Dead Space (360/PS3)

Re: Dead Space (360/PS3)

So far, I'm loving this game. I'm on chapter 5, and I love the clean HUD. Having the health, ammo, and air on your character with no map or anything is so refreshing. I hate when my screen is cluttered with a dozen bars and numbers.

I could see how some would say it's repetitive, but it's definitely no Assassin's Creed in that respect.

As far as someone talking about stocking up on health, and stuff, I haven't had a problem with that. So far, the only times I've died are

Spoiler

in the centrifuge when I wasn't far enough in the cut out; running across the ship during the asteroid field; and trying to shoot down all the asteroids to save the ship

. I haven't been killed by an enemy yet.

Ok I'm stuck. On chapter 7 you get to that room where you're supposed to plant a beacon on the asteroid, which I did, and then disable the tethers. How the hell do you disable the tethers. the log says to aim a shot past the casing. Call me stupid but I don't know what that means. I click R3 and it takes me to the ground beside that spinning thing and there's nothing to shoot at. Do i have to go into space and disable them in order or does it matter which one I disable first. But then again I don;t know what to disable so that's not gonna help. Going on the other side of the asteroid after planting the beacon just makes me run out of air and I don't see no damn tether.

Shoot the giant wheel things. You'll see lights underneath the spinning section. Just shoot the lights out. You can use Stasis if it's too fast, but I didn't need to - just shoot at the opening a few times, and you'll hit them and they blow up. Don't forget the 4th one on the ceiling inside of the room. I got 3 and was running around outside all day looking for the 4th.

Thanx guys. I'll try it tonite. Forget Ebay, Amazon, Youtube, Facebook..... The best thing ever about the internet is getting these game tips because if this was 15 years ago I would have ended up trading it back in.

To be honest, I don't think you could trade them in then. Maybe Funcoland was around then but otherwise it was a flea market/swap meet for that.

Re: Dead Space (360/PS3)

Stuck on level 6 right now. I need to kill 8 of monsters or whatever they are. I have two left which are located right near the elevator but no matter when I do they won't die.

Any tips?

Just finished the game. Spectacular ending!

Re: Dead Space (360/PS3)

On chapter 10 now and really don't want to see it end so I'm milking it by not playing too much in one sitting. Never have been a big fan of replaying a game on a harder level, usually bores me and because the game has no MP I will end up trading it in. Can't remember the last game I've played where I'm gonna miss it so much. Just so damn fun. Thank god R2 is coming this week to soften the blow.

I'm starting to think he's the reviewer I agree with most.

Re: Dead Space (360/PS3)

I just beat it the other day. I liked it alot. I actually think the bosses were the easiest part. The other parts where the rooms are flooded with various necromorphs I felt were actually harder. I must admit though that I cheated and would plug the Stasis code instead of worrying about collecting or purchasing stasis packs..........that way I could sell them when I did find them and use the cash for other things like nodes, medpacks, and ammo. There are other codes you can use as well to acquire nodes and money and your collection of achievments won't be penalized for using them because you can only use them once per playthrough.

The game definitely felt like a cross between Aliens and Event Horizon.

Hmm, I never found any time when I even ran out of Stasis. There were rechargers on the walls anytime there was a point where you had to use it several times. No real reason to even cheat, to be honest. I never used a stasis pack the entire game.

No offense but what's the point of playing a game if you're gonna use cheat codes. It's not like Dead Space was overly difficult in any level. You could get thru as long as you were smart about it.

I'll agree with the Stasis part, Near the end when you're pulling that marker thru there was actaully too many stations to recharge. If you maxed out the plasma cutter you could pretty much get thru any part with little difficulty on meduim level. I would try it on hard but I can't get into replaying a game on a harder level when I've already beat it.

Still a great game though and the ending was fun and leaves it open for a great sequal.

Re: Dead Space (360/PS3)

No, the game wasn't overly hard (at least on medium), but I was getting impatient as far as upgrades for my suit and weapons. The codes will get you an extra 7 nodes and a bunch of cash to play with.....but only once. And yeah, the stasis recharges were easy to come by overall but like I said, i'd rather sell those packs and purchase ammo and nodes.

I liked the line gun as my favorite weapon, although the plasma cutter was a close second.

I'm going to keep this game though. For me, this is one of those games you hold on to and play again later. I thought the visuals, background score, and theme was that good. Not often you get a game that really makes you want to kill the lights and crank the surround sound.

Re: Dead Space (360/PS3)

Just traded Madden in for this-1. I'm really looking forward to playing this. I love SCI-FI. Movies like Alien & Event Horizon are my favorite 2 & from what I've read this game is a cross of the 2..
