Damn, these difficulty posts have me rethinking whether I want to play on Zealot on my first run or not. :lol

I disagree about Garnett saying that this is marketing the game to children. Most of the mothers in that commercial look old enough such that their children would probably be right in the game's target demographic.
Whether the 18-25 year old male demographic hears "Your mom will hate this" and thinks "Yeah! This game is fucking metal! To Gamestop!" is an entirely different argument.

Are you referring to the "Your Mom hates this" spots?
More like "your Grandma", seriously!

I'm doing a zealot-passive run where I negotiate with the necromorphs into leaving me be.
If that doesn't work...I'll try guilt-trips.

He got the CE because he wanted Dead Space:Extraction and didn't realize every version came with it and he was pissed at the plasma cutter (he will be more pissed when he finds out every PS3 version came with Extraction.). What a waste of $20 especially when he has no job.

Goddamnit, do you not want my money EA? I want to give you my money.
Had I known this before hand, I would have picked this up for my PS3/360, then double dipped on the PC version later when it drops in price.
Oh well, PC version is waiting for me when I get home, can't wait to play tonight!

I played the DS on Xbox but am planning to get the second on PS3 for extraction. Is there any reason not to do this - I haven't read about any significantly different performance issues. Is there any stuff that carries over from your DS1 save into DS2?

This is un-fucking-believable. I am getting sick and fucking tired of getting punished for buying shit day 1 on a platform that gets me 60 fps/1080p.Gribbix said:
So fucking irritating.
Codecow, please beg your superiors to rethink this. Also, throw the PC the costume DLC too. I have money sitting around and I would buy it if it looks badass enough (which it does).

I was quite disappointed by the Dead Space 2 demo, it just didn't feel right to me I was afraid it would be representative of the final game.
To my pleasant surprise, this hasn't been the case at all! I'm currently on chapter 2 and loving this game so much. The atmosphere is as good as ever, and the environments have a crazy amount of detail to them. I am using "classic" aiming with the sensitivity way down, and it feels great. I'm taking the game nice and slow on Zealot difficulty, to really savour the game. Hardcore is gonna be a nightmare, as I've died at least 10 times already (4 in the intro sequence alone, lol). There is some really violent shit in this game. I was pretty shocked by the
So far, this game really delivers!
I can't wait to check out Extraction too, since I missed out on it for the Wii. I also got a code to download Ignition, so I'll probably check that out too, although I found the demo to be horrendous.
Back to the game!

other hospital patient slitting his throat. The spurts and gurgling noises were pretty sick. Also, the dude in the operating room where you get the plasma cutter, got destroyed!

I'm not playing this until it drops to $40 but I want to prepare which difficulty I'll play on. I'm leaning toward survivalist but some previews say that the game in general is more difficult than the first, which I only played on normal. On the PC version, can I temporarily lower the difficulty and not care about getting an achievement for completing the entire game on survivalist? Does it even have achievements? I hope not.

Have fun playing on Zealot without a decent RIG upgrade.
In the meanwhile, I'ma go and play some LBP2
I'm figuring if Zealot is anything like the hardest difficulty in DS1...Increasing health is first and foremost on the upgrade list. Even then...don't get hit, ever.

Wait so normal is too easy? I just started on normal, dont want to play if its too easy.

Not surprised about no DLC on PC as the first one didn't get any either. I didn't realise there was going to be "proper" DLC though. Guess I'll return my PC version when it gets here and get the PS3 version instead. I wanted to play Extraction anyway.

Really great review. Graphics are amazing. It's hard to believe that was taken from the console versions.The Dutch Slayer said:
