Spoiler for Hidden:

Tommy's super vision? I do not recall that lol.

Spoiler for Hidden:

When you&#39;re on a walk with Tommy.&nbsp; <br><br>And he gives you the sniper rifle.&nbsp; <br><br>Somehow he&#39;s able to see how many infected there are across the mountain.&nbsp; <br><br>Although maybe he had binoculars and I wasn&#39;t looking at him. <br>

Spoiler for Hidden:

When you're on a walk with Tommy.  

And he gives you the sniper rifle.  

Somehow he's able to see how many infected there are across the mountain.  

Although maybe he had binoculars and I wasn't looking at him.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Oh that!<br><br>I&#39;d have to replay it but I think I&#39;d be able to see people at that distance too.<br>

[Mmm_fish_tacos]

I kill everyone. I'm constantly out of bullets.

[the-pi-guy]

I'm still only around the 5 hour point.  

Spoiler for Hidden:

In a game with "zombies", and there's something else I'm way more terrified of. Wowza.

I'm now at the 10 hour mark.  

Spoiler for Hidden:

<br>I&#39;m so far pleasantly disturbed by the scars. <br><br>I was expecting them to be pretty much the same kind of enemy that we have seen.<br><br>But nope. <br>They somehow manage the intensity of infected with the better plotting of the human enemies. Creepy as heck. &nbsp;<br><br>I am loving the game. <br>

I kill everyone. I'm constantly out of bullets.

I've been playing more aggressively as I've gone on.  Just about ran out of everything.

You're like 5-10 minutes away from discovering what's so controversial about the game. But I won't say any more!

I think you've already said too much!

Spoiler for Hidden:

For me it felt like such a slow peacefull moment. Did not expect it to be full on Jesse murder time.<br>

I meant the bit after that.

No spoilers. About Amy Hennig leaving Naughty Dog

They forced an unproven claim onto https://t.co/bXvrM2OKzN with my name on it, against my will, to "protect their relationship with Sony."

When Sony justifiably condemned our story, Steve and Tal were SILENT. They never went to bat for me for a second.

To Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley who were caught in the crossfire of IGN's hostile, toxic leadership, I'm so sorry.

I am responsible for the anger, disgust, and disappointment you lived with then, and I'll never forgive myself for buckling beneath these manipulative monsters.

Wow, dude. Not gonna lie... I was angry for a long time about this. I appreciate you putting the truth out there. Please know I don’t hold a grudge and wish you the best. Sorry for what you went through. https://t.co/NEX1qv5akK

I meant the bit after that.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Ya the potential game issues are after that, but the leadup was really good imo.<br><br><br>I think the horrible pacing at that moment is that players have no reason to expect to play as Abby for so long. I thought it&#39;d just be the flashback at the zoo and was genuinely disappointed when it switched to her at the stadium. Then I was disappointed when it just kept going on and on. I wanted to get back to the cliffhanger.<br><br>At some point though I became invested in Abby and started enjoying all her gameplay, but at that point the significance of the cliffhanger was lost. Definitely would have worked better if there was a way to telegraph that Abby was a worthy half of the game and not just a flashback.<br><br><br>I think the RPG nature of the game hurt it with all the time skips. Like if gear and collectibles wouldn&#39;t carry over, why would I feel invested in them? Was cool with Abby in the zoo because her backpack had story related documents but it was bad with the start of main Abby and some of the jumps later on.<br><br><br><br>Also just a random thing while we&#39;re in end game spoilers again, I wonder if all those hard cuts to black were used for loading? It felt bad every time they happened near the end because every single one felt like the start of credits, but maybe they didn&#39;t have an option for some of them.<br>

I feel like the people complaining about the game don't understand the world they are playing in. Or they are trolls.

Like people complaining they have to play as abby when she done horrible stuff. Like OK. Youve played as Joel, who's done horrible stuff to others just to survive. And it caught up with him. Hes like the Anti Hero.
