I played through Dead Space: Extraction first, it was pretty awesome. I found it extremely easy though, 'cept for the first boss fight, that shit annoyed the hell out of me. I didn’t know about stasis until 1/2 way through the game where I had to use it on the first boss fight, the game became even easier when I could stasis enemies almost constantly because in DS: E stasis recharges over time. There were one or two situations where I had no ammo and had to use the default gun, but with stasis+melee spam and constant shots I pulled through. Yes, you can shoot and melee at the same time. I played through level 1 again, and the game saves your weapon upgrades over replays, so my Impossible playthrough with my weapon upgrades will be a breeze.
I used the Flamethrower, Plasma Cutter and Pistol. I think when I replay the game I’m gonna swap out the Pistol for the Plasma Rifle/Line Gun. I’m gonna replay DS: E after I finish DS2 then tackle the challenge mode/levels.
I got to Chapter 6 yesterday in DS2, then the game froze shortly after. I had the first DS game freeze on me too, though that was over like 3 or 4 playthroughs, both the PS3 version. All I’ve been using is the Plasma Cutter and I’m playing on Zealot difficulty, though I just now bought the Line Gun and now plan to buy the Plasma Rifle. I’m playing it like I did DS1 on harder difficulties; conserve as much ammo as I can while using stasis often so I can take time to aim my shots at the limbs. DS2 is a hell of a lot easier, mainly because I know what to expect 1/2 the time and the fact you can curbstomp corpses and they’ll give you ammo. I don’t remember being able to do that in the first DS, though I remember more ammo lying around the levels in DS1. I’m also loving the fact DS2 is seamless after the initial load and that you enter new chapters/levels without a load time.
I thought…
Since I played through the first game, this one wouldn’t bug me the fuck out as badly. Nope. Nope.
Not even through the first chapter yet. I’ve yelled a handful of times.
I likely won’t be back in here til I finish since Tapatalk doesn’t jive with spoiler tags. That said, great game so far. The graphics really shine, sound, etc.
Anyone playing on zealot? It’s hard.
Got dead space ipad, and already freaked out before even seeing any necromorphs.
Just too much shock brought back from dead space 1, I had real issues after playing that game.
I’m on Chapter 10 now, but believe me when I say that I was about to NOT go. Yes, I was gonna make a character that has to walk a linear path, not actually walk it. You’ll see when you get to that chapter…
Anyone have any Ideas for hardcore mode? Its relentlessly hard, like really really fucking hard… damn I want to beat that shit so bad.
so for hardcore do you have checkpoints or if you die do you respawn at your previous save?
if you respawn only at save points i can see how it would be hard because you are limited to 3 saves the entire game. but if you restart on checkpoints meh.

Just beat it on Normal. LMFAO @ the ending before the credits roll. They almost had me there for a second. Now onto my Zealot playthrough.
From what I’ve been told Hardcore is fucking stupid. You only get three chances to save the game, so you better make those fuckers count.
They’re aren’t any checkpoints at all.
Picked this up yesterday it’s awesome still has the same tense feeling as the first game.
So, does this game really allow you to play through a normal place at first, slowly being corrupted by the necros, as the devs claimed? I’m thinking about hitting up my credit union and buying today.
i see. and the difficulty is increased as well? or the whole thing about it is there are no checkpoints and 3 saves only?
i started on normal, so im going to play through zealot first then do hardcore. by then i should be pretty much maxed out and will do hard core.

Been playing this game nonstop since i picked it up tuesday, MUCH MUCH more creepier and suspenseful than the first one…you’re walking around and your heart is beating all fast knowing something is gonna jump out at any minute (especially in the dark areas and all you have is a flashlight to see) and listening to every sound you hear making sure its not a necromorph (i had to laugh at myself for dropping the controller when the toilet in the bathroom flushed in one of the dark areas after battling a few monsters before hand 
).
I’m on chapter 10, only 5 more to go…
I’m on chapter 3 it was a good and bad choice to play on zelot first:rofl: Even the weak generic necros kill in 2 hits.
Anyone see either DS movie? Downfall was pretty good but I hope Aftermath did something different.
What really sucked, towards the end was when I ran into [spoiler=]the unkillable necromorph[/spoiler]
I swear, I spent so many ripper blades before I wised up…
As I see it.
i just beat it, damn, what a ride. this shit was amazing.
