played dead space 3 on the hardest difficulty by myself. on that difficulty it was pretty obvious the campaign was made for co-op: it was insanely hard but more importantly very unfair at certain points. i never had trouble with the first two on their highest difficulties, including dead space 2’s three save mode.
the worst part of the whole thing is there was no special achievement/trophy for beating dead space 3 on this difficulty by yourself. felt like the last slap in the face for someone who enjoyed the first two single player campaigns so thoroughly.
i don’t think dead space 3 is necessarily a bad game, but this experience definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.
for the record, dead space 2 is my favorite tps of all time.
