Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

Check it out; some good stuff....

Yeah, I have all the single player trophies so it's time to get on the road to Platinum and get the multiplayer trophies.

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

Yeah, those will be easy overall. I've gotten everything trophy wise form the main game except all shiv doors (always miss one) and missing all dialogue options.....

What's the gist of the MP gameplay? Are there different kinds of rules / options / etc?

I said I didn't plan on playing MP, and am still not sure if I will. But I'm getting that crackhead itch for any sort of TLOU gameplay.

Plus, I just signed up for PS+ to download Uncharted 3 and Metro, so I've got it available for MP use.

Gist in a nutshell: stealth type mechanics in a 'traditional' 4 versus 4 mode; several other game modes, but that's my fav....requires patience - lots of maps based on campaign locals, but heavily reworked

I haven't played mp yet but everyone seems to love it. Another reason why a sequel should be made haha.

I've never played the MP either. Partly because my upload speed isn't up to par. I remember trying to play online once upon a time, & I was lagging up the place

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

If you have lag, are you trying wired or wireless? Wireless on the Ps3 is not the best for me either; wired (of course), a much smoother experience

Maybe I'll give it a go. The last MP game I really got into was L4D, so I may as well keep the infected theme going.

Besides the "No Clan" option, any other recs for starting as a first timer? I don't want to drag the game down for 7 other people who have already played.

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

oh you reminded me of something: no infected in MP at all.....seems like a bummer, but its (MP) good!

I actually kind of figured it'd be like that. It'd be cool to have MP similar to infected vs humans in L4D, but I figured it would be more akin to the stealth MP in Splinter Cell.

Wireless. Cool for surfin' the web & downloading, but not so much for online gaming.

I don't mind though. I'd rather play with family & friends in the same room. Victory dances & smack talk are better live

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

I decided to rewatch Grounded again. Besides all the obvious "This is awesome" thoughts, two things kept popping up:

1) I spent the whole time wishing I could trap the writers and animators in a room, to just ask them thousands of questions.
2) For the actor that played Tommy - he just has this one long hair sticking out of his goatee that always drives me nuts. I just want to dive through the monitor with a pair of scissors or tweezers.

Re: 'The Last of Us' - new IP from Naughty Dog

And two points on the "music" section of Grounded:

1) When Neil and Gustavo are watching the scene where Sarah dies, and Neil finally just gives Gustavo a shove because he knocked the music out of the park - one of the most adorable things ever. I break into the biggest smile whenever I see that part.
2) I love Gustavo saying he doesn't really know how to read or write music. I always think it's awesome when someone can just be talented as hell without any proper schooling.

and a bonus point:

I love watching him play his homemade instruments - the PVC pipes, that weird flexible pipe thing - or even the de-tuned guitar.

OMG, I thought it was just me!! I kept wanting to tweez that thing.

I hear ya! Yeah, I play wirelessly on ps3, but always switch to wired to download anything....wired is quite a bit better. Well, if we see you online someday, we shall know!

That was a custom created by Kai himself, loaded with custom accessories. The one on ebay right now is just a bash by a collector using the Kai sculpt, so it might be able to be had for a reasonable amount.

Ended at $810. I'm happy with the Post Pandemic Edition statue and would never spend that much on something like this but is that typically the going rate? It has to be pretty costly considering time and parts/accessories to put together a custom figure like that.

There aren't many examples of Joel bashes being sold, honestly. This is the only auction I've seen besides the one that Kai sold himself, which didn't go for much more. The seller made a pretty penny with that sale, so congrats to him! I'm sure it wasn't a cheap bash but the amount invested was definitely significantly lower than the sale price.

So you have the statue?

Yeah, the one that came with the post pandemic version of the game.
