The Last of us ruined

By the Clickers. Seriously I hate these cheap beep enemies. They kill the game for me. I've been doing nothing but cursing for 30 minutes now.

They cheat. I tested it. I monitored the walking pattern on one of them. I sat absolutely still in the room and the Clicker ever so SLIGHTLY changed it's pattern so that it walked right in to me.

And never mind that. How about when you CAREFULLY stalk one of them for like 3 seconds only for them to conveniently change direction, and they'll repeat that behaviour OVER AND OVER again.

It doesn't matter how much you sneak, they WILL hear you.

Yeah, this is whining. I am venting because if I continue cursing out loud my neighbour will call an insane asylum.

End of rant 

You need to sneak slower.  That's all.

This post makes me love the game even more.

Youre doing it wrong.

I snuck up on a dozen of those things and shived it. Ive also snuck past a bunch of them. In fact the game even tells you that when you sneak you still make noise, if you move very slowly they can still hear if, if they start to notice you that you need to stop and wait for them to pass.

And yeah, they change direction because its supposed to be challenging. What fun would it be if they never heard you and only walked in one back and fourth pattern over and over again?

Sounds like youre just pissed that game isnt something you can walk through with no effort.

To be honest I found the clickers to be too unchallenging in this game. in the early trailers I thought they would be really tough to deal with, but you can simply throw bottles and sneak past them. Making them blind did make them unique, but it removed a lot of the challenge.

Hmm.. I remember having trouble only once with a bloater, which was the part when you had to switch on the power and run to the door with the keycard, but that's only because it was dark and narrow. The bloaters were generally quite easy too, a molotov or two and some sneaking generally does the trick. I wish the infected were more challenging. Perhaps survivor is a lot more difficult.

Its not ruined by the clickers, its ruined by the fact that after I have taken out a few bad guys and have no ammo or no health, Ellie magically throws me 6 shotgun shells or a health pack, completely ruining the tension. She does this every time! :x

LOL yeah shes done it for me. Not Ammo but Health packs. I'm currently going thru survival mode and shes really aggressive. She throws more bricks and even jumps on a hunters back while stabbing him too. Shes helped get me out of alot of james that for sure.

As for those Clickers you really need to make use of those bottles. If your playing on Survival don't waste a Shiv on them. Just Don't. Your going to hate those times you should've saved a Shiv for those doors that only unlock with them.

Nengo_Flow

No, I first played through on hard with listen mode off, and am now replaying on survival. She seems to do it everytime. Always 6 shotgun shells over any other bullets too. 

The worst is when a health pack randomly appears in my inventory and there is a 'ding' noise. Ellie doesnt even mention she has found a pack, I just assume its her thats found one as she normally comments on it like 'here have some ammo' or something.

MiguelNoche

Yeah, I played through the game on Hard difficulty, and I found the clickers to be the easiest enemies to deal with... as long as you sneak really slow. I didn't bother killing any of them unless I had to, and saved the shivs for shiv doors.

[QUOTE="Jshoelace"]

[QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"] WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She NEVER did that for me. In fact I never knew she could even do that. Are you playing on easy on something? Cuz I have never heard or seen that in all the TLoU vids and reviews or player commentating. I've played the story 3 times already and I have never had that happen.Nengo_Flow

[QUOTE="mep69"][QUOTE="JasonDarksavior"] I don't think I'll ever forget that part in the game ... Really creepy.Justforvisit

Yeah that's what I did, it's still pretty terrifing though. As soon as I pulled the power chord thing I just made a quick dash for the door, and whilst I was sprinting the bloater just jumped out in front of me. I actually screamed.. :lol:

This post makes me love the game even more. 

abnergoinbig

[QUOTE="MethodManFTW"][QUOTE="Nengo_Flow"] I never seen or heard of that. Maybe its cuz your playing on hard??? IDK i havent played on hard, only on medium. But thats crazy, not once ever has she given me anything.Nengo_Flow

I played through the first time on Easy and she never gave me anything.

Then I played through on Hard and she would give me stuff when I was running out. I'm pretty sure it's when you're running really low on supplies... I'm guessing they do it because of the auto-save points. You could get stuck in a near impossible spot where your health was low and you didn't have any ammo and had to get through a really tough situation.

If you're not using your shotgun than you have ammo (just maybe not for the gun you want). She was giving me stuff when I only had 1 or 2 bullets left for all my guns combined -- which happens on Hard or Survivor because they don't give you much ammo or supplies at all.

They're existance in the game kind of kills the pacing since they only appear a few times and are there just to force a kind of boss battle here and there.

As for the clickers, yeah, I find them kind of useless.  Unlike a hard game like Dark Souls that rewards skill and punishes laziness, the clickers just kind of do whatever, which wouldn't be an issue if they didn't instantly kill you.  Really, I thought it was a lot more fun having to be stealthier around the human enemies, as their movements weren't so sporadic and it allowed for more strategy over luck.
