Oh damn that PC shot looks ace.

Now I really need to restrain myself, I need my money for other things

 

[hermit7]

I have arrived on Chapter 3. Just have to say looking at some of the necromorphs, and I am in awe of the detail.

Spoiler

The huge thing in chapter 2 looks fantastic, I loved seeing arms and heads strewn about

Lovely attention to detail.

I fucking hate the pack though, even though they are one shotted they are a huge pain in the ass.

 

[JoeBoy101]

I love how the health bar is sort of 'holographic' now. So good.

This and the Interface, like your inventory, has depth. For example, breaking up your inventory and then rotate so your viewing at an extra angle from the side. You'll notice your weapon hotkeys will not be flat on the same plane but come out at an angle, making the interface slightly 3-D.

They are unsettling because of their sounds. Pulse rifle does them good though. I hate these:

I got my copy of the game waiting at home. I can't wait to get back to start it up.

How is it so far?

 

[chris-013]

Insane !

 

[Lucentto]

Fucking piece of shit. Damn game froze in Chapter 13 were I had to go through a horde of enemies without saves, picked up an audio log and it froze the game. Playing on a 60GB PS3.

Stasis + stomping for those damn things

Wait GT actually thinks this game would benefit from co-op?

smh

hngghh, in 1hour and 32minutes I'll know if the game is unlocked the 27th or the 28th.

Man, I don't even notice when I change chapters, I'm too tense to notice, lol.

What's the best way to help a pounced teammate in multiplayer? I keep TKing people by accident trying to get them off.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

I too was a bit wary of the new 'stomp to loot' mechanic, but not anymore because:

-you can stomp repeatedly really quickly
-what happens when you keep doing that

I totally agree. This is so refreshing and truly feels like one long, massive struggle for Isaac. All I can say is I want to read Dead Space Salvage t further expand my knowledge of this crazy and awesome universe. What a game. Some of the environment designs are really awesome. Specifically the likes of the

They said turning the sound off turned the game into a joke also. It was totally a 'oh look at this, it's really funny awkward-friend not really' moment.

My girlfriend said that the review sounded really negative, to which I replied 'it'll get a 9-something'. Lo and behold..

 

[Stallion Free]

In what chapter do I unlock the Security Suit?

Chapter 4 or 5. It's in the chapter before the demo level IIRC. I would remember better IF CHAPTERS HAD SOME NAMES.

 

[Olivero]

Major spoiler. Do not look unless you are beyond Chapter 9.

HOLY FUCK AT SEEING THE ISHIMURA AGAIN

I had just finished Dead Space 1 again last week so everything was fresh in my mind and holy shit it was eerie. I love how you revisited multiple levels all in one seamless trip.

Don't they have names in the database section of the rig menu.

Chapters 14/15 will be absolutely stupid on Hardcore.

Spoiler

What?

:lol

 

[Stallion Free]

Nope, just Chapter 1/2/3/etc.

The opening scene...

My jaw hit the floor.

 

[hermit7]

I just stomp stomp on everything. Turn them all into basket cases so the flying bat things can't turn them.

(Thing I learned from DS1)

 

[Sinatar]

Just beat it, took 9 hours on normal. Great game, really well paced and fun throughout. Disappointed that there were absolutely no cool boss fights at all in the game though, the final baddy was pretty weak sauce.

I'll probably do a new game+ play through soon, though I full upgraded my cutter, rig, stasis and line gun so I'll just be goofing around with the other weapons.

Dude, didn't you know? Every game should be measured against the same standardized checklist of features, and .1 points should be deducted for every bullet point not met. That's just how it works. If you don't like it go find another generation to play in!

The plan is frequently "two to the legs, run up and stomp." But sometimes I go a little overboard and stomp about four or five times until he's almost a puddle. It's a great way to relieve the tension, as creepy as that sounds.

And yeah, Pulse Rifle is good on the Pack, but also pretty good on the Swarmers -- assuming you see them from far enough away.

But a question: is the most recent comic book already out as a trade? Anyone know?

DON'T STOP AT FOUR OR FIVE, KEEP STOMPING. YOU'LL GET A NICE SURPRISE

Thanks! It's cool that the levels are all seamless now but part of me misses the trams, they were always a nice breather. :lol

 

[B-Dex]

So when i played the Dead Space 2 Demo it created a new EA Account for me for some reason without even asking me for a password and when I emailed EA Support to ask them to switch Dead Space and Mass Effect 2 over to my EA Account with all of my other games they say they can't.

So how can they create a new EA Account without me signing up for one? Without asking me for a password? And now they won't help me make sure all of my games are under my main account.

Really not impressed.

 

[GuessWho]

haven't really been following this thread but how's the difficulty this time? Do I have to crank it back to hard again? Or does normal hit the sweet spot?

 

[Flib]

I played through the original on consoles on normal, and got my ass kicked a lot (even though I realize it's not that hard). Playing through the PC version on normal, and I'm just absolutely wrecking shit, and might bump the difficulty up. Could be because I'm much better at shooters with keyboard + mouse.

 

[The Praiseworthy]

wow.... I reached Chapter 3 and just found out that little pretty boxes with 4 dots lights can be smashed for items and ammo -_-"

I'm so pissed off at myself now.... I Platinumed the first DS for god sake how could I didn't notice this earlier?

wasted so many

Not a big deal unless you're playing Zealot

I really hope this is sarcasm because time travel, while recently standardized, is still prohibitively expensive for most consumers.

 

[Spire]

Is it just me or is the Force Gun kinda shitty now? It was my close range bread and butter in DS1, knock-em down and then a shot to the crotch would take off both legs. Now it takes forever to finish something off with it, aside from the knock-down it's almost worthless.

 

[MisterAnderson]

So how is the PC version? Any bullshit I need to be aware of or is the port good?

 

[Max]

I wonder if I set the difficulty to hard core in the settings on new game+ i'll still be able to get the unlock.

The Riot Armor (unlocked by playing the iPhone game) is pretty bad-ass

Heh

The GT review was pretty poor alltogether, but that pissed me off the most.

 

[GrotesqueBeauty]

I really hope this is sarcasm because time travel, while recently standardized, is still prohibitively expensive for most consumers.

Actually, you'd be surprised at how cheap you can get a rig that supports time travel these days if you look for deals on individual parts and just build it yourself. Too bad the linear chronology fanboys are holding back the glorious time traveler master race.

 

[Rhino]

Anyone else having some serious issues with the loading of this game when you die?

If I choose to reload checkpoint or if I die sometimes the game never reloads and I have to manually go back to the xbox guide then reload completely and if it does load I lose a weapon in my bottom slot?

WTF EA?!

I had that problem as I was trying to reload after getting stuck in an area where none of the doors would open.

Oh god i have the conundrum of getting this for either 360 or Ps3. I have DS 1 on 360 and like consistency on my series purchases. But ps3 gots that free game and shit. How is Extraction on the PS3 using a Dual Shock?

 

[Animator]

Shit I should have bought the pc version.

I was just playing around with the Zealot Force Gun and it is a BASTARD. If it doesn't finish them off in one hit, it usually blasts a limb off and you can TK it right back where it came from.

Also, I'm playing this on the third hardest difficulty, the one described as appropriate for Dead Space vets, and YIKES, game is pretty tough. I've died quite a bit. The challenge is appreciated.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Im waiting on the pc simply cause this and DS 1 will be cheap on a Steam Sale within the next 2 years.

I had the exact same dilemma. After playing Extraction with the dual shock I decided to wait and just buy it on psn if I ever do get a move.

 

[Metroidvania]

While this game is amazing overall, I do have one complaint near the endgame.

Spoiler

During chapter 14, an invincible (I think?) enemy shows up. He's accompanied in a series of rooms with at least 3-4 black/powered up necromorphs in each room. This isn't scary, it's just annoying.

Other than that, game is ace thus far.
