Dead Space 2 vs Star Citizen
Dead Space 2
Dead Space 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to Dead Space, a thrilling third person shooter that is guaranteed to give you a scare. This sequel retained many of the elements that had made the franchise successful, including the third-person view, the terrifying gameplay as well as a brilliant continuation of the storyline where the first game left off. In fact, you could say that Dead Space 2 simply offers more of the same experience you'd get from the first game... with the exception of the storyline - the plot in this game is definitely different from the former.Many critics and fans of the game bemoaned this fact, and as much as they would like to love the sequel, Dead Space 2 had been quite a disappointment to many of them. However, if you'd like to enjoy an "extended version of the first original Dead Space game" a.k.a. this game, you'll be in for a treat. If not, you might want to skip this one altogether and get Dead Space 3 instead.
Star Citizen
Star Citizen is an incredibly ambitious and yet highly anticipated (and not to mention, hyped-up especially players who simply adore the genre) project to create the world's very first open world, sandbox game that's set not only in space but also on the many different planets and other locations that you happen to land on/dock to. The game will be pretty massive and it is developed on an as grand a scale as an indie company possibly can. The end product - the game's currently in early access - might end up looking like a Star Wars/Star Trek-like world that's equally in-depth and likely as diverse. Of course, the science-fiction/futuristic feel simply adds to the enormity of the game.However, being the type of game that even triple-A companies have never yet attempted before, the developers have drawn some flak in regard to the chances of actually finishing the game development process and giving their players - the people who had bought and funded the game - a complete game to play. Many critics think that these players will get burned in the end, but for someone who has grown up somewhat obsessed with almost every "space frontier"-type series ever made, I do hope that Star Citizen will be able to reach its true potential even if that means the downloads will take a painfully long time to complete.
