I decided to go with Bruceski's idea to make Tuesday be DS2sday and Thursday be DS3sday. This means there'll be one week near the end with no DS2 vid on Tuesday but I'll come up with something, like that Deep Space of Isaac's rear end fanfic theater I've had on the backburner perhaps! Uh, anyway, yeah, that's the plan for now, so expect a video later today.

edit: Reason I say later today is because a) it's rendering now and b) Hotline Miami 2 is coming out today so I may be a bit distracted.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
It's a morgue in a Dead Space game. As soon as I knew I was going into the Unitologist's dead body storage I made sure I had 100+ rounds in my plasma cutter and said :getin:

Dead Space 2 handles the whole 'why aren't there kid zombies?' bit as well as it handles putting you in near-complete darkness: it uses them to enhance the horror. You never see any actually get necromorphed (which is practically a 100% guaranteed trigger) and thus dances around the line between 'oh lord this is horrible' and 'throwing up over here.'

The ending sequence is great for immediate karmic comeuppance and 'ahhhhh when will I get a break!?' factor.

This part was one of my favorite parts in Dead Space 2. Other games might've been tempted to keep Daina around and cash in on the time spent building up her character and then her inevitable betrayal. Not Visceral though, her life in the Dead Space universe is just as fleeting and fragile as any other human's; no exit-stage-left for her, no last-minute bullshit transformation, just unceremoniously gunned down and forgotten about like everyone else on the station.

Getting unceremoniously blown out into space sort of is an "Exit, stage left" type deal, isn't it?

We'll start,
like many good things,
with a bear.

One big thing that makes that scene work so well? It's NOT a QTE. It's functionally similar, but everything you're doing is stuff that was established in gameplay; shoot the infected flesh, aim under pressure, mash E to exert yourself/shake off a grab, etc. You also have just enough time to do it all without it feeling like a glorified cutscene or too punishingly hard. The whole Tormentor fight and Daina's death scene is just goddamn awesome.

You don't use Stasis on the children because that would be cruel. :colbert:

Also, right when that gunship comes in and starts tearing the room up, I had way too good of a laugh at the look on the dude's face as he was grabbing onto Isaac still, even after Daina and his buddy got gunned the gently caress down. He's trying to hold on to him, and you can see in a singular moment him realizing just how hosed he is. The room has been vented of atmosphere, there's a ship with gatling guns just outside the window and already with a good bead on you, and the one person you're holding onto? He has an EVA-capable suit. You have clothes.




The exact moment the realization hits him.

That's amazing. I love Dead Space Faces. :allears:

I'm also disappointed I didn't do a Mr. Plinkett-style "gently caress off ghost!" around the 14:30 mark. Oh gently caress, I actually did. drat.

Well, that may also be the sudden imbalance in internal/external body pressures causing his eyes to bulge out, indicating immanent death via sudden exposure to the cold void of space.

Also, by the way, I said I didn't see that thing I was looking for but I found out later while reviewing the footage that in the video you actually CAN see it for a brief moment! Just not right there! First person to spot it wins nothing but the satisfaction that we both saw the thing!

Make it a franchise, or at least casual spinoffs/ripoffs, like say Farmville, where Altman farms maize. And branching (ahaha) off from that, EA can co-ordinate their marketing efforts with companies like Monsanto and genetically engineer new life. I for one, look forward to the day where we can see Altman's Bees praised.

Daina probably would have been fine if those windows weren't so vulnerable to cannon fire. It's gotta be a serious safety issue.

Daina's been perpetually underestimating Tiedmann ever since she got in contact with Isaac. She got what she deserved.

Also the Altman puns are starting to reach critical mass. They're just converging into a giant mass of chaff with only one or two boss puns sticking their heads up to blow some limbs off of the poor readers.

I like Daina, just because you already know from the very beginning that she's misleading Isaac if you played the prequel game thing. Like, they make it so unbelievably obvious that it's going to happen that I can't help but feel it was intentional all along. Even Isaac is like "ok but why are you helping me" immediately after he escapes the hospital. :allears:
