DEAD SPACE 3 (Zero Punctuation) 

The killer rabbit, should have listened to the enchanter....Tim

*LOOK AT THE BONES!*

Blue Laser ordinarily, I don't like RU-vid comments. well done for actually getting a like from a stingy little bastard

*LOOK* _Scare Chord_ *JESUS CHRIST*

Better get the holy grenade

And they're even worse now because they're RNG lootboxes instead of just buying the thing directly

This is even funnier to picture with you as "Kim Jong Un: Zombie Exterminator."

I would pay for such a movie

+Magnus Bergman He's Kim Jong Il

Issac Clarke: Necromorph Control

skykid Thats why Half Life 3 has me worried.

You mean Monster Hunter 3?

skykid Gears of War 3 :P

+skykid Pray to the MOTHERFLUFFING lord, that we get a good Threequel to Just cause. Same with Mafia 3, and (Hopefully someday) Left 4 Dead 3.

+Matthew “The Hoodless Hunter” Hunter I honestly don't think Just Cause can really fuck up its third installment. If you think about it, 2 was basically a fuckaround sandbox hayday with a story tacked to the end, so as long as 3 has even MORE ways to fuck around and do crazy things, and improves on the few shortcomings of 2, then I don't see how it could be considered any worse, because its more of the same formula that works but with more bells and whistles. (NOT saying that Just Cause is bad, by the way, just realized the last sentence could be taken way outta context)

well that explains the white noise.

Woopsy Poopsy.

Halo 1/Dead Space 1: Oh crap, space zombies are trying to parasitize my corpse! Halo 2/Dead Space 2: Oh crap, space zombies are actually being directed by a diabolical sentient intelligence! Halo 3/Dead Space 3: Oh crap, I killed all the space zombies (I think?) but I'm now marooned millions of lightyears from civilization! Halo 4/Dead Space 3: Awakened DLC: Oh crap, I've unwittingly unleashed an ancient evil from its eternal slumber! Halo 5/Avengers: Age of Ultron: Oh crap, the AI I thought was going to save humanity has gone rouge and is trying to cheat death by raising an army of expendable robot bodies! Wait... What were we talking about again?

well to be fair in halo 1 there a control room that shows more than one halo ring, theres also a cutscene where they explain theres more than one with the whole kill all sentients thing to starve the space zombos.

Ikr, Dead space 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. The necros would actually sneak up behind you quietly. Also I liked having fun with cute minigame just to be reminded about the horrific environment once you stepped out of the room. As for dead space 2, it was awesome. I loved how they made it baddass with the transforming helmets and the space flight. (advanced suit has the coolest helmet in the history of ever) But they still kept it pretty damn scary. I also really enjoyed the competitive multiplayer. It was an awesome feeling to be stomping down the hallways with your friends as a badass security team and then gunning down monsters from all directions once you got to an open room, forming a shield around the guy on a console, and escorting someone to victory as you halt executions and call out targets. Necro gamplay was awesome too, waiting for the human to round the corner before you leap out and start an execution with your friends cutting them down. It's so sad no one plays it anymore. DS3 was good. The co op was very well done, and the customizable weapons was an amazing upgrade, along with the combat roll. I was disappointed by the lack of a competitive multiplayer mode, a refined version of DS2's with more necros and customizable weapons would be amazing. They could even use it to tell the story of the sovereign colonies on tau volantis as shit was hitting the fan 300 years before isaac gets there. Also, NO ADVANCED SUIT?!?!? T.T

Thine hate tis most gratified. Thank you.

true but they could of made the purchasable stuff unlock-able ingame but yaXD

What's funniest is that you can use a cheating device or a trainer to get the resources in Dead Space 3 without spending any money at all.

Sorry for old post, but @RobertGameFreak that kind of apathy is what will make this "industry" expand. There will always be idiots, you can't cull them all. But not beating the shit out of the fucker that sells diarrhea to the idiots, and walking away, thinking "This isn't my problem, i'm not affected" is really the fucking problem... Beat the shit out of that fucker and get done with it, because sooner or later IT WILL BE your problem. And guess what, you already are affected in a manner.

Dead Space or Dark Souls?

Dead Space 2 is just more action in a horror setting, it's less like uncharted and much more like Resident Evil 5/6 (except actually good)

Colin Burke It's been a while since a light bulb joke made me chuckle. Thank you Mr. Burke.

Timeseye You're quite welcome!

Colin Burke You have to get the season pass, and it'll be unlocked in 2-3 weeks.

+Colin Burke haha nice one XD thanks for the laugh

+Colin Burke Also, don't forget the electricity pre-order upgrade.

Nope, that is all i needed to hear, fuck ea.

Whats funny is that EA is the #1 publisher for PS and Xbox in 2014. They've been trustworthy but Ubisoft.... is another story.

GCN no fuck EA, ubisoft made crappy games and good games, ruined them with dlc bugs,whatever, EA on the other hand has been doing this shit for ever and made bullshit loads of money. you think ubisoft games are buggy, well i hate fifa as much as the next guy, but this is their second most important franchise, and its the most bugged out game ever. Battelfield wants you to pay 50$ extra for a full price game. mass effect is origen excluseive, witch means i won't get to play it. inquesition was ok but nothing special. shit, the sims 4 and city are just the worst insults to fans of the sims. why has EA been trustworthy, becuse they were so obviusly shit ?

Eric Cartman Well they are trustworthy because you can always trust them to be shit.

*"Tell me if there's anything more pathetic than that."* People not only buying it, but defending EA's god given right to do so!

i think he hit the nail on the head in the video in saying that it's an adventure in making the product as unoffensive to as many palettes as possible. this just generally has the result of making a more "tolerable" experience for a wider audience while reducing how many people outright dislike it, but also how many people can outright enjoy it.

***** It's _just_ like sex in a canoe! Fucking close to water!

Comrade Carlos Someone should nuke their site with a virus and then offer to fix it with a paid DLC of the virus. That would be funny but, the stupid fucks probably wouldn't even get the irony.

to be fair, they borrowed from John Carpenter's The Thing ever since the beginning; the game's story more closely follows H.P Lovecraft's "at the mountains of madness" in the 2ed and 3rd act. You should read it, it's pretty good.

That's a teriffic idea!

More of this needs to happen. This will make co-op scary. It's the reason why I'm still feeling tensed in Dead Space 2 despite meeting characters who aren't trying to kill me face to face quite a number of times. We just keep getting split up!

Punishthefalse Although I really did like Dead Space 1,2,3, I cannot describe how hard I sighed in Dead Space 3 when the fucking ladder broke.

Well yeah, but that was the exception that proved the rule.

Trifon Trifonov Hmmmm yup... you have a point there :) I'm curious as hell why those shitheads at Capcom didn't port those games to the PC or new consoles yet? There are legions of people who would still play those games.

MocnyBrowarek There's a PS2 emulator called PCSX2 if you're that desperate to play it on another platform (PC, obviously)

MocnyBrowarek Perhaps because they're shitheads? Answered your own question there.

The only reason why co-op horror games don't usually work is because no-one knows how to be scary(horror is a lost art) and devs only want to appeal to people who have attention span of a gnat. Modern devs think the action part in "action survival horror" means give the players enough weapons and ammo to conquer several small nations.Throwing a second player in just kills the scariness further.

thank you! finally someone in the comment that understands. the first two were fun but not scary and not nearly as intelligent as it thinks it is

Idiot

So someone named George Bush is cqlling me an idiot for figuring out the twists in a plot line early....... ya let's go with that

U rlly got ur head up ur ass

*Necromorph. Xenomorphs are from the Alien franchise.

Daniel Temple Oh, fail. Thanks for correcting me m8.

There's no justification for the protagonist not being scared of the monsters in a horror game. Give Isaac PTSD, or more hallucinations, or something. Or at least make it so he's not constantly in contact with friends and allies, or you're actually in danger of running out of ammo or health kits. But none of that is feasible when you have to weave a Co-op partner into the story, I suppose.

then replace the protagonist

but that can be said about any horror story - scary at first but when it goes on for too long, ya just get used to it, so they just focused on making the game more etnertaining and actiony,.instead of trying to do horror ( when they now it wont be as affective as the first time) ; + they left it with closure , not many games do that

Hriska Marinov Dead space didn't go on for that long though. The 3rd game just tossed anything scary about the window. At least 2 still had an atmosphere. But this one is like the resident evil 6 of dead space. Difference is I like 6 because it was campy like 4 but without the atmosphere.

Captain Rave Slendy Eh, it was a bit too sequel-baity for my tastes

DefinitelyNotYakra Yeah, but at least it was a little more creepy.

i feel ya man

Or you could just Change the character like with dead space mobile

If people wanted this kind of "Fun" they would have spend less money buying Resident Evil 6 or Gears of War Its kind of Ironic when people keep bitching around that EA is the worst company ever, then every time they release a new game they come crawling back and bending over for another ass rape

RobertAniFreak Well for critics, it's kinda their jobs. But for the average schmoe, you're right. EA isn't really horrendous so much as they are mediocre. The only thing they've done that outright pisses me off is butchering C&C.

Well I Sorta Liked Dead Space 3 But The Only Game I Truly Do Like Is PvZ Garden Warfare, The Only Reason I Do Like It Is Because It Has More In Common With The Original PvZ Instead Of The Lesser Liked PvZ 2

RobertAniFreak Yeah, I think the issue with EA is that everything released under their label feels crammed full of market research insights. Survey says people think games with multiple settings feel more epic? Stick that shit in there. Crafting system? Yeah, why not? People like love stories. Gotta have one and damn the rest of the plot. And be sure to give the protagonist a self-sacrificial attitude. People idolize that shit these days. They seem to pour a ton of resources into mechanics and presentation devices and story elements that people have loved forever, but they rush the part where they assemble those things into something that means something interesting. For example, why on Earth did this game need a love triangle? How does that possibly advance or strengthen the game's message? The first game (and even the second) hinted at the trilogy's message being something interesting about the infectiousness of religious zealotry. That message played water boy to this series' slurpy, explosive, hard-knock protagonist quarterback.

Gandalf The White some of em are actually pretty good

Kinda reminds me of RE4.... RE5.... There's a pattern here... Oh right, they want to appeal to the biggest market aka "casual gamers". Hell, even the latest Amnesia dumbed down the horror.

Javelin minigun with underslung force shotgun makes it so easy. At least in Dead Space 2 I still run out of ammo every once in a while and have to use a less ideal gun.

+LukaBlight69 I actually very much enjoyed RE4 once I started setting myself challenges like using only a single pistol for the whole game, though I guess it's debatable whether gamers setting themselves challenges not included in the game means that it's still inherently bad or not.

His eyes glaring in opposite directions

Yeah. This is still my favourite episode in terms of the opening line. :)

yeah yeah I know. I've watched his Halo reviews enough. I'm just saying others shouldn't jump on the wagon that makes co-op unable to be scary.

I think the first game did the best, it did all it wanted, with the creepy visions, singing in your ears, the group sacrifice room - which is the scariest place to be - and the unkillable one make a good game, also with low ammo and health all the time makes for a 'NOOOOOO AAAAGH' *glack swing swing chop chop chop* oh my... i need the toilet now

But..Co-op CANT be scary. Even if your companion is a AI.. yoou lose most of the tension. If there is ANYONE with you in any sense that you know of.. then well fuck might as well just be a boreing borefest.

Two reasons why that's false: One, tension can be created by one player being helpless while another has to save them. High stakes combined with total reliance on someone else is a great source. Second, psychological horror is better when one doesn't fully understand what's going on. When two characters are there, a barrier forms between what they perceive, which can increase tension as well.

While psychological horror relies on not being able to understand it, the main focus is providing tension by not actually showing the mosnter or by having the monster be symbolic. Dead Space 3 has the mosters in clear daylight that just look like malformed clay people with leprosy. Compare that to, say, Silent Hill, you have creatures with coherent shapes (humanoids, dogs, religious depictions, etc.) that have a form of symbolism, one example being Pyramid Head. Silent Hill also does a good job of not having jumpscares, but instead prolong the monster's reveal by having clear sound effects showing something is off, then refusing to show the monster, making you think of what it could be, getting more and more scared until it reveals itself and you have no other thoughts but "Run!"
