As a dead space fan. I do believe *The* *Callisto* *Protocol* is a spiritual successor to *Dead* *Space* To me Dead Space is more of a Graphic Novel while Callisto is akin to a short Sci-fi comic book. That's keep me coming back for a read through - Riot Mode.
This game was awesome, I don’t have any expectations before playing it I just knew who the devs were so that got me into the game even more and I knew it was gonna be a good horror game which it is maybe it’s not for everyone but it was a great game for me
The Callisto Protocol is my favourite game. For me it's the Dead Space 4 i waited for more than a decade. I have to say it, the music in The Callisto Protocol is superior to Dead Space and sell very well the ambiance of it's universe. Some sections of the game by themselves are also worth opening the game just for them; the Pipeslide (Chapter 4: Habitat found after purging the tank in the hydroponics water processing) is by itself the best moment in the game and has the Glen Schofield touch in the same fashion as the Tentacle Grab from Dead Space. The Pipeslide near-death sequence is adrenaline & stress inducing (i'm talking if you play on Contagion Mode and try to beat the game without dying once), it has good music, is fast, great graphics, highly replayable, the best sequence to give the controller to someone who doesnt know how to play games and have fun. And be impressed by a new game this immersive in it's sad & beautiful atmosphere. If you like the music of The Callisto Protocol & some montages, i am archiving the soundtracks (and unreleased ones) on my channel. Thanks for reading I belong here.
I couldn't wait until this released. I was ready to blast space freaks into tiny chunks, then learned it was melee focused. My excitement deflated quick and I decided to pass on it. I recently got it a few months ago and still keep making excuses not to play it. The thought of Mike Tysons Punch Out dodging my way through the game is very off putting, they should've made shooting the primary focus with melee as a backup option, I think it would've sold better
I think releasing the game around the same time as the Dead Space remake played a huge role in its failure. Idk what they were thinking. It’s a shame the remake didn’t revitalize the franchise like I hope it would’ve. It’s such great take on the horror/science fiction genre. Could be adapted into a great horror film if done right.
I just finished it. while I didn't hate it, i wont lie the inventory management system pissed me off. The inventory should have been larger or at least there should have been a way to store your exess items. The contraband collectables which you sell off, should not have occpied the same inventory space as your resources; It was so annoying when i had so many of them with no space for ammo and healing items. Also the checkpoints within boss battles was horrible! Its so annoying when you respawn during a boss fight without any time to heal, reload or change weapon.
The ammo resource part did make it less fun and it's like volunteering for more headache, and I did unlock more guns in hopes of using them against bosses lol I like how they handled the difference in combat though, all these guns and modules showed part of what they did during the first wave of infection probably And they made another basic (albeit riskier) tool become part of a core gameplay mechanic (the baton) just like the mining tool/gun from Dead Space It is bizarre that their only way of ganging up on you is one doing the melee while some other guy is spitting on you but I get why it was coded that way Haven't played DS Remake yet but the thing I really wanna praise Callisto for is the MC's personality from the get-go, and how good the immersion sounded and looked, like every step I walked, ran, upstairs or downstairs was really in his shoes.. this last part alone is what made me start NG+ anyway, not just to use more weapons but to feel the steps again Final Transmission is definitely their way of closure, though I really wish someone in the future could make TCP2 happen, whoever the MC may be
@@LunarEdge7 I agree with this. I do wish enemies made it more challenging because with all the trailers talking about how amazingly graphic the was. I hardly died and kinda forgot about it. I’m hoping for a sequel with Dani, but I wouldn’t be opposed to a new character.
I blame EA, after all this time they deside to remake dead space at the same time that's sus to me and we were gonna get more games for calisto but cos of dead space they had to rush the game and so cos of the negativity and sale they didn't. Its such a shame cos I love the game and the audio story they released was brilliant I love how they were building a new universe and I really really hope we get a second one also I hope jacob comes back some how he's our new Isaac Clarke aha brilliant cast in the game I loved Captain Leon Ferris they made a right choice for him and hope he comes back somehow too
@LordChromeGaming I know I was shocked by that yea I was pritty disappointed that Glen Schofield won't be doing a second callisto but was thinking well with dead spaces remake and it's success we will get more remakes or a 4th. EA just wants to ruin things like they did with c&c, hopefully with us all loving games like this and still talking about them they will listen and give us what we want
It's a good game. Combat is good and time to time frustrating with the boss encounter. But killing of mc wasn't a bad decision. But how the the main game cliffhanger. And the disappointed DLC and whole thing was a dream sequence was a led-down for me.. but greedy dlc like battle-pass on a singleplayer, D-Animation DLC, was worst things ever. If they only make story dlc paid it wouldn't got that much hate.. But i played it years later. So didn't have any issue. But day one player issue refund bc of buggy lunch.😢. It's also hampers many gamer to quit.
Calisto was a great game. But not very fun. The weapons and fighting system suck. Compared to the dead space remake its inferior there. Graphically though, calisto was way better
I replayed it recently on NG+ with an infinite ammo cheat, and played it like Dead Space using mostly the guns and almost no melee. It was significantly more fun that way. Really could have been a great game if it was tuned more for ranged combat and not the melee dance.
The game just doesnt feel satisfying. It encourages melee combat but you have only one melee weapon which you cant customise, your attacks are very short ranged, there is no variety to melee swings, the hits dont feel satisfying, the dodge mechanic is lame and repetitive. Jacob's movements are clunky. Too much vent crawling. The guns arent fun to use. You cant customise Jacob's look. Inventory is super limited. Audio files dont play unless you literally sit still in the menu. You cant manual save properly. The GRIP cant throw enemies very far. The story and characters arent engaging. Good graphics wont compensate all that. There's simply nothing much to enjoy.

One of my biggest issues with this game was the numerous crawling sections. There was no end to them
@@FM_Beef I can agree with that. It was a bit too much, the sliding, the crawling. For cheap jump scares.

You have what you want with dismenber mode and riot mode. Don't waste any more of your time and go play The Callisto Protocol.
@
What is dismemberment and riot mode? Infinite ammo or something?
I think releasing the game around the same time as the Dead Space remake played a huge role in its failure. Idk what they were thinking.

I agree, releasing it one month before the remake was just not a good idea. I was also hoping for more from both franchises after their games dropped
I just finished it. while I didn't hate it, i wont lie the inventory management system pissed me off.

So much potential. It built some great lore and the expansions could have been something great. So Sad.
Such a great game. Never had any issues and was free on game pass.
The ammo resource part did make it less fun and it's like volunteering for more headache, and I did unlock more guns in hopes of using them against bosses lol
I like how they handled the difference in combat though, all these guns and modules showed part of what they did during the first wave of infection probably
And they made another basic (albeit riskier) tool become part of a core gameplay mechanic (the baton) just like the mining tool/gun from Dead Space
It is bizarre that their only way of ganging up on you is one doing the melee while some other guy is spitting on you but I get why it was coded that way
Haven't played DS Remake yet but the thing I really wanna praise Callisto for is the MC's personality from the get-go, and how good the immersion sounded and looked, like every step I walked, ran, upstairs or downstairs was really in his shoes.. this last part alone is what made me start NG+ anyway, not just to use more weapons but to feel the steps again

@@reecechapman7286 and then EA said “yeah no more Dead Space remakes or new games”

@@reecechapman7286 we can only hope. Maybe someone else will fill the gap.
Season pass? Isnt there only one dlc, could have just bought that by itself
Riot mode was it's own DLC. 🤐
@LordChromeGaming its jover for callisto protocol

THIS was the "game" that convinced me that ALL "gaming" has become a scam! This was one giant DEMO but overall, just overhyped bullsh*t!😅
You're exaggerating beyond madness.
meh, yeah the game was a flop, but it definitely deserves a sequel, just for the chance to redeem itself in the public's eyes
