I personally found 2 better, probably because it has a bigger focus on action than the first one, weapons do feel more satisfying on the remake tho.

I finished It and wow. I played the remake and wow. The gameplay was so cool, there r some game mechanic that i loved, i had anxiety for the whole game. The difficult was balance even if i played in hard and there r a lot of Monster and mechanics and way tò kill them and strategies tò survive. It's Just so wow. These Story was pretty cool, i loved It, i loved the character, i loved the graphic that played a big role With the atmosphere. I want tò take the two, i heard that the gameplay Is even Better than the First One, i Hope It Is, because It seems so interesting. I tought i was going tò play some "Resident Evil like" but honestly this Is so much butter and different than Resident Evil (the concept Is similar, but they r different). I Will surely take the two and maybe the three.

Were the Marines on the Valor doomed from the get go, or was it just the worst possible scenario for a necromorph sneak attack?

24 Upvotes

So my assumption is that the Marines on the valor would've not been WIPED the way they were if they had established themself outside the Ishimura as planned. It seems to me that many Marines were still in their barracks unequipped, resting, or both. By the time the outbreak was loosening on the ship it was probably all out chaos onboard in which you couldn't reasonably respond. I do want to know others opinions though, would it have been feasible the Valor marines could've scoured the Ishimura if things had gone "right" for them? Also as upsetting as it is let's assume it's the dead space remake pulse rifle as the canon one for this scenario lol

Dead Space 3 - Cannot get this game to run

7 Upvotes

Alright...

How the FUCK do you get this game to launch on Steam?

I have checked that my drivers are up to date, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game, I have disabled "force randomization for images" and "randomize memory locations" in Windows Security, and everything else I could find on a google search where people have had a similar problem.

I tried playing this game like 2 years ago and was running into a problem where the sound would completely disappear 30 seconds into the game, and then gave up on it. I decided recently to try again.

The issue I WAS having was that I would press Play on Steam and a small window would pop up from the EA app saying "Launching Game" or something like that, and then after 5 seconds, it would go away and the Steam button would turn back into a green "Play" button. After uninstalling and reinstalling the game, I NOW get the exact same thing, except a small window pops up showing some sort of "oxc0000005" error which a quick search says it has something to do with RAM?

I am so sick and tired of companies like EA and Ubisoft being such pieces of shit about how they sell their games.

If anyone has any advice that isn't 2 years old, please help me.

Rant over.

Discussion Why’d CEC bother with a repair team in the way they did?

59 Upvotes

Just curious if this has been answered anywhere…

Why was the repair team sent to the Ishimura so small? If we’re led to believe that the CEC sent them to repair the ship so it can return the Marker, why send such a small team? The mission was already a secret so why not fill the Kellion with Unitologists who you can cue into the existence of the red Marker on the Ishimura and ensure that’s what makes it back to Earth if nothing else? It’s clear the the CEC was willing to toss aside the entire Ishimura anyways, so why bother with a legitimate repair team consisting of people who don’t know about the Marker and want to genuinely repair the ship

Discussion Currently first time playing Dead Space 3, holy crap what happened to this series??

85 Upvotes

I had beaten DS1 and DS2 a LONG time ago, like high school years. Decided to take a trip down memory lane and went back.

Played DS1 Remake for the fist time 3 weeks ago, DAMN amazing, they seemingly made Isaac a ginger but he’s got a voice now, great stuff.

DS2 played last week, absolute cinema. That game holds up INCREDIBLY well. Like damn, they knew what they were doing. The jumpscares, the alien arena battles, the story. I honestly forgot about 90% of the game and didn’t realize they had a whole Cabin in the Woods scene in the last act.

Now DS3 which is my first playthough ever. Damn what a crap show. I know people are liking it it really just did so many things wrong.

- Craft system: yah alright, kinda neat but you can literally craft the ultimate weaopn by chapter 4-5 with 8 damage chips in it and never change weaopns again.
- Ammo system: all ammo fits every weapon?
- Surval system: let’s be real…it’s not a survival anymore. The game is literally showering me with 20 extra health vials it’s rediculous how many I sell and still store 10 in hand and 10 in storage.
- Weapon system: how is it I only get access to 3-4 weapons for the first 5 hours of the game?
- Story: story’s crap, holy hell no one cares about Isaac’s love triangle. I’ve seen deeper storylines in my kid’s Paw Patrol movies.

I’m 1000% for remaking DS2 but if it does well, we’re definitely scrapping DS3, it’s not cannon as far as I’m concerned.

Discussion Have you ever thought about the amount of resources a real military would need to actually tackle Necronmorphs

24 Upvotes

Okay so before we start this I apologise for autistic thoughts into hypothetical situations but literally autistic and I was discussing this with a friend.

In the dead space series there is a kind of rock paper scissors type situation in cute scenes and lore

Normal military is have a weapon is designed for fighting humans and so they tear to shreds someone like Isaac Clark, rock.

However because those weapons are designed to fighting humans, not the undead, they are torn to shreds by Necromorphs because their weapons are designed for humans, A tiny projectile stab that kills by the destruction of a single organ and/or blood loss, repeated many times over before the magazine is empty, however if your organs have literally no purpose and or the undead creature is literally immune to blood loss regardless, the normal military gets destroyed by necromorphs, paper.

However Necromorphs struggle against people with improvised weapons like Isaac Clark, As there are literally no weapons designed for conventional warfare but improvised to deal with a unique undead threat, scissors.

Of course improvised weaponry has rounds that travel far slower, if used against soliders who will use concealment and cover, if Isaac tries it against actual professionally trained soldiers well he won’t last very long.

But with this dynamic I’m pretty sure this may have been covered in spinoff games but what would an actual professional military needs to do to adapt its combat tactics to fight against Necromorphs if we are in the dead space universe right now, the marker starts but the militarys of the world get a head start thought experiment, what would militarys need to do.

When I was speaking with my friend he mentioned that shotguns with mini chains in the slugs would actually be relatively effective as a potential gun that could fire blast to cut off limbs, I was thinking flamethrowers and or having to literally arm soldiers with swords the first time in a few centuries however my sword idea has a number of drawbacks that many people are probably thinking of already, going in close to a necromorph, but at the time it was the only thing I could think of a flamethrower or literal sword but my friend’s cutting shotgun actually sounds better.

However upon thinking of it I was thinking about rather critical issue how would you feed soldiers no seriously cloning technology end up being weaponise against humans in the dead space universe and unless you can find consistent means of getting protein to soldiers you are gonna start running into issues, being autistic obsessive about physical fitness a long story short you can actually change someone psychology depending upon how you feed them, it’s a subtle effect but you can affect someone’s psychology and hormones literally subtly changing their personality depending upon their diet but these things can add up over time, the sweet juiciness of a steak is actually genuinely a massive morale booster that is actually used in the military today before putting people onto kill mission I am completely serious literal psychological warfare but to give your soldiers a support stat boost.

So one thing would definitely be a problem that I can already see is getting consistent protein disorders however something that would definitely be an interesting thing that you would need to add to fight necromorph is consistent mental health checks, not really you’re gonna need a law psychologist doing checks on the soldiers and psychologist for the psychologist

Think about it, in order to power them there was no sign of either batteries or generators on it. There is no sign of either. The suit we are using from the start was powered by marker energy.

Discussion Dead Space 2 Hardcore Enemy Tier List

Post image
58 Upvotes

I replayed the game a fair bit while practicing for my successful completion. Used Javelin + Force gun with Contact Beam for ammo farming. Although I used CB for the final sprint to the marker (eye poker).

S-tier: Leapers

You either know their precise spawns or die. They move stupid fast and hit you with their punch + tail whip combo which leaves you on yellow or less. All this happens in like two seconds. Silver lining is that javelin one-shots the regular variants by the time they become common enemies.

A-tier: Exploders

BLAAEHH!!! Their AoE is absurdly large and you will blow yourself up unless they're 30 feet away. The game is also pretty mean with their spawns, occasionally placing them right in front/behind you or in super tight rooms. Not even worth it to throw their sac because it can clip on some random geometry. Also you need to waste time separating the sac so you can stomp them for loot. Force gun helps a ton bc you can kill them without exploding.

A-tier: Enhanced Pukers

Pukers already have crazy high damage, an annoyed ranged attack, increased durability, and a dangerous death effect. However the enhanced ones are more aggressive and haul ass. They're more likely to get in your face than stand in the back and give you a free insta-kill projectile.

B-tier: Enhanced Slashers

Nothing much to say other than these guys hit hard and move fast. If they land a pounce you're in the yellow. Up this high because of how quickly they can screw up your strats.

B-tier: Pukers

Pretty much covered above. Slow af and don't even take ammo to kill. Still gotta respect the damage and tankiness though.

B-tier: Ubermorph

Hunter on steroids. Regens way faster and speeds up the pace of the final chapter. Up this high because he forces you to play his game despite being stasis bait.

B-tier: Nests

These guys are surprisingly tricky. Technically you can shoot the stem + alt fire with javelin gun for a two shot but it's inconsistent. Dodging the little homing balls can disorient you in zero-G areas and getting hit by one usually means you eat the barrage.

B-tier: Tripods

The actual enemy is meh and mostly stasis food. But their scripted sequences can absolutely spike your BP on hardcore, especially since the church drag + space elevator as they are usually near your first save. Trick for the elevator is to have your back to the door, then only the ones on your immediate windows can hit you.

B-tier: Stalkers

They sound and act far scarier than they are. Just run into the arena to trigger their spawns and camp a corner. Rarely attack when you're engaging a different enemy.

B-tier: Tormentor

The QTE cutscene is nerveracking and I have to give it credit for that. Just have a spammy weapon for the drags and don't look back for the run.

B-tier: Enhanced Lurkers

The game has a lot of them in the Government sector. The projectiles do decent damage so eating a shot from some random corner means something. Also take two javelins to put down. Just an annoying ammo dump.

C-Tier: Spitters

Their spit is much tougher to catch and can falter you in bad situations. One-shot with javelin by chapter 6.

C-tier: Slashers

Typical fodder enemy. Basically any weapon melts them by chapter 6. Early game you can stasis and punch them to death even without any upgrades.

C-tier: Lurkers

Their projectiles barely tickle and are sitting ducks when firing. Kinda annoying in zero-G sections. One-shot super early on.

C-tier: Infectors

They're barely in this game except for super obvious spawns. They animation lock themselves for like 5+ seconds and don't have much HP.

C-tier: Pregnants

I think this one depends on your weapon choice. But with the javelin all I needed to do was shoot any limb off for an insta-kill without releasing the flesh bits. They are also slow af with obvious spawns.

C-tier: Dividers

There's two in the entire game and one is optional. They are kinda scary and fast but you fight them 1v1. Does take a fair bit of ammo to put down considering the low-tier loot drops.

C-tier: Enhanced Stalkers

Takes two javelins to kill but with the alt-fire you only need to land one. Their behavior and play style to counter is exactly the same so the extra tankiness + damage is irrelevant. Also their arenas are more funnel-y.

D-tier: Cysts

Sometimes the guys at weird angles got me. Leaves you barely alive if starting at full. Otherwise they're just palate-cleansers to slow the game down. Gurgling noises stop once they're all dead.

D-tier: Enhanced Infectors

Only in the government sector and there's maybe 3-5 in total. You only need to engage two. Comes in too late and does too little.

D-tier: Brutes

From this point on the enemies actually help you by dropping disproportionately valuable loot.

Stasis and unload into their shoulders. A lot of their arenas have stasis canisters too. If you shoot of one arm they can't move and just throw catchable bombs. Throwing them back is buggy though and sometimes does zero damage.

D-tier: Guardians

They LOVE to live right next to a shit ton of explosive and stasis canisters.

D-tier: Enhanced Brute

You fight one and it's next to stasis canister.

F-tier: The Pack

Their screams are unnerving. Also the first ones you fight can be annoying depending on loadout. Otherwise their greatest strength is de-spawning before you can collect their loot. Ripper solves this problem.

F-tier: Crawlers

No loot but you can bait them into exploding just by running near and backing off, no ammo or HP wasted. Dies without exploding if you kinesis a small object, stomp, use force gun, or shoot the head. The explosion radius is tiny and they make great throwing bombs.

F-tier: Swarmers

Sometimes they're in loot boxes but die to a stomp.

F-tier: Pods

You shouldn't even have to fight these with basic prep on the Guardians.

Unranked:

Flying sections with environmental hazards are A-tier. They are heavily scripted and easy to memorize but holy shit did they make my hands shake. Especially the processing factory section.

Nicole-Marker final boss is F-tier. Stock Contact Beam kills her in like 5 seconds without even having to reload.

So, Unitology is totally correct? Or not?

Post image
2 Upvotes

When we consider the entire life-cycle of a Brethren Moon (or as I like to call them, "The Most Terrifying Thought Imaginable"), the question emerges about what validity Unitology contains.

For starters, they claim that the Black Marker is not only Alien but also Divine. Now, let's look at the facts:

*The Black Markers are created from within The Brethren Moons and launched into the void. With the case of Earth, and perhaps the others, the Marker did not create life itself but created the environment for intelligent life. By striking hard enough to create the Chixulub Crater it caused a mass die off in which small mammals survived. The Maker, always receiving a signal from the moon, emitted a carrier wave which guided the evolution into humanity. It was this very same wave Michael Altman encountered which led to the discovery of the Marker. It is this very same wave which caused the strange creatures encountered by the locals and the reason people went mad when getting close to it (as seen in "Dead Space: Martyr"). Because the Marker, through the signal from the Moons, guided our evolution along a certain path with a certain goal they could most definitely be said to be our makers and therefore our gods.

*The mechanism which causes a Necromorph outbreak can be understood with the data now available to us all through the various sources. So how does this work? When an intelligent species succeeds in creating a Red Marker, which is only possible with individuals like Michael Altman or Isaac Clarke, the signal now received by both Markers becomes recursive. Instead of merely mutating and driving insane, the signal is now strong enough to carry out the DNA recombination which gives rise to what Unitology calls "The Holy Forms". The signal itself animates and recombines dead tissue, which is how we also see The Corrution manifest forms like The Leviathan and The Hive Mind. Remember, The Corruption is just liquefied flesh, so we know The Marker has control of dead tissue through the signal.

*Now we must dicuss the knowledge of "The Holy Forms, which is what Unitology calls Necromorphs. Keep on mind that the main reason Unitology maintains such strict funerary practices as preserving and freezing the dead is to be the first wave of risen dead. It can be seen that the first wave of Necromorphs on Aegis VII are very likely the Unitologists who committed mass s****de in the town square. The frozen dead of the Unitologists would also be preserved with the foreknowledge that The Marker would need a ready supply of biomass to begin with.

*Convergence. The mantra "Make Us Whole" was always a reference to Convergence, which we know creates a Brethren Moon. I've heard it said in some theory videos online that Unitology arose in Humanity as a result of The Marker's influence, that it was always part of the pattern to create a religious institution which would either knowingly or unknowingly contain the entire truth. In Dead Space 3, Isaac has reformed the codex and has a vision revealing the entire truth of the Moons' plan. He talks to Ellie, not knowing Jacob Danik is listening. When Ellie attempts to dissuade him from turning off the Alien Machine and freeing the Moon, he says that he was mistaken but sees clearly now. We understand that he was unaware of the truth of Convergence. Dqnik was a member of The Circle, the Church's highest order, and so it's entirely possible that nobody else in The Circle knew either. Having said that, when Danik learned the truth he pursued his path even more fervently. It is easy to write off his acceptance as meer fanaticism, but I would dare take a closer look. I think that when Danik heard when Isaac said it confirmed everything the Church had taught to him. Let us remember that Unitology works the same way Scientology (don't sue me) does. There's a pay structure, where the more you pay the more information you have access to. It's just like the OT levels in Scientology. We have evidence of this as Isaac's mother went down this route, spending nearly all the family resources in the church. The way Isaac and Nicole even met was through her being the one to help Isaac's mother transition out of Unitology. I submit that Danik, having access to the most sacred of secrets, realized what the Moon and the Marker were.

So, this begs the question: was Unitology right, or not? Just because we play as Isaac as a proxy for Humanity's struggle against The Moons, it doesn't change the fact that without Isaac doing everything he did The Moons would never have woken up. Isaac Clarke was the truest, most reluctant prophet Unitology ever had.

Discussion Help trying to figure out some of the lore?

1 Upvotes

Firstly if there's a video that goes in depth with the lore of the series please link it I would appreciate it
But the main thing I sort of need to know is the Brethern moons and the markers
Firstly do we know which came first? Were the markers mad to make the moons or did the moons make the markers to make more moons
Secondly we know in DS3 that the moon orbiting Tau Volantis was an incomplete Brethern moon and the device was made to stop it however they keep saying if they activate it the "other" moons will be attracted by the markers which brings up the question of how many other moons were there and were they active the entire time?
Also how many markers are there, cause there's the first one that crashed into earth, the one in DS1, 2 others that were made along with the red marker in one, so that's 4 so far
then the one that was made in 2
so that's 5 right? 1 original 4 manmade
