OTOH, those "L4D makers" on B4B only had like 7/150ish(?) devs from Valve's L4D team. Just 7. But whatever, all these taglines are just marketing fluff anyway. 0 weight.

Imagine what certifications an engineer would have to go through to get any of the dead space suits. Imagine all the REALLY COOL STUFF you wouldn't be allowed to do with it 😐.
I still geek out over those sequences where you're being dragged along by that tentacle thing in Dead Space. Tech wise that whole thing is fantastic and its really cool they got it to work.
The Plasma Cutter purpose was to cut through softer materials, as a way to not cause fully melt of vaporize it with more heavier and powerfull tools. Thou i like the idea that while Earth is depleted of Resources, some corpos been hiring thugs to sabotage some mines or theres a group of ecoterrorists who dont like the idea of corps mining whole planets... wich could lead to alot of groups that just try to rob this massive mining ships and take their shit, so Miners needed a way to defend themselfs. In short.: Dead Space universe problaby has Space Pirates, so Miners use the tools also to defend themselfs.
I like how there are a few actual firearms in the game, stuff like the pulse rifle and seeker rifle. Security forces would obviously still be armed, and those weapons would still be around. Then you have the whole arsenal of repurposed tools. Plasma cutter is obviously the favorite, but you have ore cutters, mining detonators, saws, torches, directed energy beams, even a fucking spike launcher that's supposed to shove beacons into rock or some shit like that. What a surprise, extremely dangerous tools can be repurposed to kill people.
Regardless a lot of power tools nowadays look like guns, shit some take gun blanks to operate, so a plasma cutter looking and functioning in such a way isn’t that much of a stretch lol

I think the Plasma Cutter is supposed to work like an actual cutter but it's converted into a longer range projectile shooter. Kind of like a nail gun if you were to over clock it somehow except It's got white hot plasma.
Nifty tid bit. Its called the Plasma Cutter because of how it converts gas into plasma, along with it modifications to allow for projectile combat. The ammunition for a Plasma Cutter is actually highly ionized gas.
@@clonedvarient4154 Yeah I was sure it used gas because that's how real Plasma Cutters work. Though with real ones it's closer to a welder in it using electricity to heat things up and air to blow it away. I'm sure part of the process involves the air getting really hot due to how hot welders are supposed to be.
@@M7S4I5L8V2A its my belief that the Plasma Cutter Isaac uses is modified. Its a surgical tool in 2, which Isaac messes with. Its primarily used to break down smaller rocks with precise cuts for minerals. Its a much smaller Line Gun, so much smaller that each Linerack, the ammo for the Line Gun, is a tube of that gas, while the Cutter uses a cartridge.
@@clonedvarient4154 Oh no it definitely is. They use them in the movie and they are just lightsabers except for the one Isaac uses which is converted. Then Isaac in 2 fumbles with it as a Necromorph comes at us showing it's definitely modified.
So while the Flamethrower is dead space 1 is ass, in dead space 2 it is *literally* one of the best weapons. You kill enhanced necromorphs in 10-15 flame when it’s upgraded becoming the most ammo efficient weapon in the game.
Yeah you literally just keep spraying them w/ 1 or 2 tiny puffs, and they take damage-over-time while stunned. They unstun then you repeat ad infinitum. But it leads to weird situations like being completely surrounded by necros but you just spritz each of them, one at a time, to keep them at bay til they keel over. ComPLETEly different from how all the other guns play. EDIT: I just remembered that I once did a personal challenge run of DS2, on Zealot (hardest diff) flamethrower-only & no upgrades/workbench/store. I genuinely thought it was going to be awful, like the worst thing in the world, but it was honestly fine. DS2's flamethrower is actually REALLY good. The ammo efficiency especially, saved the inability to buy ammo.
@@Upsetkiller456 I like how well-made all the weapons in DS2 are, because I don't think I've ever seen consistent "top weapons".

Gotta admit tho, flamethrower's fire making necros instantly drop their items is just **mwah** icing on the burnt cake.
@@BreakdancePeach Yea, DS2 is honestly one of the best Third-Person Shooter games made as far as raw gameplay goes, literally every weapon(except one) is viable for the most part. Javelin is hella fun to use but I think gets outvalued by Kinesis being stronk in DS2. Plasma Cutter is absolutely in the Top 2 everytime I think, even if it's not a true carry like it is in DS1.

@@spase667 They're both ergonomic, accurate, medium to long range, single shot, cost effective weapons, that will serve you well if you keep your cool and control over a situation but cant be used as a backup panic button. Fantastic design for both
I love this new era of TwoBestFriends Remake with Woolie and Reggie playing survival horror games! Less diverse though because Pat is more diverse as blizzard says XD
The only reason i can think of for the Pulse Rifle secondary fire is riots/mutinies. In ships that size you probably have a small security force compared to the amount workers, so if by any chance you would get surounded you just blast away.
Somebody in the comments section of the LP video where that alt fire gets introduced mentioned the possibility that in universe it's probably meant as riot control and I immediately thought there would obviously be security or law enforcement versions of this weapon that shoots rubber bullets or the in-universe equivalent.
Force push pull and stasis would be SUPER useful in the construction industry though. You want a future where jetpacks are casually used while the Dead Space writers wanted a future where force powers have been scientifically trivialized
16:28 that is one of my favorite alt fires in the game because of how absurd it is lmao. I can't tell if it was intentional or not, but it's the most horrifyingly dystopian implication I've ever seen in a game.
About the plasma cutter being a tool but designed like a gun, I'm almost certain it was either in the game or the prequel book that the cutter (and maybe the other tools) was modified to be used as a weapon.
Yeah! Glen Schofield mentioned in an interview that they were down to C-class bugs in their QA process, and if you watch speedruns of the game, it's only in the last few years that bugs have been found that can get the playtime to under 2 hours. It's a really well made game from a technical perspective as well!
Fun fact: The spiral was designed by a fan of the series during a contest for adding a community made weapon. Personally, it’s the only use of a proper “boomerang gun” I’ve seen that has the oomph and spectacle to make it into something you just want to use constantly all the way to the credits.
Now go back to Extraction and see how well that game connects to the 1st. With the tentacle holes through the ship, the damages that you will eventually see in DS1. The Extraction ending codec call you receive that is the same call Isaac and crew hear when they arrive. All way too good.
It's sad that the flamethrower is ass considering all the Thing vibes going around. Should have been a super good but very limited (in ammo, whatever) weapon for when you wanna just melt them and say fuck it to targeting limbs for a while.
I'm gonna say the "Reason" the original pulse rifle had that secondary fire could be for riot control, most military units in this setting now wear incredibly strong armor that you can't just chuck a molotov at or anything, I'd bet a popular way to deal with a riot cop is to simply mob the guy and weigh him down and try to get his armor off cause otherwise you aren't gonna get at him.
Ya know, it's rare to get a game that has a perfect weapon but dead space has 2. The plasma cutter is probably my second favorite gun of all time. It feels so good to use and it immediately teaches you the mechanics of the game with swapping from vertical and horizontal. My favorite gun is the ripper. Wearing headphones, the sound design on that thing is so satisfying. I loved going in close and ripping enemies apart. I also like how loud the weapon is to the point that it overpowers the sounds of enemies around you. It might sound weird to have a negative be a plus but it adds depth to the weapon.
Reminder that despite being a great game, Dead Space straight up stole its story from Martian Gothic: Unification, giant ass obelisk that turns people into monsters included
Now that woolie mentions it. It's really odd that the humans in DS3 don't use any stasis or telekinesis against you. People would definitely be using those as weapons of war.
The in-universe reason for the pulse rifle's spinny bullshit mode is that it allows space cops who are being swarmed by angry rioters to hose all 360 degrees of them at the same time.
I love Dead Space 2 so much because of just one weapon, the Mine Thrower is the greatest gun in survival horror history, not only can you use it to lay traps everywhere (plus reclaim any of the ones that dont get triggered) but it's grenade launcher alt fire is god tier because if you resist the urge to upgrade the blast radius of it, you can fire them at point blank range like a shotgun and take little to no damage and still one hit kill most everything.....it's an explosive shotgun in a game where stuff likes to get up in your face and your the one that's immune to its devastation!! XD
I once beat the game w/ an un-upgraded detonator :o Besides a few janky bosses (like the Tormentor "boss fight" or Nicole where it can't damage them), you can literally beat the whole game with it.
I had hoped that Woolie's ability to come to all of the worst conclusions would be limited to telltale games, but hearing him say "oh kinesis is limited and shares meter with stasis" made my head catch fire.
Idk man ds2 is undeniably great, an improvement in many ways, but the ishimura is a better setting i think. Its claustrophobic in a way the sequel isn't. Idk maybe that's just me
It's never outright stated why the tools are so easily made into weapons but humanity is just kinda coming out of an era of incredibly competitive resource acquisition that was probably super violent at points. My assumption for the "Tools" easily doubling as easy to use weapons was that they were specifically made that way because corporations often probably had to "deal" with other rival corporations coming near their claims. There are implied mentions of violence like this happening in the past somewhere in the series, between the violence and the actual need to quickly obtain resources from a location I always assumed it gave birth to the weird weapon/tools that Dead Space primarily uses. This isn't even exclusive to mining equipment though, Plasma tech is incredibly common, in fact in DS2 Isaac isn't using a mining cutter, he's using a modified surgical tool.
I think I remember them now. I want to say I assumed that enough time had passed for the Necromorph changes to make them tougher. Like in some of the Resident Evil games. I never considered it was their clothing that was protecting them.
It's because Issac is silent in the first one that when I revisit the series I go 2-1-3, giving myself the narrative that it is a memory that Issac is reliving in his head.
It's funny how DS1 incourages you to only use the Plasma Cutter cause according to the directors they tried hard in 2-3 to discourage you from using it, to to point of destroying 3 with its weapon crafting.
I didn't hate the flame thrower in DS1, that being said I'd go for plasma cutter, pulse rifle, contact beam and that gun that just does the wide sonic boom to push things away from you al day.
Dead Space has an absolutely fascinating world, and that's only expanded on better in the sequel. I never gave 3 much attention, but I love 1 and 2. Also yeah, that zero-g combat in 2 is off-the-charts good, and the fact it's linked the Infinite Warfare's amazing space combat is not a surprise to me. I will forever defend the great aspects of Infinite Warfare, even if all anyone cares about is the shit multiplayer. That campaign is fucking amazing, and I love it.
Im pretty sure it's the opposite. Everyone hates or is fatuiged by the multiplayer, but the campaign was pretty cool. What didnt help the game's case was "buy this game you might not want for the ACTUAL game you want (MW Remaster)" crap
What??? A lot of power tool look like guns, shit some take blanks to use, how is that any different than a futuristic plasma cutter being somewhat gun shaped, then again I shouldn’t expect Pat to be familiar with power tools lol
Funny enough I'm intent on doing a cutter *less* run. I liked the variety and design of the other guns and to throw all them in the bin for a run seems a tad boring to me. Imagine playing without Ripper-chan
Although the horror is mostly gone in DS3, the gun customization and coop in 3 is just so fun. Electric chainsaw gravity hammer? Sounds good to me. 6 barrel machine gun with fire rounds? Fantastic. Heavy pistol that freezes enemies and shoots sniper rounds? Count me in!
when i originally picked up the assault rifle in DS1 i actually did think it was a terrible weapon a.k.a. why would you use the weapon that an entire squad of guys that got wiped by a couple necromorphs. turns out i was mostly hitting the body and wasnt good at using the tri-bullet spread to hit limbs yet. actually kind of pissed me off that it was actually a good weapon.
Cuz it would've just been the same game just slightly pretty and a reminder that EA gives zero fucks about how they fucking butchered the series and are rebooting it for a cash grab.
He's probably going to get into the Dead Space gameplay loop now, so that when the remake comes out he can be used to how it plays and focus more on comparing the differences between the two. Hopefully he goes on to play 2, because it seems like they'll bring more gameplay stuff from that into 1 (360 zero-G sections, more variety in Kinesis useage, slightly better movement). I think the only way he'd play 3 is with Reggie, but it's up to him.
My theory for the strong foot stomp. The game is set way into the future. So over time food has evolved and more advanced to make humans way more stronger as they grow. Or something along those lines.
I love how dead space 2 upgraded Isaac's stomp by allowing him to rage stomp repeatedly. He starts yelling more and more with repeated stomping. Its awesome.
It doesn't really have any utility beyond stress relief and the fun of hearing Isaac going "ARGH! DIE! MOTHER! FUCKER!" but it NEVER gets old.

@@spase667 They're both ergonomic, accurate, medium to long range, single shot, cost effective weapons, that will serve you well if you keep your cool and control over a situation but cant be used as a backup panic button. Fantastic design for both
I love this new era of TwoBestFriends Remake with Woolie and Reggie playing survival horror games!
Less diverse though because Pat is more diverse as blizzard says XD
The only reason i can think of for the Pulse Rifle secondary fire is riots/mutinies. In ships that size you probably have a small security force compared to the amount workers, so if by any chance you would get surounded you just blast away.
Somebody in the comments section of the LP video where that alt fire gets introduced mentioned the possibility that in universe it's probably meant as riot control and I immediately thought there would obviously be security or law enforcement versions of this weapon that shoots rubber bullets or the in-universe equivalent.
Given the nature of the Dead Space setting, my immediate thought for that mode is that security forces nickname it the Union Buster.
Force push pull and stasis would be SUPER useful in the construction industry though. You want a future where jetpacks are casually used while the Dead Space writers wanted a future where force powers have been scientifically trivialized
16:28 that is one of my favorite alt fires in the game because of how absurd it is lmao. I can't tell if it was intentional or not, but it's the most horrifyingly dystopian implication I've ever seen in a game.
About the plasma cutter being a tool but designed like a gun, I'm almost certain it was either in the game or the prequel book that the cutter (and maybe the other tools) was modified to be used as a weapon.
The design of the plasma cutter made more sense in 2. It started off as a flashlight with a pistol handle and Issac taped a plasma cutter to it.
man what a great game dead space 1 was, it even released one week earlier cuz they literally finished the game xD oh how times have changed ahah
Yeah! Glen Schofield mentioned in an interview that they were down to C-class bugs in their QA process, and if you watch speedruns of the game, it's only in the last few years that bugs have been found that can get the playtime to under 2 hours.
It's a really well made game from a technical perspective as well!
Ripper-Chan seduces everyone
Dead Space's Ripper reminds me a lot of the Spiral of Carnage from the Ratchet and Clank series. ANOTHER beloved Saw weapon in the community.
Fun fact: The spiral was designed by a fan of the series during a contest for adding a community made weapon.
Personally, it’s the only use of a proper “boomerang gun” I’ve seen that has the oomph and spectacle to make it into something you just want to use constantly all the way to the credits.
Now go back to Extraction and see how well that game connects to the 1st. With the tentacle holes through the ship, the damages that you will eventually see in DS1. The Extraction ending codec call you receive that is the same call Isaac and crew hear when they arrive. All way too good.
2:46 Choked on my milk. Pat, aren't they called NECROmorphs?
Woolie's influence made Pat accidentally slip into a semi N-Word.
It's sad that the flamethrower is ass considering all the Thing vibes going around. Should have been a super good but very limited (in ammo, whatever) weapon for when you wanna just melt them and say fuck it to targeting limbs for a while.
The only time I really used the flamethrower was for those little ones that swarm and the other little ones that steal your body.
Good news! The flamethrower is EXACTLY this in the remake. You can TORCH a room full of enemies and watch them all melt and scream.
GET DEADSPACED! - JOHN DEAD SPACE
"Its time to space the dead!" Credits roll.
I'm gonna say the "Reason" the original pulse rifle had that secondary fire could be for riot control, most military units in this setting now wear incredibly strong armor that you can't just chuck a molotov at or anything, I'd bet a popular way to deal with a riot cop is to simply mob the guy and weigh him down and try to get his armor off cause otherwise you aren't gonna get at him.
Man, I can't wait for Woolie to get the CONTACT BEAM
Woolie this is like the first time you touched on dark souls and resident evil. Dead Space is a special treat. It's my favorite of all time.
Ya know, it's rare to get a game that has a perfect weapon but dead space has 2. The plasma cutter is probably my second favorite gun of all time. It feels so good to use and it immediately teaches you the mechanics of the game with swapping from vertical and horizontal.
My favorite gun is the ripper. Wearing headphones, the sound design on that thing is so satisfying. I loved going in close and ripping enemies apart. I also like how loud the weapon is to the point that it overpowers the sounds of enemies around you. It might sound weird to have a negative be a plus but it adds depth to the weapon.
That Dead Space 2 Flamethrower is the best & I'm in love, even if I have to upgrade it first.
Engineers in space looking at the ring on their finger then at the Ripper going "I got choices to make"
Holy shit im so glad someone remembers that 300 game on the psp. I loved that game so much when I was like 8. So good
I'm probably Mandela Effecting, but i fell sure there was an XKCD blog that said each of Isaac's legs had as much horsepower as a semi
Take a shot of absinthe every time Woolie whiffs a stomp.
Plasma cutter is a surgical tool not even a power tool, you literally pull it off of a surgery table in dead space 2.
Reminder that despite being a great game, Dead Space straight up stole its story from Martian Gothic: Unification, giant ass obelisk that turns people into monsters included
And: Run Like Hell.
Now that woolie mentions it. It's really odd that the humans in DS3 don't use any stasis or telekinesis against you. People would definitely be using those as weapons of war.
@St. Haborym your Saya pfp is rather fitting.
We need a DS2 mod to replace issacs GF with Saya.
They can throw Stasis grenades at you, and the Prophet in the DS3 DLC actually does use Stasis on you
@@217adaptiveperspective I never had the dlc sadly.
@@alephnole7009
I think you can also Stasis your co-op partner when they're down to slow the bleed out
@@217adaptiveperspective never knew that
The in-universe reason for the pulse rifle's spinny bullshit mode is that it allows space cops who are being swarmed by angry rioters to hose all 360 degrees of them at the same time.
I love Dead Space 2 so much because of just one weapon, the Mine Thrower is the greatest gun in survival horror history, not only can you use it to lay traps everywhere (plus reclaim any of the ones that dont get triggered) but it's grenade launcher alt fire is god tier because if you resist the urge to upgrade the blast radius of it, you can fire them at point blank range like a shotgun and take little to no damage and still one hit kill most everything.....it's an explosive shotgun in a game where stuff likes to get up in your face and your the one that's immune to its devastation!! XD
I once beat the game w/ an un-upgraded detonator :o
Besides a few janky bosses (like the Tormentor "boss fight" or Nicole where it can't damage them), you can literally beat the whole game with it.
Steppin' on the corpse, dodoo-do-doodoo🎶
Oh I know what the rifles spin attack could be for.
Riot suppression when surrounded
I love the contact beam so much.
With the stasis and telekinesis being used mainly for mundane uses, I'll quote Incredibles "When everyone's super...no one is"
I had hoped that Woolie's ability to come to all of the worst conclusions would be limited to telltale games, but hearing him say "oh kinesis is limited and shares meter with stasis" made my head catch fire.
Woolie's played Telltale games?
@@leithaziz2716 Batman, straight up told Catwoman she's a dumb bitch thief and goes "eh I guess that wasn't the right thing to say"

@@krispykrim3532 oops.
@@M7S4I5L8V2A Oh yeah, now I remember the Borderlands lets play. Awesome game.
Those boots were made for stompin', and stomping's what they'll do. These boots are gonna stomp all over you
WOW FLAMETHROWER DENIERS.
19:50 that line of thinking might appeal more if it included a jetpack or some jumpboots
I bet if Isaac had a favorite movie, it'd be Stomp the Yard.
Thank you for making a video about the Dead Space remake!!
Dead space 2 is so good. I think it’s better than the first in every way.
Idk man ds2 is undeniably great, an improvement in many ways, but the ishimura is a better setting i think. Its claustrophobic in a way the sequel isn't. Idk maybe that's just me
@@locke2517 I use Mandalore's review to sum up what makes both games great in different areas.
Dead Space 1 is Alien
Dead Space 2 is Aliens
I would disagree. DS2 has better, or at the very least more entertaining, combat, but I'd say DS1 has the better atmosphere by far.
2 would be perfect if you had to press something other than W to navigate the levels
I would like DS2 a lot better if the enemies did not despawn alongside their drops the second you look away from them.
I'm always surprised by how little Woolie knows about super popular games.
I just realized woolz is playing both games where the villain of the game is big indoctrination
Ripper Chan transcends once again
nothing beats the bolas gun in DS 3 but then again you can make the most OP weapon in DS 3 because of the customization
FoR tHe AlGoRiThM
In Dead Space 2, Isaac can cleave fucking stars in twain.
Woolie has discovered Ripper-chan!
It's never outright stated why the tools are so easily made into weapons but humanity is just kinda coming out of an era of incredibly competitive resource acquisition that was probably super violent at points.
My assumption for the "Tools" easily doubling as easy to use weapons was that they were specifically made that way because corporations often probably had to "deal" with other rival corporations coming near their claims.
There are implied mentions of violence like this happening in the past somewhere in the series, between the violence and the actual need to quickly obtain resources from a location I always assumed it gave birth to the weird weapon/tools that Dead Space primarily uses.
This isn't even exclusive to mining equipment though, Plasma tech is incredibly common, in fact in DS2 Isaac isn't using a mining cutter, he's using a modified surgical tool.
I have beaten Dead Space probably three times and I have no idea what these "big pants" enemies Woolie is talking about.
Engineering necromorphs
Think they're the one's with the metal plating on their pants
I think I remember them now. I want to say I assumed that enough time had passed for the Necromorph changes to make them tougher. Like in some of the Resident Evil games. I never considered it was their clothing that was protecting them.
It's because Issac is silent in the first one that when I revisit the series I go 2-1-3, giving myself the narrative that it is a memory that Issac is reliving in his head.
I wish I saw what Woolie saw in Infinite Warfare's zero g combat because I thought it played like fucking shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
It's funny how DS1 incourages you to only use the Plasma Cutter cause according to the directors they tried hard in 2-3 to discourage you from using it, to to point of destroying 3 with its weapon crafting.
That's not why the weapon crafting was put into DS3.
@@Vulgarth1 you sure cause I remember them saying they wanted to encourage the use of more than one gun.
@@solumanblevins5906 Pretty sure it was because of the god damn microtransactions.
So what you're saying is: Unitologists are an entire community of Micchy Kazurabas.
I didn't hate the flame thrower in DS1, that being said I'd go for plasma cutter, pulse rifle, contact beam and that gun that just does the wide sonic boom to push things away from you al day.
Dead Space has an absolutely fascinating world, and that's only expanded on better in the sequel. I never gave 3 much attention, but I love 1 and 2. Also yeah, that zero-g combat in 2 is off-the-charts good, and the fact it's linked the Infinite Warfare's amazing space combat is not a surprise to me.
I will forever defend the great aspects of Infinite Warfare, even if all anyone cares about is the shit multiplayer. That campaign is fucking amazing, and I love it.
Im pretty sure it's the opposite. Everyone hates or is fatuiged by the multiplayer, but the campaign was pretty cool. What didnt help the game's case was "buy this game you might not want for the ACTUAL game you want (MW Remaster)" crap
The enemy attacking you at the work bench also happens in The Last of Us Part 2.
lol Woolie complaining about the audio being too loud at points. Just wait until he gets to THAT room.
What??? A lot of power tool look like guns, shit some take blanks to use, how is that any different than a futuristic plasma cutter being somewhat gun shaped, then again I shouldn’t expect Pat to be familiar with power tools lol
we all just gonna ignore zangeff in the back
you know what will be a cool dlc for isaac. what if isaac had a durag,and a white t-shirt with some brown timbs on
Only Dead Space I havent played is Extraction I hear its good tho.
Funny enough I'm intent on doing a cutter *less* run. I liked the variety and design of the other guns and to throw all them in the bin for a run seems a tad boring to me.
Imagine playing without Ripper-chan
I just binged bfp dead space 2. fucking hilarious!
Riper-Chan!
Woolie will you and pat play dead-space 3 for giggles or for october spookytuff?
Although the horror is mostly gone in DS3, the gun customization and coop in 3 is just so fun. Electric chainsaw gravity hammer? Sounds good to me.
6 barrel machine gun with fire rounds? Fantastic.
Heavy pistol that freezes enemies and shoots sniper rounds? Count me in!
i really hope woolie gets the contact beam.
Where are my Line Gun chads
When in doubt, stop it out.
when i originally picked up the assault rifle in DS1 i actually did think it was a terrible weapon a.k.a. why would you use the weapon that an entire squad of guys that got wiped by a couple necromorphs.
turns out i was mostly hitting the body and wasnt good at using the tri-bullet spread to hit limbs yet. actually kind of pissed me off that it was actually a good weapon.
On pc it looks great, and it ran on really super potatoes.
Has anyone told Woolie that he can use Telekinesis on a broken Necromorph's blades and shoot them into other Necromorphs for *BIG DAMAGE?*
That’s only for Dead space 2 it doesn’t work or do any meaningful damage in Dead space 1
Isn't that in 2?
That’s from the second game onwards. It doesn’t work that well in Dead Space 1
I wanted too but the mods are QUITE big on the "no Backseating" thing. I can't even tell him the ammo trick when it comes to Dead Space.
@@clayisahottie That's stupid
Dammit Woolie, why you didn't wait for remake?
Cuz it would've just been the same game just slightly pretty and a reminder that EA gives zero fucks about how they fucking butchered the series and are rebooting it for a cash grab.
He's probably going to get into the Dead Space gameplay loop now, so that when the remake comes out he can be used to how it plays and focus more on comparing the differences between the two.
Hopefully he goes on to play 2, because it seems like they'll bring more gameplay stuff from that into 1 (360 zero-G sections, more variety in Kinesis useage, slightly better movement). I think the only way he'd play 3 is with Reggie, but it's up to him.
My theory for the strong foot stomp. The game is set way into the future. So over time food has evolved and more advanced to make humans way more stronger as they grow. Or something along those lines.
I prefer the "magnets in the boots, meant for zero-g, being temporally activated for a powered-stomp" theory.
Like.
