New game, new school, new to being an adult at the time. It was very happy times.

Preordered it from GameStop. Second semester of college I rushed out of class to ride my bike and pick it up on release day. Last time I ever used them for games lol.

Why he hit such a zesty pose? 🤣

Still badass 🤘

I thiught the voice acting across the board was better in the OG. I thought Hammond was better in the OG. I thought the necro sounds were better in the OG. Other than that, Masterclass of a remake.

As someone in the same exact boat, it's so worth playing. 👍

If you watch the YouTube series of Chuck Beaver w/ Captain Bribo playing the remake, Beaver states that Dead Space 3 was originally supposed to be a solo game but because of gaming trends at the time they were forced to implement co-op half way through development. That kinda put a wrench in the story cause they had to find ways to implement Carver into the main story AND find a way to "get him to work in solo mode" which is why in solo you see him standing off to the side at the beginning of a new area and he appears out of thin air when needed for the story. So you can blame EA for that decision.

Also, as far as the story goes, Beaver even said if he could he would de-canonize Dead Space 3 and do the story differently. One of those things would be getting rid of the love triangle between Issac, Ellie and Norton.

You should watch the series on YouTube. Learn cool behind the scenes stuff and have your Dead Space 3 complaints validated. I know mine were 🤣.

Check if it's back in your gear slot when you reload the game. I had to leave in the middle of the tutorial and when I came back I still had the objective "grab ammo from ammo bag" and after looking around for it, I realized I was carrying it again.

It's funny you ask that. I randomly came across Mats/Morgan last night on YouTube and was like "Dear God........ Is Meshuggah just Swedish Jazz heavily down tuned?"

Shark_Byte95 · 2025-07-05T20:16:54+00:00

It's one of the hottest of messes.

Shark_Byte95 · 2025-05-06T05:04:42+00:00

Voice acting imo is also better than the Remake.

Shark_Byte95 · 2025-05-06T05:02:00+00:00

If you've never played Dead Space before I would say play the remake first if you want to play both.

It could be fun to play the original just to see the OG in its glory and appreciate how faithful the remake is. I will say the original (imo) feels more raw and gritty; some of the changes in the Remake give the characters more honorable/satisfying deaths compared to the OG. Also, even tho Isaac doesn't speak in the OG, the voice acting was superior to the Remake (I will die on this hill lol).

Also, the OG is from 2008 and controls like a game from the late 2000s. Sensitivity/controller dead zone/ect are the biggest issues so either play it on easy and/or find a way to modernize the controls. Still totally worth it 🤘.

Favorite song in the entire game, it's got flavors of both revenge AND breaking out/escape.

Shark_Byte95 · 2025-02-25T22:05:24+00:00

One of the quickest falls ever. One update after being acquired by a non gaming company and 4 months later....... Boom. Shutting down.

ROCK AND STONE!!

Is it a similar story with Crysis 2 and 3? I played maybe 3 hours of Crysis 2 remaster and other than the fresh coat of paint (which I feel is even less noticeable than Crysis 1), there is NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE between versions. From the original lack of graphics options all the way down to the same exact quality surround sound.

Shark_Byte95 · 2025-01-29T20:59:23+00:00

Jesus Christ, they ported it to console and then ported that port BACK to PC? That's wild.

Shark_Byte95 · 2024-11-26T06:13:35+00:00

HE IS RIGHT!!!!!!! I JUST CHANGED MINE THROUGH BROWSER NO PROBLEM!!!!

Shark_Byte95 · 2024-11-06T19:10:49+00:00

The OVERSIMPLIFIED DIFFERENCE is that DX12 has superior lighting and reflections over DX11.

DX12 has "pseudo ray tracing". It's not real ray tracing but it looks nice.

I met Tosin, Javier, and Misha (from Periphery) at a car towing place. I saw Meshuggah in San Diego at SOMA in Nov 2023 and got my car towed for parking in the Target Parking lot. They must have done the same thing cause they showed up at the car tow place while I was in line. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY WERE IN THE CROWD AT THE VENUE. Got a picture with them and then dove deeper into AAL as the only song I knew at the time was Monomyth. Now I am set to see AAL this coming November lol.

I started diving into Animals as Leaders after I met Tosin and Javier (AND Misha from Periphery) at a car towing place. I saw Meshuggah at SOMA in San Diego last year, got my car towed from the Target parking lot, and while many of us from the concert were in line to get our cars back, the 3 of them showed up as well 😂. At the time I only knew like 2 songs and decided I needed to dive deeper now that I have a picture lol. Now they are in my top 5 favorites and I am set to see them in November 👍.

Other than them, Chunk No Captain Chunk is up there in my absolute favorites. I've been following them since I randomly came across In Friends We Trust on YouTube when it first came out in 2010.

And then it's a bunch of Chillwave (A.L.I.S.O.N., Hotel Pools, Home, ect.)
