I know that the Nicole video reveal is about trauma and repression, but the way that Kendra describes it makes it sound like Isaac spent the whole flight over (days? weeks?) watching a 3 minute clip of his girlfriend over and over again and never once finishing it. Or if he HAD watched the whole thing, and is just repressing the part where she died, everyone else could see the screen! Did nobody say anything?

2021-08-04 06:52:48 +0000 UTCWhat’s up! Haven’t seen people talk about this but if you stand under any dripping water (or brown sludge in chapter 10) the liquid reacts to falling in Isaac’s suit perfectly. If it hits him on his helmet or arm it reacts, so cool they could do that in 2008!
2021-08-03 23:21:33 +0000 UTCI love how this game messes with your expectations. I love how you expect an attack on the Chapter 8 tram to and from the comms array, so the devs just throw a baby necromorph in the way and it immediately gets run over. Did you shoot the dangling body on the way over?

2021-08-03 14:42:02 +0000 UTCOn that Chapter 10 On that Z ball mini game, the sound designers replaced Isaacs usual boot stoops with sneaker sqeak noises on the little wood pads. Nice touch! The circle in the Concordance ‘C’ logo also changes to a basketball

2021-08-03 14:39:12 +0000 UTCI JUST realized if you shine your flashlight on tall lockers with the ‘C’ Concordance Extraction Corp logo, the C will turn green.

2021-08-03 14:38:32 +0000 UTCHey all! Did you know that when using the ripper you can use kinesis on your blade to draw it to you, then shoot it back out to end range without losing your blade?

2021-08-03 11:16:07 +0000 UTCThe flamethrower is actually pretty good! I ignored it when I first played but this time it was one of my mains. Sure it consumes ammo like crazy, but pump enough fire into a necromorph and all its limbs pop off. I killed every brute with the flamethrower. All it took was a full tank and minimal effort. I even used it against the hive mind, using the long range alt fire. And when you fully upgrade its damage, the fire turns blue!
2021-08-03 03:35:07 +0000 UTCI am grinding through Dead Space. Thanks Ben and crew for pushing me to finally play, but gosh I am scared and want to cry. I only play feel good games, so this is a change of pace.

2021-08-03 03:32:37 +0000 UTCSo Kendra, a highly intelligent mastermind who coordinated everything behind the scenes, forgot that an engineer who single handedly defeated a necromorph infestation with power tools, and also fixed the ship by himself, wouldn’t have the skill or presence of mind to recall the ship, using the SAME method that they had JUST used to recall it in the first place? *shrug* There’s Always Peng! What is Peng anyway in the Dead Space universe? Don’t tell my wife I asked, I’m on thin ice, as you can imagine!
2021-08-03 03:19:40 +0000 UTCAlso I did yell out a get over here when I recalled Kendra's ship
2021-08-03 03:08:05 +0000 UTCLove this game and the little hints it provides during the interaction. I have already beaten the game so I knew about Nicole but Kendra mentions seeing her brother and Kyne talking to someone, as well as one of the audio logs mentioning seeing their family. Is perhaps one of the first signs of the insanity is seeing someone that is not suppose to be there?
2021-08-03 03:07:17 +0000 UTCWhat was going in with the scene where Nicole opens the door for you on the mining deck? If she's just a hallucination she shouldn't be able to open the door and the necromorphs shouldn't be able to attack her. I did appreciate the smart UI choice to have her health bar represented on her back while you try to keep the necromorphs off of her.
