As soon as I get the money im gonna download this DLC. I'm very closing to platinuming this game the only problem is the retarded HARDCORE MODE!!! i mean honestly, I could understand its for hardcore gamers who sit in front of the t.v 24/7, but for others I feel as though they shouldv'e tweaked it down a little at least make the save spots with more numbers instead of 3.

RankFTW4796d ago

I managed to do my hardcore run in just over 6 hours so it's not that bad really.

Croash4795d ago (Edited 4795d ago )

Yeah, about Hardcore, it's not that long at all.
I used my three saves every 1 hour 30 of gameplay, so the last one happened at Chapter 10.
Hadn't I died because of a certain eye sequence after around 1 hour 40 of save-less gaming, I would have finished the game in 6 hours 30.
That's almost half the time it took me to complete the game on Zeolot, and it's not even THAT hard (basically, you're doing a Speed-run in a mode called Hardcore. It might sound weird but that's really what it is).

Well my deaths weren't monsters related, only Time-based/QTE/eye (that last one I simply hated, all my efforts wasted so I must start Hardcore mode from the beginning to make sure I save right at the end of Chapter 13...eh. That's Hardcore's only problem, you have to know where you'll die before knowing where to save.
-----------------------------
Now about the DLC, as it is the topic, I believe Severed is worth $7, its short story is nice to follow, the main character is more interesting than Isaac (oddly enough) and actually utters words that should have been Isaac's in the main game, and the ending leaves you shocked.
But as it costs 7€ on the French PSN, which is like $9, I can only say a big huge "Fuck you, Visceral Games" for trying to rip me off with a 1 hour long adventure happening in a multiplayer map and an area from the beginning of Dead Space 2.
This was done before Dead Space 2 went gold for sure, they simply took it away from the game to make players pay more.
Had it been 5€ like it should have, I might have considered buying it, but no, they're messing with their players, the same stuff happened for Dante's Inferno (selling souls? Really?), the same stuff happened for Dead Space 1 (selling armors and weapons, really?), and Dead Space 2's armors packs were released 1 day before the game's European release. Uh. What?!

Dead Space 2's 'Severed' DLC Is the 'Sequel' You Probably Never Played

Dead Space 2: Severed is the culmination of a whole varied canon of wonderful sci-fi stories, which was abandoned in Dead Space 3. But that's OK.

It’s weird, that it was never released on the PC.

MadLad1548d ago

Yup. Played it on PC. Dead Space 1 and 2 are some of my all time favorite games. Didn't even know this was a thing.

Double_O_Revan1548d ago

I love Dead Space and I don't remember this either.

Unspoken1548d ago

Would love to see these remastered or a continuation of the series. I loved the comic short series they had to add to the story.

Dirtnapstor1548d ago

Played it. A remaster of all things Dead Space would be welcomed by me. DS1 & 2 had such a great campaign.

1548d ago
SmielmaN1548d ago

Agreed. Dead Space and Dead Space 2 are a couple of my all time favs.

Towers1547d ago

I would have thought that the success of RE re-masters would have convinced EA to remaster these for the next gen machines.

sprinterboy1547d ago

It's EA remember lol.
Mind boggles why no remake

AnotherGamer1548d ago

Its also very short giving the price and such.

Juiceid1548d ago

Sheeeeiiit. I’m one of the nut jobs that got that achievement for beating the game on the hardest difficulty with only using three saves for the entire run. I hope to play more Dead Space again before I’m old and full of arthritis!

Misa1548d ago

I did it too on three save for the entire run!
Hope we get to play Dead Space again.

P_Bomb1548d ago (Edited 1548d ago )

I remember doing Severed day one. It was actually a direct sequel to Dead Space: Extraction (Gabe & Lexine). Being that Extraction came free with DS2, throwing a coin to finish the fight was a no-brainer.

Even with all the hate 3's getting, I'm still a fan of the series. Didn't even know this was a thing, but I just picked up a copy from Amazon.

Gamerevolution: Best DLC Add-On 2011

What’s better than wracking your brain to come up with solutions to the most elaborate spatial puzzles ever thought up by the most deranged, egotistical, and homicidal AI this side of HAL 9000? Doing it with a friend, of course! Portal 2 gave us more than just a fantastic new single-player installment, which probably would have been enough to satisfy most fans in its own right. The multi-player portion represents an evolution of the original’s ingenious gameplay, allowing for even more complex puzzles with two players working in tandem.

... it's GOOD DLC, and it's FREE, so finally a developers who cares, respects and rewards it's fanbase, instead of nickel-and-diming it.

Huge respect for VALVE, and this kinda stuff earns them love and loyalty from their fans. Something too many other developers and publishers either fail to realise, or fail to care about.

Yi-Long4500d ago

...cause all their DLC is free as well, and they found a nice way to do so in-game, or else Microsoft would have demanded it to be content that users would have to pay for.

I love Team Meat.
