Just beat Dismemberment Mode...
I've got to say, this is by far the most easiest difficulty mode ever! Not challenging at all. Thus, either Hardcore or Contagion mode is highly recommended if you want more challenging!

I haven't tried the new mode myself but I guess it's more of a casual fun "run & gun" way of playing with less focus on "the boring melee" as people like to call it. Keep in mind that you won't be able to earn any achievements in this mode tho since it's much easier compared to the other modes.

dismemberment mode is not supposed to be challenging. it disables achievments because it supposed to be a more casual way to play.

They should add a "duplicator mode" where you get twice the pickups and most encounters (if not all of them, depending on how plausible it is) have twice as many enemies. In any case, the modes should let you choose your difficulty either way, and experiment with the game in a number of much more interesting ways than just increasing/decreasing challenge.

Still, what's the point of releasing dismemberment mode if it doesn't add any replay value at all?

It makes the game actually enjoyable by making the game not just a hold left then right then bonk simulator. As using weapons to blow of body parts then using melee to finish it of is far more satisfying then the default gameplay. I really wish they would rebalance the game to have a harder mode with dismemberment mode but sadly that isn't happening.

That would only cause even more players to jump on the "It's a Dead Space clone" bandwagon.

You have the wrong case. It was never about trucks or EV's, there are thousands of them rotting in fields. The fad never took hold so he pulled the plug - if that makes any sense?

It makes perfect sense, thank you. Just one question: what about the breadcrumbs, though?

Well, You Just Got Breaded, is out of control. The crumbs are just the after effects of something hideous.

And would make for a more enjoyable game. The game is very clearly a dead space clone if 90's fps games where considered doom clones, in this case though it takes enemies that where cur from dead space and just plops it in here with very minimal changes (the head thing with the long neck that grabs you).

My point is it is for me the most enjoyable way to play the game as in the original modes you are incentive to rarely use your weapons. However when you start combining them in and the game doesn't punish you for doing so (both the horde mode and dismemberment mode imo do this) the game suddenly becomes far more enjoyable to play.

I don't really think dismemberment mode is harder per se though, TCP was never a hard game, it only was made more tedious by the higher difficulties. Bonking enemies more times to kill them to me isn't an interesting difficulty, providing the stupidly low resource of the "hardest" mode TCP has to offer likewise doesn't provide for an interesting challenge. It just makes you have to do the very easy dodge, dodge, dodge, bonk pattern more to get through it.

Basically the increased difficulty is akin to padding more then an actually genuine increase in difficulty, requiring higher skilled play from the player. Rather it forces you to do the very same thing you do on lower difficulties, just more.

Well yeah, of course it was easy, it's basically Super Easy Mode... That's why it disables achievements, because it's the easy way to beat the game. You got it wrong if you thought it was a challenge mode.

I can see posters here are off their nut. Rev Bonkers quoting me with a reply that makes zero sense, Gabi claiming TCP is a Dead Space clone. No, I'm sorry to inform you, but MANY here have accurately stated TCP isn't even an apropos spiritual successor to Dead Space.

TCP got a lot of things right regarding Survival Horror. It pits you in up close brutal battles with horrific creatures, it doesn't allow you to safely pummel them from a distance like Rambo on steroids, and it doesn't have a "Great job lad, you won, now go home" ending.

TCP in story, combat, and atmosphere is anything BUT a Dead Space clone, and by the end of the game, you feel truly alone and desolate. It's not a feeling of being OP like in DS.

What the hell are you talking about? I responded to every point you leveled at me. Technology has to catch up to ambition, this is exactly why Resident Evil Outbreak flopped and in similar fashion the plug was pulled on Dead Callisto. You can't force progress, it's either there or it isn't.

Oh, and how many times do I have to say it - I don't like Manga Erotica. If that's your thing then good for you but I'm just not interested.

Make sense now?
