I just started playing Dead Space 1 again on a new plasma tv.
Feels like a different game... 8.5/10.

Dead Space 1 is seriously underrated game. Definitely one the best modern survival horror games, and leaps and bounds better than Resident Evil has been for years.
Well it is rated very highly and said to be one of the best modern survival horror games. However it is one of the worst survival horror games I ever played. It felt like RE4 but in outer space to me. Too repetitive and not enough emphasis on the "survival" mechanics (oversimplified mechanics, it's just a shooter) or the "horror" aspects (predictable, not very atmospheric, you're an armed juggernaut throughout the game). Monsters, flickering lights, and extreme violence don't automatically equal a horror game in my opinion.

^What difficulty did you play on? I played on the hardest setting and it was definitely survival based. I remember getting to the final boss with no ammo,and having to load a prior save in order to better prepare myself.
I haven't really cared for Resident Evils after the third one, but I enjoyed Dead Space very much. The atmosphere was very intense when you were constantly running low on supplies and enemy hordes kept pushing on. It reminded me a bit of Aliens - it wasn't really horror-y, but it was more about fighting for your life and being constantly under pressure. Plus I'm a sucker for scifi-horror.
Dead Space 2 wasn't much to write home about though, and haven't tried the third one.

Yeah, Dead Space 1 wasn't really a survival horror. It was fun though and on my first playthrough I finished the whole game with nothing but the plasma cutter.
Talking about survival. I played some Miscreated over the weekend but so far I'm not too impressed. It was just released in early access and is an early alphas, so I won't be quick to judge as DayZ has been in development for years and still has an insane amount of issues even though I still like to play it a lot.
Anyway, so far I'm pretty disappointed with most games this year. Hopefully, Dragon Age Inquisition will deliver as otherwise I'll have to declare NBA 2k15 as my GOTY.

lol wow. You need to play Wasteland 2 and Divinity: Original Sin too.

Normal mode. I'm sure supplies are more scarce on harder difficulties and you die easier, but that doesn't alleviate the main gameplay problems I have with it unfortunately (repetitive environments and gameplay, mechanics are too straightforward for a survival game in my opinion).
I do agree with Zojokkeli about Resident Evil though. Code Veronica wasn't bad, Zero just wasn't great, and RE4-RE6 are more shooters than survival horror (like Dead Space). Some of the modern survival horror titles I like are Underhell, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series (especially with mods), Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Penumbra series, and if you want to count them then Fallout 3/New Vegas too (especially with mods).

Yeah, played them. As I said before Divinity was a very pleasant surprise. [size=12.7272720336914px]Although I only started Wasteland. Might be coz I don't have the spare time like when I was younger to get really into rpgs anymore. Don't know. The new NBA is great though [/size]
I also am not a huge fan of Resident Evil. I liked RE4 but overall I much more preferred the Silent Hill and Parasite Eve games.

I enjoyed Dead Space 1 but that was a long time ago - NBA2k15 as GOTY
Above Dark Souls 2, Divinity: Original Sin, Middle Earth , Shadow of Mordor, Mario Kart 8, even gimme PC Titanfall over NBA2K15 (but to each his own).

Yeah, exactly. And I'm actually one of the biggest Souls fan since Demons's Souls but while Dark Souls 2 was fun it let me down a bit although I still bought it for both ps3 and pc.

And actually it's turning into a collection
I kinda contribute Dark Souls 2 drawbacks to the change of the team but with Miyazaki in charge of Bloodborne it's safe to say that's the most anticipated game next year followed closely by the new Silent Hill

Nice collection! Still haven't finished Dark Souls 2 or Demon's Souls. They're all fantastic games though.
