      Chapter 8?

      To borrow from mrprice's review...

      Walker himself will deteriorate from the stress of the situation (more masterful work from Nolan North: as the game goes on, Walker’s speech becomes much more gruff and angry, as compared to the calmness he displays early on), yet you will press on.
      I forgot to mention how much I liked that. You think back to the first scene and they're light hearted,joking around and then their voices get angrier,louder,even when you kill someone it changes to "kill **********ing confirmed!" in an extremely hateful tone. The way it changes from "we're here to rescue people,we're just doing our job" to "**** these guys" through the course of the game is really great.

          Beat it a minute ago.

          Damn good, maybe even incredible, game. One of the best, most engrossing stories I've played in a long, long time. The firefights were incredibly well done and well paced. The narrative stayed strong throughout the fights and the characters were all handled incredibly.

          Money well spent. Looking forward to playing again and making some different choices.

            Yeah, walker is super calm in the opening scene. He's completely lost it by the end. I want to. Heck I think they do it to his face as well.

                I just wish they let the event in chapter 8 breathe a little bit longer. I felt the combat encounter after started about a minute too soon.

                  I died about four or five times in the combat after because I was so pissed at what just happened that I kept just running out one-man-army style shooting everyone until they finally killed me.

                    For me it was the opposite. I was in a daze.

                      Anyone find the flamethrower? It was in the Rooster trailer but I never picked one up in game. Guess they could've taken it out.

                          It's great because it's something that happens in every one of these games, and they show you the aftermath, which you never see.

                              It's short. Took me five or six hours on medium.

                              But I'll play it again on hard so that's like 13 to 14 hours total. Worth it for me.

                                Took me about 5 hours on a combination of all 3 difficulties.

                                MP is pretty fun, you could get a good two weeks out of it.
