All I can say is, keep a very close eye on your ammo status.
And use the power of sneak to conqure enemies!

Just beat the game on survivor finding all collectibles/conversations etc. I even basically scoured the entire game and read every article/listened to everything. Basically I clocked the singleplayer portion of this game (not including NG+) . When I eventually review this I'm definitely giving it a 10/10, not because it is perfect (it isn't), simply because it's the best game I have ever played, no joke. I love Uncharted 2, I love BioShock Infinite, I love Dead Space 2, Fallout 3, Skyrim etc. this game beats all of them for me. The story couldn't have been any better, the characters were superb, gameplay excellent, incredible soundtrack/voice acting, I could go on and on.
IGN put up a really great spoilercast for this yesterday, if you have beaten the game it's definitely worth listening too !http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vzX_sYp80Q
So yea, onto my 4th playthrough, can't get enough, ND, you just gave the PS3 it's best possible send-off (for this generation) ( for the record I don't see Beyond: Two Souls being better). Everyone needs to play this masterpiece,

Don't think you have anything to worry about mate
So, incredible game, in fact one of the best games to came up on the PS3 and best survival horror game I have played thus far (apart from Silent Hill 2, but that goes into the horror game category).
So, to explain things further I will have to spoil major plot points and events, so you have been warned:
The best games come in the ending life of a console, and this is a prime example of that, I wont go as far as saying this is GOTY, however I personally really like it, and however who can play it should play it, because is an amazing experience.
So, to explain things further I will have to spoil major plot points and events, so you have been warned:
First and foremost is the interaction between Ellie and Joel, first having Joel loosing her daughter in the initial sequence gives a great background to Joel's character in the story development, this is boosted somewhat by making Sarah playable in the initial stage of the game which showcases the bond between her and her father and how abruptly that relationship ends with Sarah's dead.
Then we find what Joel became 20 years after the incident with Sarah and how he denies or ignores her daughter dead, to find himself pushing away Ellie which is pretty akin to Sarah.
Onwards the story presents several character arcs, and the setting by which these developments take place is really grim, savage and gory. Which builds up an incredible momentum of drama that gives a constant state of tension, without overwhelming the narrative and the pace.
This game is a great example of how to manage pacing in games, the action exists but is never too excessive or too repetitive or too calm, and the finding/scavenger/crafting mechanics are very well design which fit the theme that the game is going for.
The ending is incoherent for anyone but Joel, which is one of the most emotive moments because having play through his moments, the moments he had with Ellie and knowing what kind of losses he suffered, is logical to assume his decision, which really does set the bar in how storytelling should be and should go.

I just finished it, took me just under 13 hours and it is the greatest game I have played to date.

I have to ask. How did you do that? I admit I was slow with my 22 hours, but under 13, really?
I beat the game first time in around 11-12 hours on normal, my survivor diff. playthrough took 13 hours and I did practically everything, collectibles, conversations, shiv doors, scavenging the whole playing area, I don't understand these 18+ hour times, unless you were very very slow or left the game running while you went out of something.

It really depends on how you play the game. I could barely have made it in under 13 hours, but easily in over 16 hours if I had wanted to.

Am I the only one who does not like The Last of us? Way too dark and graphics are certainly not better than Uncharted 1 and two.
I can enjoy difficult games, but somehow I could not push myself to like the difficulty of this game.
Luckily I was able to sell it 2nd hand for a good price.

You can increase brightness if this is the problem.
Uncharted and The Last of Us are not exactly the same type of game, or genre if you want to call it so. I understand that some people like the Uncharted series better, although I seriously wonder why you found Uncharted 1 that good. In my eyes it was the weakest Uncharted, whereas 2 was the best and 3 in the middle.
For me it's a hard decision between UC2 and TLoU, but in my opinion they do not really compete with each other anyway.

I have a problem with collectables.
In my SAVE FILE it says that I have found 48 and in MAIN MENU 118 - the problem appeared during my first play through.
Does it mean my trophies will be glitched ?
During my second play through I have skipped few items that I knew I already had...

Not really - I mean - when I was manually saving the game it always gave me "autosaving in progress" info however it did not freeze or anything the autosaving finished and I could save the game manually.

Ah ok, I did but I think it has affected my following play throughs the collectibles that I got when my save failed mo longer seem to be there. I'm gonna try and delete my game data file (not my game save files)
So the save file is lower than your game file?
I think it could be that the save file relates to that play through and the main menu relates to all of your play throughs?
I've read somewhere, that all your found collectibles are stored somewhere on ND server, so you don't have to pick every single one of them in one playthrough, but you can eg. find one different collectible in every playthrough and you will eventually get the trophy.

Agreed, my first playthrough was 24 hours but I was enjoying the 'feel' of the game, taking in all of the areas and I found pretty much everything in that one run through. My second is going a lot faster, but my focus is a little different this time.
Some just like to push forward all of the time, more like an FPS combat game. I like the stealth approach and caution, which is pretty useless in other games - I also like to see where I can climb to and explore, so it does depend on how you play it really. That was one of the selling points of the game I believe, you choose how to tackle the game, stealth or aggression.
