When you posted "long periods of time", how long are we talking here? Because I remember distinctly that the enemies would swing their weapons the instant they got in range and the swing would track your movement almost ensuring a hit. If you don't run past enemies the right way, you WILL get hit.

you chose wisely.

The AI in RE4 was very simple  (basically pathfind to Leon or Ashley) compared to TLOU.  The combination of stealth gameplay and Ellie being dynamic (looking for cover, assisting Joel) complicated things a bit in TLOU.

thought RE4 was  scarier than tlou but neither was truly scary, for its time re4 is the better game imo but that has to do with my tastes

tlou has a colorful almost cartoony look to it then again its probably the same engine as uncharted its a more story driven game.  re4 you can feel like a bad ass with the amount of weapons, ammo, enemy types and boss battles

i do like both games but for its time and what re4 did to the 3rd person genre it deserves the win here

leon>joell  ellie>ashley ada>tess in a fight

Ellie taking cover was pointless though considering she was invisible. Ashley was more of a factor: you had to protect her more often than Ellie, she wasn't invisible, AND she wasn't free to just bump into enemies without consequence.

TLOU is winnong the poll guys.
