Technically speaking, the video is just more Dead Space Payne 3. What you should be asking is, "should I watch that video with the sound on?" :p

Correction: the comic mentioned is not Loose Fur, but Yummy Fur. It's a fun bit of Canadian surrealism. It gets really strange. Chester Brown is primarily known for his excellent biographical comic of Louis Riel, but Yummy Fur was something else. The whole "Man Who Couldn't Stop" bit was from the Ed The Happy Clown arc, which is best described by its Wikipedia page: quote:Ed the Happy Clown is a fictional character by Canadian cartoonist Chester Brown. Ed is a large-headed, childlike children's clown who undergoes one horrifying affliction after another. The Ed the Happy Clown story in which he appears is a dark, humorous mix of genres and features scatological humour, sex, body horror, extreme graphic violence, and blasphemous religious imagery. Central to the plot are a man who cannot stop defecating; the head of a miniature, other-dimensional Ronald Reagan attached to the head of Ed's penis; and a female vampire who seeks revenge on her adulterous lover who had murdered her to escape his sins.

Also, CJacobs mentions the epic climax to George RR Martin's final A Song of Ice and Fire novel, A Dance With Dragons, wherein Queen Daenerys Targaryen spends the final five pages of the book in the throes of a horrific bout of diarrhea. It is truly among GRRM's best pieces of writing in his bibliography, and proof that he is indisputably the American TolkienTM.

Mister Chief posted:Sounds like a load of poo poo. One they hoped to make into a movie with Macaulay Culkin and Rip Torn: quote:Canadian filmmaker Bruce McDonald has had the rights since 1991[6] to adapt Ed to film, for which he has planned to use Yummy Fur as the title.[33] Such a film could use stop-motion animation,[69] but the project has yet to get off the ground.[70] At one point McDonald hoped to have Macaulay Culkin star as Ed, Rip Torn as Ronald Reagan and Drew Barrymore as Nancy Reagan. In 2000, it was reported that the movie would have a budget of $6,000,000,[71] but it was unable to get the financial backing. A script was written by Don McKellar,[6] and later with John Frizzell.[71]

When future generations look back on this one, they will remember Dead Space 4: Too Much Poop and they will think fondly of it. But in the meantime I'll just be over here drinking alcohol to forget. I can only wish that paragraph in the update post was a joke. glug glug

Pro Stratz are handy on higher difficulties, but really irrelevant on Normal, when you have so much ammo and you can no longer sell it for cash as in the previous games. I mean, unless you decide to carry around one good Plasma Cutter, and also a minigun that you just hose enemies down with indiscriminately with all your ammo.

If I recall correctly, it doesn't one-hit kill them, just does massive damage. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a point to the damage upgrades on the RIG.

It's probably like "This does 1,000 points of damage, to the ~5 an assault rifle does. Most necromorphs can take 500, making body shots with an AR useless... but this just annihilates them. Tanky enemies have like 5,000 HP of bodyshots, so you'd need 1,000 shots on target with the AR, or 5 with the sniper rifle. Or you could stop playing the game wrong and shoot the weak points for massive damage, damnit!"

That is pretty much how it works, or at least, that's how it worked in Dead Space 2. Gibbed didn't make any tools for Dead Space 3 so the game's not as easy to yank to pieces and look at the inner workings of. In Dead Space 2, here's how the system basically worked, complete with my rudimentary doodles to illustrate:  So this is Jim, the slasher. Jim has the standard amount of health for a slasher on Normal difficulty and he starts with all his limbs, so he is a perfect starting subject for this explanation. All of the numbers in this explanation are approximations just to make the system easier to understand; in the actual game, they're all made up of decimals and variables and numbers that constantly change to make the game fun and sometimes tough. For the sake of this example though, we'll say he starts off with a nice round thousand because he's a healthy cutie patootie.  Let's take a look at Jim's various extremities. In Dead Space, they make it super clear right from the get-go that you're not supposed to shoot necromorphs in the body because that will do basically nothing to them for some reason they still haven't explained 3 games into the series. This follows down deep into the combat system to the point where you'd be hard pressed to find a part of a necromorph that takes a flat 1x damage. Non-extremity shots on all necromorphs do half damage, and extremity shots take anywhere between 1.5x and 3x depending on the kind of necromorph and the body part being hit. Shooting a limb deducts the amount of damage done (after the multiplication) from the necromorph's overall health. You can actually kill necromorphs without dismembering them at all either by pumping shot after shot into their body, or spreading your shots out evenly over each limb so as to not shoot them off. If a necromorph's health reaches 0 without it encountering an instant death state (shooting a tail and arm off of a leaper, or shooting both arms or the opposite arm and leg off a slasher, etc.) it will just collapse and die. This is easiest to see with Lurkers, who have very frail bodies and low health with no extremities to shoot except their back tendrils.  Additionally, each limb has its own individual health value that, when depleted, will cause the limb to get dismembered. The damage done to the limb health specifically is flat and not multiplied, and the body has no depletable health because it's the part of the necromorph that contains its overall health value. Think of it like a Final Fantasy boss: the big jellyfish head is the main boss health bar, and the wiggly tendrils have their own health bars that also affect the main one when they get slapped by your dumbass chainsaw sword made of belts and zippers or whatever. Dead Space 3 actually has two different places each limb can be severed but as I said, there aren't any mod tools, so I don't know if the different pieces use different health bars or not. edit: And by the way, that little extra foot slashers sometimes have is special. It was tacked onto basically every slasher model in Dead Space 2 and some of them still have it in 3. It's got a pathetically tiny amount of health and you can blow it off in one shot with any gun, but it's got its own rigging and dismemberment for some reason! Weird stuff!  As for TK damage specifically, that's calculated using a slightly different scale. Here Jim is informing you on the formula the game uses. Basically: A TK'd sharp object or necromorph limb will do a flat amount of damage to whatever you hit with it, wherever you hit them with it. Dull objects like boxes or trash cans or whatever do far less damage than sharp stuff, which can also impale enemies. Each suit upgrade that adds TK damage will add more onto that flat value. When you hit a necromorph with a TK'd object, that flat damage is then multiplied by the limb damage multiplier of wherever it hits them, meaning it's still beneficial to go for the limbs even if you're not firing your actual guns. So there you go, that's how necromorph health worked in Dead Space 2 and I'm willing to bet it didn't change all that much for 3. Thank you Jim for demonstrating for us, we appreciate your help and I'm sure you will go down in history with Kesha as one of this thread's beloved mascots.

I thought they explained body shots being next to worthless as Necromorphs not really having anything like vital organs in there to damage. When you rip their limbs off, you're basically rendering them more or less helpless, causing the infection to basically "give up" on them and leave them to be recycled later. You aren't so much killing Necromorphs as you are rendering them dormant by tearing them apart. Limbs are just the most convenient targets when you need to remove something from the body.

You aren't so much killing Necromorphs as you are rendering them dormant by tearing them apart. Limbs are just the most convenient targets when you need to remove something from the body. Basically this; Necromorphs have no vital organs so in order to 'kill' them the most effective means is to render them physically incapable of functioning by chopping bits off them. It's not perfect logic but it serves the purpose.

In other fiction that uses this idea, a common concept is that the monster's ability to think is distributed across the body rather than having a centralized brain. So chopping it to bits reduces its strength until it finally collapses.

   Today we trek across the facility in a manner that surely will cause us no means of resistance. Remember Danik? The main villain of this game? Haha yeah I don't either. I am joined by Blind Sally and Nine-Gear Crow. TEXT LOGS IN THIS CHAPTER: There are a couple in this chapter but they spoil stuff that won't happen until the next video, so I'm saving them for then. TRIVIA: - Did you know that the word 'laser' is actually an acronym for the words "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation"? Yeah I know, weird poo poo!

Also, I think Isaac is getting more jaded with every loving video. He barely even sounds annoyed at the prospect of a giant drill in his way. His reaction to the drill "trying to kill him" is the tone you'd use when you're barely in danger but exaggerating for humor. And of course when it all ends, he doesn't even sound out of breath.

If Ellie was the Dead Space 3 co-op partner, then that means she'd take Carver's place, which would also mean she has like 9 minutes of total screen time in single player.
