If you're playing this game on Normal difficulty and claim that the game isn't scary because you're not afraid of the monsters... do yourself a favor and play it on a harder difficulty (just do Zealot) where ammo conservation (through the use of kinesis / melee) is a MUCH bigger deal. I'd say 90% of the "tension" I felt playing through DS 1/2 came from the feeling that I didn't have enough ammo to make it through the next few rooms.

At one point in Dead Space 2 + Show Spoiler +
you have to fight your way through 3 levels of enemies, where the first 2 levels spawn SO MANY NECROS and then the 3rd level has a brute waiting for you... I had to retry this probably 12 times because I kept running out of ammo and there weren't enough limbs to use as kinetic weapons. When I finally ended up beating it I had 0 plasma rifle ammo and only 1 shot left on my plasma cutter ;;


Also, the boss battle at the end of DS2 was a huge pain in ass.

+ Show Spoiler +
Nicole ALWAYS teleports in front of you then instakills you since you're focused on dodging half invisible shadow packs. Once I got my juking down it was ok, but still felt pretty cheap.


I've noticed that a lot of the people who are calling this game too easy are playing it on the PC. I really do feel like the game's difficulty is tuned for the consoles. It's just more difficult to aim with a controller, so you end up missing some shots, which means you have less ammo overall and then the game feels harder.

I'm waiting for them to patch the PC version elite suit / hand cannon bugs. Otherwise, I very much enjoy the game... Just don't find it scary, even on Zealot / Survivalist / Hardcore.

ds2 doesnt even support dx10 or 11. however, if u dont say the name of ur dx9 card, no one can answer your question. also cpu information would be helpful.

I played this through this week and I had fun for it. Dead Space 2 is a great action game. I wasn't really scared except jumping a couple of times in the beginning. I don't really get why game developers do this. If you get the player startled a couple of times it isn't enough to call a game a "horror game". It just gets frustrating at the end. It's more disappointing as the sound design was awesome. But at the end when you heard something off you just realized that something comes behind me when I get to the next room.

Kinesis was fun though and hanging a necromorph to a wall with a shelf spike didn't get old. The story was cheesy, but it did it's job and kept you right in the limb slicing.

And before you are saying "do it on zealot and it will be scary", I did. Only thing which sucked was the low amount of limb slicing because of the lack of ammo. :[

game def needs more attention. one of the best action games ive playd in a while. yeah its not so psycho crazy like the first one but it has a amazing atmosphere and way better mechanics. unless you really dig the scariness of part one youll have way more fun with dead space 2.


also the sound from backround to weapons is awesometastic.

i have a sapphire hd 4850 with an intel quad q8200 cpu

I preferred to do the game in Survivalist, not Zealot. I felt that in the Zealot mode you had to use to much the kinectic shit, and I don't like that too much. I just had more fun using only the weapons, but trying to make perfect shots.

I mean, I'm a pretty hardcore gamer, and the survivalist was pretty doable, I just didn't thought it was more fun.

u should be able to run the game on high details. the 4850 is still alright and there is no game it cant handle.

Despite how good the game looks, it doesn't tax your computer the way normal games do, from my personal experience. I play SC2 on medium, but I can play DS2 on Very High.

How are the controls? They were a big part of the reason I was turned off by DS1 early on.

just beat ds2 for the pc on zealot.

i'll admit i wasn't terrified(least after the first couple chapters and I felt comfortable again,somewhat) or anything but i did have tension the entire game just like the first game.

the sound/music/graphics/guns/enemies, everything fit so perfectly.

cant wait for #3

They are pretty much the same? What part didn't you like?

I prefer the PS3 controls over the PC controls because of how the camera works. In the PC version, you can spin the camera around and look at 360 Degrees. In the PS3 version, Isaac's back never leaves the bottom left corner of the screen - like those first person shooters...in third person...and shifted to the left. lol. This means that, to turn around to shoot, Isaac would have to stomp in a circle before he could look at what's behind him.

Read the thread and decide, I think most people would say yes.

Especially if you like action games with a horror aesthetic.

It's worth buying, yes... But I'm not sure the $60 price point is justifiable.

If he hasn't played the first game, there's no reason not to try at its not reduced price.

If he has played the first game, he should pretty much know what to expect. It's on him to decide then.
