dead space är one of my favourite franchise ever. but...
with this third one, i dont like the upgrade system and that you can duck down for some strange reason.
if dead space 4 realeases, plz fix back old upgrade system :D
i have to admit my feelings about the upgrade/weapons system in ds 3 a kind of mixed,
in ds 1 and 2 i was able to carry 4 weapons with each having a primary and secondary feature.
in ds 3 i only got 2 which i can config to my needs with an assortment of primary and secondary weapon functions,
but in the end i only got 2 weapons with an odd combination of features instead of 4 with primary and secondary functions that compliment each other.
sure its all up to how i put the stuff together to get a good working tool, but i feel like i have less options somehow.
i played my fist round of ds3 on hard and ended up using weapons with a high rate of fire and mediocre or low damage like the chaingun, repeater or rail accellerator, instead of high powered, slow firing mining tools or industrial weaponry, because i was swarmed by large numbers of necromorphs all the time. which is sad because i wasnt using my limited edition weapons alot this way, cause waiting for the weapon to be firing again while a swarm of feeders and other nasty things were coming at you meant you were going to die horribly...
the suit upgrades were kind of disappointing aswell, when i first looked at the upgrade screen i thought how cool it would be when you put all the stuff on your suit and you would be able to see the things like extra armor, bigger stasis and kinesis modules etc, but i soon realized nothing was going to show up on my suit.
also the investment of resources on the air upgrade was pretty pointless because you were only using air in 5 or 6 chapters and pretty much only for relatively short spans of time in these chapters, like going back and forth between the derelict ships in orbit of tau volantis, you pretty much never use it again after landing on the planet
so yeah kinda mixed feelings 😕mileyindifferent:
1. upgrade system is horrible
2. im maybe half way through the game. and ive never changed suit? WTF where are they?
3. only same ammo types? WHAT?
4. the duck system is so chilish amateur like ☹️ remove it completely
5. you can make own weapons? WTF
6. new stuff isnt explained well enough to understand.
ds1 and ds2 was BEST OF THE BEST. not the third one ☹️
I have to disagree with one of your complaints, only one though.
Isaac's ability to craft his own weapons is actually quiet delightful. It is not WTF at all
because he is supossed to be one skilled Engineer. Him crafting his own stuff is like
the first time we really get to see that knowledge. Most of the "guns" he used in DS1
and 2 were just mining tools. It makes sense that he knows how to for example combine
a cutter with something else.
Still, I won't deny that I miss for example different ammo. Universal takes away so much strategy
it is depressing really. Just shoot, shoot, shoot and prey that UA won't run out. Lazy CoD stuff.
