Plasma Cutter, Contact Beam, Flamethrower, and Line is where it's at
I can't believe I'm gonna say this but EA is becoming one of my favorite companies. When they release a good game its really good. I'm only halfway through chapter 3 and I can't believe how awesome this game is. Apart from some of the monsters the game has some pretty awesome graphics. If they ever do a multiplayer DLC I'll be all on that day one.

Bought the game last night, and I have to admit, I was startled in a few areas. I got to a part where there was a dead monster on the ground. I thought to myself, "they're probably going to try a cheap scare and have it jump up at me." Sure enough, this happened, but I wasn't expecting the damn thing to leap up at me AFTER I killed it. :lol
That surprised me, for sure. Now, time to exit the thread before someone spoils something.

I like that weapon too. It's gotten a lot of hate around here, and it's true it's not as effective as some of the other weapons in some situations, but I think it might be the best weapon in the game when you're up against a single enemy. Usually when you have the saw out and it's cutting through an enemy, they can't attack, and even just one saw at the lowest upgrade level lasts long enough to be able to finish off most enemies if you dismember them right. It's a good ammo saver. And unlike the contact beam, it doesn't require any charge at all.

Fixed.
There are plenty of companies out there that make money off iterative releases. Capcom just happens to be very good at it.
With that said; Dead Space! I wanna have it's babies!

It's my primary weapon now. I got a tonne of ammo drops for it even though I was focusing on improving the Line Gun. Now I'm improving the Ripper because i don't see myself running out of ammo for it anytime soon. it works great against the fatties. Secondary fire and snipe a leg off a fatty waaaaay down a hall and watch it crawl after you....good times.
They do shit against those black/charred/heavy duty necromorphs that come from the fleshy bat creatures that hump the human corpses.

You have to get to the first Store at the end of the first chapter before you can change into the suit.
I've played through RE4 a lot and the only part of that game that ever made me feel scared was the very first time you run into the regenerators. I'm almost done with the first chapter and this shit already scares me. The controls in this game are also better than the controls in resident evil 4. I'd be disappointed if resident evil 5 has controls similar to RE4 and no way for you to at least walk and shoot like this game.bigdaddygamebot said:

it's not often I get to do this so...
read the thread nooben-sauzen!
So far I've been playing through on Medium with the normal suit, and I have to say I'm glad I didn't go with the DLC suit because it's not especially challenging as it is. I have died a few times, but only once from enemies. The others were...environmental hazards. :lol
Game's really fun, though. Can't wait to start playing again as soon as it gets dark. I know when I finish I'm going to be torn between playing again on my file to upgrade my weapons, or starting over on Hard with the DLC suit.

Don't play RE4 to be scared. Play it to be impressed. If you want to be freaked out, play ANY of the Silent Hill games...yeah, any of them.
You could also try Condemned.
Just Google RE5 and you can read a zillion things about it including the optional control scheme.
But back to Dead Space. Yay for this game. There wouldn't need to be any further releases this month and I'd be satisfied.

You have to use it at a store (It will say Elite at bottom for 0 credits). You'll find that later on in the chapter.

Just beat it, this game is awesome. Not sure if I can do another playthrough though. The game was excellent but I'm not feeling the desire to do it again.

Gonna pick up Dead Space as soon as I get my 360 back from MS, and am really looking forward to it, but am trying to decide how I should play through it first time.
I saw on this weeks 1UP Show that the default weapon is supposedly really effective, especially once it's maxed out, and that you can probably play through the game using nothing but this starting weapon. I had therefore planned to play through the game on normal, only using the pistol to add a bit of challenge. Does this sound like a good idea for a first play through? Will it be too difficult?
I'm also thinking about playing through it on hard first time, but with the scorpion suit equipped because I dont want it to be too frustrating first time through.
Which option do you think would be best?

how many chapters are there? i'm on chapter 6
when nicole is trying to unlock the door from across the room and you have to protect her
Darn! Why some devs always need to add "things like that"....like to add variety to the games!?!
Some weeks ago, The Force Unleashed with
......now Dead Space with
.... 
Amazing game anyway.
Some weeks ago, The Force Unleashed with
the whole pulling down the ship with Force debacle, plagued with erratic directions displayed at the screen, so you were..forced to basically pull it down by your own
the whole shooting asteroids thing.. ..the weapons overheat in a matter of nothing, there are blindspots ans to top it all you start with 85%..just with a few hits you're under 50% warning, then 25% critical..then throw someone telling you "just a minute"...a minute passes..."give me some more time"..
Amazing game anyway.

How long did it take?
Would you say it was as long as RE4?
Just finished Chapter 6. That might've been the best chapter so far. It was a lot more open than the previous ones with the multiple objectives, and the map started to come in real handy. Great boss fight too, though it was a bit easy for me since I happened to be loaded with a bunch of contact beam ammo. Looks like that weapon is what the War Hammer/Scythe is to Ninja Gaiden = the boss killer.
Zeliard said:
I found it hard to hit with the Contact Beam, I needed to stock up on Plasma cutter ammo for it.
I thought the same thing, but now I'm thinking chapter 7 is my favorite...each one just seems to get better.

I'm starting to think Force Gun is one of the best weapons in the game, and I haven't even upgraded it yet. I'd stick with it, though I use the plasma cutter and those three guns you listed for my full arsenal anyway.
