Rorschach's Journal. October 12th, 2010: Necromorph carcass in alley this morning, tire tread on burst stomach. This space station is afraid of me. I have seen its true face.
The hallways are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the whores and scientists will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "no."
@Chronixal:
Wow, maybe you really shouldn`t play it then. Seriously though, I play wth headphones, and when a Necro I didn`t know about sneaks up from behind.... Play the game. Still my best experience in this GEN.
Thats not a proper rorscarch(in case it wasn't obvios)
But to make up for that I present you two clowns high fiving.
(p.s by telling you I totally ruined the test, but wth)
I just bought Bioshock, Dead Space, and Mass Effect today as part of Gamestop's buy-two-used-games-get-one-free sale. (Grand total: $39.40. Not bad, if I do say so myself.)
I won't have time to play any of them for a few weeks due to academic stress, but I had no guarantee, when I asked, that Gamestop would be repeating this offer around Christmas. I already played Bioshock and loved what I played of that, so here's to that and the other two games.
@dracosummoner: Excellent choices on all of those. I never sold my copy of Bioshock, loved Dead Space and have been replaying ME in preparation for ME2. Have fun with your new-used games.
You know the really weird thing about the image though? It's not looking through the Grill of Isaac's Mask, it's looking through the Metal view blocking parts....
@Manuel Calavera, Reaper Supreme: Maybe, but I don't think the Cameras were all along those metal bits. Also the shape of the grill kinda suggests to me is is Supposed to be viewed through (there's a couple "holes" about where the eyes should be), suggesting that is where the camera placement would be...
@Cptn.PaxtonAstypalaea(Corsair): They're way too thin, though, and it would make blasting legs off of skittering monstrosities pretty difficult, nevermind fixing complicated machinery on the ship (which is the suit's apparent purpose)
Dead Space is to horror games what Uncharted is to action games in my opinion, taking heavy influences from all of the bests in each genre but making them feel fresh and exciting again, absolutely fantastic.
I wonder if we'll be on another ship, or on a planet base this time, or maybe everything's went to shit and a marker somehow got to Earth creating an alien zombie ridden Earth... So awesome...
I loved the original but it did ever so slightly samey by the end...go here, get trapped, fight monsters...need more variation of monsters! Anyway, can't wait to shit myself again.
I can only hope that Dead Space is longer than the first one, as I beat it in a quick 8 hours. And I'm really hoping for more variations in the enemies, different mutations & creatures and whatnot. Dead Space rocked my socks, but for some reason ... the replayability just wasn't there for me and I parted with the title not too long after buying it on the day of release. I now regret parting with it, and have been considering downloading it as it's $19.99.
@d_r_e:
"And I'm really hoping for more variations in the enemies"
Yup same here.
In 1st one it felt really cheap the way they simply painted "old" models black to create more dangerous xenomorphs at the end of the game.
That didnt work well for me, it just killed some of the immersion.
Otherwise it was a superb survival horror game. Cant wait for DS2.
I just hope that it will stick to it's roots and not going like RE series into arcade mode, or like Silent Hill into well... shit mode.
@Tacticalspoon: lol... I bought the hardback edition of the DeadSpace graphic novel... during the biog section in the beginning of the book there's a typo where it calls the unitologists Scientologists... I bust a nut laughing.
You know, for a game titled "Dead Space", there really was a lot of alive shit coming after me trying to dismember me.
Maybe someone should slap the truth in advertising act on them and force them to recall the game. At least title it "Mostly Dead Space" or "Some of the People are Dead Space but the Things That Kill You are Very Much Alive (or at least re-Animated) Space".

Now we get to see what happened to the REAL Marker! Death to more Necromorphs bitches!!!
I also can't wait to see what weapons they cook up in the next game. Personally I want those plasma blade weapons that they had in the Dead Space movie. Yes, I know the movie sucked for the most part but those cutters kicked ass! They made for great melee weapons when the Necros go in to close.
@tiekmir: I second this! The game REALLY needed some form of melee weapon... stomping was cool, but ineffective against most enemies, and the suspended saw feature of the ripper was nigh on useless most of the time.
