This game has just put me through the worst jump scare I've ever had to experience. I'm still a bit shaky. Smashed my elbow off the chair, knocked my headset off which spilt red wine on the carpet and up the wall. Absolute comedy scenes. Amazing.

That thing in your spoiler, it’s absolutely everywhere. Guess you can’t make a videogame 100% coherent and also enjoyable.

Would’ve loved a different approach in that scene.

There is something odd about having a move where you grab someone from behind and hold them at gunpoint, when the only option from there is to kill them. It really stands out in certain scenes when it feels like a negotiation could work.

I know that's a bit 'if only you could talk to the monsters', but that's kind of what the game's about.

Bob

Is this becoming spoilerific
In here now I’ve dropped behind
??

I’ve not even been introduced to holding people up at gunpoint

hylian_elf

I think Jon means just grabbing someone from behind in stealth mode. Which you can do from that start.

JonB

Yeah, it's one of your main moves.

Bob

Is it just me or does Ellie in the tv advert look like a different girl?

PS4 fan noise is at 50dB. Is that bad? Sounds like a jet engine to me and has been ruining game atmosphere.

(So do the birds chirping away in my garden while window is open, but that’s ok.)

Sorry to pick up on it, and not singling you out g, but that's not an attitude I like at all.

The fact of the matter is that's straight through sales which are the ones that benefit the company. Yes, second hand copies may dilute sales down the line, but I don't like that as a default snap to position.

Howdy, Stranger!
