    I suppose now is a bad time to mention that I got that achievement.

    I dunno. I liked the fight. Just ram the hunters or use the logs to kill them quickly, then toss the charge and shoot with the pistol. I think the game even helps you aim at them a little.

    So did I! It took me a few reloads though. The gnome thing was worse. That helicopter sequence...

    I never did 100% Portal 2, actually

    @Ravenhpltc24 are you a bad enough dude?

    There's a DBZ Abridged drinking game!

    You know I don't drink! In fact I think it might be your single greatest disappointment in life!

    Clearly you told me this while I was drinking.

    I swear this has come up three or four times :P

    Actually, all developers should make it possible to continue a game on a lower or higher difficulty whenever they want to. That way the excuse should never be "this one fight was too hard for me" or "this game is just boring, it doesn't have any challenges left for a guy like me".

    Of course, that also requires developers to actually make the different difficulty levels mean anything.

    The fact that Gears of War allows you to do this is the only reason I finished it.

    The critical difference for me was that it meant that the enemies that can one-shot you instead only hurt you to the extent that any additional damage would kill you.

    I was part of a crack group of G&T Gears players at the time 3 released, and it was only by being the 4th guy in that group that I ever managed to beat the final boss on Insane. People always rate the first game the hardest, but I dunno man. That bumblebee...

    Beating the final boss of the first game on Insane was a much more fun experience though; I'd convinced my buddy to be the Dom to my Sub Marcus and he was most definitely the rookie guy. It was his first time playing Gears (or indeed a 3rd person shooter) and I'd thrown him in at the extreme deep end. Over the course of the harrowing campaign he evolved into an efficient cover grabbin' motherfucker, and we got to the final boss at 1am and just stalled out completely. I said, more than once, "lets call it quits, try again in the morning" and he insisted we press on. Finally, at 3am, I run out of ammo, shit be blowing up all over the place, and my buddy lets fly his last explosive arrow, nailing the dude in the face and finishing a hard game on the hardest setting.

    We yelled and then quickly hushed up because it was 3 in the goddamned am.

    The final boss was fine, it was the "Defend the front of the house" part at the end of the preceding act.

    It's not that it's difficult, per se, it's that the consequence of making any error (staying out of cover too long, moving from cover to cover at the wrong moment, letting yourself get flanked, etc.) is insta-death. Most of the time it's impossible to even tell what did it.

    Eventually some developer is going to add an achievement for not completing all achievements. People will die.

    I demand mutually exclusive achievements.

    When we did the co-op I was bad at Portal 2, I admit.

    But having since completed the campaigns of both games I am more than formidable.

    Basically we need more dev-troll type achievements. Didn't Lollipop Chainsaw have the upskirt one? That was genius.

    I don't know about 3, but in 1 the two co-op players can play on different difficulties. When I did my insanity playthrough, my partner was playing on the easiest difficulty setting. I still died from time to time, but I think having a meat shield that could absorb anything the enemies threw at him probably helped even the odds just a bit...

    Oh, is that the bit where there's a couple elevators in the back? And a buncha the flying Reaver things join the party? I recall clocking a few deaths there.

    You should still give the first game a go btw! Sure you could get it for pennies at this point! ;D

    Must say, I really like what I've seen of GOG.com so far. System Shock 2 might not stick (I love the aesthetic, gonna have to work at the gameplay) but the whole process of getting, then downloading and having an exe that I just have and can use without logging into anything is refreshing.
