Oh but there's one good one - in Gothic that annoying bastard who follows you around... Was it Mud or Dusty or whatever his name was? You take him away from the camp and drive you sword through him. Glorious battle!

Well, I rolled all the way back to Polis, shuffled my equipment a bit and now I'm sparing my 600 rounds for assault rifle just for that. I have managed to murder all the librarians using the Hellsing rifle while only losing about 3 arrows. I love that weapon, done half the game with it.

Woa, you should be just fine with that many bullets. The spawn points usually need a bullet or two to be destroyed, and the bubbles only a single one.

That was the most frustrating part of the game, and last time I played it was on Ranger Easy which made it twice as bad. You CAN destroy the spawn pods, but you have to shoot the pods themselves, not the amoebas. This is made more difficult by the fact that your ammo is precious in higher difficulties.
However, this is where your hoarding of militray grade rounds (hope you didn't spend them all!) comes in. Break out your assault rifle, swap out your old ammo for military rounds and light the pods up that are directly in your way. Or use your pistol ammo or secondary weapons that might be more powerful. After that you barely need your ammo.

Well damn! It was yesterday that I started playing this game and I evntually left it at a (human) combat heavy (or I guess you can also go stealth) situation. I hope the game doesn't become a chore, its been pretty good so far.

All right, I have finished the game and ... I don't understand! Basically, I have bombed the Dark Ones, the game ended and I seem to have gotten the bad ending. What? Why? Why is that a bad ending? All the experience I actually have with dark ones is them murdering me with hallucinations in the end, which isn't really balanced by them showing me kids and trees at one point!

You should have read the book before playing the game.
Basically the Dark Ones aren´t bad guys, they just tried to contact you with those visions.
Unfortunately most humans, which they tried to contact, died in the process or lost their sanity.
You can´t blame them for trying to murder you ,when you were just about to destroy their home.
If i recall right there was even a passage where they helped you with those visions.

I thought the amount of Gas Mask Filters on the surface, especially at that nazi hideout, was fucking ludicrous. THERE ARE NO FILTERS ANYWHERE! I had a 30 second filter on and no more would spawn. I actually had to use a glitch where the 30-second choking death timer would reset every time you put the mask back on and take it off again to extend the life of the filters.
And yeah, the part with the suicidal blob chunks were annoying as hell, I had to use up ALL my ammo in all my guns to kill them to get him to the elevator. This was on the hardest hardcore difficulty the game had. Everything was a breeze and I love this game, but goddamn did they have some stupid design decisions.

I rather liked the gunplay, and the stealth options were nice, though they could have been done better. But regarding the gunplay, something about the way the guns sounded and felt, immersed me in a way few FPSs have. No doubt this was helped by the world too.
The part you struggled with rings a bell, but I don't recall having trouble. Maybe that's because I had max ammo at all times for being a stealth whore though. I didn't care for that part, or really any of the monster bits, because it felt like a good chunk of the game was Xen all over again. I think it is one of the better Singleplayer FPSs I've played lately, and it reminded me a lot of Half-Life 1 and 2 and what they were meant to pave the way for, though it was not without poor design decisions.
