Hmmmmmmmmmmmm is this game worth playing at all?
I keep hearing great atmosphere but the controls suck.

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
The controls are terrible, the atmosphere is alright and it's very repetitive - but for $4 it's a steal.
Controls are kinda heavy feeling like the new Resident Evil's, but in this game it makes sense since you are in a heavy ass suit of armor. Played it on the ps3 used for 25 bucks and didn't feel ripped off so $4 dollars would be an awesome price.
Couple things to remember
-If it is anything like the sequel, v-sync is capped at 30 fps so don't use the in game option
-there is a bug where a scripted sequence will not occur if v sync is turned off

I paid $50 to play through it twice on the PC and it was worth it imo. That being said, Dead Space 2 puts it to shame majorly.
Just noticed that DS2 is also on sale. Pick that one up as well. Both are great but DS2 trumps it.
Oh and another be warned segment
The PC version of DS2's hardcore mode is bugged. When you complete it you are supposed to unlock the "handcannon" but it does not. Only way to get it is to edit a system file(google it). I have the honored priviledge of keeping a save file handy so i have proof of my hard work - that mode is rough
On the flip side, the latest patch(I bought retail so not sure if Steam version is applicable) gives you the dlc weapons/armors for free. It does make the game easier but they are optional.

Yeah, the DS2 dlc weapons/armor are way overpowered imho. You don't have to work for the newer weapons/armor; they were free in the in-game virtual stores and available since the begnning. This essentially gave me little incentive to use the credits for things other than ammo, cores, etc.
I'm not a huge fan of TPS but I'll give DS1 a go and, if I enjoy it, get DS2 next time it goes as a discount.
No DS2 in Germany although you can buy it in stores (almost) uncut.
How's that "import games" option coming along anyway, Gabe? Thought I heard something about that a while back.

Um, yeah. I see what is meant by the controls being weird and sluggish.
I've only played this for about fifteen minutes and I wonder whether they purposefully made the controls this way to increase the vibe because I started to get motion-sickness. That hasn't happened since Quake 1.
I need to spend a bit more time adjusting mouse sensitivity.
This could be a good game but I might need some airlines barf bags if this keeps up.

Yeah, well there are parts of the game where you jump from surface to surface in no gravity/vacuum. So good luck with motion sickness there!

Normally FOV doesn't bother me, but I felt insanely cramped when I first tried to play it
Combine that with the controls, menus, etc and it killed it for me
I did like what bit I did play, so while it could easily be a great game, it was a shitty port

I found it painful to play for the above reasons, and also because it was a very heavily 'Doom 3 alike', yet failed on the atmosphere. But I did enjoy it and play it through to the finish.
The atmosphere of both DS games is superb. Amazing series overall and haven't found any problems with the control on the PC version (Dead Space 2, I mean).

Even if you hate Dead Space 1 or don't like it, you should still get Dead Space 2, it's awesome!
Yeah DS1 is a good game. At least the first couple of times you play it, imho. There's no variation in monster placement. What you can do is play it on a higher skill level like "survival" iirc. Less health, more damage etc.
Still, didn't regret getting it. Game looked amazing. Some of the weaponry felt useless, while others did great. Guess it's just a personal thing. Isaac's armour looks and feels very cool. Especially the highest level suit.
There are also some minigames every now and then.

DS is absolutely amazing, but don't bother with Kb+m and plug in a 360 controller. It is infinitely better.
