I actually started my Dead Space game today finally. On hard. It's such a different experience when you're actually playing it. I could watch these all day and be fine, but suddenly when I start playing it, and choppies and crawlies are running at me, I turn into a little girl who apparently can't aim for crap. But it really is a fun experience. I still don't know if I want to actually buy the suits as they come around, or jump in the Obsidian Suit while it'll still be useful. I'm in Chapter Two, so I think I need to make a choice soon as armor and additional space would be nice, it's just a matter of how much, how soon.
Don't bother with that suit man. Do it the real way, much more fun.
I actually did decide to play the game like I didn't even have the Obsidian Suit, so I just got my Level 2 suit upgrade today. Saving the O.S. for my second playthrough. I have to say that I'm doing decent at the game (I've run out of ammo once or twice, which I had to count against myself in that regard) but I can only play it for so long until I'm just too high-strung to go on. But Stasis is my friend. I've punked out many a necro thanks to it! (Including the time where I was out of ammo and just had to beat one to death, and another time when I shot off its legs and swatted its head off before he even hit the ground.)
That
goddamn tentacle thing caught me with five shots left, so I died twice before I managed to kill it. Since it was right after the centrifuge part, I could only stand there cursing for a few minutes when I thought I was screwed. But I pulled through!
Awww, no update tonight? I was looking forward to getting home and watching one. Damn you and your lackadaisical attitude to updates Helloween!
(I'm just kidding, keep up the awesome work. The last set was great, and it was nice to see someone else get totally confused by that puzzle. It took me a while too.)
By the way, brace yourself for the next chapter. That shit is insane if i recall correctly. I have gotten to the start of chapter 10 and haven't had the courage to try it again for the last week! I'm such a pussy!
Just caught up with last night's mammoth update. Good work again! I don't remember 'Satan' being so creepy when I saw him, but that was awesome. Also those things on walls never cease to creep me out And the tall facehugger dudes are great. Nicely handled.
I just discovered the force gun today, and I'm on my third playthrough on Hard. I guess it sucks until it's upgraded, it's sort of the reverse-plasma-cutter. It disconnects the torso from all the limbs.
And I remembered why it was a horror game when I started my impossible mode playthrough... nothing dies in less than 3 shots. I'm spending too much on ammo for my 2 guns to buy the next suit upgrade... on the comms array chapter on that playthrough. Much fun, though.
This Let's Play is awesome. Loads of fun to watch. Can't wait until the next part... since I know what's coming up. Oh boy.
I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.
The mic pops a little in this again. Nothing terrible but it's a sign that I need a new one I think. Ugh. Fuck you higher power that wants to stop me doing this
There were some Holo-Pics on the USM Valour that showed a marine with a Plasma Rifle. Said something like, "We own the Space". Probably not it, but something to that cocky effect.
Anyway, they were using Plasma Rifles, and like the USG Kellion's security detail (Hammond, asian guy, and surly moustached guy), they were probably using the unmodded versions. As Helloween has helpfully demonstrated, the Plasma Rifle sucks against Necromorphs in its Node-less state, so I can easily see them getting eviscerated by a lone Necromorph.
Perhaps he fucked some up, made it to the flight deck, fucked them up, caused the USM Valour to crash into the Ishimura, at which point some infecto-Necros get in, make some more Necros out of the recently fucked up Marines, and BOOM, you've got a ghostship of Necromorphic rape.
or perhaps the infection/whatever spreads without the flappy thingies? After all, it started without them, right? I can't imagine that dead flesh being terribly hygienic.
I still stand by my original theory that the space navy is made of nancy boys.
This part of the plot is the weakest link in an otherwise pretty cool story. A whole ship full of marines definitely got waxed by a single necromorph, at least far enough to make it crash, heh. Aren't there like, quarantine procedures for rescued civilians/whatever on military ships? Meh.
I'm reinstalling Dead Space because of you, Helloween, you bastard. Looks like they never shipped a patch for the PC version, so instead of mapping everything to the numpad or arrow keys (I'm a poor lefthanded sap) I have to use my mutant IJKL control scheme again. Still and all, this should be fun
or perhaps the infection/whatever spreads without the flappy thingies? After all, it started without them, right? I can't imagine that dead flesh being terribly hygienic.
In the movie you see that it's one of those that first board the Ishimura, and causes the whole infection. The marker just makes people suicide so the flappy monster can harvest them.
It's "Way Past Cool". That's what you were going for, there, Helloween.
I just did the part today where Hammond jettisoned the choppy out, so at least that's fresh in my mind. I also completely forgot that
there was another Brute so close after the first one. It caught me completely off guard and almost killed me. Stasis saved the day again, though!
I'm pretty frustrated though; the game keeps giving me flame fuel. I think it's punishing me for sucking in the room where you start the engines. I had to do the whole fight four times before I didn't get chopped in half.
What, just one Mr Choppy? Must be a right bunch of poofs on that military ship.
Not a single miner there, so yeah, they're screwed. Note Isaac's approach to handling complex machinery
when he opened the hatch to toss out the space balls. Does he push some fancy buttons? Does he fuck. He trashes the safety clamps with his hands and feet! That's space engineering, that is.
Edit: I really enjoy your sets, Helloween. You provide most excellent commentary.
Very good Helloween, very good. When you first said, "Space Balls," it was if you had a epiphany, suddenly realizing the true name of those orbs, it was said with such reverence and humility.
As for the one necro infecting the whole ship... I'm wondering who exactly opened the escape pod. Maybe some low-ranking dude with no weapons?
Besides that, look at all the weapon lockers in the room with the shooting gallery. All the pulse rifles? Still in the lockers.
Doesn't account for everything, but still. It's the closest I've gotten to an explanation.
Do these people have any sort of life signs detector apart from the RIG signal? If not, they might have opened it thinking it was empty without doing a visual inspection first. People are stupid sometimes and, as we know so well, the Necros are good at the catlike hide-and-pounce routine.
Also notice that Satan had been knocked out of His chair before He ('kay, ending that now) was decapitated by the necromorph. I think he might have been the only one in that part of the ship, and wasn't able to send a message to the others aboard, either because the comm system was out because of the damage to the Valor, or because he didn't have enough time to send an all-hands alert.
Mr. Flappy is necessary to spread the infection in any case. I can't recall at the moment if he appears here or not, though.
The movie doesn't explain where Mr. Flappy came from. I'll assume
he's the one they originally recreated from the information gleaned from the Marker.
Also- who the fuck is stupid enough to recreate unknown DNA encoded in/on an artifact known to be of alien origin?
I want there to be a sequel for this game. There are also rumors of a live-action film:
Not only novels and toys, but Schofield is also "talking with movie studios right now. We have been all along. By doing this now, we could have a movie that bridges the gap between the two games." Hold on, did he say "two games"? It's obvious they're willing to franchise the hell out of this game, but it's also clear they're not willing to compromise on quality.
Schofield goes on to say that "the difference with this is we need to go in and say, "This is not a $10 million movie." Sure somebody could make it, but that's not what we are looking for. It's an expensive movie. What we're doing, say, with movie producers is handpicking our producer. We get approval on the scriptwriter, director and those sorts of things."
Probably known information (posted for the benefit of those who didn't know previously), but the questions left behind by this game will probably be answered eventually.
The game gives background (logs you get after you beat chapter 12) telling how the necromorphs got out. They recreated the dna in a lab, but it only grows when out of range of the Marker. It got a hold of some dead skin cells from a scientist, and that was how it started producing things.
I'd guess that the necro converter things (flappies) are probably closer the actual necro biology, and that they are produced by a combination of the environment that the necros create (the growth in the vents, etc) and things that are made dead.
So you don't need a flapper thing to start a necro infestation, but they help to speed it along. It never showed them making anything than the black stabbies, so the brutes and facehuggers must come from somewhere else... that... we weren't shown.
Yay, guessing! :P
If that makes sense, then hey. :P

I can't wait for Helloween's run-through of the Valor.
Same here.
The next part is the first time I actually thought to myself "Hey, I don't think I am actually going to be able to complete this game" that's how much it freaked me out. I've reached another such point now

A necromorph.
Hammond locked it in there and jettisoned the escape pod.
Loved the update Helloween.
