![]() ![]() Rehashing the regenerating necromorph simply to make the end more difficult was stupid. ![]() As for the end being "easy." Did you play it on Zealot? Zero fun to be had for me personally. The whole end sequence is a complete let-down. I was having flashbacks to the first game when the crazy doctor guy is like "check this out, I made a Necromorph that regenerates limbs." Fuck that shit! However, the Ripper tears it to shreds without wasting boxes of ammo, so that was nice. Suddenly you're being stalked by something that regenerates like the Hunter and has the head of the Hive Mind. That thing was freaky in the way it just showed up, no big introduction or explanation. When it bust into the room I didn't even know it was a new Necromorph until I chopped its limbs off, went to hack the panel and was attacked as it got up again. My favorite part of the ending (even though I hated it in the moment) was the Hive Mind/Hunter hybrid thing. Besides, if you let Nicole touch you get a great/terrible death scene. I enjoyed their lead up in Dead Space 2 ending in a confrontation with the Marker, and that was good enough in place of a final boss or other large grotesque creature. I mean, there was the Hive Mind in the first game, but it wasn't really much of a challenge. not gonna spend another day trying to kill a boss on a game I already beat on console.It seems to me that Dead Space doesn't really "do" final boss fights. Will probably try again next year but I cant keep putting the rest of my backlog on hold for this one game. I deliberately avoided using any DLC items as I wanted it to be a legit playthrough. This is the only way I can explain it feeling so much harder on PC than on Xbox 360. The enemy recovery animations play faster as a result of the higher framerate. I feel like the game is harder at 60 frames per second than it was on the slower 30 frames per second on console. I will have to replay the game in it's entirety at some point with better choice of weapons and make sure to come in better prepared in the final chapters. But, after having spent the better part of my Saturday attempting every tactic I could, I've concluded I simply am too low on ammo and health packs and credits, and my last save point doesn't go back far enough. Which is what is the most upsetting part. I actually beat it on Xbox 360 back when it came out. ![]()
