Re: my thoughts on dead space 3!

The reason it feels off going from 4 to 2 weapons is because it's actually less this time around.

DS1 and 2 featured alternative fire modes on most weapons, so 4x that makes 8 different weapons (compared to DS3) while in here we're limited to 4 total, albeit very well done in my honest opinion.

Personally i completely love the modular weapon idea, but it should be a mix between the "node path" method and the modular path, hence i would suggest the upgrades on the frames themselves rather than the full weapons. Frames would support node paths and modular parts would make the actual weapon.

Also suits. DS1 upgrade system for RIG and suits was very straightforward. DS2 added to that with different suits and effects, however DS3 took a step back with JUST RIG upgrades and all suits doing exactly the same (purely cosmetic, some exceptions to story)

The one thing i (surprisingly) didn't like was the loss of ammo types. DS1 and 2 made me master inventory management and somehow it feels off compared to the older systems. This is what probably makes it more action less pure survival horror, but overall i did feel longing as you find so much ammo and healthkits (even on impossible) you won't ever need to buy or craft any, so essentially you can finish the game without having to store healthkits for critical moments, ammo for guns you want to use for situations and so on. It makes things go faster but also a lot less in depth.

Also i was saddened that they removed my favourite deadspace enemy but brought back an old one, albeit a lot less hazardous (that or i got tougher since DS1)

Namely the Divider (best awesome enemy ever in any horror game period) and the Twitcher.
The lack of the infector put my mind at ease since that was probably the most gruesome thing to hit gaming land in a long time. Luckily the little buggers took over his task so it's not entirely missing, but overall, if the infector was in this game, i'd have crapped myself multiple times before hitting unpause, then some more.

Overall this has got to be acknowledged as one of the better games in the DS series thus far, bringing enough new things to the table to stay fresh, adding Coop in ways most game developers can learn from and generally continue onward in that old fashioned horrendous spirit that is deadspace. Sadly some things were lost as well, but it seems to me visceral knows their bizniz so i presume they take all the feedback they can.

Not gonna give some random number between 0-10 because i don't believe in that sort of thing.

I like the weapon crafting it is cool all the different combos you can make. In this game I can make a gun that I want unlike in the other dead space game were you get what they give you. But for the suits I think most of them look stupid except the engineering and first contact. I wish they would have the suits like in dead space 2 were you get benefits from them.
