Played the Dead Space demo today and it didn't grab me at all. Not sure why, I'm usually nuts for this kind of game. What am I missing?

[Anders]

I don't know. There's guns, gore, fugly aliens, straightforward gameplay, focused story, depressing gloomy atmosphere, great visuals, even better sound. My God, man, what more do you want?

Spoiler: show

Tits and foxey laydies? Yeah, it doesn't have that.

A soul?

Oh and it doesn't have a music by Eric Brosius either.

I agree, the demo's gash. The game's still on my to-play list, but I can't imagine many units being sold on the back of the demo. Rush job.

I thought Dead space was generic mish mash of ideas and I didn't like it either so there!

Dead space is 2 hours long for the single player game.

[The Caffeine Kid]

Surely not? That's even shorter than Portal.

"Now, if there's a ding against Left 4 Dead, it's that the fact that there are only four scenarios, which is a small number to wrap your head around, and you can play through a scenario in 20 or 30 minutes on the normal difficulty setting. On higher difficulty settings"

I've got about 16 hours of play out of Left 4 Dead already, and I can honestly say I don't think I'll need much else until long after Christmas. I'm playing it as it was intended to be played.

Dead Space is a defiantly single-player experience; if that title is two hours long I'd be very surprised indeed.

[WiredWorm]

Erm, you said Dead Space is 2 hours long and then the quote talks about Left 4 Dead.

The point about Left 4 Dead is that the majority of the game is held in the multiplayer mode - i'd certainly not bother buying it if you only plan to play the single player campaign.

It's a bit like COD4 to be honest - the single player is excellent but can be completed in 8-10 hours. The multiplayer, however, will keep you playing for many many months.

Roughly 10-11 hours to complete I reckon. Ample replayability if someone was to do that.

Yeah, perhaps if you removed all the enemies, gave your bloke all the key items and held the fucking doors open for him. Where do you come up with this shit?

He's getting the games mixed up.

Shit. Dead Space is 12-15 hours long.

Is anybody else having Live problems? Mine is acting similarly to last Christmas, slow at best and randomly signing out. On one of my marathon sessions on the 'two hour long' Left 4 Dead last night I kept getting a way in and then the connection would drop, either to the game servers or from Live in general, just like COD4 all those months ago.
