No, I got Peng and then my Xbox froze up, and when I ejected the disc the Box died, and when I rebooted it back up it RRoDed on me :(

Ouch.

I would use the save right before the ejection seat part. Man I died so many times on that.

I do think you used your first save too early. I wouldn't want to sit through that part as well.

Ideally you would want a part where you buy the detonator and spend a couple of hours building up a very nice inventory of large med packs and loads of ammunition. Just when you have a couple billion dollars worth of stuff, save it because you wouldn't want to do that more than once.

I don't think I'd have the patience to play a game, even a short one as DS2, in only 3 sittings. That's how long? About 4 hours nonstop every time? I like to sink my teeth into a game, but this is really not my cup of tea.

To each their own. For me I like a quality game even if it is only 12 hours long. I do know some people who grind and kill the same monster over and over for 12 hours a day though. That might be sinking their teeth into it, but it is more like spending 12 hours gnawing on a piece of beef jerky. I would rather spend 30 minutes eating steak.

To tell the truth; nore do I.

However, Visceral actually talks to their playerbase, and uses Fan Feedback in their games. Quite Honestly, that alone makes the game worthy to buy, let alone join the 1000 club in. Which was my goal, and I can eventually beat Hardcore

Only problem is, is that the new Xbox get's here the 18, and Mortal Kombat comes out the 19

does this count as a thread-necro?
ah feth it im going to post this anyways,
i have just beaten DS2 on Hard-Core, with a time of 8and a half hour, and damn it was hard (pun intended) after finishing this, i then went ahead and beat Zealot mode in four fifteen, giving me the full 1000gs points.
(btw, i own the xbox collectors version of the game)
if you need help or advice for hardcore, just ask.

the scarecrow.
