So PC version is bad?
It's fine, if you have a gamepad.momolicious said:
I kind of thought this was accepted by now, but I guess Dead Space just serves as the latest and best example.
If you are going to use your PC as a console substitute (congratulations on joining the winning team) you must buy a gamepad. 9 out of 10 games that get released on the consoles and the PC are going to be very much console games, with PC ports. That means controls that aren't going to get along at all with a keyboard and mouse.
Every complaint about Dead Space PC centers around trying to control it with the keyboard/mouse. And I guess somebody can't stand the FOV, though I don't really know what's up with that.

Finally started up, was very curious to see what Isaac looked like and took the opportunity to rotate at the beginning. Just happened to remind me of a character from a current show...
.
Off to the game.
scruffy nature, eyes, and hair reminded immediately of Derek Reese in the Sarah Connor Chronicles, though the face is fatter and not itself to be confused with that actor...
Off to the game.

I'm on chapter 11, assuming I'm nearly done.
I think the levels have been getting even better as the game goes on.
just fucking awesome.
As I play, I can just imagine the different ways people must be modifying their play style due to the item upgrade/management system.
I've only used 2 guns the entire game (Plasma Cutter and Line Gun) and they're fully upgraded. I haven't updated my kinetic power even once and I immediately sell any statis and air canisters I get for cash. I hardly ever use my powers unless the puzzle absolutely requires it, but in those cases there will always be some sort of recharge station so the items aren't necessary.
2 quick questions:
1.
I just wanna know if I should be saving the cash for it.
2.
It's been an amazing ride thus far. I can't wait to start it all over again.

Do I buy the level 6 suit or is it free?
2.
What gets transferred over in the new game+? All weapon upgrades? Do I keep any extra nodes I might have collected?

I agree at least about the fat cheeks part (though "goober"? Nah), I dialed back my description to include "rounder" when "fatter" is what I really meant...so to hell with it I put it back that way...heh
Oh, and I see back there was surprise about the "X" button being used for the health. I have the game paused at the tutorial screen that tells you that explicitly in-game...

Does it work well with the ps3 controller with USB cord?
Right before the end of level 5 where you have
, I could have sworn I heard the intercom say "Calling Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard".
Did anyone else catch that? Did I mishear it?
That's an old Three Stooges line that I remember specifically from the shorts on Sunday morning TV and later from the Three Stooges game by Cinemaware.
Or has this game caused me to lose my mind? :^)
the battle with the regenerating piece of shit that you end up killing with the cryo machine

Just finished and got the One Gun trophy! Wow, what a game. This game isn't being hyped nearly enough. This has been one of the best next gen experiences I have had so far. It is right up there with Uncharted, MGS4, and RFOM. Everything about this game screams quality.
My hats off to EA Redwood for scaring the shit out of me. By far the best game I have ever played in that regard. The sound was just as important as the visuals.
I am even going to play through again, but this time I will use all of the weapons. I still think in the end the plama cutter will be my favorite. I love that damn thing.

My guess is that any DIY drivers made for the PS3 controller wouldn't be able to access the vibration function, whereas the 360 controller would work perfectly since MS has XP and Vista drivers for it.momolicious said:
Get a wired 360 controller.

Hahaha at the ending.

Overall, I'd have to say the lack of HUD was what really lent its way to the tension in this game, no distracting big ass bars to downplay fear.
Man, I was spoiled as to
necro-Nicole attacking, but I thought it was some final kill that you had to do, not a cutscene that heavily implies that Isaac bites the dust at the end. If EA does decide to sequel this sweet game, they had better use Isaac again and have a good explanation, because I'm pretty sure that in that small cockpit area, he would have seen her before she crawled out from behind a tiny-ass chair....oh, and before I forget, anyone screencap that alien message right before the credits, or translate it?

she wasn't even all that dangerous yet, she was still completely human looking. He was in love with Nicole though, so it begs the question. Would you be able to kill the one you love?
MorisUkunRasik said:
I'm pretty sure it was just an hallucination, like Nicole always was. He's seen so many of these things he's probably going to have a hard time getting used to them not being around him all the time. That paranoia probably merged with his love for Nicole.

I just thought of this, especially when
She's still got human physical features like hair, and Necro Nicole, at least as far as we know, was never on the shuttle to begin with, if she was even turned into a Necro in the first place.

Just finished it up a couple minutes ago, I'm pretty impressed overall.
+Graphics...oh my. Everything is just ultra detailed and the lighting is fantastic.
+No UI was a brilliant move. It really added to the sense of isolation and dread.
+Outstanding audio, if I ever showcase surround sound for someone this game is the one I'll reach for.
+Nice variation on weapons, each one feels good to use.

. I liked the level designs in most cases but the earlier levels just kinda blended together in most cases.
-First play through it seemed kinda hard to level up any of my equipment with the power cells. (I pretty much only maxed out my suit, the rest only has one or two in them or none at all)
I give a standing ovation to the team at EA for creating this though, the good outweighs the bad drastically and you should be proud to have made such a cool game.

The bosses were absolutely awesome especially since most of them were 100x bigger than you were.

Hell, who wouldn't agree with that? Isaac is the man, no pretense at all.
Putting it away until tomorrow, only up to
med area going for the second of those 2 needed parts, loved the smooth integration of weightless and outer-hull areas

I haven't finished the game yet, but at the end does Isaac turn out to be a girl? :lolZeliard said:

Just start a new game specifically to see the intro sequence again and rotate the camera around to the front of Isaac's face when it allows you to.

lol, you see he's a dude in the very first scene by angling the camera in the beginning.
But yeah, his cheeks do look a little chubby at the end, different from the opening.

What difficulty where you playing on? On medium I was able to fully upgrade the RIG, Kinesis, Stasis, Line Gun and Plasma Cutter and start on the Force Gun
Force Gun rocks by the way but Line Gun + Plasma Cutter is best on first playthrough I think. Lets you concentrate on upgrades for only two weapons and makes ammo easier to manage

Ive been following this since it was first announced and it seems that its a fantastic experience. However I can't afford all these great games coming out...I plan on buying Fable II. And I DEF want to get this because I love Space and Sci Fi. What is the replay value? I take it from most of the posts that its no bother renting it, that it should be one to buy. Is that an accurate statement?
I am playing my first play trough on hard, and I am getting my ass handed.
Lack of ammo and to much enemies at once.. I have seen the loading screen many times. \I like to take my time with this game, so I don't mind.
Also, I never get scared by games, but this game managed to get me jumping in the first 45 minutes of the game.
EA a job well done!
