Hello and welcome to this Let’s Play of Dead Space
Number 4 in the horror theme I think…hmm anyway.
Dead Space is an almost new run through for me, as I stopped fairly early in the game so I could do this Let’s Play and I can remember almost nothing of it. Perfect for scares!
Of what I did play of this game I loved. It has this great atmosphere to it that sets it apart for me from the others in the genre.
I may as well put a quick description (ie. Stole from Wikipedia) of what Dead Space is for the one or two people who may not know by now :P
‘Dead Space is a third-person survival horror-action video game…The game features an 'over the shoulder' third-person perspective, similar to game Resident Evil 4.
The interface does not feature a traditional head-up display. Instead, information is relayed to the player via holographic projections, which hover over or in front of Isaac's weapons and armour and can even be part of his armour; much like the 'health meter' which is integrated into his spinal armour.’
I would put more but it seems to get spoilery.
Right then. I’ve done the first set as I type this, and damn is it scary. I love it to bits
Also I may as well add. Advice is awesome, please give lots of it!
Videos
For the videos there will be a pick of either
Dailymotion or Youtube. The choice is yours. Dailymotion links will be in the first part of the spoiler, Youtube the second to save on space. (no longer the case as Dailymotion kept fucking me about) Youtube links do have HQ if you follow them to the Youtube page.
And now the actual videos!
Set 1 - Space rage
Dead Space... Now even harder!
Set 3 - Whatever happened to all the ammo?
Set 4 - Contents may include space (youtube only. Sorry but Dailymotion keeps fucking up.
Set 5 - Babies!
Set 6 - Crackin' some skulls
Set 7 - Argh! Where?
Set 8 - It came from the wall
Set 9 - It's Big
Set 10 - The floor is out to get me
Set 11 - Not on a first date
Set 12 - Why wont you die?
Set 13 - The set from the black lagoon (read spoiler info)
Right. Some things first. The sound is pretty much wrecked at the moment. I dubbed the first 6 or so minutes, after that the game sound comes back. Its pretty crackly throughout mind so sorry about that. Secondly, no youtube as its being lame and won't let me upload it for whatever reason. So it's on Dailymotion.
Thirdly It's uploaded by 'awaiting conformation' so I'll post the links but I don't know when they'll be up.
Sorry about the long gap...I swear theres a higher power trying to stop me doing this one.

It actually feels like a horror game on Impossible Not that there isnt enough to keep you interested elsewise.
Gawd. Normal is tough enough for me for now I think
Youtube Channel!
You can manage hard. Seriously though, in hard you have to remove limbs to kill the necros, on normal they'll just die from being shot anywhere. It's a huge difference to the atmosphere, tension, gameplay etc. It really makes the game.
Reckon I should restart on hard and just get back to where I was?
If it makes it better im more than willing to do this
Youtube Channel!
And it's a whole lot creepier!
I had a similar experience with GOW2. Played through on normal, finished it and thought it was a pretty decent game. Then I started on insane and my enjoyment of it pretty much doubled.
The game is VERY different on Hard Mode. I played almost a quarter to a third of the way through on Medium, started over on Hard, and thought I was playing a different incarnation of the same game. The gulf between Medium and Hard is really that huge. Not only can you tell there's a difference just by how hard it is to kill the Necromorphs, but they also act differently, charging and dodging at actually intelligent moments.
It's a HUGE difference. You'll thank us.
Really.
Unless you guys really want to see the first 'activate the tram' section again i'll skip it and get back to where I was.

GLEE!!
I liked the rifle and the buzzsaw is it? Ripper? hmm. They were fun the first time. Any other suggestions?

I enjoyed using the Line gun. Its' secondary fire worked well against groups of enemies. Bunch them up together, freeze them with statis, then use the secondary fire to take them all out. When you pull it off, it will feel great.
But I played on normal, so it will probably be more risky for you to do.
edit: and you can move the camera in the 360 version when you're sitting in the Kellion so you can see his face. It's only after you've crashed, though. I suspect it's a bug, or an oversight by the programmers.
I stored the contact beam occasionally though, the ammo is only held in small stacks and it ends up taking up all your inventory if you carry it around all the time. Actually, I rarely used it to be honest. Slow firing, slow reloading gun isn't that great in these situations.
The cutter is my favourite gun anyway.
You can do the same thing in the PS3 version.
He'll want it in level 6.
Upgrade the cutter for now. Cutter and health.
Upgrade the pulse rifle, then quote Aliens all the time.
Game over man, game over.
Cause I mean in Dead Space, they literally ARE coming outta the goddam walls.
Also don't forget to leave guns unloaded so when you upgrade capacity you get free ammo.
Also only carry two guns at once, not three or four.
The random ammo spawns only ever spawn ammo for guns you are currently holding. It is far more effective and efficient to carry a main and a backup than a full compliment. The Pulse Rifle and Plasma Cutter are certainly the top choices I feel. Though the Contact Beam is my go to 'get me the fuck out of this shit' gun.
It seemed alright if a little sensitive.
So give the ripper a miss is the general opinion then? Shame
That bad huh? I'm sure it was Darleysam or Klyka that told me air was good to take one time :P
You guys are going to have to teach me the Dead Space way I think haha!
Youtube Channel!
Hmm I tried just carrying around the Plasma Cutter, and still got ammo for other guns :I
edit: and I haven't even bought the other guns yet.
Health is worth it, especially because the medkits heal in percentages - 30, 50, 100. So a large med pack would heal you twice as much, as well as allowing you to live longer in combat.
edit: I was all ready to upgrade air and go exploring! Then I played it and found out it was all explorable with the standard tank.
