Dead Space[Remake]

It's a piece of piss if you use the contact beam, especially it's secondary fire.

It's not that it's difficult, it's just a shit way to try and ramp up difficulty. Also takes the tension and fear away from the enemies.

At least you're using the right thread to be wrong in now...

🙄

Piece of piss is spot on, rinsed it first time. 

Weapon wise did anyone bother with the flamethrower? Think I used it once when you need to after first picking it up and then it was left in storage the rest of the game. Think I did the same in the OG too.

The secondary fire is massively slept on, it creates a wall of fire that slows/stops enemies and crisps them up nicely while doing so. Primary is bobbins as you need to use to strip skin and then use another weapon to sever.

I absolutely despise those slender men, the sound is up there with the Regenerators from Resi 4. Brrr.

I started this a couple of weeks ago and while it's good, I haven't found it scary at all. Not even a little bit. I even started again on hard, which adds a bit of tension but it's just not getting me

Isaac just feels too strong. Cutting off limbs is a cool idea but in practice it's really easy with the plasma cutter, especially as getting rid of the legs slows them right down even before you throw in stasis. The game only really has one trick too - walk into an empty room and wait for monsters to jump out of the vents. It's much more action horror like RE4 than survival. Never felt in danger of running out of ammo or anything like that. Also haven't felt the need to try any other guns apart from the flame thrower for the fatties

Speaking of, the fat ones waddling along and getting stuck in doorways is just funny, as is being chased around a table by a necromorph. I do like the setting and everything but I don't feel excited for it. Haven't played it for a bit (about 2/3 or half way through I reckon). I think it just feels a bit too samey, running through visually very similar areas all the time. I can remember practically every area and encounter of RE4

I was already aware of the twist before I started, which might be affecting my ability to get invested. Probably didn't help that I played it right after my first playthrough of the RE4 remake either

It's the sound that ramps up the tension for me, keeps me on edge throughout.

To be fair I've never found the Dead Space games actually scary. Tense sometimes, and stressful. Not scary though. I find that kind of fear only comes from being defenceless, and you're certainly not that. The only actual scary bits in the franchise I thought were the spooky bits with Nicole in the second one.

The scariest bit of the Dead Space franchise is actually in DS2 when you return to the Ishimura. You literally play for about 10 mins and don't get attacked at all, you are on edge the whole time just waiting for something to happen.

I don't particularly find games scary, but that moment was a little unnerving. 

It's brilliant. Just use Gamepass it's EAPlay, it won't be removed any time soon.

I think the scariest aspect of both Dead Spaces (I don’t count the third) was always the setting itself. The same with Alien Isolation. I find being in decrepit space installations or craft where the environment is as dangerous as the antagonists just inherently unnerving. The Sunshine factor.

Yeah I am really annoyed that it doesn't look like we will get Dead Space 2 Remake. The 1st remake was amazing and a sequel had the potential to eclispse this.

Majorly disappointed here.  I'm just greatful that DS2 and DS3 are available through back-compat on Xbox and still look great and play at 60fps.  I played them all through a couple of years ago and they are still a great experience.
