DK (11:03:04 PM): hahahah
caciss (11:03:07 PM): "How can we end this plot line?"
caciss (11:03:14 PM): makes no sense
DK (11:03:16 PM): I mean, it started get
DK (11:03:21 PM): and overall it's good looking and fun to play

DK (11:03:56 PM): hammond's death was pretty lame, too.
caciss (11:03:59 PM): I could figure that game out even with those directions
caciss (11:04:07 PM): it was anti-climactic
caciss (11:04:19 PM): he's gone for like half the game
caciss (11:04:20 PM): by the time he dies
caciss (11:04:24 PM): just like shows up again and dies

caciss (11:05:04 PM): for... what gain?
DK (11:05:05 PM): can there ever be a NICE government?
DK (11:05:18 PM): or ****, a well intentioned sciencey corporation for that matter?
caciss (11:05:21 PM): why are the creatures there?
DK (11:05:31 PM): you probably have to buy the movie to find that out!
caciss (11:05:33 PM): I don't think it was ever exactly explained
caciss (11:05:36 PM): hahah
caciss (11:05:38 PM): and translate
caciss (11:05:41 PM): all that alien dialogue
DK (11:05:50 PM): I mean, **** I really wanted more atmosphere
caciss (11:05:57 PM): maaaan
DK (11:05:57 PM): Red Dragon's a douche but ****, it really was just doom 3.
caciss (11:05:59 PM): I had my hopes up
caciss (11:06:03 PM): after that first fight seriously
caciss (11:06:06 PM): it was intense
caciss (11:06:09 PM): ran out of ammo
caciss (11:06:13 PM): was meleeing it out
DK (11:06:15 PM): more outdoor segments, please
caciss (11:06:25 PM): hallway after hallway
DK (11:06:31 PM): I wanted to be scaling the side of the ship while the glare of a nearby star drowns out my vision
caciss (11:06:40 PM): and thoooose boss fights
caciss (11:06:41 PM): how
caciss (11:06:42 PM): uninspired
DK (11:06:46 PM): the second one was pretty cool
caciss (11:06:49 PM): the gravity one wa sneat
caciss (11:06:51 PM): the slug was boring
caciss (11:06:55 PM): the final boss was boring
DK (11:07:02 PM): the slug...which was that?
caciss (11:07:05 PM): on the ship
caciss (11:07:07 PM): with the turret
DK (11:07:11 PM): oooh
DK (11:07:15 PM): that counted as a boss?
DK (11:07:23 PM): I meant the first boss then }:3
caciss (11:07:24 PM): you get an acheivement for it
caciss (11:07:33 PM): so I figure it is one
DK (11:07:35 PM): that boss had me all into it
caciss (11:07:42 PM): witht he gravity?
DK (11:07:45 PM): I'd give a little "hup!" as I jumped to narrowly avoid his swipes
DK (11:07:55 PM): yeah the gravity room boss
caciss (11:07:56 PM): or the final?
caciss (11:08:00 PM): gravity room boss was cool
caciss (11:08:03 PM): that's it
DK (11:08:05 PM): the final boss was cool but boring to fight
caciss (11:08:17 PM): I saw exactly how it was gonna play out
caciss (11:08:19 PM): from the beginning
DK (11:08:22 PM): and the plot was just "Issac do this, Issac do that"
caciss (11:08:24 PM): I'ma shot these then this will open up
caciss (11:08:24 PM): and then I shoot that
caciss (11:08:31 PM): here's something
caciss (11:08:32 PM): I want
caciss (11:08:34 PM): from games
caciss (11:08:39 PM): why can't I just have one BIG GOAL
DK (11:08:40 PM): at least RE4 and Gears give you personalities and actual plots to work with.
caciss (11:08:42 PM): or two big goals mostly
caciss (11:08:45 PM): that game was always
caciss (11:08:48 PM): "grab this"
caciss (11:08:53 PM): "OH **** SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG
caciss (11:08:55 PM): now you gotta do this
DK (11:09:08 PM): man, and not only that
DK (11:09:12 PM): what's with the ****ty unlockables
DK (11:09:19 PM): if you're going to make us pay top dollar for a short game
DK (11:09:30 PM): at least give us a cool game breaking unlockable to make the next playthrough fun and hokey
DK (11:09:38 PM): we already beat the game you're not going to scare us anymore
DK (11:09:43 PM): RE2 and 3 knew this
DK (11:09:47 PM): so did the parasite eve games
DK (11:09:53 PM): you got to get cool weapons when you beat the game in those
DK (11:10:04 PM): what'd you get in this? a ****ing armor upgrade, that you have to pay for
DK (11:10:30 PM): augh, squandered potential.
caciss (11:10:36 PM): seriously
caciss (11:10:46 PM): I agree with mora actually
caciss (11:10:47 PM): in that
DK (11:10:51 PM): I mean, hell. I know I'm a little biased but even SH5 I wanted to replay as soon as I finished it. That gave you some variety in what you were looking at.
caciss (11:10:51 PM): I'd rather have Silent Hill in space
caciss (11:10:53 PM): than re4 in space
DK (11:11:04 PM): so glad I didn't pay for the game.
caciss (11:11:05 PM): I almost wanna play it again on impossible
caciss (11:11:08 PM): but it's just gonna be the same thing
caciss (11:11:10 PM): with more monsters
DK (11:11:11 PM): man
DK (11:11:16 PM): I was losing my patience
DK (11:11:18 PM): every firefight is just
DK (11:11:29 PM): "OH MAN YOU"RE SHOOTING THOSE GUYS WELL STOP HERE COME SOME FROM THIS SIDE"
DK (11:11:36 PM): "ARE YOU RUNNING NO THOSE BABY THINGS WILL SHOOT AT YOU THEN"
caciss (11:11:48 PM): I would just always
caciss (11:11:49 PM): get in a corner
caciss (11:11:54 PM): and used the razor blade gun
caciss (11:11:59 PM): why did that gun have so much ammo everywhere
DK (11:12:03 PM): those speeded up soldiers creeped me out a few times, though.
caciss (11:12:10 PM): I'd just stasis them
DK (11:12:22 PM): but yeah, after that first boss fight it goes downhill
caciss (11:12:28 PM): yeah pretty much
DK (11:12:31 PM): I mean I had a lot of moments before that boss where I did run out of ammo
DK (11:12:39 PM): especially in that first room with the regenerating guy
DK (11:12:42 PM): I had to retry a ton of times
DK (11:12:52 PM): and even after that if I turned a corner too fast I walked on a gravity panel and got crushed
DK (11:13:03 PM): then they kinda just forget about all that **** after
caciss (11:13:15 PM): no
caciss (11:13:17 PM): I had moments I deid
caciss (11:13:21 PM): mostly because I had no health packs
DK (11:13:24 PM): except when the regenerating guy shows up again, that was kinda tense. When you're stuck in that room with all the pushable beds or whatever
DK (11:13:26 PM): and he's chasingyou
caciss (11:13:34 PM): I just
caciss (11:13:36 PM): sawed off his feet
caciss (11:13:40 PM): and blocked him off with one of the beds
DK (11:13:43 PM): hah
caciss (11:13:44 PM): and it was mostly good from then on
DK (11:13:46 PM): what weapons did you use?
caciss (11:13:50 PM): uh
caciss (11:13:54 PM): the pistol for most of thje game
caciss (11:13:58 PM): until I got the razorblade thing
caciss (11:14:05 PM): and itw as razorblade the rest of the game
caciss (11:14:14 PM): I wanted to use the wide shot thing
caciss (11:14:17 PM): but no ammo like ever
DK (11:14:22 PM): yeah, I had that problem too
DK (11:14:35 PM): I used the pistol, the assualt rifle, the contact beam and the flamethrower
DK (11:14:38 PM): flamethrower ****ing sucks.
caciss (11:14:38 PM): never even tried the plasma rifle and pusher thing
caciss (11:14:47 PM): contact beam was nice to have on back up
caciss (11:14:50 PM): didn't even realyl need to upgrade it
DK (11:14:54 PM): why do flamethrowers always SUCK in video games?
caciss (11:14:55 PM): killed anything I encountered in one shot
caciss (11:14:58 PM): no clue
caciss (11:15:03 PM): it had it's uses
caciss (11:15:04 PM): actually
caciss (11:15:08 PM): for the little ****s mostly
DK (11:15:10 PM): the little bug guys
DK (11:15:14 PM): I used the contact beams alt fire on
DK (11:15:21 PM): worked better
DK (11:15:23 PM): man
DK (11:15:26 PM): what a letdown that game was
DK (11:15:36 PM): the part with the asteriod was neat though
DK (11:15:41 PM): making that jump on time and ****
caciss (11:16:10 PM): never even tried the alt fire
caciss (11:16:13 PM): for contact
caciss (11:16:16 PM): it had it's moments
caciss (11:16:20 PM): but could have beeeeen soooooooo much better
caciss (11:16:22 PM): which is what mostly bugs me
DK (11:16:27 PM): yeah
DK (11:16:32 PM): whelp
DK (11:16:36 PM): glad I just rented it }:3
"At first it just looked like a picture of a bunch of lily pads, but then I started scraping at it with my pocket knife and the whole painting just sort of spoke to me," Schmidt said. "For the first time, I finally understand what Monet was trying to get across in her work."
