Bought the 360 version last night. Probably won't have time to crack the plastic until Sunday at the earliest, but I had to pick it up. The first Dead Space is on my top 10 of all time, easily.

I HATE EA and their three page manuals.
PROTip - kill the guys that look like Isaac.
It's really not that deep for Multiplayer. Play it. Look at the controls on the back of the instruction guide. You'll figure it out. I believe in you.

They were pretty good in DS1 too - the first couple of them were kind of crappy, but in the second half of the game you were pretty much guaranteed to pick up items worth more than $10,000 when sold, i.e. it was always worth it to open them up because you'd get more than a Power Node back. Sounds like they're even better this time around.JoeBoy101 said:

My experience with these in DS1 was disappointing so I've avoided them in this game. Wish I didn't this time around. As someone said, the first half of DS1 the loot just didn't seem worth it. The next time I see a room though, I'm going in!
Are the power nodes cheaper in DS2?
hmm what's up with the game unlocking :
27th on steam
28th on d2d
I thought the whole unlocking thing was done by EA themselves and their software? Don't tell me there's somekind of exclusivity going on here?
edit : hmm interesting... the game is released the 28th in the uk, which is reflected by the uk steam store aswell, maybe the game will still unlock the 27th for us here in sweden ( where the game is supposed to be released 27th )

I'm in the same boat but I'm still leaning towards the PC version. Hopefully they come to their senses and give PC customers access to the content.

The PC version runs amazing, and looks amazing to boot. Really can't beat it.

Effin bee.com canceled my pre-order today. Wtf. Re-ordered at Amazon.
So, I've recently been very, very attracted to this game, been watching a couple of trailers and reviews and it looks just brilliant. But I never played DS1, and I'd really like to. Is it worth the price it's selling for right now in Steam? Should I be aware of any problem with the PC version? I'm really tempted to just buy it now and play away, but here's me asking you to push me over the edge.
It was on sale just a few days ago on Steam.Fireblend said:
That said, current price is still more than worth it. There's an issue with mouse lag on PC, if you turn on vsync. If you turn it off, then the mouse works fine. I think you can force vsync through other software though.
Fireblend said:
1. Yes, its worth it. Game was reviewed as positively as the sequel is. Now, DS2 is an improvement over DS1 in my mind, but there is a lot of back story in the first one. Especially surrounding Nicole, how the events unfold, and about the Church of Unitology. And its real easy to get lost if you haven't played the first one.
Plus, if you haven't fought necromorphs before, the practice can't hurt.
2. If you need v-sync (which you probably will) force it through Nvidia control panel or ATI's version. The in-game v-sync caps the framerate at 30 fps.
3. Final thing I'll mention is that KB+M is a bit sluggish in DS1. 360 controller is a bit better, but precision is a good thing in these games, considering how you have to kill necromorphs. Don't worry though, as all the controls in DS2 are smooth.
Man, oh man at the part before Ch 9. Issac is a total bad ass.
This was mentioned earlier as a intentional effect I believe but I still wish the audio for some of the characters came in clearer. Especially with a certain character, I can't understand a word she says 90% of the time.

Don't get me wrong. Shooting necromorphs works. Its just taking off limbs with shots works quicker. And the weapons typically used are not bullet-sized. For example, the common plasma cutter actually shoots along a small three line path that you see when aiming. I used a 360 pad when I first played DS1 and it worked fine. I'm just more a KB+M player and unless you remove the in-game vsync, its sluggish as hell.

Man, Isaac's kinda snarky, ain't he? It doesn't pop up too often, but when I see it, it's kinda funny.

Yeah, there are subtitles. That one character who is difficult to hear was made difficult to hear on purpose, apparently.

I beat the game. A starting bonus from a Dead Space 1 save wouldn't have changed shit for my playthrough in terms of tensity.bigdaddygamebot said:

Weird, I'm in Chapter 10 and the Vintage suit just sort of appeared in the store without the need for me to collect the schematics.
Thanks for the confirmation. Singularity was basically ruined by its lack of subtitles. Even if you're not hearing impaired, the sound mix was so terrible that a lot of the story was basically unintelligible because you simply couldn't tell what the NPCs were saying. So glad Viseral didn't leave.them out in DS2!NotTheGuyYouKill said:

If you don't mind 30 fps at times. You need a 500 series Nvidia card to lock proper levels of AA at 60 fps sadly. When the 600 series drops I am going to pick one up and replay both DS1/2 with full AA and it's gonna be so damn good.Corky said:

I am about to strategically dismember my UPS delivery guy. Yesterday I left a note while at work for them to leave my copy of the game from Amazon inside the building, but of course they didn't (they constantly wake me up on days off to open the door for other people's shipments, but when I'm not home they apparently don't bother ringing the other half dozen apartments occupied during the day ). Now I want to go play the game at a friend's place, but I'm stuck waiting here until UPS tries to redeliver, and it's already past their estimated time. Mother fuckers.
Just had to get that off my chest.

Seems like it.
Also, don't spend nodes right away. When you've got a few rounds in your plasma cutter, head back over to the bench and upgrade the capacity to get a free full clip. (I believe.)
Same goes for health I think.
But the best way is to just kinesis the fuck out of everything to save ammo. The babies take 1 plasma cutter shot to down, and (depending on your loadout) typically drop 3 plasma cutter rounds when the corpses are stomped/abused. +2 to plasma cutter ammo is good, but +3 is better. Throw shit at them instead of shooting them.
And you might want to stasis some of them while you smash the corpses of the ones you've downed. I'm playing on PC with everything maxed out, and the corpses don't all stay - they disappear quickly (either time or after a certain number). If it disappears before you smash it, you don't get the ammo.
I got my plasma cutter tricked out with the special fire upgrade in chapter 3.
I tear through shit like nobody's business.
The in-game AA option is just on/off.
I'm running at 1920x1080, I've got a 6970, and I'm using D3DOverrider or whatever to force vsync and triple buffering on.
Looks like I should turn the vsync option OFF in the game (and make sure CCC doesn't turn it on), then force a decent AA mode in CCC? The in-game "on" AA isn't doin it for me.
