This is a game that wants to force you to play it a certain way. That way is mostly melee stealth kills or setting traps. Guns for the most part are worthless. The ammo is to artificially limited and they're too noisy. Often times I come across ammo but the game won't let me carry anymore so I have to either shoot a few bullets to pick it up or just leave it.

I've also in segments tried to use other people as distractions or use myself as one and try to get the partner to kill the enemy. For the most part this doesn't work because the enemies will ignore other characters and just focus on attacking the player. The partner AI also isn't smart enough to dispatch an enemy unless it's a scripted segment. The partner characters are mostly just decoration. Even when they're with you the truth is you're really by yourself and can't count on them for much.

I've started losing my patience and I just rush the group of enemies over and over again until I pass the segment. I really wish the game allowed for different play styles.
This is similar to the first game where it's encouraged to mostly play stealthily and rely on guns second especially on harder difficulties. I only go guns blazing when you have to but I'm playing it on the harder mode so things are definitely risky.


I assume if you play it on easier modes there's more ammo to be found and plus you can increase ammo capacity to carry more at at a time. Dina has helped me out a few times killing enemies on her own but she doesn't start it off first. It's a very tough thing I can see with having a second AI character play perfectly as there's a few times enemies were alerted due to her running around somewhere and they saw her.

Couple hours into this and so far it's been real good, just got to the part where Ellie and Dina smoke a joint. The graphics, art direction and environmental design are all top notch - really impressive stuff. Only complaint so far would be Dina's AI during fights with infected - I tried to throw a brick to distract them but ended up throwing it directly at one of the infected so they all squadded on me but Dina kinda just stood there doing nothing lol.

I really like the stealth element of the game though, just a lot more satisfying that way. I haven't even played the first game, just watched a walkthrough on YT so I'm pretty new to the gameplay but so far it's been fine. Anyone else peep the PS3 and Uncharted 2 easter egg?

I get the ammo is scarce but god damn. :why:

They been in Jackson for how long? And they still got these weak ass pistols? They got horses and electric power, but never came across a 15 round Glock 19? :dahell:

and they gonna send Ellie to fight an entire militia that took down a government millitary with a weak ass revolver and a hunting rifle with less than 10 bullets. :gucci:
