Funny Dead Space 2 Add

This ad hurts 'our' image because it's advertising a 17+ game as appealing because it scares your mom. Is it a selling point for legal adults that a game is too upsetting for little old ladies? It's borderline immoral because it seems to be catering to an audience legally underage to buy/play it, at a time when the self-moderation of games is being reviewed by the US Supreme Court. Thanks EA, but you're not helping.

I liked how Dead Space served the violence and gore. It was not like something "The Hill Have Eyes" or "Hostel" or "Saw". It has something different that I liked. I watched those movies without any censor btw.

Mom hates thing is stupid, maybe stupidest way to put this. I didn't like it. This ad decreased the value of the game for me.

I think it's hilarious but also it doesn't convince me to buy DS2 at all. I played the original and hated it. I might like the new one if the controls don't suck a big turd, but whatever.

The odd thing is that it's supposed to be a horror game but none of them are screaming. Just grossed out.

That's hilariously true. Unfortunately. I'm looking forward to this game (the controls do suck ass) though.

— Stephen King

The first Dead Space, while kinda fun as a game, failed on the horror front with its cheap scares and the over 9000 beheading animations which got boring after an hour. This one looks just as lame and childish.
I honestly don't understand how DS is more respected than Siren, Fatal Frame, Call of Cthulhu or Amnesia.

Because Dead Space is much more a mainstream game than games you counted. Siren and Fatal Frame exclusive games and people who don't own a console, like me, don't have a chance to try them.

Cthulhu and Amnesia doesn't provide the action that Dead Space provided, though people who are fanboys of Black OPS'ish games didn't like Dead Space as well.

You can see topics like "I got bored after 5 minutes" of playing Amnesia, and these people claim to be gamer, while they are nothing more than Plato's caveman. So, trying to understand them will not provide anything useful, that is, unless you want to put a pure action game which has no story and implemented for 10 years old head-shooters.

Dead space was ok. It was a bit like system shock, which I liked.

But it's one of these ones where the first one is good so big money gets behind it and leeches it for a sequel. Games are being used like movies more and more. The publishers know that if they pump enough advertising into it enough people will be compelled to buy it regardless of content.

Just like anything that was ever good and then ruined by a sequel.

And that happens because people buy the games one way or another.

I mean, Call of Duty isn't a bad game, but after MW it does not have anything really new, you know, it's just more of the same over and over... But it still sells A LOT. just an example.

Now go and say this to a COD fanboy... Big Grin

The topic is shifting slightly, but that also reminds me of the sports games that are virtually unchanged but still released every year.
