Re: I hate checkpoints
I also hate any and all games that use them. I've just played the same section of The Last Of Us about 25 fucking times. I then slammed down the controller and cut power to the console. I will never return to this game. I absolutely LOATHE this game because of the save system...or should I say the NON-save system. If I had known the thing used checkpoints I never would have bought it. How do you feel about not being able to save when and where you want? Do you like playing the same damn thing over and over and over and over?

Surprised people had problems with TLoU. I didn't find it overly difficult. Maybe the part in the barn with only Ellie where you get swarmed.
Also, I would have gone insane if GTAV didn't have checkpoints during missions.

Re: I hate checkpoints
Two bad you guys quit at that part. I'd say it was the hardest section for me in the game as well. Once you get past it, you're able to level up some and the rest of the game was very enjoyable...

If I remember correctly, that was the same section that was included in the demo that came with God of War Ascension. I played through that demo a couple times, so maybe that's why I didn't have any problems with it when the full game came out

Re: I hate checkpoints
I actually think I know the exact spot you're talking about, and honestly it was one of the hardest parts of the game just because your character is still pretty weak at that point AND you haven't had a chance to learn the patterns and tactics... meaning it would have gotten a bit easier to manage after that.
That said, if stealth games aren't your thing you were probably never going to enjoy The Last of Us, regardless of checkpoints. You probably saved yourself a lot of misery by quitting when you did because that stealth dynamic is pretty much the whole game.

I always play games on the easiest settings... Most times its the right balance of challenge and time spent on a game.

Re: I hate checkpoints
Mine was a few hours in. You are in a rectangular room. Exit is at the end. There is a room in the middle, hallways on both sides. Enemies in both halls, in the room and in the back hall near the exit. All stealth to get through it. Annoying.
