[Copied from my old account] I will go out on a record here and say that i generally like this game. Still a horror game, although with a couple strange design choices, and the horrendous inclusion of microtransactions (because god forbid EA makes a game these days that isn’t trying to scam the player out of their money) don’t believe it’s the ‘horrible series-killer’ that everyone makes it out to be; because it is frankly not a bad game. It plays fine, it looks great, the enemies are pretty cool, and the weapons a pretty alright too. This game is definitely underrated, and deserved so much more love for its visceral experience than it received.

Пройдено на PC, случайно нажал на X360. На удивление, довольно хорошая игра. Да, страха уже никакого нет, атмосферности первых частей тоже, но появился бодрый экшн. Врагов стало много, но и оружия заметно прибавилось, изза того, что его можно крафтить и настраивать под свой стиль боя. Я всю игру пробегал с одним и тем же, постепенно улучшая его до максимума. Добавили врагов людей, но они не представляют ничего интересного с т.з. геймплея. Сюжет, правда, не очень интересный, не цепляет как раньше, да и концовка (настоящая), оставляет много вопросов. Графика вроде как улучшилась, но лично я заметил ухудшение в плане освещения - многие небольшие объекты перестали отбрасывать тени, хотя в сиквеле это было. Также пострадали анимации смерти - Айзек просто падает и всё, нет тех вычурных анимаций, что были раньше, сэкономили. Удивила странная система сейвов, когда игра реально сохраняется только на ключевых чекпоинтах, хотя если умрешь, то есть промежуточные. По итогу, пару раз пришлось перепроходить довольно большие куски т.к. чекпоинтов немного. Головоломок немало, и есть весьма заковыристые.
В целом, игра не такая плохая, как о ней отзываются. Да, заточена под кооп и есть миссия, которую соло не пройти, однако никаких сложностей в прохождении не возникало.

Good Game.Even though it's less appreciated than the first two,DS3 is fun and provides a good conclusion to the trilogy.
Great saga

"Dead Space 3" is a good action game, but a poor sequel. Unlike the first two, this is NOT survival horror. Instead, it's a third person shooter similar to "Lost Planet" and "Gears of War". Sadly, the game has recycled enemy types that repeat too often. But I do like that you can create your own weapons. Also, the single player sub-missions and the two player co-op missions are nice additions. And finishing the game unlocks several modes that add replay value. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.6 out of 10.

A decent enough story. The action is amped up which takes away from some of the scares and atmosphere of the first 2 games. I do believe this game got more hate at the time than it deserved, but it is for sure inferior to the original 2 games.

Dead Space ruined part 3, but rather EA's desire to make an atmospheric horror cooperative shooter from the 3rd person. Dead Space 3 has squandered all its atmosphere. The plot, although trying to reveal the original source of all events, does it terribly. The gameplay in general was originally made for a cooperative, which contradicts the entire target audience. Because of this, some story clips generally roll into cringe. The gameplay has also degraded a lot and has become more shooter. And given that the 3rd part came out under the decline of the console generation, the Xbox360/PS3 power was no longer enough to pull it out. Ultimately, we got mostly a mediocre product as part of the Dead Space series. But in general, as an independent game, Dead Space 3 is no longer bad. You understand this especially well after 10+ years, when you watch how the games have degraded. Dead Space 3 is more pleasant to play than the conditional The Callisto Protocol. It was first held in 2024 on the Xbox 360 and had fun. Just a good game that was ruined by EA's greed.

This is a poor sequel, but a decent action game. Unlike the first two, this is NOT survival horror. Instead, it is a third-person shooter comparable to "Lost Planet" and "Gears of War". Sadly, "Dead Space 3" is filled with recycled enemy types and boring boss fights. While I appreciate the lengthy campaign and sub-missions, the gameplay does get repetitive. Playing in co-op adds additional missions and story elements. Also, finishing "Space 3" unlocks extra bonus content including a "Classic" mode. Overall, I would rate this with a 7.3 out of 10.

Say what you will, DS3 is a fine game, a great continuation to the story and an overall amazing experience. It is by far the darkest (and that light effect makes every scene a masterpiece of horror). As for the people who critic the soldiers, I honestly believe they never played the game since it is such a minor instance in an overall GREAT game. Haters will always hate.

Lo finalicé en la Xbox360, en la Playstation 3, luego en Origin, y más **** en PS3 otra vez, además de estar ahora dándole en Steam con un amigo. Sinceramente, es de los mejores de la saga, el segundo me gustó bastante, pero no hay nada como el primero y esta **** primero porque se centra muchisimo en el miedo, aunque tiene cosas arcaicas como lo de los saltos en la gravedad cero y es algo más tosco, pero este tiene todo lo mejor de los dos anteriores. Añadiendo algo más de acción, buenos sustos y buena tensión, sobretodo el argumento, mucho más profundo y con escenas épicas.Creo que la gente lo ha valorado poco, dicen que no es un survival horror, pero lo han mejorado de una manera brillante. Sé que tiene momentos estresantes, como la escalada de la montaña y alguna que otra misión secundaria, pero es único.Recomendado al 100% y lo dice alguien que se lo acabó en tres ocasiones.

With Dead Space 3, EA chose profit over quality and forced this once great horror franchise to become an action, co-op shooter with microtransactions.

A real stepback for the series that strayed too far from the horror roots that made the original 2 so great. The Co-Op edition was a cool edition. There is some pretty cool set pieces throughout as it does focus more on action.

What a disappointment. Take one of my new favorite horror series, and turn it into a co-op Gears of War with microtransactions. There's not much nice I can say about this game. The environment and enemy design I decent I guess, and the side quest feature adds appreciated lore. Unfortunately, this military shooter has nothing scary about it. This game is incredibly easy on even hard difficulties, sapping all tension and fear from the monsters, and the modding system only makes it worse. You can make ridiculously unbalanced weapons, I beat Dead Space 3 on the hardest difficulty using a single weapon the entire playthrough. And the story. It legitimately feel like the writers used the TV Tropes site as a reference. Dead Space 1 had this problem, but 3 blows it up to the max, even ripping off other EA properties for their main antagonists. And despite 3 having way more characters than any previous entry, not a single one am I left with positive impressions, even pre existing characters get ruined. Maybe buy this if it's extremely cheap and you want a game to mess around with your friends on, but don't go in expecting a satisfying sequel or horror game.

Don't go into the game expecting the aura or mood of the first game. But if you're expecting a great action game with big set-pieces, you won't be disappointed. The weapon system takes time and patience to learn, and also enough progress to get the parts and circuits required to craft these great weapons, but if you stick with it, there's a LOT to love here! I'm itching to do another playthrough ASAP!

Dead Space 3 isn’t a bad game, it’s just how it’s completely different from ESPECIALLY the first game and mostly the second game as well.

Dead Space 3 is a lot more focused on action rather than horror. For most horror series' that is usually when the series starts to go downhill. While Dead Space 3 is not as good as the first two games, it is still a great game. That's mainly because the core gameplay of those games are still here. The gameplay is still as good as the first two games. The open-world space exploration sections are great and fun to fly around in. There is a lot of customization options for weapons and armor. The story is ok. My main issue with the game is that it isn't scary at all.

I absolutely LOVE THIS GAME!! There's sooooooooo MUCH to do, fighting, puzzles, adventure, weapon creation is amazing. It's like BioShock and Singularity had a smart child and called him/her Dead Space 3!!!! There's a bunch of people online crying, saying, it's not like and 2 at all, not horror enough. Well, me, not being a huge fan of horror games, I'm happy with it. I don't have 1 and 2, went straight to 3 and kinda glad I did now, cuz there's just enough monsters for me. It offers everything I love accept for only 1 thing, stealth/sniper stuff, but I think it's perfect.

Dead Space 3 is a cautionary tale of what was to come in the gaming industry. This game has a lot of issues due to Electronics Art putting some of the best and most fun weapons in the game behind a pay wall in an in-game cash shop. These micro transactions were just the beginning of where the gaming industry was heading. Putting that aside Dead Space 3 is still a solid fun game to play but is lacking compared to the first two games. The gun play is different from the first two games in that you only get two weapons, but each has 2 changeable attachments for two ways to shoot on each gun. The enemies in the game also feel different in that shooting limbs is less important compared to how much damage your gun does which was a bad change from previous iterations. Another unnecessary change is the crafting system which just doesn't feel as fun or as important as the first two due to the lack of impact upgrading weapons has. The game play and crafting is still fun and solid but the changes just seem unnecessary and slightly off. The horror atmosphere is pretty much nonexistent in Dead Space 3 which kind of makes sense considering Isaac is a certified necromorph killer. The story and characters in this game are more of a step down from the previous two games, the characters have cheesy dumb interactions and deaths for the sake of just advancing the plot. The story is a little better than the characters its got an interesting plot that is horribly executed due to cheesy characters. The game is still solid and fun to play through, but it is a step down in every aspect from the first two and it has terrible micro transaction forced into the game by EA that ruin it further.

This game is bad mediocre it's not scary though I do like the enemy designs I think the setting had potential, but it was wasted and the id skip on this game unless you really care about the story of dead space and even then, I think the story isn't done as well as the first two

O mais fraco da franquia disparado, algumas ressalvas p certas boss fights incríveis e os cenários, mas o começo lento e a falta de momentos de tensão, deixa o jogo mto atrás dos outros

Dead Space 3 is the weakest of the trilogy that's not to say it's a bad game of course but when compared to it's predecessors it comes up short. The biggest thing for me in this game was the introduction of crafting mechanics. Which I just wasn't interested in at all. While you can create some neat weapons and weapon combos they limit you to two guns and most of the weapons aren't effective or fun to use. And because of the crafting system now all guns use the same ammo type which meant that I ended up just making the guns I wanted by the half way point in the game and then just stuck to them because why waste time making other less effective weapons when I already have what I need to beat the game. The game is also a lot easier with all ammo being the same and healing items in such abundance I beet the game with dozens of extra health packs in storage. And the setting and atmosphere just don't feel nearly as scary or intense as they did in the previous games. And while I thought the story was fine I didn't care much for the human drama parts and all the side characters are basically worthless in this game. Although the Co op companion character I did like just because when playing single player he just shows up for cutscenes and they act like he's important when you barley even see him. I know I'm being critical and I still think the game is enjoyable. The actual gun play is still good learning the lore is interesting and visually the game still holds up fairly well. But the game feels like it was a product born out of a desire from higher ups for the the game to imitate what was popular at the time. Especially the crafting and co op additions but al least they didn't make it so when playing single player you had to have an AI companion follow you around.

Highly under rated due to sheeple group think and the begining of our rage cilture. Things that would go on to turn modern gaming into the generic lanscape of cookie cuttet clone games we have today.. 1 and 2 had better horror , but 3 was just as good in every other way.

Some boss is invulnerable to my frigging rocket launcher for no reason so I have to pew pew him to death. Puzzles where the game does not tell you the rules and then kill you for not following them. Boring and frustrating game so I just stopped playing.

После полного прохождения Dead Space 3 , могу с уверенностью сказать. Нет, это не отвратительная игра и позорное окончание серии, и да, это всё еще такая же посредственная игра в моём понимании , как и все предыдущие игры серии, но обо всём по порядку. По поводу самой игры - это было хорошее приключение. не идеальное, но похоже на космическую сагу. Теперь игра стала больше похожа по духу на Gears of War. Возможность играть коо-пом, разные локации, множество экшн вставок и переходов, прям трилогией Гирь запахло в воздухе. Но сам сюжет - полный бред, начиная с перепетий главных героев, их бредовых сюжетных линий, филлерных персонажей которые погибают в определённой точке повествования, дурацких диалогов, идиотских решений, и прочее , прочее и прочее. Про этот никому не нужный любовный треугольник, безмозглость предательства и необоснованной мотивации главного антагониста - вообще молчу. В геймплейном плане почти все изменения -ненужные. Появились обычные люди стрелки и механика под борьбу с ними - укрытия, и приседания. Это почти не работает - механики под это не предназначены попросту, но и враги не сложные и умом не блещут. Патроны стали одни для ВСЕХ типов оружия, но это для кооперативного режима, так что неплохое решение. Но что меня , и многих других реально выбесило - это модификации оружия. Это совершенно ненужное изменение. Оружие потеряло свою индивидуальность, да и рецепты к классическому и новому оружию можно и так собрать или получить через ДЛС,.. Ах да, платные дополнение в сингловой игре, конечно. Мало того, что для боёв онлаин и сюжетного ДЛС нужно доплачивать валютой, так еще и чертежи и прочие плюшки можно купить отдельно. Это настолько подло и низко, что очень многие игроки это не схавали. Да и само оружие делать стало муторно. Магазины пропали, но на верстаках можно крафтить предметы с собираемых ресурсов...Эти механики с крафтом и ресурсами настолько НЕ для серии, что это и испортило всё впечатление. А жаль. В игре есть хорошие моменты, к примеру попытались в креатив в битве с боссами и битвами с ними - новые челенджи, использование новых трюков с кинезисом, много головоломок добавили. Простых, но больше чем одна простенькая во второй части. Много моментов рассчитано под кооператив, чувствуется что в это будет интересно играть вдвоём. Много локаций, хорошая хоррор атмосфера, что на кораблях, что на ледяной планете. Экшн сцены стали лучше, но в целом, всё портит слабый сценарий , ужасная персонажка и слабая техническая сторона и ужасная детализация персонажей и окружения. Но как по мне -играть в этот хорорчик приятно, неплохое было приключение. И с друганом можно пройти - чем не кайф?)

Best coop ever. Wonderful action and weapons. Scary story. The perfect conclusion of a beautyful saga.

It’s especially unfortunate to see a survival horror game court the in game transactions like DS3 did but it’s still a great experience. It is easily the weakest of the three games but still well worth the time and the $5 it’ll cost. It’s also better than most of the recent Resident Evil attempts at the genre. The ship graveyard setting is especially imaginative and interesting.

Very nice game, great game play, great design, weapons etc. Overall this game is an 8 or a 9. But what really ruins this game is all the unnecessary drama, stupid love story and the whole feud between exes. The game could have done without the drama.

Hearing a sequel for Dead Space 2 was very interesting for me because I thought it didn't need one. Much like the Alien and Aliens films, Dead Space 3 (Ali3ns) absolutely disappoints me that at best its mediocre and at worst is a terrible game that completely carves its ideas and world into pieces. Where to even begin on this conflicting game? The graphics and HUD are still good. There is no denying the atmosphere in Dead Space 3 is it's strongest unit in the field. It might not have the power of the Ishimura or the Sprawl, but it does have creepy and interesting areas to see. I also like the weapons, though some might cry foul on the game for being crappy on the way it handles the way you make them, but crafted weapons are not a bad thing. The first problem though of Dead Space 3 is the way those crafts work. You gather resources in the areas because unlike the previous games, it was an old colony that has long since been dead and lack the systems that modern ones do. On paper, crafting is brilliant and even goes as far making it a mode in DS3 where you only use materials to craft everything and anything instead of finding ammo and medkits. In practice, it is brought down by microtransactions. You can use scav bots to accrue resources by waiting around for your bot to return to your **** you can buy them with real money if you have no patience at all. This is so stupid and **** of the idea that it makes the concept disintegrate. Add to that mods that can overpower your weapons (complete with random chance loot boxes) and frames you can get by buying them in a gamble with real money, and you essentially pay to beat DS3 without even trying. But it gets worse. YOU CAN REPLAY CHAPTERS. In the previous games, you could not replay chapters, so being cautious and conserving ammo was paramount to survive. The fact you can go back to a chapter and farm it for ammo, health and resources is so lazy and infuriating that I almost gave up playing after the first few chapters on how unchallenged I was with the game. Who needs loot boxes and spend money when you can farm the same chapter over and over, memorize the enemies and scenarios and make no tension at all, ruining the formula of what 1 and 2 did in spades. Co-op worsens this even more. The problem with co-op in survival games is that it breaks any tension the moment a player does something stupid and isnt as immersed as you. Carver as the second player just downplays everything the game brings with awkward camera pans of him when cutscenes happen. Difficulty **** when two strongly grindy players can just mow through everyone and even if they both go in blind will just use medpacks stored out the wazoo in their stations. If this doesnt sound still bad, it gets even worse. The story is convoluted and mixed so much with lore and mythos that it bloats and collapses, much the same way the crew of idiots Isaac is with do when they crash land their ship into a icy planet and having no idea what the hell they are doing. Initially, the game starts off interesting and even has a great moment when a Unitologist heretic stays on top of a car and blows himself up, but the plot is so bogged down by answers that werent meant to be solved and just makes me scratch my head and go "what was the whole point of that?" The gameplay is solid, but level design is so dam lazy and crappy. It reuses far too many optional areas (in which they play out like mini dungeons) and recycles them too much for my taste. Carver's side missions unique to the co-op system is not that great and basically rehashes Isaac's exact plot with Nicole only without a son. The zero-g is like 2, but it loses its power after the crash on Tau Volantis. Initially it starts off great as Isaac (and Carver) can explore the entire area of the space above the planet. After that, there is limited amount of zero g on the ground. Considering the game series' own title has space in it, you would expect the devs to include more of this instead of planet exploration. The death scenes are abruptly cut before any real horror comes, defeating much of what made 1 and 2 good. The ending was ambigous and for me dead neutral on overall quality, but Awakened rears its head and (if truly being canon to the game) is one of the worst DLCs I have ever played. The ending in that is so insulting and so revolting in garbage that it pains my heart to know if DS3 will ever get a sequel, because it was terrible and truly pointless for EVERYTHING the series was going for throughout. Dead Space 3 is a mediocre and average game that painfully sacrifices crucial components to the previous two's success in some odd attempt to gain more people. Whether a new game is made is hard to say, but as a fan of the series it pains me say DS3 was absolute disappointment on every facet of its entirety.

Ein solider Abschluss der Dead Space Reihe. Was mich persönlich am meißten an der Serie fasziniert hat, war das Spieleuniversum an sich. Es war wahrlich ausgeklügelt und interessant. Klar fehlte in diesem Teil der Horror Aspekt fast vollkommen... es war dennoch ein netter Zeitvertreib

Dreadfull from the start. Worst in the series. Terrible controls. Impossible missions even played on easiest mode. It's like you never have touched a video game before. These developers should recall this unplayable pile of crap.

Im a big fan of the dead space **** this **** third game in the series...I just didn't love it as much as I wanted. It's not a bad, or terrible game, but comparied to the masterpiece that was Dead-space 2, it just falls flat on SO many levels. honestly, pick it up on sale, it's not worth paying at full price.

Nothing could have prepared me for the mental pain and frustration I experienced with this game. Horrible gun mechanics. Horrible upgrade system for both suit and weapons. Horrible environmental layouts. You spend half the game riding elevators. Just horrible.

Forget the bad critics !! If you have played the two others you'll probably like this one. Okay it's a BIT less scary. But the atmosphere it's a its best, the crafting system is really great and really make the exploration more interesting. Don't want to spoil anything but the news environments bring something really fresh in the Dead space universe. And seriously...more you go into the game and the story..more creepy will be places you'll visit. The last chapter is..unforgettable !

While it may trim the fat to gather a more mainstream audience, it still satisfies with gorgeous graphics, more space to roam and excellent boss battles. The ice planet is a great throwback to the horror classic "The Thing"
