Dead Space

[Doormat]

This game is awesome.

 

It is pant pissing scary. Bar none the scariest game I've played yet. Pretty much I'm tense the whole time I'm playing it.

 

It's pretty much the spiritual successor to System Shock 2. More so that Bioshock. The atmosphere is great. Sometimes the techno music of System Shock 2 is a bit trivial, here, the music is eerie and haunting.

 

It has RE4 style aiming. And tons of gore. Like the developers were made to study pictures of car crash victims in order to design the models (according to Wikipedia). The whole game revolves around dismembering. It becomes necessary to mutilate the dead, uninfected bodies of the crew too...

 

The main thing you need to do when you download/purchase this game is to TURN OFF VSYNC IN VIDEO OPTIONS. EA fucked up the PC port by making the mouse slow as hell. Turning off vsync does wonders (I guess my 4000dpi Razer Lachesis does too...).

Once I get a new 360, this game is on my to buy list.

Download it for computer ;) The requirements are really low (but make sure to do the mouse fix mentioned above).

I have a Mac, so playing Dead Space on a computer is not an option, and besides, I prefer console gaming to computer gaming.

This game makes me wish I had a better computer ;)

YES!!! I popped this baby into my PS3 earlier this week and I almost pissed myself. It is so awesome.

 

I really don't think there's a more satisfying feeling than stomping on an alien corpse (and having it grab you because it isn't actually dead).

Exact same here^ Bought it for our dad but I've been playing it more than he has (as I knew I would). I particularly like the rolling limbs that constantly put the fucking shits up you - thinking they're getting back up again. In dire need of bullets like.

They put me in a dark room last night.

 

I was firing blind!!!

Chapter 5 is pretty intense right now.

Just beat it last night (took my time).

 

I hope they make a sequel. Great game.

If I can find it used for a decent price, I might pick it up this weekend, if the girlfriend allows me to. I'm already probably buying a new bass amp, so a video game would be pushing it.

[Crusader]

since system shock was thrown around in here, is there an evil computer in this game too?

 

also can someone explain if there are stats and or how you level them?

[AnOceanPearl]

Are you talking about Dead Space, Anton?

[Doormat]

It's mainly modifying/upgrading weapons.

 

You can also upgrade your health/armour and stasis/kinesis occasionally.

 

Think RE4, if you've played.

Haven't even completed it yet cos our dad's been proper hogging the PS3 playing Fallout 3 (which looks immense), but I'm at level 11 so can't be much longer to go. Great fucking game.

Yeah I can't wait to play this on the harder difficulty mode. I loved Resident Evil 5, but Dead Space can actually be scary.
