Dead Space: Worth my time?

[Orpheon]

^THIS.
You can tell this was made for console aiming, because the awkward, clunky controls kind of spoil the PC version from being a really enjoyable game.

Man that sounds exactly like The Force Unleashed. I got it for PC because Steam was having a sale and I liked the game, but it was nearly unplayable on a keyboard and mouse. Even navigating the menu was strange and frustrating because there wasn’t even a mouse pointer in the menu (that’s how completely ripped from Xbox it was). I lucked out cause I happened to have an xbox and the PC adapter already. It was buttery smooth after switching to the controller.

But, uh, yeah, so my point is, if Dead Space PC is anything like that, and you don’t wanna play with a controller, then it’ll be really, really annoying.

Dead Space was waste of my time and money. The gameplay is absolutely horrible.

Trust SpooBoy and get Dead Space for the PC. You will not regret it!

Dead Space is a good and solid sci-fi survival horror shooter.

Not thaaat great and not really that scary (in my opinion), but I can recommend playing it anyway.

Well, but you should know it has its annoying parts: You can even die with full health directly, if you aren’t aware of some cases.

For example a situation, where you are surprisingly grabbed by a creature and unable to change the weapon (because it’s blocked at this moment), while your current one is ineffective against that enemy.
So, if you don’t know exactly, where this enemy appears (which is normally the case, if you play a game the first time) and runs around with a shitty weapon or low ammo, you are fucked. And it is simply that stupid…I thought about throwing the game out of the window after that!

Also, if you are surrounded by a horde of motherfuckers and have to go into the inventory to choose another weapon or taking a medkit and every hit of that creatures throws you out of that menu…I thought about throwing the DVD out of the window.

And another: If you come to close to a special kind of enemy, it knocks your head off…even with a full health bar. And again I thought about throwing the game out of the window, because it was only annoying.

wait, im not sure about console weapon/item selection but on PC you can press number keys for different weapons, and hot-keys for med-kit and other things. so if you are talking about this game on X-box or something just disregard what i said as psychotic ramblings.

i would completely recommend dead space, it was actually one of the best games i have ever played. i only play games on PC, so the aiming style and hud system never bothered me.

This is the only game that ever actually SCARED me. i played it full volume at night with lights off and almost shit myself, and that was on normal difficulty. I also always thought the game was just really robust.

The whole game had that feeling of solidness and everything just looked good, alt-tabbing doesn’t break it or anything and it all loaded very fast.

Definitely get this game, it is so totally worth it. i loved it, and im still playing it today.

also, I’ve been crying about dead space 2 not being for PC, unless that has been changed… I’m always late to the internet party…

Assassine’s Creed 2 has an awesome plot. Like a playable good movie.

OK, just forget what I said…

What the hell???
If EA continues to set their focus on the video game console market by neglecting the PC gamers, I hope they go all to hell!

Calm down big bertha, Dead Space is on the PC, as well as every other game they have made…even if there can be shitty ports.

@baconeggs

Considering getting Dead Space in a week or so. Just need some opinions on whethers it’s worth it or not. I’ve got a secondary choice of ARMA II, but if you have any other suggestions add them.

And a few don’ts:

• L4D 1 or 2
• any fantasy RPG
• Just Cause 2
• Metro 2033

Dead Space was pretty good… but whats wrong with L4D 1 and 2? I thought they were fun games.

@baconeggs

Ahahahahahahahahaha, heh. No.

Can I please have some suggestions for other games at least?

• Crimsonland (top-down alien/zombie shooter with level-ups and bonuses)
• Original War (unique RTS/RPG)
• F.E.A.R. (FPS)

[hercule_poirots_nuts]

that spiderman game for the ps1 where you died if you went too low

[mrfohlin]

@King_Kaddo

Assassin’s Creed 2

Fix’d.
Bioshock 1+2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum are great games, but I suspect you have already played those 3?
Other than that, try the Prince of Persia games or wait for Red Dead Redemption.

@Metritutus

I played this on the PC and happened to really enjoy it. I recommend it. No idea what it is like on a console.

The way it’s meant to be. Good.

This is pretty much exactly what i was gonna write :3, and i will highly recommend playing it with the right atmosphere.

They did change it, DS2 will be on PC

[Mango_Assassin]

IMO plays better on xbox 360 or compatible controller, make sure you got a nice tv, pitch black room, and decent surround sound so you shit yourself. one of my favourite games! :fffuuu:

…

@Mango Assassin

so you shit yourself.

wait… you WANT to shit yourself?

[Acristoff]

With feces prices so high, you can’t afford not to shit yourself!

[ac3d]

it’s a solid game, get it!

Stalker 1 is ok, the reactor parts of the game are scary as hell.
FEAR impressed me, but it never really scared me

edit: Resident Evil 2, scary scary SCARY!
whenever I think of the song from the police station main hall… it’s a great game
but I don’t want to play it again because it still gives me weird feelings

[garrthbarrttinn]

Deadspace is fun and definitely worth your time. But if you want a little more action instead of nothing but horror, try F.E.A.R. 2 Project Origin. It’s got some intense fighting and some prettyscary moments too. And a really cool slo-mo mode. And I think it has a multiplayer.

I didn’t say they were bad, I just don’t feeling like getting them.

@MysticJ

• Crimsonland (top-down alien/zombie shooter with level-ups and bonuses)
• Original War (unique RTS/RPG)
• F.E.A.R. (FPS)

Played F.E.A.R. Haven’t heard of the other two.

@hercule poirots nutsack

Played that, quite a fun game in its day. Traded it in for Call of Pripyat though. :3

@mrfohlin

Prince of Persia games or wait for Red Dead Redemption.

I said no fantasy. Running around cutting up monsters and solving occasional puzzles doesn’t appeal to me. I haven’t really looked into RDR yet, any opinions?

@ac3d

Played both. Scared in the NPP levels? Jeez, they were creepy but never truly scary. Lab X18 with the poltergeists and pseudogiant? Oh man, I hate going there!

Ohh yea, sorry. But RDR looks pretty good, with the combat system and everything. Look into it!
