It was an OK game with very bad things welded onto it and the ending hacked off to be sold as DLC. It was a bad package.
Fwiw, I preferred the second one to the first one, even though it is kind of an Alien vs Aliens choice.
Dead Space 3 being Aliens vs Predator in this analogy.

I started a replay a few months ago and go back to it intermittently. Not sure if they patched it a lot after the megativity surrounding the bots but they really aren't all that at all now. Hear a beep, deploy a bot, get some resources in a bit. My first playthrough years ago barely even used most of the resources. Like any Dead Space game you can get by quite easily with the plasma cutter anyway. Not to mention the fact that the unitologists make up a VERY small part of the game. It's necromorph city.
Not defending it. I know it's reputation and I'm sure was a little deserved at the time. As usual though the internet makes things much worse than they actually are.

On the other side of glass or within a cut-scene, neither will let you interfere with events playing out as scripted, is that really going to be all it takes to ruin the game? A single utterance from Isaac is all that it will take. |

That was what I remember about it. They had all this resource gathering nonsense that threatened to break the flow of the game but someone sabotaged that by making the plasma cutter and rivet gun so OP you never needed any other weapons.

To be fair it's all I used in 1&2 as well. Plasma Cutter with infrequent Ripper. |

It’s a shame because it took away from what was and still is a decent game. I will maintain till the end of time that the first main section above the planet moving between all the wrecked ships is bloody brilliant. |

You kind of have to replay a tepid version of the first game before it dumps you out onto Hoth.

Do you know what? Dead Space 3 is better than the linear actionfest that is Dead Space 2.
Come at me.

Having played through all three original Dead Space games over Christmas I'm wondering if they'll do anything with the weapon lineup or balance for the remake. It would be fun to see some of the elements from the sequels brought over but it may be more trouble than it's worth.
After all these years I finally had to admit the Flamethrower isn't much good, web searches auto-fill as 'Dead Space Flamethrower Useless'. It's an iconic Sci-Fi horror weapon, but maybe that's how it's meant to be. It never did much for the survival prospects of poor Captain Dallas in the ducts of the Nostromo and The Thing wasn't particularly intimidated by MacReady's flamethrower during the fateful blood test where everything goes to Hell.
Flamethrower, if it's good enough for MacReady it's good enough for me. I don't mind if it's still a bit useless in a remake.

I posted this earlier but all guns apart from the plasma gun have had their secondary fire function changed and the Force gun is completely different from the original. I also forgot to mention that like Doom Eternal all enemies have a skinning system so you can strip the skin away with force gun reducing their resistance.

I pre-ordered a physical copy for my Series X mainly because I got it for £50. (It better not be shit!).
Super looking forward to this. It looks very faithful to the original while just making certain tweaks where needed, i.e the guns secondary functions to actually make them useful.
The original game actually had an achievement to complete the game on the hardest difficulty with ONLY the plasma cutter. It was quite an easy achievement as the plasma cutter is easily the best gun in the game.
I also love the Ripper. Such a fun weapon and excellent at crowd control.
Force gun and Flame thorower I never used, seemed mostly pointless. So I am interested in how these play in this new version. Force gun strips the flesh and flame thrower can now create a wall of flames.
Personally, its sequel Dead Space 2 I think is a better game and also one of my fav games of all time. I hope this remake sells really well that they consider remaking that one as well.

I do like my necromorphs wearing very little (skin). Sexy.
I can't even remember the force gun. It's ridiculous how many weapons I've completely ignored across all three games in favour of the plasma cutter and ripper. It's all I've ever needed.

The plasma cutter and ripper are the names he has for his testicles. |

The spike launcher is DS2 was pretty decent. Impale your enemy with a huge spike and then electrocute them with the secondary function. Although I just like the pretty light show to be honest.

Force gun = Sci-Fi Shotgun
Good for crowd control and pushing back mobs, not good for dealing focused damage. Entirely broken in Dead Space 3, Force Gun as secondary fire makes you near untouchable, primary pulse or plasma etc. fire does the usual focused dismembering damage but as soon as they get too close your secondary force gun hit-stuns and pushes them back so you can go back to primary fire.
