i have yet to NOT jump whenever a necromorph comes out to get me!

hard as hell in the initial going for me though. one necromorph i can easily handle, but two or three and i get so twisted around. trying to run away and get some distance.

i've been experimenting with the different guns. i like Line and Plasma Cutters, with plasma carrying more ammo. so trying to build plasma up from bench (trying not to use the dlc for now). i don't save and go back and play the little section so i can practice. the Pulse Rifle was good for these little buggers (like Flood spores from Halo) that seemed to swarm me. didn't really see what the Force Gun was good for.

hope i get better during the zero-g levels as well. the first got me all twisted about wondering what to do and where to put the energy modules.

all about experimenting and exploring which i am loving. just need to get better.

are you able to upgrade the number of health slots on the back on the RIG later in the game? i see in pictures from that wiki website more slots than i have currently, but didn't see where they mention health upgrades.

You upgrade your health (and oxygen supply) in the same way that you upgrade your weapons.

I'm confused. Didn't you have a post like this already? Did you delete it and repost it? :hscratch: I could have SWORN I read that you always jump at a new necromorph last night or earlier this morning. Way longer ago that 5 minutes, at least.

Ah, ok, that explains it. At least I'm not going crazy!

As Jeremy said, go to the bench and upgrade your rig for extra O2 and HP.

Use items from the inventory screen like Med Kits, Stasis Packs, O2 Cans. It's cumbersome, but it works.

That said, the controls feel pretty clunky...somewhere between RE4 and Gears of War and wayyy below Uncharted 2.

Remembering the mood that this game set for me and reading these new posts makes me want to go through a third time.

I don't mean to knock the game. I do like it.

The controls just feel a little bit like RE4 to me, which was amazing for its time, but feels a bit antiquated now...like I can't move as fast as I want to. At least in this case it can be attributed somewhat to the heavy suit though.

I'm playing through RE5 right now and think the controls suck balls compared to Dead Space. I can't wait to play through this game again though.

The controls for RE5 are worse than RE4 FWIW.

I will say there is one flaw in Dead Space... a quick turn around button! Agreed?

but you can use the RE4 controls in RE5. or so i am told.

i don't remember where, but i read that you can hover over a body and read the vital signs. i tried hovering over a recently deceased body and others, used every button and had no luck.

did i misread something or is it possible to do?
