How far into it are you?

 

Clickers are bitches if you have a shiv. Which reminds me - why does Joel not have a fuging combat knife?! Half of the encounters would be a breeze if he did.

 

The Stalkers are hard - seems like a one hit kill, but with the speed of a Runner. I've met them once, in a scripted set up. They were difficult.

 

The Bloaters are horrible too - although if you have a couple of Molotovs they're not so bad. 

 

What I like is that Humans are probably the most difficult enemy (or they are so far!).

Just because the Drake games didn't fit your play style doesn't mean they are bad.

 

In fact, they are some of the best single player games that have came out, IMO.  After playing bugfest games like Fallout 3 and Skyrim, which I love, it was nice playing Drake where stuff just WORKS and you can sit down after working 8 hours and relax for a bit instead of crafting armor for 2 hours (which I enjoy, but not always).  

 

It's nice to have different styles of games.  LA Noire is another where it's almost an interactive movie.   I don't usually buy games that aren't longer than 15 hours but I'm not going to say they are bad games just because of that, it's just because I don't think it's decent value for money.  However, I have this preordered because of how great I thought the Drake games were.

 

right, i like being challenged when i play video games. others enjoy occasionally pressing A while watching a movie.

 

i think people were more impressed with the graphics/sound/physics/story (although i only played a few hours of it, the story didn't exactly draw me in) rather than the gameplay itself. i really don't see how someone can enjoy the gameplay of uncharted. the combat and adventuring were laughable.

 

LA Noire might be even worse than uncharted. it was fun for about an hour, then you realize you're just pressing the A button when the game tells you to in order to find evidence/clues. don't get me started on how awful the interrogations were. again, the only redeeming aspect of LA Noire was the graphics, namely the faces.

Still not finished it, but the story/characters alone make it an 8. Game play added on top makes it 9.5/10.

 

Slight flaw in the crafting/hoarding system (i.e. he doesn't carry a combat knife so you have to use breakable shivs/he can only carry a v.limited amount of ammo) and a slightly contrived series of set pieces takes me out of the moment.

 

Other than that it's an absolute masterpiece.

The only thing I didn't like about this was how easy it was to sneak past rooms full of Clickers.  Also enemy guards standing right on top of Ellie and not seeing her as she scurried over to my hiding spot.

Clickers are blind. They're also one hit kills - so yes they're relatively easy to sneak past, but if you don't (and there's a few of them) you're toast. I couldn't stealth kill Stalkers - don't see how you can.

 

You'd have disliked it more if Ellie running over to your position broke your stealth. It was a necessary evil.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
