So I'm playing Dead Space and is it just me or is this

>>389498503
Most are except the Plasma Cutter and Force Gun.

I mean yeah, the whole point of the game is to cut off limbs; what the fuck is Isaac gonna do with a regular gun? The whole point of the weapon is to drive home the fact that you should not use it.

I found the Pulse Gun pretty useful for the tiny enemies.

>>389498671
You could just use the ripper

>>389498503
Force gun is god tier in 2 for some reason.

>>389498575
Ripper and line gun are dope, line gun would be amazing if it could rotate

>>389498503
It's kind of mediocre in the first game. In the second it's an absolute monster that gibs enemies even when aiming at the torso.

>>389498671
the pulse gun is the best weapon in the game provided you can aim

>>389498879
Well it wasn't good in the first game. All it did was push them to the ground.
Maxed out upgrades blows them to pieces in 2.

>>389498762
Really? I remember it feeling a lot worse in 2, like it didn't insta-gib as much and it didn't have as much punch to each shot.

I thought this gun would be the exception to the rule of don't shoot them in the chest like it would blow them apart but if you have to still shoot the limbs, what's the fucking point? When I first heard the name contact beam I assumed it would be like a laser beam cutting tool you could use to cut off the limbs, that woulda been way better.

>>389499351
>I thought this gun would be the exception to the rule of don't shoot them in the chest like it would blow them apart

It does exactly that in the sequel

Dead Space 3 was good. Not the best, but it was good as an action/horror.

I keep it in my inventory to sell the expensive ammo.

>>389500480
What the fuck

In DS2 it instantly gibs all non-boss enemies.

Right now I'm running Pulse Rifle, Seeker Rifle, Contact Beam, and Burner. I purposefully stayed away from the Plasma Cutter since I always use it.

This loadout works pretty well. Pulse for general use and as an 'Oh shit' button. Seeker for stalkers, bosses, wall babies, and black enemies. Contact for black enemies that need to die right fucking now. and the burner for kids, crowd control, and crawlers

>>389500480
Man I miss that alt fire.

I rarely used it but boy I missed not having it. It was a good 'get the fuck off me' button

>>389500480
Literally the worst change from ds to ds2

That alt fire is so much more fun than a grenade launcher

>>389499351
When you play dead space 2 you're going to have a wonderful time with the Contact Beam

>>389500751
It's a riot control weapon, alt fire is designed for 360 degree "crowd pacification"

This. Line Gun even slightly upgraded makes all the other obsolete, let alone when it's maxed out

Listen to me.

The ONLY weapon you'll ever need is the Plasma Cutter. It's the sexiest, deadliest, bestest.

Don't fucking use anything else.

plasma cutter is all you need in DS 1 or 2, dunno about 3.

pulse rifle is usable if you can aim and/or playing DS2

sell everything else. Although max upgrade explodo jav in DS2 is pretty alright if you want it.

>>389501551
I bet you got 100s of hours of "fun" out of cheat codes on San Andreas.

Who am I kidding? Your first gta game was probably five.

>>389501558

Flamethrower was a huge step up from the one in DS1 tho. It actually worked in zero gravity and did some respective damage itself

>>389501551
>health that low
Plasma would make short work of these fuckers too, and you'd have more fun/challenge doing it.

>>389501790

>>389498503
>its another thread where people keep saying only to use the plasma cutter

do you guys just try to not have fun?

the plasma cutter is boring and OP as shit.
I always go for the underpowered weapons, I actually love the force gun

>>389501829
To be fair its been awhile since I played DS2 and this was off memory, though it wouldn't surprise me if the flamethrower was better than DS1.
Still, whenever I play either game my loadout is always the same (unless I'm going cutter only)

Nope, not on impossible difficulty.

>>389501730
3 neutered the cutter and made it near useless, took away it's stagger and knockback and (probably but I can't remember) did less damage
Using the plasma cutter is actively gimping yourself in 3, or pretty much using anything that isn't a shotgun sniper combo gun variant

>>389501928

Refer to >>389501551

Its a fucking double barreled shotgun

It's not if you're playing on Zealot or higher. You have to aim properly, move around in a way that acknowledges all necromorphs, and be smart with the stasis/supplementing the lack of ammo with smart kinesis usage to impale the shits.

>>389502041
The .webm gun seems OP as well, I guess.

>>389501558
Javelin gun was amazing. Anything it didn't kill in the first shot (a lot of things) it would destroy in the follow up alt fire.

>>389502031

You should give it a try in DS2 sometime. It's quite good for mowing down large groups of enemies and is really handy since you can get items out of enemies without having the gib them making the weapon pretty clean. Also pretty blue flames when you max out it's damage

>>389502329
It's acually the best weapon in DS2 thanks to the upgrade which turns it in a grenade launcher.

Is there a better "I'm not stuck here with you, you're fucking stuck here with me" game than Dead Space? I never gave a half a fuck about the horror aspect, the combat is just too fun.

>>389502342
The neat thing about DS2 is any 2 weapons will probably synergize well and be viable.

ALMOST any.

>>389502664
Damn straight.

>>389502706

Just about any weapon works really well if you wanna do a single weapon playthrough. The only exception is the probably the nail gun you get with the DLC. Even then you can sorta make it work if you're extremely good with your aim.

>>389498503
Contact Beam may not be the most optimal gun efficiency wise, but I have a soft spot for high power charge-up energy weapons. This one is super satisfying to use.

>>389498503

I wish EA didn't shit on Visceral to pressure them into making DS3 down the path RE6 took (at least Chris and Jake's campaigns, im not -entirely- shitting on 6 as Leon's was the only one done right) otherwise it could've been so much more

Hell we might even have an HD collection right now.

I know people are on the fence about those but its -something-

>>389503158
The rivet gun is such a turd. what were they thinking?

>I legit never used anything except plasma cutter in all of the games

Don't get me wrong, I had a ton of fun and DS is one of my all time favorite series, but was that a poor design choice? I just never saw a reason to use anything, cutter was just so fucking great at everything. Even the small swarm shits, you could take out a good amount with a horizontal shot.

It's nice having hundreds of ammo, but an upgraded pulse rifle also shreds most things anyways.

>>389503492
I remember having little ammo on Zealot. I doubt I could have done it just using the cutter

>>389502706
Yeah, the only ones that fill the same niche are the Seeker/Javelin/Contact and the Ripper/Burner, as long as you don't include those together everything will work well with each other

>>389503492
Cutter is one of the best all-purpose weapons in any videogame. But on harder difficulties its issues with crowd control really start to become apparent.

>practically only used a plasma cutter throughout dead space 1 & 2 because all of the other guns felt so weak in comparison
>plasma cutter suddenly became kind of weak in the third one so swap to a rapid-fire nailgun
emptying hundreds of rivets into a group of necromorphs was fun as fuck and it actually ended up being the most ammo efficient weapon in the game for me

>>389504135
The ripper might be, arguably, able to fufill a similar role as the plasma cutter if you don't mind using it the same way with the alt fire.

>>389504135
I totally forgot that the seeker rifle even exists

I wanted to try dead space 3 but my ps3 is dead and it's on origin on pc instead of steam.

>>389503702
>fumbling over the kinesis button looking for throwables
Fun times.

>>389504809
You know what to do.

>>389504329
Its probably the most boring gun in the game, since it just fires a bullet, but I fucking love it

The only reason why I say 'HD Collection' is if it was just a plain port then they would get shit for 'Not touching up the graphics even though the games look good'

I'm just sayin

>>389506761
it just needs some extra Anti-Aliasing and filtering, Textures and lighting are still amazing.

>>389504329
Seeker is boring, since it's just a sniper rifle
Too bad it's also the most ammo efficient weapon in the game

>>389510449
NPC xenos don't do shit and go down in about three shots from an AP Cutter. I took on an entire nest by myself but lost hard against the queen. It was only because of my augments that I didn't die then and there. I managed to only get a few shots in before I realized I was too badly hurt, but then died from blood loss before I could repair myself.

>>389510937
I haven't played xeno in forever.
