Damn good sequel but once again (just like DS1) ending with a really damn lame final "boss". I fucking hate the spitting/puking necros so damn much and the Leapers seem even faster and even more annoying? I never really got to try out a lot of the new weapons besides the Javelin Gun (I just ran my DS1 Plasma, Force Gun, Contact Beam setup once I found the schematics), what's the best ones to get on my NG+ run?
Isaac should never talk. Dead Space 2 killed the franchise potential of Dead Space.
also hate that 2 eventually stops caring about horror and just becomes an action game with gore
>>735115705The seeker rifle is extremely powerful. Even on the highest difficulty it will one-shot regular necros with a body shot when zoomed in. Alt damage (zoom) and regular damage are separate so you can max you damage pretty fast with just a few nodes.
>>735115705A good tip for the puking necro is to learn their screams. At long range they always spit a ball of puke that doesn't do damage but slows you down, and they always do the same scream so you know it's coming even if it's off screen.You can catch it with kinesis and throw it back at any necro to instakill them (but you cannot catch close range puke)
My only beef with DS2 is the Tormentor fight is bugged and certain weapons don't work in it so you basically have to remember to pick up a plasma cutter for that specific fight. Found this out the hard way doing a hardcore run with the Ripper; alt fire blades do nothing to it.
>>735115705Actually, I don't like Dead Space 2. The levels are really repetitive (as in, they literally copy-paste the same rooms over and over at points), and there are too many epic(tm) cutscene moments. The suits looked like Marvel shit. Isaac talking didn't feel right. The combat doesn't have the same forceful impact and energy. Zero G was supposed to be disorienting, not an Iron Man mode. etc. etc. It has some cool things but overall, meh. I prefer the first game in every way.
I recently played the remake and hated it. That made be replay the first game. It's definitely better, but it made me remember all the bullshit this series had. Those little crawlers that ambush you with forced QTEs are utter bullshit. The game is filled to the brim with cheap ambushes and amateur design decisions, even at its best. This series was never good. It was just an inferior RE4 set in space. The remake flopped because it didn't fix anything, and instead doubled down on the same (bad) design philosophy.
