I'm not that big a fan of DC comics but I'm really excited about this game. It looks really solid from all the footage they've released and green arrow looks fucking awesome.
I hope that they do as good a job with the story mode as they did in Mortal Kombat. I thought the story mode in that game was truely fun and interesting to play through, even multiple times.
If you just want a flurry of games and dont care about the latest and greatest then its worth it
They've improved their delivery date service significantly, I've been getting all of my new release games day one since about a year and a half ago. You just have to have your Q open by the day the games ship.
People flip out at the stupidest shit these days. I thought the ending was good, not great but I enjoyed it. In fact, the last hour (rebuilding the machine) was one of the highest points for the series. I think a lot of people just aren't letting go of this micro-transaction thing and just want to see this game fail. I say fuck 'em, bring on Dead Space 4!
Yes that is all what it is. Not the let down in combat, the over use of monster closets, the lack of any kind of tension, no horror elements, the forced drama, carver, the stupid whinny new boyfriend, the boring samey environment's, the complete lack of any story for 80% the game, the enemy's they spawn behind you, the fact that they only use jump scares, the optional missions are 90% filler with no point, useless antagonist, stupid antagonist, nonsensical antagonist, the enemy verity is non existent and the ending is to forced and have no challenge at all.
Nono my issues are only with the micro transactions. YUP!!! only reason.
It's not solely the micro transactions, it's just what exaggerated everyone's opinions so greatly. Dead Space 3 isn't better than Dead Space 2 but it's not a let down at all. A lot of your complaints aren't even valid to be honest.
The combat is the best it's been in the series with smoother dodge rolls and great weapon variety
There were way less monster closets than there were in dead space 2
There were plenty of tense moments, fighting 3 regenerators and having to open a door while dozens of creepy skeletal necromorphs are about to kill you were incredibly tense moments
There were optional missions that were oozing with horror elements(The 136 reaper mission had the creepiest logs and scenery in a dead space game)
The drama was a little forced at times, especially with norton's character so I'll give you that
Carver was a great character, the problem is that a lot of his missions are co-op only
Norton was whiny but he at least filled the antagonist role better than Danik did
Boring environments? This game finally took you out of space and into many outstanding new areas(especially in the third act)
If you read the objectives and logs on the way, you'd be more into the story. It's mostly about science but I loved it.
Wouldn't enemies spawning behind you make things tenser? I don't understand what you want.
Dead Space 1 and 2 were riddled with jump scares
The optional missions have some of the best moments of the game
I'll just couple the last three into one category but yes, Danik is a bad antagonist.
The enemy variety was pretty great this time around, there were a lot of new necromorphs including some really deadly new ones(Alien Necromorphs)
The ending was not forced at all, it's not a deus ex machina or anything, it's what the game was leading up to the whole time. They frequently tell you how it's going to end and what you need to do
I had no problems with the difficulty, it got a little easy near the end when I became overpowered but that's because I held on to all of my resources for dear life.

I really have to disagree with you on the above 8.0 comment. While the game does have some pacing problems, the first and third acts are fantastic. The last few chapters especially have some of the best set pieces of the series for me. Also, there are more necromorph varieties in Dead Space 3 than in the previous titles so I don't know what you based that judgement on.
@Atramentous: Who exactly are you to judge? I'm sure it was more productive than your 5yrs of WoW.
Daaaaaaamn
Anyway, while I think that bronies are a blight on gaming culture these days it's still kind of sad to see all that work go to waste. Unless, however they can actually, you know, be creative and draw up some new assets for the game.
