I feel the need to post a thread about this awesome game!!!
For those who don't know, Dead Space is a Survival-Horror game, pretty much like Silent Hill, but better

The first Dead Space was great but this one will be even better.
Game's gonna come out on the 25th this month!
WTF, is the youtubes working? Or am I just a dumbass?
just use the last bit of the code for youtube videos (usually after v=) for some reason it always works for me if I just use that lil bit of it instead of the full thing.
Anyways. I'm not sure what I'm doing with this one. I keep trying to get into the first game and it's OK.
I noticed if you get the PS3 version of Dead Space 2 you also get the Wii (Move) game too. Which is nice.
Ah thanx, it works now lol
Then try the demo, it's free!
Yeah, you get Extraction too, you can also get a replica of the Plasma Cutter gun somehow.
Dead Space was one of my big games of the summer.
Looking back to it, it's strange. I remember this game would drive me crazy, and yet I played the demo today, and it felt so comfortable. I felt like I had reunited with a good friend. I actually missed it.
So I'm definitely looking forward to it.

That's a good thing! 
I think that's what the developers were trying to achieve, they sure did a good job. First time I played Dead Space, I was really freaked out during the first few chapters… 
Oh yes, it scared me. This is by far the game I curse at the most, since my general reaction to jump scares is, "AAAAH! FUCK YOU!" or other forms of screaming mixed in with profanities of anger.
But it was such a challenge for me, since I played it on Hard Mode on the first run around. I kept scavenging for ammo like a maniac.

Pretty much everything had limited scare appeal for me. First few monsters were all 'wooooah!' then it was all 'oh. you again.' then 'baby monsters! nooo!'
and just kinda repeated itself lol

Lol true, the first game really lacked variety in the enemies, this next installment looks promising though, hopefully ALOT more necromorph types.

But I guess the scariest moment was the first encounter with the necromorphs… That was creepy as hell!
Hard on the get go? Must've been... hard, I played on Normal then tried Impossible, never got through Chapter 2. haha
Well, the game's been out for a couple of days now. How is it compared to the first one since this one seems to have Issac as more battle oriented now?
Also, anyway…there's a Dragon Age 2 armor code in it, so if anyone has a new copy and a spare code...I'd be thankful if that code somehow got sent in a PM to my inbox. :ninja: Edit: The code would also have to be either from the 360 or PC version as well it seems.
This new one looks fairly interesting. Will it matter that I haven't played the first one?
LOVE AND PEACE

It has the same protagonist. You could probably go ahead and play this one, but you might miss out on parts of info in the previous game unless they explain it in a sequence in this one.
Yeah! It's out!!! Haven't bought the game tho, F.
Shit. I am a chicken gamer and CANNOT stand horror games. But I kinda wanna play this…
I like the first one from what I've played so far, but i'd probably just keep renting it instead of actually buying it.

Then play it yo. This game's pro
Just watched the first 15 minutes of it (the demo). Definitely too much for me. Only way I could is if I watched the game completely played through in videos, thus taking away much of the shock factor. But what's the point then?
Dead space 2 for me was not very scarey (theres only jump scares) its basicaly dead space 1 2.0 more guns ( I think 4 more and all the old ones) more action set pieces which are awsome but come to far apart. Same upgrade system exactly! with minor tweeks new enemies and better zero G sequenses. Mix that all up and put in linear game play from start to finish and a much shorter game (at 8 hours on normal, compared to dead space 14 hours)
But I don't. 
Everything that commercial describes the game as is what I actually DO love in a game. But that commercial doesn't tell you that "This shit is scary." If I were to play these games, I definitely couldn't do it alone. I just watched the first 20 or so minutes of the first game on YouTube. The very first encounter with the Necromorphs was intense. That elevator part was especially good. "Phew, haha, saved by the elevato- OH GOD!"
You'll get used to the way the game scares you after a few chapters or so. So play it yo, the game's pro

That's a bit hard to say, though I would personally say the first game is "scarier" than the second because the first had a more eerie loneliness/ambience than the second one. Also, the lack of a main character voice in the first game (the only time he made any noise was screaming in pain or horror) compared to the second put me a bit more in his shoes.
Still, the second game still got me wincing quite a bit at some grotesque imagery. It seems there are even more ways the main character can get brutalized or dismembered here than the original. Also, it's pretty easy to get overwhelmed in DS2. All it takes is a misplaced stasis attack, or an unseen necromorph hawking a paralyzing loogie in your direction.
The game seems to cater to those that weren't around for the first game, bringing back every weapon and every "common" enemy from the first game, as well as a prologue from the main menu to get people up to speed. Also, in-game, there are tutorial-like instances of relearning techniques from the first game.
Not sure about anyone else, but I found the second game much more easy to getting sidetracked screwing around with the Kinesis ability, seeing if I could do damage by throwing a Teddy Bear or recycle bin at an oncoming creature.
Also, I found the story of the game series pretty damn good. It was basically the driving point of the game for me. the second answers quite a bit of questions as well as resolving the very last scene of the first game. Heck, not to spoil much, but the second game doesn't end on quite the bleak not the first one did
This game scared the crap out of me. Didn't play Dead space 1 but didn't need to either. It explained everything right in the beginning. The beginning of this game is so WILD! I hate being helpless in any situation. After just the beginning I had to literally set the controller down, cut the game off and walk away (little did I know that there are save points, I thought the game auto saved, so I had to do the sequence again 
).
But after going through hell and back and beating this game (took me 12 hours, why are people saying it's shorter? I did play around and adventured a little though) I can safely say that this game for me is a contender of my game of 2011. I've never been so drawn into a game world and felt so scared and intense and BAD ASS in a long time…since Zelda twilight princess (minus the scared part)
Well speaking of Zelda...the new one might take the game of 2011 away from ds2..but thats another topic eh?
Oh and...spoiler of course
! THAT DAM NECRO THAT CAN FUCKING REGENERATE THATS AT THE LAST TWO CHAPTERS OF THE GAME IS A FUCKING SON OF A BITCH ASS MOTHER FUCKER!!!! I LITERALLY HAD NO AMMO LEFT FOR THE FINAL BOSS BECAUSE I WASTED IT ALL ON HIM AND RUNNING FROM HIM LIKE A BITCH! BROUGHT BACK OLD RESIDENT EVIL 3 NEMISIS VIBE OF RUNNING FROM THE UNBEATABLE! HAD TO RELOAD A SAVE (thank god for backup saves) AND BUY TONS OF AMMO. THAT MOTHER FUCKER!!!
Freakin love this game. Just as good as the first, if not better, because they fixed some of the things that were wrong.
And then of course, this game has the javelin gun, destroys everything, especially fully upgraded.
! I freakin loved Ellie. Out of both games, she's the only character that I actually cared if they lived or died (although I really wanted Tiedmann dead). When I thought Stross had killed her I was so freakin pissed. Then he shows up with her eye…..eww.
Probably the hardest part of the game for me was trying to direct the needle into the eye. You have no idea how many times my head was raped by that thing.
! The story line was fantastic. The gameplay was great, and the ending was phenomenal. I love how much they parodied the first ending with Issac in the ship slowly turning to look next to him. Thank God that bitch of a girlfriend wasn't sitting next to him again.
Oh, and the tease for Dead Space 3 was brilliant.
Also, you all should download the Dead Space app. Yes 7 bucks is a little pricey but it's most definitely worth it. The game is great, and really helps connect one and two.
