The degreaser isn't an up-grade. You sacrifice valuable burn damage for being able to switch faster, which is only more useful in a axtinguisher ambush.SL33TBL1ND said:You know they're all side-grades right? I can only think of one item that's a direct upgrade, and that's the Degreaser, and that's only if you have a specific item
The original Condemned is terrifying at times, especially in two particular levels. One is a department store, and looking for enemies in there can be nerve-wracking. But the other level, a farmhouse, is what I consider to be the scariest level in any game I've ever played. While you're walking around it, you constantly hear footsteps creaking on floorboards above you. I've never saved so many times in a single level before.ThisIsSnake said:With Dead Space it's not just the lacklustre horror that puts me off but the ridiculous camera angle when playing it on PC, my neck actually hurts from itXIGBARx13 said:Dead Space. Now, I don't think it's a bad game by any means, I just find it severely overrated (I played it on my 360 btw). It's just an average survvival "horror" game with third person shooter gameplay. I will say the game's atmosphere was very well done, which I feel is the game's only impressive aspect. The biggest disappointment for me though was its so-called "scariness". The first time a Necromorph jumped out at me from a vent, yes, it made me jump a bit. The thousandth time it happened, I just rolled my eyes and proceeded to dismember it. A survival horror game that relies entirely on cheap jump-scare tactics is just a survival game. It is NOT the world's scariest game, not even close. An overrated game like this overshadows the scariest, and most underrated, game on the Xbox 360, Condemned: Criminal Origins. Comparing the two makes Dead Space look as scary as Viva Pinata..
As a Sony fan I've never played the original Condemned, but the second one was legitimately scary for the first 75%. In the Apartment level when you're seperated from the others searching random rooms, one bathroom has a cabinet with some items in it and once you close it you can see a speedballer in the mirror looking at you. I was so freaked out I legitimately tried to kill the mirror before the speedballer.
OT:
Probably Half-Life 2, it just feels like a humourless version of timesplitters with bland characters.
Yea, I often found myself wishing I had known more specifics of what my own character was going to say. Truth, Doubt, Lie didn't exactly cut it, especially when one of them takes the question in a completely different direction then your character originally intended.ineedscissors said:L.A. Noire.

All that sounds like a lampoon of human nature while trying to rebuild after an apocalypse to meChupathingyX said:Fallout 3.
Fallout should be a lampoon of human nature and their effort to rebuild civilisation after a nuclear apocalypse they caused in the first place.
Not a cave full of kids having underage sex, stupid weapons that shoot eight nukes because "it's awesome", aliens stupid black and white morality, ghouls and robots who don't realise they're immune to radiation,aliens, 2D companions, "teh lootz", transformers and of course ALIENS!.
Beat it. Did all the street crimes, mainly because a few of them were gunfights and I couldn't pass up the chance to actually use my gun.captaincabbage said:Just out of curiosity, how far did you get into the game? Or was it just the combo of the general lack of anything to do in the city and the arbitrary restrictions the game puts on you for the sake of continuity?ineedscissors said:L.A. Noire. It was just too restrictive for me to like it.
OT: Halo I've tried so hard to like these games on so many occasions. I've played through the three first games and I still can't get into them.
