Dead Space series opinions?

I'm on steam and I see there's a deal going on for Dead Space 1 & 2 both for $9.99, and I think that's a great deal! Before I buy it what are your opinions about this series?

First one is brilliant, hard sci-fi. The true heir of System Shock 2.

Second one is a gigantic turd. It tries to be Uncharted 2 in space except that there's nothing good about it. Any by nothing I really mean *nothing*. Not a single redeeming quality to be found in that sh*t sandwich.

I loved em' both tho. The first is better imo. The atmosphere was much more scarier and at times made ask myself "do I really need to go down this way?" Almost wanted to just give it up at one point lol.

I loved the first one. It was more of a survival horror game that kept you on the edge of your seat. I thought the story was intriguing, but many people don't like the silent protagonist. Now, I only played the demo of the second game, but from what I played it felt much more like an action game. It didn't feel nearly as spooky because there was constantly things coming at you whereas in DS1, you could go 5-10 minutes without a single fight, but the eerie creaks and noises within the game made you keep expecting something was gonna come out.

the series is great, wish it was more horror like instead of action, but is worth it

If you're a lefty and like to use the numpad for your controller, don't bother. You can't remap the keys to it which makes it pretty much unplayable as far as I'm concerned.

Both are damn awesome games. Atmospheric, full of exploration, and very decently lengthed. Dead Space is what Resident Evil 5 should have been... in SPACE.

The second isn't as scary, but its just as fun and long, and the first wasn't too scary anyways. Tense, fun, gory, but not a terrifying psychological experience like Silent Hill (though twoards the end it gets pretty trippy and scary).

Definitely check them both out.

1st one is one of the best games I have played this gen. I started the second one, but I was put off by it. $10 is a steal, so why not?white_sox

I have said this all over this forum, and it is so true. Dead Space is the best game of this generation. DS2 is pretty dang good as well, there are some really genuinely shocking experiences.

Either way if you can get them for that cheap, PLEASE do it!

They are both pretty good games IMO. I enjoyed the second one more than the first but not by much.

Yes they're good games, the only problem I have with them is that they're a bit simple to play. Just straight up corridor/third person shooter a lot like RE4.

I would call them "tense TPS games" They are not really horror considering that how the player is far FAR worse then any of those creatures he meets (talk about a walking armory).

They ARE both very good games tho. The 2nd tryies a bit too much to replicate the first one. But they are really both good games. The first the slower, more tense one, and the second the more action oriented one.

Id call ita good buy ^^

Isaac Clarke was definitely portrayed better because he finally has a voice. Elann2008

Too bad he uses it to say stuff like "HOLY ****!!!" and WHOA.

Dude, shut up. I'm supposed to say HOLY ****, not you. I was so angry, I had a totally different idea of who and how he is, and then he's like Nathan Drake in space, cracking jokes while stomping dead babies... **** you Isaac.

If you liked Resident Evil 4, you will like Dead Space.

First is alien, second is aliens.

Your opinion on the games will mirror your opinion of those 2 movies.

I didnt like Resident Evil 4, but i liked both Dead Space games.

well there's no doubt about the first at that price, go get it! the satisfying shooting and great atmosphere lift it well above average. the second looks worth it too but i'm waiting for a further price drop personally.

I prefer the 2nd one. But they're both brilliant games. And for that price it's more than worth it.

I have beaten Dead Space and gotten to Chapter 5 of Dead Space 2 and I think they are great games. They are not scary but they have a good story and the combat is satisfying. Dead Space 2 had clunky controls but Dead Space 2 really solved that issue. Sadly Dead Space 2 is givng me a black screen and not letting me play.

I have the first one on ps3 and loved it, so when i see both on steam for £6something.. well for that price how could you not get it. i paid £40 for it on ps3.... wish i had joined steam earlier..:)

Both and fantastic. Dead Space and Assassin's Creed are my top two new IPs this gen (although the yearly AC games have kinda run me down).

my opinion?

don't think just press the buy button you won't regret it ;)

great games loved both of them

I tried playing the first one, but the wonky PC controls put me off. As for the second game... it's not a bad way to burn off 15 hours of your life, but I didn't find it particularly special. The dismemberment is awesome, though.

IMO first one is better but terrible controls nad mouse acceleration issues, the perfect game would be DS1 with DS2 controls.

My opinion excellent! :)

I dont know why people think one is worse than the other. they are basicly the same games. 2nd adds some new stuff. I recommend them both.

Both are very good games. The first one is stronger as a lonely survival horror whilst the second adds a little more colour, variety, epic feeling and action.

I didn't mind this, added that little extra struggle to aim fast contributing towards that survival horror element - kind of like Penumbra with its awkward combat (not that you'd ever want to go in combat in that game).
