Worst match ever. 14 kills, 74 deaths.Kittonwy said:Fuck we lost.

So, I'm getting to the last bit of the game on my Superhuman run. I just made it to London last night which means I'm at the "mall." dum dum dum 
I found this to be the most difficult part when I was playing on Hard so I'm not really looking forward to it. There's nothing inherently hard about the level, it's just that the first checkpoint is sooooo far into the level, it's not remotely funny. By this point in the game, I'm a surgeon with the weapons in SP. Playing in Superhuman though, you almost have to play it in a very specific way to get through the levels. It becomes more of a skill-based puzzle than an action game.
I don't even have the "no hits by crawler or berserker" skill points yet. That's how difficult this level is. I tried playing it on easy to get those points and those are definitely the hardest skill points to get. Still haven't gotten them.
I just really want the special ops and skeleton head. I've put the time into SP and would really like to extract some of that to have some more fun in MP.
If there's something I really think they need to improve in RFOM 2, it would have to be an increase in the frequency in checkpoints. It works in Ratchet to spread them out but Ratchet doesn't get HARD like Resistance does. Even if you die in R&C, you still don't have to go and break all the boxes again. In RFOM, you have to do everything again. I don't want Halo checkpoints where there's 1 every 10 seconds, I think that would make game too easy, just make them a little more frequent.

The lower London/Mall section is TOUGH on Superhuman. It took me a couple weeks at least to get through that whole section. I remember back when I was doing it, reporting my progress (or lack thereof,) from time to time with the Clan in lobby chat, and my wonderful teammates having a good laugh at my expense.
You do have to be surgical with the weapons. You have to know every nook and cranny and dissect each piece with strategy and execute that strategy with skill.
It will give you a tremendous sense of accomplishment when you get through it though, and, if you aren't already, you'll be a beast with the Auger (and probably a few other weapons in the arsenal) as a result.
Good luck!

Yes. I went back to SP Resistance yesterday having left in frustration at one point and after getting past that part it was annoying as fuck to fight through like four separate skirmishes without a checkpoint. It's the worst part of the game, without a doubt.~Devil Trigger~ said:
Helpful hint for the Mall: Lay down a big circular Sapper patch before you approach the door/archway that connects the two courtyard areas inside. This should wipe out the majority of that first leaper spawn when you trigger their appearance. If you're going for the Skill point this helps a ton as there's only a relatively few randoms outside by the helicopter to deal with before you enter the tunnels. Sapper near the egg clusters when you get inside the tunnels and you should be able to get those skill points.
On a more general note, Superhuman really taught me the absolute beauty of the Fareye's secondary fire

I used the Auger a ton in Bracknell (the Tunnels) last night.
That would have been damn near impossible without it.I seriously wonder if the game is even completeable at Super Human without the extra weapons you get from your first play through like the Arc Charger and the Backlash Grenades. Has anybody at Insomniac tried it?
BTW: The Arc Charger is the perfect weapon for crawlers and leapers and the Reapers are the best melee weapons ever. There are spots in the game where I wouldn't have made it past if not for the Reapers.

I know I did it without the Arc Charger (I used to think it was useless. Boy was I wrong.) and I don't recall using the pistols either. I may have used the Backlash though!
FredFish: Yeah, the Fareye secondary fire is an absolute necessity in Superhuman mode.

to have save/checkpoints after every fight just makes you seem invincible i a way(not literally). its like...you die, and you're back exactly where you were but with ful health and what..more ammo sometimes.
checkpoints need to be broken into parts that make sense to the lenght or size of that level.
im one with no problem with original DMC3 so....

That level represents everything I hate about FPS design. It is 100% trial and error. There is absolutely no way to beat that level without dying first and then rethinking (while you're dead) how to reapproach things.

Steroyd said:Login go to My Profile and under your name it say link, you're supposed to put in your PS3's Mac address along with your PSN ID and wala you can see your Kill Death ratio.
Mine is .591
K I gotta get the MAC address from the PS3 (were do I find it on the PS3?)
PS: Don't worry about your Kill Death Ratio, mine is utterly disgusting! Seriously!
Wow either the new patch changed the whole balance on resistance or I'm just plain rusty!

I played today for the first time in months, after playing so many other FPS's I was doing terrible. I thought they changed the auto-aim strength but I just needed to change my sensitivity and I was back to my first place ways.
I might have to get back into the weekly GAF games again. I just don't want to play Somerset and it seeems like it's the most common map :[

Its probably just rust. In online games its difficult to take a long break and come back expecting to be just as good as before. My stats have been declining too. I was approaching a 2.5 kd and I am now slightly less than a 2.1.
