Shadows of the Damned

hey hey!!!! Duke was still pretty entertaining, and it wasnt as bad ass all the reviews say. and yes shadows of the damned does look pretty cool, gonna rent it tomorrow.

I heard there was a gun in the game called the “big boner” that shoots out bones. I’m glad that the reveiws are positive, I might just buy this game.

I played a couple levels so far and I must say, it's pretty damn awesome. It is one of the most original and strang games I've played in a while. It really reminds me of the grindhouse movies, machete, and hobo with a shotgun (which is amazing!).

Yeah, this game pretty much kicks ass. For anyone looking to get this game, though, unless you're dying to play this or you don't mind paying full price, I'd recommend waiting for a price drop. It really is a frighteningly short game with no replay value. I don't regret paying full price like I did with inFamous 2, but I didn't know it'd be quite this short.

The first thing I did with every playthrough was turn the aiming down by one. It helped a little bit. Then you just get used to it afterwards. The way the camera didn't come to an immediate stop also took some getting used to. Once you upgrade the Boner's damage, it's not like you need to aim anyway. The two things I hated the most about the game were the chase scenes (or at least until I figured out exactly what to do in each one) and 4-1.

Anyway, just Plat'd it last night. Guess it's time to take it back and move on to the next game.

Well lads, you've successfuly sparked my interest in this. What am I looking at length-wise? As in how long long is an average playthrough? And if the difficulty trophies aren't stackable, how many playthroughs are needed? 

And are there any missable trophies I'd need to keep an eye out for?

4-1 is The Big Boner. That section got old before I even finished the chapter the first time. I could've done without that section completely. The 2D sections were ok, but it seemed kinda stupid that the enemies spawned based on the camera and not based on where you actually were.

Anyway, yeah, I did my Normal run (which was my last run) in 6 1/2 hours or something. And I was, by no means, rushing through that. If I hadn't made that pit stop at the infinite spawn, I could've done it under 6 hours. And that's probably including cutscenes. And if you don't count the Prologue and Big Boner/2D sections, which hardly count as a part of the game since they're more like mini-games, it's even less.

Another missable trophy type would be the weapon kills. Since they upgrade automatically, you could miss out on the trophy during a playthrough, but it's perfectly possible to get each one in one playthrough like I did. And you'll wanna get High in Las Vegas on Easy since it's probably impossible on any other difficulty.
