Out of curiosity, are those DLC (and/or preorder) weapons something you can actually craft (or very closely replicate) with the crafting system, or are they completely different?
They're completely unique. You can craft similar things, but they are unique items.

Very, very cool.

So is there a reward for going through the game without dying?

That is really good to hear i can't wait to see what they have come up with.
This is such a bizarre complaint to me - have you been playing any of the side missions at all? There's one mission that's basically a tribute to The Thing. It's fantastic and
extremely disgusting
In any case, for people who are enjoying the game, I can treat "Progress Saved" as an actual save point right? "Inventory Saved" apparently doesn't do anything re saving your game progress since I've had to repeat sections if I've quit after seeing it.

But... Dead Space 3 is also good.
Also, anyone else think the design for the DS2 (creature spoiler)
Ubermorph is better than whatever variant we see in Chapter 5 of DS3? Unless these Ubermorphs/Hunters evolved out of people, which is possible.
Edit: Oh, they're just called Regenerators.

Loved DS1 and 2. But good God, Chapter 1 was terrible.

lol, it feels like I'm the only one who is actually fine with Chapter 1.
I'm sort of surprised that you are. It was almost insulting to me, lol. Maybe because the Dead Space 2 opening was absolute perfection. DS3's opening just felt out of place, confused, and, well, bad.
Luckily, everything after that becomes incredibly awesome.
I certainly didn't hate it. It was a strange way to start the game, but I only bothered killing the humans that got in my way. If they weren't blocking my path, I didn't bother with them. I think that helped make it more enjoyable.
An issue I have with chapter 1, which might have been brought up already:
You leave that city in a pretty fucked state, and so far it hasn't been spoken of again. I wouldn't mind seeing a spin-off game taking place there, or story DLC focusing on someone trying to escape.

I think the art direction and the fact that it's really really short helps. No, it doesn't quite grab you like DS1 and DS2's opening, but it sure is pretty.
Your loss.
I think the DS3 regenerators are just as annoying as the DS2 regenerator (to me anyways). DS2's regenerator does feel tougher than DS3's do though, imho. You did get this sense that an implacable terminator-like enemy was after you in that last run up to the final boss in DS2. In DS3, the regenerators are also annoying and stress-inducing, but since you're just waiting for a tram, I didn't feel as panicked as I did in DS2.

Yeah, I suppose. I think DS1 did this enemy the best:
Cause the Hunter chased you for the whole game, popping up when you least expected it, and the only way to kill him was near the end with the shuttle engines. That dude was fucking terrifying. The DS2 Ubermorph wasn't as scary, but he felt a hell of a lot more tense dealing with him cause he feels more, as you said, Terminator-esque. Wicked alien design as well. The Regenerators in DS3 made me feel tense, but not as tense as in DS2, but then again, a lot more was on the line as he only appeared near the end and close to the climax, while we're still just starting out in DS3.
Hahahaha, kinda yeah.

Anyone on ps3 want to do the second and third coop missions? Send a friend request to MassXtortion
Hahahaha, kinda yeah.
Hah
I absolutely hate being powerless, but I respect the consistency.
You're not really powerless. You have a gun. It's probably best to just run through most of it, though.

Hey codecow, so I made the Codecow gun. Don't hate, participate.
What's the meaning behind that?

Playing this more co-op with various different friend that got it and they too are having a good time. Some of you guys might not be enjoying this but so far everyone I know personally is having fun. I think people on the fence should still at least rent it.

Is there any purpose to doing the optional missions besides the extra little story bits that you get out of them? I did the first one that I just came across in Chapter 4 (Greely?) and didn't really recieve anything that proved to be worth the time. I'll probably complete them all anyways since I'm sure there must atleast be an achievement, but I was wondering if there was anything else attached to them at all.

Sometimes the resource packs at the bench don't show up (PC version) - what gives?
Yeah, it seems that if you save and quit your game and immediately enter the Weapons Arena, fires a few shots, save and quit again and enter your game once more you're glitched.
So far it seems there's no way to get back to normal.
It's unbelievable how such a big and easy to replicate glitch got past QA. I hope Visceral do something about it.
I'm seriously thinking of deleting my game and starting again, but I already have played for almost 10 hours. It's just not fun playing like that the first time you're playing the game.
Trophy and achievement hunters on the other hand are going to be ecstatic...
Impossible and Hardcore are going to be a walk in the park for anyone that uses this exploit.
If you liked 2 that much I sincerely can't see how you're not going to enjoy this one.
I'm playing it solo.
You're playing on normal right?
Anyway, regardless of how many items the game normally drops a glitch like this is still a big fuck up IMO.
I think I'm going to delete my game, take a couple days from DS3 and come back later when a patch is up. I want to mess around with the Weapon Arena to find the better weapons for the higher difficulties without this glitch.
I was anticipating DS3 so much... =(

This game gives you a fuckton of ammo
I'm on chapter 11 and have like 3000 shots for my SMG and 600 shots for my Plasma cutter

I'm watching someone stream this on Twitch. They're using a machine gun and just going full auto on one of the enemies attached to the wall. Running up to melee slashers. Dying over and over on normal difficulty.
I think this is why there are microtransaction options.

I thought it was pretty neat, I didn't particularly enjoy fighting human enemies, but I liked everything else about it.

I'd say 90 minutes-2 hours to be safe. Game is long. My final time was 13:30 in normal mode with all single player side missions.

Yeah, around chapter 9 and 10 you'll be able to craft awesome +2 circuits, like + 2 damage and + 2 reload.
Why does the mobs this time in this game drop so many health packs? More than half of my inventory are health packs lol.
Anyway I'm at the ice planet now but so far the game isn't as scary as DS1 and 2, quite disappointed tbh. Gameplay is pretty much the same though, awesome.

yep, game is definitely too easy, I play on hard and I am literally drowning in ammo and health packs. even withhout crafing them. I gave my fusion cutter some damage upgrades and it obliterates all enemies with a maximum of 2 shots. sometimes I take off 2 legs with 1 shot and they die. there is definitely something wrong with this game's balance.
you can also go back and replay old levels and after that continue the story from where you were, which allows very easy farming of ammo and health packs (and playing side missions if you are as dumb as me and missed them)

Play on Impossible...
Can you explain how this works? Wouldn't replaying older levels rewrites the existing save?
I think they give you the great craftable mods a bit too soon. They weren't found in the environment until maybe the last few hours, but I had my plasma cutter with 4 +2dmg, +2clip mods around the mid of the game. Would have kitted out all of my gear by then if I had used the ration seals.

For anyone on Origin, have you tried the Twitch streaming feature? How is it?
Thinking of streaming my current Impossible run later in the afternoon.
