Captain's Log, day 9 of 7.
Seeing the number of empty bottles lying around everywhere, it's clear that pandemics lead to excessive consumption (extra teh tube).
Just upgraded the fire rate of my pistol using a pair of toe nail clippers.
Bye Tess. We'll always have Paris. Or Boston. Or wherever.
To be continued....
I never understood why there were so many bottles and bricks until I played the hardest mode.
Talk to me, goose. What am I missing here?
Do you toss the bottles/bricks at the enemy?
So far I've only used them to disable booby (extra Cobey) traps.
You can smash them over the enemies head. Even ones like the clickers that kill you when they reach you. You never have much ammo in that mode so you run around finding bricks and smashing them over the enemies a lot.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

I think it's to create a distraction so you can run past them/alerts them to where you are if you stumble over them.
And to the comment above, that hotel basement.... Eugh.
I "experienced" the Pittsburgh hotel basement yesterday.
JFC!!!
After several unsuccessful attempts to take out the entire group, I decided to alter my strategy, put on my sneakers (extra Puma, RIP) and just RUN!
Gotdamn stalkers!
Yup. I think everyone eventually decides that course of action.

Folks - I just figured out 'the bashing someone's brains out' trick with a brick.
Mang, I feel like I want to start the game over. I've missed out on a lot of lost opportunities.
I suffocated a guy yesterday with a paper cup from starbucks. The stalkers in the sewers stood no chance.
Moar to come. Stay tuned.
Its totally a good time too.

I almost always start games over once I get a feel for them for reasons just like that.
I suspect I’ll play this one over once I’m done.
I found a flamethrower, froobs.
Will be saving it for winter.

I think you lose everything at winter dont you?

Right. The entire winter segment kicked ass.
You play as Ellie, who kills people by throwing snowballs at their heads.
I like that she runs like Mandy.
(I've arrived at Utah now. Need a drink.)
Agreed. I hated winter the first time through but by thev4th or 5th time I beat that game it was my favorite area.

Game over, mang.
Game over.
(I guess there's a side story next - Left Behind. Hopefully moar bricks around for mashing skulls )
So ending.....right or wrong? You gotta understand why it is what it is, but you can also see why it might be selfish.
Oh it's totally selfish. Joel is a massive piece of shit and a damn monster. I mean you understand where he's coming from and feel for him. But man, how can you justify what he does there. But that what makes the ending of the first game good.
I got that immediately upon seeing it. It is kind of baffling and a little upsetting people walked away from that first game thinking Joel was 100% a hero and what he did was unquestionably right. Which is why Naughty Dog made a second game basically saying "No, Joel fucked up and here's why."

To be fair, I did not think he was 100% a hero, nor unquestionably right. But I can appreciate in such circumstances, under such stress, that this is how someone would act.
If he had been the one with Ellie's condition, he would undoubtedly have sacrificed himself. But would you really be able to sacrifice another?

Oh, he sacrifices plenty of others. That's what was the most horrible part to me. Its two fold condeming the human race to their nightmarish and violent present and future, but also how many people there in that hospital does he brutally murder to save Ellie.
People are laid to waste and he doesn't give it a second thought. All of these other lives are cheap compared to Ellie's who he has replaced in his mind with his deceased daughter. Not even really Ellie herself, what she represents and that part of himself and his family that was lost.
He's a broken man that gets a little bit of happiness and hope back and that's how far he's willing to go to protect it. That one line he says to that woman he's delivering Ellie too outside the elevator when she's on the ground with a bullet wound begging for her life and Joel says "You'd only come after her." *click* So brutal. I also think it's totally reasonable. It's incredibly tragic.

Ohh you are totally right. I think though it highlighted he was incredibly unstable. Nobody probably looks at the mental ordeal these people are probably facing. The world became so fragmented after he and Ellie had gone through hell facing HUMANS. In his world, the humans and the infected were indistinguishable. You were either part of his "family", or you stood in is way.
I am starting to play Days Gone (Nioh first DLC boss is too freaking hard, I am giving up) actually a very decent game from the few hours I have played so far. Very Last fo Us in how the world feels.
I haven't read much of this thread since I'm going to eventually play it. (After an almost spoiler incident anyways)
My main worry about this game is that they completely change characters in the name of making a point everyone agrees with. You know, the kind thats stupid on its face almost to the point of breaking the 4th wall. And no that doesn't mean making Ellie gay. Literally every single person already knew that and nobody that had an issue with the game didn't like it because of that.
From what I gather from the almost spoiler he sheds Ellie somehow to save himself. That in my opinion goes completely against the character in every way and nobody would do that given the first game. He figuratively fights death himself to save someone against all odds instead of just walking away (1st game) and then just drops them like a ball of wax? Nope piss poor writing.

I think they just shed some light on the characters in a different way than some of the audience wanted and that was a huge blow to the fan base initially. Although the criticisms in some aspects don't seem unwarranted.
That's not what Joel does BTW.

Just bought it today and got to the movie theater. $30 on PSN for black friday.
Pretty great so far. I can see why so many people were pissed. Thats a helluva start to the game.
The mechanics seem worse than part 1 though. Also, level design was far superior in part 1. I really like how you kind of see Joel's influence on Ellie's personality. Almost a like father like daughter kind of thing. Its pretty cool. Ellie and Abby are a cool pair, not as fun or whimsical as Joel and Ellie were but great non the less.

I don't understand why people are pissed, this was obviously what was going to be the case. And the other thing was in the DLC. I wasn't razzed at all.

Some people just hate when something like that happens to their favorite characters. Like HATE it.
