Hope mine's in when I get back, I shall be crushed if it isn't

antonusklesk · 4 Feb 2010 at 18:03

Well colour me crushed!

Got in to find that the parcel was too big for my letterbox ¬_¬ which leads me to believe I must have the action figure as well.......which I don't want, this evening is the only chance I have to play the game for a while and all would have been fine if what would normally have been a nice surprise was communicated to me first so I could have had it delivered elsewhere

Has been sent out by Boomerang today so I shall be manhandling Dante over the weekend.

Which version comes with the action figure ? I got the Death Edition with playable deadspace dante.

Bevysters · 4 Feb 2010 at 22:28

Its the normal version that comes with it. Deadspace dante sounds awesome though!

might explain why theres 2 items waiting for me at post office

I got it on 360 today with the free mini artwork book (which is nothing special just the sort of stuff you get in the game manual usually).

Gameplay is very similar to God Of War2/Devil May Cry4 & its a nice playable game with some good graphics so if you love hack n slash with OTT gore violence & nudity all mixed together

Yes, just started it myself on PS3 but this first sequence is exactly the same as the demo so nothing new for me yet. Gotta love a game with boobies though!

(And a solid 60fps framerate!)

I don't quite get the difference between punishing and absolving?

I thought punishing gave you 'unholy' points and absolving gave you 'holy' points (the currency you use to upgrade abilities etc)?

Yes, I just noticed.

During the demo, I never even realised there was a "holy path" of upgrades. You are right, sir.

It seems if you keep dieing, it will give you more health. I was very low and had to repeat the same battle five times but then it gave me a bit more juice and I was able to get past the monsters.

Haven't noticed the energy bar increase, and the guy has beaten me about 7 times now (the Grim reaper looking guy). I can get him to about half energy, then he just evades everything I try

Ah, you need to get past this dude first. I decided to go for "normal" difficulty as there seemed to be no trophies to get for playing on anything harder.

I am going to drop down a difficulty and see if it helps. Defeated 12 times on Hard difficulty, and annoyed now

P.S. Don't forget to block! I totally forgot and lost half my health before I knew what was happening, then I remembered (old age setting in here) and started blocking and managed to kill the Grim Reaper most swiftly then.

I was blocking on the harder difficulty, but he was just evading too quickly.

Just dropped 1 difficulty and beat him 1st time (including 4 failed QTE deaths).

I think the difference in difficulty between the normal and hard is quite large.

Im past the demo part now. Playing on normal mode too and its still quite a challenge. Anyone come across any of the Beatrice stones yet. I want to get them first time round if possible.
