Today's game is (finally) some more of The Last of Us. I discovered the crashing i was having seems to be a combination of the game thinking my PC was a Steam Deck and thus messing with some Specs, and the game being a little too powerful. I lowered it down to High and everything seems good now. We'll have to see though for sure.
I finally managed to make it out of that damn hotel. It was an awesome segment but holy fuck did the crashing draw it out way too long. I'm now out on the streets again and i appreciate the change in environment.
They have a segment where you're being chased by an armored truck, and i'm starting to suspect the Naughty Dog loves their Armored Truck chases. Uncharted 4 had one too. Granted that was far more of a scripted sequences while this one is more like run and duck to cover. It's not a bad thing though. It was a lot of fun doing this segment and i loved sneaking past it on the ledge.
While i was in the Basement segment and dealing with the Bloater, i struggled a bit with it. I ended up using a combo of the Shotgun and Molotovs. Even with that it was a bit of a challenge due to the narrow hallways. On the plus side though i got this sick (albeit dark) photo of the Bloater in a scuffle with Joel.
While playing i keep noticing a series of parallels between this and Uncharted 4. I'm not sure why but i feel like i've seen this exact scene before in Uncharted 4 as well only on Libertalia.Maybe i'm just over analyzing things, but damn is this fun to be reminded of.
Overall though, i'm glad to resolved the issue i was having and picking up the game again. I really didn't like living it unfinished so starting it up again is fun.
