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 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

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.

[@hudsonaberdeen9695]

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.

[@isaacmayer-splain8974]

[@AndoryuFergardner]

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.

I mean I've only played the first game so my knowledge is limited but I assume it would take away from a horror aspect or small spaces might get annoying with puzzle elements dealing with a npc following around like a bumbling moron most likely.

[@dwatts64]

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!

[@ezrapitts3410]

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. The key that ignited the powder keg was seeing that Ellie was still kinda intimate with Isaac, he probably felt like Isaac was trying to rizz Ellie up.

[@KingKhanate1997]

Nah, Norton was a grade A douche in every manner of speaking. What Ellie could’ve seen in him at all that Isaac didn’t have, I’ll never know. They way she was written in DS3 was straight up character assassination.

⁠@@KingKhanate1997 It would have succeeded I think were it not a dead space title. Or at least done better.

1:15:24 this is actually a really cool and sort of sad detail. Markers have “dead space” (yes, THAT). A radius around the markers that repel necromorphs. You see it in dead space 2 at the climax, the marker is surrounded by them but they don’t dare get closer. This is also represented in the animated movie Dead Space: Downfall, and explained in the books, specifically the one about Micheal Altman. These aliens survived the planet freeze only to die of starvation as they sought sanctuary from the necromorphs who didn’t get frozen by the machine, the only true safe place being the markers that caused their world’s destruction.

[@RoyStantz]

IMHO I do feel that Isaac's personal journey had wrapped up by the end of the second game, so by the time we got to the third one, it was like "Well, what's left to do with the character? 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. So, is Dead Space 3 a downgrade from its predecessors? Yes, sadly it is, but that in no way makes it a terrible game; it's not the best entry in the franchise, but it's still very playable.

[@Lawlsomedude]

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. They could have leaned harder into the co-op experience and made it require a partner to play, much like A Way Out and It Takes Two would do, but with how the series started that would have been received even poorer than it already did.

That's not exactly true, it does that for only specific scenes, it's not consistent in coop.

Honestly, I love the concept, but it really needed better and more frequent implementation to make it worthwhile. If they had made the co-op a spinoff side story, like if it was two guys escaping the Station from Dead Space 2 during the same events, that would've been really cool IMO, and would've been great as a standalone title.

Dr kayne is a weak limp noodle and he's not as memorable as he was in the OG Dead Space the same goes for Mercer as well who was displayed as a religious fanatic far better in the first original game than in this poorly made remake not to mention this game is woke as hell why is there a transgender symbol on the bathroom stall? Why is there anti-capitalist graffiti written on walls in the ship as well?( which honestly is kind of amusing when it comes to woke activists who work in the gaming industry who constantly bash capitalism while at the same time they work for multi-million to multi-billion-dollar corporations) next why were certain characters race swapped like the second security team member of Hammons crew Johnson who was originally a male in the original game now he's a black female for reasons apparently although granted this character was an irrelevant side character who got killed within the first 3 minutes of the game in the OG . And why was Dr cross race swapped to be a black woman ? And quite frankly her character model in the remake is ugly as hell

@@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.

The series follows Isaac in a logical manner. In the first, Isaac was a simple engineer. And met absolute horror. To survive, he had to craft weapons from various tools. In the second game, he was more experienced, not that scared anymore, knew more about the enemy, and had gained experience in creating even better weapons. Weapon weapons. In the 3rd he's a full combat veteran soldier, as well as an experienced weapon engineer engaging the enemy willfully and with determination.

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.

[@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.

1:12:10 Love how the Writers some how put the 80s Freeze frame into the Story. Truly a masterpiece. 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 :(

[@NutsorSomethingBerserk]

I think it’s one of the cases where it may have killed the franchise but I don’t necessarily think Dead Space 3 is a bad game. In fact it’s a really fun coop shooter with great art direction. 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.

[@NutsorSomethingBerserk]

@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. However. The game is very fun. Has some bright spots. And compared to other horror sequel’s that ruined their respective franchises, this one isn’t the worst by far.

So I had to play it really smart, the 5 laser gun shots were used on the ghost and all the rifle shots on the marker's core which only left me with 1 mine. This is the moment the boss starts spawning other mobs, I started running in circles around the arena until I found a good spot to leave the mine trap. Heard the explosion but kept running until I made a full circle to pick up the ammo. Rinse and repeat until I was more or less comfortable with the amount of ammo I had.

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.

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.

If you read the companion comics to the game they flesh him out way better, and with that knowledge he’s actually a really cool character. The story is going for a reluctant bromance thing and by the end I actually cared for both characters, although it helps to play co-op with someone you’re actually friends with lol.

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.

I finished Dead Space 2 yesterday cuz I wana revisit the memories I had it when I was in highschool. Honestly, it still holds up to this day because the plot and progression of Isaac's character is so believable. You can immediately see that hes grown from the very quiet character in an unknown but hostile environment to being this badass who LITERALLY mastered the kinesis and using it as a weapon before getting his iconic plasma cutter. His experience in the USG Ishimura made him a veteran whos seen it all which also reflected on his gameplay. For example: his melee attack is much more faster compared to the sluggish one he had in DS1. But more importantly, hes much more braver as in the intro of DS2, he f*ckin headbutts a necromorph out of retaliation (even have a sense of humour at some point in the story). BUT in Dead Space 3, he just feels different and forced. The drama between him and ellie was out-of-nowhere (i.e not established at all besides them being the only ones that got out alive in DS2) and the plot then becomes this cesspool of generic action movie tropes/cliches. And the crafting system was very bad.... It felt like the game wants to pad out the game itself by having a loot/grinding system. The enemies were becoming more uninspired but dear lord, the human enemies were unnecessary at all cuz it made the game into a 3rd-person cover shooter instead.... However, the multiplayer itself seemed interesting tho and the new weapons were "ok" at best. In conclusion, dead space 2 feels like the true ending to Isaac's story compared to dead space 3 which felt like a poorly made fan-fiction.

[@ltchugacast131]

Isaac in DS3 just seems too raw and mentally unhealthy. Not as if the marker had a lasting impact on him but just depressed like he debates hanging himself every night. It was nerve wracking in DS2 when he would hallucinate and try to kill himself because it was clear Isaac still wanted to live and survive. However in DS3 it really doesn’t come across like he would really push himself to keep going if the player didn’t puppet him. At that point his input is just depressing and when he finally let’s go in the end it’s frustrating instead of satisfying. It feels more like watching a grand scale suicide in the worst ways possible. Isaac seems too hurt and too emotionally drained to appropriately fill his role in the story. It felt like wiping with a cactus, most of the game I kept thinking to myself “if they were gonna do this to Isaac they should have left him alone. If I wasn’t here he’d already laid down and died.” That’s not a good thing to convey to a player in a Survival Horror game.

Totally agree, both Isaac and Ellie have totally different behaviors and the story so banal with the love triangle. All the other characters are totally forgettable 🤦🏻‍♂️

also, funny enough, some of these dungeons like optional parts where the best part of the game for me theres the one where soldiers canabalized eachother and the one where the entire dubgeon was in your head and you never left the elavator

OMG NOOOO

I do think the narrative progression from survival horror to surv-horror-action was a good move, just that it was executed as poorly as possible. The crafting system really drags on the experience, and the part that hurts worst for me is that a lot of the internal-realism went out of the window. Its still not a bad game imho, but it ain't even close to a great one

"I didn't make shit" is one of my favorite lines in video games, up there with "ah shit here we go again" and "war...war never changes"

"I didn't do SHIT! I DIDNT FUCKING DO THIS!"
