  • Alright, I gotta hand it to them; this is by far one of, if not THE DUMBEST THING I’ve ever fucking read. It takes SKILL, DEDICATION, AND HARD WORK to be THIS fucking stupid. I’m genuinely impressed at how hard they’ve worked to divorce themselves from reality, it’s truly a marvel of cognitive restructuring. I’d say there’s no way they can top this, but we all know that they’ll find one in the next month, and it’ll make me question my sanity once again. Congratulations.












  • Dead Space is one of those series where the first 2 games set the expectations UNBELIEVABLY high. So high, in fact, that the developers were actually terrified they couldn’t live up to the legend, and were terrified they were gonna make a bad game that ruined the series. But they were gonna try their damndest.

    And then EA executives came along, and they saw that “”“all the rage”“” those days was in Co-Op action shooters a-la Resident Evil 5/6 and Army Of 2, or Gears of War, and they DEMANDED that Dead Space 3 be “”“more like that”“”, or else. So they did it, and were also forced to shove microtransactions into the game with crafting materials.

    The end result? Dead Space 3 was an… alright 3rd-person action-horror co-op shooter. Not great, not terrible, but… alright. An above-average shade of mediocre, certainly worth playing on its own merits, both mechanically and plot-wise, but not much more than that. A perfectly OK game.

    And an absolutely TERRIBLE Dead Space game. Previous installments sold millions on multiple platforms. DS3… didn’t, and it ended up killing the studio.
