Well it's my first daily update and definitely not my last. The majority of the day has been spent playing The Last of Us online, specifically 'Survivors' mode.
Warning: May contain spoilers!
Essentially today was my last day on the Firefly journey as I finished my 12th week with 72 clan members remaining at the end. Unfortunately it was not enough for me to receive the Skull Mask but it got me the gold trophy so I'm not particularly bothered.
Survivors mode is a great choice for when the high risk situations arise (60% and 100% population threats). Each game of Survivors typically lasts around 15-20 minutes and usually yields between 3000 and 5000 parts, so it is great for increasing your clan as well as completing the mission requirements.
I'd also advise for anyone wanting an easy ride through the 100% missions to take the Crafter 2/3 perk and select the gifting allies challenge, it's incredibly easy to get the tier 3 mission stage done in the three days allocated.
Although I enjoyed The Last of Us mutliplayer for the most part, I can't say I'll enjoy doing the same 84 matches again to finish the Hunter journey. Thankfully patch 1.03 released today has added a much needed third multiplayer mode, it's still kind of boring playing the same 6 or so maps, but I'll go into that on my platinum review which should arrive within the next week or so.
A big problem with this game is the matchmaking system. The 1.03 patch supposedly improved the situation, however the second game I entered I was placed in a team consisting of the following ranks: 0 - 9 - 13 - 11 while the opposing team consisted of 114 - 223 - 174 - 153 ... Seeing the problem? This just adds insult to injury when the players with extreme lag can shoot you through a wall with an arrow when you've been hiding for five seconds already.
The most worrying thing is, Naughty Dog's track record for breaking multiplayer games is certainly higher than their record for improving them (take Uncharted 3 as an example).
Anyways, another update tomorrow and I'll hopefully do something other than play The Last of Us... I have a fair few anime episodes to catch up on!
