He can buy stuff like that because he finds the master schematics. Once he has them he gets clearance to those items. The only ammo you have at the beginning is for the plasma cutter , which is a multi purpose tool.
@SpoonyOne Well my theory on the tools and what not is this. The Ishimura (The Ship the game takes place) is a mining ship and has engineers on board. Perhaps the store is for the engineers and restricted to the rest. I could be wrong but I don't know.
Dead Space...it took me almost a year to get through it because it scared me that badly. I never played Doom 3, Resident Evil 4 nor System Shock, so I can't agree to anything though I can say that the concept for the game is fairly overused and sometimes jump scares are an issue but that's what made it successful. The chase sequence with that regenerating necromorph made me panic like crazy.
@buzzardkiller92 I agree completely. I haven't played either but it scared the shit out of me. I loved it though but I can't pass judgment on anything.
@alexgorman13 And I'm not passing judgement on anything either, but I do see where Spoony is coming from. Resident Evil 4 did bring something to the table to make the genre spark a bit more then most of the other survival horror games in it's time. But I died out of the Resident Evil games after 3, it just wasn't my thing anymore.
@balsto652 Isaac is a freaking Engineer. He is NOT a Soldier, NOR a Space Marine. The Plasma Cutter is a MINING tool.
For the last time, you people need to stop and listen to the actual storyline - read some of the official comics, read the logs. Isaac isn't, did not become (in Dead Space 2) and has never been a trained "Space Marine", military operative or Soldier of any kind.
Geez. Sorry to lash out on you dude, but it gets tiring as fuck.
@RebornAleph yes but think about it becas he is an engineer he has special acsess to all the stuff like before he got there they gave him all acses to the stores he probably suspected this tough i dont think so
re4 and dead space are both great games. dead space wouldn't even EXIST without re4 , as well as other games wit O-T-S shooting. re4 revolutionized , dead space expanded....... and re5 is ugh, rather play re2 or code veronica
Nitpicking about the store man. Many video games have these sorts of elements. It's part of the video game culture and its strange to complain about it
he talks about buying food from a store in system shock to restore health as if it were normal compared to buying a health pack from dead space, okay yea food might be more realistic in a vending machine but i dont think a bag of Doritos is going to help heal a laceration as well as a medic kit.
spooner has good points but he also bitches/nitpicks too much. such is the life of an internet reviewer. i honestly cant blame him.
so its actually your contention that RE4 WASN'T a good game? Wow, even if it didn't live up to your horror-genre standards, its still quite a decent experience if not necessarily ground-breaking outside of its own series' essential gameplay paradigm. I doubt people in general would still want to be stuck in the ps1 era of isometric tank-control survival horror. And for niche gamers and purists who view any survival horror exegesis away from the earlier style there's always indie developers.
To the people down below. Get Resident Evil 4 out of your ass. Dead Space is nothing like that shitty game Resident Evil 4 you fucking idiots. Go play the original Resident Evil games then will talk. Because the 4th and 5th one are the worse. And maybe if you guys paid close attention to Dead Space you'll realize it is story driven. Fuck you RE4 fanboys!!!!!!
I know this is like 3 years old, but the reason you can buy that stuff in the store is because of your engineer ID. I imagine your average civilian would not be able to buy such merchandise.
R.E.M. and Beck. It would be fun listening to their music while playing Dead Space. Some parts of that game remind me of Space Quest 2. What Spoonman said about buying stuff from stores on a space station (especially flamable fuel in that environment) is exactly what I asked myself when playing it. Buying guns and stuff from vending machines in Borderlands and Bioshock makes sense because of the nature of their respective worlds (i.e.: not on a space station).
*calling this out now, I have ds2. I dont own ds1 but I know the story of it*
a question within an answer: you need to find schimatics to get certain items in the store like the flame thrower. so would that mean every single person would have some sort of online account like ebay?
RE4 in Space lol that is a bunch of crap. Listen I have been playing RE since PS1. After playing RE4 I said "that's it RE is dead". What Dead Space has done for me was, it gave back that scare factor I have been missing for a long time. Where as RE4 took that away from me. On the plus side you can move, aim and shoot as the same time. I understand that RE4 was revolutionary at the time. But what the fans forgot was that it wasn't RE anymore. Dead Space all the way baby!
hahah true, new games have such small little texts..why the fuck is that?? i remember james talking about it while playing street fighter 4, i also couldn't fucking read shit in MGS4, kinda makes me feel like i'm getting old
Never played all the way through Resident Evil 4, but it seemed very good, and the new over-the-shoulder-system was very good at the time. As you rightly point out, Dead Space employs the same vantage point, as it feels restricted and claustrophobic and amplifies the fear element.
I genuinely found Dead Space to be quite jumpy and unnerving, but for the fear factor to be best effective, you ought to play it loud on a 5.1 digital system as the in game sounds is what really creeps you out.
I just discovered this channel thanks to Kickassia (which was fortunately mentioned in a recent Angry Joe inter-review vlog) and am really glad about that. I think this may actually be the first time I can just sink into listening to some pure ,,ranting" about something. Dunno, but you do seem to have some magnetic personality.
I guess Resident Evil 4 IN SPAAAAACE! is fair except for one thing: The controls suck A LOT less. you can move while shooting, you can change weapons much better, you can strafe (GOD FORBID STRAFING!) and the story is decent. I give it an 8 out of 10 personally
I agree with you with the text size thing, I rarely play dead rising because it suffers from the same thing and I also don't have and hd tv, I mean I understand if you going for a minimalist feel, but if the text is the size of a flea, who in the hell are we supposed to get info or clues pertaining to the story
The only real problem I had with this game was, why are the engineers better soldiers than the security forces? I'm talking about Isaac AND Jacob temple.
Ok jacob doesn't make it, but he survives longer than any sec officer.
Well Issac is part of an engineering company and they use some of these tools to fix things or an infection go's down they might have to defend themselves but the CEC let's anybody as an engineer or marine can take objects like the plasma cutter but you need schematics to unlock things in the shop so that is how they get the weapons
@ThePimperial First of all, you should see a couple of the puzzle stages on Dead Space 2, second, the control is much more fluid than the first game, allowing kinesis to be smoother and stasis to actually recharge, and third, I love sequels that are extremely complex and have a deep story line and multiple tie-ins from the first game.
@ThePimperial you are a complete moron, first of all, this is not a brainless copy, it is a refined version of the first game, second, do you get hallucinations that scare the crap out of you in System shock, and third, THERE ARE PUZZLES, DUMBSHIT
Basically all the weapons in Dead Space are power tools.The Plasma Cutter is a tissue laser, the Line Gun is a mining tool, as the same with the contact beam.I dont know what the fuck a flamethrower has to do with power tools, but apparently something because the only real gun is the Plasma Rifle.
Isaac Clarke is an enginner, the flamethrower is like one of those ''engennering weapons'' It's used to some engennering function on the setting of the game
the store is just a way for the player to buy new items
you know maybe flame throwers are just popular among scientists. they had like five in the thing so maybe that is why there are flame throwers for sale.
If you used a flamethrower in a space station, wouldn't it cause, like, unforseen consequences or something? It wouldn't be like Lily C.A.T. (when they were using rigged flamethrowers). It would be more like Event Horizon.
About the "Flamethrower" fuel, IT'S NOT A FLAMETHROWER! Everything you use are mining and repair tools, the Pusle Rifle being the only real "weapon". As for ripper ammo, why would he have it on him, he didn't have those on him at the start, they expected a few repairs to their comms and such, and your right the data logs explain all of this.
It's an OPINION people... Lord forbid his opinion is different for your own, shock-horror, it's the end-of-the-world... I personally thought the game was very atmospheric and well-done (although the camera angles were a bit weird) - am I pissed off that he criticised something I like? Well, if I was, I'd stay away from reviews altogether - NO ONE'S GONNA HAVE THE SAME OPINION AS YOU! He brought up some good points, too - text in games really IS ridiculously small!
@jerrytheham72 You aren't gona convince the whiners that way. I've heard that kind of argument thousands times. Probably these people are feeling insecure and not being confident about their own opinion. Otherwise why would they care about his review? His convincing words must be the cause of their insecure feeling because it contradicts with their views on their favorite games (they don't have a good counter argument).
Oh, and Spoony, I know I'm an ass for double posting, but the "weapons" you find aren't weapons. They're tools. Tools that WORKERS used while on the Ishimura. A miner walks by and says: "Damn, I'm a little low on cutter ammo, I need some more." He walks over to a store and buys some. Let me use a real life example. A nail gun is a tool, but it can be used as a weapon. A sautering iron is a tool, but it can be used as a weapon. Hope this answers your question.
to the Flame thrower question. This game is a mixture of resident evil 4, doom 3, those shock games he was talking about, and last but not least John Carpenters: The Thing. there are many simillar qualities to this game that share the same qualities as the thing except the organism is called Necromorphs (which is a pretty bad ass name for this game) What im trying to say is that fire is a really gooa way to kill these things. Also with the store no one expected this when they got the destress.
Probably already said before, but in System Shock 2, you can buy ammo from the same vending machines you buy chips from. Hell, you can buy grenades with your chips.
dead space was amazing for me. the graphics, lighting and environments were some of the best for any multiplatform game, but the sound design truly shined. holy crap the sound design was amazing, especially in the vacuum sections of the game. i loved the story, though it doesnt get great until toward the end
Question 1: It's not really a "flamethrower." Believe it or not, most of the games weapons are just mining tools. The plasma cutter was used to cut through diamond. The force gun was used to pummel through rock. And the flamethrower was supposed to melt ice from comets to get the minerals inside. Whou would spend money on it? You're forgetting that the U.S.G. Ishimura had a HUGE colony of people on it, so they needed tools to do their work.
Well the weapons on the game are tools that the crew used SpoonyOne. The reason why they put that in a store... I have no idea. Even in a abandoned, dead space ship, there really shouldn't even be some kind of economy system in the game. I mean come on! Do I really need to buy tools in a space ship that required the space crew to use and should be free any way? What is that, I mean, I feel bad for the crew that had to pay for the tools they needed to get something done! Sorry if I went overboard
Honestly, I don't even understand the purpose of this review. There are basically two gripes: Stores and weapon types. First of all, with stores he even admits that theres no real reason for his complaint.... so why have it? Would you rather rely completely on random drops from creatures? If that were the case, what would space zombies be doing walking around with money and different types of ammo? Answer: Because its a game! Suspend your disbelief.
isaccs a engineer for the usg kellion not a marine and he acidently ended up on the usg ishimura dead space is one of the greates horror games of all time deuce
Doom 3, Bioshock, and Splinter Cell-series - Thats what Dead Space is built on. I enjoyed the game pretty much that i think im gonna go for the achievements to beat the game only using the plasma cutter. Its kind of a goal that i expose myself for. Its kinda great actually. otherwise you'll be like: nah, i cant take it. *quits*
@donne3434 i understand doom and bioshock (even tho its more like systemshock) but whats the thing aabout splinter cell its not a stealth game but its a third person shooter like any game
In dead space u don't start with any weapons u find ur first wepon the plasma cutter which isn't meant for fighting it's for mining which is why there's ammo on a mining ship and the other wepons are schimatics u find on ur quest to kill them all
The stores would list items that were appropriate to the person using it. Most of the weapons in the game are engineering tools. The rifle is something I can't explain though.
ohhh tell me about it man. unclear text is a major proplem in a lot of ps3 games. i dont have an HD tv damn it its to fucking expensive but i can never read text with out gluing my eyes to the goddamn screen. ifeel ya man
I'm with you, man. I don't have an HDTV either, and the text is too fucking small. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go figure out how to make fire.
I totally agree with you at 6:40. I have no idea why fonts have to be so illegible! Even on HD tv's, I have a hard time reading. It's something I'd really like to see change in the industry.
this game has almost nothing in common with resident evil 4 except for the controls. Saying that is like kicking the developers in the balls and spitting in their face "P This game WAS MADE to honor sci fi horror movies not a crappy resident evil game :(
lol the space guys name is issac and hes an engineer vlunteered to repair the ishimura (the ship) because his girlfriend (i think) is on it. P.S: i dnt even play this game that much
I love your videos but you nitpick on a few things I don't agree with games are suppose to suspend belief not embraced it to the point of reality otherwise why bother playing?
True, it originally was supposed to only dispense materials to help the crew mine and fix and blahblahblah stuff like that, but after the Necromorphs attacked, the Captain, (you gotta watch the animated movie for this one) could have authorized dispensing lethal materials. I mean, that's why they have military doods on the ship on the first place, right?
the stores could of sold normal things but after the nercromorphs start to attack the store could of sold weps and ammo and most of those things were for mining like the line gun and there were guards so they still do need ammo
you have to remember that your weapons are mining tools etc. If i remember correctly its a research ship and maybe there are some miners on the ship to help research. So maybe they might have to pay for there equipment sometimes. It might be a little crazy to have this stuff in the store. But the ship is kinda like a city or walmart it has everything.
WTF My comments got spammed. Probably by a whole bunch of Spoony fanboys. Let's get something straight: I DO NOT HATE SPOONY. I hate his Vlogs due to the Bullshit realism questions. I love his trademark reviews where he actually attempts entertainment. Geez I hate Youtube's spam/ thumbs down system. It is purely based on if somebody likes somebody else's OPINION.
ive played dead space and i thought it was a really great game. u were saying why cant u find ammo on the ground and stuff but u can!!not neccessarily on the ground but u dont have to go to the store all the time.
@TomMSTie XP is more user-friendly than W7. W7, just like Vista, tries to make too many decisions for the user, making its interface confusing and counter-intuitive. They should have simply improved upon XP instead of "revamping" everything. Movie Maker, for example, absolutely sucks in W7. You can't adjust the volume of sound files above its default! The problem with that is that sound files don't have standardized default volumes.
I agree with you on the real time menue thing, I loved that part about Dead Space, and in any game where you don't have to leave the action tto select a different weapon or use an item, great review dude.
GOOD LORD! Just because a game is dubbed survival horror and has an over the shoulder view automically makes it a rip off of Resident Evil 4? I would like to point out that RE4 is NOT the first game to use that camera angle. Plus Dead Space has many different features like moving w/shooting, Gravity puzzles and Kinesis. Plus All Spoony did in this "review" was ask why certain weapons were there.
I agree that there are a few similarities to RE4. Since RE4 was a big success, the same setup can still work. Dead Space didn't make the mistake of having you stand still to do things which means they can bump up the speed of enemies. Plus real time actions keep you from going to the store to restock on ammo while 10 enemies are supposed to be attacking you. About the store, maybe parts of the ship needed certain weapons and it really wouldn't surprise me if the crew had to buy most things there
Love your vids, but I can't see any similarities to RE4 other than the camera...and...the....uh...nothing...Any obvious similarities (like health packs) are either coincidental in the fact that it's a GAME, and the fact that it's survival horror (Low ammo stock). However, you nitpick way too much. The weapons are somewhat out of place, but why is there a merchant in RE4 who has like infinite ammo, weapons, grenades, rocket launchers, and giant ass suit cases STORED IN HIS ASS!!!
why does everyone think dead space is resident evvil 4 in space. o and spoony, big fucking couinsidance that dead space has almost the same botton setup a resident evil 4. BIG FUCKING DEAL. THIS GAME IS NOT RESIDENT EVIL 4 IN SPACE. OH AND TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, ITS A FUCKING GAME YOU FUCKING RETARED. GOD YOUR SO FUCKING DUMB. GO SUCK A COCK YOU ASSHOLE!
NO NO dead space does not copy that gameplay of resident evil 4 or 5 its gameplay copy off of cold fear because the gameplay is more alike for the fact that you move around as you aim
Actually, his questions make a lot of sense: flamethrowers on a spaceship? The flames would combust the oxygen in the atmosphere. Granted, the air we breathe is not 100% oxygen, but it is still a bad idea. Also, if the air on the ship was 100% oxygen, everything in it made of metal would corrode very quickly... not to mention the explosions...
Good logic but remember, this is a work of fiction. Just the fact that there are massive spaceships and unreal creatures is ridiculous. The idea of usable stores on monster infested ships is just as illogical as lightsabers, demons rising from the depths of hell and just about every other piece of fiction ever written, books, games, films n' all. Besides, they need those work arounds to not be too restrictive, that's where the "Fiction" aspect comes in. We can nitpik everything thats fictional.
@metalmosh6 Aye, true. One can easily overlook all of these, especially in the middle of the action.
Though small details can always bother people (oddly enough). The larger elements can sometimes go completely unnoticed due to how much they offer in the immersion, it then comes to the smaller details to hold this veil over your head.
It has two choices then. 1: Attempt to be as realistic as possible, which is this game's direction or 2: Be as absurb as you want, which as a whole, will work.
@HotaruZoku Your chemistry is lacking. "Hydrogen" cannot actually combust on its own without oxygen; you can supply the oxygen (like a rocket), but even then you are just making a blow torch. Dead Space clearly shows flames being produced that spread and linger, which eats the surrounding atmospheric oxygen.
Well, it's not really a flamethrower, it's a hydrogen torch. You know those ltittle torches you use when sautering things? Imagine that, just bigger. The torches were used to melt the ice around comets so you can get the minerals inside.
@SpoonyOne the ship was a military vessal.

The only real problem I had with this game was, why are the engineers better soldiers than the security forces? I'm talking about Isaac AND Jacob temple.
Ok jacob doesn't make it, but he survives longer than any sec officer.

Well Issac is part of an engineering company and they use some of these tools to fix things or an infection go's down they might have to defend themselves but the CEC let's anybody as an engineer or marine can take objects like the plasma cutter but you need schematics to unlock things in the shop so that is how they get the weapons

@ThePimperial First of all, you should see a couple of the puzzle stages on Dead Space 2, second, the control is much more fluid than the first game, allowing kinesis to be smoother and stasis to actually recharge, and third, I love sequels that are extremely complex and have a deep story line and multiple tie-ins from the first game.

Basically all the weapons in Dead Space are power tools.The Plasma Cutter is a tissue laser, the Line Gun is a mining tool, as the same with the contact beam.I dont know what the fuck a flamethrower has to do with power tools, but apparently something because the only real gun is the Plasma Rifle.

If you used a flamethrower in a space station, wouldn't it cause, like, unforseen consequences or something? It wouldn't be like Lily C.A.T. (when they were using rigged flamethrowers). It would be more like Event Horizon.

About the "Flamethrower" fuel, IT'S NOT A FLAMETHROWER! Everything you use are mining and repair tools, the Pusle Rifle being the only real "weapon". As for ripper ammo, why would he have it on him, he didn't have those on him at the start, they expected a few repairs to their comms and such, and your right the data logs explain all of this.

Oh, and Spoony, I know I'm an ass for double posting, but the "weapons" you find aren't weapons. They're tools. Tools that WORKERS used while on the Ishimura. A miner walks by and says: "Damn, I'm a little low on cutter ammo, I need some more." He walks over to a store and buys some. Let me use a real life example. A nail gun is a tool, but it can be used as a weapon. A sautering iron is a tool, but it can be used as a weapon. Hope this answers your question.

to the Flame thrower question. This game is a mixture of resident evil 4, doom 3, those shock games he was talking about, and last but not least John Carpenters: The Thing. there are many simillar qualities to this game that share the same qualities as the thing except the organism is called Necromorphs (which is a pretty bad ass name for this game) What im trying to say is that fire is a really gooa way to kill these things. Also with the store no one expected this when they got the destress.

Question 1: It's not really a "flamethrower." Believe it or not, most of the games weapons are just mining tools. The plasma cutter was used to cut through diamond. The force gun was used to pummel through rock. And the flamethrower was supposed to melt ice from comets to get the minerals inside. Whou would spend money on it? You're forgetting that the U.S.G. Ishimura had a HUGE colony of people on it, so they needed tools to do their work.
grenadeer09 1 year ago 2
Well the weapons on the game are tools that the crew used SpoonyOne. The reason why they put that in a store... I have no idea. Even in a abandoned, dead space ship, there really shouldn't even be some kind of economy system in the game. I mean come on! Do I really need to buy tools in a space ship that required the space crew to use and should be free any way? What is that, I mean, I feel bad for the crew that had to pay for the tools they needed to get something done! Sorry if I went overboard

First of all, with stores he even admits that theres no real reason for his complaint.... so why have it? Would you rather rely completely on random drops from creatures? If that were the case, what would space zombies be doing walking around with money and different types of ammo? Answer: Because its a game! Suspend your disbelief.

A possible answer to the odd stuff in the store.
True, it originally was supposed to only dispense materials to help the crew mine and fix and blahblahblah stuff like that, but after the Necromorphs attacked, the Captain, (you gotta watch the animated movie for this one) could have authorized dispensing lethal materials. I mean, that's why they have military doods on the ship on the first place, right?
TheLocalDJ 1 year ago
the stores could of sold normal things but after the nercromorphs start to attack the store could of sold weps and ammo and most of those things were for mining like the line gun and there were guards so they still do need ammo
croy10067 1 year ago
you have to remember that your weapons are mining tools etc. If i remember correctly its a research ship and maybe there are some miners on the ship to help research. So maybe they might have to pay for there equipment sometimes. It might be a little crazy to have this stuff in the store. But the ship is kinda like a city or walmart it has everything.

@TomMSTie XP is more user-friendly than W7. W7, just like Vista, tries to make too many decisions for the user, making its interface confusing and counter-intuitive. They should have simply improved upon XP instead of "revamping" everything. Movie Maker, for example, absolutely sucks in W7. You can't adjust the volume of sound files above its default! The problem with that is that sound files don't have standardized default volumes.

GOOD LORD! Just because a game is dubbed survival horror and has an over the shoulder view automically makes it a rip off of Resident Evil 4? I would like to point out that RE4 is NOT the first game to use that camera angle. Plus Dead Space has many different features like moving w/shooting, Gravity puzzles and Kinesis. Plus All Spoony did in this "review" was ask why certain weapons were there.
RE4 in Space my ass.
l33tstuff1 2 years ago
I agree that there are a few similarities to RE4. Since RE4 was a big success, the same setup can still work. Dead Space didn't make the mistake of having you stand still to do things which means they can bump up the speed of enemies. Plus real time actions keep you from going to the store to restock on ammo while 10 enemies are supposed to be attacking you. About the store, maybe parts of the ship needed certain weapons and it really wouldn't surprise me if the crew had to buy most things there

Love your vids, but I can't see any similarities to RE4 other than the camera...and...the....uh...nothing...Any obvious similarities (like health packs) are either coincidental in the fact that it's a GAME, and the fact that it's survival horror (Low ammo stock). However, you nitpick way too much. The weapons are somewhat out of place, but why is there a merchant in RE4 who has like infinite ammo, weapons, grenades, rocket launchers, and giant ass suit cases STORED IN HIS ASS!!!

Actually, his questions make a lot of sense: flamethrowers on a spaceship? The flames would combust the oxygen in the atmosphere. Granted, the air we breathe is not 100% oxygen, but it is still a bad idea. Also, if the air on the ship was 100% oxygen, everything in it made of metal would corrode very quickly... not to mention the explosions...

Good logic but remember, this is a work of fiction. Just the fact that there are massive spaceships and unreal creatures is ridiculous.

Besides, they need those work arounds to not be too restrictive, that's where the "Fiction" aspect comes in. We can nitpik everything thats fictional.

@metalmosh6 Aye, true. One can easily overlook all of these, especially in the middle of the action.
Though small details can always bother people (oddly enough). The larger elements can sometimes go completely unnoticed due to how much they offer in the immersion, it then comes to the smaller details to hold this veil over your head.
It has two choices then. 1: Attempt to be as realistic as possible, which is this game's direction or 2: Be as absurb as you want, which as a whole, will work.

@HotaruZoku Your chemistry is lacking. "Hydrogen" cannot actually combust on its own without oxygen; you can supply the oxygen (like a rocket), but even then you are just making a blow torch. Dead Space clearly shows flames being produced that spread and linger, which eats the surrounding atmospheric oxygen.

Well, it's not really a flamethrower, it's a hydrogen torch. You know those ltittle torches you use when sautering things? Imagine that, just bigger. The torches were used to melt the ice around comets so you can get the minerals inside.
