Playdate: Dead Space (06/15/2020)

That last discussion about Nee-So-Leh was classic

@vinny We called those drinks Quarter Water.

Time for Shadows of the Damned.

The flickering lights are making my head hurt. I've never had this experience before.

DS2 is an excellent game. They do a great job fleshing out Issac as a character (no longer a silent protagonist).

Great playthrough!

@mathey: i seriously thought she was doing a bit, i was cracking up

@jbourne37: Shadows of the Damned is so much worse than you remember. The best bit is probably the obvious Evil Dead reference early on. Do you recall the boring 2D Gradius sections?

Dead Space 2 has the best combat and pacing (relatively). It's very similar to RE4, The Evil Within, and RE3 Remake in how you're just kinda moving forward constantly. Dead Space 3 was designed for co-op and making use of microtransactions (in a lot of really bad ways). The one plus is that enemies have a sense of weight to them that they didn't in the previous games, in that your weapons need to have real stopping power to be effective. This makes the gunplay both different and enjoyable... when you're not being slammed against the wall repeatedly (once again, the enemy encounters are designed for two players). And honestly, you can easily cheese singleplayer on the higher difficulties with some extremely useful gear combinations.

On that note, I'd love to see Tabby play The Evil Within. Although flawed, it's my favorite third-person horror shooter. It's been so long that I can't even remember what my first playthrough was like.

Waterworld Film and 40s yes please. What a great terrible movie

@bathala: Don't forget that Soleil Moon Frye is a real person (Punky Brewster)

@kyniro: Yeah, I revisited it last year and oh boy. It has not aged well. I still love the core gameplay, though. The big boner and shmup sections are lame, the humor is juvenile as hell, and the way the game treats Paula is way grosser to me now that I'm older and slightly less dumb. Despite the massive flaws, I still can't deny that I enjoy it.

"fuck off" is right

Nicoise salad!?!?!?!?!

Vinny got Fireboylt.

@jbourne37: Shadows of the Damned is a very good idea

If I visit a city for the first time I always try to find the time to check out the local cathedrals. They're all fascinating and awesome. It's also really interesting reading about how they were funded and built over decades, sometimes even for over a hundred years.

my wife!

Clue Crew nailed it again - Vinny

Abby has the controller nearly covering her face lol

Nee-so-lay is the boss of Dead Space 4

The stars have aligned. EA Access is currently 99 cents for a month, and it includes Shadows of the Damned.

I love/loved Dead Space 2, so definitely on board if they decide to do a playthrough of that at some point. One of my favorite Quick Looks too.

Thanks for the playthrough of this one, it was a pretty entertaining one!

Enjoyed the play-through. Look forward to seeing you rock your way through Dead Space 2 hopefully in the future.

Thank you Abby and crew for the fun.

I'm more of a fan of male organs

I would've died laughing if after mentioning the movie Carrie, Abby says "Such a classic movie, Chloe Grace-Moretz is great in it"

Thank you Abby, Vinny, Alex. This was a lot of fun to watch. Hope to see you play Dead Space 2.

This playthrough was a lot of fun

Would love to see Dead Space 2 eventually but more than that I wanna see Abby check out the origins of Resident Evil with RE:make.

@jbourne37: oof i like that game but the “big boner” shit was cringe at the time, i can’t imagine it playing now.

Clue Crew strikes again! Nisole. Waiting for the Film & 40's Waterworld. I did enjoy these Playdates, this was also my first time seeing Dead Space through. Time to start RE2 Leon B!! (I'm cool with whatever's next)

Awesome. Super enjoyed this. Definitely hope you all go through Dead Space 2 at some point. It's mostly really fucking outstanding.

As someone who has started reading the Bible as an adult to see what it's all about. I recommend the "New International Version" it's much easier to read and had less of the flowery language and the begats and thous.

"Nissolay"

Wow, that last bit with Abby "solving" the secret was simultaneously cringeworthy but also hilarious.

Resident Evil 7 next!!!
