Dead Space 2 .

Common issues creeping up yet?

This game constantly annoys me with the issue i've already mentioned of it throwing loads of enemies at you. It just seems cheap to me - wait til you're in a tight room then chuck everything at you!
Also it has a habit of making enemies suddenly appear behind so you lose loads of energy or they just kill you:mad:
 
Only noticed things spawning behind maybe 3-4 times across the entire game, as for the tight room thing then yeah that is pretty true, but as you should know Necromorphs prefer to attack in packs.
 
Things spawning behind you... well... how else are they going to get them to creep up on you!

You have to remember to... "Check those corners!!!"

Also, anything that spawns behind you is always at least a few paces back, so you can hear them coming for you and spin round with a quick leg shot to keep them at bay :D
 
I would so love to see that if as you say you get immersed in the game and atmosphere.

I used to get creeped out playing Oblivion with the surround sound kicked up in a dungeon at night!

Pretty much sums up my intensity of immersion lol.

Just hit chapter 13, loving it so far. I will admit to playing on casual at the mo though, I do have a fairly good reason though. My left wrist is broken and stuck in a lovely green cast :)
 
I also just realised how difficult hardcore will be as I don't get my upgrades, I forgot I was rocking a fully upgraded suit and stasis...so much extra health. :(

Only control I'm not that happy with is B for quick health. I've wasted so much of it hitting the wrong button or forgetting to LT for kinesis and using a health pack.

I'd rather you could only carry 3 weapons and down on the D pad was health :)

Well done the first 5 chapters just about in 3 hours, looking in all the corners and alternate routes I can. Don't wan't to go to work :(

Once I've done this run through and chimped my weapons with nodes I will have a try at zealot but there's no way I'm bothering with hardcore.
 
Well I just found out hardcore is actually survivalist mode but with the save limit and removed checkpoints. :D Definitely looks more doable now!

Oh it's doable but the rage induced from having to redo 3 chapters even if it's only 3 hours lost would tip me over the edge :D
 
I'm upto chapter 7 on Zealot (the bit with the monsters who hide behind crates). Start on normal but it was far to easy and tbh up to now on Zealot hasn't caused to much trouble.

Overall I'd say the game is great but not as scary as the first by some distance, and I'm really enjoying extraction even though it rough around the edges.

I always do. But on one section it'd thrown loads of enemies at me. I killed them all,collected everything from the dead ones,went to move forward and got attacked from behind:mad:
Just been in one really dark bit where I was walking around for about 2 minutes not knowing what to do. And then I finally managed to find a ramp going down that I couldn't see:rolleyes:
 
this has prob been covered in the thread, but the thread's huge....

ps3 or xbox
and is there much point playing the 1st game before this one ?

played the demo on xbox last night and I was kinda s####in myself :p
 
Dead Space 2 Limited edition on the PS3 (which can be bought for the same price as normal) has Dead Space Extraction with it for free, nice extra if you have Move.
