    Honestly, this was mostly me as well

    But then I find that once you die a few times, survival-horror games get way less intense

    like, OH GOD OH GOD LOOK AT THAT LOVECRAFTIAN MONSTROSITY OH GOD WHERE IS MY AMMO

    and then you die and you're all "oh hey so I guess i just respawn at the last checkpoint huh. that ain't so bad"

    Probably the most terrifying horror game would be one that kept you constantly on the brink of death but in which you never died

    By the time I got to my sixth playthrough of Dead Space it really wasn't scary at all anymore, but still tense

    another vital element in horror games is the fast enemy that is incredibly difficult to hit, which dead space neatly neutralizes by letting you freeze enemies in the air

    the first time you encounter the super-fast mutants (in the captain's quarters) I just froze that fucker mid-air and chopped him into pieces

    I have been playing this game nonstop since Thursday night when I bought it

    Spoilers all up ins
    Didn't they say Sherry was gonna be in this? I've finished the normal game and no Sherry, although both the Wesker fights are intense as all hell. And yeah the Jill bit was easy enough to guess

    BODY ARMOUR TAKES UP AN ENTIRE SLOT?

    I SPIT ON YOU, INVENTORY

    guns take up a slot, AMMO take up a slot, fucking eggs take up a slot, fucking hell

    even the god damn shock stick isn't a knife replacement, it's just another weapon

    bad memories of the old RE inventory are coming back, 6 slots and 3 have to be taken up with an ink reel, a gun and ammo

    nope, its 9 slots (a 3x3 grid, 4 slots you can quickswitch to). So if you're holding 3 weapons with 3 types of ammo, that's 2/3 of your inventory taken up. You really have to balance item holding with your partner and can't bring your whole arsenal with you

    it's a nightmarish combination

    you have limited slots, like original REs, you have 9 of them

    but it fuses it with the case from RE4 a bit where ammo takes up space. kind of fun in that game cause you'd bee stackin' all your amoo neatly in one corner and lining up your weapons and grenades and stuff, but in this game it doesn't gel

    and another thing, you have as many weapons as re4 with snipers and pistols and magnums but you don't have the slots to carry them so you have to store them away which means i never bring my grenade launcher out

    That's too bad

    the RE4 system worked pretty well, and trying to arrange your shit to cram everything in was almost like a fun puzzle minigame sometimes

    I was always happy when I managed to free up room for a whole new gun without throwing anything out

    Wait, does each type of ammo just take up one slot, or is it like RE4 where you could only have like 10 rounds in a slot before it started filling up another one?

    There's a max ammo in a slot. I've never hit it though because i'm always low as hell on every kind

    Upgrading capacity on a gun and grenade rounds, otherwise no. Replaying the first level part of the first level gives a bunch of herbs etc.

    Played this for a while last night, and I'm pretty sure that this is the first game that's been scary and set in the daytime. Weird.

    Also that first guy, with the big axe? Man that looked amazing. Watching him spin round tearing down little buildings and hack other zombies to shit; this game is just so pretty.

    Oh hey I bought this yesterday. I got the collector's edition, though I'm regretting it because the contents just aren't that great. Steelbook case is lovely, though

    other than that the game has been wonderful thus far

    so do people not know about shaka zulu or how the zulus fought or what

    because the zulu nation was united only 200 years ago and used spears and wore grass skirts so....

    also, the ganados were living a life like medieval peasantry and then there was the whole castle and catapults and the monks

    that doesn't mean he couldn't just be a person in africa.

    arms dealing is more common than a balanced diet in that place

    the main problem I had with the REs other than 4 was that holy fuck I do not want to backtrack every five minutes and I should not need to worry about killing a single zombie because I only have 3 fucking bullets and apparently beating it to death with a chair leg or something is just such a crazy idea
