Dead Space series' price dismembered on Steam

@PapytendoI know what you mean. i bought Mass effect for both XBLM & STEAM. I just can't seem to get into the game, I got bored with it. Funny thing is, I want to buy Mass Effect 2 from both STEAM & XBLM.

@Papytendo

Maybe you should restart. I didn't appreciate Batman much but I re-installed it after a wipe and had another go at it; boy was I in need of that second opinion.

@Papytendo
Same. My girlfriend bought into the hype and I watched her play it for 15-20 minutes before I got bored of it. She gave up not long after and we went back to Team Fortress on our macs.
I'd like to get into it because it's highly rated and I'd like to see what others see. But it didn't scare or excite anyone in our house.

@Banksyliveraa

what the...? yes, it's not really that scary, but getting bored in the first 15-20 minutes?
last time i played it, this happend in the first 15-20 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-gjWslmh1E

@Banksyliveraa

I know what you guys are talking about.

This one time, a shrill sound of laughter and of amused voices--voices of men, women, and children--resounded in the street while this wine game lasted. There was little roughness in the sport, and much playfulness. There was a special companionship in it, an observable inclination on the part of every one to join some other one, which led, especially among the luckier or lighter-hearted, to frolicsome embraces, drinking of healths,
shaking of hands, and even joining of hands and dancing, a dozen
together. When the wine was gone, and the places where it had been
most abundant were raked into a gridiron-pattern by fingers, these
demonstrations ceased, as suddenly as they had broken out. The man who had left his saw sticking in the firewood he was cutting, set it in
motion again; the women who had left on a door-step the little pot of
hot ashes, at which she had been trying to soften the pain in her own
starved fingers and toes, or in those of her child, returned to it; men
with bare arms, matted locks, and cadaverous faces, who had emerged into the winter light from cellars, moved away, to descend again; and a gloom gathered on the scene that appeared more natural to it than sunshine. Then we went and played Dead Space and were like "meh."

"My girlfriend bought into the hype and I watched her play it"

ooohh, there is the problem...you don't watch this kind of game.
you have to play it...alone...in a dark room....in the middle of the night...with closed headphones/really good 5.1system...and so on
you have to completely immerse yourself without any outside influence

@Dance Mofo I'm glad I'm not the only one. I've had ME1 for a couple years and have not been able to fully get into it despite everyone raving about it. I got ME2 for my bday last year and haven't touched it, but I'm more excited to try that out than to finish my first playthrough of ME1.

@Papytendo One of my friends tried to get me and another friend into it, so me and the other friend took turns playing. It was late, lights off, etc. Yet all we could do was laugh hysterically at how dumb and absurd the whole thing one. IMO, it tries waaaay too hard, and just doesn't succeed at it. That's just my opinion though.

@Golgo13 I'm afraid you'll like ME2 better than ME1. Even though it has been said to finish the first game in order to carry over your saved progress to the second.

@Dance Mofo I know how you feel. I feel the same about Fallout.
I love RPGs, but I never got into Fallout for some reason.

@Papytendo
Glad to see I'm not entirely alone. I've tried to make it through twice feeling like the problem was with me. I accept that other people love it but personally? I didn't find it any "scarier" or better than RE5, which is maligned about as much as Dead Space is praised.

@Super Famicom - So what your saying is that it scared the "dickens" out fo you???

@melao yeah you know as well. I tried several times but ended up quitting. I will try to play ME1 when I get my ASUS laptop. By the way, hard for me to play Fallout as well... hahaha

@BrianH
only the first 2 hours or so

@(Unverified)

Still havent even done 2 hours on the first one, don't have the heart for it.

@BrianH

Now, now. "Scary" and stressful" are too different things. But then again, I'm basing these on demos, to be honest. Could be wrong.

@Shadowbender

I don't know how to classify it, but the scariest thing i can handle is half-life and such.

I simply do not deal well with random shit jumping out of vents ALL THE TIME

@BrianH
i feel you
but you get used to it (still can't handle amnesia, but you don't try to run a marathon, when you only learned to walk)
between you and me: there was a time, when tomb raider gave me the creeps...but don't tell anyone

@(Unverified) - There was a time when I had to have my sister complete the portions of Ocarina of Time that featured zombies. I feel all of your pain. The shriek they make is still enough to give me goosebumps.

@xiLeShadow

Try Amnesia.

@tBanzai

Already beat it a lot time ago...Good Game and Good Length for it being a Small Project.

I'm referring to big budget horror games. They is a lack of them.

@xiLeShadow

There*

@Hunter141072
Told you so.

@Hunter141072 YES! Now your comment is appropriate for this article. It wasn't for EA STORE!

@Hunter141072

I'm guessing tomorrow is a battlefield day, hopefully

@Mr Esc is the namesarcasm is my

The ONLY reason to not find this awesome is because you don´t have enough time to play crysis and both dead space games, no other thing possible.........

@Hunter141072

CAllllleeed it, battlefield day

@RaxQ

It is not that scary at all though. After a while, you can already sense where they are going to come from. It is like a movie and you know exactly what is going to happen.

The game is pretty predictable.

@KIRBY SMASH Me too! I just started the second one thanks to this deal on steam but I got to say I liked the opening on the first one more. I think these DS games are offering way more suspense then where RE is going.
