Dead Space 3

[Twigg4075]

I think people are freaking out about the initial reviews. It's sitting at an 80 for PS3 and a 79 for Xbox on Metacritic. Those are pretty good scores.

So... Co-op.

Twigg and I managed to die.

A lot.

On Normal.

Should feel bad about it but when I get shot in half by a shotgun before the end of Chapter 1 without a chance to get out of it, I know it's serious business.

Also, flying around should be easier than it is but... let's just say there's a lot of sharp edges to avoid and they don't all belong on the end of a Necromorph claw.

Still fun and the true way to play due to the sheer amount of enemies that seem to spawn out of the walls/vents/floor/wherever the fuck they feel like.

It think I saw an exploding one crawl out of Twigg's ears once.

So they added more momentum to your zero-g flying compared to DS2. I found that out the hard way when I tried to boost past a stasis'd fan and couldn't stop before I ran into the next fan running at full speed.

I'm at chapter 5 on Impossible, and enemies will eat up your ammo. I've been using the Evangelizer mostly because of the shotgun attachment since that seems to be the most effective against the pain in the ass ice pick/axe necromorphs. So far, the game doesn't seem to be a big departure from DS2 outside of the Unitologist skirmishes in the first chapter.

Did anyone get this for the Tree60?

Might have it tomorrow for 360, we can make sex with it.

[Twigg4075]

Yeah, the only place Dizzle and I really had issues was during the part where you are flying through the debris. We must've died 20+ times and it was more than a little annoying. The funny thing is that when I played through that same section solo I got through it on my first try.

As for the rest of the game I'm really enjoying it so far. I love how they have optional missions now and the crafting seems pretty cool. I also love how all of your gear carries over through all your saves and Playthroughs.

[padman59]

I've noticed other areas early on that seem to have the same thing happen, but this looks to be the shortest way.

[Twigg4075]

Yeah, I saw Kotaku posted that yesterday. I wonder how long before EA patches that because that glitch directly effects their gross microtransactions policy.

There was a similar glitch like that in DS2 I believe with nodes.

I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't change this since you're only getting 20 or so of whichever scrap spawns each time you reload the room. It would take you a while to total the same as what you'd get from buying the resources.

I don't think you can get tungsten by doing this either.

[Twigg4075]

Tungsten is a bitch. Dizzle and I found a room that required a torque bar that can only be crafted with 20 tungsten. I had 10 and he had 16 but you can't pool resources or give the to your partner. Lame as fuck.

[padman59]

I'm glad they brought that back. There's also supposed to be an 8-bit mode that you unlock after beating Hardcore.

Yeah, does that just mean it's as difficult as old NES games? Pixel graphics? Side scroller?

It's just a filter that makes everything look pixelated.
