Make us whole, but not in the sexy way - Dead Space 2 [NSFwusses]

Muggins

Hey so remember this guy?


He used to work for these jerks


But then a bunch of crazy shit happened involving these other jerks

ended up happening on a giant ass spaceship capable of cracking open a fucking planet.

I mean look at this shit:


So anyway all that crazy shit happened and kinda end on a cliffhanger sort of. But now Issac Clarke is fucking back bitches! And he's got new duds! He can also fucking fly.


Well okay so it's just thrusters that let him fly around in zero-g with no problem holy shit c'mon that is so cool.

Anyway it's been a little while since Isaac is rescued and brought to this place: The Sprawl.


So since this is a video game and all we all know some shit is gonna go down there and it's up to Isaac to save the day again with nothing but a plasma cutter and so, so many stasis packs. Oh, one more thing:

Did I mention Isaac has almost completely fucking lost it?

Also Hank_Scorpio made a couple of fantastic trailers

And this one which contains some spoilers but you should totally check it out after you beat the game.

So yeah, Dead Space 2. Let's talk about how we'll all shit ourselves starting January 25th.

I still need to beat the first game, but it's hard because I have to get past this second ape monster thing.

Muggins

Oh also the ad campaign is almost right out of the fucking 90's

dead space was a near perfect survival horror game

captaink

I don't really know anything about Dead Space 1 but it's like $7 on Steam and that is tempting.

IT'S SO WORTH IT


I am so excited about this game although that ad campaign is horrifyingly stupid

this ad is fucking stupid but the game looks like pretty fun

Muggins

Also did I mention that there is a button devoted to stomping your space boot on the ground so hard that it will cause limbs to explode off of bodies.

In Dead Space 2 they let you do it faster now.

captaink

Sell me on this game Bale. 'Survival Horror' doesn't really mean anything to me.

Muse Among Men

I really liked the character design for Isaac. There are numerous titles starring faceless masked protagonists but Isaac's mask was truly striking.

Tonkka

YES.

PiptheFair

also, the fact that you are literally an intergalactic cable repairman with absolutely no military or defense training is something that is extremely unique and adds to the suspense level

You are all alone in a dark atmospheric space station and you are assaulted by terrifying monsters that do not stop until you completely dismember them.


YOU MUST SEVER THEIR LIMBS



Basically it's got a fantastic legitimately terrifying atmosphere, fun combat, and inventive puzzles.

Muggins

I just played the demo and I am so excited and oh my god there are children necromorphs. Not like the baby ones from the first game. These fuckers will swarm you.

with the exception of the pulse rifle, I'm pretty sure all the weapons are actually just engineering "tools"

The game was fun but the combat was like, fable easy.

Abracadaniel

The difficulty kinda went up when the shock made my controller fly across the room and I had to scramble for it as my limbs were torn off my body one by one. Also those fucking super fast black ones god fuck augh fuck those guys augh

Dichotomy

dead space is fascinating to me but at the same time I will never purchase it because I am such a wuss

like

I could barely sit in the same room and watch it while my roommate played it

Weaver

Almost all of your weapons are industrial tools. The whole thing started because of a stupid religious cult. The interface is pretty boss.

Cilla Black

Alright just caved and pre-ordered this and got the deal on the original, which I've never owned but have borrowed several times.

Can't wait to see if it's as fun as the original.

Melding

Also a lot of the scares were monster closets, and decoy corpses. There was some good scares in it but the majority of it was action game like.

Muggins

Of course if you are huge wusses and still wanna enjoy it there's always this lp of the first game: http://lparchive.org/Dead-Space/

I would say the atmosphere is what made the game actually scary

They kind of make a big deal of not being able to see his face but then there is a part during the opening cut-scene where you can just swivel the camera around to see his face.

Cilla Black

I'm a total sissy wimp to games like Resident Evil but for some reason science fiction horrors just don't scare me all that much, including this one. They're still a ton of fun though.

Penguin Incarnate

This isn't about Red Faction at all.

Fuck this thread. Fuck it in the eyes.

Weaver

the tall lanky necromorphs that are really good at sneaking up on you

fuck those guys

yeah, and the interface was boss as fuck. just i got so used to things like "okay, that corpse isn't dead, neither is that one, then a guy will burst through here. Alright, go team" and i was spot on more times then i should have been.

Balefuego

also I was literally terrified for my life everytime i fought the Regenerator


OH FUCK OH FUCK RUN AH AHHHH

GeoMitch

do you think isaac clarke skating in skate 3 is canon to the series y/n

I don't remember being scared very much by monsters popping out of things, though it did definitely happen

I was way more scared when I was just walking down a hallway waiting for something to happen, or the weird shit you'd see that wasn't actually a threat but just really fucked up, like the

guy who's banging his head on a wall and just completely splatters it when you get close, or the necromorph you'd see standing in a doorway who'd run off and never reappear

The new one interests me but I am cautious about it.

Muse Among Men

God yes, the atmosphere was amazing. The warning, "Beware the vents" or somesuch? There are vents fuckin' everywhere.

Artreus

I should get back to finishing this game sometim---... I just realized I have a surround sound system now. Going to play the FUCK out of this game with that system.

Yes, these were neat and good things.

Also the re-generator guy just made me angry. I hate things you can't kill for no good reason. luckily i could slow him down and then knock him over letting me get away with no issue.

Day of the Bear

Yes Deadspace love this game.

I really dug on the presentation of the interface.

When my roomie was fighting him and we got to that cryo chamber I had the common sense to say the perfect one liner. "Chill Out."

Needless to say my roommate nearly had an aneurysm from how bad it was.

Muse Among Men

Oh man the regenerator
