I assumed when I started this thread it died cause not many had yet finished it, and obviously they dont want to come here till they have :P I still cant escape the thought in my head that what Joel did at the end was an act of selfishness, I want to think he did the right thing but I cant ignore the things I knew. By the end he was dependent on her, and the story she told about how her and her friend got bit and infected, and her friend died, and then all that happened to get to where she was, by the end she was ready to die. I dont think she wanted to live in this world anymore having seen the harsh realities of it. In some ways, you can go through the story and see what the various points show. The whole bit with Micheal and Henry (maybe names are wrong) and the way that he ended his life when his brother died (who was basically a son). That just asks Joel what is the point of fighting, other than for someone. You then see the life his brother has built with a family and they actually have a happy life. I think Joel is being selfish for sure. I think at the start Ellie was a very vulnerable character, by the time we were allowed to play as her she become quite capable of her own accord and had grown much more independent. She should be vaguely competant, but for me she actually seemed to be more competant than Joel in the inital phase. I already started it on Survivor, and though its hard so far I havent really gotten totally stuck (even though there have been times I expected too). I have just gotten to the part your navigating through the cemetary with Bill. The main changes, no 'concentrated hearing' (didnt realise how much I depended on that till it was gone!), and you get hardly any items at all, so you have to bit really sparing with what you do get (I havent even used a shiv yet other than to open locked doors!). But it actually does make the game more enjoyable I find, as when I did it on normal like you said, I always had plenty of ammo, usually full items and materials to make more if I needed them. I think when I played on normal everytime I came to an encounter, I killed everything in the area. Though thats still possible on Survivor I guess, its a lot more about picking and choosing your fights. Sometimes its just better to avoid it and sneak past the enemies, as getting drawn into combat without resources can be a death sentence and like trying to break through a wall by headbutting it. Though I would recommend giving it a go, though difficult its not outlandish, and does help to create that feeling of 'struggle to survive' |
So is there still listen mode? Is it just a burst thing or is it gone entirely?
As for those recordings, I thought they were talking about her, I didn't hear anything saying they had found other immune people
