Huh I thought I saw a copy at a too yesterday. Oh well I gotta take a defected garou game back anyway. Btw you are back in japan again marvel?
This game is fucking amazing. The layering of complexity and set pieces is just absolutely AAA top notch. As a player, I feel like the dev team went piece by piece from one end of the game to another and made sure that every possible minute of the game was as good as it could possibly be. Just absolutely fantastic.
I sincerely hope this game sells well enough to start a franchise, because the art direction, gameplay, graphics, everything, it's all highest tier stuff and I want to play more games of its ilk. Best new IP in a long time. A+, 5/5, I give it whatever the hell you want EA Redwood Shores.

I bought it from there at the weekend and the shelf was bare this afternoon. Do ask though, as they tend to hide stuff behind the counter on the odd occasion.BudokaiMR2 said:

Still digging on the game. It's been a while since a single player game has pulled me in like this. I find myself thinking about playing the game throughout the day :lol I'm sure I would have finished it by now, but I only play at night, like I'm sure most everyone does.
Soon as I finish this, I'm going to get back to Silent Hill (only an hour in). I just hope Dead Space doesn't make it feel shitty.
boss fight with the hentai tentacle monster was ok.

Getting this for PC tomorrow. Can't wait.
Beat it! Damned fun. Now to make sense of the story... I don't think I have all the motivations sorted out.
was a Chapter 11 spoiler. I kept waiting for that, then realized it was from the very beginning. Doh.

It would help to have ammo... the charge beam takes off tentacles with one hit, but don't forget about the explosives floating around. You only need ammo for the tentacles. You can just use kinesis on the turd spitting sphincter. Keep at it. I had very little ammo as well. Make sure you are fairly close to the tentacle weak points when you fire at them.
RPS37 said:
Honestly, if you're really low on ammo and can't sell anything to get more ammo (especially contact energy, which works wonders in that fight), it might be better to try and reload a recent save if you can from back when you had more money or things to sell. I kept multiple saves each chapter for reasons like this (learned the hard way back in the first Ninja Gaiden that it's not that tough to get stuck in these near-impossible situations), though I never ended up having to revert to an older one.
I don't remember how many explosives are laying around during that fight. Kinesis + explosives does work well, but obviously only if there are enough around.
Zeliard said:
I need help on Chapter Six too. For clarification:
Getting the tentacles off is easy. What am I shooting for when the spincter is doing it's thing? Do I shoot directly in the mouth or off to the side? Should I be shooting the rocks when they are in the mouth? I'm not getting enough feedback that tells me what I should do.
Draft said:
Pretty cool if true. My first time through the game was on medium and I didn't use kinesis as often as I should though there are usually tons of items laying around each room. I did abuse stasis however, especially later on when it becomes pretty much necessary. I maxed out stasis eventually, but I didn't put a single upgrade node into kinesis. Doesn't seem to be worth it. It doesn't do anything but increase the range on it, right?
I want to go through the game at some point using nothing but the plasma cutter and lots of kinesis, for a different experience.
Dyno said:
Yeah, shoot the mouth when the tentacles are gone. I basically shot at it during the times when it wasn't preparing that rock thing in its mouth - basically right after it would launch one at me and its mouth was momentarily empty. I don't know if you can shoot it when the rock is in its mouth, or rather, if that does anything.
Kinesis upgrade only increases the range. Kind of nice from a convenience standpoint.
Honestly, I think the game is a little too stingy with the upgrades. You can only max out a single weapon, maybe get 1/3rd or halfway on another weapon, and get your suit's HP topped off. And that's it on a single playthrough. It seems like maybe the intent is to upgrade yourself over multiple playthroughs, and that's how the upgrade balance is designed, but that doesn't make much sense.

Draft said:
It makes ZERO sense without the ability to slide up a difficulty level on replay. I am currently about to finish my second run(chapter 10), trying to max out everything, and even spending massive cash resources on power nodes as well as finding them all again, I -still- won't be able to max out everything until a 3rd playthrough. I still have at least two guns that are untouched with nodes.
Also, the game is a cakewalk on replay. Like stupidly easy, and I am playing on hard. Meanwhile Impossible mode is sitting there waiting for me now, but I'll have to start with a clean slate?
Did no one think this through at EA?
Draft said:
I can understand the intent and reasoning behind that. It makes new game + more valuable and increases the replay value, since it's virtually impossible to max everything out on one playthrough or even come close, especially if you're also buying new suits along the way. So I actually like that aspect of it.
What is annoying to me and unfortunate are the gimped DLC suits, which makes the fact that you can't carry a new game + over to a higher difficulty more frustrating. Maxed out at level 2 defense and not able to have the armor upgraded? What's the point of that? I was going to go through the game on hard with one of those suits for my second playthrough, but that looks like it would only make things a lot harder when you get to the point where you can start buying the level 3 suit and can't because you're already sporting a fake level 5 suit which only really has the inventory slots bonus. They need to release some non-gimped suits, or at least allow the option of upgrading their defense, because they do look cool and should be as useful for gameplay as they are for the change in visuals.
It probably wouldn't make much sense even if you could slide up difficulty on new game+, at least the way the game's balanced now. You're right, and end game Isaac is a fucking monster, and basically invulnerable to regular early game enemies. Even with the enemy damage cranked up, you're still rocking huge armor, huge HP and at least one retarded strong weapon.Brandon F said:
I actually wish there wasn't a new game +, but that you did get maybe 30% more nodes in a single playthrough.

wow, EA is really stepping up.. gotta have this game.
Draft said:
I actually went through the entire game on medium without putting a single node at all in Isaac's Rig, including hit points. I guess it would've been a cool visual to see the HP bar on his back get longer and longer, but I didn't feel it was necessary with the defense going up every suit level upgrade, and I only ended up dying a few times (mostly from the environment). On hard, though, nodes are definitely going into HP.
endlessflood said:
All except the Epic Tier 3 Engineer (and the Platinum one of course). Impossible's gonna be a bitch to play, but that's where the best part of the game should be.
Draft said:
Depends on the difficulty level. In medium you can upgrade everything in just 2 playthroughs. Provided you search for everything, opened all power node doors, and be smart with your ammo and items. Avoid using medium medkit and sell them, and sell all air can, stasis refill, ammo of guns you don't use.
When you finish the game you get rewarded with
loads of cash and power nodes

finishing up Chapter 5 in Dead Space....when all of sudden the graphics turned vector/cel-shaded. It looked cool, but really weird. At first I thought maybe it was because of the
, but then I went back to the tram, and it was the same deal. I shut off the 360 and when I turned it back on, no picture, only audio...and wonderful white dots on a black screen. Thanks Dead Space! Now my 360 is dead at the worst possible time....nooooooooo!!

Neep help on Chapter 7
where you need to plant whatever it is onto the asteroid and shoot it out into space. I'm not sure how to land on the asteroid without getting cut in half by the two sweeping blades. I've tried using Stasis on everything, but maybe I'm just not using it on the right parts...

Oh, and if you haven't yet, watch the six issues of animated comics. SO good. EA could easily have a movie franchise here.

Notice the pattern of the slicing blades? They move inward and then outward. You need to jump near the edge of the asteroid when they go in and then run on the astroid to the outside before they swing back. This is where the other tethers will be. Hope that helps/

I can't get over how amazing this game looks. Wish it were actually scary (it's shocking in a few places, some good jump scares here and there, but I don't find it "scary") but the game has been a blast so far.

I'm loving this game. But I do have one question: what's up with the weirdo suit? Isaac looks like one of the Celestials out of Marvel comics.
