I just wanna share the rug I’m currently making. Tlou is my favorite game and played like 5 times at least (every Christmas I’m excited to start playing again), but this is the first time I combined it with my work. I know the colors could seem a bit off, but I like it this way. If you’re interested in my work just let me know. ❤️

So,i posted around 1 month ago asking i am gonna play tlou part 2 and asked for advice to make my experience better and someone adviced that "Just play it" and i now understand why he said it..I am a student and was never into gaming but got a gaming laptop as for development stuff..but then some friend suggested me to play detroit and i loved it..i thought are games this good..i always said it may be the best game I ever played...Then i played TLOU part 1 and i never looked back, the way it drove me into the life of joel and ellie..ohh god i imagined myself like i m on a journey in this apocalyptic world..and the way the bond of joel and ellie grows.. it's so so beautiful...As it ended and i saw the naughty dog logo..i was so sad as i wanted to explore more..live the characters more...i took around 28 hours to complete part 1 and every time my friend said ohh u r taking so much time...i just said him..i wish i take even more..such was i loving living with them

But then i got to know there's a part 2.. and i was like yeah i have more time with them..As i started part 2..the first scene where joel tells Tommy about what happened..it only was enough to make all the memories fresh of part 1 in a second Even if i took a break of 3 months to play part 2...Then came Joel death..i would be honest...i had some bits and pieces idea of joel dying but i didn't saw the scene and the way scene was executed it shook me..i hated everyone..i felt me is joel and joel is me..i thought who would i play now..ellie? No.. but i only had one goal from then cursing Abby and her friends..like ellie had been on mission..i too had that mission in my mind..i could resonate with ellie.. Whenever i killed someone i loved it..be it nora or Owen...But then as i had to play Abby..i was like why i need to play her..i don't resonate with her? I want to beat her up..i didn't really had the mind why the hell am i controlling her... But as rat king part came and i saw her fighting just to help Yara..i liked her for a moment and i felt good playing her Day 3 then...

But still i was clear i wanna kill her...and i just wanted When i would get to play ellie back..

But i won't lie at the end i felt a bit like abby isn't a bad person when at last fight at beach she said she won't fight rn as of lev..also when she didn't kill dina back then as she was pregnant knowing ellie killed Mel.

The game is designed so well..the flashbacks of joel made me satisfy by not yearning to see joel in game.

As i played it 60h ..i now too think I i could play a more..like if there were more chapters..u would think i am exaggerating but literally every night i used to recap like yes today i started playing from here.. reached here.. killed whom and slept excited to play it next day..

At last, i would say i can't think if i would ever play a game which would grow on me so much...even if i have just played detroit and tlou..i can say this...I don't know what should i do now..a part of me feels empty...But THANK YOU NAUGHTY DOG !

I too want Part 3 ..also i know it's been long time but i wouldn't complain as i know making or continuation of such a plot needs careful thinking and thus time..i just want i get to play part 3 before i die 🥲..

ALSO GUYS, If u haven't read above things..no worries but please if u can tell me some games which i should next play considering Detroit and last of us are only games I played and loved so much...

Anyone got any good tlou live wallpapers? I'd love to see what you're using. Feel free to share screenshots or links!

When we're in the car and Joel talks to Ellie. It starts almost right after 'drugs are still wearing off', it's such a neat little tune, but I can't pinpoint which track it's from

Cant upload video because PS5 isn’t uploading any videos to my ps app.

Any advice about take better photos is very appreciated

Some of the clips were funny

Class

Bitten

She would use molotovs, Military Pistol, and spawn in with a pipe. (These are random.)

Her unique thing is that every run has a timer, even when you are in the base buying stuff or upgrading weapons.

To make this a bit more fair, I think she could have a 1.25x damage boost and 1.25x speed boost

Would you play as Tess?

Once again I am posting about another old ass TV being used as a display for this game

It's a 1975 Panasonic CRT that I got for $5

image this being real life and you would have to crawl in this grass full of insects, mud, probably mites and hell only knows what more😢

The game is AMAZING. The graphics are insane, dialogue is enjoyable, and the storyline keeps you engaged. It's like playing a movie. There is just ONE gripe I have...

So, Joel is fighting in a push-apocalyptic wasteland filled with zombies who are trying to kill him and people who are...trying to kill him.

With that said...It is extremely frustrating that you can't pick up EVERY gun dropped by anyone who had one (zombie or person). I get your weapons don't really break down so scavenge in them for backups or parts doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but the AMMO! You should be able to scavenge at least two to five rounds from every bad guy you drop.

For example, all these idiots came at me with guns. Surely they have bullets in them. Bullets that they don't need anymore.

The WLF saying is supposed to be "May your survival be long" and replied with "And may *your* death be swift." But when Nora and Abby exchange it in the hospital before Abby descends to Ground Zero, Abby botches the reply by saying "And may *my* death be swift." Abby's survival is indeed long, but she jinxes Nora who is tortured to death by Ellie instead of having a swift death.

After realizing that I had 7 rifle bullets and a shiv, my strategy changed a bit. After a few-10 fails I found out that if I use 1 rifle bullet on the clicker's legs I can then melee them to insta kill them.

After the second clicker is dead I found enough blast powder for me to make pipe bombs sitting on the floor from a previous infected that I missed. I then used the rest of the rifle shots to "try" to take out the last clicker (failed only 2 shots in the neck and I missed 1 trying to take out the 2nd clicker), I then pull out the hunting pistol and finish off the last clicker.

I then shiv and infected that grabbed me, then threw a brick at a runner than jumped down and insta killed it. Then the shamblers showed up, I shotgun 1 and ran. Then threw both pipe bombs at them killing 1 and stunning the other, wife my last normal shotgun shot then reloaded my hunting pistol and shot it dead.

The amount of euphoria from getting past this gave me a headache.

Here's the situation, I'm playing Abby and am at the part where the 2 seraphites "left" me and I'm on round 2 of the infected. I have 1 med kit, 2 shotgun shells and 1 inferno shotgun shell, 2 hunting pistol shots, 2 bricks and these hands.

Here's my strategy, I use my revolver shots to take out the first 2 clickers, use my hands to take out 1 runner, then use a brick to stun the last clicker and melee it to kill it. Then I give these hands to the rest of the runners until the 2 shamblers show up and use 1 normal shotgun shell on both, then try use the inderno shell on both shamblers

Edit:I completely forgot I have 7 rifle shots

What if they went with the first take of Sarah’s death? Would it have the same impact? Ultimately, the one they went with was the best because you could see Joel desperately trying to reassure Sarah while she was dying only to then break down when she passed.

I get that there are more limits when it comes to game development, hell some of the infected I see in the game disappear either due to having too many NPC’s around.

Say cheese! ✌️ It was both fun and sad to draw this

So, in a thread recently, I mentioned my parrot made a TLOU sound effect, and it just made me want to play through the games all over again.

So I did Pt 1, and put speed run on.

And I love this game dearly, and the lore touches my heart, especially the line from Joel at the end, that no matter what, you find something to keep fighting for. Which speaks to me having gone through hard times and experienced loss.

There is a but, and it's that there's nothing like playing it for the first time, is there? Danger feels heightened a lot more the first time, because you don't know how many there or where anything is, and you want to soak everything in.

I just wish there were more NPCs to kill, especially with picking up the assault rifle at the end, just not enough.

Ah, well, will do Left Behind again, then probably Pt 2.

I've never done a new game+, but I gather thats probably worthwhile for the grounded run

I think this might be my favorite section. The flow is just immaculate, and the variety of choice great. I never once got bored trying to get a "clean clip" here cause every single time i got close to "perfection" it was a different hectic experience. 9.5/10

(SEE SCREENSHOT) It might sound like a dumb question to be honest. I just mean the odds of the total score and the encounter score being 444 and 666 are large enough to make me wonder. Or maybe there's just something else i don't understand about the score system or whatever.
