"Dead Space Review" | Kip Reacts to MandaloreGaming

Issac: "I'm an Engineer." Hammond: "Great, I need you to handle a 12 megaton Nuclear Warhead that is unstable."

[@MaskedSongbird]

As someone who went to school for mechanical engineering and heard a lot of "fix everything" jokes from people who don't know or understand that there are multiple types of engineering disciplines, I felt this on a spiritual level.

[@TheNamesDust]

If i recall rightly the reason the devs went so overboard with "cut off their limbs" back in the day was because playtesters literally couldnt figure out how to not die or run out of ammo so the devs effectively put in a big neon sign. That was how different it was back then from cod or even resident evil, even looking back it looks like a minor difference.

[@araamahasla555]

CoD sure, RE definetely not. RE 1-2-3 doesnt let you aim at all and RE 4 have a limb damage system as solid and important as Dead Space.

[@bcd32dok36]

It’s still didn’t help because people are stupid and refuse to listen to a telling them what to do.

[@VulgareS_]

I definitely agree with you on the game hammering it in how you have to go for the limbs. You would be surprised how many newcomers to the series still shoot them in the body despite having 3-4 messages telling them the opposite

[@217adaptiveperspective]

It's not helped that body shots CAN kill Necromorphs eventually

[@OrionDawn15]

@@217adaptiveperspective Yeah. *Eventually.*

[@217adaptiveperspective]

@@OrionDawn15 I think I figured that out in NG+ when my maxed out pulse rifle dropped one in a few seconds with body shots That's not even getting into the Seeker Rifle in 2 just dropping them like ragdolls and two shotting enhanced Slashers on Zealot, or the nonsense in 3

[@OrionDawn15]

@@217adaptiveperspectiveI swear, 3 almost entirely trivialized limb shots, the gunsmithing is so broken yet so good.

[@217adaptiveperspective]

@@OrionDawn15 As far as I know Necromorphs still have the same health and stuff as before, but the guns are so collosally overpowered that by lore standards you're vaporizing the fuckers or ripping them to literal shreds

[@helloScuffed]

Maybe it's just my impression, but don't you think that the user interface is integrated into the game world in such a way that focuses our gaze on the area of the screen close to Isaac body, making it easier for necromorphs to come at us from behind or from the side?

[@johnarcher6150]

Yes, that's on purpose, because in universe, why would you need to extend the peripheral vision of your screen any more than say, a phone, which is attached to your suit.

Dead Space has some really cool aspects. I actually just finished off the last achievements for the remastered version earlier this week (some of those glitches are still there. I got teleported to a floating blank square in the middle of the void listed as a part of the tutorial from the Mining deck elevator at one point) and it was quite fun to run through it on Impossible mode. The redesigned enemies look really cool and the DS2 mechanics slipped in work so well with the formula. Even though this first one is forever the original, DS2 was an excellent addition which really perfected the formula. Dead Space 3 really was a shame. In regards to necromorphs, all that's cut apart is simply regathered later, mainly into the Corruption or into things like the components of the Divider or those little hand things. This is also why taking both arms off of a slasher invariably kills it instantly, even enhanced ones which usually take three to kill - without blades they can't actually _do_ anything. Same with lurkers, though they don't really have much else to remove at all. Any dismembered torso on the ground could split its ribs into centipede legs and keep chasing you after a while. Kinesis in 1's remake is still very present. Vent fans can be thrown, and every single vent drops either one or two, and they will instantly sever a limb they hit. Blades can be thrown but only deal moderate damage, though cutting one off and throwing it back will still instantly kill any non-enhanced slasher or pregnant. Those medical-esque rods that you can break off of shelves will one-shot nearly any normal enemy, only brutes and enhanced necromorphs tend to stand the hit from it (not lurkers, though, normal ones die from even a slasher blade) and many rooms have pipes you can yank right off the walls and immediately use for a similar amount of damage. Sometimes they'll work for two uses. It's a very powerful system, regardless of how toned-down they make it.

[@DepressedCrow]

I still find it mindboggling how well OG dead space holds up despite being from 2008

[@RealWorldGaming]

12:20 Tbf players don’t read and waste ammo by shooting the head anyway

Mr. T from Resident Evil....that's a mod i haven't seen yet.

[@warman602]

careful what you say you don't want summon the OSHA death squad

[@FubukiTheIcyKing]

May i recommend you check out his Limbo of the Lost.....showcase. It's a trip.

[@Haru-spicy]

Probably my least favorite part of Dead Space is Unitology. Not because it's an evil cult - it does the evil cult thing well. But Space-Scientology is really hard for me to take seriously as a villain (even knowing everything I do about the real Scientology and its incredibly shady doings). It's too grounded and too much of an obvious stand-in, like the final boss is going to be Tom Cruise with a javelin gun.

[@warlerker]

"Mr. T from Resident Evil." Yo which game is that. I gotta have it.

[@40kconquest10]

Dragging the latter is against ochea rules also your bottom horns are below ochea length for ear safety

I got a Vid you're gonna like Kip. Slimecicle's take on Dead Space.

[@spooknukem1177]

U can generally tell when an old game is good because they tend to follow the motto of " constraints breeds creativity" Bro u gotta watch the thing movie the John carpenter one not the new piece of shit it's from memory all tension and release and tones of SUS with no jump scares

[@angela_eric]

Love your content, but dead space photage effs with my eyes. Im not normally photosysetive but this set me off.

[@Sin_Shadow_Fox]

60fps is a visual downgrade and causes your PC to double if not quadruple the load on your processor. I saw what hardware that could run 60fps looked like when displaying something at 60fps and everything looked like it was being fast-forwarded and triggered my uncanny valley response. If there is a pinnacle of fps then it's either 30fps or somewhere between 30fps and 60fps (more than likely on the low end)
