Dead Space - The blades only cover one half of the fucking asteroid. Seriously.

Meissnerd

ok the running necromorphs are the scariest shit huargahfgahagh

one of them ran up to me, stopped, started writhing, then ran at me again

it's the first time i couldn't look at the game, I just started mashing buttons

but i guess I had managed to stasis it and cut off both of its arms. so my scared self is very precise, I guess

Shorty

Probably my favorite thing in this game is using stasis on guys as they run and jump at you, then eviscerating them with the Ripper while they're still hovering in the air. I watch as the stasis wears off and a pile of ugly meat falls onto the floor, like horrifying poetry.

Also, I like to call the ripper the Angry Gun, because as long as you have it equipped, the blade is spinning and the whole gun is shaking. I pretend that it's growling.

Green

ahahahaha

Chapter 5

The Regenerator is just hilarious when you have a fully upgraded Force Gun

BOOM, legs fly across the room

BOOM, arms and head

Then while he's mid-animation getting back up I blow his legs off again, the animation finishes and then he just topples

The Black Hunter

I like stasising enemies and watching them float up as I delicately remove their limbs

Muggins

I think this game makes people stupid.

I mean a lot of these puzzles are pretty easy.

AHH!

I'm glad the puzzles are easy

give me more goobers to blast

The Black Hunter

The puzzles are easy, but also fun.

The only one I found tedious was the

"find the gasbag men" one

Anyone else notice how good the checkpoint system was? I could always go back to get more ammo, yet rarely pulled me too far from where I got to

Moriveth

Oh wait, you guys were talking about Mirrors Edge, I thought you were referring to Dead Space.

Shorty

The only puzzle that sucked for me was the one where

you had to drag the Marker through like five rooms.

FrylockHolmes

i really sort of hated that one enemy type that's like a guy plastered to a wall that shoots out little pods that then shoot at you

the very first one i encountered was really easy to kill, there was an explosive canister nearby that i just tossed at it but besides that i never really figured out an efficient way to kill those fuckers

but then i never really focused on many of the weapons beyond the plasma cutter, pulse rifle thing and the line gun

Vann Diras

The only weapons I ever used in this game were the Plasma Cutter, Pulse Rifle and Line Gun

and maybe halfway through I sold off the Line Gun

FrylockHolmes

the line gun was super useful in certain situations

like you could kill the babies in one shot with it if you aimed right, even the darker strong baby things

The best way to kill them is with the plasma cutter. Just cut off all the tentacles that attach themselves to the wall.

The line gun is good, but I found the contact beam to have a far more useful alternate fire, and since they both have big ammo, I decided to drop the line gun. I wound up using the Ripper the most, though, since it is by far the most economical gun.

FrylockHolmes

oh yeah, I picked up the contact beam towards the end of the game because I had a ton of money and not a lot to spend it on, it was a pretty fun thing especially when you knew something was going to be around a corner so you had time to charge it up

Shorty

The alternate fire on the contact beam is fucking great when you're getting overrun with dudes.

I got so much fucking ripper ammo for some reason

I had something like 12 sets of the stuff in the bank by the end of the game

Me too. It's because you really only need one blade per enemy if you're using it right.

Theidar

I only used the Plasma cutter and line gun.

Blake T

I'm only in chapter four and will stick the plasma cutter unless those little tiny running dudes show up.

Though I also used it one time.

When a random people corpse started reanimating itself. It took it down fair economically.

FrylockHolmes

the plasma cutter is just a very good all around weapon, the achievement to do the whole game only using it seems pretty possible. things would definitely suck when you run into the swarms of small crawling enemies though

Stasis them, then start chucking shit with the kinesis module.

Orikaeshigitae

chucking exploding cans works well for me.

trentsteel

I like chucking the cans. Sometimes I bring a bunch with me from room to room.


Also they can take out the fat dude in the wall in one hit.

Kazhiim

so what's the story with Noknownsurvivors? I've gone through and watched 'em all, but I'm confused.

Urian

im on chapter 9 and i pretty much roll with an almost fully upgraded plasma cutter, flamethrower, and plasma rifle exclusively

Meissnerd

I use the plasma cutter, pulse rifle and force gun

i have the ripper but i don't find it to be really reliable. none of my weapons are upgraded, though; it all went to my rig

I think I spent at least half of my play time in half-life 2 moving explosives and saw blades from room to room

Does it make you feel like a hobo when you do it? I always feel like I'm hoarding junk when I do it. WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT I NEED THIS STUFF. Sure could use a shopping cart...

The rig is all well and good, but upgrade your weapons, seriousely

i've been upgrading the plasma cutter and the pulse rifle

I found the flamethrower to be pretty unimpressive, requiring more ammo than is justifiable.

The Black Hunter

Just concentrate on one I reckon

The pulse rifle is so fun when fully upgraded

When you first buy it do the bullets explode on impact? or is that just when it's fully upgraded

Meissnerd

i might as well finish the plasma cutter

i'm at chapter 11 though

The Black Hunter

It's cool, run through the game again

it is still fun when you have awesome weapons

Meissnerd

haha i don't think i could take another run through; i am such a wimp

plus i have to return it to blockbuster soon

The Black Hunter

This game didn't scare me at all

I think I jerked once, and felt genuine suspense once or twice

Otherwise I was just a dude walking through a ship, ruining alien zombie days

trentsteel

Meisnerd I ALSO have to return mine but to a more awesome store called Movie Studio. If you have not seen their selection of movies you are a poor and wretched human being. Blockbuster only carries Martin Lawrence movies and entire shelves of WILD HOGS now anyway.

Meissnerd

bioshock got me a lot more (looking at you, fort frollic)

there might be something at the end that gets me in dead space

besides that horrible moment last night with the runners, nothings got to me that badly

I am a poor and wretched human. Where are they located?

trentsteel

Meisnsnerd you are supporting the commienazis going there to Blockbuster

The Black Hunter

Those twitching bastards are a pain
