Biggest disappointment for me in gaming for a long, long time...

Although i thought Dead Space was a good game, it was a bit like Doom in 3rd person, and i hate it when the hero, doesnt say a word. Now Resi 5 is a whole new ball game great story, voice acting, both enjoyable but Resi just shaves it for me

Resi 5 takes the biscuit, I don't know how people enjoy a game where the enemies actually slow down once they get to you to give you time to shoot them, that's lame.

The pattern of running away from enemies doing a 180 then firing is irritating too, it just feels like a poor mans action game rather than a survival horror.
 
The point of the enemies slowing down is otherwise you,d be swamped because of the shooting system, i was very dubious myself of picking the game up because of this, but i think it works out fine once you get used to it, i guess they wanted to stick to the Resi formula, where shooting is concerned,and why not? its worked for all the other titles in the series, and they still had a massive fan base.
 
RE5 was crap even though i dragged myself through it hoping for some RE goodness but no. RE4 is crap also to the point i never did finish it. Old style RE is much better. Dead Space isn't RE so cannot even compare that to what a RE game should be.
 
Dead space is good, but i cant feel any empathy for a main character who just grunts and clicks his way through the story, there is no emotional attachment for me, and spoils the game. i mean i know if i was a mining engineer confronted by all that horror , either my trousers would explode, or id be tossing f bombs about like there going out of fashion

Aye, that is my one sizable complaint with dead space, no character means no empathy. I also hate it when they do that in RPGs, make it so the main character never says anything so you can be 'more a part of the story'.

Here's the thing game devs, i don't want to be part of the story because i'm a boring geek, if i was part of a story it would be crap, i want to watch people with deep and interesting personalities partake in an adventure/journey. Hopefully they will have learnt from this in dead space as it is the complaint i see voiced most. What annoyed me the most is that Isaacs personal log was really well written, if you read it (which you never really needed to do) he added his own personal thoughts and opinions, all of which i thought were insightful and/or realistic for the situation he was in. If only they had just had someone do a voice over of those at the start of each objective it would have been enough.

Rumour has it that the sequel will not feature Isaac, so hopefully they'll also get a voice actor in to replace the mute.
 
Yeah the voice over would have helped, im also a fan of cut scenes, it drives the story on, if they are well scripted etc, and RE5, has superb ones in abundance.
 
Thing is the quality of the dead space voice actors and cutscenes were absolutely brilliant, it's just the lack of interaction that the main character displays that takes away heavily from it. I very much liked that they replicated the actors themselves as the characters in dead space, made it feel more real as they actually sounded and looked like the person playing them.

My only disappointment is that Peter Mensah (who plays Hammond in the game) didn't shout 'THIS IS MADNESS!' at some point... and then Isaac should have yelled 'THIS IS DEAD SPACE!' and kicked him down a big hole. Jesus christ if they had done that it would automatically have been the best game ever.
 
RE, RE2 and RE3 nemesis were some of the best gaming ive had on the consoles. shame they have gone off track to be honest.. i spent so many hours on RE2 and RE3. i wish they would remake RE, RE2, RE3 and put them on a single ps3 disc :D id buy! i remember seeing the hunters for the first time, i bricked it when i saw it coming through the door :p

Making a reference to an awful film would not have improved that game in any way :o
 
I love the new path that RE has taken, especially the coop aspects, and hope it continues into the new plot arc in RE6 :)
 
Dissapointment?? This game is exellent.

Been playing through the game on co-op with my bro since the beginning and its friggin fantastic. Amazingly good game..

Don't get this thread..

Just reached the halfway point, I've now decided i like it more than Resi4, fantastic stuff, great gameplay and graphics, the cinematic aspect is awesome, it's turning into one of me fave games ever. Far from disappointed.
 
I think it works best playing it fully co-op from start to finish. I have with my mate and we both loved it tbh. Its great co-op
 
wow just downloaded the demo. what a pile of ****, the controls are awful. why cant you fire without aiming? why is does the trigger button make you look at your partner? why is so hard to swap guns? it doesnt even pause the game when you are trying to equip, whats wrong with one button to switch?

It isn't hard to swap, just set guns to certain axis on the d-pad inventory then from then on press that direction to equip. It doesn't pause because it is a coop game, would be dull, annoying and confusing if it paused every time your partner went into their inventory screen.
