I am less than 2hs of play and I am droooooping this for being BORING.

 Beautiful, yes, sophisticated, yes, but that just doesnt make a good or a great game...aka_sabretooth

Didn't try this in my first playthrough but in the second (also on Easy) after finishing the tilted building I sent Joel back in.  Usually I think you'll find a door that doesn't open or rubble that blocks your path or a ledge you cannot climb up.  Instead only a short ways in Joel reached a passage opening where the graphics was not drawn and you could look down and around to nothing.  The sort of glitch where if Joel had stepped off into nothing he would have fallen who knows how long and could have looked up and watched TLoU 'world' he was in get smaller and smaller.  Not something to play with further given some uncertainty as to where the game would have restarted from.  I do not like repeating ANY of the fights over again just for the fun of it--none of them are 'fun'.

My favorite is Susan!

I will save a game at a certain point, but when I go to load it  the game starts where I began, not where I ended. The Autosave never stops, and this means I have to do the part over again. This is frustrating as I will save after a fight only to find that  it will not load AFTER the fight, but  BEFORE. Any one else haveing this problem?musbou

That's okay... It doesn't change my feeling on the subject.  Only one person immune to a virus affecting the whole world human population is like believing there is no other intelligence in the universe but here on Earth.

If you listen to the recording you find towards the end it says that there were more like Ellie that they killed to create a vaccination, but failed to create anything. So Ellie was just going to be another victim. It seems to me that they didn't have the knowledge or equipment to truly create a vaccine. Therefore, Joel wasn't being selfish, he saved her life. Ellie should have been given the choice... not kidnapped and killed.DarkRebel47

[Drat--GameSpot apparently retired my avatar from Dreamfall so I must find a new one.]

I wonder how much TLoU pushes the PS3 and how much 'better' it might appear on the PS4?  I've played and finished one time so far with no hiccups or worse.  How can we get such a variety of little problems with the game developed for just one machine?  Are there variations in the hardware that make a difference?

Are saving stations a thing of the past?

It realy brings it down that  Never-dying games like Bioshock dont have this feature and the Last of Us should had this feature as well, even if it is not the same as Bioshock with the Echo chambers which suck.Wakka4

After going through the entire game one time and now getting ready to replay it over a second time I really like not being concerned about when every auto-save is made.  I don't need them--I don't miss them.

If Joel had told Ellie the truth right then and there she probably would have turned around and try to make her way back to the Fireflies on her own.  Besides, she could feel he was lying to her.  Swearing means nothing.  She will unwind from the whole ordeal in time and likely meet new friends her age.  How could Ellie be the ONLY one immune?  More likely no one would be immune period or many more really are immune too which would negate some of Joel's lie.  Also likely someone might develop a vaccine from Ellie WITHOUT killing her outright and then trying to figure out the vaccine.  Ellie grew up a little and Joel mellowed a little on their journey but both realized the bottom line was kill or be killed and maybe desiring to sacrifice your life to save the old misearable human race wasn't the right way and wouldn't work.  Frankly I'd envy the Earth losing 60% of its population.  If the survivors hold-up long enough the infected will all die off with the virus disappearing.

My take without reading any of your own.

My turn...  Complete 100%; 36hrs 5mins; 121 Collectibles

Four hours short of 40hrs.  The ending was a good one for me but Joel didn't have to make the big lie to Ellie.  For one thing, Ellie couldn't possibly be the only one immune.  For another you don't have to do brain surgery right off the bat because you've determined somehow there is no other way.  Joel and Ellie could have a lengthy discussion about some of the 'facts of life' but neither of them were that open to it.

So here is what makes it about as perfect as it comes for me at least...  They settle into their new lives at Tommy's...  Ellie finds other kids and lets go of the friends she has lost.  They discover a way of engineering a vaccine that doesn't hurt Ellie at all.  Months later still they both sit down and talk and Joel tells her the truth about what really happened at the Fireflies.  Ellie tells Joel she knew it all along and that under the circumstances she is _very_ glad the way it played out and the decision he made.

--The End--
