DUDE! DEAD SPACE 2 HAS GOT ME SO PSYCHED, I DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE READING COMPREHENSION OF THE PEOPLE WHO DOWN VOTE THIS THREAD!

DEAD SPACE 2!

But seems I only made a third/turd :(

If you say so.

I say so too.

You guys act like RE5 was terrible.

"You guys act like RE5 was terrible."

Not at all. But Dead Space showed it could have been a lot better.

@Copa

Fair enough. I was expecting to hear that it was trash. I wouldn't go to the extreme of saying RE5 was pure amazement, but it was a well built game. Dead Space did take you back into the older RE days though. Actually had me nervous at parts!

@Spyder

Really? I've never played System Shock but it's lauded as an achievement of atmosphere. Dead Space was very fun gameplay extremely similar to RE4, and while it had a decent atmosphere it was more jump scares than anything else.

Totally agree, the RE series needs a face lift. The controls and inventory system left a lot to be desired in RE5. It's a real shame too because it had a ton of potential to be a great game instead of a good one (in spite of it's flaws).

Seriously, why can't Chris walk AND shoot/reload/knife-attack/heal? Moving around feels like I'm controlling a tank.

.....seriously? that happened for like 20 seconds out of the entire game.

20 seconds of FAIL. And it was almost never in an area with necromorphs, that was actually pretty rare. Youd just be strolling along and be slow for no reason. I agree on the scariness, after a certain point you just get a certain "if it bleeds we can kill it!" mentality, and it just becomes things in corners or behind doors popping out, the tensions and atmosphere of fear was really lost, but then I suppose that's pretty hard to get encourage that kind of attitude without making the player powerless

Short of going the Friday The 13th route and giving you nothing but rocks to throw, the fear effect really won't last once you start powering up all those awesome weapons.

I think the fright needs to come more from the environment than from the enemies. Dead Space is unmistakable degrees of magnitude better than Doom 3, but fuck if Doom 3 didn't get the horror aspect right. Even the [spoiler?] zombie level in Uncharted was a better example of horror in gaming. I'm not saying that Dead Space wasn't great, I'm just saying I hope they make it scarier.

And, seriously, I really do think those sticky-floor segments should be omitted. As The Dark Wayne / The Rurouni said, they are "20 seconds of FAIL" - they just aren't enjoyable and add little-to-nothing to the game. The main problem is that after you clear a room with the sticky floor if you want to do any exploring you're stuck at a snail's crawl. God forbid you want to backtrack through the room; it's misery. Maybe we can have a middle ground and somehow sci-fi-babble away the sticky floors after the battle.

As for RE5... meh. It was decent. That is all.

yeah re5 was a huge step back from the awesomess that was re4. not saying re5 was bad but it wasnt great.

Agreed. It's almost like RE5 never really stood a chance. RE4 was mind blowing. One of the best games that generation, if not the best game. RE5 had a lot to live up to. Like you said, it wasn't bad or anything, just not really what I think most people were hoping for. A step back, indeed.

uh....zing?

If "love is blind", and "God is love"...

Stevie Wonder is God?

If all you need is love and love is a battlefield, then all you need is a battlefield?

makes sense. after all, love hurts.
