Some thought it would be a direct sequel. Some scratched their heads, wondering why EA would bring a Dead Space game to the Wii. When it was announced that Dead Space: Extraction was going to be a rail shooter, some expressed disappointment. However, anyone that has played House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, House of the Dead Overkill, or Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles can attest that the Wii is the best way to play gun games in the home short of owning your own arcade cabinet. Knowing this made me more interested in Dead Space: Extraction."

So it’s my duty to introduce you to the best Dead Space games, and one very, very bad one. It’s time to grab a plasma cutter, cut off the limbs of terrifying necromorphs, and decide once and for all (on this website) which of the Dead Space games reigns supreme!"
I played all three. Didn't find them fun, just had nothing to play. I don't think I beat third game though. Combat was super clunky, graphics and art design were ugly imo, story in first game wasn't too bad, rest were meh.
Over hyped series imo, also it doesn't help horror games don't scare me, so I guess that's a big reason for me too.
Play Alien Isolation on Hard or Nightmare.
Start on the movie DLC so that you don’t have to play a bunch of campaign in order to find out if you’ll be scared.
I heard that was a good one. Honestly vr games scare me with jump scares because of how the threat feels real.
There isn’t an official VR mode, unfortunately.
The audio should pull you right in if you use headphones.
Just finished playing the first, enjoyed the fact Isaac was a silent alien crushing psycho doom-guy type. Just started the second yesterday and I'm annoyed he's a talker now and sounds like a regular guy who hasn't been through hell, but I suppose he couldn't remain silent.
Dead Space 2 is my favorite followed by 1 then 3. All are good to me though. Just beat all 3 on series X and they hold up.
This week the Link Cable Gaming crew gets all dressed up in their finest Halloween garb to discuss their favorite horror and even just spooky games in a special Halloween episode!
The decision to close the studio and shift the focus of the Star Wars game is not a statement about the future for single-player games, EA says.
"'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service.'"
What kind of a stupid mindset is that? It didn't need to be a damn live service. Single player games can work and you have the damn Star Wars name attached to it so it will sell well regardless of it having MP or not.
How can you say this.
"We are seeing an evolution in the marketplace, and it became clear to us that to deliver an experience that players wanted to come back and enjoy for a long time, that we needed to pivot the design."
And then say this in the very next paragraph.
"It wasn't about, 'This was just a single-player game [and it] needed to be a live service."
I would say "do they really think people are this stupid?" But since people keep buying EA games after all the crap they have done over the years and decades that made gaming worse... I guess, yes, yes they are.
