AusGamers was given the opportunity to be the first publication in APAC to review Dead Space 3 and writes:
"An incredibly deep and expanding story and much of the Dead Space feel returning, albeit turned down a little, as well as all the new systems and elements will definitely divide fans, but may be more accessible to newcomers, which is always welcomed with such a rich franchise. Even with the familiarity this delivers a monstrous amount of satisfaction..."

Either way, a hack.
The sentence structuring and words used are often so vague that you can't understand what's being said and the unnecessary thesaurus word implants (no doubt to attempt to look smart) just add to that confusion.
Take the opening paragraph for example:
Starting off your review with "Since its introduction with the first game" is absolutely horrible English. Simply change "its" to "Dead Spaces' " (take "Dead Space" out of the very next part as well) and the review doesn't start out on such a bad note. You never start anything with "its" unless that "its" has been established prior to referencing that thing otherwise your reader is instantly confused as to what the "its" is.
Then "This third in the main line of games"...does this one even need explaining? "This third in the main line of games" me English write good.
Followed up by 'and continuation of the centre story'. What centre story? What's a 'centre story'? Is this a building? Is it narrative based?
'is certainly very much narrative driven' more horrible English. 'Is certainly very much' wha?? "Is certainly narrative driven" works 'Is very much narrative driven" works "is certainly very much" makes no damn sense.
Then bringing that whole sentence together as 'This third in the main line of games -- and continuation of the centre story -- is certainly very much narrative driven -- a standout element of the overall product and one that delivers ten-fold.' The '--' is generally like parentheses and should be able to be taken out to form a proper sentence. To which if we do that, we get 'This third in the main line of games a standout element of the overall product and one that delivers ten-fold.'.....far out.
The doubling up of the '--' adds more confusion as to what you're reading as well mind you. Which part is meant to carry on to the next? Because none of those within the '--' carry on to form any kind of proper sentence.
I can't read the rest of this grade 2 dribble that makes the English language bow its own head in shame.
Oh god, I read on "Isaac’s desperation is attemptedly built"
WHAT THE HELL IS ATTEMPTEDLY?!!!!!!
/Problem Solved
You wrote Dead Spaces' instead of "Dead Space's." You also use apostrophes where you intended to use quotation marks (I think). 'Centre' is a regional spelling of "center." It means the main storyline.
"This third in the main line of games," can be fixed with a well-placed comma.
You also started a sentence with 'because.' That is improper. You also use too many ellipses at one point in your comment.
If you're going to be an English snob, you'd better be sure your own comment is correct.
Besides, who the fuck cares? The_Klank is right, you could have, no, 'should' have stopped with the first paragraph.
That one was just a confusion of me quoting and re-writing it several times to the point where I got the apostrophe mixed up (I wrote that one in late is what I'm saying - the simply change it to...etc.). However, you also used apostrophes where you intended to use quotation marks in your own post. ;)
The 2nd part to your comment about the "centre story" wasn't me mixing up "centre" and "center" as since I'm an Aussie I use the former term as well. My issue was that "centre story" isn't a turn of phrase, thus a confusing phrase to use (especially in context of where it is in that sentence). I get that I can put two and two together for something regarding a game, but just do it using an actual phrase that people can understand than "centre story" which has never been said by anyone before.
Lastly, I'm not writing for some publication claiming to be a professional outfit. The grammar, sentence structuring and overall form of writing in this review is deplorable. The last part to my post shows that extremely well:
"Isaac’s desperation is attemptedly built..."
How can you take a review seriously, when the written content obviously isn't serious in and of itself?
As for "who the fuck cares?" I do. I want to read a review that's not at the level of a grade 2 student believing they're smarter than they actually are. If you're going to write for a professional site, then damn well make sure you do it in a professional, well thought out and structured manner (and take out all the preachy superfluous word crap - nothing annoys me more than when reviewers stick in words just to make themselves sound smarter, again just like that "attemptedly" line). The only good thing about this review is that it's fairly comprehensive, the problem is that the content in it, is incomprehensible.
I played the demo and it seemed alright to me, i'm just not as hyped as i thought i would be for DS3, especially since i heard EA will be releasing 10 pieces of day 1 DLC lol but it's whatever.

so many games so little time, playing hitman absolution currently a excellent game not understanding all the hate
After the demo and what we've saw I find that very hard to believe
You sound like an EA PR guy
Have you played the game? No? Then stop throwing accusations because that is essentially what you're doing.
Don't be so paranoid.
You know the demo was to simply show off new content, right? As much as you'd hate to hear it, the game is shaping up to be much better than the demo led on.

This is why Root goes too far. He whines about having his opinion being heard but is quick to attack those who disagree with his agenda because that is all it is folks, an agenda on his behalf. He will spam articles on Dead Space 3 just like he did with DMC and will do the same thing with Tomb Raider.
He wants these games to fail and if anyone actually enjoys these games, God forbid, he gets upset.
Ha sorry man. I've taken to avoid Devil May Cry and Dead Space 3 articles like a plague because of the sheer immature nerd rage keyboard warriors on there. I'm not saying that the criticisms are not justified, its just the way people go about it.
The kind of rants you see here are really pathetic in my opinion. People just need to chill.
I get bored seeing his comments because he's so predictable.
He hasn't played the game,therefore he needs to shut up. Also if he cared so much about his "beloved franchises" he would ask nutcrackr questions on the game, and how does it relate to the previous installments, instead of using his trash "demo" argument. He's annoying to read and immature also.
"Also if he cared so much about his "beloved franchises" he would ask nutcrackr questions on the game, and how does it relate to the previous installments, instead of using his trash "demo" argument."
That would admit being wrong. He's a right-fighter and it would go against his agenda.

"I don't think root is trying to spam articles. He just loves these franchises alot and is worried they may go the RE route which alot of people are. I don't agree that DS3 is all action like he is saying but i see why people are so protective of it. One thing is for sure we all like dead space.He is just another passionate gamer like the rest of us."
I think I'm pretty hardcore too. In fact most people who take the time to create accounts and go online to discuss games in general are probably pretty hardcore. This isn't about being passionate, it's more in line with being an extremest. One who wants their opinion heard above all others. One who will create multiple accounts (which a moderator pointed out in another topic about him) to make it appear he's not too much of an extremist.
So no, passionate gamers don't argue with moderators and think everyone else is the problem but them. Passionate gamers are not quick to dismiss anyone else point of view. Passionate gamers don't discourage different views. They most certainly don't think anyone who opposes their views as being employees or PR people. Or think any positive review is paid off or part of a conspiracy plan. That's not being passionate, that's on the verge of being deranged.
thank god the human encounters in this game are really rare and short too,pretty much they only appear in ch1,10 and in the end.you spend 80% of the game in dark metal corridors too ;)
overall the game is pretty great and has a great plot twist when you are about 3/4 of the game, not to mention the game is pretty long.. took me 15 hours to beat it, i guess in hardcore and retro this will take more time.
My mate got the game early and he says ita bad, horrible humn encounters, rolling, shootouts, tons of ammo, grinding, john is a horrible character, ellie has been sexed up
I know EA sucks guys, that doesn't mean that every game they publish will suck, or is a ripoff. From what I've heard from people who have the game early, this game is really good and still has the dead space essence.
Now i'll play and see if it's a 9.
Oh dear.
Maybe I'll just do what I did with DS2, wait a week or two and find a copy for a little cheaper. But by that time Aliens:CM will be out and I'll be enjoying that.
just saying

I'd hate to see a franchise that's had 2 great games die because of a few changes
also comparing this to re 6 is a big insult without having played it
