Yeah, the Dead Space series seem to be going in the same direction as the Resident Evil series. More and more focus on action and co-op. Still, as long as the story is good, then I'm willing to forgive whatever faults the gameplay might have.
*looks at BF3's "campaign"* What do you mean "in the future"? I can't think of anything more redundant and tacked on than a quicktime heavy shithouse single player experience on what is a multiplayer only series.Aircross said:I can only imagine "Solo Only" being called "tacked on single player" in the future where every mainstream game will have some sort of multiplayer.
Do I remember that magic phrase correctly? Was it "Izzy wizzy let's get busy"? Because that is a magic phrase indeed. I'd play a Sooty game as long as I Sue and Sweep were playable characters.Squilookle said:+1 for the Sooty shout out. snip
Indeed. Part of that was there was barely enough supplies for one player, adding a second meant there was less to go round. Plus System Shock was menacing, more that reliant on jump scares and combat.czarevilsam said:I thought that System Shock 2 was still a good horror game that had co-op play
More realistically, the vocal minority makes a big stink about the stagnation, and the rest of the market marches on oblivious.amiran123 said:I do find it somewhat hypocritical when people keep complaining about all the generic shooters but then proceed to buy them and play them.
There's a reason they keep being made!
Yaztee doesn't really view Zero Punctuation as a serious review, more of a bunch of nit-picks and jokes.YodaUnleashed said:-snip-
OuendanCyrus said:The Dead Space games has never been horror but I still enjoy the series, to me, the "scares" in the Dead Space games is just the signal of the start of a battle, I also can't find myself be scared at all, the loud noises resembles that of an exploding building in a modern military shooter.
I like Dead Space 3's crafting system and the attempt of being a bit more open, but I don't like how considerably easy this game is, the game just seems to love throwing medpacks at you, at one point, I had around 20 medium medpacks in my safe that I don't think I ever used.
<youtube=gEJHrmliVQw>Squilookle said:+1 for the Sooty shout out- but we're all still waiting for that Farming Simulator 2013 review you surely have tucked away somewhere. Perhaps it fell down the back of the couch or something. Have you checked the sock drawer?
I think a Silent Hill style game set in space could work very well. Maybe on a moon base or space station. And you're the only human character there. In fact screw Dead Space, let's make this.Reynaert said:I do not follow this game serie but from what I am seeing through previews and reviews, they aren't doing it right. It being 'space horror'.There is definitely something to work with here. What (I think) is scary about space is the enormous vastness and emptiness. Another remark I have, why is the modern, state of the art spaceship so dark? Why not make it brightly lit and neat and tidy like in Moon and 2001:... . There should only be you and your mind (and maybe some sort of AI running things). Of course this would be hard to pull off. Not every development team has a Kubrick or Lynch in there ranks.
EA's said they'd take the series out behind the woodshed if it didn't sell 3m copies.Sylocat said:Oh please, you think they're going to stop making Dead Space games, if the third one sells even remotely well?Yahtzee Croshaw said:Luckily the series ended just as I was running out of sci-fi authors
He gave it an 8/10. The review's over on Destructoid.Aaron Sylvester said:Jim Sterling is a HUGE Dead Space fan isn't he? What did he have to say about this game?
