Not as bad as alleged is!

Many complain because of the high action content. Yes, there come more and faster opponents, and the gameplay is faster overall, but that makes it not at some cheap, unpretentious garbage like. Resi 6 Dead Space 3 is still an extremely cool sci-fi horror shooter especially in the Coop (now Free Online Pass required) much fun. I think it's even good that it is designed more for action, because this mysterious has nevertheless become worn. We know with whom and what one has to do it, and Isaac is struggling even now already a couple of years against the Necromorphs. Would it become just like Part 1, it would have been bored.
So much for the supposedly bad action.

Other positive changes:

1.Universal ammunition
There are now universal ammunition that is used for all weapons. I find very good, because thus the RIG inventory no longer with what I know how many unnecessary Muni varieties is trashed.

2. The crafting system
You can now collect mentioned -selbstständig or with a "Sucherbot" Robot commodities such as Somat Gel, tungsten or scrap metal in order to upgrade or to buy items that RIG or weapons. Initially, very unclear and confusing. But if you have only once the hang of it makes it a lot of fun. Because you can be the weapon to cobble together a completely individual.
It works like this:
There are two types of frames: the heavy and compact. From the first one makes heavy handed weapons like the Pulse Rifle, light from the latter handed weapons like the classic Plasma Cutter. At each weapon can be two modules, two peaks and two extensions attach.
So you can from a

Heavy Standard frames
Upper tool: Military Drive
Upper tool tip: Repetierer
Bottom tool: monitoring charge
Lower tool tip: Directional levitation field
Expansion 1: Safety
Extension 2: stasis coating

build a Pulse Rifle with rocket launchers, with which one can hurt themselves and do not slow down enemies with each shot. There are a bunch of other cool combinations, but this is one of my favorites. But since you have thereby 2in1 weapons there are only 2 instead of the usual 4 weapon slots.
Also still there boards with which one can increase damage, rate of fire, magazine size and Nachladetempo.
From his favorite weapons also can then create plans and send co-partners.

3. In addition to missions
There are some optional side missions through which one learns the background information on the story and get rare items. Three of these missions but are possible only in the Coop.

4. Coop
The unnecessary Multiplayer from Part 2 was replaced by a much more meaningful Coop mode, through which one can now play the campaign and side missions for two.

5. Human opponents
You fight in some places in the game now also against people Unitologen more precisely. And not only that: You can actually cut up just like the Necromorphs, which is very surprising because I looked so far as the only reason why the first 2 parts were not indicated me the lack Human opponents.

6. New levels of difficulty
In Dead Space 3, there are 4 game modes for each savegame file is required.
The standard mode with the degrees of difficulty
Easy, Normal, Hard and Impossible.
Only survive where neither Medipacks still Stasepacks still can find ammunition and have to create everything yourself at the bank.
Classic gameplay where supposedly somehow part 1 should be similar to them but I have not noticed anything. In addition, the crafting system is disabled as the Coop. This means you can only weapons according to the plans to build dictate the developers. Therefore, this was by far the most difficult mode for me. But worth it, because then turns to the devil horns free to kill as in Part 2 with a shot and have infinite Muni ^^
The last mode is hardcore and you must start all over again when you die even a single again. But you can cheat by the savegame you regularly copied to a USB stick.

Now for the negatives:

. 1
The micro-transactions are an incredibly brazen rip-off. EA wants 5 thus have the bots gather 50% faster or find 50% more raw materials. Or even more ridiculous: 5 so that they cease any spells. Then you can still get 3-5 for various weapons and suit packs, which suits only the optics used for the upgrades remain the same suit changing ...
And the Resource Packs with prices ranging from 1-3 offer not nearly as much would justify the price, especially since it has collected with a little patience enough in-game currency to bring them so. It's not like the game would be incomplete and these extras one would buy, but still these are just stupid prices and I wonder who thinks it to have to spend money. Would I buy me alone the three upgrades for the bots I would have paid more than for the entire game. I am not opposed in principle to DLC's and micro-transactions, but something must really not be.

. 2
I would have liked that it also would be a split screen mode at Coop. Not everyone has to play a Playsi or the opportunity via LAN. Today Why does every game an MP even though he is still unnecessary, but hardly any of a split-screen function?

Conclusion:
I can only every sci-fi horror fan and generally recommend any of the exciting action and thrilling atmosphere like. Fans should not see the part with the action so close and instead focus on the story.

UPDATE:
Write to the DLC "Awakened":

I have not now time to buy the story DLC "Awakened". Unfortunately, there is as before "Severed" in part 2, to 90% from backtracking, so the cross old areas of the main game in reverse order. A bit of backtracking may indeed be quite interesting, but if the only new area is the cave in which you wake up, and you have already left in 2 minutes, I think it's very boring and uncreative. Especially you realize that it is pure money making. At the story unfortunately is nothing interesting or exciting until the end that gives an outlook for the fourth part. If I remember correctly, the duration was given as 2 hours I think I have not even used a half ...
All in all, not worth 10. Not more than 5 if things get reduced.
