In the original game each chapter was a different area of the ship that you went to via a tram system. Sometimes you'd go into an elevator or walk into a new room and you'd be in a different chapter. story driven? Only way I can explain it really. Also in Dead Space 2 each chapter felt more. Isaac doesn't even speak in the game - it's all about being alone, isolated, scared, etc.

In Dead Space 1 you're entirely alone at all times and really don't talk to people except inbetween chapters. I'd say the difference in the two is atmosphere and pacing.

They are pretty much the same game in terms of mechanics and stuff (even the story to some degree). Do they not want me to see the ending? are they just "well whatever game's ending soon so instead of thinking of a rewarding experience with a fair difficult challenge near the end let's just go batshit and throw everything at it at once, including newly-introduced type of enemies that we never prepared the player for, yeah!"

The game never prepares you for this in the slightest. Just a fuckin ridiculous difficulty spike that is unlike anything else the game threw at me first. Not to mention there's the other guys that spit vomit at you that makes you slow, so you cant even run while you have fuckin 5 of those black ones chopping at you. They even throw the bat-like things that grab dead bodies and turn them into necromorphs, so you have to take care of those while paying attention to the guy behind you, while running, while killing every enemy in front of you, trying to turn in every direction on a small room that cant even fit the amount of enemies so you can properly kill them all. All while this regenerating fucker is on your ass behind you. They "spawn" where you're standing, behind you, to the sides, in front of you. The game basically brings back the fuckin invincible type of necromorph that was in Dead Space 1, and makes it chase you all the time, while you just keep being thrown enemies left and right, in small contained areas, constantly. Just awful game design.įor those who dont know, it's basically this: SPOILERS (not story related) FOLLOW:

Not because I cant go through it (only tried twice so far really), but because it really pisses me off when they do this kind of cheap "difficulty". I never do the whole "i'll just youtube the ending" thing, ever, but im seriously thinking of doing it with this one.
