I urge you to play the first game. It's a masterpiece. Otherwise this game you'll be missing so much of the story and emotional connection with the characters and your experience will not be as good playing part 2. it's not a long game, 14 hours, just play it on easy

Yeah play it on easy, I'm on normal and I'm finding it a bit of a bastard.
How far are you in? It gets easier as you go.
Just met Bill.
Sick as hell of the combat already, seems to just do what it wants half the time, guns are pointless pretty much too.
Honestly stick with it, it will be worth it. Every aspect of the game develops after that. Customization, character development and pace. I've very rarely I replay games but have done with this one. Second half of the game is so much stronger.
I think it's usually around this point I quit, must be because of the mechanics though, for it being a "stealth" game I feel it should have had cover to cover running and an actual button to go up against cover, not just going to cover if crouched. Still dislike the way it sorta forces your playthrough style too, and always seems to give you one less shiv than you need.
Gotta stick with it though because I am clearly missing a great story and am always out of the loop when people talk about it.
It's the best story in any game I've played. You need to see how it develops, incredible. There is a reason I keep going back to it every few months.I think it's usually around this point I quit, must be because of the mechanics though, for it being a "stealth" game I feel it should have had cover to cover running and an actual button to go up against cover, not just going to cover if crouched.

Very excited for this.
Aye, if either I don't improve at the combat, or nothing changes to help, I'll probably just do it on easy and go through story only.
TLOU was a great experience due to the story and world/atmosphere. It's gameplay was just functional and enough to get the job done. Then again, I don't think Naughty Dog do great gameplay anyway. Uncharted didn't make it's mark on the merits of gameplay either.I think it's usually around this point I quit, must be because of the mechanics though, for it being a "stealth" game I feel it should have had cover to cover running and an actual button to go up against cover, not just going to cover if crouched.

That's what held TLOU for me back and hence it wouldn't make my all time list. But definitely an excellent game due to its strengths.
Combat looks a lot better in the sequel base on clips I've seen.
TLOU is a game that needs to be played on the harder difficulties to get the best out of the gameplay experience. I remember enjoying the actual gameplay far more when I did it on survivor after already doing normal.
I remember nothing of the story from the first game.
Yep, shit tons of people are boycotting it due to the sjw angle they seem to have taken.
A part of me wants it get rave reviews just to see the ensuing meltdown.
This is more of a chore than a joy so far. Really hate the entire combat setup, a clicker catches you and you're dead. feck off with that bullshit, seems random to when they hear you too. Same with the normal zombie things, sometimes ya can walk 2ft Infront and they won't notice you, next time they see you from miles.
Something is massively wrong with this game for me, like combat was just a thought at the end that they tacked on.

Crouch and walk slower for the clickers. I went through the game multiple times without ever firing a shot unless I really had too. Just use your shotgun for the clickers. Don’t worry about running out of ammo on easy or normal. The game usually gifts you when your low. What part are you on anyway?
Judging by your posts in this thread, I'd just stop playing. You're clearly not enjoying it, why punish yourself?
Umm, just going through some type of school I think with bill and Ellie? Not sure exactly, died multiple times earlier and went to play golf to relax, didn't work
I want to get the story down ready for the 2nd installment as it's had rave reviews (1st) and hoping the 2nd has improved combat. Just got the shotgun so that helps a bit.
Oh that’s one annoying part in the game. Just some molotovs for for the first group inside the school and save your heavy ammo for the big guy. Yeah that is the one part that’s a bitch for a first play through.Umm, just going through some type of school I think with bill and Ellie?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I wanted to play through 1 to get ready for 2 but I fecking hate the combat and gave up after a couple hours. But I really want to know the story as I'm still tempted with 2 as long as they've updated the combat a load.
This guy reviews for Digital Foundry. He had to delete the tweet because of the abuses that followed.
Also it seems there is custom difficulty also. Would be great as playing on Grounded mode was really annoying due to lack of resources.

With all the previews I have read, it is going to have 95+ Metacritic score for sure.
I have to echo some of the comments in here and say I just couldn't get on with the gameplay in LOU 1 and have tried 3 times to get into it and I don't think it's for me. I may try again one day and just switch it to easy and play for the story.
What's with the 'political' issues though? Is it just because the girl in it is gay or is there more stuff that's irritating incels and anti-sjws?

Most hate on it because of legit story issues, but it's much easier to put everyone in the same "SJW hate" basket I guess.
Now I've recently played through uncharted 4 and the gameplay in that is much improved and better than previous 3.
This for a game primed to get rave reviews.
It's still a Naughty Dog game and they usually get rave reviews. It would be a shame if it gets them because it truly deserves them but a small minority just wave it off and say it's because it's backlash against the online bullying.

From memory, the first game had a few positive female and BAME characters and Ellie was shown as being gay in the Left Behind DLC, which came with my copy.
I've dodged the leaks so, unless Joel has undergone surgery to become a woman and can now kill clickers with a stiletto heel, I don't get the fuss. Did they not play the original?

They won't actually explain what they mean. See below:
Has never been explained.
You think the accusations of agenda pushing directed at the game by a poster who has complained about SJWs might be related to the accusations of SJW agenda pushing that have been directed at the game? I dunno, sounds pretty far-fetched.
It was explained all right, but while you keep connecting the word "agenda" exclusively with "SJW", you will be blind to it. Ignore how the story is trash and just keep at the agendas. 
Saying the story is trash vs you not liking it, is different esp. based on just the plot and not knowing how exactly it plays out (btw I've seen the leaks). I for one like the direction they are taking the story. If its not executed well then it will be different.It was explained all right, but while you keep connecting the word "agenda" exclusively with "SJW", you will be blind to it. Ignore how the story is trash and just keep at the agendas.
There are also people who liked Season 8 of GoT...
There are also people who didn't want Heath Ledger as Joker because he had played a gay cowboy ...
Yes there are, which doesn't have anything to do with what you quoted. You went from shite stories to random stuff.
You liking the direction doesn't make it any less shit. I like many terrible movies but that doesn't make them any less terrible.
Please point us these explanations because, I and many others have asked you to clarify what you meant by agenda pushing yet all of us seem to in the dark about your true meaning with the post.It was explained all right, but while you keep connecting the word "agenda" exclusively with "SJW", you will be blind to it. Ignore how the story is trash and just keep at the agendas.
Except I've never once said SJW. And if you look back on my posts, you won't find me accusing others of being on either side of it either. Just because geko here keeps going on and on about it, don't for one second be fooled into thinking any different, it's a classic smokescreen tactic.
I've merely asked over and over what the "agenda pushing" actually meant, which he dodges every time. Since he's so anti-sjw talk (which again HE brings up), it's a fair question.
just saying I'd let it play out before making an overarching judgement again esp. knowing only the headlines and not the complete story.
Yes, I have many tactics, I am a tactic master, yo are fecking ridiculous.
Maybe you didn't bring it, but you keep quoting others who keep connecting it and asking for explanation with their SJW quotes, so don't act dumb.

It's very simple too: What did you mean by "all the agenda-pushing". I'm not sure why you can't answer it, and with your constant refusal it's fair to wonder if you haven't got an answer that doesn't pose further questions of your subsequent posts in here.
