Since when are "survival" and gore mutually exclusive tongue ?

Looking more and more at this game, I am still quite impressed. I mean, I'm not a fan of Uncharted or any of the works of Naughty Dag for that matter, but this game looks to be quite intriguing.

Plus, it has some of the best enemy and sidekick AI I've ever seen in any game.

Seriously, this game would be a lot less scary if the enemies were dumb and the like but NOOOOOOOO. These devs have standards. tongue

And those are some FINE shadows! :D

Can't help but notice, since shadows seem to be such a common thing to goof up on consoles.

They say TLOU would be the most technically advanced PS 3 game that pushes the console to its absolute limits. Of course, they said the same thing about Uncharted 3...

Game looks cool. AI is also pretty cool, as long as they make it diverse and don't make the same quotes and tactics each level.

By the way, does anyone here recommend Uncharted? I've never played any of ND's games before.

As I said in the AC thread, it's pretty fun and entertaining, though nothing game changing besides making heavy use if dynamic levels (burning buildings, crashing planes, trap filled ruins etc). If you like Indiana Jones, then you'll probably like Uncharted.

Jak and Daxter is also a great example of Naught Dog games.

Then I'll probably buy a used PS 3 in early July.

The one thing I am concerned about is if it really is "survival". Like if you run out of ammo and keep using a brick as a weapon it'll crumble up, instead of just plowing through linear areas with no strategy.

Well, in the video with the fungus people he only used the gun like 3 times, and had to sneak or have a difficult time.

[up] Like if you punched a wall?

Like if you punched a face. When you pull your hand into a fist, the skin goes taught around the knuckles, making them easier to burst if they hit anything hard, like say, something with a skeleton, with enough force, which is easily generated by a punching motion. You just don't feel like you can do this on a normal day because your brain limits your muscles in non-fight-or-flight scenarios so things like this don't happen.

Remember, if you ever get into a bar fight, use your elbows because the cops check knuckles when they're looking for who did any assailing.

Man if you're still around after a bar fight you're already doing it wrong.

Better yet, bring a gun or a pocket knife. Or avoid fights.

I mean I guess as a deterrent it'd be good but the penalty for shooting a dude is considerably more severe then just knocking him out.

But if you're not getting into fights you mgiht as well not drink at all. It's like driving a car and not destroying government property with it, it's just pointless.

Or if you aren't getting into fights but are still drinking, at least get some ST Ds

I like how this game makes everything look pretty. Real isn't brown.

And no, the gaming industry hasn't run out of ideas (Hollwood kinda has). After the borefest of 2012, I can see why some people think that. But the year has started off well, IMO.

I didn't realize people were saying the games industry had run out of ideas. Nor did I realize people were using this game to show it. seriously that comment just came out of nowhere.

Well, 2012 was the year of the sequel... And so was 2011 and 2010. Also, when the first trailer for the Last of Us came out, everyone was like "grooooooaaaan another zombie thing ugghhhhh" since 2011-2012 were the years of the zombie
