Mostly I am not compulsive, but when I saw the game advertised it looked cool and sort of like Res.FallofMan. NOT! Do not waste your money like I did. The controls are horrible and have 2 settings you can manipulate: X and Y axis flip.
The camera following your char. is obtuse to say the least...

All I can say is I am embarassed to have spent the money...
 
I liked it a lot. Played through it 3 times, got my Plat Trophy... no gripes here.
 
I have been thoroughly enjoying this game. The controls seemed different, but not at all near what I would consider bad -- let alone horrible. The graphics are amazing, the atmosphere is definitely creepy (especially on my 40 inch television, with all the lights out), and the gameplay was more than satisfying. I bought it the week it came out on a whim (rarely buy brand new games anymore) and I thought it was totally worth it.
 
I just started this game the other day and it's been excellent. I'm at the infamous asteroid shooting part, and it's as annoying as I've heard. Once I get past it though, I expect it to return to greatness. The gameplay is excellent, the graphics are pretty, and I can honestly say that EA put out an overall quality title.
 
Wow, you're definitely in the minority there. From all the reviews, the comments on gaming forums, and it's score on metacritic, Dead Space was one of the best games of '08.
 
Some people just love to hate EA. Tell me, why was the mention of "EA Games" even relevant in the title? I guarantee you that, had the game been developed by a Capcom or Insomniac, this thread would all but exist.

Back on topic, this game is phenomenal. The atmosphere is great, the presentation and graphics are sharp, and the control is tight [I played it on my PS3]. Do us a favor and please fan your flames elsewhere.
 
One of the better titles I played on xbox 360. The sounds are awesome, I would even put it up there as one of the best sounding games. Just listening to the audio tends to give me the jitters;)
I also purchased it from several recommendations. Gameplay, Controls, and Graphics are all top notch on this one, at least for xbox 360.
 
I loved the game and thought the controls were great. Especially the third person view and GUI, very immersive.
 
Game of the year for me so far. I have it on PS3 though, and its pure win. I hate EA also, but a good game is a good game.
 
Great game indeed!
I would define this game as a Resident Evil 4 and Doom 3 hybrid.
I know a friend who is too scared to play this game...:eek:
 
Dead Space is an excellent Survival Horror/3rd Person Shooter. For me, it was like playing through my own Sci-Fi survival/suspense/horror movie, which was an awesome feeling. Forget that they 'borrowed' many strains from Aliens/Event Horizon/the Thing, it's a pretty darn good sci-fi story in it's own right.

Sorry you didn't enjoy it OP. But I will disagree with you that no one else should get it.
 
Uh, this was definitely one of my favorite games of '08 and the majority agrees. This was a sleeper hit of the year.

I'll second that. The majority favored Dead Space.

its easy to get lost in the EA hate though.
Personally I have witnessed EA butcher the gaming industry over the past decade. Taken so much and destroyed it in the name of profit. I hate EA, I loath EA, look at my sigm I think EA is the worse then Hitler.
But despite how bad EA can be, they do come out with some excellent games. How do I get past my hate? I remember that EA bought up many smaller game companies, and EA is more of a blanket corporation.
 
i've been enjoying dead space a lot.. love the gameplay, have no issues with controls
 
what the hell is "Res.FallofMan"?


Regardless, Dead Space is an excellent game. The story really drew me in and the game reminds me a lot of system shock 2.
 
What system are you playing this game on? I have a PS3 and the controls are simply not like any game I've played before. If you are playing this game on your PC then try it on a PS3. Maybe I'm crazy, but the lack of any controller options seems a bit strange to me...

The graphics are incredible and the story seems immersive but this control issue, well really.......
 
If you are playing on PC, trying using the Xbox360 controller. It will automatically detect and configure itself.
 
Gotta add to the brilliant camp here. Controls were no issue, gfx amazing...same with sound.

Guess you can't please everyone.

I felt that dead space resembled Sunshine in many parts.

This games is the sleeper of the year. I never haven't enjoyed a shooter on a console like I am with Dead Space.
 
Playing on the 360 and the game is just darn near the best money I've spent on a game since the original resident evil.

I'm playing on Xbox 360, and the controls map to most first and third person shooters I've played recently. Left trigger to aim, right trigger to fire. Movement is like pretty much any other game.
 
love love love this game. if more crap hadn't come out to get in it's way I would have bought it... soon as it hits $30 I'm snagging it.
 
Maybe it's just the difference in consoles. I'm not playing on an XBox and am not familiar with the controls of that system.
I can say that after playing (on a PS3): Resistance: Fall of Man, Resistance 2, COD4, etc. that the controls are most definitely NOT mapped like any of those games.

It's not that I don't like EA and am trying to flame them either. I really couldn't care less who produced the game.

I don't like the controls. This may be an issue for the PS3 only, I don't know. I don't care for the fact there is no changing the camera view, i.e. which shoulder the camera looks over.

You're comparing the controls to that of an FPS?

Guess what?

DEAD SPACE ISN'T AN FPS.

It's exactly like Resident Evil 4 when it comes to the controls (aside from no 180 degree turn button).
Anyway, it's a damn shame that you don't like it because it really is an excellent game.

GOTY? Fuck no. MGS4 had that title locked down since June. :D

Except MGS4 isn't a game. :p:p

I just killed the Leviathan, so I'm halfway through. I was starting to think it felt a little too easy, but i'm starting to get to some trickier situations now that require a bit more tactics.

That is why I like to call it "Movie Gear Solid 4"...

But on a serious note, it took you guys a while to realize that this guy was comparing a Survival Horror with Third Person Shooter elements to a FPS... As soon as I noticed this I realized that this guy some how slipped into the wrong genre of gaming and hasn't had many brushes with this genre type before...

OP... If you don't like the control or camera view you may not like many games that are from the survival horror genre... Granted some survival horror games have made the progressive jump towards a more FPS suited play style, it was obvious just from the camera angle and missing HUD alone that this game was aiming to something much more different than a FPS experience...
 
Haha its one of the major electronics stores thats selling it for 30.. just check your local black friday website and double check.. i might be wrong.

Neg.. its easy the whole way through. I just use the line gun and the pulse rifle. The plasma cutter is nice to save on ammo.

Basically.. you run around in circles till everyone gets in a large line to slice you up, and one line gun shot should take out mostly all of them. The pulse rifle is underrated IMO.. when its fully maxed out, it cuts up the tougher enemies extremely fast.
 
I'm actually pretty bored with the game now. I'm at the end of chapter six, and I'm really frustrated with the boss (Levithian). I have no problem dismembering the tentacles, but I always get dizzy from jumping around to avoid the sacks it spits at you.

You can use kinesis to shoot the sacks back at him. Best thing to do is just shoot him in the mouth, hurting him and detonating the sacks at the same time.

Fuk I'm in chapter six, I had no idea a boss was coming.

Edit: Oh my dementia, I already killed the boss saturday!
 
I can't wait for the next dead space game EA announced. I hope it really comes out.
I'm playing on impossible mode now, but since I got to keep all my stuff and got the military suit, so far it feels like im blazing though it.

not me
I loved the game best one so far this year, but leave it at a single. Better to end off this way then ruin it with a shitty moneygrab sequel.
