Act 6 update, Jso banked it, it's not nearly as strong as it was. by Creexuls, a monster >:3 03/14/2009, 2:21pm PDT
The stun prod actually was killing enemies in a single hit up until act 5 where it would start taking 2 hits. Until then Jso was running around tearing through whole armies with the stun prod, and blasting the minibosses over and over again with it while I distracted them by blowing out their kneecaps or whatever.

The new inventory system takes a lot of getting used to actually, because really it just limits the weapons you can carry. You used to be able to carry a pistol, magnum, shotgun, sniper rifle, and the TMP all in your big ass briefcase. Then you could cram an RPG in there when everything is sorted properly. Then you could hold your ammo, grenades and healing stuff. Now, you just have the 9 slots, and anything can go into each slot, but you can really only carry 3 or 4 weapons and still be able to carry ammo, and maybe one grenade or one health item. You really only need 3 weapons, plus with your partner it's a little more like 6 or more, and you can just give Sheva the shotgun and SMG.

For almost the whole game (we're on the final act now), Jso has been playing without a handgun, which means all the handgun ammo goes to me. However, handgun ammo is the most common drop in the entire game. SMG ammo drops sort of frequently, but it seems like you get less ammo in this game period, which is alright, in fact I think it's better than just being overloaded. We only had one ammo emergency where I ran out, and that was in a boss fight where you get a flamethrower that hangs on the wall to refuel and shit, it was an awesome fight but we failed the first time, even though it was fuckin awesome as shit both of us running around blasting the boss and trying to figure out exactly what was supposed to do the "real" damage to him.

There are two bosses you fight from emplaced weapons on vehicles, and it's awesome.

The textures and effects in the game are really impressive and incredible, especially in cutscenes.

The only negative thing I'd say is that naturally on your first playthrough you keep getting new weapons, such as another pistol or shotgun or SMG/assault rifle, and you can't be sure if you'll replace it next act or not. You do get tons of money for upgrades, which are much cheaper in this and there's a lot less worry about pouring upgrades into a weapon you'll just sell later. Plus the fact that I'm sure you'll get a plus game or at least replay it, so on your first replay you just have to figure things out yourself for your first and last time. Anyway, Jso replaced the game's first shotgun with a new shotgun, and he was going to put upgrades into it, and I wasn't sure if he would just replace it again in an act or two. I'm still not even sure about that.

Also in a way the characters aren't really as cool. I miss Leon pshing everything and then Salazar being goofy, although I'm still glad that Chris isn't just a retread, he's just more of a straight laced whateverses guy. They sort of have a new Salazar type guy but he barely shows up in the game or cutscenes.
