Opinions on this trilogy?
Dead Space>Dead Space 2>Dead Space 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Microtransactions in a survival horror game
>>341034379
why is it fucking backwards mate
1: great
2: good
3: ok in co op
Dead Space was the only truly good one. Dead Space 2 was all right, but it was a basic re-hashing of the first game with few improvements. Dead Space 3 killed the franchise.
>press E to be a total fucking faggot
Shit trilogy tbqh, famiglio.
>>341034379
Should've been about different instances of encountering the markers by different people.
The first was fantastic, second was good but giving him a voice and letting his vagina ooze the bullshit it did was a mistake.
3 was a mistake altogether.
>>341034379
A good horror story line that went COD to appease the EA cock. It had such potential.
>>341034637
>basic re-hashing of the first game with few improvements
Thats called a "SEQUEL"
>>341034379
>great
>more actiony but still great
>JUST
Dead Space had a hard life, and now EA's probably killed it.
>>341034379
Dead Space 1 is an excellent game. 2 is ok. 3 is an abortion.
DS1 was ok, but it got boring halfway through. 2 was fantastic.
I don't acknowledge 3's existence.
>>341034379
Absolutely loved the first one. Its atmosphere and gameplay was specifically made to frighten the shit out of you, and it did its job well.
The second was great too, but it had lost something from the first. Improved some stuff, ruined some other
Third : fun in coop but all in all just third person action game, not horror at all. Doesn't feel like a dead space.
Dead space 1 was great, felt fresh, great atmosphere. 2 was ok, more of the same with some new gimmicks. 3 was an abortion.
>>341034379
my opinion is that 2 > 1 > 3 but the general opinion seems to be that 1 > 2 > dogshit > 3
>>341034379
love it 3 was the best
>dat space shit in 3.
1 was a great game, 2 was good but something was missing, 3 is better off being forgotten about
>>341035574
Agreed. Never understood the hatewagon.
>>341035783
/v/ being shit they suck up Overwatch but hate good games.
>>341035574
The 10% of Dead Space 3 that wasn't bad was really good like the early space stuff but the other 90% is trash.
>>341034601
this, 3 is playable but it's basically monster killing without any scares.
>>341034379
It's not a trilogy. It ended at 2.
Objective.
>>341034963
You know what feels really goddamn bad? Take your list, and slide the FEAR franchise into the game spot...it looks exactly the same.
>>341034379
Good/worth a playthrough; shit; utter shit
10/10
9/10
0/10
3 wasn't very good but I still enjoyed it. Will I ever get 4?
I remember playing the first Dead Space and legitimately being scared thoroughly for the first couple of chapters. After that, the scare factor wore off until new enemies arrived.
Dead Space 2 had a surprisingly fun multiplayer and I enjoyed Dead Space 3 for its weapon customization.
>>341034601
Agreed. The weapon creation was pretty silly in 3, but that did lead to some amusing weapons. Had a good time co-oping on the highest difficulty with my brother while we blasted necroforms with our over-under-double-revolvers. DS3 is only playable with a friend.
i love it and i love play it over and over again
i finished dead space 3 again like a month ago
yeah dead space trilogy is one of my favorite
>DS1 had a proper ending, couldve ended the series there
>DS2 has a proper ending, couldve ended the series there

Alien 3
>>341035783
Mostly the fact they pretty ditched the horror element entirely and had microtransactions.
Other than that is was a solid TPS.
The first one is one of the most atmospheric titles to release last gen and maybe at all.
There's an anon that frequents the Dead Space threads that likes to say Dead Space 2 was the best cinematic experience in a video game done right, and I 100% agree with him. The entire game is a cinematic adrenaline rush from beginning to end, but it's not heavy handed in its delivery and hardly ever takes control away from the character.
Dead Space 3 was easily the low point in the series, but not entirely a bad game in and of itself. It suffered from obvious EA bullfuckery like microtransactions, story content locked behind online only multiplayer, amongst other more minor things. Spending time in space was a blast, weapon crafting was fun (but completely breaks the game very early on with the right builds), universal ammo was a bit of an annoyance but simultaneously a convenience so I still don't know how I feel about that, I'm a sucker for snow levels so I actually enjoyed the ice planet atmosphere, and it was nice to shoot apart humans for once but I felt there was maybe too much of it, and pretty much all of the characters were pants on head retarded. Never played the DLC but I hear it's GOAT.
Overall a great series, but not without it's flaws.
>>341035574
>>341035783
>>341035868
The series has great gameplay but ti worked much better in the horror setting, taking away al the horror and focusing on combat was retarded and literally no one liked that besides people that weren't into the series for what it really was, a survival horror game. If you can't see that than i'm very sorry for you.
>>341034379
Dead Space 3 was kinda like playing a bad gears of war game but the crazy stuff they did with the secondary character for the coop mode was stellar in my opinion. I wanna see more of that stuff in coop focused games.
>>341037324
>will never play as carver because no friends that likes Dead Space
Playing with randoms is no fun.
>>341034379
All three games are worth playing. The backslash against the third one was stupid as fuck, like the other games weren't third person shooters, you had to spend any money at all to get good weapons, or it would make sense for either the protagonist or the player to pretend it's a horror game after all he's been through.
1 had great atmosphere, but got horribly repetitive as it went along. the same environments, the same objectives, the same monster closets. those godawful turret sequences. there was a few interesting setups here and there and the ending section from a story progression stand point was cool, but id never really call it more than just a "Good" game.
2 lost some of that thick, lonely atmosphere and its last few chapters felt lazy, but i thought it was a much better game overall. substantially better level progression and environments, improved combat with an overall better polish to everything. well structured unique enemy placements (they dont go overboard like 1 did with some of the more intimidating ones), more unique setups and encounters, a surprisingly good continuation of the story that handled issac well with some good mindfuck moments (of which 2 has by far the most memorable sequences and moments in the series) and ellie was a solid female character. good ending overall. thought it was a great sequel in almost every way. as far as horror-tps this was the bets we got since RE4.
3 probably gets shit on more than it deserves, but its still nothing great. nice weapon customization, cool coop implementation, good amount of content overall and the core combat is still fun. unfortunately the rest of it just feels OK. even when they go back to the more space-y horror vibe, none of it feels unique or inspired in anyway outside of the more open areas. its all the same stuff we've seen before. theres a few stand out bits, but nothing great. environments change a few times, but the areas within them feel padded thanks to the optional side missions. the story while probably a natural progression of where it was going to go still feels like shit with a god awful love triangle thrown in and a complete butchering a formally positive female character. the ending was also shit as well. its still a pretty game, but that unique spark was gone and it didnt need to be.
>>341037079
yes, characters were retarded but their dialogues were good writtensometimes
even in awakened dlc oh the irony

1-2 Great horror games, 3 Good action tps with horror elements
>>341038059
so ds3 is
>>341038059
Good, but misguided, unsure of what it whats to be or what it even should be.
>1 is a 9/10 survival horror game
>2 is an 8/10 action horror game
>3 is an 8/10 action game
The whole series is great, the only people who say 3 sucks are the same people who say Dark Soul 2 sucks because it's the only 7/10 in a 9/10 series.
>>341037572
>friends that likes Dead Space
Not even friends that like shooting games? Dead Space 3 is barely a survival horror game, it's so filled with mindless action that anyone who enjoys killing stuff can play it I think.
DS1 and 2 are fun, never been more bored with a game before playing DS3, holy shit it was bad.
>>341038370
More accurately, strangleheld by its publisher and forced into being something it was never meant to be, putting the developers/director in an awkward place, trying to do what they/he can to still turn out a quality production.
Amazing trilogy. Glad they didn't make more.
>>341037783
>backslash
Also holy fuck you're an idiot, please kill yourself. 3 was absolute garbage.
>>341034379
dead space was basically doom three in third person and the first one was the only one that was good ....
>>341036682
They sold the ending as dlc.
>1
Great atmospheric and claustrophobic shooter. A bit repetitive though and the scares become stagnant in the first two hours.
>2
They realized that trying for the scare side would be hard so they went all in on action. Excellent RE4 in space.
>3
>tactical rolling
>universal ammo
>weapon creating which ruined weapon balance and aesthetics
>story went batshit bonkers
Still one of the best trilogies I can think of, every game has something going on for it, even though for 3 its only the co-op.
Maybe its best it died before it turned totally sour. 3 is really not as bad as some pretend, even though it is significantly worse than others.
>>341034379
dead space 3 is not only total garbage....the gore is also toned down a lot...
>>341038852
No they didnt, the DLC was another cliffhanger coming home and theres necromoons around earth and then the screen goes to black when they almost crash into a moon. Thats a cliffhanger right there son.
>>341038846

DS 2 > DS1 >>> DS3
I won't disagree that DS2 lost some of its horror elements (especially the feeling of total isolation), but everything they added definitely made up for it. I think giving a voice to Isaac was a great decision.
I think you're missing a surprisingly good entry there anon.
>>341038819
No. Dead Space 3 is a great game. One of the best action adventure games of the past generation. You are all plebs parroting worthless opinions.
Dead Space 2 >>>>> Dead Space 3 > Dead Space 1
the only problem with 3 is the microtransactions
>>341039834
What microtransactions? I never understood that, I could easily pick the best weapon parts by simply playing the fucking game, something that only a few in this place did, by seeing the undeserved hate.
>>341035186
This. 2 perfected the formula and showed some great development for Isaac being a dude getting more and more fucked up. The scene where he sits by the window while Ellie is in the ship and a hallucination of Nicole talks to him is by far one of the most memorable scenes of that game before the end.
I have DS1 installed but it's way too spoopy for me. How do i learn to overcome the tense feeling i get from playing it?

What kind of drugs are you on?
DS and DS2 are very different. If anything, DS2 and DS3 are way more alike. DS3 was just literally dumbed down for the CoD audience.

>>341038059
Alien3 is ok. Not good. Alien is the better movie.
>>341040307
Play Dead space 2 or 3 instead, they are more action based.
>>341034379
LOVED 1&2 and hated 3
GOAT ending

>>341034379
Liked the first two, didn't play the third.
>>341040647
Alien is best if you're not aware of what "Alien" is (aka lived under a rock or extremely young but can still appreciate old movies).
3 is better if you're aware of what xenomorphs are>>341040734
>>341040307
Play during the day and on a lower volume. Other than that, DS2 is a bit less scary.
I'm sick of this harcuuurrrr gamhuuur shitty opinions. Do you want to speak like a true gamer? A hadcore gamer? You only have to say that you hate Dead Space 3, Assassins Creed 3 was shit but Black Flag is good, and that Mass Effect 3 ruined the series. The rule of 3 to spot the sheep. Those three games were great, came altmost at the same time and created the necessity of being shated on by the young teenagers that wanted to fit in.
The problem with the third game is that closer to episode of Scooby Doo than to the previous games.
>Dead Space = Mass Effect
>Fun, fresh, atmospheric
>Dead space 2 = Mass Effect 2
>More dumbed down to a broader audience focusing more on shooty tooty with a more cinematic experience but still tolerable enough to enjoy it

There, you learned how to play Dead Space.
>>341039834
Shit taste
>>341041220
For some reason the third entry always kinda sucks, it's true for movies as well (Matrix, Alien, The Godfather, Pirates, tec). Maybe it's because people tend to run out of ideas and it's easier to make one sequel - rule of thumb is that it just needs to be bigger than the first entry.
>>341035783
It's be like how Aliens is different from Alien. Action in a horror setting.
I give DS3 mercy because I loved the space parts, and the story vindicates it for meThe co-op was also fun.
I just wish the novels were written better. I love the setting.
>>341039036
That's not a cliffhanger. There's no way humanity can beat all those Brethren Moons, especially when they've started feeding. Humanity is gonna go extinct.

1: Good
2: Great
3: Had it's moments.
In 3, you come across a giant door that was sealed off so the Necros couldn't get through. On it was written stuff like "Forgive us" "You're the real heroes" and shit like that.
Plus the ship graveyard was 12spooky18me
>>341035451
She was the main bad guy in the first DS right?
She knew your grillfriend was dead the whole time but never told you.
So, what's wrong with universal ammo?
>>341042357
He did. He nothing so wrong, the people who actually founded Scientology had to lie about his whole life for it to work.
Dead Space > Dead Space: Extraction > Dead Space pre-release website > Dead Space 2 trailers > Dead Space 2 >> Dead Space 3
>>341042548
It's been a while since I played it but I think Isaac knew it too but blocked it out.
I liked 2 way better than 1. Better encounters, felt less like a less serious Z-movie and more like it was embracing its own silliness.
>>341042357
He clearly didn't , he invented a religion based on feeding brethren moon around the monolith and necromorph but aside from that has was a good boy who dindu nuffin
>>341042383
I actually like 3 better than 2. The "The Thing" setting, the ancient scientific colony, the eldritch horror moon. It hits so many notes for me.
>>341034379
The first game was an okay horror game but heavily relied on jump scares and scripted events, so every subsequent playthrough isn't interesting at all.
The second one largely ditched the horror and was an entertaining action game.
The third one went for co-op shit and it was just bad.
>>341034379
>DS
Outstanding game, probably the last *GREAT* survival horror game out there
>DS2
Great follow up
>DS3
Went to shit when it became Call of Deadspace
>>341042636
Nothing. It was the only way to make weapon customization work. But hey, haters gonna hate.
>>341042636
You don't have to keep track of separate ammo types, reducing the amount of stress in a game that supposed to have you on your toes and manage your inventory to survive.
It also means that you can afford to spend your ammo more willy-nilly, since you know you can always find more ammo for all your guns.
>>341042823
I fell in love with the scientist's journal here. It gave me shudders thinking about the setting.
>I remember telling my college professor I wanted to study xenoarcheology. He laughed right in my face. 'There’s nothing to study,' he said. 'It’s all dead space. No alien life exists out in the universe.' In a way, I guess he was right. There is no life beyond our system, only a trail of extinction, brought by the Moons. And now it’s right on our doorstep.
>>341042712The video he keeps watching has her killing herself at the end of it, they just never show him watching that part.
>>341042916
>>341042925
What the fuck is wrong with you people. I'd propably heard the exact same opinions thousands of times. It's really so hard to play a game before making up some coherent position around something?
>>341035783
Appallingly unnecessary high-school style love triangle story, relentless waves of enemies that abandon any kind of tension in favour of constant killing, the whole ice planet was shit, the 'true ending' was in DLC, not standard in the base game, which still rates as probably one of the biggest middle fingers to players of all time.
I admit the space section in DS3 was fantastic, pity the whole game wasn't like that
>>341036914
huh, this is accurate
>>341042823
Yeah but in 2 you revisit the Ishimura and you see they're trying to clean it up and then you come across the rooms with all the UV lights and the blood and bloody handprints all over the place.
As a whole, I enjoyed the entire series.
Even that shoot gamer they had for the Wii and then included in the Day 1 Edition of 2.
That was bretty good too.
>>341043036
> "It's all Dead Space 3: Awakened DLC"
None of them were good. Even the first one was just a bad clunky third person shooter with a shit camera that relied on (predictable) jump scares. AAA horror has been dead for a long time.
>>341043484
It was telling that the Ishimura was the scariest part of DS2. I think they should've just left the first game alone and come up with a new ip afterwards.
>>341043196
To be honest, the only thing that I hated about DS3 was having to install Origin, and making the true ending DLC.
Seriously, actually cutting the story's end off because you know people will buy it for completion is the biggest Jew thing you could do.
>>341043664
Brethren Moons make it all too worth it in my eyes man.
I think the genre shifting was parralel to Isaac mindset
In the 1rst one he was trapped alone in a ship and he have someone to find hence the survival horror gameplay
In the 2nd he still have regrets about Nicole but want to turn the page hence the action horror gameplay
And finally for the 3rd game he is free from his regrets and demon and he search to eliminate the source and not being the guy who is trapped in a ship full of ayyys
TL;DR : Isaac man up each game so the action gameplay in the third is partially explained
>>341042774He actually tried to destroy the original marker. The heads of Unitology killed him and made him a martyr because he was already being worshipped
>trilogy
But I only see 2 Dead Space games? EA never made the third one and I think that's for the best. It would probably be even more of a shooter than DS2 and with microtransactions.
I honestly think in terms of quality, DS1 and DS2 are interchangeable. Each has something over the other, and which is better depends on the player's preference themselves. DS1 had better atmosphere, and an okay story. DS2 was less scary, but had a more interesting story and a better villain in the form of psycho dead girlfriend.
DS3 was just bad. Inexcusably bad, and it frustrates me to this day.
>>341043508
I know you're just a fag with shit opinions but if you think dead space 1 relied on jumpscares as its only way of terrifying the player than you have zero imagination or were playing the game on easy.
Either way go fuck yourself
>>341043664
DS1 was really the only one that was meant to be actually scary. DS2 was more focused on the story and whatnot.
Never bothered with the third one, but the first two are great.
>Satisfying powerful weapons
>One of the best HUDs ever
>Tense atmosphere
>Story is not overly intrusive
>Isaac is a surprisingly decent protag
Also best weapon coming through.
>>341043932
I wish I could think this way, but the third one did so much damage to me. I can't forget.
>>341043196
What do you take objection with? Because those aren't even saying the same thing.
I played about halfway through DS3 before giving up, it just wasn't fun at all. It was mediocre as a shooter because it was designed around co-op and in SP enemies are very fast while you're still just as slow as you are in the last game, and it's balanced around you having a second player around to cover your back. It's utter shit as a horror game because there's nothing to it now but rooty tooty point and shooty.
>>341043871
Is it canon or it's a spin-off ?
>>341043963
DS2 is the perfect sequel. I really enjoyed the horror elements of DS1, but the next game expanded the idea of a man trapped on a ship to a bigger, greater story while still retaining most of the horror elements.
>>341034379
Overalll decent trilogy. Dead Space 3 was still good. I want a 4th. I will probably reply the first soon
>>341044283
It's a novel called Deadspace:Martyr and I'm pretty sure it's canon
>>341044594
REPLAY YOU FUCKING IDIOT. REPL-A-Y.
>tfw Visceral is now forced to make sports games
>>341044481
DS2 is my favorite as well. DS1 had some annoying moments where you had to retrack your steps, and I really didn't care for Fodder 1 and Fodder 2.
I don't think there was a moment of DS2 I didn't love. Yes, I did love the sun jump scare. That was one of those jumpscares where you jump but then laugh your head off over how stupid you feel.
>>341034379
1. Awesome game. 9+/10 I was very supprised with it. Resident Evil 2 of this generation.
2. Good one. 8/10. It felt more like a movie but it was alright.
3. 5/10... Meh. Big disappoitment. And this whole microtransactions... And paid ending. Just no.

The only reason I want a 4th is just so I could watch humanity's extinction first hand.
>>341044753
y-yes sir
>>341035472
I'm with you.
The story was more.. active? in the 2nd one, like more things happened. I also liked the bigger emphasis on action.
The 2nd one was more balanced between feeling cool and blasting aliens, while the 1st one was more skewed towards the scary aspects. In this sense, for some reason I just liked the balance of dead space 2 more.
Haven't even touched dead space 3 and probably won't after hearing and seeing the shit hitting the fan

So what are some good sci-fi horror games in the vein of The Thing or Dead Space?
Come to think of it, was The Thing game from the last decade any good?
>>341046114
Loved it as a kid and it scared me shitless then - but i was about 10.
Objectively it's a fucking mess of a game, is nothing like the film, bugs out in hilariously bad ways, difficulty is all over the place, story goes off the deep end and there is no real 'thing' consistency.
Probably worth it for a laugh.
>>341045359
I only used the cutter in the first game, in the second i switched it up with the javelin because the jav gun was also satifying

DS1 is judged on it's horror aspects, which is, regardless of anyone's opinion; superior to DS2.

Well of course, dark souls 1 is better than dark souls 2

The first 2 were great not sure what they were trying to do on the third one though.

this is accurate. I wonder if thats what they were going for when they made the games.

I blame EA for what went wrong gameplay wise for DS3. The story makes up for it though, but I had to wait until I could get it used.
And I normally don't buy DLC that is so obviously such a money grab, but I made an exception just that once.
