Anyone else like this game? I am probably halfway through chapter 4 on hard and am LOVING it!

Think I like it for the story, as I do most games. If they have a good story, I really enjoy the game.

Cracking game with a great story, characters and some memorable set pieces. Really draws you in and also pretty spooky if played in the right conditions.

5.1 sound, no lights... Pretty creepy on your own yes lol.

I can see what you guys are on about with the repetitiveness, but the story is whats keeping me in, if it had a cack story, I would have put the game down a while ago

So, today is my chance to complete it then I can move onto either Singularity or Transformers WFC, the latter will probably be my choice.

Singularity for the win!! great game

Got stuck on a point with those little things in the sewers (when you fall through the floor after getting the time bubble thing...), they look like the little poppers from the Flood in Halo. Any advice on how to pass them? I'm playing on hard lol.

Getting to Da Choppa!!!! With the sheriff at the moment

Just having a quick break after the fight outside of the church. Larry makes me laugh. It's been a while since I can actually connect with the characters in a game.

Yeah, it made me chuckle when Larry appeared with those fairy lights wrapped around him.

What? lol, not got to that lol. Right, quick cigarette, cup of tea and a choc biscuit then back in

First time I have wasted a week day on a game in a long time.

Oops, sorry. That must be my memory going. I could have sworn he's there when you go to the chopper.

Ah, I am literally just at the end of the fight outside of he church.

Brilliant! Fairy lamps are awsome

Also, walking up to the chopper:

Larry: "Hey, like my headlamp? It's like the flaming eye or Mordor!" lol. Made me chuckle

Well, completed

Nightmarish mode unlocked. That should keep me busy some weekend in the future.

Ending was a little anti climax, but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and looking forward to my next play through

Will have to collect everything on my next playthrough as well.

Question: I am guessing that there is going to be a squeal? I mean, the 2 main chars (trying not to give anything away) have switched realities? If you know what I mean.

One thing I really wish they didn't do is the slow mo motion capture when enemies surfaced. So many times I thought that if that wasn't in the game, I would have cacked my pants 10 times more and would have been MUCH warier about the environment.

Hopefully it will go for the second one

Damn you all to hell... And here was me thinking I would have a quite weekend away from the 360... Now I want to play this! Started it on the hardest setting again a while back, got side tracked...
