Deathjam Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've become so shit scared of this game, I can't physically play it. Haha, problem is, when you go back to it, the tension just skyrockets to the same levels as it was when you left it. I found that the longer I played a session, the more I was able to cope, but if I turned it off and went back to it, I was back at square one.

Chris the great Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 i find that in scary moments, i do better if i go into my angry/violent state. bassicly i sit with teeth bared, shoulders broad and play like a mother fucker. anything in my path gets mullered, try n be as violent as possible. dart in, no catious peering round courners, just kill kill KILL! unfortunatly, i couldent get out of that state once. really ruined that game of pictonary...

Goron_3 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Haven't played this in a while, mainly because it FREAKING TERRIFIES ME! Great game though, that said, i think the pacing leaves a lot to be desired. I dunno it could have been done better i reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 just picked this up, in the 3rd chapter. its tense, ive jumped out my skin a couple of times, but im coping by playing like a hard nut, stamp the bodies to peices to make sure, kneecap and fucker who comes my way. love the tense atmosphere, and the always low ammo. very good presentation.

Chuck Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Just finished chapter10. Its really more screaming at the tv to reload faster or run faster as the guy who doesnt die runs after you rather than jumping, ive only done that a few times. Especially when you have to pull stuff out of the way to get through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 *sigh*, I was in chapter 2 and got fucking owned by these parasite things. Haven't gone back yet and really want to. Its just terrifying. Scary movies don't scare me... Scary games do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the great Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 its tense, but im certainly not afraid to play :P/. a few shocks here n there, but its certainly no bother. find the combat pretty good, nice range of weapons. doubt i'll sell it when im done.

Chris the great Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 well, finnished the game last night. all in all, id say it was an excelent game. the presentation is an obvious point of praise, the graphics, story and audio were all top notch. gameplay was actualy pretty limited, all "go there, put that there" with very few excpetions. that said, it worked well. it kept you going deeper into the ship, and taking you back into rooms that had previously been empty only to find a room full of evil was neat. a couple of the puzzles were clever, but with the exception of one mid way moment in the game, i never got stuck. (i jsut didnt think to walk on the outside of the asteroid!) combat was always fun, and stopping the automatic head shot was tricky. tactical dissmemberment was lots of fun. in terms of scaryness, it put it just abouve resi 4. lots of not wanting to turn a corner, but when you do, its not so bad. did get a couple of shocks that made me jump, but it wasn't overdone. all in all, a very good game. don't be afraid, jump in!

Ganepark32 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I did the exact same thing as you. Didn't think to go on the outside of the asteroid and had to do that bit so many times before I realised what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Finally finished this today, only about 6 weeks after getting it! Overall very impressed. Took me awhile to get into it (just didn't have the immediate appeal of Mirrors Edge or Banjo Kazooie unfortunately) but when I did I thoroughly enjoyed it. Never quite reached the heights of obvious camparisons like Bioshock or Resi4, but fantastic nonetheless. Just a shame that the final boss came down to a simple strafe attacks, pound weakspot with machine gun affair. Armed myself to the teeth beforehand and did it in one go without so much as a med kit.

Was gonna perfect the boss first time but actually screwed up one time where he grabbed me, and then I could not shoot the right bits in time before I was eaten. Bit pissed as I knew he was close to death. Well chuffed when I completed it though and it really is an awesome game. Wonder if a sequel is possible.

Wonder if a sequel is possible. im sure i read that it was part of a serise read the wikipedia, they seem to think so. so this is a replicant of somthing older, how about games set throught human history, kinds like eternal darkness? id like to see the creatures taken on with a sword that said, the endeing was rather ambigious (did issac escape?) so theres a chance of returning there again.

jammy2211 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 So after the disaster-purchase that was Tom Clancy's EndWar, tommorow I shall be going into GameStation receipt in hand ready to claim back my £25 to get another game. I'm split on purchasing this or Prince of Persia, the biggest factor is I'm a bit of a pussy. Dead Space looks great but I'm not sure how much of the scary-alien stuff I can take, so I ask, will I need to grow a pair to play this? Should I just go for the safe Prince of Persia option or take the risk? I know the game is hyped as brilliant mind you. I think I'll risk the scariness and go for it, I've become more atoned to this sort of game lately. The odd thing is I used to play the original Silent Hill's and Resident Evil's no problem as a kid 0_o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Prince of Persia is a better game. No question. I recommend FEAR2 over Dead Space IMO. Its more fun. Dead space has the better chill factor though but FEAR has the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Dead Space is a grand mixture of Bioshock, Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime. Prince of Persia is a 7-hour-long Quick-time event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 between prince of persian and dead sapce (boh are very good but totaly different) my recomendation would go to dead space. im a bit of a pussy (or was), but if im honest, i think i got about 4 shocks the whole time i played, and there werent many moments that scared me. in terms of scares, its scarier the RE4, but i didnt find that scary. prince of persia is good, but it lacks real challenge. prince of persia looks amazine, but dead space is more satisfying to play.

Aalborg Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 finally got round to play this and it's f****** awesome.. was a bit annoyed by some of the secondary firing of the weapons.. like the pulse rifle.. untill i got rushed in a cramped space by 4 monsters.. was about to give up and reload when i remembered the 360 overhead sweep.. tried it and it tore them to shreds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiemetriX Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think this game is way better than both POP and FEAR2. I'm on my second round of Dead Space and it's still amazing. Hope you guys/gals have surround systems, cause that made this game insanely intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
