Ah, Dead Space 2, the greatest of the Dead Spaces! Definitely pick this up if somehow you don't have it yet.

Dead Space 3, how were you so terrible?

No do not buy it, it flat out does not work on PC.

No amount of work arounds and fucking around fixes it.

Are you thinking of Dead Space 1? That had some port issues early on, Dead Space 2, Disc version and Origin versions work great. Bought the disc version on sale, there was a free transfer to the Origin version at some point? Played through a couple of times on both.

To be fair I've never tried the Steam version of Dead Space 2, but I can't see it being completely unplayable, sorry to hear it gave you issues.

Worth buying the game for this?

Lol Hell Naaaaaah. The game looks like ass anyways on Beth's Ancient DerpBryo Engine. Besides no amount of volumetric lighting can make the shit gameplay, dialogue, quests, or c&c better. I always find stuff like this funny, "Oh wow, maybe if I install this ENB or shiny grafix, the game will be more palatable." I guess, these games being walking sims with deep "stuff" to look at is enough.

I'm kinda on the fence about it, after playing for around 50 hours. It's fun, but shallow and I find I'm starting to lose interest. Not so much due to the graphics or the RPG-lite gameplay, but more due to the fact that (spoilers ahead): I can't understand the motivation of the Institute. Why are they so intent on replacing people with synths?

Overall, I think it's decent, but I enjoyed Skyrim a lot more and am enjoying Witcher 3 a hell of a lot more.

That's a good review Quinn. Your delivery is smoother than at first and the production is good. Excellent ending too

One nitpick, the sections (Story, G&P, Gameplay, etc) seem to run together. For example at 4:50 you go from talking about the Breach mode to the Verdict without the natural pause of a change of subject. The start of the G&P section flows better because of a fraction of a second more delay and IMHO another fraction would help. Hey, I told you I was nitpicking!

Perhaps wait until the red bar moving in from the right is nearly across before starting to talk?

Damn it, now Im gonna have to watch it again...and look for clues. BTW I completely agree with most of your review. Only about 10 hours in though and didn't really explore too much, but I did do all the side quest missions so far, all except the "Confront David Sarif" mission which bugged out and now I can't complete it.

No... Because it's WAY shoulder-cam (practically side cam) like Alan Wake. I can't stand that.

That initially bothered me about Arkham Asylum, but I eventually got used to it. But it did feel wildly distracting at first...

Unusually high amount of salted popcorn flying in the Steam forums. Mostly performance issue on new high end cards. For an engine that has been around since 2012 (Hitman) this is surprising.

Yup the game brings my GTX980 completely to its knees. BUT, as always, lowering the Shadow Quality fixes practically all of that without hardly a visual change.

Pretty good Ars Technica review

A game so broken in its launch state that it even crashes while paused
Bottom line: Don't just wait for a sale; wait for a major overhaul.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW SOON I FELT LIKE I HAD SEEN EVERYTHING IT HAD TO OFFER

Seems to be a pretty common refrain in every review I've read on this game...

If there is any game that screams 'wait till its patched and finished' before buying, it is this one.
