Thanks for the responses guys!
To answer some questions: Yeah I don't feel like listening/reading the notes and I feel my bow and I are doing just fine killing people XD.
The narrative and the open-ness of the game is what makes it so different from UC thus far. I get that I shouldnt compare them but I just had to ask.
I know a lot enjoy it, but I personally enjoy a more linear approach where I really want to continue. No scratch that: Where i really CANNOT STOP playing, because of how into the overall plot I am.
I am going to have to take my time with TR and thats great. But I just don't have that "can't wait to run around in the forrest with Lara (/ Laura?).
I just prefer doing it all in one sitting if possible. Hell even God of War Ascension with its lack of story telling had me going 9 hours straight, two nights before an exam.
I must be super casual for liking linear games, don't hate me! xD
EDIT: This will in particular be bad during The Last Of Us. IF that game has the standard ND narrative => I am not going to get any sleep for over 12 hours. That scares me.
Help me!
