Perhaps it will bring into focus the fact that people like Dead Space, but dont like the direction its taking.

Registered 7 years agoDon't give EA credit. They think it's a blip and next generation graphics over the same staid repetitive shit is their ticket to success for pretty much every other series, I doubt they have better ones for this. -

I didn't buy it because I thought the last few levels of Dead Space 2 were shite, and this looked like it was a continuation of that. -

Registered 6 years agoPicked this up today but not really sure what to expect. I absolutely loved DS2, my first experience with the series, but found the original to be a backwards step in more ways than one. -

Registered 6 years agoSo the first hour.. the fights against humans is pretty forgettable but there are positives. I like the attention to detail in the environments. Like DS2 there is a lot of background storytelling going on - the shabbiness of his apartment, the recording on the desk that his rent is late, Danik's recordings and marker posters, etc, all tells it's own story.
Finding the soundtrack a little overly bombastic and intrusive though. The previous games understood that silence (other than some ambient noise) is far more scary. Hope this eases off a bit later..

Unless you have already made your own mind up, 'classic' is the much, much better mode of the two, especially the reward for completing it too!

Registered 4 years agoOn Ch. 5 right now, and have started running into some frustrations, particularly the 'push button for necros' level of game design from the end of DS2 where enemies are pouring out of the walls.
TBH it's a complete pain in the ass playing on veteran difficulty and is keeping me away from the game. Don't want to bust down to Normal mode yet, but this is getting ridiculous. -

Registered 7 years agoI find the idea of universal ammunition incredibly off-putting.
I actually liked managing ammunition and weapons, it gives me something to think about at those shop stopping points where I check through the inventory and plan which weapons to hold back and which to use based on how much ammunition is available etc.
Now what am I going to think about? The tremendously well written story?

Registered 3 years agoThat serves me right for blindly downloading an add-on ...
... I got 800 free points for the NOW TV thingummy and used it for the Awakened DLC.
Yeah, it is quite poor.
- reuses exactly the same areas as the main game with a few environmental assets that is slightly different.
- shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot, walk a little bit ... shoot, shoot shoot, shoot, shoot and on and on.
- follows straight on from the ending of the main game yet it is never explained or shown how you survived the fall (from space) onto the planet with nary a scratch (!)
- only three chapters and each one takes twenty or so minutes to go through; value for money, this certainly isn't!
- the new 'baddie' is just so fucking awful. You meet him three times in the very same place with wave upon wave of enemies chasing after you. It is not fun ... at all.
- upon completing the last sequence, which is, again, recycled, the ending is shown. The other moons have reached Earth.
- *sighs* ... the ending is super-duper poor and makes you feel cheated, especially if there is no more Dead Space.
Please save your points guys.

Registered 3 years ago... I just wanted to let you know that the last boss in Dead Space 2, against your (ex)girlfriend Nicole, plays in almost exactly the same fashion as the baddie in Awakened whom is referred to in the text logs as 'The Voice'.
Nearly everyone agrees that the battle against Nicole for the last time was poor and well, guess what?
They decided to do the battle very similarary for the one in Awakened not once, not twice but THREE TIMES!
It was tedious enough once yet alone on the third blooming time.
Most of all, I have to say that I am hugely narked off with this article on Eurogamer by the way:
"In Dead Space 3 Awakened, gamers will experience some of the most disturbing content they have ever seen in a Dead Space game" says Steve Papoutsis.
Oh, I agree.
I was disturbed greatly ... to find out the hard way that your words were utter horseshit. -

The thing of it is, I was quite happily willing to give the game another chance to win me over after enjoying the first third of the main game and a few bits in between.

After reading the whole 'most disturbing stuff experienced in any Dead Space game, ever!' article, and upon completing Awakened, I have not only been let down after buying all three Dead Space games (Extraction on the Wii too), I am also no longer a fan of the series, which is probably the most disappointing thing I can say.

I think even at 400 points, it would not be worth anyone's time or money.
... it's so sad to see just how far the series has fallen from grace. -

@CharlieStCloud Yeah man, I think it really is a shame. That's what hurts the most, the wasted potential, and the fact that I probably won't touch DS 4 when it (I suppose) some day comes out...
