Sorry if this comes off a bit ranty, but I just felt as though I should get this message out.
Dead Space is a triple A franchise that is being published by EA. It is an unfortunate inevitability that sequels should try to up the stakes, sacrificing some of that original brooding horror atmosphere. However, I did not like or play Dead Space 1 or 2 due to the supposed "horror", but rather for the cool sci-fi setting, the solid shooting mechanics, and the grandiose set pieces. Even if Dead Space 3 will have lost some of the horror elements, Visceral has shown that they know how to make a great action game.
Furthermore, at any point during the development of DS3, at around the point where they were rewriting the story and puzzles for it to compatible in both SP and co-op, Visceral could have just said "F*** it. AI partner for SP, because that worked so well in RE5." The fact that two campaigns exist shows a certain determination to please the fans of the original series.
I am not trying to madly defend EA or Visceral, especially when it comes to that microtransaction crap, but people have got to learn that Visceral cannot just make Dead Space 1 over and over.
So please, stop the complaining and have, you know, fun with the game when it comes out?
