      I have a feeling that one day, the games we'll buy (at least from EA's wing) will be more akin to DLC, and the DLC we buy will be more like the game, if you get what I'm saying.

      Completed DS3 a couple of days ago, safe to say I think it was a solid sequel to Dead Space 2. Questions answered, a bit more cinematic, stunning graphics and just an all around great game. One thing I would have wished for is that it was a bit harder. I played on hard since I've completed the first two games about 8 times each and it didn't give me much of a challenge at all, just frustration when I had to go back and forth to benches to build more ammo in the later portion of the story, because the gun I built guzzled the stuff up. I don't know whether being a fan of the series has desensitised my fear of the game, or if DS3 just wasn't that scary really. The first Dead Space will always be my favourite game, simply for the sheer feeling of isolation and paranoia you felt roaming the halls of the Ishimura. Dead Space 2 was great for a bit more storytelling and getting to know Isaac (something which I really thought would ruin the game, thankfully it went somewhere in the end and it was brilliant), but the third instalment did feel like a bit of a tag-on, despite a bit of clearing up about marker mythology. Overall: Good: -Nice storytelling -Weapon crafting is the best of any game I've played -Tau Volantis was a refreshing new setting (gorgeous too) -Action was a nice new direction -Still some jumpscares, the horror still prevails a little Bad: -Necromorphs were pretty boring, all recycled -Boss fights were SO frustrating and felt like content filler -Atmosphere lost a bit due to action -Humans as enemies, it just felt weird shooting living people with a plasma cutter (just personal opinion) -Single player did feel like it was left by the devs a bit towards the end of the game, I can see how co op would make it a lot better I still love Dead Space 3, and I'd recommend anyone to buy it, but there were a few things that, as a fan of the series, I wasn't quite too happy with.

      *spoilers* Wow. I certainly did not love learning the story behind markers and the Necromorphs. There are too many games right now with the whole, "repeating cycle of extinction and we have to stop it." Giant moon monsters? Ugh. I would have rather just not known. It would probably be a lot cooler if we just never new what the markers did. They were just always a mystery. You don't always have to answer all of your questions. The only thing good about 3 is the new gun crafting system, and that the gameplay has remained intact. Which, after long enough is going to have to change or evolve somehow or it will get boring. I think this is about the limit with the 3rd game. It's the same shoot off a leg shoot off an arm, dead necro. Dead Space 2 seemed like a step in the right direction. A good evolution of the franchise. Dead Space 3 feels like it has stagnated (aside from gun crafting). The story went to crap, the characters are horribly bland, every plot point is predictable and uninspired, every scare is a loud noise and something jumping in front of your face. There's nothing that makes you think at all, or gets inside your head. This game just made me sad.

      What an awful, sellout, Bieberfied, EA-ized (?), self-destruction of a previously great, atmospheric horror game. First Resident Evil, then Silent Hill, now Dead Space. What's happening...?

      I thought Army of Two was a 3rd person shooter. I'm not sure that going for a more serious tone is what the series really needed. From what I understand the first 2 were a tad more light hearted in their murdering (that sounds bad), but with Visceral it looks like we're going to get another brown shooter.

      artcellrox Here's to hoping it's less strategy-game based, like LoL and DotA, and more... different, I suppose (Super MNC and Awesomenauts).

      Everyone who's mad that it's not "Survival Horror" just look at DS1 and DS2. DS1 stopped being "horror" the moment I turned the power back on. As soon as I did that I was scared by a few jump scares but that's about it. DS2 didn't even have ANY horror to it. It was just an action game. Dead Space is terrifying looking yea but Horror hasn't exactly been it's main feature.

      This is starting to look more and more like a straight-up action game, and that's not good. Also, a continuous AI companion? It was neat in RE4, what with her being helpless, but RE5 was just a pretty shooter and nothing more. Oh jeez.

      Ummm.. is it me or does the Frostbite 2.0 engine look like utter crap on consoles? I know it looks good on 3000 PC's but on consoles it looks like a jagged mess of pixels. The only saving grace is the lighting which is pretty good. Not Alan Wake good, but good.

      "EA is looking to expand Dead Space beyond its survival-horror roots" Translation: We will remove the survival horror feel completely including anything good about this series like tension and atmosphere and we will make a new uninteresting, easy to develop Call of Duty in space with necromorphs. But it will have AWESOMOMGWTF!!!111 graphicz!!!
