    I always thought it was based on the video content and he's linked a review does that still count as spam?
     
    Honest question.
     
    (And if it is, how is this more of a spam topic than, "Are you a mouth breather?" just sayin')
     
     
    Also having now watched the video, the gameplay looks too similar to the first and I got bored with that by the end of the first.

    Urgh. IGN? "Hey, the game has controls! Instantly 5/10! Hey, it's mildly enjoyable! I smiled once while playing it! It has graphics! Instant 8/10! I smiled more than once! 10/10!" - okay, I'm being unfair, but IGN are not known for being discerning reviewers who have high standards.

    I would not call this Youtube spam, as it's actually relevant to what the site is about, and isn't just some idiot making backflips.

    I never expected the multiplayer to be much good. Some games just don't need it EA.
     
    The single player on the other hand looks fantastic. I still need to play the first Dead Space before getting around to this one though.

    Oh man, why'd they have to taint the goodness of Dead Space with multiplayer.
     
    EDIT: But damn did that look fine, I'm gonna pick this up sometime soon. Not a fan of IGN's standards, though.

    I am so pumped for this game. Not long now to play it. Personally I don't care one way or the other about the multiplayers quality because I was never going to touch it anyway. As long as the main story line stands up.

    astounding contribution. what would we do without you?  hmm, still not sold on this. i'll give it a go if i get a chance to play it but so far it just looks like your typical "am i going crazy?" story attached to some jump scares. also, was that really an ign review? seemed pretty amateurish. "

    To clarify, I'm under the impression that if someone post a YT vid with little or no discussion by the OP then it counts as spam. That's why I flagged, if that's not the case then I'm sorry

    @Quemador: If you like survival horror games.Where it has a creepy atmosphere while your in isolation.Trying to conserve as much ammo as possible.While thinking of the best tactics to taking down enemies.Then more then likely your going to like this game.

    i just got dead space the original on steam for 6 bucks so I'm looking forward to playing it, I get freaked out fairly easily, course i said that when i started playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and now its like playing any other game. so hopefully its the same with Dead space.

    Looks like I'll be getting this, only dissapointment is that it's linear. I liked exploring the bigger areas in Dead Space 1.

    Not really excited for the multiplayer stuff anyway, but it is good to hear that single player is solid. I dug the demo and I cannot wait for this to come to PC. 
     
    I also don't really mind it seems to be the cool thing nowadays to throw a mp mode in there for shits and giggles. Sometimes it works like Assassin's Creed and we get to experience this new gameplay. Unfortunately it looks like it just didn't quite work for Dead Space. Actually, I just keep thinking about how awesome a co-op Mass Effect game would be.

    Did you see the great review comparison that GameJournalistsAreIncompetentFuckWits.com did? They took IGN's 'Greatest Disappointments of All Time' feature and compared the games listed there with the reviews they originally received from IGN.  
     
    Barely a single one received less than an 8 and many had 9s. I get that there's a difference between being 'disappointing' and 'bad' but still, it does go on to talk mad yang about the games listed regardless. Inconsistent to say the least.
