I'd say 6 is pretty spot on, on hard. Will check later

The Interesting Thread

The wife just got in from a solid day's shopping and handed me the Ltd Ed as a Valentine's present!
Totally out of the blue. God, I love her.
Will start it tonight. Special thanks to Brer, who, having found out I'd owned the original for years and not played it, persuaded me to get stuck in. It was great, and I'm super-excited about playing the sequel later.

Saw it in Tesco.

Wife didn't buy it though

Need to give her more lovin', Fishy...

That, or clothes...

yeah probably not as much lovin as was once the case but that's a mutual 40 something thing

Clothes though.. that will be happening on Wednesday so a visit to the game shop may be in order!

So far, this is a riot!

Glad to see you're enjoying it man
I just finished it tonight, great ending, really good story, and by the end I was so tooled up and powerful every second was like the final scene in the original game where you watch the game doing all this amazing darkness stuff you couldn't do in the game!

Overall pros and Cons

Pros:
Story is Great
Action is so much better than the original
Looks gorgeous
Great acting and dialogue

Cons
Not long enough
Story still can't top the original

Solid 8/10, my obsessive love for the characters and story probably bumps it up to a 9 tho.

Nice. I loved the first and the books so look forward to it.

Sealed the deal as a purchase then! I'm trying to play through the original again and while I love the gooseberry fool out of the characters and that I can't really be arsed with the gameplay side of it.

Jackie's VA and hair annoy me for some reason. I like the idea of this being short and sweet rather than drawn out and padded out.

Taking in everything, talking to all NPCs and exploring everywhere i could id say it took 6 hours. So it definitely doesnt outstay its welcome and not a bit of padding in sight. Theres also the vendettas campaign which seems cool, and a NG+ option.

Gave few hints to the missus but with my luck she will most likely buy me call of duty 2

Was she all out of cash after buying your manhood?

Sounds good to me man. Will wait for it to drop in price a little and when I don't have ever game on earth to complete.

Seriously. She pops up and goes WAAAAAH IM DEAD and gooseberry fool so often it has zero impact on you after about the 9000th time. Dead Space 2 has a story and character so mindnumbingly gooseberry fool they couldve been written for an episode of Glee.

You may not like the story or characters. But strawberry floating god, they're average at worst. If you actually took any real interest in the story of the game you'd realise is quite deep. The marker(s) are pretty much the villain(s) of the games thus far. The hallucinations are your interaction with the marker, the game's villain. To give you constant reinforcement of what you're fighting leading up to the climax of the game where you destroy it.

ANYWAYS.

Just finished this game. DAT ENDING

Sad though
Kind of confused as to what exactly happened though. Someone explain it to me?
