^ Sure, it's worth a try. The main difference between normal and hard is the amount of supplies, and my slight increase in damage ata sa hard. Nung normal run ko kasi dati parang lagi ako stocked sa supplies, sa hard mode, hindi naman ako sobrang gutom sa supplies, pero hindi din ako laging well stocked. So every encounter, you have to think things through, and the margin for error is very small.
Plus, isang advantage (and probably my favorite) of going no listen mode, mas helpful si Ellie (dahil nagkakamali ka, pag perfect kasi execution mo, hindi ka na kailangan tulungan ni Ellie). Nung naka on yung listen mode dati, I could perfect any encounter because you knew where your enemies were going to be. I was rarely caught off guard. With listen mode off, nafflank ako ng kalaban, tapos minsan isisigaw ni Ellie kung saan manggagaling or babatuhin niya ng brick.
At any rate, I'm just sharing my experience on what I thought made the last of us more enjoyable for me. Iba yung experience with listen mode off, much more dynamic and much more tense para sa akin.
