Hm, did this part on hard yesterday as well. Granted, it's annoying when you have to start the entire encounter again when the big demons get you, but it's doable. Btw, I'm pretty certain there are at least some ammo boxes at this checkpoint (around the courtyard) and I'm pretty sure they even respawn. Keep running around if needed. The game makes sure you don't run out of ammo I think.
The last demon type goes down with two sticky bombs to the weak spots, even on hard. So all you really need is some boner ammo. Was surprised at how fast they went down yesterday. It is not a good idea to NOT upgrade a weapon in this game. On hard I maxed out the damage of the 3 guns first, then went to health, then some capacity and reload. The damage output of the maxed shotgun is pretty insane and even single shots are really powerful.
btw I'm really starting to think Suda put that broken qte in on purpose :p
I also went for the PS3 version and apart from the usual UE3 engine woes like texture loading, it's fine. Didn't notice any screen tearing, which is a big plus. The only real issue is that the game sometimes stutters on load screens (2D Garcia stops moving) or seldomly from one spot in the world to the next, which makes you think the game's freezing. It never is though. Load times can be long, wondering if it's the same on an installed 360 version.
I did a search but I didn't find a general Ice and Fire thread. Maybe there should be one, seeing as the updates for the HBO show keep rolling in too. I'd figure this forum has its share aSoIaF-fans? I recently finished Clash of Kings and even though it's slower paced compared to Game of Thrones, it has an incredible conclusion and pay-off. The book ends in such a way that you pretty much háve to start A Storm of Swords immediately and that's what I'm doing now.
What I like best about this series is its unpredictability. Anything can happen in this series and if you think or predict according to fantasy tropes, you'd be almost always wrong. Random, unexpected and weird stuff wíll happen. I love how sometimes, characters that have had a small introduction or have been mentioned only through hear say in the chapters, can turn out to be pretty important down the road, like
Such a great series. It's pretty big right now, but I'd still recommend it to anyone wanting to experience a great story. I always describe this to people as 'fantasy for people who don't like fantasy', because it messes with the conventions so much. Good blog if you want to follow development of the hbo show: http://winter-is-coming.net/
