Isaac Clarke is one of the bravest and based protagonists in game history. The ampunt of absolute vile horseshit this man trudged through to survive and save humanity is goddamn mythical.

[@benjaminhubbard1805]

@E_S_Reloaded ​ Basically it’s an amalgamation of passive meanings, like having a free state of mind. Like for instance, not giving a hoot and saying whatever you’ll like. It also means incredibly Beautiful or Sexy/Hot. Like for instance “fit girls and tomboy’s are based”. It also means incredibly Strong/Powerful. Like for instance “World Strongmen Competitors are BASED versions of other power lifters.” It also means having an unbreakable will. Like for instance, Issac Clarke does absolutely everything within his capabilities as an engineer to survive space horrors beyond your most horrifying nightmarish dreams. Thes monstrous creatures hunt you relentlessly and to survive that you must be just as/or even more relentless and ruthless in to kill these creatures. In essence it’s whatever positive attribute or description you can make that fits closely to the other definitions I’ve described here.

[@goobermagoob9160]

@E_S_Reloaded the original meaning(as far as I can tell) is something that appeals to or adheres to far right political ideas, at least in 4chan. It has since devolved to mean “anything I think is good”.

Technically he doesn’t save humanity because he failed to reach earth before the brethren moons. His efforts were valiant though lol

[@desolate2703]

@E_S_Reloaded I completely agree. I see the “based” thing everywhere, and it annoys me too. Especially the single word replies, they just seem so useless on their own. Ah well, it’ll die out in a year or two.

[@umbralgaming3443]

I wouldn't say scared, more of terrified since the amount of shit he had to face head on. The fact that anything could end his life in an instant and the slightest laps in concentration could lead to a quick death is completely justified and yet, he didn't kill himself in fear of turning into a necromorph. Instead, he pressed on. He kept pushing, his will to survive was powerful and he wasn't going to take shit from the necromorphs, despite the fact that it is impossible that he'll be able to finish them off for good. Despite everything, he continues to fight, to fight against his destiny, the infinite struggle against the inevitable

[@thesunsson8836]

Nicely written, couldn’t have said it better myself.

[@TheTeddyZP]

Those last two sentences were in my head when I went back to 1 after playing 3. As much as I don't like 3, the fan-cannon ending that the Brother Moons won is very fitting for Dead Space. And playing the prior games with the new knowledge that for as triumphant as your victories felt the first time, you're, at best, delaying the inevitable, it makes everything feel so existentially hopeless in a way no other series has made me feel.

Sorry to say this but in DS2 Isaac was scared of going back into the USG Issimra. Chapter 10. Also the man bashing his head in in DS1 causes Isaac to react.

issac was always afraid, through all the games, any sane man would be, its just that he pressed on and fought despite his fear, thats what bravery is, to not let fear control your acitons the first game he was pushing his fear aside to find nicole, his lover the second game it was, perhaps out of spite of the necromorphs or, more likely, he knew of the necromorphs and was just doing it to survive, at first, then it was to save ellie the third game, again, to save ellie (ungrateful sod that she is) and the others in the crew, showed by when he was angry with carver for cutting the cord holding up the girl and the giant necromorph trying to get her for the most part it seems our boy issac is always fighting things that terify the hell out of him for the sake of others. hell, he only decided to go back into what he called a "suicide misson" after he heard ellie was in trouble (again)

Originally Isaac Clarke was made to be a silent protagonist that the player can project themselves onto. So it made sense that you didn't hear much from Isaac outside of a few grunts and shouts. But then in DS2 when they gave him a voice, it made his character immensely more funny and interesting to me due to the implication. Like, most games adds cutscenes or little lines of dialogue to remind you the character is terrified. Isaac Clarke's silence speaks volumes, when he steps into a ship filled with body dismorphing zombie parasite aliens and witnesses his friends being ripped apart and turned into a cannibalistic preying mantis khronanberg creature says "well, this shits fucked" stomps on its head and keeps going. He reminds me of that one guy that's been waiting for the Zombie apocalypse.

Isaac does get scared going back to the Ishimura. Nicole comments what he was feeling and was stuttering when talking to Ellie at one point and asked if he was alright.

[@icemanjr.5819]

Just like us he was scared all through it unless you meant “visibly scared”

[@Massimo-sn6sn]

Everyone: "I want Dead Space remake" Me: "I want Tucker Edwards spinoff"

[@kamespinosarojas9225]

I preffer this guy over doom guy... Feels humane and adds to the fear factor knowing even the hero is scared but tries to survive.

[@Mega_soko20]

If they ever made a Dead Space movie, I think Jake Gyllenhaal as Issac would be perfect.

[@lukejay5460]

He's probably scared the entire time. He's just a normal guy

[@1234wowww]

I never made the connection between the ending of one and the ending of two, well done!

[@a.j.m8264]

You know what’s funny? I remember back in 2008 just after the 1st game released. I went online to look up a play through of the game cause I didn’t have a current gen system, my parents would absolutely not have been okay with me getting that game and I had no means of purchasing it anyways. So, I get all the way to the end and the Nicole jumpscare happens… and everyone in the comments is basically like,”Yeah, that figures. I REALLY appreciate the fact that they killed him and he didn’t just escape in the end of such a grimdark game…” They made soooo many arguments for it too. He wasn’t wearing his helmet so he’s vulnerable. He threw his gun away so he has no weapon to defend himself from undead nicole. Ect. Ect. For 3 years, until the trailer for the sequal released, revealing to everyone that Issac Clark was in fact alive, I was literally the only person I knew that believed he’d survived. I’m sure there was plenty of people that understood that too, that it was actually a hallucination of her and not her reanimated corpse attacking him, but social media and KZbin were not what they are now.

isaac clarke is such a good character in general but also for this series. throughout all of the chaos and horror, isaac your character is surprisingly the most calm despite going through more than basically any other character.

[@dvshooligan868]

_With a slight hint of barely noticable fear, surprise, and disappointment_ "Aw shit, this one's regenerating" "How are you going to kill it?" _Audibly noticable fear_ *"I'M NOT!"*

[@BalgaBear]

Being an engineer is one of the most brutal jobs you can ask for in America.

[@jackthereaper5560]

I just love in the end of DS2 he even sighs in relief that's not an illusion

[@whosasking209]

This game is loved forever in my heart having same name as main character made the experience more terrifying and react in a panic

[@Aylesto]

I don't think Isaac was ever scared in the Dead Space 3. More like inconvenienced or annoyed. He'd already seen everything. Even for the player the game was also made easy because of the vacuously implemented weapon building system and universal ammo.

[@saltyshishkebab9447]

Isaac was scared to shit in both games 24/7, it’s just that he knew that he HAD to do all this crap in order to survive and that there were too many things at stake

[@epicwaba6424]

He’s scared shitless almost the entire first game, you can just tell from his body language

[@ryukastle1047]

I can't see how anyone wouldn't be scared like wtf this was a crazy experience

[@J-Rush]

Can’t wait for a dead space 2 remake so I can re-experience the trauma of the eye scene in 4K

[@AlbinoGorillaXX]

Isaac is just so much more badass to me, It doesn’t take balls or bravery to go through bad shit with super powers and abilities like Doomslayer or Master Chief. Isaac is just a regular dude doing his job, and still getting shit done.

[@nargie4414]

Depending on what your facing it still takes bravery

[@gamingcentral4730]

If you’re not scared about what you need to do, then you’re not right for what needs doing. Mike Tyson said he was terrified every time he stood in the ring, but also loved it. Being scared gives you an advantage, an unparalleled level of adrenaline, while also giving you the biggest rush of your entire life

[@lingricen8077]

1:23 Ellie: What? Isaac: Siiiigh nothing, I was hoping you would turn into a sexy necormorph and give me a big kiss like at the end of my last adventure.

[@BingBangPoe]

This is something I always liked about Dead Space. Isaac wasn't your typical badass protagonist who fears nothing. Dude was shitting his suit all the time.

[@matthewrobinson2831]

Isaac Clarke somehow physically survived but mentally he never left that ship off hell

[@calebstephens6059]

Bro imagine if Goku was in the needle machine and he couldn't break out he would have died from a panic attack.

[@Terror_Candles]

I absolutely love that brief moment we see Jacob just getting himself back together for a second and his heavy breathing gave me chills in the Callisto Protocol directors cut trailer. Glad to see we will see more shit like this

[@dinsdag6juli2010]

Yes thanks for adding that eye scene again, I really needed that lol

[@PretenderCS]

"Nobody went through more than Ellie in The Last Of Us 2"

[@hotfightinghistory9224]

Ellie looking at him and saying "what?!?" made me LOL more than it had any business doing :)

[@LittleFilmsMC]

the entire lot of the 3 games should be here

[@Z-Romello]

Doomguy: " RIP AND TEAR!!!" (A space soldier who kills demons in Hell) Masterchief: " We're just getting started." (A super soldier who fought The Covenant, The Flood, and Truth) Marcus Fenix: " FUCKING BRING IT!!!" (A soldier who is pissed off and strong as Hell) Isaac Clarke: " AW SHIT! NOT AGAIN!" (An unpaid engineer that went in at the wrong place at the wrong time and needs a HUGE ASS raise from his boss)

[@nioboi6036]

At least he got a one-eyed baddie in the end

[@eternallight523]

Isaac is just a guy, he is always scared shitless but he still pushes through.

[@bluelense7]

Forgot to mention his revisit to the Ishimura. "Last time I was here, things didn't go so well."

[@colers2366]

I love how in Dead Space 3 his reaction to being recruited by the marines is "You w0t"
