Anyone else here play this game? It's a bit creepy, but it's a great game. Also gets a little gory...

I'm stuck at the part where you have to shoot down meteorites >_< And I sooo wanna play Dead space 2 but I can't until i've cleared the first game :'(

>>2 Haha yeah that took me a couple of tries...

I actually just started playing it. I'm on chapter 3 and its quite good. But i agree, quite gory. Can't wait to play the second one.

both dead space games are awesome, i liked the second one better, but its less "scary" than the first one. they focused on gameplay and the online multiplayer mostly. it still is amazing though.

Anyone here play Vindictus on east server?

Oops ignore that meant to make a new threat not reply. Sorry..

I love Deadspace. I really got into the story a LOT which is actually a bad thing. I couldn't sleep for weeks thinking about all that bloody gore and death xD I still hope to see more new games from the franchise though!

Just beat this game yesterday, and then watched the animated movie. needless to say, it's on my mind right now. I agree with >>5 game-wise as i have played both
>>1 only a little gory?
>>8 I sleep surprisisngly sound after playing survival horror in general. not even weird dreams from them.

also, this is a NECROPOST! careful people, before it comes to harvest the bodies of all the threads.

i don't get it. so some alien virus kills people??? i would like to understand this game. but i just doesn't interest me. so please can someone explain it to me.

>>10 I'll take a whack at it.

An ancient artifact known as "The Marker" is recovered from a derelict planet somewhere in the vastness of space. The Marker apparently was the only thing keeping being known as Necromorphs from being released back out into the cosmos. When the U.S.S. Ishimura, a planet mining vessel, takes the Marker for nefarious reasons, a few of the alien zombies board the ship along with it causing an outbreak among the crew.

Necromorphs, or rather their baser form(a sort of flying sting-ray thing), has the ability to insert a barb into a dead person's skull and inject a sort of neuro-toxin that reanimates dead tissue causing massive mutation in the process.

You play as Isaac Clark, an engineer assigned to check up on the Ishimura after it goes dark. Not long after arriving, you find yourself trapped on a giant tin can floating through space filled with flesh defiling/eating space mutants. And so the fun begins.

It's more of a game for those who like horror survival. Definately so if you're a fan of the Resident Evil franchise.

sounds good. now i need to play the game and the resident evil games.

We should all join the Church of Unitology.

Did you catch the Easter Egg hidden in the Chapter Titles?

>>14 i did in the first one. i would avoid saying it though, as i qualify it as a spoiler.

double post name now in use for the second time ever.

>>11 pretty much has it down pat, but i would add that not only does the marker seal the necromorphs int heir home planet, but it also seems (to me at least) to be something that they worship, and it causes dementia in the average person, causing them to see people dearest to them who aren't really there, and overall doing some crazy things.

>>12 you really should. I don't mean to bring in a negative subject, but if you do end up playing the Resident Evil games, maybe you'll see why some people were dissapointed in the movies. keep in mind though that Resident Evil 1-3 plus 0, Code veronica X, and others, play way differently from Resident Evil 4 and 5, which is what I feel Dead Space relates to. the whole time i was playing Dead Space, i couldn't stop making comparisons to RE 4, the gameplay and some of the side things are very similar, but i feel that the lighting affetcs helped make the atmosphere of Dead Space more creepy, and therefore it was a scarier game. Dead Space 2 is definitly still pretty creepy, but the lighting isnt as spooky as DS 1, so it's not AS scary. aside from that, in DS2 the story takes place not on a single ship, btu rather on a space station with considerably more people, and therefore more necromorphs, so it's a bit more action oriented, but not in a bad way.

Oh man I remember when this came out and I played it in the dark with surround sound. Still remember hitting the lights as soon as I heard something.
