I think the whole concept of them is much more interesting than the standard goyslop zombies that you see everywhere else. They are more mysterious in origin, they fit a sci-fi setting, they are more brutal and disgusting but in a fascinating way which makes you want to see more of them.
Also am I the only one who thinks about what it would be like if a necro outbreak happened in the local area? Am I just fucked in the head because I wouldn't mind the normalfag world being eviscerated?

Its The Thing mixed with zombies. Dead Space is basically the game The Thing license game should've been.
>Its The Thing mixed with zombies. Dead Space is basically the game The Thing license game should've been.
I disagree. A lot of the horror of The Thing comes from it's ability to disguise itself as anyone you've ever met. Dead Space is all about an unflinching horde of monsters trying to kill every living thing without any sense of self-preservation. If anything it's closer to Aliens in that respect.
>A lot of the horror of The Thing comes from it's ability to disguise itself as anyone you've ever met. Dead Space is all about an unflinching horde of monsters trying to kill every living thing without any sense of self-preservation.
Yeah but at first Red Marker has to turn people crazy and cause societal instability of people killing each other, before it can start infecting corpses on a bacterial level. So the aspect of suHispanicion and tension between human groups is still there. The original idea for Dead Space was a remote mining colony in a frozen wasteland. So its very obvious the biggest inspiration for the games was John Carpenters The Thing.
the whole mind fuck stuff the marker does with the visions and necromorphs doing spooky stuff to fuck with you really adds to it
the thing is much more basic though it's still top tier at what it does
but they still do things the thing doesn't like act all creepy and spooky, they let isaac and other characters know they are lurking about or just don't care and it has the same effect
the thing is an ambush predator 99% of the time unless it's caught with it's skin off or backed into a corner
necros don't give a fuck, they lurk, they watch, maybe some of them aren't even there and are just mind visions from the marker or moons, it's enough that i'd say they have their own style that separates them from the thing
Necros are ambush predators themselves, they use vents all the time. Also the moons use the markers to infect the populace first, infiltrating societies before appearing to eat them. In a way Thing is freakier because Thing doesn't need you to die to infect you, simply touching you can be enough to assimilate you. Necromorphs need the evil obelisks with insanity waves to produce enough dead bodies to form a formidable force. And they can't infect living things, only dead tissue.

that's so much worse though because off all the dead skin cells and stuff the necros can bring back
it's like the entire ship is eventually coated in a living skin from all the little bits of people that get shed during their daily routines to the point where everywhere you go isn't safe in the long run even if you cleaned up all the bodies there would still be tissue in the vents and on the walls that would eventually animate or just start to fuck with people as long as there was a marker around
those poor dudes who had to clean the ishimura in ds2 really got to me imo thinking the walls themselves were alive even if there was no necros around

Yeah but the tiny fungi-like necromorphs can't really harm you because your immune system can protect you. Meanwhile in The Thing humanity was lucky the alien was frozen in the most remote place on Earth with little to no life to absorb. Would it have managed to get into the sea the entire earth would've been done for. Necromorphs need the obelisks to produce enough corpses and dead biomass to create creatures with weapons that can produce more corpses.

Yes, but unironically. Problem?
Apocalypse is only fun for the first few days and the gracing period that comes after the initial wave of chaos.
It's complete dogshit unfun after that.
>Am I just [freak]ed in the head because I wouldn't mind the normalfag world being eviscerated?
super common thought for miserable failures. when you are a pathetic waste of a human being there is a strong temptation to project that onto the rest of the world. when deep down you know you contribute nothing and would be better off dead, you'll project that onto the rest of the world. in short, "misery loves company."
>Also am I the only one who thinks about what it would be like if a necro outbreak happened in the local area? Am I just fucked in the head because I wouldn't mind the normalfag world being eviscerated?

I would be the first to join and shill Unitology. Gonna work my way up so I can secure some bitches. Fuck them daily. Then start stabbing them mid-coitus and have a nice room full of future necromorph meat once it all goes to hell.
Fuck you all. I'm having my cake and devouring it too.
>Brother Moons as a concept was rad >never gets expanded upon again
A gaggle of talking corpse moons that use the process of forced evolution as a hunting method is top spooky.
Why is it we don't get enemies as cool and creative as Necromorphs anymore?
I think the only games these days with good enemy variety are Souls games now.
That artist goes too hard with the tentacles
Necromorphs are fairly restrained in their designs, very utilitarian. The stuff that guy draws would be more appropriate in the Thing prequel
Could you follow on from the ending of 3/the dlc in a way which would work? Because it seems like the whole of human civilization is fucked based on the ending of those, no chance for any redemption.
Genuinely one of my favourite zombie depiction in media. One thing I like about them is that unlike most zombies they don't infect humans by simply biting them, but by killing them. This makes them so much more brutal in their behaviour. It also means that any death within a necromorph outbreak creates more necros, even suicide can't save you. That's not even mentioning their physical appearance, which is a lot more interesting than your typical rotting corpse. Yeah, they're not wholly original cribbing a lot of inspiration from The Thing, but they're not so derivative to feel like a rip-off.
There are several semi common Necromorph types that are clearly made of multiple body parts smooshed together like the tentacles, brutes and tripods. Outside of incinerating yourself there's nothing you can do to escape becoming a necromorph after death.
I've always assumed that removing a necromorphs limbs is a temporary solution and that eventually they'll reanimate too. There are several necromorph forms that are just severed limbs like the parts of a Divider or Swarmers which are just loose bits of flesh.
I think the Many from system shock did the idea better, they're just fastzombies and later on the boss monsters are just goofy alien looking motherfuckers so there's not even really any body horror there since there's nothing recognizably human about them
it's still hand over fist better than a lot of modern horror games but still, I feel like dead space was a few key design decisions away from being actual horror and not just 'and then a skeleton popped out' tier meme shit. I don't hold it against the devs they gotta sell a game but like, come on, how many times can you repeat 'necromorphs pop out of the giant vent' in your own game before your HORROR ICON MONSTER just becomes a joke?
The Many are driven by a kind of ideology while Necromorphs purely exist to be killing machines without any semblance of human emotion. It's a different approach to a similar idea.
In 3 at least they were actual goofy alien motherfuckers
Your second point follows a thread of logic, however boring. Humans are useless without tools or teamwork, so they need a biiiig glow up to be lethal. Smash too many together and you lose the human form. And the absolute units on Tau Volantis barely needed any modification to begin with
Once you learn how their AI works they completely lose any scare factor they had. All you do is walk your back into a corner and pay attention to the only openings that are there. You may see a Stalker pop its head above some boxes but they almost never do anything at close range if they peek over a box instead of lean over and will instead to go the closest opening they can lean over instead. If you take out a leg it also makes them a joke but will trigger the next one.
The first encounter in DS2 (The church) can be cheesed to high heaven by just standing on the elevator as it causes the AI to become unable to find you. If you don't want to abuse that exploit then you can put your back to the elevator instead because they only have two spots to run at you instead. The starting point ore the center are probably the worst areas you can be at because they have like three avenues of attack.
The second encounter in DS2 (Picture related) you can pretty much just veg near the entrance and they should just run at you. I think if you went right there was a corner you could hug? This one I remember the least.
The third encounter in DS2 (Immediately after the Ishimura) all you need to do is run around one of the pillars directly to the left or right of you as they will only bumrush you from straight ahead and there's a bunch of poles on the ground to Kinesis at them.
The fourth encounter in DS2 (After the Stross bit) you just turn left, shoot the exploding thing on the ground, turn left again, plant your back at the corner with a view of the hallway directly ahead of you and so you can see the entrance you just came from. If a Stalker comes from the hallway you blast them normally. If you see one by the right where you came from you Stasis it.
Every single Dead Space 3 Stalker encounter can be pretty much done where you start, just put your back to the wall. The only exception is that open snowing area where you move forward and one of them jumps you at a time.
I love them.
It's a extremely good concept that broke the mold of traditional zombies and successfully elevated it to a higher tier of horror.
I especially like how necromorphs are not just fancy zombies but a entire ecosystem that actively teraforms it's environment for better chances at hunting/surviving.
They also don't just mindlessly kill but are part of an reproduction cycle of beings that are probably beyond our comprehension.
Too bad it is owned by fucking EA.
Isaac just stunned it for a second if you stand around during the chase sequence in the intro that Necromorph gets up after like a second and tries to kill you.
>aaaah microvibrations turned me into a ragdoll headcrab zombie. btw i can survive space, a million years of lying dormant, and i take 5 seconds to form out of any matter (but only humans.) all this and I die to a dude with a big boot in 2 seconds.
fantastic series despite the basic necros being shit
>all this and I die to a dude with a big boot in 2 seconds.
They don't die, you just disarm them at which point they stop animating the dead tissue. Notice how when you stomp their limbs, the tentacles inside don't stop moving, they just retreat inside the rest of the corpse.
Its some weirdass alien virus organism which can reanimate dead tissue. You can't kill a mushroom by destroying the cap because the actual mushroom is a root-like fungi under the soil. Only thing you managed to do is make its reproduction cycle fail that year.
I never really got the point of cutting off their explosive arm and using it as an explosive projectile when I always found just shooting them in the explosive arm is easier since they are almost always cluttered together with a bunch of other Necromorphs
Playing optimally gets boring real quick after the first playthrough
The generous stagger and reasonably slow enemies 1 & 2 had meant that having fun was still viable
Are you asking which would more effectively kill a group of humans, or what would happen if the Thing was in the presence of a Marker? Either way, the Marker wins.
Do we ever see a pure necromorph, one that isn't spawned from the twisted torn body of other organisms? I just wish for once we had a monstrous alien infestation that didn't look like it wanted to kill itself and couldn't even walk upright. Maybe a "morph" that wasn't born using "necro" would look more complete and not like it'd already have half its health gone before any fights
Games don't tell. The evil moon responsible for the events of the first 3 games is only the youngest moon, rest of the moons come from other parts of the galaxy entirely.
>Do we ever see a pure necromorph, one that isn't spawned from the twisted torn body of other organisms?
They're all the product of reanimated tissue. Pic related is the form the Necromorphs try to eventually turn into so you could say those evil moons are how Necromorphs are supposed to look like even though they're made of tons of frozen biomass.
the closest thing to that is the moons, but i'm pretty sure it's still necrotic tissue form whatever races it consumed, there's no such thing as a pure strain necromorph in the games
Then where did they come from in the first place, there had to be a start where they were self subsisting enough to get here
There isn't a pure necromorph. Necromorphs are basically the result of an alien genetic code that is embedded with the markers, that the markers replicate and send through their signals which affect dead tissue.
I thought the mardi gras flashing was very funny
Imagine a ladyThing getting frisky with a researcher, getting poised to rip her brassiere off, and tearing her chest open instead, reversing the role of who gets to do the penetrating. There's always room for comedy
Why use anything but the Force Gun? >Basically acts as a shotgun >Can knock almost every necromorph over on their ass flat. >No real aiming at limbs required as you can just blast Necromorons till they are blown apart >Has a sick ass grenade alt fire
Plasma cutter is for basic bitches is all I'm really saying here.
Lore wise, sure. But mechanically they're far less interesting to fight. Halo 2 almost got it down by giving them vehicles but Halo 3 failed to expand besides the odd pure form
you forgot the part where the markers make people kill eachother, themslves, and make more markers
also the flood needs intelligent life, the markers just need biomass
Once the ball gets rolling, the Flood zoom headlong into OCdonutsteel overpowered mary-sue monster. It works for 40k because everyone is like that, but it's odd for Halo, whose best weapon is a super soldier with permanent bullet-time
The moons stack the deck heavily in their favor, but they can be killed, and they were nearly stopped at least once before Carver ruined everything
The remake is good and I say that as someone who hates EA and even wanted the remake to fail just to spite EA. but it's not a bad remake at all. but I still prefer the original
All the spin-off media elevate the Aegis 7 + Ishimura incident for me to be as cool as Raccoon City with how many different perspectives there are to it.
>The comic that shows the Colony side to the outbreak occuring >The animated film that shows the Ishimura side to the incident while the Colony is being assfucked >The spin-off railshooter that shows the latter-half of the Colony incident (including seeing the shuttle from the comic that falls and crashes due to panicking passengers) and reaching the Ishimura which is currently being assfucked >Then finally, Dead Space 1 starts with Issac and crew being invited to the afterparty
The only shame is not everything lines up perfectly but it's done well enough I can look past that.
did anyone ever get turned on during the nicole hallucinations, like when shes forcing you down and stabs your eye then just gets on top of you, mounts you, pinning you with her body and just watches you as you're dying? am I fucked that this gets me off or nah, can i fix myself or something
What do you reckon it would actually be like once you become a necro? Or when you are absorbed into a brethren moon? Would it be hellish or really kino?
The fuck was there problem
there was
I think the whole concept of them is much more interesting than the standard goyslop zombies that you see everywhere else. They are more mysterious in origin, they fit a sci-fi setting, they are more brutal and disgusting but in a fascinating way which makes you want to see more of them.

Yeah but at first Red Marker has to turn people crazy and cause societal instability of people killing each other, before it can start infecting corpses on a bacterial level.

Standard Necromorphs are simple-minded compared to The Thing but the evil moons are basically The Thing but size of a moon.
I think what change needed dead space 3 was turning the humanoid enemies into spy necromorphs and rely less on gear of war shooting
but they still do things the thing doesn't like act all creepy and spooky, they let isaac and other characters know they are lurking about or just don't care and it has the same effect

The one guy in audio log in 2 cut off his legs and arm so he wouldn't turn into one, seemed like he had it figured out
People that do that just contribute to Dividers, anon.
Dividers are pretty rare, better than turning into the millionth slasher I guess.
True, but regardless, the Marker wastes not. Every ounce of flesh gets used somehow.
There are several semi common Necromorph types that are clearly made of multiple body parts smooshed together like the tentacles, brutes and tripods. Outside of incinerating yourself there's nothing you can do to escape becoming a necromorph after death.
I've always assumed that removing a necromorphs limbs is a temporary solution and that eventually they'll reanimate too. There are several necromorph forms that are just severed limbs like the parts of a Divider or Swarmers which are just loose bits of flesh.
That's in 1 isn't it? On the mining deck or whatever one has the asteroid, it doesn't work, you get attacked by a legless slasher afterwards
Brave. Stunning. Amazing.
So thats what jannies look like. Wow. It's worse than I imagined.
I think the Many from system shock did the idea better, they're just fastzombies and later on the boss monsters are just goofy alien looking motherfuckers so there's not even really any body horror there since there's nothing recognizably human about them

>A little headbutt is enough to knock one out too, apparently
They don't just power through it, they completely stop and start slashing randomly. The head still gets used even if they can live without it.
Isaac just stunned it for a second if you stand around during the chase sequence in the intro that Necromorph gets up after like a second and tries to kill you.
Isaac would be dead if the game followed it's own logic, yet here we are
Yeah but it was a headbutt from mother fucking Isaac from dead space tm
the transformation mangling the body happened in seconds and that was a mere headbutt,
also ingame I checked he immediately gets up,
dangerous undead corpses slashing are still physical bodies affected by physics
They look stupid.
They don't even have genitals.
End their misery.
they fucking suck
>aaaah microvibrations turned me into a ragdoll headcrab zombie. btw i can survive space, a million years of lying dormant, and i take 5 seconds to form out of any matter (but only humans.) all this and I die to a dude with a big boot in 2 seconds.
fantastic series despite the basic necros being shit
>all this and I die to a dude with a big boot in 2 seconds.
They don't die, you just disarm them at which point they stop animating the dead tissue. Notice how when you stomp their limbs, the tentacles inside don't stop moving, they just retreat inside the rest of the corpse.
who gives a fuck, they break physics. so much for sci-fi, they're magic.
Because other sci fi strictly adhere to natural laws right?
that's the thing that separates sci-fi from fantasy
I guess every sci fi series with FTL travel and laser guns is fantasy then
you said natural laws, not actual natural laws, so i agreed.
so you're just autistic then, should have known
Its some weirdass alien virus organism which can reanimate dead tissue. You can't kill a mushroom by destroying the cap because the actual mushroom is a root-like fungi under the soil. Only thing you managed to do is make its reproduction cycle fail that year.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
how the fuck does a bro get stuck to the wall?
With lot of cum as super glue
Haha i chop your legs and youre a joke
What does he say again?
>NiGGGAHHHHH*BOOM*
I never really got the point of cutting off their explosive arm and using it as an explosive projectile when I always found just shooting them in the explosive arm is easier since they are almost always cluttered together with a bunch of other Necromorphs
One shot and like 6 Necormorphs are dead.
Playing optimally gets boring real quick after the first playthrough
The generous stagger and reasonably slow enemies 1 & 2 had meant that having fun was still viable
To this day no other sound puts me as on edge as one of these fuckers yelping.
brethrenmoons are just reapers from mass effect but organic instead.
lame enemy
Thats why there was no dead space 4
Some of the best horror enemies in video games, they’re great
Please don't use that word, the alt-right is using it to insult trans people!
Who would win.
A Marker Placed in Antartica or The Thing?
Are you asking which would more effectively kill a group of humans, or what would happen if the Thing was in the presence of a Marker? Either way, the Marker wins.
Do we ever see a pure necromorph, one that isn't spawned from the twisted torn body of other organisms? I just wish for once we had a monstrous alien infestation that didn't look like it wanted to kill itself and couldn't even walk upright. Maybe a "morph" that wasn't born using "necro" would look more complete and not like it'd already have half its health gone before any fights
I hope you realized during or after typing this why a "pure" "necro" "morph" Is a dumb idea
What do you mean? Necromorphs are exclusively created from necrotic flesh, there is no 'pure' Necromorph species.
Then where did they come from in the first place, there had to be a start where they were self subsisting enough to get here
Games don't tell. The evil moon responsible for the events of the first 3 games is only the youngest moon, rest of the moons come from other parts of the galaxy entirely.
Dunno, it's never explained.
>Do we ever see a pure necromorph, one that isn't spawned from the twisted torn body of other organisms?
They're all the product of reanimated tissue. Pic related is the form the Necromorphs try to eventually turn into so you could say those evil moons are how Necromorphs are supposed to look like even though they're made of tons of frozen biomass.
the closest thing to that is the moons, but i'm pretty sure it's still necrotic tissue form whatever races it consumed, there's no such thing as a pure strain necromorph in the games
There isn't a pure necromorph. Necromorphs are basically the result of an alien genetic code that is embedded with the markers, that the markers replicate and send through their signals which affect dead tissue.
Does this thing count? it's basically a perfect Necromorph and if you ask me the coolest boss in the series.
It's a shame you don't get a final showdown with this guy like you do the Hunter in DS1.
Well?
I thought the mardi gras flashing was very funny
Imagine a ladyThing getting frisky with a researcher, getting poised to rip her brassiere off, and tearing her chest open instead, reversing the role of who gets to do the penetrating. There's always room for comedy
Is there any reason to go vertical with your plasma cutter?
I go horizontal all game.
Depending on the enemy type it can be useful. Cutting off a Leapers arms, for example
some arms are easier to shoot vertically, or if you manage to juke them and get on their side shooting vertically on the legs
Vertical does more damage to narrow limbs as horizontal doesn't hit with all three bolts
Babies and tentacles on walls.
Why use anything but the Force Gun?
>Basically acts as a shotgun
>Can knock almost every necromorph over on their ass flat.
>No real aiming at limbs required as you can just blast Necromorons till they are blown apart
>Has a sick ass grenade alt fire
Plasma cutter is for basic bitches is all I'm really saying here.
It's ammo-inefficient on any serious difficulty. Ripper is strictly better.
>The infection requires the host to be dead to be able to hijack it
Pathetic, the OG Flood are just incredibly more efficient and powerful than the Marker could ever be.
Lore wise, sure. But mechanically they're far less interesting to fight. Halo 2 almost got it down by giving them vehicles but Halo 3 failed to expand besides the odd pure form
The marker can make anybody go insane and makes them kill people or themselves so...
you forgot the part where the markers make people kill eachother, themslves, and make more markers
also the flood needs intelligent life, the markers just need biomass
>also the flood needs intelligent life, the markers just need biomass
Markers seem to require intelligent life, or at least intelligent enough to create more Markers.
if they don't find intelligent life then can force their evolution until it turns to intelligent life, at which it proceeds as usual
Once the ball gets rolling, the Flood zoom headlong into OCdonutsteel overpowered mary-sue monster. It works for 40k because everyone is like that, but it's odd for Halo, whose best weapon is a super soldier with permanent bullet-time
The moons stack the deck heavily in their favor, but they can be killed, and they were nearly stopped at least once before Carver ruined everything
They were only good as undead, before they were turned in some shitty alien invader
eh i think necromorphs is pretty cool guy
Reminder, chuds like being compared to Necromorphs.
should I get the remake or the original?
Don't know if my 2070 can handle the remake
they're both good, play the original first though
The remake is good and I say that as someone who hates EA and even wanted the remake to fail just to spite EA. but it's not a bad remake at all. but I still prefer the original
All the spin-off media elevate the Aegis 7 + Ishimura incident for me to be as cool as Raccoon City with how many different perspectives there are to it.
>The comic that shows the Colony side to the outbreak occuring
>The animated film that shows the Ishimura side to the incident while the Colony is being assfucked
>The spin-off railshooter that shows the latter-half of the Colony incident (including seeing the shuttle from the comic that falls and crashes due to panicking passengers) and reaching the Ishimura which is currently being assfucked
>Then finally, Dead Space 1 starts with Issac and crew being invited to the afterparty
The only shame is not everything lines up perfectly but it's done well enough I can look past that.
looks like trannies
chudmorphs
need to know if I'm alone in this
did anyone ever get turned on during the nicole hallucinations, like when shes forcing you down and stabs your eye then just gets on top of you, mounts you, pinning you with her body and just watches you as you're dying? am I fucked that this gets me off or nah, can i fix myself or something
No I was too busy hating Nicole and all her retarded "huehue I yell at screen ur scared now" cutscenes forcing the game to a halt.
If Nicole/The Marker need Isaac to initiate Convergence why is she always trying to kill him?
What do you reckon it would actually be like once you become a necro? Or when you are absorbed into a brethren moon? Would it be hellish or really kino?
A lot of the necros are screaming so they must be in constant orgasm mode, or just feeling really really good 24/7
