Trying to finally finish this and move on to Dead Space 2. Playing on normal, I have died three times before getting to the turret where I am now at the end of Chapter 4 and it is really unfortunate how shitty it is. I've been on it for 20 minutes now and I still haven't beat it. The controls feel extremely off and I can't adjust the sensitivity on the controller. Starting to wish I was playing on pc. 

Yep. That part is almost game breaking its so bad. 
Just struggle through it and you wont regret it. It may take a lot of effort but you'll be glad you did. Be happy in knowing they realized those parts sucked and I hear they did not use them in the second game (hooray!).
 
BTW I have the first, not the second. I'm getting the second when my Tax returns come back. Its one of a few things on my list anyway.

ha, try finishing it with 40 damage remaining!

Yeah, that part is awful. And I will eventually get all the trophies on that game, but you need to get through that with 50% health. Fuck. I have quite a task.

Well, I finally beat it about 7 minutes after making this post. I can't believe something like this didn't get a red flag from play testers.

lol indeed. Ironically THE hardest part of getting the platinum trophy. Insane mode is a cake walk compared to that one turret part on any difficulty. "

If you weren't even past chapter 4, why would you play DS1 before 2? "

The Turret part with the asteroids? Am i the only one here who did not have a problem with it at all? Im playing normal on the PC with an Xbox controller, and I did it on my first try.

As a general rule, turret parts always suck.

Fuck that trophy. I S-RANKED THAT BITCH YOU KNOW!
 
The part leading up to it and coming back is really cool though. Any time that game plays with gravity (you know, its one really unique feature) it gets awesome.

I really can't understand how people are having so much trouble with this part. Getting through it with 40 damage was tough, but just finishing that part wasn't really that bad.

As jeff talked about in the a.r.e.s. quicklook, turrets always suck. And yeah in my playing through so far that has been the worst part.

Even worse when you try for the trophy/achievement.

I liked that part.

I don't understand why everybody complains about the turret section.  This part really isn't very hard.  You know there are two turrets, right?  L1 and R1 both have their own guns.  Not knowing that is the only way I can imagine somebody having such a hard time with this.

Seems like there's only 2 of us. "

That part was a pain and the first time I heard Hammond say the words "cannon" and "asteroids" I got a sinking feeling about what was coming. Ugh. Definitely the worst of the minigames. Thankfully the second time you're on the cannon isn't nearly as annoying.

Who here actually played DS1 on PC with a keyboard and mouse?  I did it with both a controller and mouse and let me tell you, it is definitely more of a hassle on a controller, with the mouse guaranteeing that you will not get hit once with good aim.

So the first one WRECKED me. Second turret sequence was a breeze. Hmmmmm. Though the second one is waaaay cooler as a set piece.

Only weak part of Dead Space, in my opinion.

Hell ya that part sucks.  I remember I kept failing at it and i raged quit and did play in in a couple days.  When back to it pissed me off again and I still don't know how I passed that it was just luck.  There is no tips for it just keep going at it and eventually you will pass it

It was annoying, especially when going for the achievement, but I don't remember it being all the difficult.

Beat the first turret part on my second try on normal. It was challenging and to be honest I only had about 10 life remaining, but still managed it. The second turret bit I beat on my first try, I didn't like it as much as the first part though, which I actually thought was pretty cool. Especially when it starts auto-aiming at the asteroids, that was awesome -  I watched it for about 3 minutes.

4.  i thought it was a nice change of pace. Anyone that had trouble with it probably just sucks. "

Agreed, I thought it bit so much in that game that I completely repressed that part of Dead Space until someone brought it up either in a bombcast or quick look here on the site (Brad if I recall).
