Best scene in the game. I spent like 40 plasma shots and 15 line racks there not to mention the heavy stasis abuse. Thought I had enough ammo for a while since I just stocked up and then I have 5 plasma shots and 10 racks left
This game is so goooooood.
Oh and is there a log for why the

Just finished it. I think the way the game gets annoying difficult towards the end, and the fact that it's shorter than the first, makes me prefer the first game.
Dead Space 2 characters > Dead Space 1 character though.

Spoilers for the comic Dead Space Salvage:
A salvage ship crew finds the Ishimura and radios the government of its location. Theres a bit more to it then that, but its the basic gist.

I'm playing through the first one on PC and loving every minute of it
just hope DS2 is amazing and better then the first as people say it is.

I'm only in Chapter 8 at the moment, but my favorite part(s) have been:
The Stalker enemies.
I love fighting them. They are making their way up my list of coolest enemies to fight in a game.
Me and my brother (who was watching me play) thought they acted like raptors. And it was confirmed that the creators did too when the trophy I got for them was called "Clever girls".
Love their screams, and how they run around you without attacking you. Then they peak around corners at you. And then eventually they bum rush you.
The Seeker rifle and the Detonator bombs work awesome. Set up some proximity bombs, and then use the seeker rifle to pop them when they peek at you.

I really have a hard time thinking about games in the recent pass that have used sound so effectively and deftly. Its great to know that Visceral paid attention to one of the major reasons System Shock 2 was so terrifying... sound.
EDIT: When it comes to the Raptor creatures, patience is the best weapon. Get some distance, your back covered and once they rush, stasis their ass. What's difficult later on is when
they get mixed in with other enemies, including the exploding tick newborns.

Fantastic game, it's so similar to the original and yet it feels improved across every area. Beautiful presentation, interface and controls.

I don't know if it's actually because of me forcing MSAA and AF, but two places during the game ( that should not be resource heavy ) like two random doors or gates or whatever it was made my framerate go from a rocksolid 60 to something very low, like 25-30ish.
As soon as I turned my back to said doors then everything shot back upto 60 so I'm guessing something foul was at hand but couldn't be bothered to try to see if the problems were there without the forcing of stuff.
or something.

Only two spots in the game sounds fine to me. I'm going to go through the game tomorrow and hopefully beat the game in a sitting.Corky said:

I think I'm at chapter 6. I just beat
This reminds me of Resident Evil 4 in that it seems to have turned away from being a horror game, and is now an action game instead. It's just not as scary, mostly due to the location in which the game takes place, the abundance of lighting, the lack of eerie background creaking/grinding/etc noises compared to the original, and the fact that some of the enemies look a bit stupid (the
in particular, or whatever they are, are just ridiculous, and I think the "plain" necromorphs looked scarier in DS1).
It's still a fantastic game, but for different reasons. And so far, I prefer the original. The atmosphere *made* that game, and DS2 is a little lacking in that regard.
the Tormentor, the boss you "fight" after Daina gets blown away by the gunship.

It may be a bit more actiony, but just... keep playing. There is some awesomeness and fear ahead.
Question for those who have beaten it, or have been far enough to know:
When the hell am I
I'm at chapter eleven. Did I miss it?

going to get a new suit? I'm wearing the security suit and have found the vintage, but I keep hearing about this advanced suit that I haven't found yet.

In chapter 11, inside a node locked door. Opening all those node locked doors is worth it, so much awesome shit inside. Mostly cash and health packs and ammo, but it's worth it.

I see everyone mentioning the hard difficulties, but how is the easiest difficulty? I don't mind being (in Itagaki's words ) "a dog"- I find myself having problems with these 3rd person shooters, so my first playthrough is usually on the most casual level.
Is easy just stupid easy and I should start on normal?
I don't remember what I played DS1 on. Probably the lowliest, flea-infested dog level available.
Also-
please god tell me there's no SHOOT THE ASTEROIDS shit in this one.

Haven't played on easy but I would imagine that It's not very hard at all.

I've only played on Normal mode, but it wasn't super-hard and mostly fair, so Casual oughta be a walk in the park. No asteroids.

So DS2 inspired me to go finish Extraction on the Wii and while I enjoyed the story, I really fucking hated the gameplay. I don't generally enjoy light-gun games, but Extraction really took my dislike to a new level. The bosses were annoying as hell, I managed to make the script path glitch out- forcing me to replay like 20 mnutes of a slow ass level, and I just couldn't stand how quickly they would look away from shit like upgrades and stuff. If you are gonna make a level 20 minutes long and not break it up into parts for replaying, you will completely kill my interest in getting 100% items because the one item I missed was 2 minutes before the end of the level and super easy to miss.
God it left an awful taste in my mouth. And because I have Dead Space 2 on PC, I won't be able to see the follow up to the story, aka the only part of Extraction I enjoyed, only with proper good gameplay.

So, when you've got the hacker suit and you want to upgrade your suits further, do you have to keep buying the shittier suits in order to get further upgrades? I've only upgraded to the normal suit after I got the hacker suit, and now there's a security suit or something that gives 15 slots and 10% armor. I don't want to buy it because it's 20000 and i already have 15 slots at 15% armor, and it's a waste of money unless I need to buy it in order to further power up my suit. Help?
Hah, yeah, no problem. I literally did that portion right before you did. I just backed to the corner of the stage and let that electricity rip. Thank god for that area effect, otherwise I would have been totally, totally hosed.Lakitu said:

OK - I just finished it.
That game is fucking off the charts-to me, it's like Uncharted 2 level good. My only complaint would be that there is no way I would be able to do the higher difficulties!! I played on normal and that last chapter fucked me up-I completely ran out of ammo and health. Is the best strategy on that last level to just keep running or fight everything to get more supplies?
On my first playthrough I leveled up my Plasma Cutter, my Rig, Stasis and then started to work on the Pulse Rifle-that Pulse Rifle is a godsend against the kids.
Seriously man-I loved this game so much, I can't imagine anything else topping this in 2011-for me anyway.

So my highlights are The Ishumura, obviously. Going back through all those stages, but now with the tape and plastic is insane. The School is just fucked up, man. And that Halo jump had my jaw on the floor.

No-you only update your "Rig", and that gives you more to your base HP and Air. The Suits that you get add incremental inventory and HP increases-but also have abilities. The HAcker suit requires one less hack, and the Security Suit gives more damage to the Pulse Rifle, etc.
