The Last of Us: Remastered (PS4/PS3) | Part 1 (PC/PS5) - September 2, 2022

[Natallon]

Mine does that occasionally but not every time..
Some times its super fast loading other times takes forever

[Souj]

also takes me quite a while to manually save.

perchance it has something to do with me having 280gb of games on my ps3? idk how that would affect it, but I don't know jack shit about much.
I haven't noticed any bad loading times with any of my other games though in any case.

[Burningthought]

Whelp, I finished the game. Didn't really want to, but if you keep playing it has to end at some point.

As far as the story goes I feel completely satisfied. I loved every minute.

Just snagged a Japanese pre-order only t shirt off Ebay for $37, fucking score. Why were they only offering these in Japan??

[Souj]

because $40 for a t-shirt is pricey as fuck. Especially for one that's just the title of the game.


And okay, so I deleted like 200gb worth of games and now the load only takes 10 seconds. Saving is faster too.

Though something is wrong with how my PS3 has decided to determine how much GB have have left on my hard drive;

Wormhole or your PS3 is a magical beast -- take your pick.

So game decided to kick me with the last guy surrounded by all 4 of us about to die.... feels good having all my clan hungry and sick for no reason.

Why are people so butthurt about this Ellen Page stuff lol. It's not like she even pursued it. It was just like 1 sentence on an internet post. I think they're just trying to vent their Ellen hate and this seemed like the opportune moment to do it.


Managed to reach 5500 parts today in multiplayer. Played a medic with 3 reviver, 2 first aid, 3 crafter and a revolver. Revolver is OP when fully upgraded, and you get parts so fast from healing and crafting that you can upgraded it fully pretty fast.

What's the max load off points people have? I'd really love to get 1 or 2 more, but I'm at 13 and kinda think I won't be getting any more.

[TacoTaru]

Been reflecting on this game for the last few days before I touch it again, and damn it just gets better the more I talk about it with friends. I almost hope they do a PS4 port to fix the frame stutter/all around make it look better. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

[Salodin]

I wish this was a ps4 game so it could be rendered at 1080p...cant believe the ps3 couldn't handle that.

[Jaxzer]

Never say never. 1080p remasters on PS4 are a definite possibility

[Katlan]

So game decided to kick me with the last guy surrounded by all 4 of us about to die.... feels good having all my clan hungry and sick for no reason.

They really need to fix this. When the host rage quits the rest of the people shouldn't suffer

[AoE]

I feel like every match I end up in is against a team of people playing with each other with my team of randoms and no communication.

[tyven]

AOE i will lead you to victory

Gather 'round everyone. Sit, as I regale you with my tale:

This is the story of a man, a man so ordinary he is most assuredly indistinguishable at first glance. His demeanor and appearance are as uninspiring as his name. But he is no man, he is Ish!

Ish has sailed the open seas for as long as he cared to dream. Amongst the open air Ish lives quietly with his trusty fishing rod in tow at the tail end of his majestic ship. The apocalypse on land is a distant memory, how many years had it been, three? five? eight?

The end of the world mattered no longer to Ish; with the Sun always willing to batter his face, time had ruined his once youthful look. He grew skinny and frail, tanned to the bone. One could say he no longer was a man of the land, but a Man of the Sea!

Men of the Sea are notorious folk, ever so powerful and unassuming, their cares tended to their ship and their ship alone. But Ish is a man of the Sea through circumstance alone. Wishing ever to see mankind once again, he makes the decision of his life.

With a hard turn to port-side Ish unleashes the winds to sail him towards the Eastern seaboard. His destination matters not, only land does Ish seek. Land approached rapidly, and Ish, without a wanting for returning to the sea, matched the incoming land stride for stride. The impact was over quickly. With his hands still firmly grasped to the ship's steering wheel, Ish had joined humanity once again.

With his majestic ship now locked onto shore for eternity, Ish wrote a final solemn goodbye: "Please don't smash my skull with your foot". But this is not a tale of some weak-frailed man lost to the apocalypse, this is a tale of Ish, the Man of the Sea!

"Where shall I venture forth?" Ish pondered in his head. There is no greater place to repose for men such as Ish but in the sewers, where both shelter and water roll hand in hand. Upon entering the sewers Ish, with his voice unacustomed to speech, bellowed "THIS'LL DO NICELY". Hark! Alas, poor Ish had met his fate, as ten Clickers descended upon him to meet his end. But this is not a tale of some weak-frailed man lost to the apocalypse, this is a tale of Ish, the Man of the Sea!

Men like Ish, they are no ordinary men, with the strength equalling forty men Ish destroyed the ten Clickers, each crushed into infinitesimal pieces by the palms of his very hands. Once he cleared his new home, Ish continued his original search: to once again join humanity.

Ish had made a most foul choice. In his absence from society, lost to the waves of the Sea, Ish forgot the cardinal rule: never trust a man named Kyle. For it was this very name of the man Ish had first gazed upon from his sewers, and might finally be the end of Ish as we know it.

For Kyle was also no ordinary man. This land-lubbering, paunchy-pribbling, milk-livered, plum-plucked, mugger-hugger only cared for himself and little of his family. With his doors bolted shut, and with his neighbours used for his own protection, Kyle sat comfortably in his own home. But Kyle had a problem: looters had reached his once safe ward community. No longer could Kyle sit idly by as the world turned to shreds. Seeing a frail, Sun-soaked man popping his head out of the sewers time and again, Kyle knew advantage when he saw one.

Their relationship was originally platonic. Kyle traded food to Ish, as Ish could no longer survive on gifts of the Sea, and in return Kyle received tools and weapons forged by the tanned fists of Ish. At first Kyle used these tools for himself, to find different ways to eat without having to get off the couch, but the looters soon became too much.

With a chance to meet humanity firsthand once again, the two formed an unlikely bond together in the sewers. At first glance it was a merry and welcomed sight. Kyle had brought his wife and two daughters; they were of little note, forced to eat the crumbs dropped by their pompous father, but Ish saw great things in one, Susan.

Over time everyone forgot the Clickers. No longer did they have to cower in fear from looters. They had a system in the sewers, a system of trust and obedience. This is what Ish craved most, to be a part of society is to follow its norms, and Ish followed Kyle's every beck and call.

Kyle, in his ever increasing desires to sustain his lust, had given his wife the pains of bearing triplets. Her life caved within her, and quietly became mad, losing sight of life. With so many children at hand Ish became a father figure to these children, and with him, Susan became a mother figure.

Their love for each other grew in the normalcy of raising children, but had to always be kept silent, lest Kyle, the mewling, clay-brained, unchin-snouted, boar-pig were to catch them in the act. Their most precious moments, were the five seconds Kyle had to scrub his hair in the shower (sometimes he went six seconds, but no one ever complained!). For in this brief moment Ish could gaze into Susan's eyes, and her into his.

Tragedy struck. Kyle, with his ever so imperceptible brain, left the door open to the outside world. There was little time to react. The Clickers came in droves. The triplets were in the playroom at the time, and Kyle hurried his bug-bitten butt there to cower in shame. His wife was the first to go. "I'LL SEE YOU IN HELL!" she yelled to Kyle, her first and only vengeful cry towards a man who thought of nothing but himself.

Susan was prepared to meet her end, save for the power of one man: Ish. Unbeknownst to her up to that day, Ish was no ordinary man, but a man of the Sea! Cracking Clicker skulls like nobodies business, Ish forced his way to save the triplets, when suddenly: "BANG, BANG, BANG". Kyle had struck.

As his youngest children lay dead, Ish knew there was no saving the man he once called friend. With Susan's sister nowhere to be found, Ish and Susan left Kyle to wail, wail as the Clickers set in for one final meal.

This was not Ish's day to die. No, there was no time to mourn either. With quick haste Ish and Susan went into an abandoned home. It was the home of Susan's best friend when they were once kids a lifetime ago.

Clickers had heard them enter. From outside they came. From downstairs they came. Ish and Susan raced upstairs to write their final goodbyes. This will be the site of their final resting place.

Or was it? Ish, ever the man, grabbed Susan as she held tightly unto her note and jumped out the window as Clickers raged in. Two stories they fell. Landing on three Clicker's soft mooshy heads to soften the blow, Ish carried Susan to safety.

It took 82 days to travel from the lonely Suburbs of Pittsburgh to Mexico. Thankfully the boarder remained intact; what once failed to protect illegal immigrants from entering the US of A, now protects the infected from coming out. Also Canada was safe because they built a force field.

Here Ish would remain, basking in the Sun once again. Ish, the man of the Sea, his frail arms still giving the strength of forty men, lived to the ripe old age of 182. He had 18 children with Susan, 92 Grand children, 460 Great-Grand children, and many many many Great-Great-Grand Children and then some.

Each child was forty times stronger than the next. Soon they became an army, one that entered the US of A, and exterminated each and every last infected human. There was much joy and fanfare, as Ish's family single-handily saved the world from extinction.

Our Man of the Sea, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on land as it is on Sea!

Praise Ish, Savior of the World!

Amen

Random question regarding a specific fight/situation:

Spoiler: show

In the flooded hotel basement:

- I cleared the entire floor of all mobs.
- I checked exit door, needed keycard.
- I explored further and found keycard (still no mobs).
- I returned to the door and it said I now needed to start the generator.
- I start generator, which immediately attracts 2 Stalkers and 1 Bloater.

This confrontation kept getting the best of me, the Bloater usually getting way too close to me by the time I could deal with the two seemingly unavoidable Stalkers.

If I run full-speed straight for the door, I'll end up getting ambushed by the Stalkers just before the hallway. If I survive that, when I approach the door, there is no option to use the keycard on the security panel, only to fail at using the doorknob itself.

My last attempt before I called it a night, I managed to somehow very quickly kill both Stalkers just before the hallway where they ambush me. Then, I ran to the door with good distance from the Bloater, but I couldn't use the keycard, so I crouched down in that dead-end only to have the Bloater come down the hall and know exactly where I was. I ended up putting a few shotgun blasts in his face before my PS3 locked up (lol).

I read somewhere that it's best to sneak past this Bloater, but the split-second I start that generator, the two Stalkers are aware of me and by the time I can dispatch them, the Bloater is well-aware of my location. Is there a specific path I can take to avoid these mobs once I start the Generator? It just feels like there's nothing I can do to avoid the Stalkers and they take too long to kill... Would nail bombs near the doorway to the Generator be the best method?

I just hope the keycard thing isn't some terribly unfortunate glitch.

WAT DO?

Mostly useless response given your luck but...

Spoiler: show

I fucking booked it after dying the first time because that part was fucking scary for me playing in the dark. I even did practice runs so I knew where I needed to run (lmao). I killed the zombies by the door with the shotgun I think to dispatch them as fast as possible and I never dealt with the bloater.

I don't know bro, I ran like the dickens to that door and was able to use the keycard flawlessly. You are looking at the keycard reader and not the door, right? I know when you first interact with the door the indicator is on the door itself but moves to the reader afterwards.
