Convince me to buy Dead Space
LongDeth | 8:31 PM on 10.15.2008 36 comments


My girlfriend recently broke up with me. I won't go into details, you guys don't care about that. The point is, I was really depressed for awhile, still am really, but then I realized: I can drink booze and play games for awhile and just bury it deep inside! Thats the American way people.

Everything I really want isnt out yet, and Im off on the weekends. So I need something for this weekend, and the only thing really there is Dead Space. I think the game looks cool but I wouldnt trust EA to put out a flaming orphanage if it meant delaying Madden. Point is, Im scared for one thing of a rushed game. Secondly Im afraid of it looking too good. I trust the community here much more than I trust the "reviews" anywhere else.

Convince me on Dead Space or point me in a better direction is what Im saying.

The best way to get over a break up is by working out or going for runs, that's what I find works anyways.

Buy Dead Space. Go on, do it. You know you want to.
jediyoshi's Destructoid Blog
Consider the alternative.
manasteel88's Destructoid Blog
cause killing aliens is fun...why would you need any other reason.
Jordan Devore's Destructoid Blog
I'll say this, Dead Space is one of the most polished games I've played this year. Nothing about it feels rushed in any way, and I honestly think it's a GOTY contender (although it won't ultimately win with so much tough competition).

If you like shooters, survival horror games, or the movies The Thing and Alien, buy this game.
AKK's Destructoid Blog
I saw a preview for this in Game Informer a year ago, and it was at least a year in development at that point.

2 years = how long IW had to make CoD4.

Being rushed is not a problem Dead Space has.
Alexradl's Destructoid Blog
Grim:

Agreed. Ignore the OXM and Eurogamer reviews, Dead Space is an amazing game and shouldn't be ignore.
randombullseye's Destructoid Blog
Convince me to party all the time party all the time PARTY ALL THE TIME.
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog
Sorry to hear about the break up, shit like that can be rough.

Do you really need to be convinced to buy a game that mixes elements from alien, event horizon and the thing seamlessly together in an awesomely well written story?

Not really, but regardless: Buy it.

You can convince yourself that the Necromorphs are your girlfriend, and smile as you chop their limbs off.
Captain Morgan's Destructoid Blog
I played it. It's fun. Buy it.
I'm not really sure if it's funner drunk yet, but what isn't?
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Dead Space sucks, don't buy into the hype, etc. etc.
nebones's Destructoid Blog
MrSadistic just crushed my dreams.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
I just crushed my balls in your mouth, bitch.

jk I love you, even if you are from a non-USA country.
Quisling's Destructoid Blog
don't do it.
Rucksack's Destructoid Blog
I don't know if Deadspace is the ticket to becoming happier. It seems like an awfully depressing game to me.

I'd go with a classic hack and slash instead.

I hate to sound like a frat-boy, but the best way to get over a girl is to get under one. I say go get laid my friend.
blehman's Destructoid Blog
Convince me that the bird is NOT the word.

Also, just do it. Chopping limbs off aliens isn't all bad.
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Its the best survival horror game in recent years.
nintendoll's Destructoid Blog
Convince me to be your new girlfriend ;)
chuchoyei's Destructoid Blog
i broke up with my girlfriend today and i think the best way to get over it is to do something that entertains you so you never get bored

we're living tough times
mix's Destructoid Blog
@Nintendoll

A tad early perhaps? Naw....lol

I paid for Dead Space in FULL before I even played it as it looks like teh sexor, buy it!
norm9's Destructoid Blog
Convince me that you didn't just make up the girlfriend part, and instead just really want opinions about Dead Space.
AngelsDontBurn's Destructoid Blog
I just finished playing it for the first time. It's TOO good! I'm glad it doesn't disappoint at all! I haven't even gotten THAT far yet!
10BobMarleys's Destructoid Blog
Sounds like you'll already have some Dead Space.... IN YOUR PANTS!! BWAHA HA HA HA... Sorry dude, low blow (BWAHAHA HAH HAH).
liam2015's Destructoid Blog
Convince me to give you the antidote! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Game is amazing and scary and really well done.. Just label EA a stigma just cause MAdden. Army of Two wasn't the best but it was a fun-cop game.
maxio098ui's Destructoid Blog
convinced me your emo. nah good luck with the break up. ive been there it sucks. i dont know about dead space. it might make me shit my pants to much.
LongDeth's Destructoid Blog
Norm, do me a favor and go fuck yourself.
Others, I didnt put this in the forums because Im having problems with the forums ever since I moved. If you dont have something constructive to say, just leave it out.

Rucksack I see what you're saying but this wasnt just any girl. Long story, not something for destructoid.
