The worst is if you quit your game mid-chapter you have to start all over again and collect anything you had before. I basically got STUCK on the chapter 6 boss because it was near impossible to beat without certain weapons. I died on my first try. After that I started with half life and all of the health packs were gone from the vents for some reason. So I quit.. there was nothing I could do to win this fight. Now I have to start the entire chapter over and collect everything, watch all the boring scenes all over again. What was Visceral thinking? Anyone else find this annoying in their play through(s)?

Yep... I'm stuck at the chapter 6 boss atm. I have: Line Gun(slow and absolutely useless in this situation), Force Gun(the same applies) and Flame Thrower which i think can't even reach the tentacles during the first part of the battle. So basically Rivet Gun is all i can damage the fucker with. I get one shot('cause reload speed is epic) and if i miss i get hit. No health pickups, halved life bar, camera's going nuts but MUST.NOT.GIVE IN.

I agree that its stupid how the cutscenes cant be skipped but I dont think its as worse as having to see that opening scene again in hard core, I think i memorised what the exchange after all those deaths >.>"

Unskippable end credits also sucked!

I agree too

I disagree. If you suck at the game then you're not a good player. Very good game, and the difficulty is just right. The cutscenes are unskippable because they help with giving the player a better narrative. Hence, why it is an on-rails shooter.

If you don't like cut scenes or on-rail shooters then go back to COD.

Fully agree with this the checkpoint system suck a lot. I didn't even notice either until the chapter 6 boss because that was the first time i had dead repeatedly. But i did enjoy the story and found it to be pretty easy to five star each mission so i won't really have to waste to much time replaying it.
