Which DLC's are worth getting?

[MikeOxbig]

Im going to buy the Awakened one just because i played it on my Orgin version and enjoyed it, but what about the other ones? Which suits and weapons are worth it? and the bot upgrade ones and such? Thanks everyone.
And what about the Tau Volantis Survival Kit?

Well the suits are just cosmetic so "worth" is subjective. As for the weapons and bot upgrades, you can build better weapons fairly easily and bot upgrades are unnecessary since later in the game resources and supplies are so easy to get.

Was supposed to be a dead space 4 but they didn't ever finish prototyping it let alone getting a playable demo out, EA pieced out/dismantled the Visceral Games studio effectively ruining the potential for future installments. Me personally you don't need any of the DLC except for the Awakened which was ment to be a prologue to dead space 4 (but ended up being more of the ending more than anything). The DLC only adds in cosmetics for suits that have zero status effects like in dead space 2.

The weapons on the other hand you yourself can rebuild once you figure out the weapon combinations for the weapons. Just a general fyi, they are horribly underpowered far in comparison to what you can cook up yourself with the crafting system.

Edit: No reason to buy the bot upgrade, you can easily enable the 5 bot scavenger settings on a per save basis using save editor or cheat engine to mod in the 5 (all it is is one variable that enables or disables the "5 bot limit" tick)

Me personally i rebought all the content to support the devs since some portion of the proceeds do go to the devs. But at the same time, EA games Kinda screwed the devs and ruined the chance for a DS4 installment so... do with what i told you as you will.

Edit: You can also make dummy Dead space 2 save file (same folder structure and empty text or container file with .sav at the end) and same with the Bioware Mass effect 3 save) to unlock the N7 suit, and Planet Cracker content.

Awakening is the only one as it's the epilogue DLC. It's basically the ending for the entire series.

No, it's not.

The DLC ends in yet another cliffhanger, which will never be resolved because EA is unwilling to make a proper conclusion (especially since it dissolved/closed down its developers).

The entire point of the series was to stop the moons/demons/whatever they were from getting to Earth, and Awakening ends with them arriving on Earth and feeding on it.That wasn't a cliffhanger. Isaac and co. lost.

^ Just fyi OP, don't click on that or you'll have the ending spoiled.

If the series was meant to end that way, then it'd be understandable.

But, as seen here:

This series was cut short, thanks to EA.

Ok.
I loved Dead Space 1&2 but I held out on 3 because...well..I heard it wasn't dead space anymore.
Now I bought it for cheap and was wondering if the suits broke the game like in DS2. It doesn't so I guess I'll buy them. Thanks.

Suits are cosmetic only, weapon dlcs are pointless and were just "perks". You can technically recreate any weapon with out the dlc, only thing your getting with dlc is cosmetic suit adjustments (you can easily download mods for these suits as well), dlc weapons only have names and "unique" traits that are heavily underpowered except in normal/casual mode which at that point your a walking god anyway with literally any weapon.

Dead space 3 is dead space but what took away from the feel of ds1 and ds2 was the multiplayer, and your character doesn't have mini fits as well as the spawn rates aren't brutal (except in certain points). Dead space 1 had tons of random spawns that it didn't matter where you were, enemies would still spawn in at random timed intervals from any vent/hole on the USG Ishimura.

Dead space 2 lessoned it and didn't have infinite spawning like DS1 so.. yeah.

DS3 has set spawns always the same (enemies just get health buffs except in hard/impossible where they seem to be more... spuratic and challenging due to forced constraint situations). Its also when played in multiplayer less "Spooky" because you can talk to the other player and have the sense of not being alone, one of those major perks in ds 1 and 2 in campaign mode.

If you play as player 2 in dead space 3 it lives up to its prior series in the spook factor, to a degree. Less tension altogether due to not having a sense of being alone. Also worth mentioning dead space 3 isn't as fun with out playing in pure survival mode, because there doesn't feel or seem to be a challenge. At least to me that is how i felt. First time playing it though, it was a fun run through. I suggest playing it on hard difficulty or impossible for a challenge (first play through that is). Its the only way to really get that sense of "well im fked" sorta ordeal and a uphill battle single or multiplayer wise.

Guys I've beaten the game and Awakening several times on Orgin lol So i know the ending and such. Ijust rebought it on Steam now and was wondering if any of the suit/weapon DLC's are worth it.
