Dead Space 2 multiplayer beta blog

I was super physced when I first heard about this games multiplayer, after a few hours I have to say that I'm a little disappointed. This games sadly seems really one sided. The game really seems in favor of the engineers. The necromorphs seem really weak and die extremely easy. When playing as the necromorphs its extremely rare if you can actually get a kill. When playing as the Necros you can jump on your opponents and start clobbering them. This really comes down to, how much damage can you do before you die. As the necros you can see the players health as their skeleton will light up certain colors (green, yellow, and red). If you try to maul someone who's health is green they WILL kill you before you kill them, and probably before you even get their health to yellow. However if you maul them while they have yellow health you will most likely kill them. On average my K/D on necros is about .56 but my K/D on engineers is well over 3.0. One of the major problems here is that the engineers have the ability to heal. Pick up a medpack and hit O and you can heal even when fighting. There are a few glitches in the game, but that's to be expected in a Beta. First and foremost. I hopped on at about 4pm (pacific standard) and could not find a game to save my life. There are sometimes in game where I know that I am getting hit, because my controller vibrates and my character shakes but my health doesn't go down. Sometimes Necros will float in the air if you kill them during an execution. And I can't level up past level 2. The game keeps saying that I level up but at the end of every match I level up from 2 to 3 again. At the end, I had a lot of fun playing this game. I hope they fix this and make it right.

I thought that it was kind of hit and miss. In some matches Necromorphs were great to play as, I think teamwork is key. I still think that the Fear Factor of the game needs to be turned up a notch by giving Necromorphs higher speed. I think, whilst I see your point, the engineers aren't too overpowered, I think the most frustrating thing is that players are engineers, why couldn't they play something slightly more...possible, like regular survivors?
But, the key point is, it's fun. Not the greatest multiplayer title ever and it needs a lot of tweaks but hey, it's a Beta, the point is to allow gamers a chance to give feedback and shape the game.

Brklynty15705d ago

Now the reason the necros are losing is cause its the beta and you cant upgrade them at all. They said you can upgrade them to make them stronger as you level up in the real game.Its just gonna start out that the necros are week.also they want the necros to use teamwork witch happens occasionally. but about the level system i agree it does say i level then it goes back to same level and same score. Im level 8 and its just staying there no matter what. what i would like is that it would show the dismemberment points in game and also after the match the total score is the actual progression rate that it would move up but it does not move up that the amount of points it shows as total.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9216d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
