Naughty Dog doing this in house too just adds to the hype!

The game has a great story, but the gameplay was an absolute sleep fest for me. I never got to play it online tho. I really want to find out what happens with the story tho. Ellie VS Joel

Did you play it on the hard difficulty. It really makes it tense. You have never have enough weapons so you have be really careful and sparing with gear. Proper survival horror stuff.

Think I mentioned it earlier somewhere, but for some reason I managed to complete it on Survivor mode and found it easier than on Normal. I guess it might be because I knew what I was doing 2nd time round. Plus I forgot I had the listen mode on Normal so didn’t miss it on Survivor.
BEWARE… POSSIBLE (NOT QUITE) SPOILER ALERT!!!!
In the hospital I struggled like hell on normal, but on Survivor mode I just legged it down the left hand side whilst climbing through a couple of windows, threw a smoke bomb and that was it, first go.
I think a lot of luck was involved too as I just seemed to drift through some bits what I expected were gonna be a real ball ache.

@double-o-dave,
Trust me, the game is far from simple on Survivor, I’m currently trying to complete the game on Survivor without dying & frustratingly have died multiple times on areas where previously had zero trouble. . The game requires maximum concentration & very good knowledge of enemy routes. . a little luck here & there but i would never class this game as simple.
Try it again on Survivor, I’d be confident you’d have an entirely new experience.

Also stopped playing due to boring gameplay. Will give it another go tho. If I don’t get a discount for paying full price for it on ps3 via psn I will be upset
