Go ahead and call me an ass, but this game is going to be the worst in the series. For the casual gamer, yes, it will be fine. However, most of us here are not "casual" in any sense of the word. First problem: coop. Apparently, some achievements, parts of the game, and cutscenes are only available with coop. Just, fuck. Some people (including myself) don't want to ruin immersion by playing coop with some asshole of a friend who also got the game. Having optional coop is fine, but including content that can only be accessed with coop is just retarded in every sense of the word. Second problem: new weapon customization. My first reaction wasn't negative, but having uber weapons combined with each other is going to significantly detract from the survival-horror experience. Which brings me to my third problem. Dead Space 3 isn't even survival-horror any more, it's a god damn action game and the developers have the nerve to include a fucking cover system, and human enemies. Why not call it Gears of Dead Space 3? Fuck you EA, and fuck you Visceral. You've officially ruined one of my favorite series.
LOL at there damage control as well. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/De...ore-Was-Made-Attract-Mobile-Gamers-51832.html
Tried the demo on PS3 the other day. I'm officially completely 100% put off by this bag o' shite and won't even buy it used. Honestly, I never considered Dead Space to be survival horror in the first place and I somehow knew that, one day, EA would turn it into Army of Two: IN SPACE!. And behold, Cerberus was right.
Okay, you're right; Dead Space 1 wasn't exactly survival horror, but it gets pretty damn close if you play on the hardest difficulty. Which is the only way to play it IMO. Why Cerbrus?! Why must you always be right?! Such a good series... ruined.
It being survival horror doesn't entirely depend on the difficulty, Mr. Picker. It's about the way the game handles its contents. While there are definitely solid survival horror ingredients (such as The Hunter aka "the regenerating necromorph" and a fairly hostile and oppressive environment), confrontation is forced upon the player with a heavy focus on combat, the player feels empowered, the game activates horde mode all too often and the only way to "win" the game is to kill everything in sight like a space marine would do. Don't get me wrong, I liked Dead Space quite a bit but I remember, before its release, me and a fellow survival horror fanatic were worried that it would turn out to be RE4: IN SPACE!, sadly that's exactly what happened... A short word regarding The Hunter; if this thing would've been the game's main monster, we would've gotten this gen's equivalent of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis and then, my good man, Dead Space would've been one helluva survival horror game!
No. No, it bloody doesn't. I don't think Last Light lets you carry around a minigun taped together with a stasis module, a pulse rifle, a flamethrower and a toaster with fucking iron sights.
I will ask nicely that none of us buy this game. this is just a gateway to micro transactions for everything. Soon to fight a boss we will have to pay!
You don't have worry about me buying this. Dead Space 3 effortlessly made my shitlist. EDIT: Marcus Beer tears EA a new one
I'm playing on Impossible difficulty from the get go and it's pretty challenging and entertaining, and the atmosphere is top notch. Chapter 5 out of 19, let's see if it keeps this up.
