Dead Space (series)/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

Stuck in the deepest reaches of space, on a deserted ship. What was meant to be a simple repair mission becomes a heart-pounding fight for survival. And as they all say, in space...nobody can hear you scream '''bloody murder'''...

** Hell, just ''play'' the damn game. It's like the developers watched [[Event Horizon]] and said "ok, ok, that was good, but what if we make some kind of ''Event Horizon''/''System Shock 2'' hybrid and turn it loose on an unsuspecting gaming community?"

** Even better, that spine-chilling rendition of "Twinkle, Twinkle" can be heard in the commons area of Chapter 10, a darkened room littered with corpses and dim lanterns. The fact that we never learn the origin of the disembodied voice singing it just heightens the creepiness. [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4641862/1/Twinkle_Twinkle Also, see this].

* The Guardians. Just. The Guardians. *Shudder* That pitiful, tortured cry they emit certainly didn't help matters.

** I would try to kill them as quickly as possible just so I wouldn't have to hear those horrible, HORRIBLE screams anymore.

** This troper always blew off the heads of Immature Guardians to make himself feel better, because that always seemed to kill them. {{spoiler|Turns out Immature Guardians are ''still alive and fully responsive'' even if you do this, which means that you ''can't'' kill an Immature Guardian and prevent their [[Fate Worse Than Death]].}}

* Issac's death sequence from being killed by the head of a Divider. {{spoiler|Isaac is decapitated and the Divider climbs into his neck, [[Puppeteer Parasite|taking control of his body]]. Somehow the worst part is when Isaac's arm reaches up to keep the Divider from falling off.}}

* While the Necromorphs are a bad case of [[Body Horror]], they are at least made from the corpses of people who are already dead. That 98% of the crew have been killed and turned into monsters is bad enough, but they are not even half as scary as the few unfortunate ones that are still alive.

** The number of people still sane enough to put together coherent sentences can be counted on one hand. The one with the bandaged eyes who keeps talking to the half of a corpse next to her before collapsing is the most mentally stable. {{spoiler|One of the first scenes in which you find a survivor is during the infamous scene with the empty corridor and the rythmic banging in the distance. After rounding some corners the first thing you see is the shadow of a man banging his head against a wall. When you approach him he caves his skull in and falls dead on the spot. Then there's also the insane woman that cuts open a living crewmember with a saw. As he dies she turns around to your direction, laughs once, and slits her throat with the saw.}} Other just stand there [[Laughing Mad|and laugh]].

** The hallucination scenes are quite disturbing as well, as Vandal imagines seeing bloody corpses, the Marker, and even {{spoiler|[[Samus Is a Girl|herself]] as a ''Slasher Necromorph.'' Yeesh.}}

** And let's not forget the first level's ending...

** Which leads to {{spoiler|Tyler manipulating Vandal to open the doors to the public sectors. Just seeing the surveillance tape of the hordes shows just how much shit will hit the fan for the Sprawl residents and Issac.}}

** And let's not forget the events after you kill your third Brute. {{spoiler|After killing the Brute, ''more Brutes'' crash into the room and [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|a false low-battery indicator]] blinks, making the player scared of both dying AND losing progress in the game. And then we have the hallucination scene that follows...}}
