What didn't you like about DS2? I never played it and was thinking about copping Dead Space 3
The original Dead Space was a legit survival horror game. It was creepy (genuine atmosphere), the story was good and the pacing was perfect. You never knew what to expect around the next corner.
Dead Space 2 ruined all of that. The story and pacing were garbage and they eliminated almost all of the atmosphere. It turned into a generic action game. DS2 was a corridor shooter. All you did was go into a room, get swarmed by enemies and blast your way out. Rinse, repeat for 8-10 hours. It was tiring and that's all you did.
