The Last of Us

[Benji]

Found a little easter egg, don't know if it has already been mentioned or if anybody else found it, but...

On the toy store right after you meet Henry and Sam, there's an Uncharted board game and a Jak & Dexter board game.

Cool stuff.

My favourite easter egg is a newspaper that has Justin Bieber playing Drake in an Uncharted film.

just curious, in multiplayer what is everyones... strategy when playing with randoms and not friends? just go rambo style? try to just work with what they do?

I just basically try and follow the best ranked player on my team to provide support with my hunting rifle and healing. If I'm the best ranked player, I tend to do what I want to and try collecting shitloads of loot so that I can get molotovs, powered up melee weapons, and shivs.

Just reached Winter last night. I'm going to be pissed if all my loot is gone. Had some more problems with the game, too... so if you're going to cry about the game not being perfect, don't read the spoilers. >_>

Really didn't like the lack of functionality that happens when you're Ellie for the first time and sneaking past Clickers. I can understand the lack of loot, but I'd gotten used to being able to survive Clicker kills... and suddenly that's taken away? Even though Ellie has a BETTER knife than Joel? That pissed me off. It's like - okay, I get that they're trying to simulate a feeling of being less prepared because you're not Joel now, but to take away a well defined rule that I'd spent progress towards and not tell me is pretty shitty.

The hunting bit was lovely, though. And the scene before Winter...

Nah, fuck that, Ellie's part was one of the best

because you've had things taken away. Having to sneak around that lakeside area was fucking immense.

Depends. If you're all playing as a team then stick to your strengths and the loadout you're comfortable with. If everyone decides to go solo then pick a long range weapon and stay behind them. At least when they die you'll get an easy follow up down/execution. If my team is playing like that I aim for a 1:1 ratio as it's nigh on impossible to beat a well organised team by yourself.

Oh and molotovs. Craft lots of molotovs.

Oh, and best tip - if you can, always grab the loot box with the melee weapon (usually near the centre of the map). It is quite literally the difference between life and death in one on one confrontations.

[LL!]

I still haven't played this multiplayer. I guess I should.

I agree with Benji - had they made Ellie play just like Joel it would have been partly a waste of time. By making her play differently, it puts you in a different mindset. And although Ellie has a better built knife - it's still not a great knife, and she doesn't have the size that Joel has to stab 'em perfectly and bring them down to the ground.

You should, Survivor is way too much fun.

What he said, even the stealth kills take a while, and it can make all the difference between being spotted and getting away.

I love Survivor. What's your favourite map Benji? I really like the Dam but University is growing on me too.

[Benji]

Frozen lakeside is my favourite, great height and depth, and plenty of directional options, but Dam is a close second.

[Baddar]

I haven't played this online yet. When can Baddar and Benji re-unite?!

[LL!]

More importantly when can we play together, Benji? You know. Without Baddar.

[Baddar]

Fuck you, LL!

[Benji]

I'll be on tonight but have no mic at the mo. Will probably be on at weekebd too.

[ZJ Penn]

Just had the dumbest match in history. Dropped me in a game already 0-3 down, with a 2v4. Now everyone is hungry and sick and I didn't press a button.

[Ruki]

I just finished fall and....

Joel died?! Holy fuck! I did not expect that!

[LL!]

Oh, poor poor Ruki. Filled with childlike wonder.

[Baddar]

Tommy is totally Nathan Drake with a beard.

[Your Mom]

Just got the truck and did the bit after the truck. I am not budgeting my ammo at all but fuck it I'm surviving. Oh and forget clickers. Fuck those bloated ones! I hope I never see another one

Just light them on fire!

[Your Mom]

! I wasted like all my bullets!

[Benji]

Literally had the worst game of my life last night with ZJP, not a single kill or even down
