Dead Space - Steam deal for $10.19.....worth getting?

contemplating getting this, what's been your experience with it and worth it at this price?

Get it dude, it's one of the best sci-fi shooters I've ever playes, simply amazing! Kinda reminds me a bit of BioShock :D

YES, YES and YES. Seriously get it. For that price, it's a steal. It's really an awesome game.NoctisCaelum52

it is similar to Doom 3, but the camera isnt first person. the control is really pain in the neck. I played about 10-20 minutes and finally gave up.

How does the control translate to KB/M?

I dont honestly remember how. since it is cheap, you can just buy it and try out tonight. many people love dead space and there is a reason for it.

Disable V-Snyc and force a widescreen resolution if you have a 5:4 monitor, it will be perfect.

Mixed feedback, although I do have a gamepad I can use if it really is that bad. I would prefer not to though...

Don't think twice! It is THE most underrated game EVER, solely because of EA, who decided not to properly invest on advertisement.

HOT TIP: Use this and your problems with the movement issue will be over:

You can also edit the ini file and enter a higher value on the mouse response (it's a 30 seconds operation).

Well i had no problems with aiming, i guess people have problems so there must be a problem in the game, i played it with vsync on. I got to say its like ss2, or atleast the closest thing to ss2. Its better than bioshock. Story is ok and the progression in the game is pretty good...unlike most games nowadays. So my point is that the singleplayer compaign is definetly worth it. I gave it a 9.0 its a very well design game in terms of a game, but as a product it has some control issues, still perfomance is amazingly good. Whatever the case i cant really re-play it, unlike RE5 i just saw no reason to replay dead space, i dont know why, but my first playthrough made me feel like its the best singleplayer experiance this gen!dakan45

which? RE5 or Dead Space, I'm confused on which one you mean?

I think you mean Dead Space, but then why would you not play it again?

Hell, I thought Metroid Prime for the Gamecube was the best singleplayer game last generation, but I kept playing it again and again, and I liked it better each playthrough.

[QUOTE="OoSuperMarioO"]It's a fantastic game, but that comes at a cost. The controls made the game unplayable for me. Nevertheless, users have reported the game plays well with a x360 controller.

$10 is not asking for a lot, but all I can say is try it for yourself bud as it seems this is becoming a preference. Personally, the controls were rubbish in my opinion.

I'd say they invested tons of money on advertising it. There's an animated movie prequel, a comic book, a prequel game on the Wii and a feature film is in pre-production now.

the game is pretty awesome.....its like resident evil 4 and 5, except really really good. Plus, you can move an aim at the same time. The graphics are pretty good, and the environment is awesome. I've not had any problems with the controls. I preferred it with kb/m, when i hooked it up to my friends tv, he enjoyed the 360 controller more. the game is very atmospheric, and i think it is very very worth 10usd, heck, i paid 50usd for it and think i still would. its a great deal

for 10 bucks? Hell yea. I am pissed I just bought it for 30 bucks a couple weeks ago :evil: its not a great game, but its fun and will make u squirt ur pants a few times

[QUOTE="OoSuperMarioO"]

[QUOTE="kraychik"] The controls are perfect with a mouse and keyboard. I think some people are just resentful of the challenging environments in some parts of the game, much of the game is claustrophobic, without too much room to maneauver. You can't just run out into some big outdoor environment and snipe dumb enemies from a distance as you can in other wimpy games. I'll say it again - the controls are perfect, there's absolutely nothing wrong with them when using a mouse and keyboard.kraychik

I enjoyed DOOM 3 mostly but......

Dead Space isn't too much of a clone not to offer a different experience is it?

[QUOTE="kraychik"][QUOTE="OoSuperMarioO"]Being force to strafe shoot, due to turning left and right feels uncomfortable is something I wouldn't call perfect. If a developer has to depend on negatively handicapping the player controls for a challenge, then that's not my type of game, lol...

its a good game i can play it with a m/k or a controller

[QUOTE="kraychik"] It's not a DOOM 3 clone, but the inspirations are obvious. It's much newer than DOOM 3, for starters, and it's definitely different. Just go buy the damn game. Trust me.

I'm convinced.....I'll buy it now

I figure if its just a matter of getting used to the controls I can handle that.......I remember playing the remake of Resident Evil on the gamecube, took a while to get used to the tank controls, but I did, and then bought RE2 and Veronica X with similar controls. With RE it was a matter of design to keep the players on their heels, perhaps Dead Space is similar in that respect. I'll keep an eye on the v-synch though.

Thanks all!

I'll reply in the emphatic affirmative ..

"Hell yes !! Get the game !! :P

i got through 2 chapters in one sitting.... a pretty good game which not even the horrendous camera can undermine. definitely get it if you like the genre.

I personally loved the controls, they suit the game perfectly after all your in a big heavy suit and it definately adds to the game atmosphere and experience. One of the best games i played last year.

All the complaints on control issues probably come from people who expected a standard fps game, i mean each to their own you like it or don't but i don't want a clone of every other fps game out there. I like when the devs change things up and take me out of my comfort zone as it makes the experience unique, and before you say it i don't believe the controls are accidentally bad i believe it was dev intention and they are not bad they are designed for this particular game.
