Wrapping up day 1. My only real complaint about the game so far is Dina, I'm not a fan of her at all. Complete bird brain, and I don't think she's a "believable" character like Ellie is. Then again they may expand upon her backstory, but so far she's dragging it down IMO.

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.

This is bullshyt. The partner AI is arguably overpowered. It's far more damaging than it was in the first game. Too many instances, you can simply stay back and let the partner wipe out entire squads of enemies. You're clearly not playing the game correctly. Or, perhaps, you are playing the game correctly, placing yourself in combat situations to the degree that Naughty Dog desired. The AI of your NPC allies is through the roof in this game. AI is impressive as hell, all around. Never seen anything like it.

Anyone else hate using listen mode but find yourself casually using it out of habit?

I can’t wait for that “Grounded” update

no listen mode and no 2 minute checkpoints, now THAT is gonna be intense

Btw, how beastly of a squad does Jackson have? Joel, Tommy, Ellie and Jesse can take like a 200 people each :dead:

All four could go comando style and take over a whole damn state if they needed to :picard:

One guy in the spoiler thread is using this as his main complaint now, it’s too unrealistic that one girl can kill all of these people, as if he has has never played any other kind of video game or ever watched an action/revenge movie

Nothing was spoiled fakkit:snoop:

you really not see how that can be a spoiler? Lol

Keyword

Avenge - inflict harm on behalf of (oneself or someone else previously wronged or harmed)."
"we must avenge our dead"

You weren't specific but what you posted implies Joel got bodied.

If you can't handle using tags or being considerate there's a spoiler thread you can go to.

And since you also mad the dudes in there can stroke you off to make you feel better. :dame:

So I just hit the end of Day 3

There better be some payoff for this shyt. ND has lost me on this one
You made it where I'm at. It's pretty upsetting. Most people here aren't past this because while the mechanics are the same it's a different game past this point and it takes a huge level of forgiveness to even want to continue on.

When it comes to human enemies yeah but there was a section pretty early on with a couple Clickers and some Runners and Dina wasn't smart enough to prioritize the Clickers who ignore her and come straight for me. I was trying to draw their attention and have her take them out. Ended up having to kill all of them myself.

On human enemies you can draw them out then hide and the partner AI might kill them but the enemies still are drawn to you over fighting them.
