I wouldn't even mind beating aliens up. It's just that enemies are ridiculous hit sponges now and it's not just in Callisto, it's almost everywhere. Takes like almost 10 hits to kill a regular enemy, it's so repetitive, boring and you can't even escape. Why? When will devs realize that is not fun?

The combat system should've been more fun, faster, and gave us options such as grabbing enemies, pushing and throwing them (possibility of also having different melee weapons such as machetes or axes instead of just a baton). 4. The two heads monster should've just been one enemy and chased us half the entire game like a stalker as a second villain. 5. Ferris should've been utilized more and no...the idea of him becoming Handsome Squidward or Mr. X is so unoriginal and dumb. 6. More creative death animations 7. Puzzles are in the game. 8. Jacob should've had a sprint animation for running faster. 9. The origins of the virus should've stayed as a mistery till the sequel and there's no "secret organization" or "progress of next human evolution" bullshit. 10. *The game should've been longer and had more bosses.*

On the plus side, replaying the game will be a walk in the park now that enemies 3 tap you.

I was looking forward to this game for months and it's a good thing I never pre order. Literally everyone is saying how mediocre it is. Even good ol Shill-Up.

Dead Space 1 made you feel vulnerable. Isaac genuinely feels like he's struggling to survive. Dead Space 2 was more action-y but still had that vulnerability. Newer "horror" games just turn you into this rambo badass and there's no actual fear involved in the gameplay.

Just completed it and it was kinda meh. Throughout the entire gams i just kept thinking why is there spiked walls/ meat grinders littered all across a prison. So stupid

@michaelmaguire1229

Жыл бұрын

And a laggy game is a showstopper for me. If a game doesn't run smoothly I'm done with it. It just destroys the whole experience. Bought a new gaming pc for this garbage. Made sure I had all the system requirements and then some, downloaded the latest drivers, and it STILL doesn't run smoothly.

I really wanted this one to be good. Like, moreso than Cyberpunk. I'm A FromSoft guy. I've been playing their games for 11 years. My whole channel is centered around them. However, I don't think my interest in them would have ever arisen without games like Dead Space, and survival horror games. Survival horror and Dead Space especially had such crushing atmospheres of hopelessness and well crafted worlds that I've been in love with them since I was 5 years old. Most importantly, they have tension. Knowing you will be punished for your mistakes with a pants shitting scare and getting sent back to your last save really made it special. Dead space had the heaviest and most terrifying atmosphere of any game on the planet. There is nothing more terrifying than being on a derelict spaceship in the middle of galactic fuck off nowhere with methed up genetically modified space demons scurrying around in the vents all around you giving you shellshock. There is no atmosphere like that, anywhere else. I wanted the Callisto protocol to emulate this and give it its own spin. But... Following the trends of modern game development, they shit out a low effort clone of a better game from the last decade. I can't remember who even made this game. But I'm upset with you anyway. This could have been really good. This is why we can't have nice things. I have very low hopes for the Dead Space remake. This was our only chance.

I wish they had borrowed more from Alien: Isolation. The protagonist shouldn't have a superhuman ability to beat the crap out of hundreds of monsters non stop. There is nothing to fear or be concerned about when you know how predictable each encounter is. Guess I prefer using stealth with limited resources with a game that creates tension.

I'm not quite defending the game, but I feel like there's alot to take into consideration. The dev team was already crunching hard for months pre release, the studio had exsisted for over 3.5 years and is owned by krafton (who is known to be a shitty developer anyway) who was bankrolling them while they made the game. The devs had to rush the game towards the end to meet kraftons demands and to show income, Glen Schofield didn't just build the studio from scratch he also had to build their publishing team and get the game made in under 4 years when most modern "good" games take almost 5 years to finish. Does this mean the game isn't bad? No, it doesn't. What it does mean is that the team was able to do what they did in the time they were allotted and it's pretty impressive when you take into account all that is in the game (graphics, the atmosphere, etc) and how good it looks. I fully expect striking distance studios to finish the dlc for this game and then work on their next game. Which I believe will be far better than this game. I don't blame the devs, I blame krafton.

@DelinquentDemon

Жыл бұрын

Good comment, but if I was Schofield and my reputation was on the line, I would have delayed release. He had enough time to make all of those "mastering horror" videos and interviews pre-release, so it seemed to me at the time that the team had time to kill and the game was a sure sureshot. Turns out we were wrong, and because of this I will never ever ever pre-order a game as long as I live. I feel betrayed

Play fear the dark unknown , lamentum ,ratuz or world of horror instead Each of the games have good points and bad . But fear the dark unknown it’s like a spiritual successor to resident evil

The auto lock-on for the melee and quickshot takes a lot of the tension out IMO. In Resident Evil and Dead Space games it is entirely up to you to position yourself well and aim precisely. You have to think quickly instead of just starting the same braindead button combo as soon as an enemy is in sight. Even the melee in those games has a fixed range without sliding you towards an enemy.

Not to mention this game likes to cheat too like those worms that pop out of random crates, and enemies just grabbing you mid combo or they will just hit you while your attack goes through them and my favorite one is sometimes those said gummy worms take almost all of your health at random if you play on the hardest difficulty.

I honestly enjoyed this game, to the point where I played through it twice. It’s got its flaws for sure, but something about the combat is addicting. Or maybe I’m just a masochist idk.

Thanks for the video Synthetic Man! I’m looking forward to your Dead Space “remake” video if you decide to do that!

I think you were way too generous with this review. I hated this game. It's the worst game I played in 2022... probably the worst game I have played in the past five years. This game is an abomination. I have unsubscribed to every KZreadr who gave this game a good review. Anyone who gave this game a good review is just making click bait and can't be trusted, as far as I am concerned.

What I do not, what I fail to understand is why in the hell is there an "auto save" button or function, but when you go over and select it, it does jack. Nothing. No action or the actual function of auto saving or game saving is made. As though it was PURELY there for aesthetic, which honestly it might as well be, if that's not the case. "In horror and the greatest of stories and horror and monsters, irony is ever/never seldom absent." I paraphrased Lovecraft there.

Usually the combat in this game is like THE LAST 0F US 2, but worse, because of the camera & its heavy controls. Blocking during melee is pointless in it, since u always take damage when doing so, even with all defense upgrades purchased, while dodging causes u to take no damage at all & is extremely easy to exploit- ragardles of the level of difficulty, which means buying defense upgrades is simply a waste of credits; like in TL0U 2 u can't dodge grab attacks, but u can't block them either, so blocking is still pointless regardig the dodging. However, it's kinda hilarious that the guy always moves like a snail, due to how slow he's, but when dodging- suddenly is like a boxer with SUPER agile reflexes, armed with an electified cricket bat!
