wait for Ellie & Sam to open the door so you can get out
15-20 hours, I'd say. It always lands around there for me, and I played the campaign at least 6 times by now lol
Yeah, that's frustrating.
I ended up throwing all my good stuff and running around through the doorways till it opened. What I had done on Survivor was throw a smoke bomb after the first wave. That seemed to buy a lot of time for the door to open.
Game gets really intense on Grounded.

I haven't returned to multiplayer since...maybe last summer or fall. All the issues have been of the game's framework and the campaign.
So far:
- Game takes several minutes to go from start up to where the logo pops up in the lower right corner.
- Another several minutes from there to the warning and start menu.
- Campaign takes a long time to load.
- Some parts become jittery/jumpy, such as when Joel
in the beginning.and his family get into the car
- Dialogue audio isn't synced up with animation anymore. About a second to two second lag.
I lost patience with all the issues. All the DLC is downloaded, and I'm on a 500GB White. I haven't played since before Left Behind was released, and was on an 80GB 'Fat' system. I'll try uninstalling the game data and reinstalling, but it's odd how the game is now behaving.

Sheesh, good thing I didn't dive into the campaign again. Holding out to play it on the PS4, just wanted to make sure I still enjoyed the multiplayer.
I have a phat 80gb as well (from the MGS4 bundle back in '09) and it screams whenever I play TLoU--looking forward to playing it on a system that doesn't weep during playback.
Yeah, I'm gonna create a new one nearer the time I think if no one has any objections.

Great idea! We are going to have a lot of new players to the multiplayer, as well as people jumping back in who moved on from the ps3, so a new thread would be welcome. I had so many great times playing with gaffers.
Game always took a log time to load but the jittery animation was know to be cause by a bluray drive starting to fail as all the animation data is stored on the second layer of the disc

I hope to see a big GAF presence in the MP side of things. I hear a lot of good things about it being similar to Gears of War 1 in a lot of ways.
Any ex Gear Heads picking this up feel free to PSN add me away for this.

Just add a message that says "gaf" and I'll auto add.

It's really great. I never played the series but I heard many favorable comparisons to SOCOM. It's slow and tactical.

Had the very same system in order to finally dive into the MGS series, and was a bit sad to retire it once I could no longer make room for new releases.
Hopefully the issue lies with corruption upon data transfer between the two models.
It did, but everything is far more pronounced though. What once was a minute to a few in loading is now nearly 5-10 minutes. Same with animations, and never had issues with the audio synch. Seems to be a fairly common issue after the Grounded DLC/patch 1.6/7 though from what I'm seeing in various communities. Hopefully reinstalling will solve the issue.
By any chance were you a Gearheads of War member?

TLOU's Factions (save for a few imbalances) is one of the freshest and most underrated multiplayer experiences in recent years.
Best when played with friends, immensely tactical, and has terrific core gameplay. If it had more gametypes and spectator mode it'd be near-perfect IMO.
It definitely has elements of Gears, SOCOM, and even Splinter Cell, but to me it feels sufficiently original.
If you somehow missed it on PS3, do yourself a favor and get Remastered.
Also stay on the lookout for a big tourney in August!

Aside from how easy it was to screw yourself over early on in Factions to make winning impossible in the end, I really enjoyed the multiplayer before the problems introduced around the time of Interrogations release.
Hopefully the mp will be populated fairly well when Remastered is released.

Haha what upsets me most about matchmaking is the fact that I still get party split on a regular basis (same as UC3, same as UC2). Wish they'd fix that. And as a rule of thumb I wish there was some kind of penalty for quitting.
Apocalypse was just the beginning.

Check out these PS4 graphics!
Actually they're real pictures of abandoned malls but it reminded me of Left Behind

Weird that so close to release, we haven't seen any gameplay footage.
I do think it will look glorious though AND be 60 fps. I feel like Naughty Dog are really taking this seriously.
Well, they aren't exactly going to be taking a half-assed approach for sure.

ND is not one to hype their games on any media but recently we've seen tweets from their programmers about how hard they're working on the game and what not, I feel rather worried about it since I love the game so much but there's nothing else we can do but waitWeird that so close to release, we haven't seen any gameplay footage.

Why would people saying they're working hard on it make you worried?

Same here, played on hard and it took me about 18 hours.

I completely skipped it on PS3 so I'm looking forward to this. I watched some videos of it recently for the first time and it definitely looks right up my alley.
If they're so confident on the product how come we haven't seen absolutely no gameplay at all? That's what has my worried
Maybe they'd rather spend time finishing the game than preparing a gameplay demonstration. You can always hold off for a few days to see how the game handles in the hands of consumers before jumping in.

Mah man.
Didn't know you had an account. Thought you just lurked
I mostly do, but I can't help but post for certain games--TLOU most certainly being one of them.
Probably because all footage needs to go through Sony PR and it's an even bigger pain if you want to put out 60fps footage. It sounds like there's just an handful of programmers working on the game, they'll just want to focus on getting it done.

Why do people keep asking for TLOU gameplay? Its the same as it was on PS3 only prettier and 60 frizames
To verify it's actually running at 60fps.

You are on the last level. Depending on the difficulty setting you probably have between twenty minutes and an hour left.

Oh god...that's the hardest part of the entire game for me personally. On my Survivor playthrough, I made damn sure I was well equipped with everything you could think of before reaching that point. It's gonna piss me the fuck off when I finally play it on grounded.
I can't wait.
