Dead Space

Another kool aspect of the game is the facts that its linear gameplay, so its not likely you are going to get stuck and aggetated.

Thats a mixed blessing ... yeah its linear but you can still get lost/confused but you do have the option to press one button that draws a neon line on the floor directing you where to go.

Linear games can be great Prey was pretty linear but some games overdo it. Warhead was far too linear compared to the original.

Dam people keep giving more reasons not to get this game dammit. I like being lost or wondering WTF or just even freedom.

This game is damn AWESOME, i've played almost every survival horror in existance and this one ranks upon the top of the list, the atmosphere is great, they don't overdo the "creepy bits but nothing actuley happens" since you never know when somthing actuley will happen.

It's a really great game, the guns are awesome, lots of upgrades, and shooting off enemies into pieces just doesn't get any better

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I really enjoy stomping those deformed bastars. Reminds me of the awesome curb stomp in Gears.

It's a shame though that without the music, you lose half of the creepiness. I wish they'd start working on making the music irrelevant in games, and only have it there for personal enjoyment, rather than hinging one of the defining values of the program on it.

I also notice that just based on your physical surroundings (and the music, ..but putting that aside for a minute) you can almost always tell when you're about to go into combat or come under attack. I don't mind the linear storyline, but I do mind the linear encounter rate.

I wish you'd open a door and come under attack more often and etc. The only bad part about that is the third person and slow response would leave you more vulnerable.

without music every peice of media you watch would only have half the inpact it does, films wouldn't have you on the edge of your seat, gmes wouldnt have you jumping everytime a light flickers. It wont ever happen no matter how good a game is, with out music, it will never have the full shock pottential it could have with music. No matter how good the graphics are, no matter how f**kd up the bad guys are no matter how different the encounter scenarios are it wont work

 

[newconroer]

Maybe, but that varies highly with the individual when you start to get into specifics.

For instance, I rarely rarely rarely have music on in any game, and when I first played DOOM III, I got a tingling sensation just going out of the air lock the first time, and when all hell broke loose, when the demons first crashed the party, I was panning my view 360 looking for incoming action. All music would have done was over exaggerate my senses and dis-allow me from possibly hearing relevant sounds to my situation.

Movies I'm alright with, because they purposely pick and choose the best spots where to play music and at what volumes. Developers of games do this as well, but they cannot control where or what you are exactly doing when the music starts playing, changes or ends.

Also, sometimes music blocks sounds that might creep you out. When it's dead quiet, and you can only hear Isaac breathing, and then you hear some bump or creak or clanging noise in the darkness ahead of you, you perk up! With music going inappropriatley, you wouldn't hear that.

They just need to put more effort into making a game's dynamics and appeal not so reliant on music.

I found the controls to be somewhat awkward. Walking on the walls in zero gravity with body parts in the way can get pretty confusing. XD

 

[newconroer]

Yes, but fortunatley you can remap the keys...

Putting the input delay aside, the inventory menu is horrible!

 

[Binge]

I haven't had problems with the inventory, but what I have had problems with is when something jumps on my back and I'm like ... DEAD. Smashing 'E' will save u sometimes, but nothing will replace a good set of nerves so you don't throw your keyboard and mouse off the table I duct taped my keyboard, but if I freak out like that again I still need the mouse for aiming. Thinking of a glove mod to keep the mouse on my hand.

it all kinda looked like this...

 

[ste2425]

haha for some strange reason that picture tickled me anyway

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I managed to play another few hours last night. I'm trying to pickup everything I find which turns out to be impossible. There is almost too much amo in the first 3 levels. I upgraded my suit and I still cant hold all the crap I find.

Fighting these things with the stasis pack gets to be almost too easy as well.

lol, I thanked you for the laugh!

 

[Chryonn]

what's that nun doing?

 

[Megasty]

Finally beat it on hard after trying easy. This game is plain sick on hard. I'm not even going to try that impossible mode bs. That final boss makes everything else in the game look like cake & ice cream. This craziness is starting to freak me out. Damn this is a good game.

 

[ste2425]

haha i wanna no to story as i crnt afford it right now but i dnt wanna no the story at the same time coz itl spoil it when i can afford it

 

[newconroer]

Mega,

If you think about the last boss for a bit, he's actually one of the easiest encounters; it's just that you have to nail down the timing and with the controls on PC, that's easier said than done ;/

 

[ste2425]

games with bosses anoy me, if you just pretend for a second that aliens, zombies n all that stuff are real what's the chances your gonna have to kill bosses every five different streets you go down

I find that games with bosses are better than shoot lots nd lots of them till door opens then go through door and shoot moar.

 

[ste2425]

dunno why i just prefer the shoot run hide shoot run hide big explosion shoot run hide etc etc for many an hour

I actually had a much harder time with the sick things that pulled you into the walls than anything else. For the last boss, it was mostly shoot & avoid being smashed. The sheer size of the thing left a huge impression though. Nothing else in the game can even come close to how great that big boy looked.

 

[Frizz]

Gahhh up to the bit where valor crashed into ishimura. This game isn't that scary but yeah seeing those fast things with the shaking head run up so close that it makes you wanna kill them 10 times over. I hate em haha hate em hate em.

 

[AphexDreamer]

Guys this is really pissing me off. Chapter 5 how do You kill that Super Mutant alien that never dies and just regenerates. I'm fighting him in a room where all the door's are locked and I'm assuming I just have to stall for time since that seems to be the only way to beat it.

 

[Frizz]

You can't kill him in that room, you have to kill him later on in the chapter I think, for now you have to slow him down while you kill the other aliens. He made me stop playing for a few hours lol, probably the most annoying mutant in the game xD

Thank You!! So just kill everyone else and I'll be fine?

What sucks is that I have like no ammo, no health or health packs and no stasis... So yeah its preatty bitchen hard for me.
