So i thought i'd try Dead Space 2 on hardcore, clearly underestimating how valuable it is to save in games today, as i only last till the train section where i am dangling upside down, after killing a few necromorph's, my weapon then went *click*. Fuck. Yep, i sucked at my first attempt. I was going to attempt with only 2 weapons and keep powering them up throughout the game - however one of the weapons of choice was to be the ripper, not obtainable until chapter 5, i think. 
 
What weapons did any of you guys choose? I figured using 2 would be best, so as to free up as much inventory for health as possible?
