    I wouldn't call this a survival horror game either. It hints at it at times, but it's way too combat focused by the end.

    Survival horror is a dumb genre description anyway.

        Sarcasm?

        I think I'm getting close to the end. Even though there are still serious combat situations I have not felt like I'm playing a shooter. I still feel like I'm in constant survival mode and every bullet counts.

        I will say that finding
         
        the flamethrower was a bit much but damn if that thing doesn't work amazingly against infected.

            I have heard that Hard gets pretty serious with the "every bullet counts" thing, but on normal, I could have gotten into a shoot outs for the last 1/3 of the game and still finished with ammo to spare.

              I still have ammo to spare per se, but I'm constantly running out with one weapon and having to switch mid-fight to something else.

                  Didn't realize you were that far out. Where you're at is probably my favorite part of the game.

                    So I hit Winter and just had a scene that was straight out of
                     
                    Call of Duty zombies mode.

                    Hunting that deer was pretty damn cool.


                    This is one of the most immersive games I can remember playing in recent memory. I just constantly find myself thinking I'm in the characters shoes and being extra careful with everything I do as if I'm really in a fight for survival.

                        I also love the variety in the levels. You go from abandoned warehouses, to sewers, to riding on horseback and then snowy resort cabin areas.

                          Lol, come to think of it, I never used that thing after I found it.

                            Oh man, that thing is so bad ass. I took out a group of about seven infected with that thing. It was glorious.

                              No, the online is amazing, not many other games where you actually have to think before doing something.
