I'm so glad Yahtzee agrees with me completely when it comes to Dead Space. Now I can rub TWO video's in the face of everyone who calls Dead Space 'super f-in scary bro'.

That is a very good thing.
Why? He?s said several times that his viewers should come up with their own pros and cons since after all, these reviews are just his opinion.
If you do use his reviews to prove your argument, then you?re an idiot
Not to prove a point, that isn't the same as 'rubbing in face'

It's just something to link someone to when you're not feeling like typing more than 2 sentences, get off your high horse man
I?m not on a high horse. I just don?t see how you?re rubbing anything in people?s faces by using his reviews. If someone finds Dead Space scary then no comedian is going to change that.
Again, it's not about changing someone's opinion. It's more like 'ha ha if you think that you should watch this'. Since it will conflict with their opinion on the game the reaction should be interesting.

Moments like

When you see Nicole try to stab you with a syringe, and realize your insanity almost caused you to commit suicide

or

When the crazy guy (forget his name) comes out of the door with a screwdriver while you are hacking the door (the ONE time in the game you thought you were safe (after killing the enemies in the room of course))

or

When the gunship shows up and you go right from trying to escape the gunship to trying to escape a giant necromorph to tumbling through space
In other words you like getting shocked. Except for that last one which was just scripted gameplay. Now don't get me wrong scripted gameplay can be fun but it doesn't really matter too much in the overall game, since it lasted like 20 seconds, actually all the stuff you talked about lasts between 5-20 sec and it was all pretty much clips/video.

To anyone thinking about bying this game, please don't the game was awful and if you fall into the same trap as i which is, "man this game is easily just as great as the first one", then game studios might think that we want this kinda crap. Also anyone who is saying that it was a good game is either lying or an idiot.
I think it was much better than the original, everything across the board is improved.

And the scripted events are important, it doesn't really matter that they don't last long, because they give you something to REMEMBER, something to look back on and go "that was FUCKING AWESOME!" their impact lasts long beyond their actual duration.

Everyone says "it's shocking" or "it's just jump-scares" as if that's a bad thing. So what? It's fun as shit.

ITS WORKING GO GO GO GO.

Quite frankly I've manged to find a video walktrhough on youtube of Dead space 2 so... i can say that if you like being scared, and scared in this case being "OMG MONSTER GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO" not "What was... Just a door, WAIT. Something is there. I CAN HEAR IT." kind of scary, then Dead Space 2 would be pretty fun.

Course what Yahtzee says ultimately doesnt matter. If you like Dead Space 2 nothing will change after watching this. If you're on the fence, go on youtube watch some videos. See if the gameplay and story is what you are looking for.

Dont understand all this "Omg Yahtzee is teh meanzors." sentiment. He's caustic to everything.

(dyslexic so no petty spelling remarks)

the pros of dead space 2

1) isaac now talks which makes sense as we are supposed to feel sorry for him

2)there is no stupidly big bosses to contend with like the hive mind,

3)that beginning scene where isaac sees nicole climb on the table i thought was genius

4)the dog necromorphs made me jump a bit

cons

1) having babies be necromorphs seems dark but they don't pull it off, its like in equilibrium when the dogs get shot you actually feel sorry for the dogs because they start yelping, if dead space had babies crying in the background that would have been dark (this is meant to be a horror game)

2) I want a monster like Nemesis from RE3 a monster that you meet in the first hour but constantly stalks you it should be slow but indestructible

3) how the fuck can my bare foot chop up bodies

4)some nice flashbacks of nicole would have been nice to actually make us like the character

5) how about we only get the kick ass guns during the boss fights and maybe only for the boss fights

6)I really wanted this to be the final chapter the fact that there is at least a dozen of these markers makes me think that dead space will be running as long as resident evil, three is your limit

7 why not some juxtaposition i mean i liked how in dead space you'd occasionally man a turret i would have loved to play as one of them underwater salvage vessels (obviously in space) with the arms for mending\fighting and wrestling big necromorphs using cutting lasers, i know it would be an aliens rip but i doubt the kids would know

8 remove the plasma cutter it is too effective, it doesn't make the game scary it is suitable in any situation if it isnt simply use stasis and now it is.

9 how about not making the vents stick out like a sore thumb, and try to make the game feel unscripted if a monster has just dragged a guy into a vent why isn't he coming after me, he's clearly killed the guy and knows he ain't going anywhere so why isn't it now chasing me.

10 gore does not mean scary, scary things have to be threatening. the juggernauts in modern warfare 2 are scary theres no way i do that high explosive mission without camping atop them stairs, how about you add in parts where it is nescessary I run and hide


here's what would have made a good bit, using a child in an audio log as either a reference or a character, it would be scary to hear a psych report of someone who tried/did murder his kids

I never listen to what Yahtzee says, I just laugh at what he says. If I ever listened to him I would never buy another video game in my life because apparently they are all tripe!

Yahtzee is entertaining, but in the way you find Fox news entertaining, but when you want real news then you go and watch CNN or BBC. In the same way I listen to IGN or my local gaming mag.

Yeah, won't work for me either. It's not just this video, all the videos I've tried seem to be broken right now.

Edit: I've reported the bug, so hopefully they'll fix it soon. :)
