    @CoheedFavorHouse: if im correct it should be a zero g area so you should fly to three oxygen structures, and take out all three batteries. that should stop oxygen flow and, in turn, the fire. just plug one battery back in for oxygen and take the other through the area that was formerly on fire, through a door, and place it into a socket to activate the elevator.

    I am currently playing through Extraction before I go on for the second play through and so far Extraction is actually pretty good.

    I'm on my second playthrough. Zealot is super easy, and almost done. Like the first game playing through on impossible you can practically run through it (though I don't 'cause I like the atmosphere). Can't wait to do the Hardcore mode.

    Almost done with my second then it's on to zealot and then hardcore.  And I also only need 4 more trophies, I need to decompress 5 more necromorphs, upgrade 2 more weapons, beat it on zealot and beat it on hardcore.

    I just finished it twice already. one was normal (very first time. you know. try to find out how this game will seem like). then I beat it again last night on zealot level. but last night was crazy as hell. I was out of ammo, had no more med packs left, lower health. that's why I died 6 times in final battle. after government sector, suddenly the game has been changed situation. necros are more aggressive, stronger, double number.... so going to red marker is not easy on zealot level. ubermorph.... I hate this shit again. regenerate.... I can't fuck that shit up. from now on, I need to take a rest. I don't know when I will begin third one. maybe a month later? this game makes me tired. I don't care whether I will go on hardcore or not. zealot seems already enough to be tough.

    Currently on my second playthrough on Hardcore (first playthrough was on Zealot) and am currently at Chapter 7 (my second save).

    Well Hardcore mode has Zealot level drops but the enemies are actually only Survivalist level so it's actually easier in that sense compared to Zealot mode. The limited saves is the only reason why Hardcore mode would be considered "harder" but since there are only a few encounters in the game that you have a good chance of dying on, it's really not that tough, especially once you've completed Zealot.

    Finished my first playthrough on Normal last night. Spent today going back in Save Game files and getting achievements I may have missed. Starting a Veteran playthrough tomorrow or the next day.

    Still on my first, at the end boss right now and I can not beat it since its such an asshole of a bitch of a fight.  God I hate it when games do this. 
     
    Overall though still an amazing game, assuming I ever beat the boss I look forward to playthrough 2.

    @spazmaster666: I thought hardcore mode was tougher than all the others in terms of enemy health and damage. I'll give it a go later, my time is running out with Dead Space 2 unfortunately.

    @Rayfield: It came out on Friday in the UK, that's when I got it. I just can't stop playing it, there isn't a single part in the game I don't find fun. Going through Hardcore at the moment.

    Started a NG+ on Zealot, my 3rd will probably be an attempt at hardcore, I don't think I'll be able to do it though I cant play through 7 chapters in one sitting.

    Zealot is actually harder than Hardcore since the enemies do more damage and have more health, but because Hardcore has no checkpoints, Hardcore can be more frustrating if you end up dying a lot.
