Dead Space 3

[Saibak]

So - I went over to a friend and played the PC version of Dead Space for a few hours. The beginning is terrible. Way too much scripted action events, which felt pretty "meh" to me, but I was amazed by the fights against human enemies - amazed, that, AI-wise, humans can be even more stupid than necromorphs. Maybe the Convergence isn´t that bad after all.
About the cover system... Well, did I ever need a cover system in DS1 or 2?

Later, when I explored some abandoned space ships, the game resembled more DS1, just without its awesome atmosphere. The jumpscares are as 'scary' as the stuff you encounter in Doom 3. It´s pretty much necromorph on the ceiling, necromorph behind you, necromorph behind a door, etc... Or something happens with a very loud sound. That´s cheap.

Ha ha, EA. They´ll probably fix this glitch and put it back in - as DLC ($4.99).

Finished the game yesterday. Can't say I was overly impressed with the ending, but it wasn't so bad.

And it definitely wasn't as bad as how Mass Effect 3 ended at first.

And finished it. In overall Dead Space 3 is an OK game. In the previous games there were some areas, where i proceeded carefully in fear that something could jump at me at any second. This feeling was completely gone in DS3.
Oh and not only did EA kill the atmosphere, it´s also not really neccessary anymore to shoot at the necromorphs´ limbs. Well, it is still neccessary if you use old-school weapons like the Plasma Cutter for example, but pretty early I realized that a shotgun blast to the chest gets the job done extremely quick; or just craft a gatling gun with Stasis coating and send a hail of rivets flying. Anything will get knocked off its feet, slowed down or lose some limbs anyway.

7/10

PS: UK chart: Dead Space 3 top but launch sales down 26% on DS2 • News • Eurogamer.net
I´m curious about the sales in other countries. If it´s similar, then the Dead Space franchise is bust, unless EA sells the rights to someone else.

Spoiler!

We know Awakened is scheduled to appear sometime this month, but not much more outside of that.

Now the team at Visceral have revealed the first image of a new enemy that will appear in the DLC.
New enemy to debut in Dead Space: Awakened | N4G

Someone kill this thing quick!!!

But I can think a very gory death scene for Issac and John ._.;;

Stasis + SHOOT SHOOT LIKE CRAZY + stasis, repeat until dead, else if regenerates, stasis and start running

Even though I am kinda disappointed we have to pay to see the epilogue of Dead Space 3, I am still psych that we'll be able to play Issac and John again.

Enjoy and I think my last Co-op partner was high x.x
