2. Issac mentally unstable
3. Issac is gonna have personality and have some dialogue
4. You won't be errand boy and can send NPC to do menial tasks
5. Balanced pacing instead of constant pressure of fear

7. Actual control in zero gravity movement instead of just jumping from point to point
8. Plasma Cutter won't be nerfed, other guns will be more awesome
9. Online is totally gonna be included
10. Horde mode and possible L4D versus mode?

So I finally beat the game today first play through on Zealot. Overall it was definitely a GG. I thought the single player was lacking something in it's exposition. A certain je ne sais quoi if you will. Since DS2 really has great pacing, and the environment is really huge with some great new weapon additions and new enemies. It seems to do a lot of things right but Something about the story just feels weak to me.

Multiplayer seems all right. Seems kinda like a cluster fuck when all the action is going on and maybe like a good distraction for the weekend but doesn't seem too impressive. I only played like one game though so my experience is very limited.

So what did the rest of you dodes think about the game?
