Yoda beer Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 This game is scary as heck! If u find yourself opening a door and not wanting to go in, ur scarred. If you hear a noise, panic, and back up into a corner, ur scarred. If ur waist time in a "cleared" area instead of moving on, ur scarred. If u hear a noise or maybe because of instinks equip ur most powerful upgraded "fuck off" weapon for no other reason, ur scarred. If u take 1 step forward and 2 steps back, ur scarred. If u suddenly start panic firing, shooting 13 shots into thr nearest enemies chest, insted of limbs, ur scarred. I experienced all of these things and more... This and ds1 is the best horror suspence game for fear since resident evil 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnlimitedHail Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Neither were the FEAR games, they're still good games barring the horrid third. American developers can't into horror atmosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negative Creep Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'm going to go with the general consensus. Whilst DS2 is a very good game, and has both freaky and jumpy moments, it wasn't as scary as the original. It lacked that purveying atmosphere of dread and tension, and the feeling you were never truly safe. One time when I fought the Hunter I had to stop playing right after as my nerves were just shot. It may have something to do with the bigger, more colourful environments, and that there's a lot more dialogue this time. I can however understand why they did this, since otherwise we'd be complaining they just rehased the same old ideas. One odd omission was the lack of Necros in the spacewalk sections, since their ability to attack without making a sound really kept you on your toes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidexx Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 There was just too much action and too many enemies coming at you to make it a scary experience. The first game had its quiet moments, which very quite scary because you couldn't tell are you safe or not. Here you just waited for the next line of the enemies to come, so it felt more like a shoot'em up experience than a horror game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Eagle Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'm putting it this way: Great game, but not as scary as the prequel. Is this what this thread is trying to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neme6ben Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 that's about right though, it's a good action game, but definately a letdown when you compare it to the 1st imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glims Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I think I went through the game three times... just for the cheevos. It didn't get any less stressful each time—my heart was beating crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImaginaryRuins Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think I went through the game three times... just for the cheevos. It didn't get any less stressful each time—my heart was beating crazy! I already couldn't feel the stress the 2nd playthrough; in fact, even the 1st playthrough I never really jumped from my seat or sweated. Only Dead Space 1 could do that magic to me properly. To me, a sudden burst of sounds or enemies, that is, forgive me to say this, cheap ways to force a scare. True scariness / horror needs that subtlety and tension building. DS2 has some of that but much less compared to DS1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ataxia Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Yeah, Dead Space 1 & 2 are just great fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonBullets Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 DS1 and DS2 were great, DS3 sucked imo. It lost it's way. I'm doing what the OP did on DS myself on Alien Isolation, keep finding things to do in between scary bits to calm down hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
