    Havent played the game yet, but for me personally you can’t get that close to the enemy and beat them to death with a metal pike, again and again and still feel scared much afterwards. Keeping those enemies away and not letting them reach you with an array of weapons or just straight up running away adds to the horror so much.
    Edit: Just played the game 2 and a half times and its nothing revolutionary, except for the cgi like graphics when you set the graphics quality high, but a solid 8.2/10 game for me. Play it if you like dead space like games. Good game overall.

      I would say you could, but it needs to be done very right. It feeling incredibly dangerous and when you get in having your character frantically swinging down as the creature makes horrific sounds squirming where if you know you stop your going to get ripped apart. It should be an act of desperation and one that that makes you feel like your in danger by how its executed even if in the game mechanic wise you are likely perfectly safe so long as you keep spamming the button and nothing jumps on you and interrupts you. Having your character finish off out of breath taking a second to regain their composure. Really selling the danger of getting up close making those close range encounters feel terrifying.
      Not that the game comes remotely close to that sadly, but it is something a great game I feel can pull off.

      It’s a lot like souls games but in the worse way. Fromsoft’s enemy design can be truly horrific but by the time you’ve whacked it with a great sword a couple of times you get desensitized to it. That works great for something like elden ring but not so much for a survival horror game.

      imo the melee focus adds to the intensity of the situation. The game takes place in a giant supermax prison, when you watch old prison movies where riots take place, the riot is almost never resolved by the inmates and guards having a big shootout, instead the guards and inmates have an absolutely brutal close-up brawl. It's the same with the Callisto Protocol, you can't avoid the enemies, you have to confront them directly and always keep them at arm's length. Ranged combat is useful but enemies are so fast that they easily close a great amount of distance. In Dead Space, Isaac could melee, but a combination of the weight of the suit and Isaac's inexperience causes it to be slow and clumsy only really good for playing "Keep away" with Necromorph's. Jacob however is far scrappier, he isn't some grad student engineer, guy's basically a space trucker so it makes sense he'd be a lot more capable in melee combat. The mutants of Callisto are also far more similar to drugged up humans than Eldritch abominations which makes it more believable that you can beat them with some pretty heavy weapons like the crowbar and stun baton.

    Also turning your back to the enemy causes them to immediately teleport to you. Even if you run. Once they lock on to you, turn your camera to see behind you and start running. They literally drag the enemy to you.

    One thing i noticed during my playthrough is that many of the bodies found can't be stomped. A lot of the level design feels noninteractive. In Dead Space, all the bodies (that i can recall) can be stomped. Since that game builds on paranoia, I found myself stomping on everything just to be sure. It was purely out of fear. I tried to do the same in this game and found the bodies laying about were static.
    A little detail that I found was done better in Dead Space. Just food for thought.

    • @punishedfist
      @punishedfist 2 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      True . When you stomp on corpses in dead space , it just splatter everywhere , on the floor on the wall , blood limbs organs you name it , just so satisfying . Here in callisto you can't even stomp properly , the corpses stay intact , blood doesn't splash much . The differences of both games are night and day , just like Back 4 Blood and Left 4 Dead , another failed successor .

    I haven't beaten it completely, but I gotta say: you do not want to let enemies close to you in horror games. Dead Space, Resi, SH - you know if you let the monsters close, you are fucked. In Callisto, you are okay if you let them close. You actually have to. And that eliminates any tension. And spot on about Homecoming vibes, that's what came into my mind immediately. Also, don't get me started on the Steam version and its, hm, "performance".

      Yes! Your comment hit the nail on the head. I was looking at the combat and thinking "why don't I like this?", "why am I not scared or even thrilled by what I'm seeing?", etc. And you're absolutely right, getting close to any monster in a survival horror game is something you normally avoid, it's a last resort. Getting into some sort of Jason Bourne-esque punch-up totally alters the vibe of the game - at least, as far as merely seeing footage can tell me. I might need to try it first, but between your observation and the my palpable disappointment at how generic the enemy design is, I'm not really excited for this game anymore.

This was a problem that occurred so many times in my playthrough, and it was nearly the reason I gave up on playing. The combat in general honestly feels like BS a lot of the time.

      From what I understand, he was the creator and producer for the original Dead Space (the most survival horror of them and the one that earned its reputation in the first place). Beyond laying out the idea and making business decisions, he probably didn't perfect anything. The director would have carefully tweaked every scene we fell in love with and guided the devs. The devs would have created the sounds that added so much to it, the animations that silently told Isaac's side of the story, the creepy body-terror enemy designs, and everything else we all love. Somewhat like the big boss at a massive company. Great at crunching the numbers and guiding the general progression, but not actually responsible for the quality of the product going out. I appreciate him coming up with it, or at least being one of the people that came up with it, and he clearly got his team on the right page for Dead Space 1 by doing his part well, but the whole marketing campaign gave him way too much credit to get fans hyped.

    I really wish that the robot enemies were either much harder to kill or straight up unkillable. When they first got introduced I was just hoping that they wouldn't be a stalker enemy like Mr X, but then as soon as you get a gun you can kill them if you do it quickly. I think that the robots should have been a way to shake things up where you have to stealth around them rather than fighting them. Also the blind zombies' hearing definitely needed an upgrade. I would have loved to lure them somewhere else by using GRP to throw something away from my location but they don't even hear that. They also don't hear when I stealth kill their fellow zombies when they are legit less than 2 feet apart from each other. There was one spot in the entire game where I found music playing in a room and I thought it was cool at first, but then I wondered why they didn't do more of that throughout the rest of the game.

    I was hoping the presence of interconnectivity couldve been played as a story element aswell, something we dont often see. Ie, the starting prison area couldve had some pockets of survivors holding out with fires and screaming all around, set pieces of prisoners getting murdered or defending themselves and coming back later with more upgrades, and opening different wings of certain areas, these survivors couldve been overrun, infected or moved to a different area with the fires long burnt out and decay now settling in, like I love games when your in the middle of shit hittting the fan, and wouldve been an amazing contrast to see how the facility progresses. This game is closer to dead space 2 than 1, but at least the gameplay loop was way more refined to justify its linearity. What we have, is Dead Space 1's clunkiness in Dead Space 2's fast paced linear level design which doesnt gel at all together well....

    Dead Space 1 was horrifying because there were legitimate cases where I had to simply run from the enemy to find ammo and or health. I can recall the number of times where I simply didn't want to play anymore, because I was so fatigued from the state of tension and horror I felt, both because of the atmosphere of dread the game created, and the survival aspects where I frequently ran low on health and or ammo. Even with the more action oriented Dead Space 2, there were genuinely scary moments that I got to experience as well.
    Callisto Protocol had none of these moments for me.
    This game had 0 moments of tension or dread, besides the moments where I knew that there was probably going to be a jump scare. A huge difference from Dead Space 1, where simply the sound of a necromorph bursting out of the vents at some far corner of the level would make me not want to venture out to find the thing and kill it.
    So even if they patch the PC performance on this game, it's a pass for me. If they add more DLC that expands the story a little then maybe I'll buy it. But for a 7 hour experience, you don't get a whole lot of value besides something that's pretty to look at.

      More power to you if you liked Ragnarok but I didn’t think it was as good as the last one. My biggest problem is between both games I don’t think either of them are worth $70. I’m pissed at the idea of wasting money on something I was looking forward to only to feel underwhelmed when it’s over. I 100% Ragnarok and I have no desire to play it again. I thought Callisto would have more to offer but apparently not. As for what’s coming up RE4 and FF16 might scratch that itch but we’ll see

      @@FatfighterXD1 Difference is that they were all actually unique bosses. The brute was the standard miniboss, sure, but the genuine bosses were these grotesque massive creatures that gave a sense of scale in more ways than one. It's a huge bummer that all they could come up with was a two headed guy that kinda gave me l4d tank vibes, its a lot less interesting than the brute. The other boss was just...not that interesting either, it just felt like another big tank guy.
      When I saw that giant worm monster, I was thinking we might fight something on that scale, instead of it just being there for the story. It's just a bummer, there was such little variety in something that easily could've had much more.

    Went straight for maximum security difficulty and the 2 headed mini boss that you can't melee at all has absolutely soft locked me. I made it to the last one, but I fully upgraded my baton, which was pointless since the most difficult enemy of the game can't even be affected by it and it made me not have enough credits to have enough ammo to take on the last one. So I guess I either have to lose hours of progress or just not play again. :/ And I thought it started out so strong too, but the late game has made the problems way more glaring. Sad, I was pretty hyped for this game.

      Yea that I don't get. Why would you make a boss who insta kills you when he hits you but you can't dodge, and your melee...a main part of your system. Is useless against them....better boss design would be nice. At least in Dead Space, the final boss was a eldritch horror the size of a spaceship that Issac had to shoot or die quickly.*

    From everything I'm seeing, if they went with the Helix Station local that was used in the audio play, that would have been a more engaging location. There's a lot you can do with a prison but there's way more you can do with the world they built there.
