Review: Dead Space 3 | Stuff.co.nz

Dead Space 3 is an enjoyable action game, but it's unlikely to make a lasting impression.

Game left a lasting impression from the frikin prologue at the start!!! What the hell is this guy smoking, seriously? Game deserves nothing less than a 9. I've played all the dead space series, even watched the animated movie and looked at the comics. Game is a blast! Do not listen to any negative reviews, as you will be missing out on one of this years greatest games!

I have it pre-ordered but haven't gone to pick it up yet. I haven't even touched DS2 yet, just finishing DS1 though. Should I cancel it and wait or just get it now you think?

One of this years greatest games? What the hell are you smoking :D

1. It's February, see if you still think it's that good after the great releases coming this year.

2. The combat is repetitive, weapon customization is ruined by hardcaps

3. The same rooms are used over and over again in totally different areas of the game

4. The combat involves running into a corner that doesn't home a vent, kill everything, next wave, repeat.

It has its good points but I have NO idea how people are saying this game is amazing.

1. your speculating on games coming out as being good, they may be, but you don't know for sure.

2. Add any action game here...

3. I can agree with you here, but the outside atmosphere is awesome imo. However, logically if its all old military bases, it would stand to reason they would be similar. Look at new construction houses and see my point.

4. Again, add any action game here. You don't have to run to a corner, you choose to do so, stop blaming the game for the way you play it.

You're speculating that games coming out won't beat this drivel. I guarantee you 3 months from now this game will be dead and buried. Dead Space did not become popular as an action game. That is not why everyone loved the first one, it is not the reason most people purchased 3.

What are your other options? The movement is awful and why bother to do anything the hard way? That's a ridiculous argument. Even on the highest difficulty sitting in a corner with a grenade launcher is the best option.

Show me another "action" game that tries to occupy the FPS/TPS space that doesn't offer ANY kind of decent character progression across a 10 hour campaign?

I changed weapon 3 times. Custom weapon as early as possible until the Prober thing, then changed at chapter 16-17. System can have been so much better

Why Dead Space 3 Will Be the Hardest to Remake

If EA and Motive Studio plan on remaking all the main Dead Space entries, they have to change a lot of what made Dead Space 3 so divisive.

Simple, do not bother with a Dead Space 3 remake. Rather have a new entry for Dead Space.

myfathersbastard1170d ago

Yeah I agree. Make a dead space 3, but have an original story/setting. They’ve proven they can do the game justice, and I think they could evolve 2 in a good direction, keeping a similar tone. I’d love s Dead Space 2 and 3 though. The remake was fantastic. Top tier remake, up there with RE2.

jznrpg1170d ago

Remaking 3 would need to be a reworked and somewhat changed remake as 3 was flawed in most peoples eyes and the worst entry.

Ninver1170d ago

It's the worst in the series.

Dead Space 3, A Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Kyle Nicol:

"Was Dead Space 3 really that bad?

Well, it’s a complicated question. Dead Space 3 is undeniably the weakest of the trilogy. It’s a game that deviates so far from the original formula, that it throws a lot of what made Dead Space special in the first place out of the window. Although, where it does make up for it is one of the best cooperative shooters on the market, even after all this time. Do I recommend playing this game ten years later? Hell yes. But make sure your expectations are in the right place. It has a lot of problems that bring it down."

They need to seriously continue this ip with a new entry. Even if it's just another movie I don't care I love everything about this game.
