That helps for sure but the aiming reticule is still very slow. I haven't touch the option menu so maybe I can up the sensitivity.

if you get use to the LB/RB buttons, there's really no need for it. A double tap will have him spin a full 180 degrees in less than a second

I never had aiming issues while playing the game. It was just a straight run-and-gun to the end.

I didn't see my first token (or whatever they are) you shoot during the levels for achievments until I was halfway through the game.

wow.this is a very tough game.
I had to switch to easy mode.
I've played GOW,R6LV,GRAW1,GRAWII,deadrising.
This is by far the hardest game I've ever played.
The bosses have like a billion hps and take forever to take down.

This completely blows my mind. I played on the "Normal" setting and beat the game in a few evenings of play. And though I've played since the 2600, I'm by no means an expert at games.

The game only got tricky toward the end. I ran around the first few levels with 7000-9999 health most of the time.

Draven, do not deny your pro-gamer mad skillz. :D

Oh all right, you've got me there. :)

Seriously, as anyone who has played Halo with me can attest, I am middle-of-the-road at best.

There are 3 different Aiming/Reticle Settings each with a 1-8 speed level.

Accelerate: the further you press the right stick the faster the reticle moves

Fixed: Reticle stays in the center of screen and does not move around

Cruise: aiming speed is constant regardless of how you press the right stick



You have to try the settings and see what works for you. IIRC, I liked "Fixed" with a fastest Speed "8".

Thanks, I will try your setting.

OK, i need to sound off again. The boss fights in this game is ridiculously hard and I am playing it on easy. I'm stuck on the boss of mission 9, the spider thing. I can take out one leg, but once I take out 1 leg, i cannot take out the 2nd because the damn thing moves so fast and because of all the movements, i can't keep track of which leg i've been hitting. Any hints on this bastard?

BTW, what does aiming assist on/off do? I tried both on and off and don't see any difference.

Not only did I beat the game in a few evenings, I got all the 'marker' achievements in each level. Easy game. XBL play is awesome!

I'm doing this from memory, but he has (at least) four legs, right? You only need to take out two of them, and any two will do. So concentrate all of your fire on one and then immediately switch to the next leg you see and do the same. When he flops down, hover up above him and lay down the fire into his body.

I think I ended up going through a couple of V-Suits in that fight. I didn't really worry about the little dudes he spits out and if you get caught in the web you can easily shoot your way out of it.

I still haven't found them all. :( I've replayed levels with new skills I learned in online play and I just get to into it to look for the coins.


I'm glad someone noticed. :D
