BrakoV5 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Just started the game after first playing it all those years back on 360.. Seeing how most devs were supposed to have problems with building games for the PS3, it seems Visceral did a flipping good job with Dead Space all those years back. Good to see even after all the crap I've subjected myself to watch on the net, that Dead Space can still make me nervous or scare the socks off me. Back when I had it on 360 I purchased the weapon and armour packs. This time I'm doing it properly as this is one game that you get complete when first purchased. None of this selling you the game in bits and bobs which eventually can cost you around £70 + in some cases. So do you gents still play this beauty?

Exedome Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I don't think I've played it since I got the platinum. But yeah, it's a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I don't think I've played it since I got the platinum. But yeah, it's a great game. This^ I actually sold my copy as it's one of those games that doesn't have a great deal of replay value but it's still a damn good game and one that people should definitely play at least once .

Aeirou Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I think I've beaten it about 5 times.. yeah, it's good Never play Dead Space back to back and it always ends up feeling like the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkyjay9 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Just recently played through it for the first time in years and I was quite surprised with the gameplay and graphics. I could've sworn I had gone back before and was a Taddd set back by some changes and the gameplay, but it was amazing, AGAIN just a few weeks ago when I played it. Only weird thing is the statis, but overall the game is en fuego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solstice Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I don't think I ever replayed it, because it doesn't really have an incentive to do so like Term mentioned, but now that I think about it, this game was goddamn excellent when it debuted and still is. Really is stunning in every aspect. And I'm sure I'd still shit myself if I played it again even though I remember a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noid Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Yeah great game then, and I'm sure it holds up fantastic. The 2nd went a different direction and I liked it as well, but the first was definitely very fresh when it came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily with creating a fresh ps4 account I have that trophy incentive to go back. I completely understand your reasoning though. It's a great game, but that added push is sometimes all it takes.

BrakoV5 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 I did intend to do it completely legit, but then I forgot about all those upgrades Used a nice little credit glitch on chapter 4 which helped me with around 250k. I just wish they would have allowed the gamer to play through impossible mode from the beginning. With the higher difficulty from the start, this truly would have made the game even more tense. Dead Space 2 seemed to go the more action adventure instead of horror game. But as mentioned it still worked because the action was done very well. Not heard many people talk about Dead Space 3 though. As much as Don't Get Cocky Kid' can be frustrating, its one of those rare occasions where you feel like you've earned the trophy. Not a bad little mini-game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exedome Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I actually didn't think that "Don't Get Cocky, Kid" was that hard. I think I did it in about 6 tries. At most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakoV5 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Yeah thats what it took me last night. The thing I like about it though is that its always a random pattern, so its skill that will get you through, not having the ability to read the AI pattern and do it that way. Just fought the Leviathan and forgot to blast one of its boulders back at it for a trophy No doubt be able to get it on one of the many playthroughs needed For some reason I had it in my head that I needed to kill it by throwing the fire extinguishers at it. Hate it when I play along to my own randomly thought trophy list lol:D I laugh hahahaha. But really I want to smash the PS3 up lol. Hit my stress point with the game on 'Crackshot'. Had to switch the console off before thousands were killed. One thing I truly hate about the PS3. The tiny joypad made to suit only childrens hands lol. Way too compact and clumsy for me on certain game modes. Mainly racing and cursor movements. Will have another crack at it tomorrow.

AccusationsFly Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Dead Space is still one of my favorite games on the last gen consoles. After getting all the achievements on the Xbox version and recently making the jump to Playstation, I decided to pick it back up for an easy and enjoyable completion.

I'm considering doing the same myself. Worth another playthrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavgav77 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm playing through the Dead Space trilogy right now, so I've only recently played the first game and I have to say it was amazing. I loved the ambient music and sense of loneliness as you work your way through the abandoned Ishimura. I've been researching the lore a lot as well, reading about the Marker, Unitology and the contagion. It's a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zealot Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Dead Space is pretty much my favourite game. I played it on PC first then, when I got my PS3 in Feb 2013, it was the first game I bought and also my first plat. I normally trade games upon completion as I don't really have time to replay them and I prefer to keep the trophy count steadily rising but this is one disc I will always keep. Recently had the urge to play it again and thinking of doing a Plasma Cutter only Impossible run just for shits and giggles. Fantastic game!

eleriel Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Playing through one-two-three on 360... Then going back to one on the PS3 was a bit of a shock... 1: controls are a lot more stale in one, can't reload while running OR walking, have to aim. 2: stomping is very slow compared to two. 3: waaaaaay more horror-orinted, Alien-esque even, where as two is more action with a few jumpscares... And three is just action. Actually, the Alien movies is a nice nod. First is horror, second is action, third is crap. Fourth will be just weird?

Terminator Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 (edited) Going off topic for a second, the Extended edits of both Alien 2, 3+4 are far better than the Theatrical releases though nothing can fully save no4. Back on topic: The controls are definitely not as refined in no1 but in a way that only adds to the tension, albeit not in the way you'd really like. I love Dead Space 1 but I didn't get on with 2+3 which is why I sold 2 after getting to 100% and only played the demo for 3. Edited May 15, 2014 by Terminator Fixed typo.

Dinos Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Amazing horror games indeed, although the 3rd one wasn't so successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiN Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Goes to show that a relatively simple concept, when well executed, can go a very long ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x410xDragon Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 It is a great horror game to play in general. Hopefully, if they decide to make a Dead Space 4, they go back to the first game tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Dead Space 1 but I didn't get on with 2+3 which is why I sold 2 after getting to 100% and only played the demo for 3. It kind of makes sense from one point of view... In the first game Isaac isn't a warrior, he has no prior combat experience at all. So he has to take his time with his aim and reloading is an awkward ordeal... And he's only just realized he can use his magboots to make his stomps 10 times more destructive, but his musclememory isn't in it yet. In the second game, he's more experienced, he's learned from his mistakes and successes. (Caveat: he's been in stasis for a couple of years, so i don't know when he did this learning) Anyway, he's more at home with the handling of guns... And the stomping, oh god the stomping is so fluid! And the game throws more psychological scares at you... It's not the necromorphs that are supposed to scare you, it's human nature and hubris. In the Third game he's just a badass, but... There are no more scares. Just bodies to grudgungly wade through on your way to the next checkpoint. Edited May 17, 2014 by eleriel Spellings.

Just bodies to grudgungly wade through on your way to the next checkpoint. The third game was not too bad, but I felt they could have done better. The attachment he had with Nicole in the first two games is what made the games very dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've been playing this game for the first time in nearly three years to do my Impossible playthrough and earn the platinum. This game is nearly six years old and still looks, feels and plays brilliantly. It hasn't aged at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X monkfish69 X Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm just finishing off my first ever playthrough which I started way back in 2009 when a friend lent me his copy (which I'm still playing). It's a great game, it really is. One thing I recommend (and not everyone can do this), turn up the sound as much as you can allow ! There are some awesome ambient sounds in the game which really add to the atmosphere. Highly recommended !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 This is definitely an impressive game even by today's standards, I really should've played this much sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
