Just played through the demo, and I sort of bought the game as a "whatever, i guess I'll play this until something good comes along" sort of thing, and my enthusiasm has increased by about 1000000000000 times its original size. I cannot wait for the full version to come out.

I will have to turn down the volume of my microphone... actually, you may be able to hear me without one.

Playing on the hardest difficulty = amazing game, and the graphics are brilliant, even though I dont have them on max it still looks wonderful. Dark and scary and win.
Lots of great moments from about two hours worth of playing, like chicken hiding in a little room in a subway after the rest of the team were killed by a huge raged tank and watching it just smash the doors in and crush little chicken :lol:

The AI director is a Good Thing™ gives lots of highs and lows with the action levels, really does make the game feel spooky.

It also feels a lot like someone is trying to fuck you over, which is nice.

For no particular reason, I've been rather apathetic about this game. However, having read what you guys have been saying, I shall now probably get it. Is there any SP element, or is it just co-op?

Looks awfully short for 4 campaigns which last 1-2 hours.

Anyway, chance of getting extremely drunk today. LET'S PLAY.

It'll last long enough on impossible, I don't think we managed to finish the subways last night (or we hadn't by the time I'd left)

Yeah, after we *somehow* managed to survive the car alarm (it's inevitable to shoot that fucking car :lol:), we found ourselves a truly impossible challenge.

Me, Stoat and 2 bots managed to get all the way to the final room a good few times. Shame that a witch or tank was inevitably waiting to bum us.

Bots are surprisingly awesome team players.
