This would actually work pretty well since there's 3-4 suit functions (zero g thrusters, kinesis, stasis, oxygen supply) that work and you can make up the rest of the stuff by having Isaac fix generators, get power supplies, realign solar panels etc.

I don't know if this has been posted or not, but
apparently you can actually kill the Regenerator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSFUuvJOhsw

That is the last time that you see him anyways I think, so it is a little redundant.
Just finished. I went through the entire game on Survivalist but on the final portion I knocked it down. That was a retarded finale. All I had was the line gun (x1 ammo) and the cutter and after about 15 times retrying I knocked it down.
Will restart NG+ soon I think.
Shoulda started on the next harder up from normal, I've never had so much extra ammo. I'm stocking my safe up like crazy and I'm only using the plasma cutter and force gun. I'm getting suprisingly efficient with the cutter, 1 horizontal shot for a leg and 1 vertical for an arm and the basic necros are down.

let us know how you do in last 2 chaptersgreenjerk said:
Beat Zealot last night.
Only used plasma cutter.
Had 18 power nodes, about 90,000 credits, and a safe full of all the other ammo and shit I didn't use.
You can easily decode the alien writings on the walls and shit (and on the title screen). They don't seem to say much other than the typical flavor text. If you need a mapping and you don't want to do any thinking, just take screenshots while viewing the credits.
Is there a point to doing NG+?
I don't see extra unlocked doors so far (I believe in DS 1, NG+ resulted in everything being open).
If there's nothing special about NG+ besides a couple of new suits and items, I'm just going to fire up hardcore mode instead.

They are unlocked if you have a save of Ignition, you find both the hacker suit and hacker contact beam in them, as well as a random assortment of goodies

Probably in the Severed DLC.
I hope not though, thought we might get to see some of the other areas of the Sprawl.

Got through to chapter 4-5 on Zealot. Thinking of knocking it down after hearing all about the enhanceds later on in the game. I think I'd much rather see what I'm getting myself into, then going at Zealot in NG+ with an idea of what'll happen later on in the game.

Don't listen to GAF regarding hard difficulties. If I hadn't listened to them, I'd be sitting on a completed Zealot run already. Smh.MarshMellow96 said:
Finished the game last night on Normal. Only used the plasma cutter and assault rifle and didn't find the difficulty to spike too much in the last few levels.
The ammount of monsters went up but I thought the point of that section was to run and get to the marker as fast as possible, not kill everything. The final boss fight was decent and I was satisfied with the ending. Will do some multiplayer next before a NG+

It's good if you have a team of people you know. Otherwise, don't bother because the fucktards pubbing are playing it like it's Call of Duty.

DAMMIT! I wish I had seen this like 13 hours ago when I beat the game. Running from that thing nearly gave me a heart attack! Way too much stress on my blood pressure, especially when you combine the chase with the other necromorphs. I have to say that I LOVED Dead Space 2. Huge fan of the first game ad the sequel did NOT disappoint! I'm on play-through two now having fun with the weapons, and milking achievements.

Oops yea, you're right. I was thinking about the conduit rooms. You know now that I think about it, those conduit rooms really changed the difficulty of the games. I would have had more trouble early on if I didn't have the hacker suit, not to mention the free extra ammo, med kits, nodes, conductors etc. from the rooms. Also, I feel like the hacker contact beam really is a tad overpowered when maxed up lol
Patryn said:
O you meant the other random doors that were just plain locked throughout the game, forgot about those. It could be possible that they're for dlc like someone else said. EA did say that the first DLC will be with 2 different that is happening concurrently with Issac's story

Fuck yea, Rivet Gun. But it depletes so fast, can someone tell me if it's a good idea to use the Rivet Gun contineously, with ammo depletion in mind. Rather upgrade then go gung ho, then going gun ho in zealot mode so early.

Do you need to COMPLETE Ignition to get those rooms?

I haven't beaten it yet so correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they let NG+ carry over to higher difficulties now. However, I believe hardcore mode starts you from square one every time. That's part of what makes it hardcore.Why For? said:
Good news everyone
Dead Space 2 Tops UK charts
And holy fuck at the 360 version getting 56% of sales.
Dead Sapce was advertised as a PS3 game, got Extraction as a bonus and was only on one disc, and the 360 version still sold like a beast.
wow.

Yes, it obviously means that the PS3 is dead in Europe.NotTheGuyYouKill said:

Holy fuck, 56%!??!! That's like, slightly more than half!Why For? said:
Seriously though, what are the installed user bases for each system in Europe? This is not that shocking. I think you overestimate the draw of the bonus content in the PS3 version.

Drat.

Course not.
Just surprising. In the US, weren't Arkham Asylum sales really close thanks to the extras the PS3 version got? (or something like that?). The gap between the 2 isn't much at all in the UK compared to the US, so I honestly would have thought that Dead Space would be one of the games where the PS3 version would either match, or even outsell the 360 one.
I don't know if you saw the ads, but man, if you didn't know any better, you would have thought it was a PS3 exclusive.
GrotesqueBeauty said:
Basically a free Wii game in HD that supports move? That's pretty significant. You're essentially getting 2 games for the price of one. Your 2 discs are 2 games on PS3, on 360 your 2 discs are 1 game.

I'm still somewhat early in, about 2-3 hours gameplay-wise... maybe i'll keep my mouth shut and see how bad it gets. I just remember being short on ammo almost all the time in DS1. i'm trying to keep spoiler free but now i remember some posts talking about the end being hard.
/don't get cocky kid
LiK said:
It's a multi-branching path game, and fully half the achievements require you to take every branch. Which means multiple playthroughs.
Trust me: It's not worth it. I beat the thing once and I hated every minute.
GrotesqueBeauty said:
The PS3 only accounted for 40 percent (PC is the other 4 percent). When you compare 56 percent to 40 percent, it looks a bit bigger doesn't it?
And that number really does shock me. I thought I was one of the few who was getting it on 360 since they were pushing the PS3 version so hard (I had a completed DS1 360 save plus I prefer the 360's controller).
For those still wondering what goodies are in the Dead Space 2 CE (all two of you by now), I made an unboxing video. I even show what the Plasma Cutter looks like all lit up!

GODDAMN HOLY FUCK.
The difficulty just went through the roof! In an almost annoying way but not yet. It's fucking riveting just making it out of a room just by the skin of my teeth, with the
on my heels.
Can't take to much more of this though, very very low on ammo, especially for my non-Plasma Cutter weapons.
I'm almost at the end, I think.

Nicole just said "This is it, Issac" in the save/store/bench room after the Regenerator chase.
