Dead Space 3
Hits Tuesday. Loved 1 and 2 both. Can't believe we don't have a thread on this already, I know I'm not the only one that did.
I'll add some video and stuff later on, and I'm sure there'll be some interesting talk about the co-op mode and the crazy number of available microtransactions at launch, but this initial post is just about the pre-order from Amazon. They have a deal with EA where you get $20 in credit when you pre-order certain EA games. DS3 is included in that deal. Link for PC is http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Space-3-Pc/dp/B0050SWTS8 Believe that's for a boxed-copy (the deal is also valid for PS3 and 360), but I can wait a couple of extra days for some Amazon credit (assuming you can't just download it through origin once you get your codes from Amazon). Okay, the story so far: Last edited by keg in kc; 01-30-2013 at 04:07 PM.. |

I played the demo a few days ago -- Loved it. It is a big more "shootbang" but I don't mind it. Atmosphere is still there.
Coop seemed really fun. I'll be buying it Day 1. I started up a new game of Dead Space 2 last Sunday. I'm on Chapter 7 now and loving every minute of it. The sound design in these games is unmatched.

And here's the mostly-crappy bizarre phil collins inspired trailer I saw during The Following on Monday that made me go "oh shit" with the realization that a game I want is out in a week:

I'm working my way through DS2 at the moment so I'll be able to start DS3 when it arrives next month.

Got about 25 minutes into 2, and uninstalled. Nothing about the gameplay was bad as I saw it, but I could.not.look at it. The motion sway was sickening to me. I'm a pretty avid gamer, and only this and zombie driver made me have motion sickness. Couldn't do it. Kinda sucks too cause I was amped up to be scared~

well.. the way I remember it was sway throughout the first part of the game, no settings could change it, so I uninstalled.

Just got my copy, haven't loaded it yet. Some news today: they've announced that the first story DLC, entitled "Awakening" will be available in March for $10, and will be available on Origin, meaning that it looks like, for the first time in the series, story DLC will be available on the PC.
Review-wise, game informer loved it: Quote:

Cinemablend has a round-up of reviews here. As the title says, they range from "Joyless Slog" to "Magnum Opus", from losing what made Dead Space special to the being the best in the series to date.
Looking forward to seeing for myself... |
