The Last of Us

[LL!]

It's not like they're ready and willing to kill you. The generator turns off and a few of them come down because they need to get as many eyes out for any clickers and stuff to come out and mess with them fixing the generator.

I never felt like this game ever did a multi-person attack on Joel/Ellie without there being good reason and a lot of the rationale behind hordes of enemies has always been acceptable.

[Benji]

Yeah, with Uncharted it was usually a case of "go here, enemies find you, fight your way out", but with this, it's largely "enemies are already here for logical reasons" (blockade, hunters, the infected preferring the dark). Nothing like Uncharted in terms of ridiculous enemy arrivals at just the wrong moments.

[gunnar hendershow]

I'm at the ranch house, so much drama.

Joel is a big meaniehead!

[TKz]

Oh, yeah, totally, I get the rational behind it, but I guess it's kind of a compliment to the game that I'm sat here like "Why can't they just go away. ".

Have they given any explanation as to the infected preferring the dark? I understand there's a sewer level... and something that's always bugged me about zombie games and sewer levels is that generally, there's not that many people hanging out in sewers*. So why are there always so many down there?

God I wish there was some sort of infection that could affect Joel's brain so that he can die and not be mean anymore! Fucking meanie!

I don't think there is any evidence stating that they prefer the dark. The sewer ones are easily explained if you're a good little explorer like me or Dora.

[TKz]

Fucking Dora? How the fuck am I supposed to live up to that? Do I have a fucking monkey LL? Does it look like I have a fucking monkey?

[Benji]

They prefer the dark, presumably, because mushrooms do too, and a mushroom is the infection source.

They still appear in light, but for the most part they're in dark and/or damp areas.

This is a good answer. Why can't the rest of you be more like Benji?

[LL!]

Damp areas works more than the dark, I think. To be fair, most indoor places are dark due to lack of electricity.

Electric light doesn't matter. Sunlight is what matters. Most indoor places would be hit with sunshine due to windows and the such.

[LL!]

Yeah, but there are also 12 hours of darkness to account for.

Ordered

[Benji]

I'm not understanding what you mean?

[LL!]

I'm not understanding what you mean?

I honestly don't know what we're arguing about. I've had only half a brain in this argument and the other half has been dealing with a higher volume of phone calls at work than I'm used to.

[Benji]

Glad it's not just me without a clue here

[apsham]

A lot of the areas that you find infected make it seem like they've been blockade in there and the area has been neglected for anywhere up to 20 years.

I just finished the game and.. fuck man. Just fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. I've never had this kind of experience with a game.

[TKz]

Aaaaaaaaand Sewers. Fucking sewers man. For anyone playing the game for the first time... get the fucking Shiv/Clicker skill. Jesus, I wish I'd done that. What use is more health when you can be insta-killed!?

[LL!]

I'm at 97% and still don't have that skill.

[Benji]

After I got it, I never needed to use it.

[New Damage]

Fuck I hate this game.

It's fantastic.
