Its a good thing they were too lazy to bring back any cut enemies like the fliers and head snake traps. (that were cut because they weren’t fun and callisto protocol was clearly another turtle rock situation)

I played through the original once and never got the appeal of the series tbh. I don't find it bad, just another generic horror shooter.

They really turned kendra from a hot-ish sorority bitch into a fat HR cunt

"Isaac I need borgar"

So tranny bathrooms are out but this https://en.as.com/meristation_en/2022/11/14/news/1668441650_483467.html is fine to you



I mean I don't care. A tranny bathroom? It's asinine to care whether it's there. It's asinine to care if it is there. If you let a shitter get in the way of you enjoying the core gameplay experience of eviscerating space monsters, no matter which side you're on, your brain is completely fucked.

Buying a game "to own the other side" its a room-temp IQ mode and the kind of shit woke marketers pull when filling something with ragebait so neocons sperg at it giving it free publicity and then neolibs buy it just to spite the neocons.

Tho in the case of harry plopper: the MMO it was completely accidental, the game its still wokeshit and ESG-approved, just happens the troons have a rageboner with the boomer terf author.

I swear. It's almost like the Dead Space remake making fun of corporations tweeting gay rainbow flags and tranny flags that later censor LGBT content and black people in China and the Middle East, but it's all accidental. I doubt EA games, along with western game devs, will ever mock rainbow capitalism and diversity quotas. Every ad in dead space hammered in how inclusive they are, like it's a joke. But we all know better. Far Cry 5 was supposed to have a pro-gun control message.

How I wish it was an actual jab at woke capitalism but in reality the message completely flew over their heads and they just changed the art because of "representation" bullshit. Even if they did 'get it' they wouldnt dare to do it on purpose, can't risk it. The vast majority of devs arent woke, they might be left-center but they arent woke. What they are is scared shitless of losing their entire careers over some minor bullshit that some woketard picks on and creates a shitstorm over it, leading to them getting shitcanned and blacklisted from the entire industry.

dont mind the evil bitch being ugly, but nicole being your aunt? hope can be modded

 

[IamnottheNSA]

The woke changes? Meh. Doesn't matter if Kendra is a lesbian as long as she's still a dead lesbian by the end. Same with the blackwashed crew member.
It's dumb and retarded that they made changes to appeal to the eternally offended, since the changed aspects are either murdered horribly or main antagonists.

My thoughts exactly. Ishimura is now a den of troonacy and niggardry? Doesn't really matter when everyone is dead.
Also it still takes a white straight man to get shit up and running again, lmao.

Even the contact beam was better and it leaves you defenseless for a few seconds while it charges up.

Contact beam is good when upgraded. One shot - instant death, even for the enhanced necromorphs, which the game loves throwing your way in droves by the end.
Also you can sell the ammo drops for tons of money.

 

[Blackstar]

The game is actually transphobic, they didn't include any dilation stations!

"Isaac I need borgar"

I find it both sad and funny that they removed her sleeveless outfit for after she is outed as an earth gov agent.

It's funny because you just know there was a discussion during a meeting about adding sleeves to the model as if they're a bunch of puritans. Can't show shoulders or God gets offended.
They also forgot to add battle scars to her, which is lame

Also who decided it was logical to have the face burned away in t he fire but the afro stays?
Comical

Fucking LMAO, I wonder if it was intentional black humor.

And yeah its been obvious since GG that most of these wokescolds are neopuritanicals.

 

[Kheapathic]

I wish they would not try to shove that shit under "accessibility". accessibility means having to play the game with one hand or poor eyesight. it's the kind of moralfagging trying to push it via "think of the poor disabled people, don't you want them to enjoy it too"?
unless the implication is anyone too dumb or pussy about MUH SCARY CONTENT in a fucking horror game counts as disabled.

In Last of Us 2; there's an accessibility option that makes like 90% of the game a non-challenge. I forget exactly what it's called, but it makes it to unless you're in a scripted event (of which there are plenty), when you go prone, you're like 99.99999% invisible to enemies. You can crawl right past them and only the most adamant about being found and continuously crawling into them will eventually get you noticed. There's also, something to do with human eyes, where it turns 90%+ of the environment a brownish grey aside from lines to outline dimensions; your character is heavily blue, allies are heavily yellow, and enemies are heavily red, and I forget what items are, but they're impossible to miss too.

They also don't disable trophies/achievements, so I cheesed my way through grounded mode by crawling through most of the enemy areas and grabbing everything that was highlighted.

The amount of shit that's being put in, in the name of diversity/inclusion/accessibility/whatever is a fucking joke.

Every trophy hunter knows the current state of trophies is a joke but this just takes the cake.

ah yes, invisible while prone. the dumbest yet most entertaining feature the game has. let me just sneak through 90% of this level by proning out and waiting for a guard to go on with their route so i can open this door at the right moment

"No battle scars"
If Kendra got hit by a necromorph, she would probably not have lived to tell the tale. Never noticed if she changed her outfit or not because she was always either 20 meters away in person or calling Isaac over the rig's voice chat most of the time.


What the hell did they do this suit?

I have no idea how almost every other suit and even NPC uniform that I noticed looks fine and fairly in line with the original (the two changes I really noticed regarding uniforms is a meh redesign of the level 1 suit and the armored Slashers now wearing security uniforms instead of remnants of mining RIGs) but they completely fucked up the helmet of the military armor. The Motive art team basically just noticed the old military suit had a skull inspired design, and then decided to triple down on it so hard they basically just took the Punisher logo and made it the new helmet.

Oh, its MOTIVE behind this? That explains a ton. They hate sci fi games. Just look at EAfront 1 and its insulting arcadey bullshit.

You can still receive scars while not taking a full stab from a slasher. She is not wearing a RIG, so she can't take as much punishment as Clarke, but she is a government agent, and you can clearly see in the model flesh wounds from something that looks like it clawed at her and bit her. Likely between landing upon Aegis 7 and taking the marker. I personally like the old dirty and bruised design, makes it look like she had a rough time on Aegis 7. The new design is too clean.

Also compared the writing staff between Dead Space 2008 and 2023. Original game had three writers, all with comic writing backgrounds. Remake has one writer that previously worked on Mass Effect Andromeda and Star Wars Squadron, so I'm not surprised that the new script additions are a bit wonky. The original script is still there, so I get why you didn't need a writers room again, but I just wish they got someone who wasn't involved in previous EA trashfires.

 

[TV's Adam West]

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'm all for more minorities in this game. We all know that it ends poorly for everyone involved.

My first time seeing the new military suit was on youtube and I was surprised to see 90% of comments saying it was better??? Anyone who disagreed was met with infantile responses too. Dunno how you can look at that and think it fits Dead Space.
