1. Always check forums for the issues of said game before buying it!
2. If it came out in the same month you heard about it, wait until the price goes down (especially if it’s $60).
3. If the graphics look amazing, it’s too good to be true.
4. Watch out for “fishy deals” of getting all of this bundled into it.
5. If it’s a game made by EA… for the love of god, WAIT until the price drops!!
Dead Space 3, buggy? Yep. Why? … I wish I knew. It’s got some serious flaws behind that shiny coat of paint. The most serious one, a save game feature that’s even worse than FarCry 3. They threw out the Save Stations for Waypoint Saving. You can also save on the fly.
Well, that’s really good and dandy, but this means nothing when it DOESN’T FUCKING WORK!!! The waypoint save system is very.. trollish. And saving manually is pointless.
For example, I get done clearing out from my first Sub-Mission, and head to Chapter 5. So I gotta go at that time. And I save and quit, even when a waypoint save, hits.
The next day, I attempt to load the save, and it boots me back to the Main Menu for no reason. Attempting to load my Waypoint from the “Continue Saved Game” feature, puts me right back before I even started the Sub-Mission… so all of that work was pointless.
I think I’d like my $60 back, for a broken game, please. And waiting for a patch… probably going to be March or past that, ’till it shows up.
