firstly i was unaware they were babies
If you are referring to the Lurkers, i do not see how that is possible. When you are introduced to them in the first Dead Space, you walk through what can only be describe as a giant test-tube baby room. You can even see them floating inside the containers. It's not hard to put two and two together here. Not only that, but assuming all Necromorphs are humans recombinated by the Marker, what else would they be? People struck with a severe case of dwarfism?
hang on, so not wanting to walk thorugh a nursery shooting babies makes me a weak stomached p*ssy?? really??
I neither called you weak-stomached, nor a "p*ssy". I said you were easily offended. Someone with a strong constitution can still be 'easily offended' when introduced to the right material. If you were religious and saw a bad depiction of whatever deity you worship, you could be offended at that - but still be able to watch copious amounts of gore and horror in a movie.
but surely im not the only one to think: isn't a nursey sacred? babies: sacred? i know they are trying to instill a horror at the grotesque nature of the act (they're suceeding) but... really? a nursery? lullabys in the back ground?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star...
That lullaby plays in the first Dead Space, but that's beside the point, if you haven't played it. It's mainly to further illustrate the point that they
aren't doing anything new with this new installment, beyond the nursery environment itself.
The concept of a 'sacred space' is much debated. Why do you consider it 'sacred'? Why is it 'off-limits'? You aren't shooting defenceless children; they're malicious and they have the intent to kill. It's no longer human. It's alien. The cell structure has been infected with the alien recombinant DNA. They don't look entirely human, either. The backwards head, the black skin, the swollen white stomach. Because they
don't look entirely human, i have no compunction towards shooting them in self defence. If you witnessed an innocent baby be infected and transform into one of the Necromorphs the way you did in the introduction (and any time an Infector creates a new Slasher from a corpse) then i would understand. It's a defenceless child being harmed, and some people would find that too much to bear. But it's not; it's alien life, and the fact it looks bizarre and threatening is designed to drag it deep enough into the uncanny valley that you see it as not entirely human but hostile, but human enough that it unnerves you.
Though i do not get offended by anything, so i am unable to entirely empathise.
