People forget about character development. In the first Dead Space game, Isaac Clarke gets literally thrown into a terrifying situation and perseveres by making use of makeshift weapons, but by the third game he actually KNOWS (as do the players) how to kill these things and is given better weapons (actual weapons) to fight them off. So of course it's not gonna have the same fear factor it had in the first game. Isaac goes from scared and confused to a badass. So the tone of the game is gonna reflect that change. Definitely underrated, but overall one of my favorite trilogies. Best comparison I can give is the character development for Ripley in Alien Vs. Ripley in Aliens.
Like resident evil 4 not scary and od action 5 and 6 too and 6 sold mostly in entire series but got most hate also 7 was most horror but sold least bad
Can't believe you didn't mention my favorite thing about that game and that's the new weapon crafting system where u could create hybrid weapons. That was so much fun to do and I wish they added it to the remake
Unfortunately that also meant that weapons had very little character and really did look like they were welded scrap metal.... It was an interesting idea though. Where DS1 and DS2 probably had too little weapon customization, DS3 I think had way too much...

I didn’t play it until last year when I saw it was bumped to 60 fps on XBox. Had heard the hate but honestly I had a great time in that game. It hits the tension and horror the previous games did, it’s just longer so yah there are a bunch of action segments and set piece moments as well. Game holds up with the other 2. This happens a lot with new releases though. People dogpile and it’s only years later we realize the game wasn’t as bad as the reputation it got at launch, mostly by people who never played the game in the first place.
The actual game itself isn’t bad, it’s the juvenile writing that really hurts the game as a whole, mainly in the goofy love triangle with Norton Ellie and issac, and how cartoonishly evil the main bad guy is doesn’t help either. The game also has awful combat pacing, you’re just constantly having to deal with way more enemies than you can realistically handle by yourself but I imagine that’s because it’s meant to be played in co-op. The overarching story is pretty cool, but a lot of the character moments fall really short and some of it doesn’t feel earned, it definitely has its moments but there’s a lot of aspects that fall short which is much more noticeable considering the previous 2 were basically air-tight in their writing.

To this day everyone who played the game in single player don't know what they missed in co-op. My friend & I enjoyed co-op. The main story was not as good as 1 & 2 but I did enjoy it.
@@samueldavis5895 i’m not asking this to start a fight. I’m just curious why do you think that? also I will fully admit that DS3 has its flaws but it is my favorite in the trilogy. 👍🏼. Even without the DLC awakening it feels like the third one is a proper end to the story. I mean the moons never find earth 🌎, so everything’s fine.
The game isn’t anywhere near bad. I get people were upset by the micro transactions and keeping the game’s ending locked behind a DLC paywall, but I replayed them all in sequence recently and I found it to still be quite enjoyable (weakest of the trilogy, but still fun). Hopefully DS remake sells well and revives the IP.
I played all the way through without buying any resources. Half way through I was pretty comfortable and never felt the need. I did buy the DLC because I really enjoyed the game.
I personally believe that DS3 got way more hate than it deserved. Yes, its the weakest in the series. Yes, it has numerous flaws. But it also has many good things that the haters always conveniently ignore. DS3 has one of the best sections in the entire series when it allows the player to explore a graveyard of derelict spaceships in any order. I also like being able to customize weapons. I totally get some of the complaints, but what annoys me so much is how people focus only on the negatives while completely ignoring the positives.
Dude I fully agree! Every time I see a review of DS3, they keep on ignoring every single positive of the game. They focused way too much on saying “there’s more shooting and the love triangle is annoying”. Yeah the love triangle was annoying but it doesn’t overwhelm the entire story. Exploring the military ruins in space, the snow planet, and the ancient underground city was awesome. I am REALLY mad at EA for shutting down Visceral but at the same time I also blame the overcritical attitude of the fan base.
Deadspace 3 is an amazing game. The only thing I hate is the fact that I have 58/59 achievements unlocked on origin and they still haven't fucking fixed " A brave New World".
Dead Space 3 limited your weapons to only 2 slots, which is a definite downgrade from the 2 previous that let you carry 4 weapons and allowed for experimentation. It introduced crafting and upgrade mechanics (trying to make up for the 2 weapon slot limitation but it's mainly not too interesting or isn't well fleshed out, it gets the job done if you invest in it though). It introduced ressources and scavenging mechanics (scavenger bots became an addiction for me). It introduced snow environments and regular soldier fights (again, trying to broaden the scope and invite commercial play for the market back in 2013). Grpahics are REALLY GOOD, but there are low quality textures if you look too close. The story continued quite interestingly and by the end I felt accomplished and respectful for the trilogy. The gameplay is faster but isn't "punchier" like DS1 and 2 (it feels like it needs more impact and punch to it, you never feel like a walking obliterator). It's much longer than 1 and 2, but there are some grinding and patted out sections. Enemies are less intimidating and more annoying than scary (they tend to backstab more times than you think and you'll start to get annoyed over and over). It's not as linear as DS2, it's actually more open like DS1 (on a bigger scale) but more focused and with purpose in some setpieces and no gameplay annoyances (generally speaking). Optional objectives and introduced as well. New puzzle solving mechanics are introduced and are generally okay and not too intrusive (except for the electricity balance manager, I hated it). New enemy types are introduced and they're generally....okay-ish. I liked it, really I did and I like this trilogy as a whole experience. Each game has defining traits that are different from the other while all 3 stick to the same essence which is the fight against the necromorphs, and I admire that. Definitely worth a play!
I've been an avid fan of Dead Space since about within the first hour of playing the first game!!.... I am also a fantasy/sci-fi nerd,... I still have a run through all 3 games at least once or twice a year!!!! (10/10) says MY FU@KIN REVIEW!!!
Callisto protocol wasn’t perfect(sometimes the dodging gets a bit irritating and I didn’t like Dani) but the story was pretty great. I really think fans are being over critical of that game as well(same thing they did with DS3. Pretty much repeating history). Fans were way too bent on trying to compare it to dead space. The thing is it’s not dead space. Similar but it’s obviously something different. Fans did the same thing with outer worlds. They were way too obsessed trying to compare it to New Vegas.
@@goti4no820 whoa dude calm down. Protocol does deserve constructive criticism but I still think we’re being over critical on it. I haven’t played it myself(don’t have the money) but I did see somebody else do a live stream on it. I really don’t think it’s bad at all. I think Jacob is a cool character. The only three things I didn’t like was how sometimes the dodging system gets a bit weird, Dani(hate her attitude), and how the inventory system is a little bit too small. Also even though it was made by somebody who worked on the original dead space, it’s completely obvious that it’s not gonna be the exact same thing. Plus keep in mind this is the first entry into a new franchise, so I think we should give it a chance. Fans should not make the same mistake that they did with DS3.
@@goti4no820 and here’s what I mean when I say that the dodging system gets weird. Certain times you’re locked into a one on one fight with a monster right? sometimes The enemy doesn’t stop swinging and you’re stuck in a annoying loop. You can’t break away and pick up items around you. Plus you can’t hit two or three enemies at once. The dodging mechanic is only meant for one enemy. So hopefully they improve it in the next game .
Great game, really pushed the limits of those consoles. First one was a short contained sci fi survival horror, the second was an expansive sci fi action horror and the third was an epic co-op sci fi action thriller. They all go together really well back to back.
I went in without playing the first 2 and i had a blast playing it. I didn't really care about the story or characters its pretty lack luster. i just wanted good Sci-fi horror action and i got all of it, it might not be a great third installment it could be the worst but to say that its not even a little bit of fun as its own thing, would be very bias. The game offers really good experience and Its impressive how much the look of it still holds up.
I played the whole game with a friend and I cant say I didn’t have fun. Good times but in single player I can see it not being what people are looking for
I just played it on hard difficulty, and I wouldn't say it's under rated, the main problem is way way too many enemies, it becomes quite a chore to do so much fighting every single room, there is no suspense, that with the cluttered loot and gun upgrade system and the bad ending , it's still very fun, but it's clear why it's a downgrade from 1 and 2
The thing is I get the feeling that EA saw Resident evil 5 massive success and saw the Co-op and went to visceral and said “DO THAT” it is a VERY fun game to play with a buddy but when solo it’s between Ok and good
This game is more of an action shooter than survival horror. Using upgraded weapons helps a lot in handling the multitude of enemies as well as the usual stasis/limb cutting technics. It also helps to use the environment or room layouts in some chapters. You figure it out as you go.
Graphics were a bit choppy but I liked the game a lot. The zero G scenes were incredible. The biggest problem was that the ending was DLC, and that DLC was awesome.
IMHO I do feel that Isaac's personal journey had wrapped up by the end of the second game, so by the time we got to the third one, it was like "Well, what's left to do with the character? Why, put him in a daytime soap love storyline, of course!" I mean, at this stage, he's been through everything else. Also, I kind of like the idea of discovering the secret origin of the Markers, and it kind of brings the Marker storyline from the previous games to a full circle. So, is Dead Space 3 a downgrade from its predecessors? Yes, sadly it is, but that in no way makes it a terrible game; it's not the best entry in the franchise, but it's still very playable.
I loved DS3 just as much as the other 2. As someone else here in the comments mentioned already, I love all 3 of them for different reasons. The best thing about 3 was the change of environment, I loved the desolate snowy planet and the parts where you were floating around above the space station. The beginning was such a departure, having combat with human enemies and I absolutely loved discovering about the alien race. The hybrid weapon crafting was really cool also although I have to say the guns feel much less powerful in 3, less impactful and satisfying to use. Other than that, stands up easily with the other 2, I think a lot of people just hate any kind of change and won't give things a chance.
Definitely underrated. I recently been playing 3 on Xbox Series S and with 60 fps boost and hdr both 2 & 3 hold up today. Brilliant Trilogy cant wait for the remake
This game was actually amazing! The downside was that I felt this game was meant to be played on coop and not solo. If it didn't have the word 'Dead Space' in it, people would probably love it too.
Dead Space 3 is an underrated Gem 😊. Reason being is EA games polluted it with money making schemes like the rest of its acquired IPs. Spoiler Warning!!!!****** You see Isaac as a veteran on a frozen world with PTSD from the previous 2 games and a lost love (one that got away), fighting not only for himself but for the universe.
I think it's a bit of a meme to say 3 is bad every time you mention it, as if, if you don't say it, people will jump on you. Loved 3 when it came out, the snowfield sections are fantastic and really cinematic. Especially the cutscenes with the group, it works really well.
I love the trilogy for having a nice spectrum starting with horror in the beginning and ending with action. It's a shame that all I see is hate and nothing good about 3 that potentially keeps action horror fans away. Also sad that the series didn't wrap up all neat and tidy with 3 because of that damn cliffhanger ending.
As with any trilogy you must try and view the entire body of work as one big story - one with a beginning (Dead Space) a middle (Dead Space 2) and an end (Dead Space 3). If you look at it like that then, i believe, it stands up. Perhaps, the third game isn't the best of the three, but it serves its purpose.
Will pick this last version up as finished the first one, and currently playing the second one. To be honest i think the first one is the best mainly because of the Ishimura ship as the sense of fear is incredible.
most reviews gave it high 7s and 8s. And it's on a 7.8 on metacritic which is pretty good, HOWEVER...in recent years the consensus or perception has definitely changed. I keep seeing games journalists trash it, just today while watching a podcast containing a Calisto Protocol review one of the journalists rolled his eyes and made a snide remark about how bad DS3 is, I watched a list of "most disappointing sequels" and I think DS3 was number one! I keep seeing this strange retconning. Realistically it was a good sequel with a good Co op mode. More of the same, a little to focused on action perhaps. But still very good. Underrated at launch? No. Underrated now? Probably.
For all its problems, I did like the story in Dead Space 3, it wraps up the mysteries behind the necromorphs and the Markers in a neat way. If you don't count the DLC, which was a big cliffhanger, it was also a great send-off to Isaac after everything he's been through. Isaac goes from a nobody to a traumatized survivor to finally a hero.
I loved dead space 3 but the only spot where I felt a little scared was during the first time you fight those big spiked ones that you can’t kill only slow them while waiting for the train to come !!!
Yes, this game was alot better on reinstall (basically forgetting the previous games and focusing on what its doing serpately). However, for the life of me, I can't get it to run on Windows 11 D:
@@paulesthete4648 i tried a ton of ways, but cant make it work! I assume its the OS, it ran fine on 10. Possibly a platform issue, mass effect legendary wont run, either!
Yeah but you didn't have to use the micro transactions I got powerful weapons without the microtransactions I still got blueprints that I could drop for people I already got the devil finger so I don't need the blueprints
while it kinda ruined the franchise, I still think its a really good game. It might be more action packed, but I think it makes more sense for Isaac since hes know gone through three necromorph disasters, he's gonna be cool. A few more scares would make it better, but still I'm glad I bought it
I just played all three, and i really don't get the hate 3 gets. 1 and 2 definitely made me More anxious but 3 had way better weapon customization, also i don't think the more action and adventure in this game made it any less fun to play. I am confused tho how Ellie got her eye back
The best word to describe Dead Space 3, for me, is "frustrating", because there is a phenomenal game buried in it's DNA. There are moments when it nearly creeps to the surface, but whether it's the poor writing of the characters, the unsatisfying changes to combat, the OP guns, etc. it always fails to do so. I actually enjoy the game - now that years have passed and my bitterness has waned - but I can't help but be frustrated when thinking on what could have been, and the fact that this was Visceral's last entry in the franchise, which had been stellar up to this point (at least with mainline entries).
I do think Dead Space 3 is amazing and the only real fault I can find with the game are with the enemies and the content itself. By enemies I feel like they can be very cheap for the majority of the game or up until you get a certain weapon combo that you can really annihilate them with. Late game content gets a lot better with better gear and more options to customize your guns but it says a lot when I dedicate a specific gun to bosses and squads of enemies rushing me. And in regards to the content I did not like how a lot of the content is locked off unless you are playing in co-op mode. I don't think adding an AI partner would fix anything like that but allowing the choice for solo player to play all the content would be very well welcomed in a remake or remaster. Maybe it would even help the coop feel more fun because you could possibly beat it once yourself and then beat it again with a friend and help them with tricks and tips that you found during your playthrough. I'll beat a long time ago with a friend online and I remember fondly that was the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game.
As someone who recently experienced the entire trilogy (I had played a bit of 1 previously, but 2 and 3 were completely blind) and I can say: Yes and no. It... changed a lot of stuff. Suddenly you can't carry 4 weapons anymore, you can get upgrade materials from dead enemies, and those resources, may I say are plentiful however there is also no reason to upgrade and experiment because a maxed out damage plasma cutter will deal the same amount of damage as any other weapon that has max damage stats. It took away the resource management from a survival horror game. And when you take that away from Dead Space, it becomes a lot less horror and a lot more third person shooter with horror elements. The story was good, but how they changed the game was not. I mean, I still had fun with it, but I think it took too much away from what made the previous entries great and terrifying to play.
Many people complained that Dead Space 3 had too much action, but both the first and second games had tons of action. Necromorphs spawned all over the place, and honestly, ammo conservation wasn't that big of a deal since the enemies constantly dropped ammo upon death. You could argue that with 3, they focused too much on action and less on horror. Which they did. But action has always been a part of the franchise. The first two games just balanced the action and horror out a whole lot better.
The first one definitely didn't and when they did shove alot of necros at you it was in a wide open room/area ds3 enjoys doing that in small areas the examples being the optional missions

@@Grognak148 nahh evil within part one
Also, 3 is just unfair if you're playing alone in higher difficulties
I'm shocked. I thought each game was better than the last. Didn't know there were people who didn't like it. I loved 3 more than 2 and 2 more than 1.
Agreed 100%
1and 3 are my favorites. 2 is the one I felt the weakest.
I like them all but I have been playing 3 since 2013 and still play it now.
@@samueldavis5895 i’m not asking this to start a fight. I’m just curious why do you think that? also I will fully admit that DS3 has its flaws but it is my favorite in the trilogy. 👍🏼. Even without the DLC awakening it feels like the third one is a proper end to the story. I mean the moons never find earth 🌎, so everything’s fine.
The game isn’t anywhere near bad. I get people were upset by the micro transactions and keeping the game’s ending locked behind a DLC paywall, but I replayed them all in sequence recently and I found it to still be quite enjoyable (weakest of the trilogy, but still fun). Hopefully DS remake sells well and revives the IP.
exactly
I played all the way through without buying any resources. Half way through I was pretty comfortable and never felt the need. I did buy the DLC because I really enjoyed the game.
Dead Space 3 changed the way of horror from the first two titles into terror: More enemies, enemies attack from behind...
I personally believe that DS3 got way more hate than it deserved. Yes, its the weakest in the series. Yes, it has numerous flaws. But it also has many good things that the haters always conveniently ignore. DS3 has one of the best sections in the entire series when it allows the player to explore a graveyard of derelict spaceships in any order. I also like being able to customize weapons. I totally get some of the complaints, but what annoys me so much is how people focus only on the negatives while completely ignoring the positives.
Dude I fully agree! Every time I see a review of DS3, they keep on ignoring every single positive of the game. They focused way too much on saying “there’s more shooting and the love triangle is annoying”. Yeah the love triangle was annoying but it doesn’t overwhelm the entire story. Exploring the military ruins in space, the snow planet, and the ancient underground city was awesome. I am REALLY mad at EA for shutting down Visceral but at the same time I also blame the overcritical attitude of the fan base.
Deadspace 3 is an amazing game. The only thing I hate is the fact that I have 58/59 achievements unlocked on origin and they still haven't fucking fixed " A brave New World".
Dear EA, we deserve a Dead Space: Legendary Edition
We need a dead space: the isaac clarke collection
@@thesamejackalsniperthatkil117 Even better haha
Dead Space 3 limited your weapons to only 2 slots, which is a definite downgrade from the 2 previous that let you carry 4 weapons and allowed for experimentation.
It introduced crafting and upgrade mechanics (trying to make up for the 2 weapon slot limitation but it's mainly not too interesting or isn't well fleshed out, it gets the job done if you invest in it though).
It introduced ressources and scavenging mechanics (scavenger bots became an addiction for me).
It introduced snow environments and regular soldier fights (again, trying to broaden the scope and invite commercial play for the market back in 2013).
Grpahics are REALLY GOOD, but there are low quality textures if you look too close.
The story continued quite interestingly and by the end I felt accomplished and respectful for the trilogy.
The gameplay is faster but isn't "punchier" like DS1 and 2 (it feels like it needs more impact and punch to it, you never feel like a walking obliterator).
It's much longer than 1 and 2, but there are some grinding and patted out sections.
Enemies are less intimidating and more annoying than scary (they tend to backstab more times than you think and you'll start to get annoyed over and over).
It's not as linear as DS2, it's actually more open like DS1 (on a bigger scale) but more focused and with purpose in some setpieces and no gameplay annoyances (generally speaking).
Optional objectives and introduced as well.
New puzzle solving mechanics are introduced and are generally okay and not too intrusive (except for the electricity balance manager, I hated it).
New enemy types are introduced and they're generally....okay-ish.
I liked it, really I did and I like this trilogy as a whole experience.
Each game has defining traits that are different from the other while all 3 stick to the same essence which is the fight against the necromorphs, and I admire that. Definitely worth a play!
DS3 had some great story elements. I was excited to hear that the DS remake is rewriting some things to include those late series plot points better.
I've been an avid fan of Dead Space since about within the first hour of playing the first game!!.... I am also a fantasy/sci-fi nerd,... I still have a run through all 3 games at least once or twice a year!!!! (10/10) says MY FU@KIN REVIEW!!!
Check those two movies if you haven’t already.
@@stuartbagley2586 Right on....
The Callisto Protocol will also be an underrated gem in 10 years or so, as now it is receiving similar hate as DS 3 did on its premiere.
I’m really enjoying that game. I accept that it’s a different game. But it is still very good.
@GoTi4No 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Callisto protocol wasn’t perfect(sometimes the dodging gets a bit irritating and I didn’t like Dani) but the story was pretty great. I really think fans are being over critical of that game as well(same thing they did with DS3. Pretty much repeating history). Fans were way too bent on trying to compare it to dead space. The thing is it’s not dead space. Similar but it’s obviously something different. Fans did the same thing with outer worlds. They were way too obsessed trying to compare it to New Vegas.
@@goti4no820 whoa dude calm down. Protocol does deserve constructive criticism but I still think we’re being over critical on it. I haven’t played it myself(don’t have the money) but I did see somebody else do a live stream on it. I really don’t think it’s bad at all. I think Jacob is a cool character. The only three things I didn’t like was how sometimes the dodging system gets a bit weird, Dani(hate her attitude), and how the inventory system is a little bit too small. Also even though it was made by somebody who worked on the original dead space, it’s completely obvious that it’s not gonna be the exact same thing. Plus keep in mind this is the first entry into a new franchise, so I think we should give it a chance. Fans should not make the same mistake that they did with DS3.
@@goti4no820 and here’s what I mean when I say that the dodging system gets weird. Certain times you’re locked into a one on one fight with a monster right? sometimes The enemy doesn’t stop swinging and you’re stuck in a annoying loop. You can’t break away and pick up items around you. Plus you can’t hit two or three enemies at once. The dodging mechanic is only meant for one enemy. So hopefully they improve it in the next game .
Dead Space 3 is like ALIENS to Alien. And it rocks
Aliens 3
Co op was definitely my favorite part of the game
Loved this one personally, made a sick shotgun/sniper rifle build, never played co-op though :P
They were a Gem of its Kind ive Played Dead Space 3 with 4 Diffrents Friends over and over again its so much fun i dont get why it died out.
I played DS3 in co-op with my friend. It was terrifying yelling for help while playing as Carver and my buddy had no idea what I was talking about.
Oh the immersion.
Great game, really pushed the limits of those consoles. First one was a short contained sci fi survival horror, the second was an expansive sci fi action horror and the third was an epic co-op sci fi action thriller. They all go together really well back to back.
One of the monthly perks last month for Dead space was all all the DLC for free. It might still be there. For Xbox.
I still loved Dead Space 3. It was disappointing to discover what the dev originally planned for the co-op, but the game was still really good.
dead space hella underrated co op was fun and making custom weapons where so dope and op
I went in without playing the first 2 and i had a blast playing it. I didn't really care about the story or characters its pretty lack luster. i just wanted good Sci-fi horror action and i got all of it, it might not be a great third installment it could be the worst but to say that its not even a little bit of fun as its own thing, would be very bias. The game offers really good experience and Its impressive how much the look of it still holds up.
Me and my buddy had so much fun playing 3 - it was a great game.
I played the whole game with a friend and I cant say I didn’t have fun. Good times but in single player I can see it not being what people are looking for
I played this game in single player several times. I very much enjoyed every it. Maybe some people are too picky?
I just played it on hard difficulty, and I wouldn't say it's under rated, the main problem is way way too many enemies, it becomes quite a chore to do so much fighting every single room, there is no suspense, that with the cluttered loot and gun upgrade system and the bad ending , it's still very fun, but it's clear why it's a downgrade from 1 and 2
The thing is I get the feeling that EA saw Resident evil 5 massive success and saw the Co-op and went to visceral and said “DO THAT” it is a VERY fun game to play with a buddy but when solo it’s between Ok and good
This game is more of an action shooter than survival horror. Using upgraded weapons helps a lot in handling the multitude of enemies as well as the usual stasis/limb cutting technics. It also helps to use the environment or room layouts in some chapters. You figure it out as you go.
Graphics were a bit choppy but I liked the game a lot. The zero G scenes were incredible. The biggest problem was that the ending was DLC, and that DLC was awesome.
Dead Space 3 is amazing.
Dead Space 3 is my favorite horror game. Given what critics said I thought it was great
It's 2024 and I'm playing it for the first time. It's absolutely amazing. I don't understand the hate at all.
IMHO I do feel that Isaac's personal journey had wrapped up by the end of the second game, so by the time we got to the third one, it was like "Well, what's left to do with the character? Why, put him in a daytime soap love storyline, of course!" I mean, at this stage, he's been through everything else.
Also, I kind of like the idea of discovering the secret origin of the Markers, and it kind of brings the Marker storyline from the previous games to a full circle.
So, is Dead Space 3 a downgrade from its predecessors? Yes, sadly it is, but that in no way makes it a terrible game; it's not the best entry in the franchise, but it's still very playable.
I loved DS3 just as much as the other 2. As someone else here in the comments mentioned already, I love all 3 of them for different reasons. The best thing about 3 was the change of environment, I loved the desolate snowy planet and the parts where you were floating around above the space station. The beginning was such a departure, having combat with human enemies and I absolutely loved discovering about the alien race. The hybrid weapon crafting was really cool also although I have to say the guns feel much less powerful in 3, less impactful and satisfying to use. Other than that, stands up easily with the other 2, I think a lot of people just hate any kind of change and won't give things a chance.
If it was named anything other deadspace 3
It would be game of the year contender when it came out.
They should have done what halo 2 did where you switch characters or do a separate campaign with carver as a dlc or something
Oh dude that is an excellent idea. Co-op was fun but Yeah I wish they did that instead.
Definitely underrated. I recently been playing 3 on Xbox Series S and with 60 fps boost and hdr both 2 & 3 hold up today. Brilliant Trilogy cant wait for the remake
A game ahead of its time
No, no it's definitely not.
It's a great action game with horror overtones. Not a fan of the multiplayer, but it's fantasic in single player.
This game was actually amazing! The downside was that I felt this game was meant to be played on coop and not solo. If it didn't have the word 'Dead Space' in it, people would probably love it too.
Dead Space 3 is an underrated Gem 😊. Reason being is EA games polluted it with money making schemes like the rest of its acquired IPs. Spoiler Warning!!!!******
You see Isaac as a veteran on a frozen world with PTSD from the previous 2 games and a lost love (one that got away), fighting not only for himself but for the universe.
the best part is co-op survival, which is why i also love this game. But too many loading section airlocks even on ground.
I think it's a bit of a meme to say 3 is bad every time you mention it, as if, if you don't say it, people will jump on you.
Loved 3 when it came out, the snowfield sections are fantastic and really cinematic. Especially the cutscenes with the group, it works really well.
I prefer the first 2 games but I liked this too.
I love the trilogy for having a nice spectrum starting with horror in the beginning and ending with action. It's a shame that all I see is hate and nothing good about 3 that potentially keeps action horror fans away. Also sad that the series didn't wrap up all neat and tidy with 3 because of that damn cliffhanger ending.
As with any trilogy you must try and view the entire body of work as one big story - one with a beginning (Dead Space) a middle (Dead Space 2) and an end (Dead Space 3).
If you look at it like that then, i believe, it stands up.
Perhaps, the third game isn't the best of the three, but it serves its purpose.
For me people’s reaction toward DS3 is like what happened to RE6.
DS3 is underrated I just wished EA wasn't so greedy on this game.
Will pick this last version up as finished the first one, and currently playing the second one. To be honest i think the first one is the best mainly because of the Ishimura ship as the sense of fear is incredible.
Juat finished it last hour. Its enjoyable but not that scary like 1 and 2. More running and gunning.
its farcry not dead space, sorry if its not making me jump from my chair, i can't call it dead space.
most reviews gave it high 7s and 8s. And it's on a 7.8 on metacritic which is pretty good, HOWEVER...in recent years the consensus or perception has definitely changed. I keep seeing games journalists trash it, just today while watching a podcast containing a Calisto Protocol review one of the journalists rolled his eyes and made a snide remark about how bad DS3 is, I watched a list of "most disappointing sequels" and I think DS3 was number one! I keep seeing this strange retconning. Realistically it was a good sequel with a good Co op mode. More of the same, a little to focused on action perhaps. But still very good. Underrated at launch? No. Underrated now? Probably.
I personally love this game.
For all its problems, I did like the story in Dead Space 3, it wraps up the mysteries behind the necromorphs and the Markers in a neat way. If you don't count the DLC, which was a big cliffhanger, it was also a great send-off to Isaac after everything he's been through. Isaac goes from a nobody to a traumatized survivor to finally a hero.
Dead space 3 was like resident evil 6 when they turned it into a guns blazing third person shooter, rather survival horror with a friend.
I loved all 3! I never listened to the mob!
I played it. I can't remember anything about it. Unlike 1 and 2. Not a great sign haha
Heavily criticized, still enjoyed the hell out of this game.
Yeah I replayed it with ray tracing mods that make it feel way more horror.
just finished playing all 3 back to back and I love all of them.
I loved dead space 3 but the only spot where I felt a little scared was during the first time you fight those big spiked ones that you can’t kill only slow them while waiting for the train to come !!!
Yes, this game was alot better on reinstall (basically forgetting the previous games and focusing on what its doing serpately).
However, for the life of me, I can't get it to run on Windows 11 D:
It does run on W11
@@paulesthete4648 i tried a ton of ways, but cant make it work!
I assume its the OS, it ran fine on 10. Possibly a platform issue, mass effect legendary wont run, either!
Dead Space 3 is clearly a gem
GamingBolt in next year: "Is UMBreLla corPS an uNderRateD gEm?

I really liked creating my own weapons! It was fun to experiment with different weapon parts!
Yeah but you didn't have to use the micro transactions I got powerful weapons without the microtransactions I still got blueprints that I could drop for people I already got the devil finger so I don't need the blueprints
Finished all 3 DS.
DS3 is not a horror anymore but still is a good game.
while it kinda ruined the franchise, I still think its a really good game. It might be more action packed, but I think it makes more sense for Isaac since hes know gone through three necromorph disasters, he's gonna be cool. A few more scares would make it better, but still I'm glad I bought it
I just played all three, and i really don't get the hate 3 gets. 1 and 2 definitely made me More anxious but 3 had way better weapon customization, also i don't think the more action and adventure in this game made it any less fun to play. I am confused tho how Ellie got her eye back
The best word to describe Dead Space 3, for me, is "frustrating", because there is a phenomenal game buried in it's DNA. There are moments when it nearly creeps to the surface, but whether it's the poor writing of the characters, the unsatisfying changes to combat, the OP guns, etc. it always fails to do so. I actually enjoy the game - now that years have passed and my bitterness has waned - but I can't help but be frustrated when thinking on what could have been, and the fact that this was Visceral's last entry in the franchise, which had been stellar up to this point (at least with mainline entries).
The problem with this game was the forced coop. If you didn't have a partner then you lost a fifth or a sixth of the games content.
I do think Dead Space 3 is amazing and the only real fault I can find with the game are with the enemies and the content itself. By enemies I feel like they can be very cheap for the majority of the game or up until you get a certain weapon combo that you can really annihilate them with. Late game content gets a lot better with better gear and more options to customize your guns but it says a lot when I dedicate a specific gun to bosses and squads of enemies rushing me. And in regards to the content I did not like how a lot of the content is locked off unless you are playing in co-op mode. I don't think adding an AI partner would fix anything like that but allowing the choice for solo player to play all the content would be very well welcomed in a remake or remaster. Maybe it would even help the coop feel more fun because you could possibly beat it once yourself and then beat it again with a friend and help them with tricks and tips that you found during your playthrough. I'll beat a long time ago with a friend online and I remember fondly that was the most fun I've had in a multiplayer game.
i think people overreact to this game, granted it was quite different from the past two but it was still fun in it's own right
I always enjoyed it... definitely prefer 1 and 2, but this was still a fun game.
Honestly one of the best game openings. Very cinematic
DS3 is probably my most played in the series. It's not scary but damn it is fun shooting aliens with a friend
I like number 3 I never really fully understood people not liking other than 1 and 2 being better games I thought it was still a pretty solid game.
As someone who recently experienced the entire trilogy (I had played a bit of 1 previously, but 2 and 3 were completely blind) and I can say: Yes and no. It... changed a lot of stuff. Suddenly you can't carry 4 weapons anymore, you can get upgrade materials from dead enemies, and those resources, may I say are plentiful however there is also no reason to upgrade and experiment because a maxed out damage plasma cutter will deal the same amount of damage as any other weapon that has max damage stats. It took away the resource management from a survival horror game. And when you take that away from Dead Space, it becomes a lot less horror and a lot more third person shooter with horror elements. The story was good, but how they changed the game was not. I mean, I still had fun with it, but I think it took too much away from what made the previous entries great and terrifying to play.
Jus bought it for xbox360. Played the other 2 just not this. I'm excited to finally complete the story. I'm wondering what's in store
Dead Space 3 was not underrated, it was underwhelming.
I guess you could say Dead Space 3 is the Godfather Part III of video games.
Many people complained that Dead Space 3 had too much action, but both the first and second games had tons of action. Necromorphs spawned all over the place, and honestly, ammo conservation wasn't that big of a deal since the enemies constantly dropped ammo upon death. You could argue that with 3, they focused too much on action and less on horror. Which they did. But action has always been a part of the franchise. The first two games just balanced the action and horror out a whole lot better.
The first one definitely didn't and when they did shove alot of necros at you it was in a wide open room/area ds3 enjoys doing that in small areas the examples being the optional missions
