Been a long time since I played, but now that I'm bulldozing my backlog, I should try going through my PS4 copy. After that, it'll be time to play Left Behind! Right now, just in the tutorial warehouse place with Tess.

Even if you do a hard save, it's overwritten/updated by autosaves, which defeats the point. Gotta keep two hard saves. =/

Wait, you mean the most recent manual save you make is overwritten by the autosaves?

I made two hard saves (the usual fallback for collection purposes) and the most recent one is updated by autosaves. As someone who wrote a game script for the game and is trying to find stuff I didn't add the first time, the autosaving is kinda annoying. You can't disable it either, it seems.

I've always heard this, but I never bothered trying it on PS3.

Yeah I found that out the hard way. It's stupid.

IMO TLOU is fun, but it's a one playthrough type of game. it just doesn't hold up that well if you remember the story and all the set pieces, since the game is so reliant on those two elements.

TLOU is definitely short on replay value, I agree. In fact, much of the dialogue is short and choppy, which diminishes my fond memories of my earlier playthroughs. Maybe it'll get a bit better once Ellie's in the mix. (Ehh, probably not, but she'll be better than Tess at any rate.)

_ 1. They're not strictly zombies. 2. Of course they were human at one point, because 3. ALL zombies were human at one point, what are you talking about?

The way they implemented auto-save is probably the most annoying of any game I can remember.

My other main complaint is targeted shots don't seem to matter at all. Maybe it's different on the higher difficulties but headshots didn't seem to work much better than shooting someone in the foot.

Its definitely different on higher difficulties. I did my first run on hard with no listen mode, and headshots mattered quite a bit. It took one shot instead of 2-4.

Even more so on my survival and grounded runs.

That doesn't make any sense if you think about it.

"Let's make normal mode easier by making headshots not work."

It definitely caused more battles than not to be dragged on, no matter how good my shooting was.

Yeah, I've noticed some of my headshots weren't registering properly. Wasn't there some strategy of throwing bricks at clickers for takedown opportunities or something? All those stealthy tactics should mitigate the stupid gunplay a bit.

Alrighty, up to the museum. Been fairly simple so far, once I remembered some of the strategies. Died a few times at the first major runner/clicker fight, though.

Damn, I guess you really can just use a brick to stun clickers, then beat 'em to death with bare fists. Good to know.

The Last of Us is an over-praised game with obvious flaws. SPOILERS!!!!

1. I really dislike "the monsters are really us" themed games. It just seems over done to the point where it gets predictable and boring now.

2. I don't know if you guys knew this or not but the game made it very apparent that Joel and his girlfriend were evil people. Joel saving Ellie wasn't really an act of kindness. He did for his selfish reasons.

4. The game held your hand through out the game. You're going to be fighting zombies soon? We'll let you know by showing spores and you can hear them screech half a mile away. Fighting humans soon? Well we'll give you a great secret hiding spot to start at and we'll make you a ninja and make everyone else a loud ass brute.

5. For the most part, anything and everything is easily disposed by the shotgun. Headshots are instant kills and they aren't hard to do.

6. The survivor horror aspect of the game is an illusion by trying to say you only have limited low amounts of ammo and items but the fact is as soon as you empty your ammo on a group of hostiles, they always drop enough to refill your stuff back up.

7. The game is super easy even in hard mode. Survivor and Grounded mode is a great challenge but seriously you shouldn't have to always play on an insane hard level to find challenge within the game.

After this, I'll probably go through Titanfall 2, which I haven't touched since Black Friday. It'd be nice to finish Last Guardian, too.

Alrighty, let's get through this Pitt bookstore. I almost forgot it's around this time when all the joke events start, so I've been being diligent (autosave hijinx nonwithstanding) in finding 'em.

On another note, I find it odd that for giving enemies such sound-based AI, it's weird that it ranks "knock over tin can" so highly while "walk on miles of shattered glass" doesn't do anything. I mean, sure it'd be annoying, but c'mon...realism.

Finished the first Pittsburgh stuff. Honestly, the worst part isn't running from the humvee; it's escaping without blowing that POS to kingdom come. One good 'nade right in the ol' pillbox would do 'er.

I remembered getting a new weapon at the dam, but I forgot it was a scoped .44. Could've sworn it was a long gun you definitely didn't find sitting in a security shed's muck.

Yessss, and now we get to the best part: killing hunters as Ellie out in the snowy wilderness. If the game's save system wasn't completely banjaxed, I'd just keep a save out here to do it over and over. Shame the spring events aren't as great.
