@Meitori - agreed. It just seems lazy (and perhaps insulting to gamer's) that devs and publishers can't create a more complex enemy. This is a whole other debate, but I can't think of a single action/shooter game in which you don't observe your antagonist executing civilians or unarmed soldiers within minutes of starting the game. The more I see it, the more I'm finding it distasteful.

@Lurch, the entire terrorist side of things has become a bit stupid in games. Resident Evil 4 and onward pretty much just incorporated it badly, and Dead Space 3 went the same silly route.

@Tea - it was a sudden change from sinister background force to outright terrorists but Earth could prove a great location. Level design was another concern of mine tho - DS1 and 2 felt like real-ish locations converted into shooting galleries. DS3 felt too much like shooting galleries dressed up as locations. Hope they get the balance back in subsequent games.

Tea nay news on when the SF bluray will come in? [link]

That I agree with, wasnt expecting them to go that direction but religious zealots tend to condone terrorist type activity. It might more sense if dead space 4 takes place on earth after the events in awakening. I want to what happens between earth gov and unitologists now

Not yet, but I decided to check out a condensed playthrough on Youtube. It was certainly an improvement and I liked the more traditional ending but still some damage has been done to the characters and universe they created in DS1,2 and the books,comics. I just found the Unitologists progression to terrorists a shame.

@ lurch - Have you played the awakening expansion?

Sadly most survival-horror always seems to lead into action-horror eventually. I was really worried about Res Evil 6 but as soon as I played it for what is was (essentially a crazy action adventure with zombies) I enjoyed it for what it was worth and enjoyed some couch co-op. DS3 I found was great in SP. It was mostly the stupidification (I want this to be a real word!) of the story that most annoyed me.
