great game, playing for the first time. you can really feel the tension when exploring and suddenly you start hearing sounds from infected.
i'm up to the part where you meet
bill after the snare refrigerator trap
.
also i took advice from this thread and i'm playing on hard with listen mode off. of course there is no need to upgrade the ability if you dont have it on?

Is the MP bugged in this game or do people just not play? Been waiting 5 mins for a game and still nothing (parties or no parties)

Servers are getting slammed, just keep trying. Also I recommend trying Interrogation, usually manages to find a game of that mode for me when the other 2 aren't working.

From ND Facebook.
FYI -- We are readying another Live Update later to launch later today for ‪#‎TheLastOfUs‬ Remastered on PS4 to address those matchmaking delays we've been hearing about.
We'll continue to keep an eye on it and make more updates if needed.

Yeah it seems you have to approach them from behind, they detect you even in crouch L3 from the front, but they dont from the rear WHICH MAKES NO SENSE since they are sound based and cannot see.

Actually doesn't that make perfect sense ? The clicks are coming from their mouth, so they'd bounce much stronger from objects in the front as opposed to the back. Picture the sound waves, (green if you like) going out from the mouth and bouncing back.

Just beat Grounded. Woo!

Whoever changed the last checkpoint to be ten minutes long, I give you all the middle fingers.

This black crush issue keeps getting worse. I cranked contrast, sharpness, TV brightness, and in game brightness all up to max and it didn't bring out any more shadow detail, just washed out dark areas. I'm not on RGB Full either. It's impossible for me to see anything in one of my favorite areas right now. Tweeted ND but no response yet.

Quick question about the trophies

spoiler tagged just in case:
is the joke book trophy not in this version cause I went through all of them and just did the final joke book scene and nothing popped up.
I am playing on Grounded mode and I don't know if that factors into why it didn't pop up.

The checkpoint system in Grounded is horrible. Having to replay an entire section is fine, but jumping me back to the previous encounter to the one I died in is excessive. It's not making the game harder - it's making it more of a chore.

I'm cool with one hit kills from basic human enemy melees, and all the other insane tweaks they added that genuinely change the game's difficulty - but checkpointing is the type of thing you have to be so careful with to not irritate players. And colour me irritated.

I dunno, I kind of liked it aside from a few particularly nasty ones. It makes your heart race because you know if you fuck up you'll be sent all the way back to ten minutes prior.

That's unfortunate. It's also rather odd.

So I'm having some trouble with the EU DLC. Whenever I choose any of the DLC, it just says "choose a version" then gives me three options with them all saying "Download game pack to PS4". When I do that, nothing loads. It all says it's purchases, yet I can't download it and none of it is in my download list. I have the season pass. Any ideas?

I just bought the Sony Gold Wireless Headphone to try out Last of Us PS4. But I was wondering how do you use the newly released Last of Us Audio Settings?

Go to the PSN store and download the Headset companion app. From there select the Gold Headsets and then choose TLoU preset.

I'm three hours in and normal is way too easy. I don't remember it being this easy.

I'm debating starting over on hard or survival.

Take a brick, smash the first one on the head and crouch-walk to the next room as soon as you do. Don't move and the clicker will go away. It will only walk towards the first location it heard you kill the first clicker. Now either stealth your way out or find another brick to smash a clicker with.

There is no reason to kill the clickers in the museum. You can perfectly escape that whole situation by just tossing a well-placed bottle or brick.

Oh... I thought I can only throw bricks, I didn't know I can melee them, I shiv'd one and tried shooting another but I got bit, so I tried it again and backed myself into a corner so I can't have them sneak up on me, but they ate those bullets and got me anyway, I fair better against humans in this game, I came into this blind thinking it will be like uncharted lol

Hard is still pretty easy. Do it.

Or don't. The first few hours are pretty slow, so you may as well just tick it up in the Options menu from where you're at.

No, leave all the hints and tips on. They're important tutorials. Hard/Listen Mode Off is a solid way to go. It's what I'm doing on my second playthrough right now and it's probably "the way the game is supposed to be played".

I just beat the game for the first time.

I thought the last level, the hospital one was a bit disappointing. I don't know what I expected but it became a tad bit repetitive, and way to easy once you got the Assault Rifle. I beat the game on Hard difficulty and I plan on playing through it again on Survival after I beat Left Behind. The story was captivating, although a bit predictable towards the end. What I really liked about the game was the balance between calm areas and action heavy areas. Anyway, I clocked in at 13h hours and 27 minutes. A perfect length.

For everyone saying the Gold's are they way to go, I disagree.

I bought these, the original 2011 stereo headset with VSS is incredibly better.

>Better mic position
>louder overall sound
>incredible bass

After buying the Gold, and then returning to these; it was a HUGE improvement, and I am really disappointed in the Gold.

I'll tell you, though, the lack of the bass in the Gold really makes the crack of the guns sound much better. Gunshots are much sharper and more piercing than the other headset I was using with more bass.

The positional audio effect when a bullet whizzes directly past your head is remarkable.

Among video games, I think Battlefield 4 does the best job at accurately simulating what it sounds like to get shot at, while The Last of Us most accurately represents the chaos of what it feels like to get shot at.
