Let me be clear: I love the original DEAD SPACE. This is a horror-space genre game that was surprisingly entertaining. It should have just ended there, but the game made so much money that EA went back and released DEAD SPACE 2... which was unnecessary.

I hope they end the series with DEAD SPACE 3, which was recently released. I'm playing it on loan right now, and it's a game that I'm not exactly looking forward to playing. I don't know why, but the game now just seems like a chore to play.

The reason why we had various so-called "weapons" was because the game started off on a mining planet - so all your weapons were things that space miner used. To carry those "plasma cutter" type of weapons on the second game was ridiculous, but not without reason (since you're still in space returning to that mining planet).

With DEAD SPACE 3, all your weapons are designed as real weapons. I don't exactly understand upgrading the weapons. There are eight areas of your gun you can upgrade. Maybe there's just too many choices and not enough weapon upgrade chips that is given to me (it seems like EA just wants people to pay real money to get all the best material.)

Anyway, I am only at 20% of the game at normal settings, I don't know if I'll finish the game. The game is slightly different from the first game - you can't really play it the same way - and maybe that's why I don't really like this new game. It is perfect if you're new the franchise.
