Re: Dead Space 3 Discussion Thread

Yes you will. Start with DS 1. And trust me all the games are worth playing, can't comment about this one though because I have not played it yet but both previous parts are really nice game and brings something new to the table in terms of horror since you haven't played any game from this series.
May I ask come you missed the entire series of this awesome game ??

Reached the end of the game. Final boss fight left. Pretty much action shooter till the point, not much horror.

Especially liked side missions.

Same here. In ch-18. The most impressive DS game yet. Enemies are varied and so are the environments.
I really liked the environment design. They are diverse and non-repititive which is great for a game of this length.
The story is a bit complex but classy. It has the right dose of science fiction and worthy of the protagonist's name "Issac Clarke" taken from Issac Asimov & Arthur C Clarke - two legendary
science fiction writers.

The weapon upgrade system is the best in the series and gives a lot of flexibility to combat. Boss fights are also great.
Yet to fight the final boss. Too many regenerating necromorphs in this game and you can't kill any. That really adds up the tension factor especially at higher difficulties with scarce ammo & supplies.

This one is a bit difficult than previous games and also very long, spanning across 19 big levels. The side missions are worth it and increase overall length of the main campaign.

Must play game and one of the best to come out this year.

It's not as scary as the first one was. I haven't played DS2.

More oriented towards action than scares. Better play co-op if you can.

And all I heard is bad things about this game that game does not have horror element.

First part was the best. This one wasn't that much scary as compared to first part.

How long was it ?

Pretty long. It took me 4 days clocking 4-5 hrs each day.
Story was great but a bit complicated than DS2. Its better than DS2 especially in story and weapon upgrade system.

Thanks for the feedback. Just installed DS2, actually I left this game in the middle so starting again to get the whole idea about story before jumping in DS3. :)

Few games boast as rich an atmosphere as Dead Space 3. The music and sound design are top-notch as well,Playing in co-op erodes the sense of isolation, but the scares and the persistent sense of dread the series is known for remain intact

Its nothing as scary as DS1. I suggested RE6 because it has 3 campaigns and more VFM.

No need to reply harshly buddy. It always causes more harm than any good. :)

PC Elitist :evil:
I dont own a PS3 but judging by your comment (No fanboy), you are really immature

I guess all are PC gamers here. I could never get anyone in online mode on DS2 PC. Thankfully DS3 PS3 online has many playing the game in co op which is quite fun and less scary as you got your back covered :D

so far I se I can carry only 2 along with the scavanger bot
I have a plasma cutter with scattered array tip
and lower tool is military engine with something that sends shards which ignites the target.
will post a screenshot later. the names are hard to remember.
I also got the negotiator and the evangelizer weapon as ps3 limited addition bonus.

What an awesome game...completed in 19hrs 47 minutes (the longest in the series)

Completion : 93.2% (this is bcoz 6.8% was for Co-Op Missions which I didn't)
Graphics is excellent (Havok physics + Visceral Engine is damn awesome).
Story is truly amazing..there is every thing in this game emotions,love triangle.

The game has prologue which is excellent start & roaming in snow is awesome (in fact the snow detailing is top notch may be better than Lost Planet snow)
Character detailing & sound is mind boggling (lip sync + face expressions are wow)
Monsters are more detailed in this one...happy to see that gory nature is not reduced in this game.
Weapons Crafting is the major element & plus point in this game...which is way too deep (u can craft any type of weapon u want..any..)
I bought Indimidator (damn awesome) & upgraded Plasma Cutter (sweet)...
deploying scavengers (3 in this game) is really helpful to get resources.
only thing is Horror & Tension is NIL in this as compared to DS1 & DS2.
but still gameplay will keep u hooked & u'll never fill bored...puzzles are present in this version with different variety
Isaac has lot of emotional factor when losing the close one in the story...

Last boss fight was too easy ;)
The Wepon Upgrading bench & Suit Kiosk is heavily modified (which is good thing)...and Suits are the best in the whole series (& the best ever I've seen)

My Rating - 9.5/10

It's a must play for all DS fans...& for those who are new to this title.

EA rocks
