Dead Space 3: Building Futuristic Gun Simulator

 So the Dead Space Three demo came out yesterday, and while I was going to go into the co-op and how it works, I decided to talk about the "gun creation" the game has.

So you can launch a sort of "fun room" where you are stuck in a little corridor with nothing but a work bench, and a button that launches monsters at ya.

Now the game claims you can make 1,000's of customized guns throughout the singleplayer (or co-op) campaign. They ain't kidding.

For a solid hour and a half, I screwed with different mods, parts, and just plain bad combinations just to test out the functions.

Do you wanna shotgun that shoots flame shells, while have a rocket launcher under barrel that blows shit to smithereens? Go ahead!

Ya wanna Tesla coil that shoots arcs of pain that ricochet off of people, while having a needle gun to inject things with poison? Yep, shout hypochondriac jokes at them in the process too!

How about a flamethrower that has bottomless ammo clip and a freeze gun under barrel to go Mr. Freeze?

Did someone say "Barbeque?" Or, "Freeze, bitch!"

My personal favorite was a shotgun with a grenade launcher under barrel. The shells had the ability to freeze targets for a short period of time while my grenade launcher did the dirty work with bouncy flaming balls of doom.

Basically a deadly game of "Hot Potato." Except I only win.

I will give Visceral Games this, they came up with a great feature for a long-running series. I am a little worried about the game though:

In order to get blueprints for better guns, you need to pay real money to access them via micro-transactions. Needless to say Conquer59 looked up some comments to this, and some people were "not amused," put it politely.

Thankfully you can find parts to these weapons (and the badass combos) throughout the game anyways.

If you hook up with someone in co-op, be sure to put down ground rules on what and how you get/create your death machines.

Lest you wanna meet my Mr. Shotty and Mr. Hot Potato of Death. They would be more than pleased to let you know how they feel about paying real money to "cheat" in a game.
