Well, in Dead Space's case, it could be that fact that you get less supplies on higher difficulties, which may have increased the tension, making the game evoke stronger feelings.Kojiro ftt said:I ran through Dead Space on normal and thought it was just okay. But a friend played it on Hard and loved the game. I'm playing Velvet Assassin on Agent difficulty, so maybe that can account for some difference.
Wow, you really thought Violette was pretty? From the neck down, sure, she's totally yowza, but man, I just thought they did horrible things to her face. Really poor skin tone, for example. Well, I thought so, anyway - tastes do vary.Jiki said:Meh, tastes are peculiar things indeed, like for example I thought the lightning and nature environments were absolutely magnificent and Violette herself one of the most beautiful game characters around, though I figure that depends heavily on whether a guy (or a, ee, woman) likes short hair or not.
Gameplay's bollocks tho. The determined reliance on crappily placed checkpoint was the final draw for myself. I'm a Hitman fan myself, so it's no surprise since I went in expecting a bit Hitmannish experience due to seeing Violette in a nazi suit in a load screen, but instead got rigid linear corridors and overall a boring experience. Couldn't really recommend it to anybody.
Also on a side note - dead space is only playable on hard in which is mutates from mediocre shooter into an actually compelling one.
Well, she looked gorgeous in my version. :> Googled her just in case (since I'm the paranoid type who confronts own memory whenever possible) and she didn't look nearly as pretty as she did in the game (with my graphics settingsSusan Arendt said:Wow, you really thought Violette was pretty?

Which version are you playing? I was on the 360 (which I utterly neglected to indicate in the review -- shall fix that right now).Jiki said:Well, she looked gorgeous in my version. :> Googled her just in case (since I'm the paranoid type who confronts own memory whenever possible) and she didn't look nearly as pretty as she did in the game (with my graphics settingsSusan Arendt said:Wow, you really thought Violette was pretty?

The cloths added to the effect though; the default cloths, I mean. Nazi suit didn't evoke any emotions and nightgown was on the opposite, that is - quite unlikeable.
