@ matthew simmons

If you honestly think that Dead Space is one of the greatest horror games of all time then I feel sorry for you. Eternal Darkness, ANY Resident Evil game, ANY Alone in the Dark game see these games all have one thing that makes them better then Dead Space…they’re imaginative! Dead Space was repetitive, the atmosphere was hardly scary/tense/edge-of-your-seat, they reused almost every goddamn sci-fi cliche ever, alot of the story elements didn’t make sense and as Liam pointed out the whole thing was predictable to the point where 10 minutes in you knew how it was all going to end. Art isn’t all a matter of opinion, their is such a thing as a making a poor artistic decision…and alot were made with this game. Also their wouldn’t be animals on the ship moron because it’s a company owned mining vessel…you think they’d let people bring their pets on a goddamn submarine or oil rig? Of course you don’t really KNOW all of these things because we’re all making assumptions based on a fake reality, including you Matthew, but some things you just have to base on common sense within the reality and alot of things on that ship didn’t make sense/stay true to the reality which it was set (see my first post). See all you’ve done Matthew is state that you’re right and everyone else is wrong with insults to back up your claims…bad form dude. Now lets move onto YOU cause I’ll bet you’re a goddamn talentless n00b that couldn’t beat Xaero on Nightmare to save your life. I’ll bet you only play games like Dead Space cause when you go online to play competitive games with the big boys you get your arse handed to you in a million pieces! If you honestly think that Dead Space is “one of the greatest horror games ever made” then you really are a n00b and your opinion means nothing. Go play some Solitaire n00b!

This is for Jebus(your mom gave you that name?), Adrian(I’m guessing you’re a male, right?), and Brady. You guys sound a little tight assed and closed minded. I say it’s a bad ass fucking game. Yeah, there’s some shit that don’t make sense, but you guys(or gals)are cancelling out the possibilities. Brady, take a breather, you have some valid points, however I think the story was good. It made it’s point for the whole structure of the game, you must watch horror movies and play games to where you’re not getting laid, huh? Adrian, I’m gonna step up to your level, which is dork level. I think if they made a ship that size that is big enough to manage agriculture, then how can it not have insects like yourself? I just wanna know where all the fucking pets went? The colony and the ship should have dog and cat Necromorphs running around, right? But look into reality, PETA might tear up in their “GINAS” if EA made that happen, not to mention they took a bold step with the infants. But that’s America, where animal cruelty is wrong(Just ask Vick) and abortion is a fucking right. What I’m saying is they probably had a fuckload of ideas they wanted to embark on, but couldn’t, and so you only have an akward amount of possibilty. You know, like your date nights, Adrian. And as for the boy named after his fucking JimBob parents, Jebus. Son, you need a better computer it sounds like, here you are blaming EA for YOUR shitty ass computer. How’s about gittin a that there job, Jebus? Den maybe I reckon yous gits a better software thingamajig? Sound Peachy there, bubba? Awright, then.

To end this off, I know it’s been months since a new comment has come around, but I just happen to be browsing and found this site with all your stupid little comments in it, ripping apart what is one of the greatest horror games ever made, putting your ever dissappointing Resident Evil series down on it’s sore, faggot ass. (anybody in here thats apart of GLAD, sorry for saying faggot. And when I mean anybody, I mean Adrian.)

Seriously, do you guys just sit on your zit infested asses and knock off good games all the time? I’m guessing yes,so if you manginas wanna burn a game title that deserves to be ripped on, please do it to that Bitchmade game, HALO. Other than that, you have no right to exist, you should have been swallowed.

PEACE!

Why are there flies on the dead bodies? Did flies evolve into space-flies when humans went into space?

Very intriguing.

To clarify above, the “my document” folder creates a problem where I cannot save my game.

The serious flaw in this game is that it was coded terribly. I can’t play it on my computer because I decided to have my “my documents” folder as the root of a drive (A really easy setting change in windows). I can’t have vsync on, or I get terrible mouse lag, so instead I but up with terrible screen breaking. Still no patches. Fuck you EA.

Yeah the story is pretty meh and though I did complete it I got to a point where I just wanted it to end. The game is pretty much:

1) Be told to find an item to fix the ship
2) find item
3) fix ship
4) some random event breaks ship again
5) rinse and repeat for 10+ hours. Boring.

I figured out the ending about 10 minutes into the game.

Also the fact you can finish the game with just the cutter is stupid; there is even an achievement for it. It’s basically a reward for being boring, it’s not actually any harder, the cutter is just as strong as all the other guns. Also the secondary fire for the rifle is utterly useless.

Some good points:

Looks good and runs fantasic on PC. One of the fastest loading games I have played in a long time.

Good atmosphere, even if they just took Event Horizon and put less imaginative versions of the Suffering’s enemies in it. Speaking of which the Suffering is a much better action horror game.

Controls are good, and it’s easy to ignore the Resident Evilishness about them (your guy controls like a tank) because he’s in a heavy space suit of course he’s not going to be agile. Overall I enjoyed it to a degree but found it pretty generic, if it wasn’t for the creepiness of empty space ships this game would be nothing.

Score: 75%

Here goes…
*Inhale*
1) Why are dead babies carrying items?
2) Why are their SO MANY dead babies on the ship? Did they have loads of orgies?
3)Why can I buy weapons on a mining vessel?
4)Why are upgrade tables haphazardly located around the ship? Did their shit break down that often?
5)Why do I have to buy upgrades to my suit? Seems kinda cheap that a mining company makes its workers buy better protective gear.
6) Why is one of the main turrets ONLY accessible via a space walk? Kinda shitty ship design.
7) Speaking of ship design, why are important parts I need for certain systems so far away from where they need to be used? Who organised their supplies a fucking retard?
*Inhale again*
I’ve got more, but that seems sufficient. EA Redwood, learn to write a story, but the gameplay elements were fun.
