Necromorphology: What they didn't do?

Heya,

It's kind of sad to see potential game series trodden into mainstream run-of-the-mill execution with very little innovation. For once, I would have been grateful if the Dead Space series had gone through some kind of convergence itself, however EA, probably, decided the make it more appealing for the masses.

First of all, no new exciting enemy types. Unless you count enemies that shoot back at you. Secondly, the animations are more or less the same. I would have appreciated some new physics aside from rolling on the ground. I would've liked to throw live enemies with kinesis through sharp objects or into flames. Another thing to mention, what's with the crouching? There's no way you can sneak up to an enemy and silently finish them off.

I'm not gonna start with the ridiculous story with some odd relation schisms, but, hey, everything goes - Dead Space 3 is a decent game. But like I said: Expect no surprises.
