Squee Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 It's alright but after 4-5 levels it gets REALLY repetitive, and the "strategic dismemberment" is a bit of a gimmick. The atmosphere is great though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessier Ashpool Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just finished this the other day - really loved it. . . much better than I though it would be, especially with some of the minor innovations (floor guide so you don't get lost, holographic menus so you can't ever really "pause" the action), the gravity stuff and the overall excellent writing. Light up, smoke down, lights off, headphones on, pants covered in urine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ultravisitor Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 i started again a couple of days ago after my hard drive died. i've just made it to the 7th level and i'm enjoying it a lot. especially after watching the anime, which is predictable but very gory. anyway, i'm going back for more in about 10 minutes. p.s. left 4 dead is kick ass too and it will be even better when i get xbox live gold again.

Guest my usernames always really suck Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I haven't played it, but from what I've seen, it looks like they could've slapped the name "System Shock 3" on it and would've been believable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autopilot Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This game is a blast, it basically picks up where RE4 left off as far as blending action/survival/horror and making it work really well and create ball-tightening tension. My only gripe with it is that this has furthered my belief that silent protagonists in video games just seem stupid as games become more & more cinematic. [edit] ...and the final boss fight is so fucking awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Nelson just released the news that the Resident Evil 5 demo will be premiering exclusively on the Xbox 360 in less than 2 weeks on January 26th. Schwing! The demo will have three levels of co-op play including single-player with AI support, two-player split-screen on a single Xbox 360 and two-player across Xbox LIVE.

Guest abusivegeorge Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Bring on RE5, can't fucking wait, I remember being 14-16 and playing Resident Evils 1-3, this would mean staying awake for 12 hours all night, trying to complete it straight through in that time to get awarded the gatling gun, fuck yeah.

Guest ex-voto Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Dead space suprised me. Sound, graphics, gameplay (even if a bit too much console-ish on pc) worked really well together. I loved it when you died in the most gruesome way. The game was telling you to die in your own puke. Awesome to be honest . Too bad it was too short to upgrade decently the weapons. One time finished, it's finished though, sustainability of the game is poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One time finished, it's finished though, sustainability of the game is poor. yeah-ish.... i thought that, but you can start again with all the upgrades you bought by saving the game at the end and loading it. which i thought was sweet! it meant i could stand a chance at doing the hard difficulty but then i found its the same as resident evil 4 in the way that its the same difficulty as what you completed it in. i dunno though, it still makes sense to do it the way they did it. i want to play it again and try out the new suit and spend all that money i got on making my guy a walking tank, but i don't want to play through on medium again and it wouldn't be anywhere near as scary if you started with all that equipment.

It doesn't matter though because it really fits the game.) I tried to play the game again on hard, but it lost its feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved it when you died in the most gruesome way. Yeah, it was fun the first 6-7 times. But having to watch your character getting his arms, legs, spine, head, and dick ripped apart 10 times before you were able to load your save was a pain in the ass.

Guest sysex Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 i loved this game from beginning to end. played through it twice the first two weeks it was out. there are some little secrets and hidden tricks in the game. by examing the walls in the bathrooms in each zone, you can find inscriptions that give away the few 1 time cheats and re-usable cheats. the first letter of each chapter spell out the following. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « n.i.c.o.l.e.i.s.d.e.a.d Before I play again though, I'll probably do a little research into all the new DLC weapon and armor upgrades. I had to reformat my ps3 and I lost my "clear" games saves, which fkn sucks cause I wanted to do impossible mode and already collected nearly every trophy including "one gun". Trophies I still have syncd with PSN, however I can't load any game files that were associated with trophies. argh! which means i had to start LBP over again and Wipeout HD.
