It's me, the guy who loved that part and wished there were more areas like that.

Same, when they did that sorta thing in Lost Legacy it was the best part of that too.

I want a TLOU roguelike where they've a fully fleshed out city like that section, where the resources and enemies are randomised every run, and you're trying to survive gradually ramping up threats, trapping areas to have safe zones for sleeping, it could be ludicrously fun to play.

See also: people using the word 'plothole' to describe characters not being perfectly rational or making a mistake.

There's no way that character would get surprised in a cutscene! They should have used the Totally Real Power Of Hearing Through Solid Walls To See Enemy Silhouettes to avoid it! PLOTHOOOOOLE

It does get a bit absurd how many times a cutscene starts with you going through a narrow passage or noisily opening a door, just to be ambushed.

It's always worth remembering that Listen mode is purely a gameplay conceit and it's absolutely fine if people get ambushed while doing something else.

Yeah, but after the third time your main character really should be like "Narrow passage? Better throw a nail bomb down there first just to be safe."

Oh dear, the noise of the explosion brought an army of infected down on you! Now you're ambushed!

That, or you blow yourself up when a random infected catches you and the bomb at the same time.

my point is people... are just loving stupid...

I concur.

I've been replaying on Light to get all the collectibles and man, I missed so many obvious ones. I had felt good about a 75% collection on my first run but no! I was bad! And dumb!

The switch-off is not new, it's just happening in a big name game getting attention.

All I can think of is MGS2, LA Noire, and the first TLOU.

E: And maybe Inside

MGS 2 for sure, two decades ago. I never played LA Noire, are you not Phelps the whole time? First TLOU you're Ellie for about an hour. I think Left Behind is literally longer. Inside, sure. That was pretty great.

I haven�t gotten to the back half but you definitely get ammo for the silenced SMG as Ellie in NG+, and it�s friggin� rad.

Just like the first game, ammo placement�s dynamic, but you can custom difficulty it to make sure you�re loaded for bear at all times, which has been extremely fun.

I've also noticed since I got all skills and weapon upgrades the game no longer spawns supplements or parts. The item sonar ping is actually very clever too: it doesn't show items you're full on. You're full health? Doesn't show the candy bars around.

We should do something special for it. Like shivs only, or protect the veeg. Or send threatening letters to Druckman for factions 2

Each team could have a VG to protect...

Seedge: Jun 15, 2009; Hey, buddy.

For the smokes and hugs round, you'd need to have everyone run a build with no perks. Otherwise the bomb radius and self smoke immunity perks will make it unfair on those who don't own the DLC perks.

Could have the VGs run an empty perk build as VIPs, too.

Seedge: Jun 15, 2009; Hey, buddy.

I like the Save The Veeg idea. Can also do an All Bows Game, no one would run out of ammo for a change.

Seedge: Jun 15, 2009; Hey, buddy.

Looking for feedback on this thought:

VIP mode. (VG IS PARAMOUNT)

VG and LadyVG have the same build. Shorty. Hawkeye 3. Strategist. Sharp Ears. The... downed health skill whose name I forget.

Each team splits up. One person is the VG bodyguard. Other two hunt the enemy VG.
Bodyguard has first aid training, reviver.
Hunters can have anything they like, but should remember...

Game is lost when your VG is *Special Executed* or Executed with a melee attack. Gotta confirm that kill to win. Once they confirm, round is ended, onto a new map, new teams, new roles.

How's that sound?

I thought the 22nd was the day we were doing the special long stream with all the fancy rules

Correct, but that's why I'm floating ideas now, to hammer them out into decent ones.

Also Shutterpunch still scares me

I feel bad for ducking out early especially cuz I had a really good round in the financial plaza but that round in the high school where shutterpunch just absolutely destroyed me and got 17 kills for the round I just kinda noped out of there. Yikes

That's okay buddy, it let Snacky get in anyway. You can be on Punch's team next week

I�m about to finish up my first 12 week Faction journey. I�ve not bought any of the DLC, though I�ve been owned plenty by the launcher and tac shotgun.

What DLC is worth investing in? My loadout has been the ultimate support dweeb - Crafter 3, First Aid 2, Collector 1, Revolver (empty longarm).

I�d actually like to start killing people, any suggestions for perks/weapons/DLC that I should take a look at?

Buy 'em all. They're all fun. I love Grenade Launcher with Explosion Radius, Damage Marker and Hawkeye 3 to paint the entire team with potatoes.

The Enforcer is a fantastic handgun you can use as a primary weapon.

The Crossbow is fantastic for annoying your friends on TLOUSDAY.

Idea for 2SDAY. Hush.

Each team has a seeker and 3 hiders. Hiders aren't allowed to have Covert Training, but they ain't allowed to fight, so loadout doesn't matter much.

Each round of Supply starts with the seekers turning around for 90 seconds. Hiders... hide. Seekers then go find them. Once all three hiders have a death on the board, that team lost. Seekers can use whatever they want, and I don't think they should kill each other but that's why I'm looking for feedback.

It's not possible to make a loadout without weapons is it?

I feel like hiders should be able to lay bombs down at least, to make the stakes a little higher since they can't shoot back

No, but you can feel free to bring any weapons since you won't be using them. Bombs would be fine, I think, as it would incentivise hiders to go out and get boxes for stuff, but my concern would be a hider killing a hider for score tracking. If all three hiders have a death and the seeker has three downs and executes, that's easy to track.

Tried to add you to our PSN group, but it wouldn't let me. Think you might need to change your privacy settings to allow others to add you to groups.
