Suit I'm using is +15% med pack usage. (not DLC) :cool: New game+ on Zealot, it's pretty easy so far but I started out with extra ammo, it's getting a bit more scarce now that I'm progressing though.

Hard core soon. Rage incoming! :eek:

I wish I picked up detonator for my first run through though, that's a freaking insane weapon.

I've just finished my first play though, just shy of 10 hours, I'm going to start on Zealot next. Was going to go straight for Hard core but weapons etc don't carry forward for New Game + do they?

I think Hard Core would be prett much impossible. 3 saves to spread through the entire game with limited ammo and health? :eek:

The only way I can see it might be possible is with a Resident Evil style 1 gun with infinite ammo type scenario.
 
Holy cow. The last two levels were a nightmare. I was just legging it for dear life and hoping I'd get through in one piece.
 
Not played DS2, but I've still not completed the 1st still playing thru it, have to admit it's one of the most intense games I've played, has me on edge all the time, takes me about an hour to get thru one section cause I walk so slowly thinking somethings gonna jump out lol.
 
I'm getting fed up of the game going into "cheap mode" where it throws a ridiculous amount of enemies at you all at once:mad:
I've noticed a few glitches as well for fighting enemies. Like in one room where I had to face a few enemies I found if I stood in a certain place the enemies wouldn't go for me unless I moved forward. So i'd just move forward,pick one off then move back and reload or whatever before picking off another enemy :D
 
Just on chapter 2 and as I have a new gamertag I'm gonna have to try and get loads of achievements in one playthrough on this. :p


By the way, what's disk 2 for, multiplayer?

I have noticed "trigger" points too Doorways are a god send it's quite amusing

ahh I'm being chased - open door - stand in door turn around - they lost interest and are walking away - one step inside oh interest again.

SPOILER BELOW























Stand in the lift when the raptors/chargers come!
 
Playing Casual and up to Chapter 6..
This seems pretty hard for causal difficulty.. and I managed to do DS1 on Impossible!

Not looking forward to Hardcore mode.. might do it on Zealot first to get used to the change in difficulty!

Why on earth would you play on Casual...

Disk 2 is 2nd half of the game... though I'm not entirely sure why this game needs two discs compared to the first game as it seems about the same length, if not slightly shorter...

I'm currently using the Elite Engineer suit, but that Elite Advanced Suit looks the dogs danglies!

Armor - 25%
Inventory Space - 25
Bonuses - +10% All Guns DMG and +15% Stasis Duration

OM NOM NOM!!!


I've decided to do a speed run through on Normal again, just to grab all the Elite suits and get my weapons pimped.

Then when I go for the Zealot run i'll have maxed weapons, and an Elite Rig to make it easier.

Surprised how fast you can actually do the game, did chapters 1-7 last night in 2hrs 30mins!

Stupid scary game!

Sitting in the dark last night, headphones on with the sound cranked up and I didn't realise the wife had come in the room behind me. I did when she put her hand on my head... :eek::eek::eek:
 
Chapters 1-7 are fairly easy I think, with only 2 parts in particular I think will annoy me, so I might do hardcore and not save until after those chapters!

Zealot is toughening up now that I'm getting low on ammo, it's my second playthrough with an elite suit and upgraded rig/stasis/plasma cutter, working on seeker rifle now. This is going to be a nightmare with zero upgrades (starting out), suits and credits on hardcore. :(

Yup, I reckon you can power through the entire first disc without needing to save without much hassle.

I'm assuming that when it says no checkpoints, that it means within the chapter you are in... so say if I saved on Ch7, and got to Ch10, and then died, it wouldn't send me back to Ch7, it'd send me back to the start of Ch10...

Yeah?
 
you collect power nodes and when you find a workbench you can use the power nodes on a skill tree type set up for each item

so additional rounds the gun can hold, faster reload, increased damage

or increased oxygen and hit point for the suits etc
