So, yeah. Despite Dead Space being more of a popamole shooter kinda game, I actually enjoyed the first two games. So, uhm, I just finished downloading (read: torrented) the third game and I'm about 15 minutes in.
It's shit.
Everything about it feels wrong. The shooting is crap and doesn't feel as meaty and solid as the first two games. The movement has been revamped entirely, with the only thing separating this game from Gears of War is you don't have sticky-cover. You do, however, have a dodge button and a crouch button so you can hide behind cover. The game actually starts with you shooting humans. :/ Then when you get to the necromorphs they're nothing like the previous games. They're no longer lumbering, slow monsters, but instead more human-like and somewhat faster.
Even the health has been dumbed down. I don't even know what the inventory screen looks like because you no longer need to open it. You now have a hot-button to apply a medpack, meaning gone is the tension of having to open your inventory and use a medpack in the middle of a fight.
Then there's the story. I'm 15 minutes in and I've played as an unrelated character who finds a ship on an ice planet and has to retrieve a codex from it, then has to make a MAJESTIC escape as the ship falls over the edge of a mountain. Then you go back to Isaac, a bunch of military guys break into your apartment, they tell you they've got a job for you, then you get attacked by religious fanatics. Then you get shot, some religious nut reveals they've built markers on every human colony and then he activates them. Then you escape and everyone is suddenly necromorphs. That's pretty much where I stopped. So basically, it's got all the key elements of a MAJESTIC story right there. Religious fanatics unleash plague upon all humankind, up to you to stop them, blablabla.
Basically, DS3 is a signature EA game. First one was good, second one was passable, third one is shit. Nothing new for EA. Not even worth pirating. I'd rather go have a wank or something.
