A Completely Accurate Summary of Dead Space 2023

[@Canada407]

I've never experienced having no ammo during a tentacle part before. I think you're the first to not Will

[@Kristyybug]

This why people don’t get other weapons. That and the plasma cutter is the best lololol

[@clearlywrong6520]

@@Kristyybug It is. Over how the original worked, it now has even more damage and a melee option which can knock anything short of a brute flat on its ass. Then there's maybe the contact beam which can two-shot a brute without upgrades and the line gun for setting up really good traps, but those are really the two I'd consider sporting when I wasn't going for achievements. The pulse rifle no longer has any stopping power for stunlock kills, the flamethrower does show the peeling system but isn't as effective as just shooting them with the plasma cutter, same with the ripper as is the flamethrower, and the force gun was always a support weapon to begin with.

[@mbizzlesnizz]

Agree - even on hard I had plenty of ammo for a precise enough weapon to kill the tentacle

[@banterlegends5347]

Literally as long as you pace your shots, buy ammo with spare change every so often, and don’t be careless with it ammo is a nonissue unless you’re actively trying or need a dose of Git Gud. (Speaking from experience in DS2 Hardcore)

[@Crimnox_Cinder]

this entire video boils down to one simple phrase: "skill issue." but on a lighter side i really do love the commentary.

[@Romrojal]

Would you believe me if I said the reason they repeat Cut off the Limbs so often was because the QA testers missed the giant blood written "CUT THE LIMBS" on where you get the Plasma Cutter so they had to add another hint... and they missed that one too and thus more hints to cut the dammed limbs of damnit. oh and... I don't really know about the save stations but I think in an anime that takes place prior to Dead Space a charaacter actually uses it to record something so maybe they are video recording stations? I dunno but that's my best guess

[@Solkard]

In short, yes. They literally had to repeatedly tell you to “CUT OFF THE LIMBS” because people are idiots.

[@caolkyle]

As a QA myself, more hints are better as you will meet soooo many idiots or people with difficulties that would struggle with basic things like certain colour text on different background colours etc

The pedestal you place the marker on at the end of the game is supposed to extend the dead space field that the necromorphs Can’t enter around the marker to cover the whole planet putting all the necromorphs into a hibernation kinda .That’s how they sealed it up the first time.

[@Xenobears]

And they do explicitly state that in the game-but our player here didn’t seem to be into the lore, so they didn’t pay attention to the logs that explain this (or didn’t find the log, they probably didn’t do a great job of exploring if they were constantly running out of ammo). Or it might be a gag for exaggeration’s sake. The player made frequent claims of “I know how to play this game!” While shooting at the body instead of going for limbs. I assume for comedic effect. I also wondered at all of the bugs they encountered-never had anything like the respawning nuke happen on any of my play throughs.

[@Williaso]

That's what the Marker tells Kyne, who tells Isaac. That doesn't mean it's the truth of the matter

[@abyse937]

It’s also based off the canonical lore that was released like a decade ago what’s been tweaked? I got no clue, but that is the original answer for the original dead space game released a decade or so ago. There’s also like three movies that explain it to you if you want to go look into it.

[@Williaso]

@@abyse937 I've talked to Dead Space lore nerds and they've said that it remains unexplained, despite the amount of media related to it.

[@dudgemcfreely1346]

I’ve always wondered the same thing about the safe points until I realized that they could be punchcard machines that have to take a photo of you to make sure that you’re the one who punched yourself out of work. Like some part-time and blue-collar jobs still use digital punch machines or apps to record your start and end of the day if you’re a wage worker (I was in a construction union at one point the foreman would account for us, and that would be our pay) so because the ishimura Is such a massive ship that it needs a bar several cafeteria, a bio, Wing, etc etc, I would guess it’s a common occurrence for workers to leave work early and have someone else punch out for them.

[@commander144]

[@brianirwin8111]

There is a density of jokes per minute in this video that's really hard to execute without getting off-topic. Very impressive writing and delivery, well done.

[@RhavoX]

The problem with what Isaac did is that the marker wanted to go there. It wasn't known at first but the marker pedestal can amplify its influence. What happened is that it manipulated Isaac into thinking that bringing it back will save humanity and the infection would stop, it didn't have that big of an area of effect to actually affect humanity in a way it wanted to (that includes Isaac). So when Isaac brought it back it imprinted his mind with its schematics. In normal people this causes insanity (hearing whispers, seeing weird shit etc.) but in highly intelligent beings it causes an obsession to understand the symbols and try to build another marker (and this is exactly what happens in DS2). So by bringing it where it wanted Isaac brought humanity closer to destruction. Daniels was the good gal here, she also saw through Isaac and didn't want to leave the marker with him (he was talking to his clearly dead girlfriend - he was too gone at this point, you can even see that she seems sad when she hears about that). Oh and the something at the end is the marker's EMP, they do that when they are activated. It knocked the tethers offline so the payload dropped into the planet.

[@SageofStars]

I'm more annoyed because this franchise DOES have a nailgun as a weapon, that's just not it. That's more of a power saw, laser edition.

[@KevinRoboticsEDU]

17:45 Williaso should get himself tested for the Metagene. Clearly his superpower is breaking video games! Not sure how useful that'll be in fighting crime, but hey, the Legion of Superheroes let Matter Eater Lad, Detachable Kid, and Bouncing Boy join. So why not Sir Glitch-a-Lot?

[@plaguedoctorjamespainshe6009]

I always tought those save stations are for checking in and out of your work

[@chrono1728]

I don't know if anyone has noticed or pointed out but. At the start of the game when you first encounter scary stuff, Issac's heart beats loudly. It was in the little toilet stall when I first stomped a corpse that i noticed it. But it stops by the end... Or everything was too loud to hear it.

[@thesixthkid7689]

I noticed. It does it if you sprint for long periods of time too. Not as fast as being attacked but still very noticeable.

[@mbizzlesnizz]

In the original, I did think the ripper was useless, but in this game you can use it to stun-lock most enemies to death. Most of the time you are not facing more than 1-2 enemies at a time as well, so it actually is somewhat useful (and fun) in this game compared to the original.

[@Barad-Dur_IsACapitalOfMordor]

The ripper always was best damage per ammo spent weapon. Usually for impossible run you want one precision weapon (cutter), one crowd control (line gun or force gun, preferably both) and the ripper as way to conserve ammo because everything takes so much to kill. In the remake the ripper is very good weapon in terms of damage per ammo but outclassed by flamethrower paired with pulse rifle - ordinary slasher takes two bursts and two shots to get it down.

[@doomslayer1210]

The flamer is actually OP in the remake.

[@Snomrade]

It took me way too long to realize you were saying greeble instead of griddle when referring to the armor

[@itsdantaylor]

23:27 I think in both the remake and original the 'wizard' wanted to take it back to 'federation space' but Issac and his ghost GF overrode the navigational computer of the shuttle from the ishimura to send it back to aegis VII so they could return the marker. The final level is just just Daniels and Isaac playing forklift tug of war with the maker. I think it's implied that the marker only has a set radius and so if they removed the marker from the planet, the creatures would go inert again so I think the marker just wanted to keep the marker there so the monsters could keep on monstering, and then issac at the last minute dropped a giant rock on it...........i mean the marker there, would probably have the secondary effect of luring more people to the planet to absorb but I'm just speculating at this point.

[@thesixthkid7689]

Kyne was saying that putting the Marker back would lock up the Hive Mind, like a lock and the planet is the prison. The fact that the Hive Mind can telepathically manipulate the necromorphs proves that if the Hive Mind goes down so does the necromorphs, or at the very least they'd be mindless killers rather than coordinated by collecting corpses to infect. Here's my speculation. The Black Marker, which is Alien, was reverse engineered like Daniels said, but was made from scratch on the surface of Aegis 7 a few years after Unitology was formed and the Church of Unitology was formed like 2 or 3 centuries prior to the Dead Space storyline. What I'm saying is that the people who originally made the Red Marker centuries ago turned insane as a result and "became whole", becoming the Hive Mind Isaac killed at the end.

[@brendantighe6327]

I believe the reason the marker is returned is because when on the pedestal, the signal is amplified so it can encode intelligent humans with the instructions to build another marker. Someone else’s theory is that the marker needs to assimilate the maker during convergence to work, hence why the game’s marker can’t do convergence. It’s last ditch effort is likely to encode either Kyne or Isaac and have them build their own for convergence, hence why it wants to return 23:31

Pretty sure the marker wants to go back to the planet to complete the convergence event that it initiated when the first research team first arrived centuries ago The final boss is an incomplete brethren moon

[@BurnedHydra]

No... spoilers ahead: The marker copies need to consume their creators, but because they are no there and died a long time ago, it cannot complete convergence. So it wants to get back to it's pedestal to amplify it's signal and imprint the marker blueprint to anyone who is smart enough.

The reason why the marker needs to be returned is because it has an eye of a storm effect on the neckromorphs and when it’s put on a pedestal on the planet it expands that so put the whole planet to sleep. The doctor explained this earlier in the game

[@Williaso]

Do you think you could find where they say that? I couldn't find any mention of it in my playthrough.

[@longliveyheking98]

Which is all a lie the marker told the doctor so it would take it planet side. Because you can’t start convergence inside a space ship.

It’s pretty clear by the time Kyne dies that he’s being manipulated by the marker and if the dormancy field thing was even true remotely the Hive Mind would’ve stayed in his little crater and died like a good little necromorph. And the second guy is also wrong because you can start convergence wherever the hell you want if there’s enough biomass, if it can happen on the Sprawl it can happen anywhere. No retcons either, even in the original, if you played extraction and watched the dumb movie it never actually gives a concrete answer as to why the marker wanted to go back to Aegis 7

[@johnspartan2096]

Ok this game doesn't really explain why the marker has to return to the pedestal because it's not a good thing for Isaac. The marker is using nicole vision to force Isaac to bring it back on his pedestal,this process allow the marker to implant fabrication code to a new marker in isaac brain,leading to DS2 event. Because the aegis VII marker is not very usefull,it can create a necromorph contagion but not achieve convergence because the only way a man made marker can achieve convergence is through the sacrifice of the builder. And the aegis VII marker builders are long gone so the marker is useless. Nicole eventually discover it and commit suicide because there is no hope or no end to the outbreak but you learn this only in NG+ nicole log.
