Those that have not experienced the pleasure of DS2 should jump all over this, you wont be sorry.

So, the end was pretty sweet, though I can't imagine how shitty that final gauntlet is going to be on "no save" Hard to the Core. Final shot and after-credit voice-over were great, too. Sequels, here we come!

I'll probably do another achievement runthrough first.

Are they releasing Extraction on xbox live arcade this month or what? I want to play more new Dead Space!

Spoiler: The Many Deaths of Isaac Clarke

The quick-time event to take out Tiedemann was awesome and the first time I tried to grapple with notNicole in the mindspace and ended up shooting myself in the head with a harpoon gun was seriously fucked up - in a good way.

I only recently got around to playing the first one. It's good overall, but the sequel doesn't have that annoying asteroids sequence, does it?

 

[Servo]

Nope, no asteroid sequences.

Does anyone in the UK know if anywhere is selling the Limited/Collector's Edition of Dead Space 2 for Xbox 360? I've checked online and it seems that (for Game, HMV and Amazon) that the LE/CE version is only available for PS3?

I want me my replica plasma cutter

You should check this out. Look at the pics and the notes.

Still want the plasma cutter? Did you get it?

I got this game yesterday off the used rack and I'm glad I didn't pay $60 for it when it came out. It is fun, but nothing like the first one when it comes to the scares. I think the first one got me used to it, because I haven't been scared playing this game.

When I got DS1 I would be jumping at each scare and afraid to walk down a hallway. I even stopped playing it for awhile because I had to let myself calm down.

With DS2 I am more worried about getting health and ammo than some scare.They jump out at me and I'm like, "Hmm. I wonder if I can shoot their head off with one shot?" instead of "AAAAAA!!!! MOMMY!!! I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!"

It just isn't scary for me like the first one was.

Dead Space 2 could never have the feeling the 1st one had for fact its a sequel. However it does look like they are trying to use the same basic formula from the original game and thats just poor.

Am sure its a good game but a very average in the horror genre.

Yup. It is pretty much like the first one, except you got little mutant kids running around and you are fighting through buildings. I was playing some more after work today and I was like, "This is kind of boring. Maybe I will trade this in for Killzone 3?" It has a few moments of me jumping, like when I was in that cathedral, but other than that I'm running around looking for money and thinking to myself, "this really aint all that."

I haven't played it but I'm glad the venue changed. If it was just another creepy dead ship in darkness that would have just been more of the same, so I'm glad this time it's a space station where you can go through buildings and malls and churches.

It still felt like being on a ship to me. Other than a few views outside of windows and a couple of space sequences it didn't feel any different than being on the Ishimura.

I'm trying to hurry up and finish it before Sat so I can return it for a full refund to Gamestop and buy Killzone 3 instead.

 

[Mr Light]

I'm finally playing it! I like it better than the first one I think.

I'm at the end of Chapter 7 where you have to re-arrange the solar panels outside the station. I have no frickin' clue what I'm doing. I'm trying to aim them so the sun hits the solar panels, since you can only move them a tiny bit, but nothing seems to be happening! What am I doing wrong?

 

[Jono]

I remember the panels been quite maneuverable. You need to aim for the panels at the centre and think about what Isaac would see, not what you see.

 

[Mr Light]

You can only move them a little bit from their original position. And I don't understand what that means? What am I supposed to be aiming them at? The solar panels on the central structure I came out of?

You must be doing something wrong, like moving the wrong stick, or pointing in the wrong direction, as they move more than just "a little bit". Each panel has another panel opposite it. The objective is to move your panel so that the light coming from your panel will strike the opposing panel. It's very easy...

ohh man i just buy 2 days before

 

[Mr Light]

what the hell, that's EXACTLY what i was doing! I guess I had to hit a very certain part of the panel and I wasn't trying hard enough just aiming it at the center and then giving up. cause in the video it looks like he's aiming to the left of the panel and not the center. thanks for the link!

 

[Mr Light]

OK, it worked easy as pie. Guess I should have moved it around the panel a little more yesterday! I'm at the start of Chapter Nine now.

 

[Servo]

thanks for the link!

No problem, glad you cracked it. Such a fantastic game.

 

[Mr Light]

OK, I was very disappointed that we ended up going back to the Ishimura... but it turned out to just be a single chapter, thank god. I agree that the setting didn't change as much as I expected it would. I thought I read an early interview where they said the setting would be a livable realm with living people in it and Isaac would become a leader to help them survive... instead it's yet another creepy dark industrial setting for the most part with only two living people.

I think the gameplay is better though. I absolutely love the zero g segments where you can fly around instead of shooting from spot to spot.
