I just met some guy who put traps everywhere and now we have to fix a car? Something like that? I must be 3-4 hours in, if even that.

I had the same experience. It does get a lot more interesting, though.
Still, I think with each new ND game release, gameplay feels more and more like an obligation. It's a fairly limited stealth game, padded to hell and back with encounter after encounter after encounter. It also doesn't really evolve much over time. It just looks really pretty. The game parts are there because that's what's expected, but to me it seems like ND would rather be making films.
Well i have had a much, much more engaging experience from the get-go on all the Uncharted games, which is why i was a bit surprised when Last of Us hit me as a very slow starting, and apart from a couple of moments, not very moving experience. It does look pretty, and makes you think what the hell we'll see coming out of ND on new hardware.

For me this is a return to gameplay heavy games for ND. Uncharted was moving too much in awe inspiring levels with minimum gamplat. This, on the other hand, was pure gameplay joy , to me, with minimal curscenes. Loved it !
Like I say to everyone, if u r using the Listen mode, ur gameplay experience comes down heavily. The game is made to played without it. Bliss. Sucks u in so much more , so much that it starts feeling real.

Play some more... I think that good moment to asses this game is first season change... And after that its get better and better....
If you want gameplay to be more engaging you should listen to RR and turn off listen mode.
But i die enough now with Listen mode, i'll be totally useless without!
Heh heh, same here !
I ended up squatting in some corner for minutes, staring at the zombies and clearing the room slowly. The game is more fun when I set a pace to clear the rooms.
Also, the game will throw some curve balls at you later.
Overall, I think the game is one step deeper than ND's past achievements, but with some roughness in the game. The movie-game boundary seems even more blurred compared to Uncharted.
I like the weapon customization and upgrades most. They are helpful.

If you have a pair of ears and headphones, you will be fine
! J/kNo, but , theres no problem in playing without it. With Listen on, its basically a wall hack cheat. There is no fear, no understanding of enemy AI, no fear of 'will I survive this fight?' You know everything, the game leads you by the nose ,you just press buttons and move on to the next area to repeat. Its a non-game with listen on.
If u turn it off, then the game begins ! Its a terrible world out there, where each shot needs to be saved for a later fight. 'How do I get thru this by using minimum supplies?' Your plan will almost always failand your quick thinking is what will always save you. The spike in tension/danger that occurs when u get spotted is something so addicting and unique to this game.
Once you get invested in surviving in that world , your scavenging becomes a hunt ! and those exploration times are when the actual magic happens. You feel the relief after super tense "I might die anytime" sequences where you survived because of quick thinking and that supply you had saved. Each fight will leave you empty again or with some supplies left if you applied some strategy in a fight. This game is all about gameplay and has very limited number of cutscenes( max story happens durnig gameplay and exploration ) and has a variety to what you can do and how you want to clear a particular hurdle.
But, yes, that will happen only when u r invested in gameplay, which doesn't happen with Listen turned on. Also,a lot of hidden themes of the game come to the fore if you play without the Listen mode. That was my experience, but I won't spoil it for you. its something you feel over time and is constant undercurrent theme of the game.
I think its all in ur mind, if u start the game without it, you will never miss it. The game provides a LOT of audio cues to play the game without it. Just move slowly, push the left stick only halfway, and actually 'listen' ! Try not to use Shivs anywhere else except for doors, unless of course it is unavoidable.Use the bow for Clicker headshots. Use Molotovs and clear groups in one go. Use nail bombs as traps and throw a bottle near it to attract as many infected as possible.There's a audio cue that always kicks in if you are about to be spotted. Just tread back as soon as you hear it. Listen mode makes you think its an actin game, when it is actually not ND had stated in an interview that they feared it would review very badly. I am sure Listen mode is just a tool to make sure everyone gets to play it, action gamers and new gamers, who are used to super easy games ,included.
Well, talk about Karma... So last night I was convinced, go in and turn Listen mode OFF... And the game won't start anymore. Checked the disc and somehow there's a massive scratch on it. The game starts loading after the initial welcome screen, but it keeps getting stuck at the loading screen just before the game actually starts (the black screen with particles floating and LOADING with a %)...

My first playthrough was on the highest available difficulty. I took my time (26 hours ) for my playthrough, but I used listen mode in the first few hours. After I stopped using it the game got so intense!! The audio cue when you are almost discovered is simply amazing.
All in all imo the best game of the entire generation, both tech, gameplay, story, everything

Woah, can the PS3 read other Blu-ray games ? Sounds like the drive may be wonky.
Yep. It's definitely the TLOU disc with its lovely scratch
I think the game started self-harming when I posted my critiques on here. Talk about realistic game! And even worse, I only took the disc out once, to play Tomb Raider. It can't have been happy about that!

Lol, reminds me, a few years ago I bought a PS3 fat for 30 euros (which was super cheap even then!), it didn't read PS3 discs, only DVD's, and sometimes a blu ray disc (and a game probably as well). So i opened it at a friends house to clean it up, but then the strangest thing happened:
It did play Uncharted, and Wipeout, but it wouldn't read Assassins Creed..
So to me the console was perfectly fine: it only played AAA exclusives, just like it's owner
