My wife picked this up out of the blue for me. Sweet. Hope to start it tonight.

I'm 82% complete with the game according to my save file.
This has been one of the greatest games in story-telling that I've ever played.

Will replay on Survival or NG+... or both.

My wife an I played it for about an hour last night. I can already tell its going to be a great game.

Your wife rocks.

yeah; she went to run some errands, and snagged a bunch of games I don't play any more, and stopped by Gamestop. woot.:clap:

Anyone else find the smoke bombs a little useless? I probably only used them about 3 times but found I'd rather spend my resources on the regular bombs.

I found them pretty useful. Course you could also go through the entire game and not use them once. Different play styles I guess. But basically if I wanted to conserve ammo or had a group of a couple people together I'd toss one in and then just run it and bash skulls. I have to imagine i'll be using them a lot more this time around since i'm playing survival difficulty. Survival Isn't very forgiving so far.

it took me a good 10 minutes to figure out what the brick and bottles were used for lol. to distract, rather than throw AT the enemy.

I'd make a terrible SEAL.

The bombs and Shivs were my bread and butter.

can you keep a shiv after you use it? it seemed last night that I'd use it, then I wouldn't have it any longer.

Haven't played the game, but my understanding is that a shiv gets 3 uses before you "wear it out".

Nope, the shiv starts at one use. There is a book you read that will get you 2 shiv uses. Also, some doors can be opened, consuming an entire shiv.

God damn this game is hard. I suck at stealth which doesn't help matters.

LOL, yeah ive played a few hours. Really hard...im used to barreling through and going all HAM like in Uncharted

I'm at my first encounter with a group of clickers and runners and keep getting ganged up on and killed. I don't know how to get through this. And why the hell is Tess not helping me here?
