Man the original concept for 3 would've been fantastic. It was supposed to focus on the mental illness of Isaac, giving the experience of the player playing as Isaac different views of shit than the person playing as Carver. EA said 'No one wants that' So they scrapped pretty much all of it. :(

There was an episode in horror series Fear Itself, where you follow Brianna Evigan's character during zombie apocalypse, and she's consistently stalked by her zombified bff\bf. At the end there's a twist where turns out she's actually zombie herself and she was actually killing the people, and people she perceived as zombies were actually normal people she was attacking, while "normal people" she seen were actually zombies. However, it' wasn't really that "deep", it was on very surface level, as this series was inferior follow up to Masters of Horror, and it was super shitty despite actually having big horror names attached to it. This episode in particular was directed and written by the guy who made most of those Saw sequels, so it's not like he was "green". Even some big names like Stuart Gordon and John Landis didn't really save the show.

[@ADistantImage]

The general in the prolouge wasn't being evil or villainous. He asked if the soldier loved the Earth, his mom, and his dad to verify that he would be willing to sacrifice himself to save them. When he responded yes that was a good enough answer on short time, so the general terminated him knowing they could never go back home without bringing the Marker's influence with them. He knew if the codex was used convergence would occur and the Earth would be eaten by the Brethren Moons

They discovered the marker and wanted to learn about it, sadly the marker is the marker and everything goes to shit, so they enact a protocol that would kill everyone that knew about the marker to save humanity. Sadly for them, that was nearly the entirety of their military and government, leading their foes to win and become current Earth gov. In a way, these guys were true heroes that sacrificed everything to ensure mankind's survival.

[@THEShinzuu]

In co-op, if you play a Carver, everything on Tau Volantis looks very different. The co-op only missions tackle his own troubled past with his dead son, and how the Marker takes advantage of that. One of the final co-op missions, you get a segment for Carver players get in mini boss fights similar to the final boss fight in the 1st and 2nd games. Twist is that only Carver fights those mini boss fights, and Isaac has to fight incoming necromorphs and protect Carver's body from extra damage. Carver's alternate vision helps players find secret items or other co-op missions because only he can see certain environmental items that clues you in. Also, in co-op missions, Isaac sees the environment as any other part of the game, but Carver sees a completely different map

I was lucky enough to be able to play coop with my buddy/roommate right when this came out. I was Isaac and he had Carver. It adds a lot to the experience. Carver is feeling the power of the makers and has frequent hallucinations regarding his dead family. Isaac almost takes on a mentor role helping Carver get past his hallucinations. Playing coop adds a lot to the characters. Also my favorite crafted weapon was a shotgun with underslung shotgun. Very potent.

[@DieNextInLINE]

I played DS3 entirely through co-op, as well. I remember playing as Carver, seeing birthday decorations all over the hallways and I was just like "What the fuck..." when I got attacked and my friend was just like "Dude what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you shooting at nothing". Getting that sense of losing it when you're trying to tell your friend everything you're seeing... Definitely a fun experience.

The coop missions were the best part personally. I remember reading somewhere that the Devs wanted that to be more integral to the main game and I'm sad that wasn't the case. It would have fit the insanity aspect of the markers well and coop horror is an underrepresented genre.

[@freedantheeternal]

Kind of sounds like the first Kane and Lynch, where being player 2, and playing as Lynch, was actually the better part of the game, since he suffered from frequent hallucinations, causing him to see a number of wild things, including innocent civilians as enemies and causing your natural shooter reflexes to cause you to play him "correctly," gunning down civilians in his "psychotic episodes" that the character was written to have.

The co-op stuff was full of REALLY cool ideas that weren't seen through to the finish. The 2nd player was supposed to see things only slightly different from Isaac at first but the game wouldn't mention it. Then slowly throughout the same what Isaac experiences and what Clark experiences were going to slowly diverge from each other so that the players playing would talk about their experiences and be like "that's not what I saw at all!" And it would make it seem like one of the two of you is slowly going mad because your experiences aren't quite lining up until eventually they're totally different and it leads up to a big reveal about Isaac's psyche or something. It seems like it was SUCH a cool idea that didn't get flashed out like they planned, because EA thought it was too experimental or weird. EA needs to learn to just publish the games and get TF out of the way on design choices. If it's not successful, just don't produce or publish the sequel. But don't ruin the thing before it even gets a chance!

I did some digging around in the game myself, and based on what I found, Norton seemed to be chill with Isaac from the start, understanding why Isaac went into hiding and wasn’t spiting him, it was only after they ventured to Tau Volantis’s surface that Norton turned hateful, he was out of his depth and he knew it, so I feel like he took it out on Isaac for the fact he sided with Ellie. It also seemed like he didn’t really sell out to Danik until they took the shuttle to the planet. Ultimately, Norton probably would’ve been fine with Isaac had they left back for Earth, but they didn’t.

Why, put him in a daytime soap love storyline, of course!" I mean, at this stage, he's been through everything else. Also, I kind of like the idea of discovering the secret origin of the Markers, and it kind of brings the Marker storyline from the previous games to a full circle.

The most interesting thing Dead Space 3 did was make co-op partners see different things during gameplay; not just having them in different gameplay areas, but cutscenes and dialogues that would play for one person but not the other.

I reckon replacing the coop with a dual perspective where Isaac and Carver swap roles periodically could work really well, or have Carver be the playable character in New Game + with new areas and a slightly modified story.

And here everyone grabs Isaac, and he takes off the helmet every time in front of Danik.

[@krullachief669]

@@youtube-kit9450 Yeah, they're genuinely stellar set pieces, they're just shit because they're co-op mandatory, instead of co-op optional. The other option of playing as Carver for those sections might be out of place for the series, but considering that it'd allow people playing solo only to actually get to know Carver and care about him as a character is appealing enough where the fact that the co-op is mandatory is just such a bummer. And that's including the fact that the co-op isn't actually that bad, it's just like a lot of the gameplay in being just slightly off and out of place.

3 is still a decent game, what's wrong with 3 is EA's obvious greedy influence on the game and complete lack of horror(I personally still found parts of the game scary)but I still think it was a good game with some really stupid decisions, like adding a roll like its dark souls, human enemies shooting at you, the Gun system being too messy(even though the huge amount of options is cool in its own way)as you're sometimes too underpowered and as you progress you become too overpowered chewing through enemies which makes no sense for a survival horror game but overall it shouldn't be called a 'bad' game when you can clearly feel the effort that went to the game by the developers.

[@FirstLast-cg2nk]

The bit with him surviving in space briefly without the helmet does make a certain amount of sense: While the ship is venting atmosphere, he is still surrounded by atmospheric pressure, even if it is quickly dispersing. It's not a sudden decompression, but rather a gradual, if swift, one. If he was ejected more swiftly, faster than the escaping atmosphere, he'd likely be in a great deal of trouble, but since he wasn't tossed with the initial breach, that would buy him a small measure of time.

[@justhere9731]

1:07:21 I feel like this game could’ve benefited from a lot more moments like this. Instead of having generic shoot outs, have the necromorphs come in and attack. They could’ve avoided a lot of complaints about it being a generic shooter this way. It’d be a great way of showing the necromorphs are a massive threat, as they easily dispatch people who are armed and armored the same way you are. Also, I played in coop, and Carver does generally improve overtime. There’s actually some really cool bits in coop where Isaac is having a schizo moment imagining himself doing something, while the person playing Carver has to pull double duty in a fight against necromorphs, protecting both themselves and the Isaac player.

[@VinceOliver04]

I think one of the greatest moments this game had were those when each player was suffering from their own hallucination. It even ties nicely to the lore by just how used to the Marker influence Isaac was by this point compared to Carver who can't tell what is real and isn't. Those Carver hallucinations especially on Tau Volantis were really neat and were a legitimate attempt to include horror to co-op where you typically won't get spooked since you have a friend laughing with you while mowing down space zombies. Should any developer want to create a story-based coop horror game I believe Dead Space 3 has some legitimate ideas they can consider even if said ideas are stuck under a pile of crap.

But for what the series originally was, obviously this title fails on all cylinders in the horror department. Unless you play the DLC. And a lot of the character storylines were just overly dramatic and nonsensical. The over arching plot I think fits the Dead Space world. But the character stuff just was incredibly weak which is sad to see after Dead Space 2 had a really strong cast that were all well written and had a place in the story. But yeah, this game from a visual and art direction standpoint is fantastic. It is probably the best realized hand crafted frozen planet setting I’ve seen in a video game.

@TantoPoint Yeah, I think the overarching narrative is perfect in terms of where the dead space storyline was heading but I think the character storylines and dialogue took a HUGE dip from the first 2 games with only the acting to back it all up and just made the story feel kind’ve mediocre. Which is sad because I thought Dead Space 2 had fantastic characterization and dialogue with some again, phenomenal performances. The gameplay also has a bunch of issues, mainly that it’s no longer a horror game but an action adventure thriller game and to feel any sort’ve difficulty, you need to put it on hard or higher to get any semblance of challenge.

First game: everyone goes crazy because of exposure to the marker, the marker manipulates them to try to reach convergence. Second game: we spend the whole game talking to Nicole and find out that, surprise surprise, the marker hallucination doesn't want to destroy it, but to achieve convergence and compels everyone who is exposed to it to try to reach convergence. Third game: "Oh look, it seems like the admiral was going crazy from the marker because this is all stuff we've seen before, but THIS time the marker was telling her how to destroy it surely!" Also, I was so disconnected from this game that I ended up spending the entire last third of the game noticing as I played it how stupid the characters were and yelling at them. In the scene where Isaac throws the codex to Dannik (or however you spell his name) I was yelling at Isaac to shoot him since Ellie was clear and he or Carver could have easily shot big D as he tried to start the machine, or afterwards and they could have reversed what he did, so many solutions, none of them taken.

As much as I don't like dead space 3 for quite a few things, you made a few mistakes. Carver was the one who threw the Codex to Danik, not Isaac. Isaac was fully prepared to let her die for the sake of everyone else if he had to, but Carver decided to save her. There was also no evidence to Carver or Isaac in the game that the captain was being influenced by the Brethren Moon/Marker on the planet when saying turn it off, just that they was going insane, which doesn't indicate a marker's tampering as that could have happened to anyone after seeing the horrors of the Markers (remember, there are people immune to the effects, Ellie being theorised to be one such person)

I think one of the worst parts about this game is how nonchalantly Isaac kills humans, but the 3 or so times he did in the first two games were always super powerful and shocked me to my core, I was horrified when Isaac killed Strauss. I always really love when he sneaks past those soldiers to send the necromorphs after them instead of facing them himself in DS2, it felt much more realistic as to what someone with his knowledge and experience would do, instead of just mindlessly shooting through them all like in DS3. But hey different strolks for different fokes I suppose.

[@Balls1335]

Dude’s been through hell and back while the humans he kills in the third are trying to kill him. By that point, he’s desensitized to the violence. It’s the same as veteran soldiers (fictional or not) being able to brutally kill anyone or anything that stands in their way.

[@TF2CrunchyFrog]

To be fair, when you've been through so much trauma, seen so much gore, suffering hallucinations, as Isaac, and now you're confronted with these Marker cultists who want to end the world and human civilization... why would you give a shit about having to kill them in self-defense? Sure, the cultists _look_ more human than necromorphs, but really, they are just as much of a threat. They're traitors to all life. They're religious madmen (and women). They want to unleash a Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror upon the galaxy. They have to be stopped, and they can't be reasoned with. If the cultists _were_ necromorphs, people wouldn't complain about DS3 feeling like a "military shooter" (did it really? I don't think so. Military shooters revolve around weapon and gear selection and tactics) but it would be seen as the same splatter survival horror like the previous 2 games.

Also, Carver was originally supposed to be a manifestation/Alter personality for Isaac; As Isaac mentally struggles with PTSD and Very Severe/ Repeated Traumatic events that were Caused by a Cosmic Parasitic entity of sorts. Carver role was to be the Harden Solider that never gave up/wavered on his mission. Also was able to make the hard/quick decisions; opposed to Isaac who is just a normal man. Who was at the wrong place and the Wrong time. Hes not in the army. He was not prepped to fight in a war psychical or mentally; let alone to fight Nightmare fueled monsters. He basically fought his way out of hell, as he watched everyone around him die. And struggling to Come to terms He might Die like everyone else and Not make a Difference...... But No Carver appears in some cutscenes in coop, but sometimes he doesn't even talk, or everyone acts like he isn't even there. Great example is When you have to close the door on Ellie as the gas will kill you if you dont. especially when all his Story is behind a COOP dor. Hurts to be playing alone :(

The two things I remember of this game are the mediocre enemy spawns and the fact, that you needed a snow suit because your space suit, which protected you from the cold in space (around -270 degree celsius), suddenly was not able to handle the approximately -70 to -100 degree. The enemy spawns were so bad because it felt like every time you encountered an enemy you could be sure that also one spawned behind you.

[@raphaelmarche4544]

I actually really enjoyed Dead Space 3. It was a nice change of pace after the first two games being more focused on the horror side. And even if I played the whole game on singleplayer I wasn't bored at all. I know everybody thinks about this game differently, but I actually had fun while playing it. Although I agree with the overpowered weapons point, but you still can craft some of the classic weapons if that's what you like. And for me, the reason why Dead Space 3 is not much of a horror game as the other 2 games is because Isaac already knows these creatures. Isaac's already been through this hell 2 times, he knows what to expect and so do we as players. People would know to expect enemies suddenly jumping out of the vents or even corpses magically coming back to life and stabbing us in the butt.

Having played 1&2 but never 3, the overall story of this game seems pretty neat, but that's ultimately kind of the problem, is that we get to see the potential of the game, knowing full well that so much of the tension that makes the experience memorable for the player is diffused by the turn towards an action FPS, while also taking half the cast (Carver) out if you don't have a friend with you. While I love co-op, and I like the effort to make it actually part of the story instead of just an add-on. That said, it should have had a bot play as carver as still allow you to do all those things and have those interactions without a physical 2nd player. One parallel that I notice here is the possibility of indoctrination that appeared in the Mass Effect series

DS3 is awesome game. Not perfect but much better that DS1. It was reviewbombed for no reason.

I think the other problem that Visceral struggled with, is that it's obvious they did not want to make another ds1 or 2, which is why this game is quite different. If they had wanted to make another pure horror entry, they would have needed an entirely new protagonist and set the events of that game somewhere between the 1st and 2nd. Just doesn't make sense for Isaac to be an necromorph killing machine but still be afraid of them.

3's not bad, certainly not as good as 2 or 1 this video is playing it up for outrage clicks which I find about as sleazy as microtransactions.

Watching this for the 3rd time since last week. Honestly upsets me how they split the story between co-op, made the guns no longer unique, and the abandoned systems thanks to EA suits wanting to give the watered down experience they're known for killing studios over.

When you have to chase Danik after Ellie’s “death” and encountered necros and goons at the same time, I just ran past and onto the lift and watched as the goons screamed as the stalkers massacred them. Some things in this game were really cool.

I played this game fully co op on release and Carver is certainly more of a character. The Co Op only areas have some dialogue, and a few neat tricks that drive home the insanity of the relics by having Isaac and Carver seeing different enemies and only one set is real. Shame that you miss out on all of those interesting mechanics in solo play.
