It's happened AGAIN Damn it !!! (Dead Space 2)

Dead Space 1: loved the game, so intense, great graphics, newer gameplay, good story...had to stop for a week playing cause I was scared to turn the next corridor.

Dead Space 2: played about 20 minutes. Looks great as well, graphics top notch, and continues the story... HAD TO STOP PLAYING AGAIN CAUSE I'M SHEET SCARED !!!! lol....

Oh well, guess I will play it in short bursts.....hahahaha

PS: if JangoWuzHere decides to comment, YES, this game IS scary. Maybe you are super-macho and don't get scared, but play it like I do, with high quality headphones, at night, alone and with all lights off and see if it doesn't make you jump or intense....

scary? Psh! :roll: when you got a gun that shoots out a 3 feet horizontal laser beam, how can you be scared of anything?

inb4Amnesia? Nah, I do say Amnesia is way scarier... but I wasn't scared.

I don't think there's anything more terrifying than the Tickle Monster. Imagine you are drinking hot chocolate at the desk and the Tickle Monster tries to tickle your feet, what will be your response?

Amnesia ruined it for me, DS2 is not scary at all, even with headphones on late at night. Good shooter though.couly

God why does everyone think its scary?I played penumbra and amnesia and after that i can`t find a game that will scare me.

I did play the game in the dark....alone. I didn't have any headphones, but I do have nice speakers and they were tuned up very loud. I played the entire game like this and I still did not find it scary. I find it hard to get scared by overly repetitive closet scares:roll:

It has made me jump a bunch so far and the first one didnt.

Really Amnesia, 7th Guest and Dead Space2 are the only games that have freaked me out at all.

Do you like to embarrass yourself???Since when it became cool to be scared by ur own shadow...you should be ashamed of urself...

P.S. Btw how old are you?Maybe ur age could justify ur "chickeness"

I guess it depends on HOW you play the game (headphones, night, alone, dark), and also how much you get INTO the game. See, Amnesia (although I didn't play much of it), didn't scare me..... but Dead Space has that effect on me.FelipeInside

I doubt that...I think you dont even have the guts to start Amnesia and go to the options menu...

Its that ur notion of bully-ing?

P.S. "Bet you are scared as little girl, hh"..is that suppose to be you bully-ing me?...oh man that just lame...from all the things in the world you could of said...you came up with that?If you would of said:"The sky is blue" or "red car" or "nice dog walking in the park" anything besides "your scared like a little girl" ,would of have a much larger impact on my comment...

I preferred the first game. I just thought it had a better atmosphere being alone and in space. The second has the space theme too obviously, but it just doesn't seem as isolated as the first game. I thought the first game had better parts in it too, like areas you enter and you think it looks pretty well done.

Dead Space 2 is not scared THIS is scared. Don't click on the link if you are afraid of ghost!

I played Penumbra/Amnesia/DS1 with good headphones, at night and alone and I still wasn't scared. Sure there were some minor chills but I never jumped or anything. I think especially DS1 was more "intense" than "scary".

Sorry rhazzy

I wish I was as strong, courageous and brave as you.

I know that you have never been scared of anything in your entire life, and you don't immerse yourself as much as other people into stupid things like video games.

I wish more people were like you...

Being 33 and being scared by a video game says alot about a man. I am 28 btw just because you assumed you were playing mmos before I was born didnt make it right.Advid-Gamer

I found the first DS to be extremely tense, so much so that I had trouble playing it at times.

I'm at chapter 5 in DS 2, and I honestly think its a better game from what I have seen, but I wouldn't call it scary. It cultivates a sense of paranoia that make the jump scares more startling, and since you are always expecting them, you are always on edge. It absolutely nails the sense of sound, and the game flourishes when you hear a necromorph scuttling about but does not provide any visual cues as to its whereabouts.

It simply cant be scary however because whenever a monster show itself you can simply blast it to bits or, in a worst case scenario, mash "e" repeatedly.

i love the game, it has excellent pacing and atmosphere, but I don't think its really at all scary

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"]

[QUOTE="Advid-Gamer"] I thought you told me once you were playing mmos before I was even born, that would make you 35 or so? Yet you are scared of dead space?

lol Avid owned in another thread....this kid is hilarious. "getting scared really says something about a man" LOL.... what are you a male chauvinist or something? who here actually believes he is 28? 28 is like one of those ages you hear on forums all the time, when 14 year old kids want to sound like they are older... they always choose 28. i mean come on, a 28 year old with a dragon ball Z avatar? i think not.Roland123_basic

That made me LOL in the middle of work......

Dead Space was a joke of a horror game, like Doom 3 it relied on shock scares which are bad. The gameplay was pretty interesting for an otherwise boring linear game.

B)Society dictates how a man should act, as shown by the comment. Learn to think for yourself and stop throwing generalizations out.

C)Fear is a psychological trigger which is different for each person. A woman could have no sense of fear while a man could crap himself at the slighest loud noise.

D)A 28 year old shouldn't be bragging about their age on a forum, it doesn't matter.

You misread, the gameplay was interesting but the rest was boring. Cutting off limbs is cool but the rest of the game felt poorly thought out. "Issac this is broke go fix it." After fixing whatever problem happens there is a sudden glimmer of hope then I gotta fix something else that is broke. The game was looking for excuses to push you through the corridors and it showed.

Shock scares are bad because they rely on the shock value (hence the name). These kinds of things become predictable very quickly and lose the flair. Compare that to Amnesia or Silent Hill which uses the environment to create an everlooming threat. Something could jump out, but it also couldn't. Every step is a chance to be killed and freaks the player out because it isn't predictable. Compare this to the music that plays when a Necromorph pops up and runs at you, after killing them about 5 times it becomes a chore.

I find resident evil 4 scary and i couldn't get through it so you are braver than me. Although i am very interested in scary games i can't play them because i get to scared. I guess if i had like a Gatling gun then i would be fine but when they limit my shooting abilities or give me limiting ammo thats when i get scared ASRCSR

Dead Space 2 is a major improvement over the original. It has fantastic levels/settings in comparison. I've only made it to chapter 10, but every chapter seems to keep raising the tension more and more. Oh, and the difficulty is significantly higher than the first one. I've died 5 or 6 times compared (freaking airlocks) to the original where I only died once (door cut my arm off). Ammo isn't scarce, but considering that the enemies are more numerous, I found myself on the verge of flailing at the necromorphs more than once. I was disappointed that they made the plasma cutter a god weapon again. They really should force you to pick up more weapons to make it through the game.

Amnesia is still the best horror game I've played. I haven't brought myself to beat it yet. That doesn't prevent me from enjoying Dead Space 2, which is a ton of fun.
