make a big OP. my SE++ friends list is pretty much full with people playing this thang.

i yam jealous

Beef Avenger

If post their gamertags or pm me them I'll start up a list of folks playing online

From what I've heard this game is really only meant to be played co-op. Or at least that the partner AI is pretty bad and you have to constantly rearrange eachother's inventories.

I'm playing through solo before hitting up coop. At times your partner does some silly stuff, but really it's not an issue for the most part, and defintely not game breaking. The inventory thing is definitely tough in this game, say you want 3 weapons (pistol/shotgun/sniper), with ammo that takes up 2/3 of your inventory space. Mix only having a couple guns in with scarce ammo and it can get pretty intense

Charles Kinbote

does this game have same-screen co-op?

my roommate and I have been hunting for some good new co-op game

Futore

yo Veretas, get your jew self on L4D

Nik Huze

This game is so fucking intense. Great succesor to RE 4. If anyone else is still on the first chapter, feel free to hit me up for co-op. Gamertag same as forum name.

I own it. I couldn't bring myself to play more than maybe ten minutes.

I think the introduction is probably the "scariest" part, then it just goes headlong into frantic action for the rest of the game (aside from some tense parts near the end)

True, though I think the village setting as a whole is the "scary" part of the game

but after that, yeah, it's balls-out action the rest of the way

Theidar

Shit I forgot all about this coming out, need to pick this up post haste.

Beef Avenger

Anyone else play through the humvee bit yet? Shooting dirt biking zombies has pretty much been the biggest highlight so far. All the explosions made it feel like a movie

So you should totally try it past the beginning Larlar, because horror games fuck me up something fierce (like, I can barely play System Shock 2) and I consider RE4 to be an awesome action game, with a horror motif.

Is dis on da pee cee

I've watched a friend play through pretty much the whole game. I know that if I had been playing alone, the part with the alien thing and the tanks of liquid nitrogen would've given me a heart attack. I'm fine with scary games and movies as long as I'm not in control because I perceive it differently. I can disassociate myself from the danger.

I just can't get past the idea or something scaring me enough that I drop the controller and zombie dogs start eating my character and it's all my fault. I don't want that kind of responsibility.

Davoid

the guilt of the video game player

all allowing their character to be zapped by alien lobster monster lasers

never forgiving themselves

never forgetting

Larlar you need to play Dead Space right now

Fandyien

I got about two hours into deadspace and nearly had a fucking anyeurism because I was so scurred. I've never beaten a survival horror game.

Larlar don't listen to him he is trying to trick you!

Fandyien

Sometimes I watch youtube videos of all the survival horror games I wish I had the balls to play through, though.

I don't know who to believe! I better play it, based entirely on the serene connotation of the game's title!

That's it

I am buying this game right the hell now

Muggins

Oh god

There were so many different deaths in Dead Space

Each more gruesome than the last.

Orikaeshigitae

dead space is ridiculously good. i think i've played through it three times.

Fandyien

It's fun but I can't figure out what weapons to use or how to balance my inventory because I always feel like something is going to sneak up and buttfuck me right when I need the thing I decided not to buy.

Larlar

Fandyien, we are kindred spirits, you and I.

Fandyien

Kindred cringing cowards.

Muggins

Dead Space's ingame menu's were awesome though

More games need to use that.

Larlar

That's nothing to be ashamed of as long as no one finds out.

Orikaeshigitae

i actually got most of the way through the game on impossible until i hit that goddamn asteroid minigame. fuck that shit.

Davoid

Is it bad that I find SS2 to be by far the scariest game I have ever played?

Like, I can take Dead Space and all that with no trouble, but SS2 just screws me up bad, even with the old, silly looking models.

I still consider Metroid 2 for the Game Boy to be one of the scariest games I've ever played.

Fandyien

I tried to play through Silent Hill 2 in eighth or nineth grade and I still can't listen to radio static without getting tense.
