Dead Space Thread

It's an optional "accessibility" setting that's disabled by default. It even says so in the article that was linked.
No, you don't understand - what I mean is, what the fucking fuck is that kind of "content warning" in a horror game? As in, what did you expect, do people think that this is like Cuphead or something?

Besides ,if I recall correctly, the OG game already came with that warning only when launching the game, and nowhere else.

It's beyond retarded.
 
There's complaining about the little changes, and then there's all the sneeding about how the game is absolutely ruined by things that are negligible at worst.
Well you're sneeding all over the thread about it so I guess it's important to you too. And the changes do make me sympathetic to people who argue the original is the better experience. I'm definitely getting tired of game devs having to shit up what would otherwise be perfectly good games by having to change the story to fit clown world sensibilities.

It's probably a streamer feature. Or something to pat themselves on the back over during events such as the game awards something along the lines of "look at the strides we made towards accessibility!" or some nonsense like that. Is it silly? Definitely. Do i care about it? Not really!

Most importantly, it is disabled by default. If people hadn't linked articles/posted screenshots/started sneeding about it I never would've even noticed it was there so I don't really see why this is a big deal.

Again, the changes are ridiculously minor. Kendra mentions a girflriend once during the intro. That's it. If that makes the experience worse, I really don't know what to tell you. Or let's put it like this: among various changes the game introduces an honest to God straight couple. Man and woman, probably only have sex in the missionary position for reproductive purposes. Does that even out Kendra being gay?
I haven't figured out the equation to the 2 redshirts in the intro being gender/race swapped, since they still get murked almost instantly.

I don't care whether people like the remake or not, but most of the complaints that I've seen come across as nitpicky and pedantic, the kinda talking points you'd see on /v/, y'know the ones that feel like they're being made made by people that definitely don't even play videogames anymore. That might be a reason why there's some sneeding back.

We could discuss whether or not the backtracking adds anything to the game or if it's just some padding made to exploit the autistic part of my brain that compels me to scour every corner of the ship for goodies, or we could bring up the (optional, turned off by default) content warnings, or Kendra being gay, or the bathroom signs, or the graffiti or any other minor bullshit that doesn't affect the experience at all. The kinda things you'd have to stop and look for instead of, y'know, playing the game.

I've said 3, maybe 4 things on it tops while you and a number of other people have continued to kvetch at anybody saying anything positive about the remake and daring to tell the detractors that they're blowing things out of proportion over a few minor things.

Cope harder.

Dude, you've responded to every guy who doesn't like the retarded aesthetic changes, so when you've got about a dozen or so people making complaints you're having a meltdown and thinking you're arguing against a singular individual complaining constantly rather than there being numerous people who don't like the woke shit.
And now you've made the conversationt so stupid and infantile because you have no arguments other than bitching about people not being 100% onboard with the remake and throwing insults. I think you should obsess a little bit less about what other people think and be content with what you got since you see zero issues with the product.

If you don't give a shit about the original characters or the story I get why you wouldn't mind the changes. The gameplay is good, other than a few bugs created by the engine here and there, lost three nodes because the force gun sent them out of bounds, and even had it one time have a necromorph glitch through the wall.
But then there's the script changes, the changing of certain voice actors, and certain aesthetic changes just being inferior. The graphic design on a lot of the posters on the Ishimura is just obviously inferior, and that's ignoring half the people on the ship apparently being black.
You're not going to see a lot of discussion about the gameplay because it's mostly what we already got in DS1 and DS2. And the changes like zero g is mostly met positive.
So instead people are going to talk about half the crew being apparently gay and Jacob being overly concerned about his girlfriend's exes for some reason in particular.

It's still gay as hell poz, accessibility is another word for "let's infest this hobby with retarded undesirables". If you are so scared of suicide and muh "sensitive content", guess what, don't play fucking horror games, play Hannah Montana: the Videogame and pet the ponies, faggot.

Also, let me guess what kind of demographic is so high in suicide attempts that it shivers even at the mention of it, hmm really makes me think.

I also dont get why the chapter clear popups are even in the middle of cutscenes. “CHAPTER 12 COMPLETE” shows up in the ending cutscene. That’s just laziness. it should show up after the end credits like in the original.

The secret ending was more cozier than the watered down nicole jumpscare. Though isaac looks more like hes on an acid trip with that shot of his dialated pupils.

Honestly love the secret ending, genuine improvement over the original one. Although it likely only works because Dead Space 2 is a thing and we don't have to suffer through years of speculation about a cliffhanger ending

DS2 was great. But its multiplayer was incredibly unbalanced. Would have worked out better as a co-op survival mode since people still play ME3MP to this day. Yet every tard and their dog would insist it at first that it was a "waste of time" and "OMGEE NOT PEEVEEPEE." Then fuck off back to whatever dark vent the redditor crawled out of. That mode became a series mainstay and got several free expansions.

Meanwhile every PEEVEEPEE COD trend chasing game they shilled was either forgotten or is virtually unplayable today for one reason or another while being almost identical copies of the last. These days they just skip the playable years and just go straight to being unplayable cheater infested garbage like 2042.

Another reason to not buy any EA re-releases. They purposely neuter any community aspect to them that isn't annoying, cheater infested, PVP bullshit. ME3MP is not even considered to be added in a post launch update or anything for mass effect "legendary edition". They also de-listed the original version that has the MP mode just like Todd did for skyrim too.

Don't remind me. Absolutely bullshit that the "legendary edition" neglected to bring back one of the best parts about mass effect 3. Devs really love shitting themselves on the finish line when it comes to remakes and re releases

Remember that RE8 was toned down because people thought RE7 was “too scary”. They’ll try to appeal horror games to the softest people on earth, for some reason.

Some people just need to stick to Mario.
 
I guess I'll add a quick addendum to my thoughts while people are still sperging about the woke stuff.

It's definitely a negative to the game however it's passive in the overall experience, easily ignorable. Kendra having a girlfriend is the only thing verbally put in your face and it's over as soon as you hear it. Isaac is not getting emasculated, He isn't getting rescued by stoic minority woman #37 or getting choked out by Trans athlete Abby. 99% of the stuff can be plucked out with a mod like the Spiderman one that replaced the pride flags with American flags.

What's more pressing are the character changes other users pointed out. Kendra being more empathetic and Isaac trying to save her at the end, Nicole's reason for being on the ishimura is different (this one stunk), Hammond got a wimpy death etc.

If you don't want to give a cent to the ideologues I sincerely get it but there is good effort here worth at least a $10-20 entry fee IMO.

I bet part of not including multiplayer (through it would have made EA even more money) is that they didn't want to rehire the dude who's job it was to make sure people were not cheating in credits.

I remember about a year or so after ME3 came out he admit that his contract was up and no one was at the wheel watching and basically gave the go ahead to cheat in as much credits as you wanted. ( I did it, and it was glorious).

Isaac is not getting emasculated,
That's because they emasculate Kein instead and butcher his character from a cunning, well spoken, unitologist whose faith was shaken to the punching bag of the cast that Isaac cuts off routinely and Kendra ignores.

Hammond's original death was good enough at the arms of an enhanced brute. Are Enhanced Necromorphs even in the remake? Haven't seen any of them in gameplay videos.

Yeah I think most of the woke stuff can be ignored. Kendra’s line at the beginning is forgettable and most people probably won’t notice the tranny bathrooms unless someone told them about it. What really bothers me is the character models. Issac and Kyne look nothing like the original characters and Nicole and Kendra are just ugly. That’s where I genuinely get taken out of the game.

No? I've replied maybe to four people at most. There's been a hell of a lot more posters ITT that have been having conniption fits over dumb SJW things in a game.

Yes, I have personally made the conversation so stupid and infantile by pointing out how silly it is to cry about the game being shit just because of some small changes. It's definitely not the people complaining about a black woman who lives only marginally longer than the already-nothing character she replaced, a character made gay just for lip service, an "all gender" restroom that you'd really have to go out of your way to pay attention to, and censorship stuff that's already turned off by default in the game's settings. I suppose if you take away all of these objective things about the game, plus the fact that the basic gameplay is widely purported to be good, then there is no argument that can be made against endless handwringing about the SJWs and how they're ruining video games with [current year] garbage.

I think you're projecting hardcore, and you do realize you keep exaggerating the point of contention in addition to putting words in my mouth, right?
