I love fighting those giant mega-robot-spider things. Lots of fun taking those down. I'd love to take on 4 or 5 at once. The most I've encountered thus far is 2 at the same time, which was quite epic.

Something Fishy

They are a great boss.

Meh, the weapon stats don't seem to carry over. Would love to have a go at God-Hard mode with my starting weapons all fully levelled up from the start.

Just finished on Hard. Thought the last boss was going to be a right f-ing pain, but after a few deaths I clocked him.
Really looking forward to a normal playthrough now to see how crazy I can play, and to rinse off a few Achievements I missed.
Brilliant game. Absolutely gorgeous in places, too.

God Hard's not worth bothering with, mainly because it turns the game into everything it seems to rebel against on other difficulties.

In other words, it becomes a cover-shooter where you spend most of your time cowering behind walls. Pity.

€28, worth it?

Natch. Worth it for double that.

No, in my opinion. Can't see many people wanting to go back to it after a couple of months.

Got it for like 10 euro yesterday. Whatta game :wub:

I'm stuck on a boss fight. Some weird thing that changes shape and can climb up walls.

How do I win?

I still haven't played this :fp:

I will start this at the weekend. Platinum Games new project has spurned my interest into starting this

Shoot the red core thing.

Use the EMP grenades and when the core is exposed slow down time and blast away.

Well, this has blown my head clean off. Man Act 2 has been such a rush and I'm only the second part of it :mrgreen:

Why does this game end so suddenly? Liked the game but glad I didn't pay full price, would have felt cheated.

The Checkpoint system in this game is shocking.

Why the strawberry float do they steal my upgrades when I choose to continue from checkpoint?

It's a punishment for dying or restarting.

By making it more difficult? What a brilliant piece of design.

The space ship crash on the first level looked amazing. :shock:

Just started playing this yesterday.

It's quite good. I just finished Act 1, which had a pretty poor boss battle at the end of it. Quite a long Act, too.

I'm not sure just what's possible exactly. I get punished when trying to be too flamboyant, and the game doesn't seem to be played as a cover shooter but that's not fun.

Every now and then it just clicks, but more often than not it's a bit of a grind.
