Dead Space 2 |OT| The Marker Is Not A Sharpie

- Start date
So, is Unitology really a commentary on Scientology? Let's ask Wright Bagwell, the creative director on DS2:
Oh, my kingdom for a smiley.

About to start DS2, but I just noticed 3 DLC packs on the Marketplace. Are those weapons and armor atainable by playing through the game? With EA I never know.

Yep, it comes across that to me and I don't have a problem with it. I don't like Scientology anyway.luxarific said:
Can anyone tell me when I'll become aware if my Ignition unlocks happened? I had a save file about an hour in, the grabbed ignition and played far enough to have a save file. Reloaded my save and nothing is popping up, tried starting a new game and didn't see anything either. Am I doing something wrong? Is there no pop-up and it just happens?

Wait-on Hard Core can you carry over your upgraded weapons from the New Game+?
Does EA really need to cover its ass about Unitology? Considering the size of the business you'd think they'd dodge any lawsuits from Clearwater. Plus a corporation who have committed so many crimes deserve a public knocking in response to the question, Redwood would get so much kudos from me at least.luxarific said:
The doctrine in the church is almost word-to-word high level Scientology. If they ever have complete protection from the government, infiltrators throughout society and country level wealth things just might be like in Dead Space. :/
Sorry, I get passionate on things like this.

There are no pop-ups (except when you first launch the game), they are just unlocked rooms with goodies and audio logs. There is one in the first chapter.Petrie said:
You might need to delete the DS2 save/prefs for it to look for the ignition save (not sure about this).
It doesn't seem impossible to finish up the story in DS3 but it's going to take some good imagination for those explanations.Captain_Spanky said:
One way would be to use the
black marker as a satellite to connect to all the other man made markers to create some kind of ultra field to quell the virus universe wide (or at least the areas effected). I don't get why Isaac was so intent on destroying the markers though. Surely once the outbreak has begun the markers are the only chance of survival.
Do you think it's worth starting a Dead Space story thread?

Nope. That's why I mentioned how I'm going to focus on upgrading the Plasma Cutter and RIG first for Hardcore.MDavis360 said:

Definitely. There's a lot of story out there, especially from the movies which most people probably won't have seen.
The wikia is also pretty informative...

Hell yeah. Of course EA will not admit it considering how batshit-insane Scientology followers are. But some of the reference notes/tapes Isaac finds throughout the game really do remind me of how Scientology brainwash its followers, etc.

When you first redeem the other goodies (if you get the Collector's Edition version) through the shop, one of the flashing messages was that "You got hacker suit. Make sure you check the doors" or something to that effect.

I bought Ignition halfway through my 2nd playthrough. When I booted up the main game again it told me that I'd unlocked the Ignition content. I carried on my save as normal, Conduit doors now unlocked (well I've only encountered one so far). Didn't need to start again, delete any saves, or any of that stuff.
Edit: There's still some locked doors here and there, anybody know what those are about? Watching the GiantBomb Extraction QL Brad Shoemaker said something about DLC for DS2 that I hadn't heard about (
which implies that it would be single player).

Please do so, the storyline and the universe of Dead Space is extremely fascinating - I'd love for any of the developers to chime in as well - providing that they are within their limits of discussion.
I played Dead Space on PC, eagerly awaiting to pick up Dead Space 2 on PC when money allows, but I've read much of the storyline on the DS Wiki - the games, comics, and books. If they are all canon and working with each other, then wow.

That was my favorite thing about the book. I actually felt for the guy at the end. On another note, I watched Aftermath and whoever green-lit the main animation they use for the story should be fired. The in-between stuff, I guess the stories that matter, all have some pretty decent animation going on but that CG shit is horrible.
Fun movie though, liked it better than Downfall.

Man my Dead Space 2 is weird.

Just finished chapter 4 last night. Looking forward to number 5, I hear good things.
Loving the game so far, though I find I die more often than I expect to. Totally cool with it- it's just surprising me. I'm playing on Normal, and I beat the first Dead Space a couple of times, once on hard.
Having a hell of a time though.
And I'll say it again- try turning off the music in the game. You may find it more immersive.

I think it's really solid.
Playing it with people on my friends list, with all of us communicating with one another really increases the opportunity to dominate the other team.
What what what? Communicating with your teammates helps in multiplayer? This might sound like crazy talk but I find that Dead Space 2 multiplayer might be the most rewarding multiplayer game out there at the moment when it comes to actually working as a team.
It's not quite as chaotic as Left 4 Dead, which I appreciate.

Finished it yesterday with (900/1000). It's a great game and a lot of things come down to personal preferences. To me, the first game was in almost every way superior. I hated Isaac's character in this, I would have preferred they kept him mute. The linearity of the game does work, but again, I prefer the structure of the first game. Also, while Dead Space was never subtle, every hint of it goes out the window with DS2, they just keep throwing monsters at you, hoping to get a scare (they never did). The one thing they improved massively is the Zero G parts, they were okay in the first game but are really something else in this. In the end I really like the game, but for me personally it has changed for the worse, not in a big way, but in several smaller ways.

ARRGH!
I am SO fucking jealous.
I would mail them my copy of the game just to have them sign it...but then I couldn't play it and obsess over getting 1000/1000.

Did they jack that from a GAF poster, or vice versa?

You're one of them "problem-solvin' types"...
You probably read books too, don't you?
I don't know why I didn't think of this.

This game is dragging on a bit too long for a horror game. Still awesome though.

Somewhere there's an official Dead Space document that actually has one instance of the word "Scientology" where it's supposed to say Unitology. Wish to god I could remember where I saw it... I'm pretty sure it's in Dead Space 1 proper. If not, the only other sources I could have seen it in were the original comic from 2008 or the strat guide.

ok people help me out here.
loved the start and it has great atmosphere and is polished like few others, BUT i'm really struggling to find a reason to keep going. the story is interesting enough i guess, but the the gameplay is getting really repetitive.
all it seems to be is going from A-B and shooting thing that either pop out of the wall or walk at you in strait lines (minus a few exceptions). does the gameplay change at all later in the game? just starting chapter 7.
