I have never played any of the other Dead Space games...but..... I LOVED THE DEMO!!! I played through the co-op 1 time with my friend and we will both be buying this game for sure. :) The gameplay and graphics felt like a nice mix between Mass Effect 3 and Lost Planet 1. 👍
 
Nope only played the single player demos. I started watching some of the DS1 and DS2 campaign cinemas to get caught up on DS3. I also paid off the pre-order for this on Saturday. Cant wait!
 
Since I never played the other DS games I decided to get caught up on the storyline from the first 2 games.

Just finished watching all of the DS1 and DS2 cut scenes. Poor Isaac with his Nicole struggle and poor Ellie and her eye. They sure are tough and work well together. Cant wait to work with Ellie in DS3.



 
The Dead Space games remind me of ME3 in terms graphical style. I know the Dead Space series are good games but what kept me away from them is I don't like the Horror genre, just not my cup of tea, for that reason I will have to pass.
 
Yes the graphics do look and feel a lot like ME3. I know exactly how you feel about horror games. I am also never into horror games. I think the last horror game I played was maybe Fear 3 and I only rented it.

Since this is a FULL co-op campaign I figured I would give the co-op demo a chance and I loved it. My brother and one of my friends are both buying this game. I will ONLY play the co-op. Not interrested in the single player. But yeah, this isnt one I would recommend for you to buy. I know your playtime is very very limited and you are not into the horror genre. So this isnt something I would have suggested for you.
 
For those that dont know, there are 2 annimated Dead SPace movies. Downfall and Aftermath. I finally watched them last night. Downfall was excellent. Such a great movie. Aftermath wasnt very good at all IMO. I would highly suggest at least watching Downfall.
 
I promised my brother I would wait until Thursday to play this with him. It was soooooooo hard to resist playing last night. I installed the game, entered all the pre-order codes and just went to the start menu. Thats it. I even had a friend asking me to play with him but I said no. The great news is my brother can play tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow!! :) BTW I LOVE the menu system! For some reason the menu system reminded me of all the mechanical windows in the movie "The 13th ghost".

edit: FEEDBACK AFTER PLAYING THE GAME

I never played any of the other DS games but decided to try the DS3 co-op demo. Truly enjoyed the demo and pre-ordered the game.

It has only been a few days but I have already put in over 35 hours between 4 game saves with 3 different co-op partners. One of my saves we went through the entire game as a co-op and it took us about 22 hours. Amazing game and the co-op length on normal was excellent. I started a new game + last night with my friend and we are on the 6th level on "Pure Survival mode". Much more intense and much more strategic. The enemies do not have any ammo drops, no circuit drops, and no health drops. Plus it defaults to the hard difficulty.


My only major complaint is the amount of back tracking in some of the levels. The level where you are collecting the section pieces of the "insect" had a rediculous amount of backtracking. We backtracked at least 5 times in that level. Other than the backtracking, and a few save issues, its very good. So far this is my GOTY 2013 but I do realize its only February. Still, an excellent game! 👍
