How long?
Most reviewers were saying what, 12+ hours? Not too shabby by today's standards.

12 hours maybe, if you consider the average person who plays 1-2 hours a day. It took me about 5 hours, and I stayed up all night playing it.

5 hours? I'm calling shenanigans, or you just rushed through the game. I haven't seen ANYONE say it's less than 13 hours.

Well I tried to beat it as fast as I could, so I spent no time with cutscenes and supplies. I'm replaying now to enjoy it 100%; even though I went gameplay first, it seems that the storyline is very strong. So far I'm loving this.

You quite literally played through this game the worst way possible.
You should play for the experience first, then do speedy runs or whatever after.

Oh, well THERE'S your problem. How can you possibly skip cutscenes or dynamic conversations in a game that is almost entirely about the story?

Who the fuck goes gameplay first in a game like TLoU.
That was very dumb on your part.

Why the fuck would you purposefully try to ruin your own experience?
I've been enjoying it a lot. Feels really smooth and the combat is brutal.
Highly recommend turning off listen mode and playing on hard, because it's still not much of a challenge.
Also I'm about 4 hours in and only got the demo area, which isn't too far into the game.

The reviews I read said the difficulty didn't affect the combat, only the amount of loot that appears. So you run out of medkits etc.

At least he's not as bad as this guy

Could be true. Definitely haven't seen as much loot around as there was in the demo.
I like it though, it's just enough so you need to be careful when you use the items you make.
My only issue with the game is the woman that accompanies you (not ellie). Her AI seems really fucking stupid compared to Ellie. I've seen her run around the place and even bump into clickers. The clicker doesn't get alerted but it really takes you out of the immersion for a second. It's definitely not game breaking though.
Is it really not that challenging? I imagined it to be harder on normal than the normal on average game these days. Does the game actually feel survival-ish and how do the guns feel?

AI in this game is pretty smart, though sometimes people walk through each other.

Guns feel weak, it takes time and ammo to kill one individual. Melee instead is pretty real.
Ehh I was really hoping the fact of a gun in a fight actually threatened both sides. Always was going to use melee primarily. Would it be viable to melee almost exclusively for most of the game?

Guns are eeh. I've only got 2 pistols at the minute so maybe later things have more power. However, 99% of the time you will absolutely not want to shoot - instead you'll want to melee, and the melee feels sooo good, probably the best I've seen in a game.
I did say it's not much of a challenge, but remember I'm only in the first 5th of the game for starters. But even at that it is quite a bit harder than your average game. Clickers for example, if you're seen, you'll probably not survive if you don't have the supplies to deal with it or run. More than one clicker seen you, you're probably fucked no matter what you have, so yes, there's definitely a survival feel to it, especially in the stealth aspects of the game.

From what I've seen so far, yes.

Amazon FR is pretty fast, they have shipped mine yesterday, it says my package is in my town right now, but the estimated date is the 14. I hope they'll be able to ship it tomorrow...
Nice total. How'd you manage to get it for £0? :v:

Gift certificates. It's the way I preorder games, buy a gift certificate of say £10, put it on my account apply it to the order. Repeat as much as I want till it's paid off.
