Well, decreasing the down period yourself sounds like a good improvement, at least. Sometimes in TLOU, it gets a bit frustrating when your enemies won't execute you and you know for sure that your partners won't reach you.Nope. But once you are down you can run down the health meter yourself by holding down x or whatever it was or wait to be revived. One thing that I wish last of us had. I hate just crawling around waiting to be executed or revived.
