The Gaming Diary: Chapter 2

[techwizard]

about to start The Last of Us. i wasn't really sold on it from the trailers alone, but this morning i watched the 14 minute intro on youtube and started throwing money at my screen. about 15 minutes later i was on the bus down to the local EB Games. they were sold out of the collector's edition, but oh well.

THE LAST OF US.

EDIT: Maybe it's just that I'm terrible at it, but this game has been brutally hard so far for me. Stuck about 3 hours in.

THE LAST OF US.

it's amazing so far! put about 2 hours into it then got stuck, decided to take a break for dinner. i'm playing on normal but finding it really difficult, partially because i don't have a lot of experience with stealth games. so i don't think it's the game's fault, i think i'm just bad.

HAH. I edited my post at the same time you posted this. I'm also playing on normal and am having a tough time. Stuck in a tower right now. Can't figure out how to keep from being seen...

is that the tower where you first see the "clickers"? that's the one i'm stuck on, but it didn't take me nearly as long...maybe i haven't been exploring as much.

Yep. There's one specific part where you have to kill 4 or 5 that are all in one room - tried four or five times and I can't figure it out. The first kill is easy. I think I know where to get the second without being heard, but he always sees me. I gave up after a while.

I'm probably not 3 hours in on the game clock yet, but I replayed several of the conflicts along the way. I would guess that I'm 2 hours into the story, adding on an hour or two while I was playing the scenarios in different ways.

oh, you mean you did that "retry encounter" option or whatever it's called? that makes sense then. that sounds like the exact same room that i'm stuck in, i managed to kill 2 of them but the problem is i don't actually know where to go. a couple times i've hoped to run past them with them chasing, but it doesn't seem to have an actual exit...i guess they really want you to kill them all.

[BadEnoughDude]

Yep. That's exactly it. First kill is easy. Can't kill the second without alerting the others, which never ends well.

Sounds like you guys are having similar problems with The Last of Us as I was having with Dishonored. Stealth is just so nebulous. It's always hard to tell when it's done right or you just suck at at.

Anyway I played Atelier Totori for about three hours this morning. It's starting to have that addictive "just one more task..." feeling. I love it.

Skullgirls, really liking the characters and style of the game, need to work on my mastery of the controls however.

[two_scoop_steve]

I still need to pickup Skullgirls,I've been messing around with Street Fighter X Tekken.

[Link41]

Roll in the Hole (WP7) - This has horrible tilt controls...

[raffa1985]

About 5-6 hours into The Last of Us. I'm having a good time, very good game, but i wouldn't call it a masterpiece like the critics are saying, neither the best game of 2013. I particularly enjoyed Tomb Raider more.

[GrayGhost81]

Just played Starfox 64 for Blklblskt's high score thread (spoiler alert: I sucked).

Now back to Atelier Totori.

Really loving Dragon Age. That is all.
