Casual, Hard core and Insane done in just over a week, what about everyone else?
Thuggalo420DL
Just beat insane last night.. way too easy. I did it on co-op the whole way through with my friend split screen but he has the Halo mindset. Absolutely refuses to use cover unless he knows I can't get him up. Probobly would have been faster solo. Time to explore versus.

Completed Insane today with my buddy all the way through.

I have to say it was too easy! ohmy.gif biggrin.gif

I beat it on insane my second day of playing it, how long did it take you guys to beat it? But I did play it on coop.
Tripme
Beat insane with my friend the other day....i'll have to say that we successfully mastered the chainsaw rush biggrin.gif

It took me a while, like 5 hours or so split up over a week.
chinchillanet
took me a day to finish on casual
then a further 2 days to do on insane, on my own. raam took me a good hour though cos i had no idea what i was doing lol

now i only play multiplayer and act 4 cos the other levels are a bit boring now

tony hawks is keeping me more amused, as is saints row believe it or not
HamSandwhich
lol Of course it's going to be easy playing it in co-op, fucking hell, play solo you set of girls jester.gif

I finished it last night, as Dom while playing co-op, This time it gave me the "dish best served cold" achievement that it didn't give me the last time I played, and I finished up getting all the COG tags.

180 points in about an hour's time... it was a good achievement day laugh.gif
dedzombie
beat it on insane solo, and co-op, i must say, co-op is almost too easy with another person there lol

insane in the membrain

Completed on Insane **With Honors** (there is no actual honors so don't ask)

Going through now on Insane single player. Half way through act 3 in a few hours biggrin.gif

Did anyone else know that the voice actor for Fenix is Bender from Futurama? laugh.gif pop.gif
Foe-hammer
I'm almost done with act 3 single player (no coop) on insane, and i cannot tell a difference in difficulty between hardcore and insane. Not tough whatsoever so far.

And fenix's voice sounds like eeyore's on winnie the pooh. "yep, doesn't look good", "Wish i hadn't have seen it". pop.gif
jabroniekilla
Insane doesnt seem too difficult, then when you reach the pumping station at the end of act 3, holy hell! the theron guards are rediculous. They take a million bullets to kill and they can shoot you with their torque bow with their eyes closed. I seriously took me like 25 times to make it passed the pumping station. Now I am at the beginning of act 4.
BTW I have only played single player. co-op would make it soooo much easier.
nebur
insane single player up to the point where you use the troikas on the train. beat the rest with a buddy at work.
YUNG ERIC
I'ms 95% complete I would say. I'm up against The boss right now Hes really hard to beat solo(for me). well I'm off.
halld
Went through Insane all the way on single player right up until RAAM!

No way was this happening with just me. After like 8 try's with my best "gamer friend" we finally finished it. I gotta say it would have been a little more satisfying if SOMETHING different happened at the end of Insane to make it worth all th hassle (aside from the GP).

No if I can just keep from getting dropped in MP and loosing all the time I can continue to enjoy the game.
HamSandwhich
Finally completed it on insane and solo the other day, I wasn't expecting RAAM to be so fucking hard! What the fuck was that about! I just kept spraying my machine gun at him when he was stood over me, worked when I was down to my last clip biggrin.gif

i just finished it today solo, i think its way better... only thing that was messed up was my damn partner sometimes would stay hiding through an entire fight..lol.. (on the lvl going up to the mansion, wher the two gunners are at n those theron guards(or what ever they are called).
the easies boss was the Corpser.
cerealkillajme
Yay, just beat it on insane. Overall it wasn't too hard, except for Raam. It took me about 200 tries to beat him, I finally got lucky the time I did beat him. I shot him with about 8 torque bow shots, then 4 grenades when he got to the other end (in front of the barrier), then another 4 torque bows and he went down. That time Dom fought good and kept Raam back towards that barrier. Damn that felt good. biggrin.gif
jimjom
yeah I'm in this club. I love gears and the challenge was much appreciated, but overall, underwhelming. I feel it could be just a bit harder!!


now if i could only get that damned clusterluck achievement!! grr.gif
HamSandwhich
Ahh man I'm with you on that clusterluck, no matter how hard I try, I throw a grenade and they all split! grr.gif
TristanBlade
Finished Insane solo. Took me less time than Hardcore since I knew all the boss strategies (didn't even bother with casual and thank god the game gives you the casual achievement points along with hardcore if you play hardcore straight out, would have been a pain to have to go through it on casual just for the points). Beat RAAM with the longshot and shotgun (love that shotgun) on insane (torque bow and shotgun on hardcore).

You gotta go to one of the scenes where they stream in through a doorway - tag the first with a grenade and block the path. You die too but it doesn't matter for the achievement - and helps if you die so you can start at that checkpoint straight away again - repeat ten times.

Or, you could redo a part where an emergence hole opens up near you - like at Fenix' house when you first go in - toss a grenade into the emergence hole as the grubs are coming out - I think there are about three that come out at the same time.

Wasnt that hard beating it with my friend. Id imagine things would heat up a lot more when playing alone though.

A friend of mine did it using Wretches... tag one when a bunch are rushing ... I haven't done it because I was past that most of the moments when the rush you bad... but once I finish insane (almost through act 4 now) I'll go back and get it...
HamSandwhich
Ahh thanks I'll get trying it when I can be arsed! I also gotta find 3 tags in the entire game jester.gif
Grentz
Casual beat by myself
Hardcore mostly by myself (the some co-op)
Insane via Co-Op (just got annoying CONSTANTLY restarting a whole area when you die)

The hardest part on insane was the end. Seriosly, we did it like 40 times to try and beat RAAM. It was wierd to cause there were a few times when i perfect reloaded everytime with the sniper and felt like i just unloaded like crazy on him, yet he did not die. Then the time that we did defeat him it seemed like we shot him about 1/2 as much.

Another difficult part on insane was the car, we redid that part about 20 times tongue.gif
Geoper
I have a 950 gamerscore in GOW and am at 4200 kills wink.gif .
dsenart
I have beat it on insane, the only non pvp achievements i have left to get are clusterluck and the one where you beat every act with Dom and the rest are all player kill achievements.
sp3cialk
Just beat Insane last night... ran the entire campaign alone except RAAM... had a buddy that was done with insane except for RAAM so we finished it together... and it still took us a good many trys... anyway here's to those who have beat it on insane... it's so makes this game that more satisfying.. beerchug.gif

Took me and my buddy 3 nights! Good stuff! biggrin.gif

Finally did it last night. Beat the whole thing myself, but had to call in a buddy for Raam.

Good stuff biggrin.gif

I just beat it on insane. I beat it previously on hardcore but I must say insane requires a lot more strategy. although there weren't any parts I found unbelievably hard (except for RAAM) I did find a couple of instances where it got really annoying. At any rate this game is the shiznit.

Also just in case any wanted to know, it only took me 6 mins to beat RAAM on insane employing the strategy mentioned in the link below. Before finding the strategy I had wasted about 4 hours trying to beat him. Beware though, when I tried doing what was explained in the article, RAAM didn't stay still so I had to keep hopping around the the block to stay in the clear. But other than that, the strategy worked like a charm.

Beat it last nite on Insane. Played the entire game (except RAAM) on single player over 3 days. I had to get my girlfriend to help with RAAM and still took us several trys. RAAM would get momentarily stuck at different locations on the train and we would just unload on him but I could never MAKE him get stuck. The method in the link above seems to have solved that problem though. I might play back through Act 5 tonite and try to beat it myslef.

Hehe, word.

I've also finished it in co-op mode.
Masterkizz
Did insane with no help - Took me about 3 hours to beat raam - Awesome feeling when you get the cut scene when you hit him with the final bullet.

Boddah
Just finished it up with a friend. biggrin.gif

Casual/Hardcore on solo, Insane with roomate on coop

Finally beat RAAM last night. After 4 hours trying by myself, I completed it splitscreen with my brother. I wish I did it solo, but oh well, it was still satisfying!
revolt13
I beat the whole game on insane a few weeks ago. Pretty basic.
4real*leb
Beat it on all three difficulties, in just under one week.
Marrvia
I thought Insane was too easy. The only time I really had trouble was against RAAM. I think it's about as hard it can be because of the cover system. If they made it any easier to die, it would have just been annoying to play.
