Last of Us [PS4]

[RenegadeRocks]

Playing it again on Hard this time. The game keeps getting better and better.
Your ammos and weapons are a lot more scarce. I love it.
The Survivor difficulty is going to be nuts.

I am playing on hard on first playthrough. SInce you have already seen Normal, what are the differences? is there a difference in damage model and health bars too or is it just scarcity of resources that makes it harder?

I think its just the scarcity of resources cos the enemies are not hard to kill on hard, just that you have only just enough stuff to kill them.

It's easier to kill on Normal. 2 shots max.
Enemy AI seems smarter on hard, but maybe that's just in my head.

Enemy AI certainly is dummer on Easy than on Normal, I can tell you that ...

 

[orangpelupa]

agh i have become dumb.. all those easy game really make me dumb.

Last of Us on MEDIUM/NORMAL and it took me more than ten retries to finish a checkpoint. ugh...
im dumb

Well if it's the section that is also the demo, I gave up trying after about 6 times. So I haven't just gotten dumb, I'm also really impatient. Truth is, having to suddenly restart 6 times after first having had a very smooth 2 hours or whatever of play, you could argue that the difficulty spiked too much.

My strategy for that part by the way ended up being

Spoiler

taking out all the runners first. Two or three with stealth, and that left enough breathing room to comfortably flee and hide from the clicker when killing the others went a little less silently. Then you can sneak up on a clicker as long as you don't move when they click your way and triangle + triangle (shiv) takes them down fairly easily. Afterwards I'm still taking them down only when I really have to, trying to be really careful with my resources. But sometimes you miss a certain entry to a way out, and then you end up having to do some serious battle. You could just restart that section, but that takes me out of the story too much. So I'm glad so far that I changed to Easy.

Playing on Survival difficulty now.
Supplies don't glow and it's super scarce.
Enemy AIs are definitely better.

Man the lighting and environment art in this game are really something to gasp at, I truly wish we get a PS4 version of it with 1080p, decent AA and higher res textures It could effortlessly pass as a launch nextgen game. Also love the small touches like the bubbles scatter around realistically and shimmering under the light as you wade through the water. This game is truly one of a kind on PS3.

Yup, thats what I said a few posts back, if this was a ps4 launch game, ps4 would have won in a second ! The game is too good for th eps3. If there's aps4 version I will buy it again ! At full 1080p and higher res textures and GI from the torch everywhere( right now only a few objects cast GI) would be too glorious to pass.

Also, a cramped room, to clickers, supplies at the back...an invisible Rwnegade went in snatched all the supplies without a single clicker noticing ...tra la la la la ....


And btw, there are some sad stories in there, sweet and sad at the same time.

Wow ! The game is crafted with so much love. I was exlporing around in a house and

Spoiler Renegade my good mate!
But yeah I feel you, the story really is darker than I expected, but really really well told.

 

[patsu]

And.... done !

22+ hours.
4am now.

It's a mixed bag for me. But memorable nonetheless.

 

[orangpelupa]

oh my god.
If the last of us comes to PS4 it will be awesome.

i just tried playing using tv motion interpolation set to NORMAL and playing 2 meter from TV.
Its marvelous. The expression, the animation, the image quality just wow awesome.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

It is the humans who are more difficult and scary to fight, cos they can shoot ! Will remember this sequence for a long time. I had only two slots of health to go with but I managed thru !

Is TV motion interpolation cool for a game? Worth trying it out?

 

[orangpelupa]

motion interpolation is hit or miss. fortunately for unknown reason, my TV works fine when set to "NORMAL". If set to "Smooth/max" it will produce artefacts.

it makes the game feels like running in 60fps and making those sub-30-fps area more tolerable.

but be prepared for increase in input lag.

for me the input lag are not a problem because i never able to shoot in console game and TLoU allow a wide array of melee attacks

 

[Arwin]

The Last of Us is definitely a game where it pays to be slow and thoughtful most of the time.

 

[Xbat]

Game of the generation for me.
Cool story, awesome characters and non linear gameplay.

I played on hard with listen mode off, some real tense moments lol, now for survivor mode.

 

[Bagel seed]

The stealth combat in this game is damn good. And then when SHTF there are still so many ways to survive... because the levels are open enough. Compare this to the latest Hitman and it's completely the opposite with tiny corridor levels.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

Man, they do these emotional scenes so subtly ! Eyes went wet !

Same here , hard and listen turned off: the experience is unmatchable ! And the game si completely doable without listen mode, you just have to actually listen !!!

Never thought ND could pull this off so well !
