  • It's frequently too stressful to even sneak. I've been spending a lot of time hiding. In my defence I'm playing it on the hardest available difficulty and have turned off all the hints.

    Anyone done that flooded hotel basement yet? [Shivers]

    Top marks to Naughty Dog for not having the game pause when you hit select to bring up the inventory/crafting screen. Really adds to the tension when you need to desperately knock up a med kit and time doesn't simply freeze. Impressed by the human AI as well. Seems they typically patrol individually until they notice something's up, after which they group together and become much harder to deal with. Unless you've got a molotov or two handy :)

    No doubt in my mind that's it's way up there with the best games I've ever played. Also amazing what they've squeezed out of the ancient PS3, even though the frame rate does drop occasionally. Even despite playing technically better looking games on the PC, I don't think any have come close to matching the atmosphere the environment generates.
