  1. Thought I had a chance of collecting most of the collectibles in The Last of Us. I looked up my collection... and I only have a little over half the amount in the game. Not sure if I even want to use a guide because I'd hate to make this game a chore just for unlockables and trophies.

      Collectible guides are for second or subsequent playthroughs, and if it starts to feel like a chore just stop.

      yep. never been a fan of collectibles because it tends to eventually feel like a chore.

      But what else are they going to add to keep you from getting easy platinums?

  2. Yes, I get to read all the spoilers now! Ok, now my own spoilers! First, ending: As for how the title actually works into the content of the game, I always saw it like this: "The Last of Us" is presenting the various character types to the user. The "last of us" being dwindled down to all those survivors and what they'll do, and become, to make it in the new world.
  3. I don't really want to rush through Last of Us, but I'm probably not going to be able to play again until Monday. I should be almost done anyway, and quite frankly this has become my favorite PS3 game.

      Aye. It is a good game. I've gotten so use to games not living up to the hype, but Last of Us some how surpasses the hype.

      But good call, I could have blazed through it last weekend but I savoured it, like a fine wine.

  4. Beraahh?! It looks so much like the crappy included 360 headset I guess I assumed the Xbox One was going to do the same. Man, using the Kinect as a mic for multi would be like using the PS Eye: Bad.
  5. Even though I have my own amazing headset, I'd say Xbone does win in the department of "included" headsets. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/21/xbox-one-headset-revealed Of course, I'm sure that's what also justifies the $499 price. Perhaps Sony's included headset is meant to suck to motivate consumers to buy the expensive PlayStation certified headsets? (Well, besides keeping cost down.)
  6. Oh gawd, inadvertant flashback to how that was a thing.
  7. It's a late 90's anime, but it takes a lot of the mannerisms of 90's anime that take some time getting use to again.
  8. Bunkering down and watching all of Trigun. It's the typical 26 episode series, but for the life of me I've only seen (maybe) six episodes.
  9. Monsters University is getting generally good reviews. After Brave being alright, I'm hoping MU can be better and give hope to my concern that Pixar is rotting from the inside-out.

      Then, avoid MU and wait for Despicable Me 2 to come out. I love the first one and will be at this sequel opening day.

      I thought Despicable Me 1 was okay, but it didn't really go anywhere. It was more like a collection of old 1940s shorts than a movie.

      As someone that played the Incredibles game, I can confirm that it was in fact shit. For example, remember how at the end of Incredibles (spoilers) the family is finally united to face a villian? This represents how they are finally unified after spending the entire movie fighting with one another.

       

      In the video game Mr.Incredible tells his family to go because it's too dangerous.

  10. Do stats and stuff carry over when you start a new game? I'm looking at the trophies, and at around 60% completion, I don't rightly see how I could gather enough pills to upgrade every ability/stat. I mean, I've been scavenging very well up until maybe around the last half hour when it made more sense to run than dork around with enemies.
  11. We all know Sarah Greene used her womanly charms to lure a lovestruck PlayStation addict into earning all her Platinum Trophies. My money is on our own CowboyPoet.
  12. You know, I've been seeing it said that gamers' voices have been heard, but I don't feel like this is a "heard voice" moment. Microsoft was being pretty stubborn about implementing these restrictions, so much so that they developed quite the attitude when faced with all the criticism and backlash from an online presence. I honestly think that if it weren't for the harsh reality of countless consumers flocking to their competitor and actually looking at how many were swearing off the Xbox brand (all the trade-in's), Microsoft would still be where it was. That isn't listening, that's covering your ass. If Microsoft was the listening type, they would have had a different E3 conference. No, they stuck to their intentions and wanted the consumers to listen to them. To tell them what consumers should want and why it's the future of entertainment. Of course, that's how many industries work: paving "the future" as they see it. If this were truly a "heard voice" moment, it would be more of an open forum as to how Xbone can adapt to a realistic consumer and what they feel restricts their experience and expectations of a next-gen console.
  13. Turn on hotel generator. SSHHHHHHREEKKKKKKK KEEEEEEEE KKEEEEEEE KEEEEEET Oh fuuuuuuuuu....... People have been saying this is a good "return to survival horror," but honestly, this is pure survival. I don't think we have many games to compare in that genre, but this must certainly be top of the line stuff.
  14. I'm surprised someone who lives in their dad's tool shed has such amazing Internet speeds! But anyway, I noticed on Amazon that there are different bundles which basically amount to an included game and a year of PS+. It bumps up the cost to $499. Considering that, if you already own a PS3, you might as well get PS+ now and buy a game separately to save money.
  15. Haven't finished the game, though I believe I'm a third way through. I've momentarily stop for the day because I experienced a glitch. It's after you meet Bill, or whoever in Lincoln. After you're out of the cemetery, you end up around those houses. I took out a common infected, Runners I believe they're called, and after smashing in his head, the screen went black and I got a tip on modding melee weapons. Then I find myself back at the last checkpoint. Suspicious, I checked my stats and it counted as a death. Anything similar happen to you guys?
  16. Oh wow, good thing I didn't download the new PS3 firmware. All I would need now is a bricked PS3 after finally obtaining a copy of The Last of Us.

    1. TCP

      Oh God that was scary! I had no idea, I updated earlier, it restarted fine and then I played about 4 hours of The Last of Us. Just double checked, works fine.

      I'd have been so sad :( I haven't backed up my PS in a long time... I know, I live dangerous.

      Dude, same here. I especially know the risk of not backing up regularly. Use to do it every month, or after finishing a AAA game.

  17. I prefer the way the Lego people and objects move in the trailer than any of the other Lego franchise media. All of those movie/TV Lego blocks move like wet noodles, so the end result is that people and everyday items have a weird aesthetic rather than a physical attribute.
  18. Do you live outside the US? Saturday delivery is standard here. Maybe it's regional? I've never had anything delivered by UPS on a Saturday. All I know is that when you have the option, on a Thursday or Friday, you'll get a Saturday delivery option that costs $8.99. The two times I've used it, FedEx delivered the package. Also, where I work, the rates for shipping with FedEx on a Saturday are insane, but I also tell the customers that the truck doesn't even come by the store on Saturday. EDIT: Oh, and Alex, I'm glad you'll get to play Anarchy Reigns... but half of the fun was the online multiplayer. After one month, it was hard to find online matches.
  19. Optimistic, but cautious. It could easily be enjoyable, or make someone cringe thinking about it for a week after viewing.
  20. So my Internet, while it has been working wonderfully for half the year, has been a bit sporatic the last two days. Xbone, do you see why I can't love you? I simply can't live up to your high standards! I can not delude myself into the Illusion of Control!
  21. If you ever get Saturday delivery on Amazon, it's through FedEX. Of course that's $8.99, but for holidays it's worth it. Otherwise, the Prime Free Two-Day Shipping is always through UPS. I've never had a problem until now. I feel like my local UPS facility handles boxes better, and honestly I've always been fearfully of games/movies in padded envelopes being handled by UPS. Sometimes I'll catch the delivery driver pulling up, and he'll basically dropped the package at the door. Makes me wish there were more Amazon lockers (whatever they're called) around.
  22. I owe GameStop and the person who pre-ordered, but never claimed. Yeah, it's not my Survival Edition that I pre-ordered months ago, but it's still the core game. For an extra $20, those bonuses looked amazing, but I highly doubt Amazon really could have replaced the game. Well, I'm told that certain facilities might keep a few extra copies held in case of accidents, but I honestly couldn't wait another week to have this game. I've already waited too damn long for everyone involved to tell me more excuses. Speaking of, I heard a third story as to why I never got my package, so here's everything I was told: 1. Couldn't find address, had to return to sender. (That's a load because there wasn't even an attempt to deliver.) 2. There needed to be a replacement. (Subtle way of saying it was damaged.) 3. The sender requested the package sent back. (I called Amazon, twice, and was never told by them they requested it back.) I went to UPS Customer Center today and that's what I was told. I didn't want to make a scene, but at the same time I wanted to clearly tell the gentleman what has been going on the last five days. He simply seemed adament about telling me they didn't do anything wrong. I wanted to at least make sure all the drivers knew the address because I had originally been told that was the issue. TL;DR: First World Problem of the Year for the PS3 Game of the Year.
  23. I don't think I'll be finding a copy of The Last of Us Survival Edition anytime soon. Damn UPS...

      Don't worry Atomsk... it's not like the game is totally and absolutely incredible........... I'm sure that Survival Edition won't be worth a ton in a few years........................

    3. Strangelove

      I.....dont put too much stock in collectors or premium editions of videogames or movies. Im sure youll find it for sale at Amazon in a few months like its been with almost every single collectors version of every game in the last few years. I bought my survival edition first day just because I wanted it the first day. Im sure itll depreciate in value soon. Plus, the artbook is getting a standalone release.

      For an extra $20, it was a good value. There's a lot of crap CE's out there, and I've been weary of them, but the Survival Edition struck a good balance. It's why the only copies available are resellers asking for nearly double the MSRP.

  24. I was told by Amazon that UPS was going to retoute my package back to me. Strange, it's not here yet. I called tonight and was informed that it was going back to Amazon and a "replacement" would then be shipped. So I'm thinking UPS has their heads up their own ass and can't get their story straight when they have a recipient who actively notices shipment notifications.

      It's not there fault, so tomorrow I'm going to the UPS Customer Center, no middleman (Amazon), and finding out whether my package was damaged, or they have new drivers who can't find my house. I mean, why wait on another package if this will happen again.

    3. Faiblesse Des Sens

      Faiblesse Des Sens

      Oh okay, thanks for the full story. But damaged, huh? Perhaps it got damaged in the truck and the guy just skipped your place on purpose? Who knows at this point.

    4. CorgiShinobi

      CorgiShinobi

      You're probably right about that. Honestly, I know I'm looking ridiculous getting this worked up about a game, but every single person I know who plays video games (with the exception of two) has this game and can't stop raving about it. Yet, here I am at the mercy of men in brown short-shorts.

  25. It's a weird feeling seeing your house on Google Street View. The trash cans were out, soI know what day of the week it was, and the image is only a year old. I'm use to Maps still showing the house as an empty lot.

    1. Papirus

      Papirus

      I've yet to experience that. Still an empty lot for me, the street's not even on street view.
