Now we have the same mobs, but those are just Dogs and Starved people?! That is a huge step towards the casual player and by that I mean those of age from 12 to 16. Then they added the Pack and those tiny explosive babies to DS2. They were criticized for lurkers being baby-necromorphs. I really respect Visceral for the brave things they did before. If on your way from point A to point B a couple of coffins or vents didn't provide you a necro, then they sure will on your way back to point A. Making them smarter and giving them cheater-spawning-behind-your-back ability are not the same. There are so many of them, that bodies often disappear the moment you bring'em down! And now they don't stalk the corridors. DS taught us that one well-placed necromorph is scarier then a dozen running in your face. Now they group their body, cover their head with claws and slide to you as if the floor was covered with butter. They have so much armor on them, that all the embarrassing mutations of human body are covered. On Ishimura we read logs about that mad unitologist scientist, then at the end of the game, we see him killing a guy tied to a chair. And now an army of unitologists and a completely new character Danik. Isaac didn't kill people in 1st title, killed 2 in 2nd title because he had no choice. If you are a mentally normal human (and if you bothered reading the logs, of course) then it will terrify you. In original DS we saw, heard (audiologs) and read (text logs) people's deaths and sufferings.
Not only because they are dumb as hell, but because it changes the "death" experience. I don't like where they took the story, but it's their franchise and they decide where the story goes, so no ranting about the story. The example how money greed make a great franchise die. I didn't believe that DS2 would be scary, I thought it'll be a stupid shooter. It's the best survival-horror I ever played. By Tzatrix | Review Date: FebruOk, I'm a fan of Dead Space.
