dead space question

[Nik]

The controls in that game are so beyond terrible I'm not sure I can be arsed playing it.

I beat the game with mouse/keyboard just fine, so it must just be you

Ok but for my other unanswered question: why does the main character have this funky suite on and no one else ?

So did I, doesn't mean the controls aren't fucked up.

They ran mouse/keyboard input through an analog controller emulator. Seriously. That's fucking inexcusable.

It's supposed to be an engineering suit.

I don't understand the hate on the controls. It was fine for me without Vsync, slow turning and all, and I felt that Isaac had realistic weight and response time. Dead Space is one of my favorite games of the past few years.

I hate it because at the VERY least the devs should have included mouse & keyboard support. It's just plain insulting that they didn't, considering it should be the highest priority for any port.

If you move your mouse slowly enough in Dead Space the crosshair won't move at all. It's emulating an analog controller stick...

Atrocious.

Welll.... that was a short game. Intense but short. If the controls had been better it would have been a 9 easily; but with the lousy controls more like a 7.5 or 8.0. Also very linear. But fun. Is it worth playing a second time? When I finished the first time it said it unlocked the military suite whatever that is.

Oh one question. I didn't understand that game where you throw the ball through the holes for points. What I mean is it wasn't clear to me what sort of score is required to win. It just says - win the game and get a prize but never really indicated how to win.

Story wise I didn't understand why nicole whacked herself.

regarding the game, I just got the ball and shot it through whatever hole was open. it was enough to win all the games.

regarding Nicole,

I tried that but with a score of 17 i didn't win at level 1.

It helps if you get really close to where the balls are ejected, then you can just grab them as soon ass they're ejected and throw em back in a hole. Perfect score every time.

 

[you2]

what is 'perfect' score. Do you win by reaching a certain value ? It sounds like you win if you throw all the balls in the hole (from what you said). If this is the case could I just throw it once and then let the timer drop to 0 ?

you stand on the closest platform then use telekineses to shoot and bring the ball to you
