Dead Space[Remake]

Not sure myself. Looks like it copies the data over and then just reads from the disc whenever. I do remember where it crashed and I'm close to it, so will see if it happens again.

Fuck me the final boss is absolutely dreadful. Making you sit through all of that cutscene again and again is unforgivable. Doubt I'll actually complete it now.

Didn't find the last boss that bad tbh. Although I did have a fully upgraded Contact Beam like I did for the OG game and just held the button down which made absolute mincemeat of it.

Yeah, the last chapter was a load of bollocks. Just way too much repetition of moving the thing along the rails in every bloody room. Pacing was nice and brisk for the most part in the rest of the game, but that was one of a couple of places where the game really started to drag for me.

Tbf it was exactly the same in the original and one part I always hated because the game throws the absolute kitchen sink at you which from a plot point I always found weird because the Nexus being actively wants the marker back to make it whole which you're trying to do but it's at odds with the large amount of necromorphs it sends to kill you.

Killed the big fucking minge. The contact beam was pretty much easy mode for it.

Great game all in all. Would definitely like to see 2 given the same treatment.

Just finished Dead Space 3 this evening. Overall I enjoyed it a lot, even if it was the weakest in the series. Much more action focused and less horror.  I'm sure I had completed it before many years ago but I couldn't recall a damn thing about the later half of the game, so I am glad I played it again as it is an essential game in the series for lore.

I liked how it started on a small outpost, before heading into space and exploring ancient ships, and then later landing on the icy planet. Finding out the mysteries of what happened was decent and I enjoyed all the additional lore it throws at you.

Didn't much enjoy some of the enemy encounters at times. They were very predicable and they throw so much at you. I found myself stuck in a corner multiple times with the necromorphs trapping me in. Just didn't have the tools to deal with so many at once, it was quite cheap. The previous games added tension and suspense, this one just said "fuck it", and room after room is just full of encounters.  I played it on normal difficulty and I am glad I didn't choose hard for this one, I think I would of been frustrated at times.

Game is still quite the looker too.  On Series X with auto HDR and FPS boost, it impressed.

Just have the Awakened dlc to do and then that wraps up my DS trilogy playthrough. I don't think I have ever played the dlc so looking forward to that.

FPS, shinies not that obvious.

They definitely move faster than I remember! And it's been long enough where I don't really remember much so feels fresh.

Sound is still the scariest part of the game.

Dead Space R is much more 1:1 (with a few very different sections) while RE4R is (ha ha, “rear”) is I think extremely different with a few 1:1 sections.

Is it worth doing the side stuff? Got a side quest to get some rigs but can't be arsed doing a collectacthon if the rewards aren't worth it.

Burning flesh thing seems worth it, have similar on the plasma cutter that makes light work of them.

The final 2 chapters are a lot more of a slog to get through this time with the waves of enemies. It's not hard to deal with them, it's just such a shit mechanic. Especially when the rest of the game is pretty much perfect with what they throw at you.

Waves and waves don't really suit the combat either, and just forces you to obliterate everything with the contact beam which is the least fun weapon to use. It does absolutely shred everything apart though.

It's annoying as they had a chance to alter the last 2 chapters a bit knowing they were criticised the first time around.
