Day one buy :3

from what i remember and experienced
ive played games where theres that one sequence or mission where you have to protect and guide a helpless person
and those sequences/missions are probably the worst part of those games

i cant imagine doing that for 12 hours
especially with no weapons/upgrades/skills to unlock
and limited weapons/ammo at that

i wont be buying this game
rental at best

Ill wait for a review on it and probably get it directly from Sony for 10 bucks

Well you need to do a little more research into the game

Ellie is more of a companion than a charge. Think Mass Effect or Dragon Age. You will be able to give her orders to do things and the way they are scripting her AI it makes it seem to be Radiant AI with situation awareness. I doubt she will be a hand holder throughout the game.

there is a crafting system that lets you create weapons
besides what did you expect from a game type like this, you cant just go in guns blazing
and like wolf said, improving the ai was their number one priority so she wouldn't be such a burden

I think I posted this in pages back... But look how Fallout turned out with the weapons. At first it was fun saving up ammo and added an extra challenge, but a few hours in you have 1,000 rounds for the best gun and it gets boring.

If they can find a nice balance for it then it'll be great. The earlier resident evils did it well with ammo... Shit sometimes you would have to start over because you used too much.

except ellie doesnt have super powers
or super weapons

and ellie isnt a team of 3 bad asses




its not about whether its a burden
the replay or long time play value isnt really there
can you really see yourself playing something like this without upgrades or something to work towards besides story for 12 hours?

let me just put it this way

uncharted
weaponless ai partner
less available weapons

12 hours

or hell even put it this way

uncharted
12 hours

Neither does the main character or any character in the game for that matter. Hell you will probably at an advantage the whole game because of it.

what im saying is that theres nothing to the game that would actually keep the player playing for 12 hours
4 maybe

players nowadays only play past the average 5+ hours due to unlockables/achievements/upgrades/levelups or just replays the single player on a harder difficulty thus stacking 4 hours on 4 hours

12 hours straight for a game without deep level of those elements is just too much and would make the game stale way too fast
