A snippet:

"While F.E.A.R. 2 has its share of creepy hallways and Alma-inspired weirdness, it won't be all dreary. Creative lead Craig Hubbard believes in breaking the tension, so he injects humor wherever he can. One example: Upon snagging a prototype energy weapon, a hacker who calls himself Snakefist -- a reference to Monolith's Name Your F.E.A.R. contest -- uses the way hippopotami mark their territory (spinning their tails in a fan while defecating) as an analogy to describe what the weapon does. And when you're exploring the elementary school and stumble upon the subversive education videos, they exhibit a satirical take on how bleary-eyed optimism and supportive language are often used to mask grim realities, similar to the Fallout series. A nonhumorous tension-breaking moment comes when you hop into the Elite Power Armor; you're essentially invincible and can dish out unlimited rockets and machine-gun ammunition for a decent amount of time. Sure, it feels like a giant "I win!" sequence, but Hubbard says it's an opportunity for players to release tension by excessively punishing the enemies who've been harassing them."

You're not invincible in the power armor. First of all the weapons have cooldowns and secondly if it sustains too much damage you have to bail out and face the fury of the replicas on foot until it stabilizes.

I actually didn't read it that way. There are qualifiers in that statement: "essentially," "decent amount of time," which I understand means it's not a total cake walk.

Something about the way they used invincible and unlimited (it's unlimited but it's not umm k) kind of ticked me off.
