Another boss! Oh wait, that's the last one... er, what?

Fair enough :[

Dead Space baffled me somewhat overall and I think that's pretty clear (especially so in my final rant).. I really don't understand why I enjoyed the 11ish hours, yet at the same time, came away utterly disappointed.

I think it boils down to loving the premise, the setting, the engine and quite a bit of the game, yet utterly hating how the poor story telling, lack of any real horror (other than gore) and no brainer linear objectives made Dead Space completely disappointing and even boring in places.

It had the potential to be a game of the year candidate, but as it stands, it's not close, but IS a damn fine game regardless.

It gets a B from me.. the B sums it up perfectly imo, as does Metacritic's score of 89 which accurately portrays the game falling short of the A-list scoring category, but is still a great game that's worth playing at least once.

Rent it.

Enjoy!

You hear that EA? if you are gonna make Dead Space 2 talk to OTG for advice!!!!

[Ganoniel098]

Isaac has worse character development than Gordon Freeman and Master Chief combined, I can't recall Isaac saying a word and has expressed only one emotion when he saw girlfriend suicide video, other than that he is a robot! OTG was the only one to give Isaac a personality, a very humorous one to cover the empty one. I praise you OTG for having a great and upbeat personality to makeup for Isaac's silence. Otherwise I would have fallen asleep watching the entire HTSF. All in one sitting in fact.

Gordon Freeman may not have any lines, but he's got personality of a sort, in how the characters in the game treat him. The characters that are his friends speak to him familiarly, like to a friend. The downtrodden who look up to him call him by titles and treat him reverently. You get the sense that people care about Gordon. If he died, there would be a reaction. Breen would be ecstatic. Many would mourn.

Isaac is some kind of dog that everyone orders around. If he died, would anyone care?

Well the tenticle things DID look like RE5 stuff..

This probably would have been an A-list game if EA hadn't focused its resources on other things. This game could have been amazing if they had focused on this more. Even Armake21 agrees that If they had focused on this more it would've rocked your face off. (Not exactly those words, but he implied the same thing)

I quite want Deadspace 2 now, so many games coming out that I want, gaming-winter to come I think.

[DanteForever20XX]

This is why OTG is awesome. He's the kind of gamer we all should be. He thinks past the super awesome parts and finds the parts that fault the game, because those are just as important IMO.

A lot of reviewers seriously get caught up in the good parts (things OTG mentioned or whatever) and then forget about anything else. I question who or what was scared by dead space though. Maybe some people might be scared the first time they run into a new type of enemy, but nothing more

LOL! I literally lol'd.
