@MAINEiac4434 The first one for me was the scariest. It was the atmosphere, the sound effects, the tone. I also hated the tight hallways. Never knowing when something would jump out at me, so I’d be tense the whole time until something finally appeared and then I’d focus on my “KILL KILL KILL” instincts XD.

There were plenty of times when I’d be thinking about the game at work, and I’d think “Let’s play Dead Space when I get home!” Get home. Pop it in. Load up. Then I’d just stand there and not move for half an hour going “why did I decide to play this?” Even on multiple play throughs it still gets me a little, specially the levels I hated most lol. Playing alone. In the dark. Surround sound.

Dead Space 2 wasn’t as scary for me, mainly due to the lack of super tight spaces, since you’re on a space station. But I loved it. And like I mentioned above there were new necromorphs that I HATED to run into, they’d always have me on my toes.

My next pickup, or at least rental. The first one didn’t look good to me at all (maybe because I was still stuck in PlayStation 2 purgatory). It still didn’t even appeal to me even after I got my PS3 in June of 2010.

I have a question: is it genuinely scary, or just startling? If it’s just startling, I’ll save my money and GameFly it.

@Abkanis ya I didn't end up buying the detonator on my first round lol. Worse part is how they jump UP and over things XD. I always knew when they would show up by the level layout. Try to keep my back to the wall lol. My biggest regret on the last few levels was not having the force gun. Very last store in the game I used the Zealot force gun XD. Helped so much when I was trying to gtfo lol.

I did Zealot mode, as my first difficulty. It made me cry a lot from how little ammo you get. And then 3 times more crying of that when I saw what hardcore mode was made out of.

The end made me especially cry in terror, and I actually had to break my oath of “Kill off everything in the way”. Best game I’ve played in a looong time.

Also: Detonator wrecks stalkers. Moreso than stasis. Just sayin’
