Patch 1.02 totally screw multi-player by If you disconnect or lose connection to the host, you will no longer advance a clan day. You will only advance a day if you are kicked from the match, or exit through the menu What a load of


Ehh this might take longer time to platinum for me. 👎

What's wrong with that ?, you want to be rewarded for disconnecting ?

 

[Jawehawk]

The online trophies shouldn't be there to begin with!

Trophy alone for that. 👍

 

[Cragapple]

Yea it's dumb but at least the multiplayer is enjoyable and I don't feel like I am grinding much, I'm having fun. Should have done what they did with the Uncharted games, play one competitive match and that's all.

How would that cause you to take longer to platinum? You will still advance through the weeks normally, it just won't negatively affect you if you lose connection to the host. If anything it will help you as you won't lose a mission and your entire clan because some host decides to rage. If you go on Neogaf you will see that happened to many people. There is not one negative thing about that fix.

What is dumb, the online trophies or the fix?

I find this update useful.

I see it differently, before this patch you could do 12 days in 5 hours, now it's impossible. Every time you lost fraction, you could find new crew and start all over and quickly regain what was lost. Now it's just too much time. 👎

I think ill wait for single player DLC, because just lost all interest's in all multi player.

I'm more interested in playing the game rather than just finishing it.

I think there is a communication barrier here. I don't understand at all what you are trying to say about why it's impossible. I can see you are trying to fly through it as fast as humanly possible whereas I'm just playing to have fun though. But I still don't see how the change significantly slows down the time to do twelve weeks.

I think there was some bug, abusing which could speed up the whole process of gaining these online trophies, but that is now gone.
Though i understand ussr's feelings about that, i think it's allright it's gone.

Be grateful that this isn't like the last two Killzone games which have something like a third of the trophies just for MP advancement.

ND have a reasonable balance, I think - but yeah, if for those who don't do MP as a rule (like me) it can be a pain.

Seems the patch though is protecting the rest of us from rage-quitting hosts - always an annoyance.

So ill explain, i suck badly at shooting games like Dead Matches in Tomb Raider and killing live players in Last of US, so it was much easier for me to just gain days from this glitch which was now fixed. Ehhhh.

Anyway, Survivor was a blast, Survivor + is just easier now, with almost all knowledge i gained from first play through. I strongly hope for some more serious single player Adventure, like 10 hours at least. Please make it 8 not 5 hours. So we could enjoy two night in a row not one.

 

[Yukon]

Wow! Haven't been on this for a few days so I jumped back on this evening to get more hours into it and it's so much fun. I'm still playing single player. I'm actually finding it quite difficult to grasp the controls and play it smoothly. I guess I'm just getting nervous, looking round every single corner incase a clicker runs out at me! It's so tense!

I've just reached..

Spoiler

The town where you meet Bill. I've just been rescued by him and we're now off to find some parts for a car. Also, Ellie called him fat. Twice. lol

I know you guys have already completed it multiple times, but just incase anyone's reading this and haven't started it yet I thought I'd stick a spoiler tag in.

I don't know how long it will take me to complete Survivor. I'm having enough trouble as it is progressing through Normal difficulty.

I'm going to try and get used to using objects and weapons that you pick up, rather than relying on my guns most of the time. I'll also need to learn to use stealth a bit more. I've found that quite a few times I've panicked when there's quite a few human enemies, so I'll either get caught trying to choke someone, or I'll go out guns blazing and end up using all my medical kits.

It's a steep learning curve, but it's worth it.

The online trophies shouldn't be there to begin with!

Totally agree. Most multiplayer trophies are usually either stupidly difficult to get or just take forever. From what I've read, a few of them seem to take quite a while to get, and now after the update, even longer? I think that's the part of this game I'm not looking forward to, grinding online for a trophies. I much prefer Single Player orientated trophies.

 

[wicken]

I went from the easy playthrough to survival+ and it's harder than I thought, I knew that I was going to die a lot but I never expected to replay +50 times one single part of

Spoiler

Dowtown against the humans that are patrolling the streets before you meet up with Sam and Henry

.

 

[dr_slump]

Try to play as stealthy as possible. It's much easier then.

 

[Cragapple]

I thought survivor was no where near as hard as I thought it would be, you aren't forced to participate in every gunfight, quite a few I just ran through them without dying. The scarcity of the resources is what brings the challenge imo, the difficulty itself was nothing too bad at all.

I beat Survivor + in under 9 hours, don't remember how many deaths I had but it wasn't a ton, only died a few times in the final fight.

 

[Eks]

Well, I must say. If you haven't completed it yet, don't read.

Spoiler

What a game. Just finished a playthrough on YouTube, and while I'll get to the ending in a minute, I must say that I really enjoyed the game's story. I can honestly say I've never been, well, "attached" to characters like this before. Joel and Ellie - definitely in my Top 10 Favorite Characters list. It was nice seeing their relationship change. From Joel not seeing her as much more than a mission objective, to caring enough to save her from being killed. But the ending makes me wonder. Did Joel lie to her because he thought it was the right thing to do? Did he think that she'd hate him for not letting her die? Then again, Ellie DID say at one point "After all we've been through, it can't be for nothing." I dunno what to think of the ending, honestly. I mean, it was such a cliffhanger, and as much as I wanted to see an Epilogue of Joel teaching Ellie how to swim or play guitar, I think the ending fit, and as PewDiePie said, "I feel like I lost 2 friends today." And with that, I have to give this game a 5/5.

 

[MeanElf]

For me the ending felt like this:

Spoiler

Did Joel lie to her because he thought it was the right thing to do? Yes, I think so, plus it seemed from the one scientist's recording he finds, that they had no guarantee of achieving anything. There was the implication that several immunes had already died for nothing - so I think it was a white lie; easier than trying to explain it all to Ellie and risk her becoming alienated. In essence, what he said was true, even if it was slightly stretched.

 

[Eks]

That makes sense. But what do you guys about this :

Spoiler

I think Ellie knew she was going to die. Notice how distant she seemed when they arrive at the hospital, she seems as if she knows something Joel doesn't, not to mention the doubtful "Okay" she gives Joel after he says "I swear." at the end, leading me to believe that she does indeed know the truth. It's either that, or survivor's guilt that made Ellie ask "Is everything you said about the fireflies true?" Who knows. Maybe all the speculation about the ending is what NaughtyDog intended.

Spoiler

If she knew all along, her behavior when they invistigate the Science lab in Colorado makes no sense. She was clearly upset when they discovered that the Fireflies weren't there. She was worried about the same thing happening in Salt Lake City.

 

[Imari]

Spoiler

She's been looking for some way to throw her life away in a blaze of glory since her friend died and she didn't. She thought she'd found that in the Fireflies. Presumably, that's why she spaces out at parts of the narrative. Whether she consciously considers that she might actually die at the hands of the Fireflies, she wants to hand her life over to someone else.

She asks if everything he said about the Fireflies is true at the end, because she was out of it the whole time. One moment she's drowning underwater, then next Joel tells her that the Fireflies don't need her and they're going home. Pretty suspicious, really. Did this guy figure out her death wish and stop her before she could reach the Fireflies?

There's a bunch of explanations for why Joel did what he did, and that's sort of the beauty of it. Whatever resonates for you will fit. Did he do it because it would have been morally wrong (lol, after assassinating a hundred or so Fireflies to get her out)? Because the Fireflies turned out to be evil buggers? Because he's become attached to Ellie? Because of his daughter that he couldn't save?

Great ending. And like all great endings, there is no clear answer.

 

[wicken]

Spoiler

I personally believe Joel did the right thing because if you remember, Ellie asked Joel if he could teach her how to swim when all this was over and also how they could go where ever they wanted to when all this was over which sounds like Ellie wasn't aware that they were going to do surgery on her in order to remove the fungus.
Joel and Ellie also grew a strong relationship with each other, Joel became like a dad for Ellie and Ellie like a daughter for him so just letting her go like that is obviously a hard thing to do.

 

[Eks]

Regardless, I really enjoyed this game. I could go on and on about how much I love it, but I'll just say it's one of my personal picks for GOTY 2013.

Does anyone experience a glitch where the load percentage keeps going down to 0.00%?

 

[m8h3r]

Does anyone experience a glitch where the load percentage keeps going down to 0.00%?

Mine used to do that. It would take like 5-8 minutes to load the game. Such a drag. It would keep dropping to 0.00% for the first 3-4 mins.

 

[Tzun]

For me its drops if i press the PS button. So if i stay on the screen it should be fine.

 

[wicken]

Enjoy guys.

wicken: Thanks for the vid, been waiting for it!
