@NerdySabbath I don't know how to comment back with the new layout, so I hope this works. I'm not interested in eye candy when watching video game reviews on RUclips, in fact, I'm interested in quite the opposite. When did I make the remark that she is 'sickening'? I said I have absolutely nothing against transgender people, I simply pointed out that someone who does a video review should be pleasing to LISTEN to. She is a good reviewer, but I don't feel as if she is right for the job because I can't stand her voice.
While all the reviews I've seen are generally very positive, I still feel like this game isn't getting en enough love. It's fucking incredible. From the moment I started playing I basically couldn't stop. Just completely immerses you in a world.
To avoid any future offending ignorance: Carolyn Petit (the reviewer) is a guy who firmly believes he is a female. It is known at GS that he/she is transgender. Back to the video, awesome review and I loved the game.
Enough focusing on the reviewer. A great GS review and Dead Space titles are the scariest, most viscerally disgusting horror awesome experience on any system. Best survival horror from last gen.
+Kaito Mccaul you are supporting the insane that practice the worst form of self mutilation known to man and denounce someone normal do you support child molesters and serial killers too? they think their normal and were born that way where do we draw the line?I don't condone violence on people but I don't associate with the mentally insane
first of all, if they aren't infringing on the rights of others they can do whatever the fuck they want, it's people like you who are exactly like muslim extremists who want women to wear burkas and be ashamed of who they are, go fuck yourself.
My God, why don't you guys just leave this person alone? She's just happy with the way she is and her job as well. Many insecure people nowadays, grow up!
Everytime I hear this reviewers horrid voice I just cannot continue and turn it off. Please Gamespot, stop this reviewer from doing audio reviews. His voice is too painful.
wizard988 She has expressed her identity as a trans women multiple times on her twitter. You are misrepresenting her identity with your baseless bigotry. Her sex may be male (as in she has XY chromosomes), but her gender is certainly male. Their are important distinctions to be made, and you really shouldn't comment on an issue that you are not informed by. Here's some resources to educate yourself: www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/sexuality-definitions.pdf www.psmag.com/health-and-behavior/what-you-need-to-know-about-transgenderism-according-to-the-research www.advocate.com/politics/transgender/2015/02/01/study-transgender-kids-are-not-confused-about-their-gender-identitie williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/category/research/transgender-issues/
+wizard988 Objectivity is in illusion made up by weak men who try and seek truth where none exists. I will respect anything you identify as (no matter how little sense it makes) because that is your identity. Your perception of "objectivity" is inherently subjective. You are a bigot.
hey man i saw ur comment and i now got this game used so i was wondering if a decent amount of people still play the online a lot enough to justify purchasing the online pass for the multiplayer portion of it?
@tofuntomiss Imagine if in dead space 2 they gave Isaac more Melee capabilities along with new weapons....A slasher is about to slash you, you press 'A' or 'X' (depending on system) and Isaac counters and rips off the blade and impales it through their thigh so they are more prone to limping, then the player gets to decide whether to stomp finish or leave the nercromorph there to suffer.
Exactly. So if dead space 1 was actually the sequel, we'd all be saying it wasn't as scary. Bottom line is, dead space games are certainly very creepy and atmospheric, but I think you only get that TRUE scare factor the first time around. With the sequels, it's mostly just some jump scares here and there to keep you on edge.
The zero-g areas in DS2 are fun, in DS1 it was just jumping, but the only thing i didn't like it about DS2 was the "entering/exiting: vacuum or zero-g" voice. but DS2 is a great game.
@SkeetSkeetStreet please don't take this offensively - but I honestly thought this was a guy with gynecomastia. Or maybe she's just a masculine female or, hell, he/she could even be a guy in the midst of a genderchange. Either way, does it really matter? No one could say that he/she is a good person just based upon this video though I'm sure we can all agree that he/she is a great reviewer. Excellent intonation, choice of words and a very clear and informative review.
I'm actually glad they stopped filming the actually reviewer talking; 1. the internet audience is obviously still not mature enough to not insult the actual speaker, 2. it doesn't actually mesh well with the video game footage, and it is actually distracting.
@Jerrongamereview No dude. Look Multiplayer: it's the reason you put the dead space disc in the tray after completeing SP. fun. / Singleplayer: Its one hell of a ride, but its so fun the next thing you know its over. Sick of playing it over and over? Multiplayer comes in.
Does Dead Space 2 has like cool environments like you can see the planets in the background and stars or is everything like inside a ship and very closed quarters?
Idk, I just am nostalgic of the Ishimura. I remember the comics, andimated series and Wii game that hyped me up to play the first one and see how things played out. I like how 2 brought you back to the Ishimura and how the space station felt like the first one with tight corridors and a sense of whats going to pop out of any door. 3 was disappointing, Popping out of the snow was a little clichéd but the part while your in space was enjoyable.
I just loved Dead Space, I just finished playing. It looks like Dead Space 2 is totally worth it. It seems a lot more thrilling with better visuals than the first. I will definetely buy it.
@acenumbah1 How many chapters is single player ? I have the game and Im at chapter 5 but I still didnt find out anything new that wasnt in the demo, only some new areas and necro's
I know, but even in space, I never had to bother with my air reserves. Its a nitpick but air upgrades were a tactical necessity in the first two. Im just stuck in the past I guess.
I know it's insignificant.. But it kindof buggs me how the laser points don't fall realistically on whatever you're aiming at with this one.. I thought that was a nice touch in the first one.
If dead space 2 was dead space 1, it'd be terrifying. What I mean by that is if dead space 2 was the original game. The only reason it's not as scary is because it's familiar. Dead space 2 IS scary, and IS gory and sadistic as fuck, but I think people just knew what to expect so they weren't as scared.
get both if you have the money,i own both and i think dead space 1 has beter story and atmosphere but dead space 2 is better in terms of gameplay and fun not to say that the original is not fun.so get both its worth it.
I disagree. The first one, you have a feeling of isolation and true terror since there is no one to help you. The second one reflected some of that concept but focused more on action scenes. (props for 2 for an in depth look into the Unitoligy church) But 3, was almost all action, 1/2 the space, no isolation, and wide open environments. Was not a fan of the upgrade system though
They are both great games. What I would do is get the first Dead Space. Then get the Second one so that you will have a better understanding of the story. Believe me, both games are worth every penny. :)
@Blackuot94 You want to know what else is amazing? The fact that you were able to pay attention to what this thing was saying. I didn't catch a single word I was too busy thinking what gender this thing would classify as.
I love this game. So lame that so many people forget about it when they talk about their GOTY just bacause it came out in Q1. This is my second best game of 2011 next to Skyrim.
im a little worried about dead space since theyre saying they want to appeal to a 'broader audience'. i hope they dont forget about what made the first game great
Lol, I concur. When I was about 12-13 years old I came home from school one day and told my mom, I wish I could be as stupid as everyone else. She asked me why, and my answer was "they all seem so happy being totally ignorant, so I figure it must be a good way to live". But all is not lost, there are people who every once in awhile can surprise you. There are infinitely more idiotic worthless examples than there are good ones, but the good ones are still there.
People's stupidity just makes me sad. I'd like to use a lot of cussing here, but I won't lower to that level. What the hell does it matter what the reviewer looks like? Are you all just a bunch of adolescent kids? My god, this generation of people should be flushed down the toilet. Get a grip peple, not everyone has to be like you. You're not that special or big of a deal. Seeing these kinds of negative comments just make me feel sorry to be a human sometimes.
This game is very scary and that means that even this video review is scary, but I didn't scream for my life here by watching those necromorphs, I screamed when I saw that reviewer!
@sakimafia I agree, my grandfather was gay and his husband had surgery to be a woman, and i dont judge people like that because we all do have are own story :)
Came for the review for a game I never got to finished and was thinking of picking up again. Staid for the comments about the weird presenter. Nice internet 👍
Why the dislikes? This was a great revie. Loads of gameplay and loads of interesting topics and information without spoiling anything major.
some people are afraid of the dark, others simply didnt like the review itself I guess.
maybe because of the guy in video...or girl...idk
+Rodimus Prime She's a trans woman.
Satanic Gaming Umm, who the F cares?
Why do u think shit for brains? Not saying I agree with the hate but to pretend you don't know it's there just perpetuates the ignorance

Didn't know Caitlyn Jenner reviewed games.
Shut up you transphobe!
@fellowmanH2
No no, I said we're not here to judge the person doing the review, rather we're here to judge the review of the game in question.
Triple H stunt double
Lol, it never ceases to amaze me what people will say while hiding behind a computer screen
What... The... Fuck... He/She sounds like fuckin Mandark from dexters lab hahahaha
Scariest thing about this game is the reviewer
This guy is scarier than the necromorphs
yes this is evil.
Lol
To avoid any future offending ignorance: Carolyn Petit (the reviewer) is a guy who firmly believes he is a female. It is known at GS that he/she is transgender. Back to the video, awesome review and I loved the game.
I didnt even notice that the reviewer was trans until reading the comments.
BS
its MAAM!
@checkreality1 yeah I know. But I really didn't notice till i read the comments. Thanks for your opinion :)
Enough focusing on the reviewer. A great GS review and Dead Space titles are the scariest, most viscerally disgusting horror awesome experience on any system. Best survival horror from last gen.
0:53 Those 'minor' tweaks were the best damn ones I've ever seen.
Very good game! Worth buying!
@YoungRollTide I was talking about the necro, I mean reviewer..thing..
I thought that was a dude reviewing the game
So gamespot hired an actual necromorph to do this review??!!
He nailed the Evan Stone look.
1 of the best horror games ever made since RE2 and SH1.
carolyn? uhhh...so brave.
Good for Gamespot for hiring a Transgender person. I am transgender and a gamer and I want that job!
The scariest parts are when they cut back to the reviewer
On the subject of the reviewer, for the longest time I had no idea what the hell it was.
WHAT IS THIS....I DONT EVEN, EYES BLEEDING !
should I buy even thoug I haven't played the first one? I lovee sci-fi trhillers! is it scary?
is that a he or a she???
man...the world is messed up
No you're why the worlds messed up
Logan Jacobson What ?
+Kaito Mccaul you are supporting the insane that practice the worst form of self mutilation known to man and denounce someone normal do you support child molesters and serial killers too? they think their normal and were born that way where do we draw the line?I don't condone violence on people but I don't associate with the mentally insane
first of all, if they aren't infringing on the rights of others they can do whatever the fuck they want, it's people like you who are exactly like muslim extremists who want women to wear burkas and be ashamed of who they are, go fuck yourself.
@ 0:35, this is what chuck norris checks under his bed every time he goes to sleep.
is that a women?
It's supposed be.
pre op maybe?
Man first and turned woman
whats better ign or gamespot?
Is that a Shem?
Thanks for taking the time to do such a comprehensive review, Carolyn. I purchased the game and cant wait to play it.
What the fuck is that reviewing this game?!?!
My God, why don't you guys just leave this person alone? She's just happy with the way she is and her job as well. Many insecure people nowadays, grow up!
Ok she/he needs to be let go. Not because she/he is a trans, but because they're annoying as hell and makes me turn off all of it's reviews.
welcome to the internet.
O.O o_O o_O o_O I cant describe how ive looked when i saw the reviewer xDD
DEAD SPACE 1 AMZING, DEAD SPACE 2 MASTERPIECE, DEAD SPACE 3 A GREAT CONCLUDING GAMING
The voice....I just can't do it....I'd rather listening to whining music.
should I get this and also the first dead space or just the second one?
I know I'm not the only one thinking this, but. is that a dude or a dudet speaking throughout the video?
Top 4 games this generation: Fallout 3, Batman Arkham Asylum, Dark Souls, Dead Space 2. Period.
Everytime I hear this reviewers horrid voice I just cannot continue and turn it off. Please Gamespot, stop this reviewer from doing audio reviews. His voice is too painful.

Whats the best dead space 1,2 or 3!!?!
O_O
hey man i saw ur comment and i now got this game used so i was wondering if a decent amount of people still play the online a lot enough to justify purchasing the online pass for the multiplayer portion of it?
_[for all the confused transphobic dudes]_ Men love how nothing can exist unless it’s through men to love it.

It's a shame she's an SJW, because she's a decent writer.

The zero-g areas in DS2 are fun, in DS1 it was just jumping, but the only thing i didn't like it about DS2 was the "entering/exiting: vacuum or zero-g" voice. but DS2 is a great game.
hows the campaign?
@SkeetSkeetStreet please don't take this offensively - but I honestly thought this was a guy with gynecomastia.

I think DS 2 is one of the BEST action / horror game of our time.No other game seems to come close
@doomblackdragon Um well first of all I LOVE this game. 2nd I wasn't talking about the game I was talking about the reviewer.
Should I get this game or Max Payne 3?
@Jerrongamereview No dude. Look Multiplayer: it's the reason you put the dead space disc in the tray after completeing SP. fun. / Singleplayer: Its one hell of a ride, but its so fun the next thing you know its over. Sick of playing it over and over? Multiplayer comes in.

So is it worth $60?? Any help?
I just loved Dead Space, I just finished playing. It looks like Dead Space 2 is totally worth it. It seems a lot more thrilling with better visuals than the first. I will definetely buy it.
stop being so harsh on this person guys. how would you like it if people were chattin this much crap about you. Grow up!
@acenumbah1 How many chapters is single player ? I have the game and Im at chapter 5 but I still didnt find out anything new that wasnt in the demo, only some new areas and necro's
for dead space 3, i just hope there is more variation in final kill for every enemy
@bliglum youcan changethe setting to classic aim so you can get the laser pointer
I know, but even in space, I never had to bother with my air reserves. Its a nitpick but air upgrades were a tactical necessity in the first two. Im just stuck in the past I guess.
I know it's insignificant.. But it kindof buggs me how the laser points don't fall realistically on whatever you're aiming at with this one.. I thought that was a nice touch in the first one.

This game was amazing! However, dying for the first time on Hardcore made my rage quit faster than any other game!
I really miss this franchise
get both if you have the money,i own both and i think dead space 1 has beter story and atmosphere but dead space 2 is better in terms of gameplay and fun not to say that the original is not fun.so get both its worth it.
I just realized, 99% of the comments posted here is about the guy who reviewed Dead Space 2. Not about the game itself.
this game worth getting? :)
Gamespot reviews are so underrated.

im a little worried about dead space since theyre saying they want to appeal to a 'broader audience'. i hope they dont forget about what made the first game great
i applaud gamespot for giving everyone equal oppurtunity and not caring what other ppl have to say :) a million thumbs up gamespot!!!
this and the 1st are some of my favourite games... 2 wasn't as tense as the first one but still amazing atmosphere and gameplay
@micheal9868 playing area 51 is like playing halo with a different feel and different enemies
Lol, I concur. When I was about 12-13 years old I came home from school one day and told my mom, I wish I could be as stupid as everyone else. She asked me why, and my answer was "they all seem so happy being totally ignorant, so I figure it must be a good way to live".

Nice internet 👍
um this game looks awesome and i wana buy it but will i get the story if i havnt played the first and do people still play online
I'm wondering the same thing but honestly, does it even matter?
i watched the video but didnt see any score, anyone happens to know what was it?
