Dead Space: This Flamethrower was a Horrible Purchase

Note to Self: Flamethrower is not good for early game, either that or I'm just that bad.

Dead Space: Screaming, Missing, and More Screaming

Watch me continue my journey trying not to die and screaming at every jump scare!

Dead Space: Zero G makes me SICK

As we move on to Chapter 2 of Dead Space we quickly find that we are sent to retrieve the credentials of the former captain of the Ishimura who is currently in the medical bay in a non-living state. We quickly hop the first tram to the medical bay after learning how to use the store. Buying things we probably didn’t need, like ammo,  and not buying things we probably did need, like med packs.

In order to get to the morgue where the now frozen dead captain is we needed to blow up the barricade blocking the door for some reason. Of course, we need to use the supplies commonly found in the medical bay in order to do so. Thankfully in the world of Dead Space one of the things they keep in the medical bay is thermite. I guess their medical bay was staffed with engineers and not doctors. Makes perfect sense since engineers in this world have to fix EVERYTHING.

My mistake at the shop was quickly made clear after running low on health and realizing I have nothing to heal with. My inability to aim now mixed with low health left me in a tough spot to either get good or die a lot.

During this chapter, they introduced to air free zones and also my new favorite thing in the world Zero G. Now the sarcasm is out of the way some seriousness. I am really sensitive to motion sickness at least when it comes to some kind of games. I frequently refer to this as “Game Sickness”. Jumping around and having up become down suddenly isn’t the best thing for a person who suffers from this. I pray these areas are not many cause it really did start making me feel ill.

After getting sick from Zero G  we return to blow up the barricade. However, unlike Issac I have to take a break to settle my weak stomach which refuses to get good.

Dead Space: No One Listens to the Engineer

Being that it is Halloween weekend, I figure I would change things up a bit and play something a bit more on the scary end of things. I searched through my steam library for games I have yet to play and realized I have not played Dead Space yet.

For full disclosure, I did see playthroughs of the game in the past, but I can’t remember where every jump scare is. All I can say is I think I have been corrupted by my years of horror movie watching and thus I was able to predict where a lot of them were going to occur anyway. Sorry, my reactions are not as stellar as say other lets players. If you are looking for a scream fest this isn’t going to be it.

Now for the game! Clearly, the first lesson of the game was no one listens to the Engineer and that quickly everyone abandons you to fix everything (just like real life!). I did get stuck twice during the game.  Once during the tutorial, because I exited out of the prompt without looking at what buttons I was suppose to hit in order to complete the task. The second time was with clearing the tram. Maybe I am just an idiot, but that wasn’t very clear to me at all what I was suppose to do.  It’s most likely I’m an idiot since  I seemed to have blown up our only way off the Ishimura.
