C-zom 04/03/24 7:54:31 PM #1:	Man, that game sucked. Hamfisted story, tries to capture the "everything goes to hell" from Dead Space 2 and fails remarkably at any tension or stakes. They paid for a ton of hollywood actors to have almost no lines in the game. I know people say it's dead space at home all the time, but man, it really was. But six hours and the credits hit me? Good lord man lol. I feel so, so bad for people who spent $70 on this. Feel for the graphics artists and level designers. I think the game will be talked about in years to come as an unbelievably good looking, truly "next gen" title. The snowy moon, the ~~hidden colony,~~ and the final high-tech chapter looked jawdropping. It's a shame the entire game has like 3 enemy types that attack you one at a time very patiently, amounting to you holding left, then right, then attacking. Forever. Ad nauseam. Like, that's actually all there is to the combat. --- Since only from below can one better see the heights. http://i.imgur.com/OhZgm.jpg <cite>C-zom posted [p:979717294] in I just bea...

BakonBitz 04/03/24 8:11:37 PM #10:	The DLC was mostly a flop too. The only thing that's of any real worth is Riot Mode because they nerf the enemies for a horde mode. Very little unlockables though, you unlock all the perks after like an hour of playing and there's only one skin to unlock. It's fun though. The rest of the DLC is just different difficulty modes that barely change the base game and a 2 hour story DLC that has a shitty ending. The game is impressive-looking though. --- Game collection: http://www.backloggery.com/bakonbitz Gaming channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwVQm69J7bGScbv3_50C0dA <cite>BakonBitz posted [p:979717616] in I just bea...

Zwijn 04/03/24 8:13:27 PM #11:	The game feels at constant odds with itself. How do you make a horror game where the basic movement function is an immortality function?

Already fails from that point completely. Also the prequel podcast is so much better than the so called main product its almost embarrassing. What was the name of the podcast? Because the lore in-game was so brief and rushed that I felt like I had to be missing something in how fast they start talking about the "meat" of the game/mystery. Like, almost immediately after you meet that "bruv" guy you already know what's going on. The biggest sin to me was the warden with his holograms and waxing post-humanism.
