Is it any good?
>>250182584
It is, surprisingly.
Shooting off the limbs of alien scum with a plasma cutter never gets old.
yes
2 and 3 are terrible
>>250182584
Yeah, get a flamer for little shits, plasma cutter for regular stuff and pulse rifle against bosses.
Rest is up to you.
yes, and the environment is eerie and spookynever played it, just sat in a couch and watched, played the second and it was alright
Yes, but like most EA franchises, it got run into the ground pretty quick.
The sequels were ho-hum. 2 had some great moments but they turned Issac into a whiny bitch the entire game. 3 was just a stock action game.I shut off 3 in disgust the moment it told me to crouch behind cover
>>250182584
yes. I remember seeing some videos and though 'meh', but when I played I could not stop until the end. Right now I'm playing the 3rd and despite many ppl hate it, I think it's very good
>>250182918
Naw man, 2 is cool.
3 is terrible though.
>Is it any good?
http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki//v/%27s_Recommended_Games_Wiki
Lets fucking see shall we?
Mmm yep its there
>>250183050
2 was linear as hell and removed all the spooky
i felt like i was playing an action game when i played 2
I enjoyed it a lot, the ambiance is perfect. The only flaw I found was that after the third chapter, you knew exactly where the enemy was going to appear. Its a solid 8.5/10
Not OP, always wondered about this game, now i think i will go pick it up.
Thanks /v/!
>>250183282
so is reach, odst, halo wars, resident evil 5, saints row 4
this wiki is surprisingly clean
just spent 15 minutes looking and thats all the shit games i could find in the 360 and pc sections
is this a new wiki?
>>250183282
>He seriously thinks that reddit's recommended games wiki is in any way related to /v/
Stop posting links to this pile of dogshit.
>>250182584
It's Resident Evil 4 in space minus the humor. Has great moments, and amazing ambient effects. Jump scares become predictable.
The controls on PC are shit.
>>250182584
Great game, I'd reccomend using a controller if you're gonna get it on PC tho. Use sweetfx too, to make the game darker and have better lighting.
I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here. I really enjoyed Dead Space 2; it was atleast on par with DS1. Playing them both side-by-side will make you realize how improved and smoother the gameplay is in 2, although the clunkiness of 1 sort of adds to the atmosphere. I also enjoyed DS3, but it's definitely the worst of the series. They expanded the gameplay aspects, such as spaceflight and combat, but at some points it was too much. Weapon crafting, for example, is charming at first, but it becomes pretty defunct later on when you're not sure what combination is the best and just want the old style weapons back. I'd reccomend them, definitely get them on sale.
Gamer's gate is actually having an EA sale where you can get all the games for 5 bucks each (dlc is another 5).
>>250182584
I personally find it overrated, because the atmosphere and combat gets old fast, if you've played 4 chapters you've played the whole game
The story is also very weak
Watch out! There is a spook behind every corner.
It gets old in the first 5 minutes.
>>250183282
reddit pig go home
I like Dead Space 1, I love Dead Space 2, and I was too disgusted to even buy 3.
It's the little improvements in 2 I like, minor graphical touches that have a big effect, and the fact that Isaac actually speaks and has some character is nice.
>>250182584
Do you like RE4? Do you like aliens?
Do you like games that are not particularly scary?
If yes to all, yes, it's a damn good game.
>>250182584
There are people who will shit on it for the jump scares, and there are plenty, but for me, the mood and the environment of that game were so phenomenal that they created more of a sense of fear than the monsters, themselves. It's worth spending some time in the ISS Ishimura.
>>250186762
>>250186890
I will admit that by the second or third playthrough the little background noises and stuff were really wearing on my nerves and making me feel tense and unsettled.
>>250183045
It's alright, but it removed a lot of what was good in the previous two.
Also, microtransactions and cover based shootan.
>>250186313
What did you think was weak about the story? I thought it was pretty straightforward on the narrative end, with appropriate elements successfully vague in order preserve some ambiguity and/or mystique.
>>250187404
Fuck yeah, man. That goddamn sound design made me clench.
>>250187638
I know nobody likes the argument, but you don't have to buy the micro-transactions. I'm almost finished with the game and haven't bought anything. The cover based shooting was surprisingly used sparingly, if anything it was nice to have a change of gameplay.
>>250187762
It was bland and unmemorable copy of various other horror franchises, I'll take AvP and System Shock anyday over this
>>250186714
I liked 2 a lot as well, and I think in order to differentiate itself from the original, it had to change up the formula, but I liked wandering around the gothic tomb of the Ishimura more than Titan. I think many of the individual areas of Titan were more fleshed out and interesting, but they were less of a cohesive, foreboding place than the Ishimura. Also the fact that the attack on Titan was ongoing made it feel more frantic and less isolated and desecrated than the original game's setting.
>>250188081
Yeah, you don't have to buy anything, but the good weapon attachments are locked behind a paywall and a mystery box, if I remember rightly. And tbh, the cover based shooting was spare, because you only fight human enemies about five times during the campaign, and they were so out of whack with what the series is about, it felt like (and feels like) a betrayal,
>>250188097
I loved AvP and AvP2. Dead Space's story beats those hands down, despite being derivative.
>>250188097
All AvP games so far have been fps or shit/not scary at all. Dead Space has plenty of gameplay elements of System Shock, if anything its a better spiritual successor than bioshock.
>>250188474
I remember on my first playthrough, going to the Ishimura made me nervous as fuck, it was what the first two did great, which were atmosphere and sound design.
Deadspace the first was like a little horror in space done right
>walking around a spaceship seperated from your crew
>finding little audio logs from the former crew, raging from mundane conversations up to full blown suicide notes as they feel killing themselves in preferential to what is to come
>crazyman keeps trying to make you understand how great it is to become one with the unimind by sending waves of the monstrosities after you
Then EA smelled the success of the first and like EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SHOOTER THEY HAVE THEY TRIED TO MAKE IT COD
>>250182584
yea, but its only like jump scares
>>250183306
>i felt like i was playing an action game when i played 2
It's because you were.
>>250188649
I think it was the ultra/epic weapon packs. You could buy those with ingame res. or dosh but it was definitely rng bullshit. The worst part of it for me is that DS3 is a singleplayer (coop, but not competitive) game. You can, with a little effort, beat the game with just the in-game stuff. Putting payed ease-of-access dlc into a singleplayer game is nothing more than a cash-grab.
>>250188825
>Returning to the Ishimura
>>250188081
>you dont have to buy the microtransactions
only they make it so you WANT to
they wrecked all of the previous games weapons to encourage you to buy the new ones
>>250183306
>2 was linear as hell
So was 1, there was no proper hub mode, which everyone seems to harp on about when you compare the two. If anything, 3 had the biggest ability to free roam and there were even a few side quest spots.
>removed all the spooky, action game
It was more of an action game than 1 was, because EA smelled success. Still had a few spooky moments though, like going back on the Ishimura.
>>250189595
>>250188825
I loved how Isaac reacted to that shit. The one place he never wants to see again.
>>250183037
>they turned Issac into a whiny bitch the entire game
he was just an engineer you dumbass im surprised he didnt crack in number one, it made him a better character if you want to play some guy who doesnt give a fuck about the situation he is in go play doom or serious sam
dead space 2 was fantastic and those retards at EA just had to ruin it
>>250189813
The wasn't central hub for all the chapters, but all the areas had a sort of minihub to return to. I liked the first one more, but 2 is a better game for a lot of reasons, including pic related.
>>250189595
they could have made the ishimura the only section in Deadspace 2 without necros and it would have been the best horror section of the game
>the audio logs of the janitor
>"Im hearing scratching and growling in the vents but when i check em they stop"
>"im all alone down here for some reason, all the others have left and dont want to work here"
>"something GRABBED ME, when i scrambled to get up it let go and when i looked at the direction it came from there was an open vent where there shouldnt have been"
>"im getting the FUCK OUT OF HERE"
Ironically enough, the series goes down hill with each sequel. It becomes more of an action game in later sequels.
>>250189936
>im surprised he didnt crack in number one
He kinda did.
>>250190131
I refuse to believe that was actually foreshadowing. It must have been coincidental.
>>250190131Is that sphere in the center actually a Brother Moon?
It's OK. It's not really scary at all but the shooting mechanics feel nice and the sound design is good. Though it feels a bit clunky compared to 2, its probably worth the fiver it usually goes on sale for.
>>250190482
It probably wasn't.
Michael Altman (the Church founder) was a scientist who studied the original Marker, and there was presumably an event surrounding it, since it was destroyed (I think this was referenced in one of the games' logs) So, it's possible he witnessed a Convergence, survived it, went mad with Marker dementia, and started the Church.
>>250190482
>>250190570
Guys is this 3-talk?I haven't started it yet
>>250190239
suprise suprise EA's influence on the Dev went up and up as the series went on
i think the only reason 1 was as good was because EA didnt see it as a lucritive thing and just let visceral games just do their thing
>EA CEO : hmm hmm, stock value, marketing budget, hmm hmm
>EA underling: sir, that Deadspace game that Visceral made, people LIKE IT, they are buying it in droves!
>EA CEO: hmmm?! what? really? well get some of our yes men down at Visceral at once! this is a chance to make mad money by making the game more accessable to all ages, cause that always works
>>250190609
Basically 1 is the most atmospheric and spooky. 2 the best game mechanically and gameplay wise. 3 Is just terrible with the only redeeming factor being the weapon mod system.
>>250189936
^5
Isaac turned out to be a cool guy. I'm glad he grew a personality.
>>250190963Yes
>>250182584
Try turning off the music, going into the .ini, setting the brightness down to -2, and play on Impossible with the plasma cutter only, no shop and no bench and you might have a good time. Otherwise, it's far too easy.
>>250186714
The only thing I hated in 2 is when they removed those parasites that would wiggle out body parts if you stomp on them repeatedly
little details like that made the first one unique
>>250182584
I really disliked to retarded camera and the terrible posture of the main character. He's like a fucking hunchback, he take 3 hours to turn around, and that camera is stuck like 2 inches behind his right shoulder so his fucking body cover one third of your screen, it's retarded.
>Inb4 it's for the immersion so you cannot see on your side or behind you
Bitch please, if you wanted me not so see behind me or too far on my side, just give me a first person view.
Otherwise than that it's perfectly decent.

That's not how it happend.
>>250191535
I thought there was something wrong with my settings until I realized dude's in a pretty clunky environment suit.
>>250190916
Altman wasn't the church founder though. They say he was but in reality he thought the Markers were an abomination and tried to destroy them like Isaac.
He was kidnapped and killed by two EarthGov guys who made him out to be a Martyr and started Unitology
>>250191535
the posture and the athleticism of the character i LOVED
you werent playing a FUCKING MARINE/SPARTAN, or in this case it would be a SPACE MARINE
you were playing a guy who was a fucking engineer, a guy who probably isnt in the best of shape, and has to use mainly engineering tools
>>250182584
I enjoyed it alot, the graphics are good too.
Use an xbox 360 controller tho, except at the turret part.
>>250191995
>tfw those space marines got their shit pushed in by a single Necromorph
Engie is bes.
I can recommend the hardcover artbook, the comics and the books if you're interested in the story or just more Dead Space stuff.
They're all nicely drawn/written and expand upon the story without taking it too far.
The thing I like most about Dead Space is how it's not all about saving the world or some shit, the stories are about dudes getting caught in a shitstorm and trying to survive.
>>250192479

Carver has a different animation set compared to Isaac, he stands taller and takes larger, heavier steps. Neat little detail.
>>250192591
>using Kinect
>ever
I could say nothing, push a button, and achieve the end result faster.
>>250182584
Yes it is.
It's probably the closest game to RE4 that will ever be made as well. Play 2 if you enjoy 1 but stay away from 3.
>>250192973
I just love how the unenthused slav mangles the commands.
I want to get a russian bride just so she can interface with kinect as I play with a controller.
>>250192802
they didn't know the threat couldn't be killed by a head shot
>>250191995
Sure. I'm not complaining about the fact you are weaker (it's the point of a survival-horror game, that keep you on your toes), but it's retarded that a fucking futuristic gown is so little adapted to natural movement. Shit son, Buzz Aldrin in his fucking '69 big old ass spacesuit seemed to move with more ease than Isaac.
>>250191961
>He was kidnapped and killed by two EarthGov guys who made him out to be a Martyr and started Unitology
Why the FUCK would EarthGov do that?
>>250182918
2 was great, never played 3 though
>>250194319
To make him a Martyr and to start Unitology, obviously
>>250194319
He was about to blow their cover and expose the marker research.
There was also something about info about the marker leaking outside so EarthGov needed a cover. Can't remember that exactly though, been a long time since I read the book.

>>250182584
i hate how in that game where the enemies would just fucking ambush you all at once, i suggest playing on easy because it's kinda bullshit
>>250195248
>that one regular necromorph
>keeps running away
>wtf? why is he running
>suddenly 4 necros pounce on you
1 is probably in my top 5 games of last gen. 2 is good but removed any tension and became too actiony. Also the final boss from 2 was beyond shit. 2 also had the crappiest bosses in general. One of the bosses is literally you just running past shit then shooting a single explosive near its mouth BOOM you're done.
3 is pretty shitty but not beyond the kind of shitty that you can't play it. The story becomes just terrible. Necromorph moons eating the galaxy out of life bleh.
>>250195248
It's even worse in 3, where that happens every 5 minutes.
>>250195248
>i suggest playing on easy
this is /v/
>>250182584
my fave franchise from last gen.
i love the setting,sound,iore,gameplay..everything.
in my opinion:
ds1:10/10
ds2:9/10
extraction:9/10
ds3: 8/10
ds3 was not what i expected but it´s still a fun game but the story sucks tough.
In the first and second games, there are instances where a necromorph will quickly dash across a lit doorway or at the opposite end of a hall for effect. Does anybody know if it's possible to kill them?
>>250195834
I didn't play DS3, but I agree with everything except Extraction is 136/10.
>>250183050
I rather play 3 than 2
at least 3 knows what it is, 2 was just a crappy, more action-oriented 1 with all its best parts straight-up recycled from the first game. Fuck DS2.
>>250195248
Pretty sure every encounter is predetermined. Nothing is random especially if you play cautiously. Beat the game on impossible and remember it being hard but that was mostly because of the tankish fucking pure forms that were all over the end.
I never got the complaint about 2 being too actiony.
I never ran out of ammo for my plasma cutter and just murdered everything I could in DS1. Stasis slow+Shoot and stop made the game fun and actiony. Sure, 1 was a bit more on the spooky side but by 2 you knew how the necros acted. I love DS1 and think DS2 was still great. Fuck errything about 3 though.
>Deadspace 1
>oh no, that military vessel crashed into the ishimura
>better go inside of it
>oh look, super charged necromorphs with armor and lightning speed
>>250196403
I thought that was pretty inspired design, with how your stasis ability normalized their movements, otherwise they'd fuck you up
>>250195243
>at first I read "Make us Whole Grain"
Sounds like some sort of crazy advertisement collaboration between EA and some bakery for Dead Space 4.
>>250196403
>I wonder if I should upgrade stasis
>nah
>when I am ever gonna NEED stasis
>>250196270
I like to compare Dead Space 1 and 2 to Alien and Aliens.
Although Dead Space 1 has a LOT of action compared to Alien. But I feel that its atmosphere was closer to Alien.
Fuck, if only Dead Space played out like a proper survival-horror instead of an action game with horror elements.
>>250182584
>people ITT denying this wasn't an action game from the beginning of the series
>third fucking person shooter with it's best quality being gameplay
Second game jumps up in quality across the board. The third was just okay.
>>250197131
>Not upgrading what makes the game easymodo.
>>250197210
Thats how I see it.
>>250197131
but i upgraded the flamer and oxygen fully
>>250197254
It's best quality was sound design.
>>250196403
>>250197131
y-you were supposed to stasis them?
I just cut off their legs with the plasma cutter
>>250197131
This, I was playing on the hardest difficulty and got walled at that point. Just straight up stopped playing, I need to man up and tackle that task one of these days, I really did like the game.
>>250197210
And that means that 3 was either Alien 3 or Resurrection, which were shit.I still liked DS3, though
THREADLY REMINDER:
ALWAYS PLACE DEAD SPACE GAMES WITH MUSIC OFF
IT IS A STRAIGHT UPGRADE TO THE GAME'S ATMOSPHERE
>he didn't buy the Humble Origin Bundle
>>250191680
>implying any of these retards read this pretty cool book
>that one part where altman grabs a plasma cutter but it's the size of a fridge or something because the book takes place like 200 years before the game
>that part with the spoon, holy shit
fuck you, EA
>>250197447
But it plays like a non clunky as shit Resident Evil, it is one of the best TPS games out there. Sound design is second.
>>250197462
>I just cut off their legs with the plasma cutter
>that half second of calm as they hit the floor
>that sound they make as they start to crawl toward you
jesus christ
>>250197462
Stasis REALLY HELPS, but they're not impossible. I didn't find out until after I beat the game that I could've saved myself a headache by upgrading stasis.
People say Dead Space is 2 EZ, but if someone isn't told in advance to spend all their power nodes on the cutter and stasis they can easily make some really bad upgrade choices.
>>250197575
fuck you faggot, you can't tell me what to do
>>250196919Bread Space
>>250197573
DS3 is like Resurrection.I kinda liked areas of DS3 as well, but they cocked it up with all the stupid, scripted action sequences
It's RE4 (with better controls, setting and atmosphere) in space. Take that as you will.
>>250198064
>packing around as many weapons as i can
>always fucking no ammo
>next playthrough only use cutter
>ammo up the ass

the atmosphere was mostly pretty good, and the areas were super cool
I love exploring old abandoned bases, forsaken for mysterious and horrifying reasons
the gameplay, gun system, story, all of it was retarded
and fuck you if you enjoyed the gun-making system, it was so fucking broken, universal ammo, AND a two-weapon limit to force you to use that shit
that's some sacrilegious shit right there

To be fair, it was divided when it first came out. THEN after the second one, everyone hopped on the first one's dick, like /v/ usually does, same process with the next iteration.
>>250198256
I loved the general aesthetics of the SCAF facilities and especially the abandoned fleet
>>250198705
There was a core of us who always liked it. Dead Space threads are some of the bro-est threads you'll ever see.
>>250198705
which one? DS3?
if you're talking about DS2, then what happens is the shitposters got tired of trying to shit on others' opinions
DS2 was pretty good, considering EA had a hand in it, and if you disagree then you're a huge faggot
>>250198705
>These people discussing the game from 4 yers ago are surely the same people in this thread right now.
>>250198731
Oh god yes, the gun crafting fucking broke the game.
All that happened was that I made a weapon that was so powerful (for me, shotgun+semi-auto battle rifle) that you don't use anything else for the entire game.
>>250182584
I bought this for $5 in a steam sale last year.
It is, to date, the biggest regret in my life.
Even for $5 it was a bad decision because the titular Dead Space must be in reference to the response area around your reticle.
game=shit
Y'all niggers got any visual design elements stashed away? I fucking loved that shit in both 1 and 2.
>>250198705
>2008 was 6 years ago
Also, if IIRC, everyone still had a bitter taste in their mouth from Bioshock 1.
I recall the second one being received much more warmly with that Anon who did a playthrough while quickly drawing up his experiences.

You missed out on a lot of hilarity and fun experimenting with even better weapons plebeian.
>>250198256
>>250198731
This pretty much.
Anyway, is the DS 3 addon worth the few bucks just to squeeze out a bit more of DS experience ?

There was just no reason to experiment with weapons because you had all the ammo for your current favorite.
Now, if they had separate ammo drops for different modules, THEN it would have been interesting.

>>250200189
The gravity gun has been in since the first installment you humungous retarded faggot. Kill yourself. It was always a ridiculous action game.
>>250183050
why does /v/ like 2 so much? It's half as long, no bosses, an overabundance of EPIC CINEMATIC MOMENTS and mostly just kind of feels like a slimmer repeat of the first. More variety of locations is all its got.
It's like a reimagined System Shock where Event Horizon meets Alien, so yes.
>>250199713
yup, probably spent at least on hour on various forums trying to figure out why it was all fucked up, bad ports wreck games.
the arkham games are examples of ports done right while the best route is like dishonored, where there is a separate team for consoles/pc's all together.
>>250200643

You know, I tried this in Dead Space 3 after getting good results in 1 and 2. There are long stretches where the sound team just did not bother doing any ambient noise because of the orchestral score playing over it. Inside the ships and on planet. Turn down the music and you've got nothing but the sounds made by the player and enemies.
It feels like the plug was pulled on development half or two thirds of the way in to accommodate EA's new franchise-focus policy and yet still expected to ship. There are text logs everywhere which are literally transcripts of conversations which in any other world would have been voiced.
>>250200001I love it too. The motion comic in that link is what got me looking for more of his work.
>have ME3 save file
>play DS3
>get the N7 suit
>oh cool
>put it on at the next suit station
>it's just a reskin of the security suit
Why were the suits in 3 so shit?
The third one is going to be free on PS+ next month, is it screen-split co-op or do you have to play it online like on pc?
>>250200846
Was it longer? It felt shorter, but it was more frenetic as well. The bosses were pretty ass comparatively, though. You have to admit that.
>>250199681
Nah, just watch the ending. It's basically the true ending of DS3 being sold
>>250182584
Yes. But just like Mass Effect and Dragon Age: Origins, EA went and fucked up the later games in the series.
>>250200927
I mean, I believe it
but EA was publishing it from the start
I'm wondering what specifically happened
it's obvious that EA saw the IP was making lods of emone and put their reverse-midas touch to work, but what, specifically
did they drop in a new writer? or just an infernal goon who would beat up the writers when they tried to do something cool? or what?
>>250200643
Richer atmosphere, Isaac has a personality, Isaac's hallucinations have gravity, thereturn to the Ishimurais cooler and better designed than in the first gamethough you do have to play the first for this to workand some of those EPIC CINEMATIC MOMENTS really are that epic.
I would have liked for the drag tentaclesfor real, not just messing aroundto make a return, and for there to have been a boss as cool as the laundry machine monster. But that's all I missed.
>>250201190
>pre-order DS2 because fuck yeah
>notice there's a Unitologist suit like in DS1
>golly_i_bet_its_great.webm
>just a security suit reskin
feels bad, man
>>250201310
Simple - "you must reach more audience".
And that means less features (to make it less complex) and more "oh, wow" moments.
>>250201310
Ea didnt think the first was going tobe worth there time so they let visceral do what they want with it
Visceral took the chance and put ALL their effort into it, pimping it out
EA then sent teams of yesmen/morons to visceral to "diversify the ages that would like Deadspace" after the first
>>250200029
>implying System Shock 2 fags weren't screaming "muh shitty rip off" in most of those threads
Good game overall. Not perfect, but good. Worth playing at least once.
It has a minimalist HUD done very well, weapons are reasonably balanced (>using anything other than the plasma cutter), tension is inconsistent due to how predictable sequences can get and there being many more LOUD SECTIONS WHERE SIRENS ARE BLARING AND GABLEBARBLE COMING FROM THE NECROMORPHS than there should be, but there are unnerving parts. The boot stomp sounds way too impactful for it's own good, it tricks you into thinking that it would be useful in combat.
>>250185307
You have to disable vsync ingame and enable it in your driver settings
>>250201521
At least the suits in two gave you a bonus effect, everything in three was just cosmetic.
>>250201310
No one knows what sort of black arts EA uses to ruin games. We just know that as soon as title they produce makes money or becomes popular, the inevitable sequels are at best worse than the first game (Mass Effect 2) or are at worst are complete shit (Dragon Age 2 and Mass Effect 3).
>>250201654
It's pretty similar.
>>250197575
>turn off the music in most games now
>Killing Floor becomes a horror game
>>250200643
also, it's kind of rare for a zombie-outbreak type game to begin with the outbreak itself, usually you end up in the part where it's already gone to shit
in DS2, you actively get to see it all go to shit around you, which I fucking love in horror games
>initially it's panic and some light resistance
>you see survivors here and there, fleeing, panicking
>some videos and crap from the govt.
>it starts to slow down, survivors are super rare, all resistance is swept aside, and any messages are all automated
>eventually you're all alone
god I fucking loved that
>>250201654
My memory of old Dead Space threads was rosy until you posted that. Jesus Christ. It's all coming back.
>>250201263
It was longer, but I can understand your appreciation for things like the giant butthole from DS1 even if they were easy.
>>250201807
ARE YOU READY TO SNAP INTO DEAD SPACE 3?
>>250201814
its simple
EA wants a COD of their own like activision has
Activision could make the next COD be all about you being a soldier and having to escape out of an orphanage/day care center and having to use all your weapons and lethal force training at your disposal and morons would still buy it
so they take something that is popular and make it into a COD clone, hoping that it will still be popular
>>250201190
I liked the Archaeologist one or whatever it was, had a design reminiscent of The Thing, minus the neat helmet.
>>250201951
Who couldn't appreciate a giant butthole fight? What are you, some kind of faggot?
>>250191535
It is for immersion.
That annoyance at not being able to see much and feeling clunky should've been fear if you were properly immersed
>>250201249
No split-screen.
its not scary
>>250202376
fuck, what's the point then
>>250202170I will never have a slimjim gun for DS3or a macho man suit
>>250202524
>it actually sort of looks like slim jim packaging
>>250202170
>mfw
>>250202214
That fight was tedious.
>>250202661
I wonder if EA knows how much fans of the various IPs they've gobbled up hate them
I bet they laugh about it when sitting on their gold toilets and diamond encrusted caviar funnels
>>250182584
It's alright. Worth playing, it has some things going for it. Don't expect it to be even remotely as good as any survival horror game pre-2006.
>>250202214
That fight was one of the best surprises in videogames. I was not prepared for a giant butthole of organic mass.
>>250202721
That fight wasn't even remotely close to being long enough to be called tedious you mongoloid.
>>250202484
>>250202376
I was pretty pissed about that, too. A friend even brought his 360 over so we could bro-op 3. No luck.
>>250201517
>Isaac has a personality
I preferred 2 but seriously. They gave him a voice to shout "HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT" when a vacuum opened or a huge necromorph jumped down, he had no character
>>250202484
I don't think it would work that well locally tbh.
>>250202915
>>250202989
Didn't the demo have split screen?
>Isaac Clarke
Still a fucking stupid name.
>>250202661
I love this kind of bullshit. The more shameless the better.
>>250182584
dont know, got it free on origin some time ago thou, gonna play it after exams are over
remember me?
>>250203124
Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke?
>>250202905
If by butthole boss, you mean the Leviathan, then it was just "space jump to avoid tentacles" "shoot the yellow bits" and rinse, repeat until dead.
For fuck's sake, you can pop the final boss without even taking a hit, even on the hardest difficulty.
>>250202942
He's tired, depressed, and he's had it up to here with this shit. Can you even blame him?
was there any reason to add the cuckolding plot in 3?
was there even a reason to add romance in Issac's life?
>>250203279
It takes all of two minutes if that.
>>250203271
Combined! How clever!
>>250203258he was cute back then, too
>>250203523
No
>>250203603
And that two minutes is so repetitious, it's tedious as fuck.
>>250186019
Best answer, although I'd have to say I never got past the first 20 minutes of 3 due to not liking the gameplay.
>>250203296
No, but it's hardly a character. Also why did he go from completely silent to fairly talkative it made no sense
>>250203725
It seems like an nice nod to prominent sci-fi writers. Not sure why you're so buttdevastated over it.
>>250203603
>there are people on /v/ right now who not only don't think Isaac Clark isn't the worst character in video games, but that he's actually somehow a well written character
Just, holy fucking shit.
>>250203523
to lure women into playing dead space?
I honestly have no idea what the point was
usually when they do that shit with movies, it's so that dudes will have an easier time convincing their women to tag along to those tiresome action movies and the movie maker earns two tickets instead of one
it feels like EA was going for that, which is laughable and pathetic, all at once
>>250190131
>>250190916
I have no clue what the lore is, someone mind filling me in?
>>250204045
you talk like a fag and your taste is awful
>>250204217
>typical Dead Space fan
It's literally the Call of Duty of "spooky" games.
>>250182918
2 is the same game
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7nWC3fwszw
Armor changing is the coolest thing in this game, especially the way your helmet closes. In the first game, Isaac just put his helmet on.
>>250204183
inside the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was a black marker, an alien artifact, humans find it, shit goes crazy when they study it, they hide it away while also making a church out of it because it makes people crazy
eventually humanity realizes there's a signal coming out of the marker that seems infinite, so they wanna make energy from it, they make an imperfect copy
they take it to some shithole planet to try it out, crazy shit happens again, everything is shut down and mothballed
that crazy church gets wind of it and tracks it down 200 years later or whatever, and dead space 1 happens
>>250204045
We know everything we know to understand and justify Isaac's actions. That's all you need for a main character in a video game.
>>250203992
It's a name that an 8-year-old came up with.
Dead Space 4 starring H.P. Bradbury, Ira Heinlein, and Ridley Spielberg.
Yes its great. I recommend switching vynsc on/off as it can cure a mouse
>>250204404
all the words you're typing are still really faggy and your taste is still shit
>>250203523
Yes.
To make him suffer.
To make it hurt all the more when what little hope clings to this battered shell of a man gets picked away.
To fling him so far into despair that no light can find him.
>>250203874
What didn't make sense was him being silent. The only reason he was silent was because if he talked, the twist would have been ruined.
Does Dead Space 2/3 require Origin to play?
>>250204693
That's well-read 8-year-old. I'm explaining the reasoning behind Isaac's name, and you're responding with "IT BAD"
>>250204749
that's such bullshit
in DS2 he was supposed to purge his demons byslaying that shit in his mind that looked like nicole
while him and Ellie could've been a match, that shit wasn't set in stone, they just teamed up to escape
EA took it to a really stupid place
>>250204693
Don't forget to fix your FOV also, i can't take game's default 75.
>>250204951
Only 3rd does, not that you should play it though
>>250204951
2 doesn't. 3 does. The good news is you're not going to play 3 anyway because it's terrible.
>>250204997
I know the reasoning and yes, it's bad.
>>250204693

my nigga
Why does Dead Space 3 get so much hate? The gameplay is basically the same as the first two plus the ability to roll.
The cover system is only needed when human enemies show up, and once you get past the prologue chapter you can probably count the times that happens on one hand, plus most of the time you can just sit and wait for them to get swarmed by necros anyway.
The co-op isn't forced on you like in RE5/6, and it's actually pretty fun if you have someone to play it with.
Weapon crafting is a great system, and the microtransaction stuff can be bought with ingame currency so there's not even a reason to complain about it.
Honestly, the only thing I dislike about 3 is the universal ammo and how abundant it is.
>>250205284
>>250205494
I had hopes that I could save him, then I remember I was playing Dead Space.
Speaking of Stross, Jesus those Dead Space movies were terrible.
The second one was the worst. That CGI man.
>>250205719
>this name is shitty

Your posts sound like they're written by an eight-year-old.

He was basically a young Ian Holm
All I know is that Dead Space is a movie.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=510491&page=31
This thread on Neofag shows the difference between different FOV settings
Dead Space 3 isn't so bad as long as you try not to consider it a Dead Space title.
Weapon customization was pretty cool for a bit.
>>250205082
>not wanting to kick Isaac down, then kick him when he's down, then steal his wallet
I agree with you, I just like the idea of Isaac's life being an endless sinkhole of misery. While I'm sure someone could have written the romance plot well, it's best that any writing staff employed by EA not even try.
>>250197575
hmmm, that sounds interesting
>>250198628
I hate how they didn't apply this for Dead Space 3.
And as dumb as my idea was, I really wanted the Ishimura to re-appear in Dead Space 3.
Fuck, Imagine if it was the ship Isaac and Carver had to use to get to Earth in the Awakened DLC.
