Dead space

[XXomegamanXX]

How else played this game and was like" wow i love this game IT'S SO AWESOME" played some more and said" this is too hard i'll finish this one but probably won't play the other one because it might be too hard. Who else thought this game was balls to the wall hard?

[OwnageGiy223]

Nobody... Seriously, the first damn weapon you get is overpowered... It killed most enemies in 2-3 shots if you can aim worth a shit.

oh, i was talking about dead space 2 by the way.

[naronic]

action game trying to sell itself as horror

or at least that what I always thought of it

[Lagatag]

Thanks for the laugh

Dead Space is a great game though

[Atheist-Messiah]

It was pretty brutal. The extensive and bloody deaths really pissed me off though. It was like the designers were like, "This'll piss them off!"

But nah I beat it. Good game.

[POTaTOS]

I've been thinking about getting it. But I scare easily. Is it worth renting for a coward?

GET BOTH NOW< LIKE NOW< LIKE STOP READING AND GO GET IT. then when you want a real scary- go on steam and you know what to buy.

Seriously? Dead Space was really quite easy. I beat it on impossible with just the Plasma Cutter(the other guns are a waste of time anyway) and didn't have much problem with it, although I did have to use the stasus-refill cheat at one point. I'm not trying to look badass or something here, I can't even beat any CoD game on veteran. You must really suck, op.

I never get it when people say they are turned off by horror games because they're scared easily. Being scared is kind of the whole point of a horror game. I'd say go for it definitely, they have great gameplay and an interesting universe. Both of them are great games and actually being scared by them would just add to it. It's really just gore and the odd jump scare though, don't go in expecting silent hill level and you wont be disappointed.

You kidding? The death animations were one of the best things about the Dead Space games, just because they were so over the top brutal.

So yeah, i'm an avid Dead Space fan but neither of them are very hard, and even the highest difficulty isn't excruciating. Both of them are only scary for about the first half though, because after that you kind of know what to expect. Dead Space 1 was much much scarier, probably because you felt much more alone and weak on a dark ship with aliens that killed everyone, as opposed to the 2nd where you have a wider weapon arsenal, there's more lights in the game, and you interact with other survivors much more. Except by the end of Dead Space 1 I was just pissed that I'd been doing ridiculous amounts of seemingly pointless crap and just wanted to finish the game and get it over with, while the 2nd made me feel like I was actually getting work done.

Tl;dr, Love them both but they aren't hard.

It's in my Gamefly Que. Near the back.

I think Dead Space is 10X scarier than Dead Space 2. In DS2, you've got that feeling that there's someone always there and helping you, that they're going to help you the whole way. In DS, you've got that feeling that you don't know what's around the corner, any help you've got is always getting cut-off from you or dying.

That's why they invented hard mode.

[Zippy-MyMusic]

I started the game on the hardest difficulty. They rarely gave me any ammo, so more often than not I had to beat monsters to death with my plasma cutter. It was annoying, but rewarding in the end.

[dem0lecule]

Well, the hard setting is insane. But the rest is pretty much piece of cake since you know how the whole game work.

First time I got Doom 3, I thought it was the scariest space game... turned out Dead Space topped it completely.

The sound FXs, lighting, acts scare the shit out of me. Since you know you are completely alone in that game, and you know even your cutter is going to run out of ammo.

Gore is one thing, but another is how you deal with the failure, psychologically. The part that affected me the most was where in DS 2 Issac got his arms crushed off when the heretic door closed when vacuum sucked in. You heard the crush and yell, saw his head leaned against the door and then his body slowly slide down...

That part is much better than there he got acid into his mouth.

I finished Dead Space 2 a few weeks ago, and I'm yet to play the first one. Simply an awesome game. In terms of it being a horror title, it's not that scary after a while. You get desensitised to the surprises and the suspense when you begin to predict when something will burst out of the walls again, but it's a great game in terms of it's replayability.

The death animations are brutal. They're the kinds of one that make you cringe, especially in that ONE scene near the end.. Anyone who's played the game will know what I'm talking about.

Cross my heart

Thanks for wasting my entire night, now I probably know what happens in the entire game without even having played Dead Space, although I still haven't watched all the episodes. Nice series though, not as amusing, but I found it more interesting to watch someone play the game with a humorous tone.

[Sense-Offender]

I still haven't beaten it because I keep getting distracted by other games. I think I'm near the end, though. It gets hard in some spots, but for the most part, it isn't that bad. There were some parts that were pretty damn hard, though.

And with Skyrim and Saints Row the Third, I don't think I'll be picking it back up any time soon, or even playing anything else at all, for that matter.

[Quinny]

I have the platinum for it, impossible mode was pretty tricky as you could get killed by even a regular enemy in one hit. Also, the first letter of the chapters names is a secret message.

Yeah, I know what it says, it says N***********

I censored it for the lulz.

[Gasthecar]

I only found it hard on the PC, mainly due to the f-ed up controls

[convict357]

Oh, yeah and there's a secret message on Dead Space: Extraction too! it says W*********

Censored it again for the lulz.

[TheGrim]

The first was not nearly as fun as the second...for a while I was stuck at the invincible boss part until I re-started and put all my money into the first gun. It becomes so OP with a bunch of ammo and upgrades in it.

[bigCman321]

I played the first one and thought it was great, and then I played the second one and thought it was awesome. I can't wait for the next one. For me it's a good mixture of horror, action, good graphics, fun weapons, etc that make the games great.

Also, yeah I used humor to get myself through certain parts of the game... Don't even mention Amnesia, I can't handle that.

[Raab]

I absolutely loved dead space. A friend let me borrow it and I played it nonstop. It has been a while since I have actually been afraid while playing a game. I think I played so slowly and cautiously that I put an old ladys driving to shame... Haha.
