I like Horror Games. I like Sci-Fi games.

But this was poo. And it's fans are always like "OMG it was the scariest game of all time and a masterpiece!" and when you ask why they just run away or insult you.

I mean Martian Gothic on the PS1 was a better Sci-fi Horror game and that was bad.

Games like Alien Isolation, Silent Hill 2, Resident Evil 7 etc blow it out of the water.

The bit in Lara's Home where you walk down those eerie emtpy corridors was more creepy than Dead Space and that was unintentional.

It had really good sound design. That plus the setting created a pretty tense atmosphere. That's how I'd describe it - more tense than scary. Still a good game.

It was way more atmospheric than anything else out at the time, mostly due to the sound design.

Also the whole shooting limbs to do more damage was a decent twist for shooters.

You can't talk to reviews.

And most of them just say "OMG it's scay 8/10"

SH2, Alone In The Dark, Clocktower.

Way more atmospheric and came out years, even decades before.

Yeah that's pretty cool.
I also like the "First letter of each level" thing until it got fucking dumb in Dead Space 3.

But that's salad dressing. Ride to Hell Retribution had great Motorcycle customization settings.

All those I listed came out way before and were more atmospheric?

What are you on about?

Condemned, Silent Hill 4 and RE4 were only a couple of years before and way better.

Is your entire argument that 2008 was a terrible year for Horror Games? If so then I agree but that doesn't make Dead Space good.

Well I was asking you what was good about it. But since as usual Dead Space fans can't explain it, then sure.

Has all the creativity given to you by a horror franchise and a sci-fi setting and uses it too....

Make you walk around gray corridors shooting at generic boring "Monsters"

Such monsters never really deviate or grow and are introduced right at the start of the game in direct light chasing you down a corridor making loud stupid noises.

Talk about a pacing masterclass. So much for rising tensions or background stortelling or plot escalation.

In fact thinking about it, there is absolutely no escalation at all, absolutely 0 imagination on display.

Every character is simtuaniously bland as fuck and totally unlikable. With the incredible backstory of "An evil cult wants to destroy everything."

And that scene is fucking stupid

The atmosphere is awful as you slowly march back and forth across the same corrirdors as the same monsters leap out and die with weary predictablity.

It's not creepy or scary or tense.

As a shooter it sucks too because enemies are unvaired and the shooting galleires suck with no freedom.

It was poo.

Silent Hill Homecoming was better and that came out the same year and was only okay

So by "At the time" you do mean "Literally 2008"

In which case it's not true anyway because of Homecoming.

But it's a dumb point because there ware a laundry list of games you could play "At the time" which are way better.

Wut no it doesn't.

How is pointing out it's generic bland characters
Generic gray corridors
Generic music
Generic "Mosnter" design that never deviates or evoles.
terrible cult villains
Lack of monster design
Complete lack of tone, tension, esclation + vareity

Just saying "It's bad because it's bad."

Jesus Christ.
