It's from one of the TV ads running at the moment, I think. Or maybe a demo.
LOL!

Taking one frame out of that sequence and making a case that the whole game sucks is just stupid.
LOL STUPID SHOW.
Picked it up earlier today and just finished playing chapter 2. I like the world building attempt at the start if the game but those human enemies can suck it. I'm only playing on normal but all they do is stand there.
The set pieces have been fun and in some sections I felt the old dead space creep climbing up the back of my neck. Still mostly in the tutorial stages it seems like so I can't comment on any big combat encounters yet.
Also, single player is exactly that so far it seems. No dude following you around or anything. I'm gonna beat it first as Issac and then go in for co-op on round two.

Er... right, because me posting a funny image is tantamount to me calling the entire game stupid. Don't be so defensive.
also Janeway? Boooo

Playing on PC and I keep getting a random crash about every 30 minutes or so. Anyone else experiencing this?
I just caved on the Art Book. Looks fucking gorgeous.

I'm not saying you said that, but it has been used as a reason to hate on the game in other places and by other people. It's a hilarious image, but no reason at all to dismiss the game wholesale.

I'm watching a walkthrough on youtube and my lord the whole love triangle plot is monumentally stupid and forced. Who thought that would be a good plot point? Ugh.
Some of the early stuff looks good though, just doesn't seem like it has as much context as the first game or the same amount of story to keep you going from fetch quest type repair to fetch quest repair. Like, in the first game everything was new and you were constantly uncovering more about the necromorphs whereas in DS3 it seems like there isn't as much new story stuff to kind of push you through, at least early on.

So tell them, not me.
There are plenty of other reasons I'm disappointed with the game so far, I just think the image is hilarious. We were also talking about redesigned characters and character models in general, so it's a pretty apt picture.
...no.
2 years
That's what I thought. Wasn't sure though becuase it seemed like a longer time jump.
And thanks.
I don't see how 60fps hurts the atmosphere, the game is way more responsive at 60 frames per second and since it's a video games I'm playing it makes sense to play it that way, for me.
I think (hope) he was being sarcastic.
I don't mind that Ellie has...grown bigger breasts but
what happened to her missing eye? Does Dead Space 3 at least have an explanation as to why her eye is now back or even say that some of the events from DS2 were in Isaac's head only? If not, that's pretty bad....someone wasn't even paying attention to the story from DS2.

I assume he meant it's been two years since DS2 was released. That's what I assumed you were asking. No idea how long the gap is between DS2 and 3 narrative-wise. Two years? How convenient!

It is so easy not to buy this game, Origin, generally lukewarm reviews, straight console port, dlc, microtransactions, shootbang, coop, $60.
Thanks EA.

Your not the first person to ask this, and also meaning that many people just don't explore. Log, right in Isaacs apartment. Start of chapter 1.
You hope? No it was not sarcasm. Maybe I'm just used to it because of my time with DS1 on the console, but the game just looks off at 60fps
Mind you I've seen folks on GAF holding such opinion.
I can respect that still. Many games chase a cinematic feel aesthetically speaking and I can understand why 30fps may be seen as the way to go for some people yet I firmly believe 60fps is always better.
It does not degrade anything...It enhances the experience in my opinion, true for every games.
Fair enough that's your opinion. For my part I couldn't even force myself to play it at 30fps...60 all the way.
I think the game has been intended to be played at 60 given how it makes the encounters much more enjoyable.
don't they say in the very beginning of the game in a cutscene or text log or something that ellie has a plastic eye now but they couldn't get a color to match her original one so she has two separate color eyes now.
Edit: Slasher was typing as I was typing. lol He can type and stream at the same time. That guy can surely multitask. All while he's sick too.

LOL I'm a trooper!
I could understand that, my first jump from console to PC was disorienting at first to say the least.
Yeah, some games do go for that cinematic feel but only so many actually get it right. Dead Space is not a game that was meant to be in that tier imo. But I could see how people playing on consoles could be used to it.
Yeah one of the reason I wanted to pick it up is that Glen Schofield is actually a pretty accomplished artist in his own right outside of games. Plus Ian Milham has done some other non game related stuff I've come across in the past that has looked mental.
Dead Space 1 came out October 2008
Dead Space 2 came out January 2011
Dead Space 3, February 2013
So they've been pretty evenly spaced out in that ~2 year range.
A crummy commercial?! Son of a bitch!

Is the 360 version 2 discs like the last game? I'm just curious, as I bought the 1-disc (PS3) version.

Dat feel.
Hard, but it seems like impossible might be a better fit for me.

So about three to four hours in on a co-op run on Impossible difficulty.
The co-op turns the game into a run and gun / shoot and loot fest like Borderlands 1 and 2. Zero sense of suspense.
Going to try the solitary experience to see if that helps.
Surprisingly, the create-a-gun mode seems pretty well done and not the microstransactional nightmare I anticipated.
It doesn't really start very strong however.

Yeah, I meant how long had passed in the games universe. Not real life. 2008 doesn't feel that long ago though now that you lay it out.
Ahhh. Well, just started a fresh run of DS2 this week to get psyched, and I believe Daina tells Isaac that's he's been out of it for 3 years.
