I just beat this on Impossible mode and it was great.
My second play through.
I just used the plasma cutter and pulse rifle (needed that gun to push enemies back and for that turrent secondary firing mode)
Such a good game
I think impossible mode made it even scarier since its a 1-2 hit kill.

Im LTTP on this game, played through Chapter 4 late last year and got bored, but recently picked it back up and I'm now on Chapter 6 and absolutely loving it.
I know alot of people think the monsters are silly , but this game actually scares me (playing mostly at night, in complete dark w/5.1 surround head cans).

So I just got 1000/1000 for it yesterday(and a Plat trophy earlier this year) and this game is easily one of my favorite games this gen. Anyway I just barely noticed something my second to last playthrough.
:lol
During the ending the alien looked like Nicole, I never noticed that before in any of the times I finished it.
I just finished the game on medium for the 3rd time and read through the wikia a little bit, and I still have too many questions.
What I know is
STILL SO CONFUSED.
What I know is
that the black marker was found on earth 200 years prior to the events of dead space, the red marker was a reverse engineered copy of the black marker, and was put on aegis 7 to be monitored.
For what reason was the red marker monitored?
Did the black marker not make people insane?
Red marker contained the hive mind for 200 years, why? Was it made for that reason?
Where did the hive mind come from?
What the shit did Kendra want to do with the red marker?

Some games have their save files locked not only to an account but also a console. I don't if that's the case with Dead Space but you don't need the old save file to get the remaining trophies, just log in with your PSN account.
Hopefully someone else will be able to tell you about the save files or you could just try loading them. ;-)
evil costanza said:
Hopefully that's the case, but I have a feeling Activision is going for a lot more than 2 executives. They're probably headhunting several Visceral employees. They need them for the new studio, and if they can hurt EA in the process I'm sure they won't mind.
Well, the trophies I'm missing all require some time (and a few require my original saves, like the "max everything" one, if I want to get them in one playthrough), so I hope someone can answer me before I try and get angry because the game doesn't award themMassa said:

I finally got around to watching Dead Space: Downfall and I gotta say, it wasn't as terrible as I was expecting. The voice acting was decent and it certainly was gorey enough. There was also quite a few good tie ins to the game itself. I'm glad they included
.
It was pretty cliche though. "I'm no hero, just a man." Seriously? That was a major eye roll moment.
And it definitely got me in the mood for another play through. Now to decide if I want to play on Impossible or not...
Nicole, if only for a brief moment

so you post a gif of an OTT reaction without having a clue as to if they're even spoilers or not?
I think my game has glitched on chapter 6, i have to kill those

Did you kill the one that's underneath the floor?

eggybob said:
It's kind of hard to explain. You know that there are two separate areas you go to that have plants in and a lift in the center? By the lifts there is a control panel that replaces the air vat or something similar. One of the crew members can be killed by activating this, using stasis on the sliding glass panel on the floor and running around to get the correct angle and shooting it. Can't remember exactly which plant area it is, but it's the second one your pointer takes you to.
I haven't watched the movie, so yes SPOILER THAT SHIT in the official thread about the game.Zenith said:
About
the Captain being dead
Nicole being in the movie, frozen for whatever reason,
To me, they are. But maybe I'm still oversensitive because of some idiot spoiling me the final boss in MadWorld a few months ago :/Zenith said:
She's not literally frozen. She has the most unimportant bit-part ever. I didn't even know it was her, and it still might not be. Also why are you combing through the official thread of a game that's 8 months old. Spoiler tags usually last the first few weeks and in every official thread people post blow-by-blow accounts of their progression through the game, followed by questions and discussion about the ending.
I have finished the game, I just haven't seen the movie yet. Sorry for being oversensitive about the spoilers, then.Zenith said:
Anyway, unless my monitor has issues with rendering GAF pages, questions and discussions about the ending do have spoiler tags. Every single one. It's not like everyone buys the same games day one and blazes through them in a week. The latest pages from this very thread are full of people still playing the game for the first time, and they all deserve (and usually get) respect.

I'm 99% sure that was her. Why else would they put that awful "Do you have a boyfriend?" line in there. The actual physical resemblance is pretty spot on too

Beat this game last night, LOVE LOVE LOVED IT. Each boss encounter was a little on the easy side but I was happy with their scale.
End boss spoiler:
Still loved it though.
Favorite weapon: Line gun. So powerful
Worst weapon: Ripper. Weird to use. I didn't care for the Force gun either, too short of range.
End boss spoiler:
There was a moment where he grabbed me and dangled me upside down, while hanging there you have to shoot some weak points on his chest so he drops you. When doing this, I immediately assumed that the aiming axis' were flipped, since you're upside down. I was disappointed when they weren't, but I guess I was getting too hopeful with this game

Yeah. I'm also hoping for an increased number of bosses in the sequel. Seemed a little too far and in between for me.
On a side note, last night I was able to get 59% shields during the

Early in the game while flipping through the achievements list, I saw "Achieve a perfect score at the shooting range." When I finally encountered the shooting range, I decided to take the time to get that achievement, seemed easy enough. I think I was doing it wrong, though. I shot each red target and left each blue one. The scoreboard on the back wall said 1000/1000 each time I did it, and I even got Plasma ammo as a reward. The achievement never kicked off though, and I did it 3 times. I didn't really care anymore at that point, so just continued with the story. Can someone explain how to do it, though?
Also, my first (and only) try at Zero G Basketball was a similar experience. I was hopping from platform to platform til I realized some of them lit up. I started hopping to those but didn't know if I was supposed to stay on them or keep jumping. Half way through I finally saw the damn ball, I didn't even realize it was floating there so I hadn't even taken a shot before then! It ended and I didn't care, so I left and continued with the story. How about this one, how are you supposed to do it?

Three times isn't enough. You have to keep going. I think there are 5 levels of them, so you have to clear them all.
Also, the Zero G trophy, you need to activate the control in the middle of the room, it will then shoot out the ball. Grab it with telekinesis, and shoot it into the holes without "grids" over them. Basically in the empty holes. Keep going, and you'll get it eventually.

nice, thanks. I noticed that the shooting range said "level 1" and I was looking for a way to change it, I thought you could manually set it.
edit: so what's everyone's opinion on the R3 button telling you where to go? I've heard this called "the idiot button" before. Did you like it? Hate it? Refuse to use it? I loved it and abused it. I didn't want to be bothered with the 3D map, and this feature made it impossible to get lost. There was a time or two where it wasn't guiding me the right way (beam went through a locked door) but I was able to manage. Thoughts?

I personally love this feature too. I made it through chapter five before I put the game down (got a little burned out on it for a bit). When I picked it up again a couple months later, I knew exactly where to go and what to do. Up to Chapter 8 and loving it again.

Yeh I loved the game but i did not like the inclusion of the r3 button. I didn't use it much, but it just got too tempting when i was lost. It does make the game a bit too easy. Amazing game though, one of my favorites.

I really like the button. Everytime I got to a corridor with two directions I'd hit it. Once I knew where to go, I'd go in the opposite direction first. Cause that's usually where the hidden stuff was.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
I beat the game a week or so ago on normal, and saved after the credits. I immediately loaded my completed save and am in the process now of going through my new game + mode to get the trophy for 'Upgrading all weapons, etc..." Ive saved over that file many times in this playthrough.
Are you all telling me that once i get the upgrade trophy that once i try to go the menu and start a new game, Impossible mode wont be there? If so thats a SERIOUSLY messed up glitch, and im going to be pissed if i have to beat the game again on normal to get Impossible back.... I only have two trophies to go until i platinum this...the upgrade all weapons one, and beating it on Impossible.

Rated-Rsuperstar said:
yup, I did the exact same thing. Sometimes I would avoid side rooms though, didn't want to waste the ammo in case a monster was waiting.
Did anyone go in the rooms that required a power node to open the door? I didn't want to waste a potential weapon upgrade so I said fuck that. I figure they're just item rooms, right?

I implemented the Trophy support, I believe that if you try and load a save that is signed to a different user you will get a message saying that it is unable to load the save because it is signed to a different user.
So you should never get to the point where you're playing and it doesn't award trophies.

Not sure if you're making fun of me or not.... :lol
Anyhow, what you said about the save above....the save i am using now is the same one i beat the game with. I've saved over it since then as i've been going through new game + (if that makes sense).....will i still have the 'impossible' option, or no?
