Cookyman Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I might get the map pack considering how I dive into the multiplayer every now and then. . Do it the maps are really good. Then I won't be the only person on here on here who's bought them - I thought Rez would be all over multiplayer but I've never seen him on it.
flameboy Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I'm gonna be honest sometimes I don't want multiple endings....I wanna see a story done through to completion I feel sometimes it can have a greater emotional impact and that is certainly how I with Last of Us....and other examples as Assasins' Creed 3 was reaching it's climax I was like please don't make me choose that's dumb...
dwarf Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 I got them day 1 Cooks, they're decent. Problem is you get pitted against clans and people with monstrous skill in every game - I haven't once seen your name crop up on the opposition team I'm not surprised Rez prefers Unch, I do as well. That tense feeling I used to get when playing it has faded into frustration, it feels like cheap tactics can win out over cautious play quite frequently. Too much time is spent picking up and crafting items and crawling around slowly between areas of the map, where you're not really exercising much in the way of choice or skill . I enjoy it, I just take more to the frantic Unch style of competition.

Depends who you play with mate - I've played with a bunch of friends against groups who's rankings are in there hundreds and we've beaten them. The new maps are excellent I think as they encourage in a lot of cases - close quarters combat and add some more verticality to multiplayer too. If you have a team who are all mic'd up I think you have a huge adavantage.
dwarf Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah I suppose you're right. Had an incredible match on Bookstore though where my random team was paired against a clan, we were getting dicked for half the match until we all tacitly decided to hold out on the top floor. We made the comeback of the season. Unfortunately that map only rarely crops up.
Cookyman Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Interesting..... The Last Of Us story DLC has been a piece of gaming content that many have been waiting on, with various teases appearing over the last few months. Now Geoff Keighley of GTTV has tweeted that Naughty Dog will be revealing details of what the DLC will hold at the PS4 All Access Event this week. It’s interesting that even though details of the DLC will be welcomed they will be revealed at a PS4 focused event. It’s easy to jump to conclusions and think this could be a clue to The Last Of Us releasing on PS4, though that has been denied by Naughty Dog. It’s more likely that even though the PS4 and its games will be the centre piece of the event, Sony will still be showcasing the strengths of the PS3 and the continued support of the console, which is where The Last Of Us DLC comes in.
bryanee Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 DLC teaser I wasn't expecting this. Glad they didn't do the Ish story.
Cube Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Not sure what I think of this. I was hoping that the DLC would stay clear of the characters in the main game.
Tales Posted November 15, 2013 Posted November 15, 2013 Sweet! Its a prequel right? Yeah, I remember Ellie talking about sneaking into a mall and I think it's featured in the comic as well. Looking forward to any single player dlc, but I'm a bit sceptical to a prequel. Day one buy anyway though.
dazzybee Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 So I started this, the opening was just incredible. Then it went 20 years into the future and became horrifically generic, the boring cover and shoot gameplay from uncharted... lost all enthusiasm to keep playing. Played it again last night and found the young girl so I guess it's about to kick in, but I'm going to leave it, I have a horrifically small tele with disastrous sound in Paris so going to wait til i come back home in april and play it on a huge tele in surround sound. But I presume the game infinitely better? How much of this cover and shoot gameplay is there because I find it incredibly dull.

But I presume the game infinitely better? How much of this cover and shoot gameplay is there because I find it incredibly dull. The game certainly does get better. It plays more like a stealth game than a run and gun though. Whether or not you enjoy it will come from whether or not you get hooked on the story and characters. At least this that's what it was like for me. I loved the story, characters, setting but found the gameplay to be a bit flat.
Sheikah Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 From what I remember, shooting anything non human resulted in them all raping you. I think stealth (+crafting) was usually a better way or doing it.
dazzybee Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Ah okay, I don't want to get raped Though seeing the girl.... Maybe it was just the opening sections. I'm usually AWFUL at stealth games (Metal Gear, Splinter Cell etc) and always end up in gun fights... If the game is anything like that opening I'm sure it'll be incredible though, but was just surprised at how Unchartedy the action was.
Sheikah Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Ah okay, I don't want to get raped Though seeing the girl.... She's 14 But that never stopped ReZ.
Sméagol Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Actually Ellie´s voice actress is pretty cute. I saw her in Joss Whedon´s Much ado about nothing.
Daft Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If you don't like the first couple hours, don't bother with the rest. You'll just be waiting your time. The game builds from beginning to end. If you don't like it now, you aren't going to like it later.
dazzybee Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 So it is just generic cover and shoot gameplay and not like the opening sequence?
Cube Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 So it is just generic cover and shoot gameplay and not like the opening sequence? Out of interest, have you reached the clickers (outside the protected area of the city)? That's when you get your first taste at the full gameplay.
dazzybee Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Out of interest, have you reached the clickers (outside the protected area of the city)? That's when you get your first taste at the full gameplay. No, I've just got to the girl and I'm taking her to meet the other woman in the tunnel. So still early. Literally just got to the girl
Goafer Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I'd say that the gameplay is more like a tactical stealth game than a generic shooter. The game gets harder later on and just going in shooting isn't a valid tactic. You have to figure out how best to utilise the items you pick up along the way to take out as many as possible, before resorting to some pretty claustrophobic shooting. There are straight shooting bits once in a while, but they break up the pace nicely IMO. The way I'd clear areas back when I played it: Stay hidden enough to figure out who was around, figure out how I could take out as many of the infected without getting spotted/hurt, find the best place to carry out the plan, then mop up any stragglers afterwards (which was often more than I bargained for). I'd say stick with it until you have a few experiences with the infected, then decide whether or not to carry on.
Magnus Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 The way I played the game: attempt stealth, fail, kill everyone.
dazzybee Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Cheers @Goafer I'm definitely going to stick with it. I find the gameplay a bit dull in the shooting sections, but I did with Uncharted and I loved them. I have no doubt I'll love it, just surprised if a lot of the gameplay was like this. And @Magnus That's exactly what I think I'll do - same with Metal Gear, Splinter Cell, Batman, anything I need to be stealthy!
