That gunplay and gun upgrades/ customization...peak. haven't found anything quite like it in any other game I've played. Maybe RE4 but that's it

First time play through and I’m playing on survivor(grounded had me in a chokehold) I finally felt safe for once, like releasing the tension in your shoulders relaxed… then Sam… then Henry. It brought the tension back on SOOO FAST. (I don’t like horror but I ALSO love horror movies and games)

So I just went through the museum and I remember the top floor being quite the challenge in Remastered, but in Part 1 i hand to hand beat 4-5 runners and it was over first try. Felt I had to double check and hopped on Remastered and tried the same encounter back to back. Feels like you get completely flooded with runners in comparison and if you try to knuckle fight them you might clear 3-4 tops then you will pick up too much damage.

Damn, did they really nerf the Grounded difficulty that much in Part 1?

I just finished my notes for Part I and Left Behind lmao I have American Dreams on hold at the library and am about so start in with Part II

A huge THANK YOU to those who upload the gameplay on YouTube so I don't have to play and take notes at the same time!

Just replayed the Boston chapter and while in Boston today I had to swing by lol

So I had not previously considered sharing this here, but maybe some people would enjoy it. The game touched me so much, I decided to write a song about it. It's from the point of view of Joel to Ellie (or probably more accurately from my point of view as Joel to Ellie).

Anyway, any thoughts welcome, and I hope at least some of you enjoy it 🙂

im doing a persuasive essay on how i believe abbys one of the best female protagonists in video game history, but i got told i need to compare her to other characters such as ellie or lara croft and compare them and show how she is better and i cant think of shit. we’re writing it on tuesday and it’s saturday im fucked. HELP! edit: i’ve done like 90% of the essay the only bit im stuck on is comparing her storyline to characters from different games/franchises. just for the people in the comments saying if i don’t have anything to say don’t do it.

I always thought parts, and therefore upgrading your weapons, was capped but I swear I'm getting a lot more parts on this run than I remember.

Just finished my second playthrough of Part 1, beat it on grounded this time. Now I want to finish off the trophies and get the plat for the game. currently at 19/29. I assume for ones like the one for leaving Ellie hanging I can just load into the chapter, do the interaction and get the trophy. but for the collectible ones, can I do the same thing? Or do I need to actually complete the section I find it in to get credit? Also, is there a way to tell which specific collectibles I still need or is it just a vague “1/3” for the chapter? Any help is appreciated!

I always tear up when Joel calls Ellie babygirl

I just wanna crawl through the screen and give this man a fucking hug 😭😭😭😭 poor guy was fighting back tears of joy at the thought of Ellie forgiving him

Just wanted to share this pretty awesome birthday gift that I got a little while ago. I'm terrible at puzzles so only managed to complete this recently. Loved it so much that I decided to frame it and hang it in my bedroom!

I mean, theoretically, yes, survival is possible, but every scenario i come up with seems to have one major flaw that would leave me dead.

has anyone cracked the code? how would you make it? (if you think you WOULD make it, that is.) If not, why would you die?

could it be that they decided at some point during development that they couldn’t sell a game with Abby as the sole main character?

Ellie’s section has a dull setting, no Gustavo music, a shockingly bad dynamic for the first chapter or so because you are stuck with Dina which has no character other than being Ellie’s cheerleader

By the end of her section i was seeing her as the downright villain of the story, all made worse by how she just tells Jesse to fuck off and he is missed because they have a level of bickering and banter that real friends would have. Instead of repeating how awesome one thinks the other is over and over again

Abby on the other hand, has an incredible arc, Gustavo’s music, which shouldn’t need to be explained why its a must in a TLOU game and a variety of settings that demand a level of engagement and strategy of the player

I liked bits of Ellies section too, but it was jarring going from woodsy suburb to woodsy city to rainy city during the course of hours and hours

anyway, discuss

When I heard her playing guitar for first time I was impressed then I bought guitar to play the same song she played
