A little of both. What i really hope is that the game will offer me an experience so engaging that i'll want to play through it more than once. Like RE4.
How are the weapons? I've heard that there is a limited amount, but customizing them more than makes up for that. Would you agree with that?
Well I just got it a couple of hours ago and I can tell you that the ones I have are awesome. So basically, the cutter (main weapon) and Line Gun are the shit. I believe there are 8 weapons, each having a unique primary and secondary fire, not too mention stasis and force lift powers (forget how to spell the term :\)
Anyways, combat is fun, in the med labs they were flanking me using the vents. I died.
Game is amazing... Just paused at a part in chapter 2 where
some dude with his back turned to me is standing still banging his head against the wall,over and over and over not sure what to expect when I go past him
if you ask me, it's a definite purchase for anyone who:
[1] loves horror
[2] loved the weapon upgrade/purchase system in re4.
i'm already planning another go through the game, adjusting my upgrading strategy, thinking about ways to use the other weapons i haven't picked up yet. . . it seems to have a lot of depth that i think either of the two groups of people mentioned above will adore. i think it also has atmosphere out the wazoo.
How does one get the pre-order code for the Scorpion Suit if Gamestop doesn't have my email? I was never given a code at checkout, nor asked for my email.
Man I fucking love the environments. It makes me feel like I'm inside the Nostromo from Alien. High tech, yet gritty and tactile. I never touch the run button, I just love walking around looking at everything. Just wish I had a more powerful flashlight.

that part was awesome. I'm trying to convince my friend to buy the game (he's on a console break right now) so I showed him that part. He's going to buy it tomorrow.
I'm one of those people that doesn't easily get spooked by horror movies or scary games, so I used to laugh at the people who can't play at night or jump all the time. Well, I encountered my first real, genuine jump tonight. It was somewhere in Chapter 3 or 4, and I was going around a corner, and all of a sudden
the lights flash and there's a loud, quick shriek.
I sat a little straighter in my chair after that. :lol I'm really happy that the "scary" stuff isn't "cheap scary."
Either way, this game has some freaking badass moments. Scripted, non-scripted, and scripted turned into non-scripted. Great game.
Would you guys suggest moving down to Medium? I'm about 45 minutes into Chapter 1 and I'm getting frustrated because I am incessantly dying. If I do move down, there's no mid-game change, is there? Kinda suck to have to redo do everything, but I'm not far enough where I wouldn't mind.
The lack of ammo is killing me and it takes so many shots to dismember them on hard...
Well apparently i bought two copies of the game. I thought that the EA store sold through their 1000 copies of the extra special LE edition but now i got an email telling me that they just shipped it. But i already picked up a copy from EB yesterday. Well since i am enjoying the game no way in hell am i returning it. Either way if you are willing to wait ill shoot you over the copy of the game from the LE box, since as i said i already cracked open the regular one unless its other than a normal game case in the LE because i kind of might want it.
Disappointingly, I haven't found it to be the least bit scary. :\
The game play is solid and I am enjoying it quite a bit, however. It's just that I was REALLY hoping for something more atmospheric. Problem here is simply that they seem to use a lot of musical cues and loud noises to highlight enemy attacks rather than creepy sound effects. What made Shock 2 so damn scary was the sound and nothing here really compares in that area.

I was in the same position and I switched to medium and I'm glad I did. It's still a decent challenge but I am able to enjoy the story and all the things I like about the gameplay without getting gnawed to death and frustrated to hell. And I hear the enemies only get harder and swarm in numbers...Nothing wrong with NOT playing on Hard IMHO. Especially if it's going to just frustrate you to hell.
PS3 version. Seems like a good choice. The framerate is almost a rock solid 30 fps with only very minor slowdown in a few instances. It looks fantastic.

Glad I'm not the only one. If there's one thing I hate it's the pressure to play a game on hard to get the most satisfaction out of it, but you constantly want to smash your head through the TV/wall. I'm LOVING the game so far and there's a great balance and it's only going to get SO MUCH BETTER..
Depends really...I actually use the cutter A LOT and have upgraded it to the max...I sold the ripper because I did not like it and it was just annoying to use and that gave me like 50K and I bought 5 nodes with that, very helpful. It's tough to say, which weapon are you looking at? There's nothing better than a maxed weapon, I always say.

I am pretty sure most people stick to one, maybe two weapons tops.
