I have mostly given up on factions. I will accept I'm probably not very good at it, but it paired a bunch of us single digit level guys against a group of 200+ level folks including one that was in the 600s. Doesn't matter what I do, I just get owned at every step. Weird stuff happens like a couple opponents reach the opposite side of the map where we spawn in right about the time we collect from the first box. Or crouch walking around and it's like I have a target painted over my head right from the start

That probably won't ever happen, if you're talking strictly about gameplay. The Last of Us has fun gameplay and is competently designed but it's a product of its time (i.e it's a 3rd person action adventure with rudimentary stealth and crating mechanics that you've probably played before) and suffers from poor enemy AI and repetitive gameplay. The narrative, world-building, and associated thematic exploration is what makes the game exceptional but whether that kind of thing is fun is up to you.

So far the game was like Bioshock Infinite quality. Essentially an 8-8.5/10 game. That said I still have myself feeling wanting more. I think I may just rent a PS3 at Rent-A-Center for like $30 and borrow the game just to finish it.

Or crouch walking around and it's like I have a target painted over my head right from the start If you're playing on a party mode Covert Training 2 is basically required. Other tips: - Don't sprint to the box when you spawn after the first spawn. Not only does it ping you on the map so they know where you are, but there will be a bomb that will blow you up. - If the enemy has several hundred levels under their belt, they will know where you spawned anyway because the spawn system in this game is pretty predictable. So don't get caught with your pants down building on the box. - The spawn system is dumb and will often spawn you and a bad guy on the same box, so instead of walking straight at the box make sure there's nobody else with you. - Stay with your team and cover each other. Having a mic and calling out bad guys helps a lot. - Know when to abandon your teammates. A lot of times low level teams will come at the enemy one at a time and get shot from 4 different angles. If you've got two teammates down and you're not in the line of fire, back off and regroup (unless they have a mic and tell you it's clear). Resist the urge to walk forward and shoot mans. - Knowing the maps well will make you a lot better at the game since you learn the hiding spots, med pack locations, etc. This is just a matter of playing more. - Play with goons.

Bottom line is; some of the higher level guys slap agility 2 and covert training 2 on their character and know where all the toolboxes are for theirs and the other teams. It can get very lucrative for them to race to the first box with their speed, and not showing up on your radar or listening mode, and pop everyone off at the first box with the burst rifle.

That's my tactic too. If it the first box at head straight for the enemy to set up a flank while they're moving to their 2nd box. Give you an easy shiv as well as catching them with their dick in their hand as they get poo poo from the front and back. Playing with 3 friends with mica really helps.

Like many good movies I enjoyed TLOU because it was being called "good" when I played it, not "ZOMG THE GREATEST." I think ultimately it's an A+ story for a video game with B+ to A- mechanics depending on your expectations and preferences. It's like trying to watch Breaking Bad cold now. It's hard to get into something that's been overhyped.

One thing new guys always don't seem to realize is that you need to move constantly. Don't sit around at the box especially. Start setting up your positions and then start crafting after you are in a safe spot. Mobility is the best asset that you have to throw the enemy off. After a while you will figure out how to move around the maps quickly without making a ruckus and you can be the one murdering guys at the first box. Also, don't be afraid to retreat if you don't know if you are going to come out on top. It's better to run off alive than get killed on some crapshoot situation. Most importantly find people to play with. 90% of pubs are poo poo and half of the good ones are lovely team players which is why they are playing alone probably. The game has been out for a while so most teams you are up against are full parties that are coordinating with each other. You guys can add me if you want. I'll pretty much pop on whenever.

I've been caught in accidental glitches before, like somebody punches me while I'm climbing over a box and then I'm stuck inside the box for the rest of the match unable to kill myself or anyone else. I've also spawned as an invisible person a couple times. Most of that was on the PS3 version though.

Amazingly we didn't get completely ruined, although we did lose of course. Matchmaking is done by KDR (after latency/region/language). Also, if you just joined a lobby and then got swept, don't leave-- the game will rearrange the teams next round unless it was a close match. Level also doesn't mean poo poo, I've seen level 500's miss the barn door and level 20's headshot the entire other team with a military sniper. There's also the fact that there are a shitload of veterans making the jump from PS3 to PS4, so that's why you see level 7's with zero deaths pulling ROF exploits and airbursting nailbombs. Even funnier are the tools that register a new TLOU-themed PSN as if, somehow, we won't think they're complete loving tools. I swear to god this loving metagame is half the problem. I love watching people ragequit as much as the next guy but it also just fucks the entire system in terms of consistent team balancing. I generally have to play at least 2 or 3 matches for teams to settle.

Destiny demo didn't wow me and Bloodborne was godawful. I would absolutely say TLOU is worth getting a PS4 for. There are enough other games coming out that look promising too but I definitely don't regret this purchase.

I've enjoyed many games on my PS4 but logged more hours in tlou than all of them combined. There doesn't seem to be a cap on my enjoyment of the multilayer despite the lack of content, and playing single player yet again is always looming in the back of my mind. It's a good game imo.
