- Recently I have started a challenge run of Dead Space 2, dubbed "Very Hardcore" mode. This mode includes: Hardcore mode with the basic suit (Engineering suit all the way), and no suit, module (kinesis and stasis) or weapon upgrades, no deaths, and most importantly, no saving (aka. single-segment, one-sitting, continuous run, etc.).

- I have completed a similar challenge for Dead Space (found here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A6E0A032AD2317DE), and for Dead Space 2 I am uping the challenge by not saving at all.

- So far, I have completed Zealot mode with no suit, module, or weapon upgrades, and have begun practicing individual chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 have been run, both individually and continuously. Based on the schedule I've chosen, I am practicing individual chapters for 2 weeks, then attempting full runs on Hardcore.

- Ideally, the full run should be up on YouTube in about 3-4 weeks, and I'll be posting updates during this time period on my YouTube channel. If you're interested in watching the final result or on these updates, my YouTube channel can be found here:

- I will also post a new forum thread with links to the playlist and videos once the run has been done. If you have any questions, I recommend posting a comment on my channel, and I will answer as soon and as best I can.

You are crazy.

Why? That doesn't sound fun.

That sounds retarded...

Just play the game dude. Its a game..not some job. PLAY IT FOR FUN! 

" Just play the game dude. Its a game..not some job. PLAY IT FOR FUN!  "

Why don't you just go play Super Meat Boy or Demon's Souls? 
 
Anyway, good luck to you. Sounds horrible.

That seems awful and great.  Good luck. 

That sounds fucked up. Lookin forward to it.

You sound like a masochist 
Will check out the youtube videos when they go up

Maybe this kind of thing just happens to be fun for him... nothing wrong with that "

Sounds like fun, will for sure check it out when you've finished it ^_^
And to the complainers, don't you think  he's already played trough the game a few times? Thats such a fu***ng retarded comment to tell him to go play the game instead of doing this. 
My money is on this is a way for him to prolong the value of the game.

Yeah, some people like their nuts put in a clamp. "

Jesus Christ, man! it's just goddamn game. enjoy your fucking game. it doesn't matter what level you play. the game is existed because it entertains us, OK? I think that you better get a life. go to somewhere, join some social life. I guess that your job is not even related with making game. I assume that you seem to have plenty of time to kill yourself? are you 18 years old. no job. or retarded? what am I care? but seriously you better get a life. I don't understand why you posted this. you want to show off? that's a bad way to do. nobody cares what you do.   

Wow, a bunch of people shitting on someone for doing something he enjoys. 
Some people like picking apart games even more than playing the games normally.
 
Are we all forgetting that we're posting on an internet forum about fucking VIDEO GAMES? 
Let the guy do what he thinks is fun.  Don't be hypocrites.
 
Anyway...
 This sounds awesome dude!  
Unfortunately I won't be able to watch the videos because I haven't played Dead Space 2 yet and I don't want all the scares spoiled for me.

DUDE, only use the plasma cutter.

What, you're using your hands? That's like a baby's toy.

What the fuck, guys. Let him do his challenge thing, it sounds crazy difficult and I'm looking forward to seeing how he does.

I dont understand the people saying "This is not fun." To someone posting about their escapades into a "very hardcore" run, its the definition of fun for that person. Whether they want views on their clips or they just want the recognition from somebody. The whole point of doing the hardcore mode is to say "I did it."; it may be hard work in a sense, but the end result can still be fun if you obtain your goal and get recognition for it. I'm gonna do it once I finish the game once.

I'm totally into shit like this. 
 
This is going to be so fucking awesome, I can't wait.

I wish I was there to see you pull it off in person. Go for it man, but don't go insane in the process.

Good luck, just watched chapter 1 of your DS1 play through, very nice.

Dude, you are using thumbs, that is cheating, use your feet..
 
Anyways, good luck!

" You are crazy. "

Fucking go for it. 
 
Fuck the haters and negative nancies.

I wish you luck in your endeavours, fellow gamer.

Your videos of the DS1 run are really good, you have amazing control over your shooting.
 
Your run made me start a scratch Zealot run just for fun, I imagine most people will just use new game+ for it. The damage enemies do is insane, but I'm not finding it anywhere near as tense as Hardcore was due to having checkpoints.   
 
Also @SeriouslyNow: Fuckin-A

You are a nutcase sir.  That sounds awesome.
 
Best of luck.

Oh man, that is brutally awesome. Good luck! :D.

Heh, add stomping and melee only for all enemies except bosses and the exploding guys!  Joshing...have fun, sounds crazy hard though :).

Dude... Good luck. I shall watch and learn when you put the videos up.

Speak for yourself bruh. "

You're a masohist.
I like you.

Don't listen to the haters. I think that's awesome. Good luck!

Good luck out there pal, you're gonna need it.

I can see why you would enjoy doing that, and I don't really understand the people criticizing you for doing it.
 
That being said, it would also bore me to death to watch that. Anyway, have fun.

Please leave our forums now. "

Hey, why don't you play it blindfolded while you're at it?

" You are crazy. "

That sounds like the least enjoyable thing one could do. 
 
Have fun with it I guess.
