FLACK666 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 It clearly must be me, I downloaded this thinking it would be good fun but jesus, I cant get the red trace line to go where I want, the AI's is straighter than a bullet from a gun and twice as fast, I aim mine at the speed pick ups and it just swerves past them laughing at me all the way, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazza1974 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Gotta agree with you mate, I'm a total Dead Space geek, got the book, figures etc... absolutely loved the franchise, but hated this, the 'mini-games' are annoying and pointless, and I see this as no benefit to story with this. Gonna persevere to get trophies, but cannot be bothered to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunShooter Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Here are some of my tips that might help some people out on the Tracer Hacks: *Utilizing all the abilities they give you is very important. *Drafting is very helpful in catching up with the computer. If you are behind try to follow the line left by the computer *Stopping is also important in getting through narrow areas *DO NOT use any boost until you at the least 85% done with the hack. Look at the top of the screen to see how close you are to finishing. *Try to save your reverse power up and wall power up until the end as well. The only excpetion for using the wall before the end is to slow down one of the attacking ones from getting you or when you are right in front of the computer putting 1 or 2 down to slow the computer. Other than that save your abilities untill you are near the end. *Hitting boost is very important but don't go out of your way to hit one. *Practice and memorization is important. If you fail just keep trying and you will eventually be able to anticipate what comes next because some are very difficult the first time or two. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake2410 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I agree, the trace route minigames are stupid. I luckily finally got the "Ain't Got Time To Bleed!" trophy on my final playthrough of the 4 to get the other trophies and only managed it by like 15 seconds on route D. God I hate the trace routes, the whole reason I couldn't get less than 30 min the first three playthroughs. Thankfully I never have to play through them again and try to get under 25 min again. Ugh, truelly the worst one in this game. Didn't mind the others at all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidar80 Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I agree the trace routes do suck. I got lucky I guess and beat them all first try on my first play. My favorite one is the virus one. I really sucked though apparently I went Route A and it took me 35 minutes but it sure didn't feel like I took anywhere near that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofRock Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 First, i should note that i did not like this game at all. I am a huge lover of Dead Space, thus was excited to learn that my reservation of DS2 came with a free downloadable game, just to find out it sucks. Second, i found that not moving my analog forward while moving straitens the line a bit, but the AI is done by the game computer, so naturally they are perfect.

TheNukes Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 Ignition is the worst I have ever encountered in all my years of gaming, who green lit this garbage is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowAFC Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I have to agree, some of the trace hacks really pissed me off! The only redeemable quality was the cake line and free trophies. Im expecting much more from Extraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ER777 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The trace route controls were annoying, it seemed like it was taking input in terms of both the orientation of your dots movement and the controller orientation. What I mean is that if you're heading from left to right on screen pressing either up or left on the stick would make your dot turn left. It made it a little confusing when the screen rotated. However, after a few times through the game you do get used to it. Timely use of the power-ups is the most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chanman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I freaking hate the trace route as well.The controls are so sensitive. I always end up swearing at some point lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roushmartin6 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I freaking hate the trace route as well.The controls are so sensitive. I always end up swearing at some point lol! Either ultra sensitive or unresponsive. This game just plain sucks. I rather play Saw for the rest of my life then this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwood24 Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I was gonna buy this game, mainly for the Dead Space 2 unlocks, is it worth 3.99 GBP though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ty31h Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I was gonna buy this game, mainly for the Dead Space 2 unlocks, is it worth 3.99 GBP though? Yes, it is worth that much...not for the game but for the unlocks. However if you wish to get the trophies, it's a great bonus even if they are annoying as hell.

Terminator Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) I hate those Trace Route sections, purely because of the dire controls. The Virus sections and Hardware Cracks are better, especially if you use the walkthrough for the Hardware Cracks. I wish they had patched in Move Support as that would have made the Trace Routes so much easier! Edited February 1, 2012 by Terminator Added extra info.

Mario91658 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The trace hacks are the only ones that really require skill to an extent, the laser ones you can just look up online, and the swamer ones are just button mashing. Oh well guess I wasted more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzler Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 The trace routes didn't give me much hassle personally, it was the hardware cracks that gave me endless grief, I gave up and consulted youtube for most of the solutions, I would have been stuck for hours otherwise!

Triace68 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I think all the mini games are somewhat mindless >.< The trace routes require some skill, but they are more annoying than fun lol. Anything for some Dead Space 2 unlocks lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caturday Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hardware cracks are worth their own game, but everything else is underdeveloped junk. You can survive without them unlockables in the main game just fine. As for the comics, there's always Peng... mmm... I mean YouTube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonJohn80 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I can't get the Under 25 minute trophy, which blows since it's the only Dead Space trophy I'm missing pre-3, and the 3 ones will come in time. The game pretty much blows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naps Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) I really am struggling with the Trace Routes hacks. My teenage kid can easily ace them so it is definitely not impossible or hard for others, can the age of a gamer be a factor? What I have noticed though is that using the to control the trace with and is much harder to than using (up or right) and (down or left). We just have to condition our minds of it but I did find it easier to navigate the 'maze' this way. Horizontal it is easy to go up and down, but when it goes vertical that is where it gets tricky as moves us to the LEFT and moves us to the RIGHT - it is just so unnatural being inverted, the mind just simply resists! The colour of the enemy Countermeasures carry their own characteristics and we really have to avoid getting in contact with them as much as possible: 💠The most rage inducing ones are Green Seekers as they are responsible for pushing us against the wall of data blocks. 💠The Purple Watchdogs will relentlessly follow us around while placing random DDoS attacks (inverts the controls) and Firewalls to block our path. 💠The Cyan Tracers are just the usual rubber-banding sunnovabitches (we see in most arcade racers) that devs love putting in there just to troll the heck out of us. But yeah, just like what the OP had said... this damn thing is annoying as hell. Edited September 7, 2023 by Naps ... I feel like getting an aneurism any moment now.
