I was expecting that to happen, and I was glad it didn't. The ending we got was far more surprising, than that would have been.

I was hoping to get everything on my first run through since I had a good mental map of every location based off playing it obsessively on the PS3.
Nope. Pretty much missed everything in the first real sections of the game.
I'll need a guide in front of me if I'm going to pull off an all collectible run.
Yeah, Im going full on with guide on hand, shiv doors, conversations, pendants, and artifacts, all in one go and after Grounded + :O
I started the game playing on ground mode, then it became so tough that i switched back to hard difficulty. Anyway, when i was playing on grounded, if i couldn't go past a certain encounter, i was changing the difficulty to normal (or hard) when i die, and then i was switching back to grounded immediately, that way some random objects like crowbar, molotov etc would appear all over the place. Maybe that is what happening on those youtube videos.
But of course that would ruin your grounded trophy i guess.

One molly, then one smoke bomb will keep you covered until the door opens.
Interesting, might try to see if I can change my projector setting to limited. I've stopped playing it and I'm hoping it gets patched. I've tweeted ND a few times but no response :/
You could have just restarted the encounter. :|

I'm sure the vast majority already watched it, but some MP player shared it last night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9McMrknrmE
I'm watching it and it's great.

Wow. This game. Holy shit, so good.
Just finished my first playthrough - did hard + listen mode off (thanks gaf!) and it was so fucking intense all the way through for me. I was completely focused and on the edge of my seat for every single encounter, I can't even imagine what it must be like on survivor/grounded. I can't remember the last game I played where I felt like that. LOVED the combat gameplay and how much you could play around with it, especially stealth. I used my stuff so sparingly since I always thought I'd need it later on that I didn't even try the
once, lol. I had a ton of ammo left when I finished it.
Because I've wanted to play this so much ever since it was released (thought about getting a PS3 just for this), I've actively avoided all media surrounding this, read no reviews or write-ups, and going in completely blind was just amazing. Well except for that first 15 seconds teaser for the remastered version (
) and I'm a little bummed that ND robbed me of that moment. I never thought this would live up to my crazy high expectations, so I'm amazed that it completely surpassed them. I'm so grateful they remastered this.
I'm sure this is just repeating what other newcomers have been saying in this thread for 250+ pages but still...
Anyway, I should play the DLC but I then I need to go back in again on a higher difficulty.

Just finished Left Behind, that was damn sad almost had me in tears.
Will replay the full game soon, not sure if I'm gonna jump in at grounded or save it for a grounded+ run afterwards.

Amazing game!! It is better than with uncharted, maybe the gameplay is not revolutionary but is well put together, the whole experience is amazing.
I play as it is, a survival simulator with nice stories, environment and background info, a truly believable situation.

Noooo, 60fps all the way!
60FPS is the way to go.
The 30FPS lock is weird. I sometimes lock PC games at 30 but this feels much worse.
Stick with 60FPS.
There with ya, buddy.

improved shadow quality if that rustles your jimmies
One user from B3D explained why the 30 FPS feels "weird", he said: "30 fps on PS4 is doubled up 60 fps frames. The motion blur is half the length of the 30 fps PS3 version."
More here: http://forum.beyond3d.com/showpost.php?p=1867126&postcount=2149
Basically the motion blur is "bugged" in the 30fps lock mode, I wonder if it is something easily fixable for ND though.

I now have every single player trophy except the conversations one. I have 36 out of 37, but I'm almost positive I've done them all. I even went back to try a few questionable ones over, but no luck.
Same thing happened to me.
It's probably the one when you talk to Ellie about the fireflies at the University. There's three symbols that trigger the conversation but only the one to the left of the dorm entrance counts.
First time playing the game, got here:
And literally stopped and said: "Wow."
Lord there's so much awesomeness left in your play through.

How come the infected dont starve to death quickly since all they care about is infecting other people?
Partly because it is a video game, and partly because we don't really know if they "starve to death" or the fungus takes its course and the body can no longer contain it. The whole point of them is to supposedly spread the infection and when the human body dies they usually turn the entire area around them into a spore infested fungus. Which "mode" spreads the infection better? No idea.
Seems like they have a pretty lengthy life span considering there are multiple stages of infection. To get to bloater status it must take a while. It is kind of interesting that there aren't super emaciated infected out there. The fungus must have some way of preserving the body somehow.
It is a peculiar thing that all the infected often maim to kill instead of infect though, lol. Especially Joel

Not only that, but it seems like they don't eat the people they kill.
The first area with clickers and a bunch of dead cops/military has them dead but relatively untouched.
Finally picked this up and man are these glitches really ruining it for me. I beat the game twice on PS3 without a hitch but a lot of weird issues in this version like visual glitching and NPCs getting stuck. One weird thing that happened to me in the very beginning was that right before you reach the warehouse area. Every time I would stealth takedown the guy at the start, an enemy would appear out of thin air and rush me.
At least the visuals and 60fps kinda make up for it but really hope they release another patch.

Am I the only one who wonders what happens after the ending?
I mean, they're just standing there. What next? How do they survive? Where do they go? I hate endings like that, unless there's supposed to be a part 2.

Took me about 4 days to finish on hard with about 4 hours playtime a day. A good length. In saying that though as much as I loved this game and was hooked from start to finish, the moment I did finish it I was over it. I still think about the story and characters from time to time but I have zero desire to play the Left Behind DLC that came free with it.
I just found the mechanics and environments very repetitive towards the end and the length of the game was basically perfect so it did end just as it was overstaying it's welcome. The good thing is the story did not seem dragged out for the sake of making the game longer etc so I would say the game is almost perfectly paced based on the way the story flowed.
I just wish they would've added 1 more type of enemy and maybe given the humans a bit more variety in their actions. You basically had 4 types on enemies in the whole game which was a serious let down for me because once you learn their patterns it's just a waiting game, there didn't seem to be much skill involved in the game at all. Gun selection was excellent and actually more than we needed, it would've been better to have some more stuff to use these awesome weapons on.
Also....Best. Melee Combat. Ever!
Anyways it's sounds like i'm ragging quite hard on the game but I would consider this a 9/10 game, it would be a 10 if there were just a few more types of enemies.
