If the Ishimura goes full Gurren Lagann and turns into a mech which lets you boot stomp a moon which also happens to be a necromorph mech then I think you’re on to something

They should remake 3 and cut him from the game entirely (also Norton). In the encounter my avatar is from, Isaac throws a grenade right at Danik's feet and the man just like comically skedaddles away from it. Visceral thought he was so cool they refused to kill him and that's why Dead Space 3 still kind of rules. It's about a bunch of self-absorbed assholes running out of time to stop humanity's end, because they just can not stop bickering about their own personal emotional and relationship drama, all the while the villain just walks RIGHT on past them.

If the plan is to remake all three games, assuming this is a big enough success, I wonder how they'll handle Dead Space 3. It's so much of a departure from the first two, and not well thought of to boot, do they just completely reimagine it to make it closer to 1 & 2 instead of a faithful remake? Drop the weapon crafting with microtransaction hooks? Drop the co-op? Make an entirely different game instead that ignores it entirely?

Considering they rebuilt the thing in the second game I can't see where else they would go with that.

If i'm going full  for a moment, my read on the secret ending of the game is that they're going to remake 2, and then do a dead space: convergence or w/e they would do for the 4th game.

If you apply enough nodes to the Ishimura, you can upgrade it to apply a burning effect on a necromorph moon on hit.

I have to admit I wouldn’t mind an Alien 3 style alteration to Dead Space 3 because the setting and overarching plot were really good. While it’s far from the only issue with the game, having such a wide variety of customisable weapons seems like a good idea on the surface but you inevitably end up with a few optimal configurations while the rest is absolute poo poo. Much better to have a few well thought out weapons in my opinion.

I assume the main reason they changed so little in 1 is because it was so beloved while they did change the small parts people did dislike. So I imagine the same philosophy would apply to 2 and three just with different ratios

They should remake 3 and cut him from the game entirely (also Norton). Controversial opinion: I think Norton could have worked, even as the co-op partner instead of that other guy (especially if they keep the concept of one player suffering hallucinations the other doesn't), but only if they gave him an inferiority complex with regards to Isaac, and also if they made Isaac and Ellie's breakup amicable. Norton is a regular grunt after all, and now he thinks he's got to compete with the Isaac Clarke, Marker Killer™ and his ex's very recent boyfriend. Now he's a regular guy, and under normal circumstances he'd normally be able to keep things under control. But the Marker signal's messing with his head; no matter how much Isaac and Ellie reassure him that they aren't a thing anymore, he loses it more and more until The Confrontation, whereupon Isaac just stasis's Norton until he calms down, and then cue the bonding moment where Isaac (who's familiar with Marker fuckery) helps a bro out. They finally talk things over like actual adults, we get catharsis, and we never have to deal with a stupid love triangle in the first place.

Beat impossible mode with no deaths, completely legitimate. It's a paper tiger achievement. Just invest heavily in line gun, suit, plasma cutter (and lotta ammo for final boss especially), and force gun. Make sure to avoid the wall guys when you encounter them.

I have cutter and force gun and i'm getting little to no force gun ammo. I hate the end of chapter 10. force gun r1 is great for it as it even sucks in the hunter, but again no ammo. i find it's a decent alternative to the line gun mines if you just want to do one or the other. if i finish this i'll be sure to suicide with the foam finger, thus following the gamer bushido code edit: speaking of chapter 11, what happens if you go down the elevator, start everything, and then go back up? or does the elevator deactivate (I'm assuming so) actionjackson fucked around with this message at 00:47 on Feb 7, 2023 |

I think I maybe did it a total of like eight times tops, mostly towards the beginning of the game when I had no health. Later on when my health got bumped up I didn't have to do it much. I definitely did the respec of the suit to heal / restore my stasis a couple times Pro tip: for the final boss, cut the arms off the explode-y arm dudes, save those explosive sacks at the back of the arena, then throw them at the boss' glowing interior sacks. I managed to get four of the five in two throws this way.

horde mode DLC pls edit: here's some tips I found that are super helpful just from watching a few streams/vids chapter 8: for the boss, shoot two of the three weak points only 15 times, not 16. shoot the last one 16 times, which destroys it. then you only have to do one shot each on the other two, thus greatly limiting the time you spend in that messy last phase chapter 9: at the broken elevator near the start, try to activate it first so it spits out the bad battery. then go into the room, grab the power node on the other side, then go back in and grab the new battery and immediately take it through the door. then you can stick it in and escape without dealing with any enemies chapter 10: in the first crew quarters, drag the battery all the way to the elevator and put it in before destroying the tendril. then when you destroy the tendril, you can just run past everything and escape actionjackson fucked around with this message at 02:51 on Feb 7, 2023 |

I'm not sure if I'll use it on Impossible but I found the flamethrower with just a few upgrades was great most of the game on hard. The game gave me a ton of ammo and while for smaller rooms the ripper was better if I had a bit of space to back up enemies running at me on fire wasn't an issue. It's even useful on the last boss for the parts where you're having to shoot things that aren't it. I like the ripper but for impossible I'd go with line gun/cutter/force gun probably.

I’ve seen some people say the Ripper is a lot worse on Hard/Impossible because enemies don’t stagger as easily

Playing styles aren't 1:1 with the original Dead Space, but these were my notes comparing the two: -Ripper, to me, wasn't poo poo compared to the original. At least not on impossible mode. The ricochet thing rarely ever worked in my favor. The blade didn't stun as much as I wanted it to and if there are groups I couldn't get all the guys stunned. -Flamethrower is amazing compared to the original, thanks in part to the flame wall. Blocking parts of halls to make handling necromorphs in other sections was incredibly useful. Even so, barely used it on impossible because it couldn't kill poo poo quick enough. -Force gun is, to me, the most improved weapon compared to the original. In the original it knocked guys around. It does that here, however, it also strips the flesh off necromorphs in the blast radius. Pair this with the plasma cutter and you can kill groups of necromorphs very quickly. I found myself blasting groups, then the thin little dudes would get up and one shot would take off a leg and another would take off an arm. It also stunned groups and when you had the fast guys you had a better shot of hitting their stasis module -Line gun could could be the best if you're slick with the TK module. Throwing line gun traps on objects and using those objects to guide the trap beam is ridiculously powerful, but I could never get it quite right. The object would often get stuck on something and would be rendered inert. You can lay those line traps to limit movement and make shooting alleys -Plasma cutter remains ole reliable. Ammo isn't too expensive and it can clip anything in the game. -TK module also remains amazing if you're quick with finding metal rods. Metal rods with upgraded TK is pretty much a guaranteed one shot kill, then you can pull the blades off necromorphs to do decent damage. Not one shot kills, but decent damage.

One thing I wish the wayfinder did was let you manually mark a waypoint on the map and let your wayfinder home in on it, I feel like DS 2 and 3 did something like that? I know DS 2 let you cycle your wayfinder between benches, stores, and other useful spots.

I know DS 2 let you cycle your wayfinder between benches, stores, and other useful spots. DS2 and 3 let you set different objectives as your waypoint, which this game has. But it needs the ability to just set a random room as a waypoint because sometimes finding your way back to a previously locked door to find items can be a pain in the rear end.
