Dead Space 3

[SethMode]

I hope the fact that day one digital downloads are getting more popular is the first step in losing these absurd pre-order content things. For the first time since, maybe the early to mid 90's, I wish everyone would behave more like Nintendo.

If you have a Dead Space 2 save, you get a slightly better plasma cutter to start the game.

The Planet Cracker Plasma Cutter has slightly better parameters then the starting one and has all 8 circuit slots unlocked from beginning giving you an ever so slight edge against the Necromorph terror.

EA has announced new Dead Space 3 downloadable content called Awakened. Set to arrive in March, Awakened introduces “the franchise's darkest chapters as the Necromorph battles become even more gruesome and terrifying than ever before.” Awakened will be available on PlayStation 3, Origin and PC for $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points), but no specific release date has been announced.

No release date but it wouldn't be like EA to fuck around with making some extra dough out of a decent franchise of theirs.

I.E., wring that blood from the stone, motherfuckers.

this game is bombing reviews. below 8 is basically ass. kotaku gave it a DO NOT PLAY rating on their wonky system.

It's an EA three-peat, nuff said.

Review Scores So Far...

IGN gave it a 7.8

GamesRadar gave it 3.5 out of 5

-Rev3Games' review... note this is visual and MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS.
-5 out of 5

Joystiq gave it 4.5 out of 5

The reviews are all over the place, and this is looking to be a pretty divisive game. Stuff like the weapon crafting and microtransactions have been polarizing from the reviews I've read.

[JayDizzle]

Essentially, you could either go into this with high expectations having played the first two and come out somewhat satisfied (words like Deja Vu and More Action/Less Horror come to mind as 'negatives' for a series that's based on cramped environments and fighting armies of space mutants... sounds familiar?).

If you're going in blind, you could do worse than putting money down on what might be (probably will be unless they go mobile again) the last of the series going forward even with the microtransactions, $10 DLC (a fucking steal nowadays) and piecemeal gun parts secreted behind Slim Jim wrapper codes.

And if you can't stomach that, Sly Cooper 4's hitting stores TODAY for $40 with the option to play the game on your Vita as well.

You can't lose today.

I was hoping for more $6 or $7 DLC ala DS2's Severed. This shit better be longer then.

Kotaku gave it a DO NOT PLAY in terms of its single player, they gave it a PLAY in terms of its co-op

The reviews are all over the place but they all seem to favor the co-op to the single player campaign...

[IamMedellin]

wait....Wait....


WAIT.

 

Ellie got a New Eye AND A TIT JOB!?!?!??



Kudos EA

Even terrible games are fun with co-op. Co-op should be a yes no matter the gameplay.

 

XB DASHBOARD: NEW XBLA GAME out now! Throwing Poo at Friends 2013
Me: Meh.
XB: It has co-op
Me: The Golden Pooduckers league now taking signups!

Co-op does make pretty much any game infinitely better.
