As a total Dead Space junkie, I gotta say this really scratched my itch for this whole franchise. Love the content!

[@Ohem1]

Despite what 3 turned into I still had fun with the coop and particularly enjoyed the side missions and the environments, and the crafting. Reading and listening about the lore of Tau Volantis and its former inhabitants, made the ”world” of Dead Space feel less lonely, not alone fighting the Brethren Moons. It’s unfortunate the lacking horror, the stupid love triangle, uninteresting characters, the unworthy passing of Santos. The DLC rectified the horror aspect and was quite enjoyable, but the ”hey maybe we died but who cares” at the start was off-putting. Edit: And oh, Simon Templeman is always golden.

I only played coop in the game once really and it ended up some guy staying in a room with me being afk for a total of about an hour, so I quit and never played again.

[@MasterJunior93]

Yeah, you'll come across those.

[@Kiyosuki]

I remember playing this with a friend on the initially hardest difficulty right off the bat and it was quite an experience. A lot of people to this day have no idea about the Carver specific hallucinations and content, as well as the specific experiences of the two in the dlc. It's really a game that was meant to be played co-op. I do get it, I was lucky in a way that I got to experience that while many others, used to the previous games being solo adventures, had to get what really seems like a third of the total experience if playing the third game solo and that in itself is a problem. That said though, it was a unique experience, even if then still ultimately not what it could have been (the player playing Issac has a far less hallucinations and visions than the player using Carver for instance.) but it did cap off the Dead Space series as a more pleasant memory for me than it seemed to for others. While there are elements that are half baked or rushed, with a lot of things happening off camera (for one, the state of EarthGov seems really bad by even the beginning of the game but there's very little attention given as to how and why it got to this point. DS 1 and 2 had the benefit of a multitude of complimentary material to fill in the inbetween stories but other than a comic detailing Carver's history a bit, 3 didn't seem to get that same treatment.) there was a lot about 3's story that I really liked. The entire scenerio with the Sovereign Colonies was really interesting, and explained how there seemed to be such a gap in knowledge on the Markers from the distant past to the present, and I liked everything that had to do with the unknown aliens...suggesting that whatever is happening to humanity has happened many times before, with even more advanced civilizations being lured into a cosmic horror trap essentially. It is unfortunate things ended here. As fun as the DLC is, I personally consider it an apocryphal what-if (the mysterious and miraculous recovery of Issac and Carver even being lampshaded by the story itself. The whole thing is almost dream like. ), the story of DS coming to a conclusive end with its original ending. It's just easier to take, since the eternal cliffhanger is really painful. If they ever do revive the series with a 4th game (and it's hopefully good) I'll gladly change that outlook, but it's been a long time. Unless that changes, the story of DS concludes on Tau Volantis for me. Thanks so much for these full histories, they've been great listens for the past few months and you've obviously worked very hard on them. The greater plot of DS is far more vast than a lot of people who just played the main games realized, so it's great to have it all summed up by these videos so more can appreciate all the work that was put into fleshing out this grim series.

[@elijahvelasco8963]

I think the point about Isaac not having as many hallucinations as Carver is that he already conquered that in the 2nd game with him forgiving himself for not being able to save Nicole.

When I first played DS3, I hated it. The horror aspects felt weak and the scaling felt stilted, notably dealing with regenerators early in the game. The whole thing just felt off and a far cry from it's predecessors. As such, I dropped the game right after getting planetside. I regret that now. Now I understand the shift in tone and actually love it. In the first game, Isaac is just an engineer in way over his head trying to get through a literal nightmare, and despite the odds, he does. He adapted and pushed himself to survive, but a part of him was broken in the process. In the second game, we spend a large portion of the game addressing the psychological damage the Aegis 7 left with Isaac. His mind is infected by the Marker, slowly but surely stripping away his sanity and killing him. The corrupted government is using that damage and knowledge for their own ends and tormenting him in the process. But throughout the game we get Isaac's parallel in Strauss, and see what happens if Isaac succumbs to the madness. Instead, he fights through it. He finds answers, challenges the madness of Unitology and his own insanity. He even get his Marker induced psychosis cured to a degree in one of the most stressful and teeth clenching moments in my history of gaming. When the Sprawl incident is concluded, Isaac has literally faced his demons, defeated them, and is moving forward. The experiences have left him permanently damaged and jaded, but he's learned to cope with that and utilize his skills to their fullest. Now in Dead Space 3 we see the culmination of his experiences. He is a distrustful, jaded and somewhat spiteful person, stuck watching as his efforts ultimately go to waste as Unitology takes over humanity. However, he's come out of the crucible of his trauma the resident expert on all things Necromorph and Marker. When I realized that, the tone change felt natural. In the first two entries in the series, Isaac is terrified and on the defensive most of each incident, struggling to cope with what's around him. By now, it's a part of his life that he's confident in dealing with, if still not comfortable. Necromorphs don't hold that same nail biting terror anymore, and he's become a good enough fighter that combat against them comes naturally. So of course the chilling horror has been replaced with action, as Isaac has transformed from reactive victim to a literal man of action. As I said in the beginning, I never finished DS3, though I know the gist of what happens. Now with the remake announced, I intend to go through the saga again, and play through DS3 fully. Anyway, thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.

Dude let me just say i played DS1 Skipped DS2 mostly and played the fuck outta DS3 and from my experience 3 is my favorite from what i did play i was like eleven when i first played the series and im twenty four now but the third Game is still my favorite because of the ending of it but i hope the series isnt Dead after 3 because a new gen dead space game would be wonderful

[@RantingRagingRelks]

@@aaroniscool7521 they're doing a next gen reboot of the original. From what I've seen, it looks really good and will hopefully kickstart a new saga of Dead Space

[@aaroniscool7521]

@@RantingRagingRelks I know they are I'm really excited about it tbh I loved Dead Space but I'm happy your gonna give it another try because three in my opinion is the perfect conclusion to the trilogy honestly speaking to me it's alot like Mass Effect 3's ending. Alot of people hated it sure but you know I feel as an artist myself not everybody is gonna be satisfied with the ending no matter how hard you try to make it perfect but that's what gaming is about you know the most important thing to any game is that you don't abandon what you want to do just to please the majority of the fan base that's how you ruin games because mass appeal can ruin a franchise at it's worst and at it's best it makes it better but I couldn't have asked for a better ending to either because to me both ending make sense and are the perfect conclusion to both trilogies

Dead Space 4 would've been great had EA let visceral do what they wanted to do

[@penzorphallos3199]

What was the general concept for 4?

[@doomslayer1210]

The concept was you would survive day to day. Going to spaceship like in DS3 but on a much grander scale. Scavenging resources Having Issac use more of his engineering skills. More intricate Zero-G battles. And this part is only speculation but I’d image the end game is to find a way to kill all those dang moons.

[@michaelkoutek807]

@@doomslayer1210 One of the concepts was that Issac would use a planet cracker to kill the moons one by one, and ending the marker scourge forever.

One issue I always had with the moons basically teleporting behind Earth. If Humanity has the ability to planet crack then what kind of offensive options does it have against a stellar object sized target? Just how many Cobalt Bombs does it take to ruin a Blood Moons day? But then again I suppose you can hand wave that away with them phasing in around earth and psyically rending humanity so such options become null and void.

It’s definitely not the best of the three. But I would give it a 7 outta 10. The combat is a bit unreal at times. But the weapon combinations you can make up can definitely come in handy at times. The game just lacks that dead space feel of helplessness and hopelessness.

The character change of Carver is very jarring and forced in the end. I mean before in the game, he lets that woman get killed by cutting the cable ( being utilitarian ) but in the end doomed everyone to save Ellie and why? For the sake of love? He was through and through a utilitarian guy along the game and in the end it suddenly changes to humanitarian.

I love the story and the concept of dead space I bought the first game when I was 13 and boy oh boy what a journey that was. Now after so many years of waiting the franchise is getting a remake which I am sure it deserves I can not be any happier. There are however several things on my wishlist at least for the story, First I hope that they do the story justice similar to yours where they don't just forget about all the other games and media that are related, Second I hope that they can tone down that love triangle for this game because that was absolutely inconsequential to the overall plot and write a better character for Norton as to make him someone we can relate to more than just some ass who is getting in the way as well as improve on Carver, I love Carver as a character but I don't know it feels there's just something to be desired that I can't put my finger on. Third I wish that they can do extra media material like in the past two games with animations, and comics, I don't think we can count on smaller games but it would be nice or at least some more story DLC's which feature the extra characters throughout this amazing series. And Finally, this one is for DS 2 pls fix the Nicole model to look like her initial model.

[@dzalva1434]

I saw a video of someone trying to save Santos. The guy used stasis to slow the cage and the beast. Might've actually saved Santos. It's like Isaac would've been better off alone. Carver made the situations much, much worse than they needed to be, first dooming Santos, then the rest of humanity.

I think what was only in the dlc awakening , I cant remember that ending in the base game I love it as much as I hate it , really wanted a continuation of the series because there are so many directions it could go, for all we know issac is stuck on tau volantis and is hallucinating the end of DS3 while DS4 is a case of going to the source of the markers or discovering the true home world and or origin and ultimately destroying it , even if he died in a 4th installment it would make sense , to broken be fixed to unfixable to live

[@corbinfraley7922]

I wonder how effective a planet crack would be against the brethren

[@jaybrielrosales9191]

The unfortunate thing is that it might take a bit too long to actually be effective. Getting the ship close enough to the Moon, keeping it in place, activating the gravity tethers etc etc etc... It would be an incredibly difficult thing to pull off and even then it might not actually do much.

[@samgraffen9212]

Seems strange to me that one of the brethren moons was never unknowingly planet cracked, though they are fairly few in number and I imagine their would not be many valuable resources to humans on them, so probably ignored if they were ever scanned

[@jaybrielrosales9191]

@@samgraffen9212 planets are definitely scanned before being cracked or even considered for planet cracking.... but how nobody was able to scan a planet and see that it was made of organic material is beyond me.... I mean in truth they may not know what it is..
