History NightmareFuel / DeadSpace2

-->'''Nicole:''' [[spoiler: You tried to kill yourself, Isaac. [[PunctuatedWithEmphasis Why. Do you think. That is?]]]]

*** The don't kill you, they rip off your arm then knock you out.

* The worst death animation in Franchise/DeadSpace, even though it doesn't seem that bad? [[spoiler: When Isaac goes insane, and the phantom Nicole grabs you. First, she grabs Isaac with lots of force, and her face glows and becomes distorted, as she makes this dreadful, screeching, howling noise. After you pan out ALL THE WAY from Isaac's brain, he looks interested at his Javelin Gun...and shoots himself in the head with it. Oh, but not before you can see his fractured jaw and gored-out eyes as he falls to the ground. Don't forget that Isaac is now one of them. Oh, and Issac didn't kill himself immediately - the harpoon missed most of his brain, so he's got some hours of agonizing pain to go before he expires.]]

* The Tormentor may count. You escape from a hostile gunship's fire by dropping through a hatch in the floor, and no sooner do you pick yourself back up then a HUGE Necromorph with massive arms and a mouth filled with giant fangs crawls up and lets out a roar so loud you can practically ''see'' it in your face. Part of the ceiling collapses on you, and you have to react quickly to blast its shoulder before it can yank you out and bite you in half. A few more shootings later, and the gunship comes back, blasting the windows and sending both you and the Tormentor out into open space, the both of you clinging to the gunship. It slams you around some more, and you have to shoot the floating-away explosive tanks before the huge beast can pull you in and bisect you. The fight may not be too hard so long as you've got good aim and timing, but one must admit that the Tormentor's sheer size and out-of-nowhere appearance make it a very frightening foe.

* You can go through air vents in this game. Your first time using one you turn a corner and OH MY GOD A FRICKING NECROMORPH!!!!! Then in one chapter (sorry forgot which one) you come out of a vent and OMG NICOLE'S TRYING TO STAB ME WITH A NEEDLE!! It gets worse when [[spoiler: You come out of the hallucination you see yourself trying to stab your own eye.]]

* The several apartments that people are trapped in. You hear a woman pounding on the door before suddenly beginning to shriek hysterically before apparently being killed, then you hear a man screaming "They're coming through the walls!" at someone before there's a roar and more screaming. Then you hear a little baby crying...just crying, and it never stops...
** It gets worse, you see a crying woman die of her wounds after crawling towards the crying baby.

* After the first meeting with Nicole in the elevator, it's NOT fine that there are always ceiling holes in them, people. Then, you're ambling through some plot points, seeing new places, and you take a breather in an elevator. HAHA JUST KIDDING--

* In Chapter 13, right after entering the secure zone of the government compound, you have to circumvent the barricade set up by Tiedemann's soldiers, ending up in a secure room overlooking the barricade. How to get past them? Take out the battery for the barricade room, which plunges the soldiers into complete darkness...but also powers down the barriers keeping the compound secure. You then have what's tantamount to a balcony seat as a ''horde'' of Necromorphs - dozens upon DOZENS - charge at the barricade. It's quite horrific to see trained soldiers fire frantically into the oncoming wave of flesh, mere seconds before you can see their blood splatter the room. Their cries blank out one-by-one, and the sound of pulse rifles fades...as does the sound of the Necromorphs, who you can now hear moving deeper into the compound. [[OhCrap Which you must now go into.]] Not helped by the fact that you [[CruelityIsTheOnlyOption just sentenced 200 armed soldiers to death]] as well as dozens of scientists and researchers.

[[OhCrap Which you must now go into.]]

** Especially what happens in the [[spoiler:Church of Unitology when a necromorph busts in through the top of the elevator as it is moving, only inches away from you. Of course, the proper response from someone familiar with this sort of thing is stasis, blow off an arm then shoot it back into its face, piddle self and never trust elevators again.]] Then after that, when you have progressed out of there and are on a new heading for hope, you go through a cool zero-g area with fires, showing how the developers did their homework. Again [[spoiler:another horror elevator though this time there is a puker already in it. The elevator takes enough time that you will check to make sure nothing sneaks up on you and probably open with your back to it. Again, stasis, shoot of limbs, piddle self and resume.]]
** The worst part of the above? [[spoiler: There's no indication it's in there. No musical sting, no battle cry from the puker as it charges you, and it's facing the door as it opens, as if it was waiting for you.]]

** And the guy who turns into a Necromorph... there's two horrifying things: [[spoiler: One, the guy is obviously in pain when the sycthes come out of his shoulders, suggesting not only was he alive during the transformation, infectors can now assimilate ''living things''.]] Secondly, [[spoiler: The victim is Franco, the main character from Dead Space ignition.]]

*** TEARJERKER.

** No, ''this'' is the most disturbing part: YOU CAN'T BREAK THE WASHER OPEN TO GET THE BABY OUT! Seriously, this troper tried shooting it and using melee attacks. They didn't work.
* There is one part where you find a washing machine unit that apparently has a small child in it given by how it was jumping around and screaming.

* Hell, this whole universe is scary, even before the Necromorphs showed up. Okay, you've got a cult that extorts its members for money, organizes ''mass suicides'', and is the dominant religion. [[NoOSHACompliance The OSHA]] must have been dissolved centuries ago, because of the abundance of malfunctioning doors that can sever limbs, and space-mining being so dangerous that the Ishimura has an entire deck dedicated to growing replacement limbs. If you check the manual for the Seeker Rifle, you see it's meant for "Riot Suppresion". The authorities endorse using a weapon that can blow heads clean off against ''upset civilians''.

** The whole sequence is disturbingly reminiscent of a scene in Film/{{The Cabin in the Woods}} . If you've seen it before playing Dead Space 2, it'll make you laugh at a very inappropriate time.

** Lets not forget that this is also your first encounter with the Ubermorph, you open up the door so the necromorphd can kill the soldiers, but you look and you see it, and you know you're gonna fight it. But it's not scary until you figure YOU CAN'T KILL IT!

** Then add to that running through the psych ward Issac is in. Necromorphs lunging out at you, frightened patients trapped in their cells, some simply staring without understanding what is going on, others screaming in terror as they see death just on the other side of that glass. During this time, you are at yellow health so run with some labor, stuck in a straight jacket with no help telling you where to go and then one catches you...

** While Issac travels through the ''Ishimura'' for the second time, raise your TV's volume up so you can clearly hear the ambiance of the air vents and everything else. When you go through those tunnels, when it's nice and quiet and you think everything is okay... You hear Nicole whispering "Issac..." "Where are you going, Issac..?" "Make us whole again, Issac.." UGH! The whispering was just insane. As if she is going to jump out and attack you in the next few seconds...

* Entering the catacombs, after passing a funeral section in the unitology area of the game, you pass through here, each bit of ice has the possibility of a necromorph popping out to rip you to shreds. Then it gets more freaky once Issac's mind goes crazy and starts seeing wailing corpses inside their frozen coffins, no limbs to speak of and no way to get out...

** Just entering the Ishimura AGAIN. Simply going around the ship is like a horrible trip down memory lane, right down to [[spoiler: hallucinations of the tentacles grabbing you]]. And you thought the first time around was hell...

* Speaking of children, and for you parents out there, the existence of Lurkers, Crawlers and Packs in this game. At least the last game had the decency to hand wave it as babies that are grown to replace lost limbs. This time the first you see of them is freaking pouring out of Children Stores and Daycares. And then there's that nurse/mother who was too dumb to live...
* On the ''Ishimura'' you end up on the medical deck where they've been using a black light to help clean the place up. Naturally that causes a mass of old bloodstains and crazy marker writing to show up. Nothing you haven't seen before however, so you move on. Later though, you notice that you're leaving glowing footprints...which means that not only is this blood fresh, but you've also been walking through giant pools of the stuff.
** Those prints were there from the beginning, implied to be Isaac's footprints from the first game.

* The second Nicole encounter. After you leave the medical deck and get on the elevator, the lights suddenly go out. You then see the light that shines from Illusion!Nicole's eyes and mouth, as she creepily sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" before lunging at Isaac and shrieking "MAKE US WHOLE!"

* The Tormentor may count. You escape from a hostile gunship's fire by dropping through a hatch in the floor, and no sooner do you pick yourself back up then a HUGE Necromorph with massive arms and a mouth filled with giant fangs crawls up and lets out a deafening roar in your face. Part of the ceiling collapses on you, and you have to react quickly to blast its shoulder before it can yank you out and bite you in half. A few more shootings later, and the gunship comes back, blasting the windows and sending both you and the Tormentor out into open space, the both of you clinging to the gunship.

* The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m0YAKn4FJ4&feature=player_embedded Tripod's death scene.]]
** The tripod death scene. Compared to the original and the iPhone {{Interquel}}, ''VideoGame/DeadSpace2'' has truly cranked the {{Gorn}} level UpToEleven.

** Oh, And the directory's background music slowly changes from a variety of typical mall music into a disturbing blend of a slurred version and static...

* Oh dear mother of god. On the USG Ishimura in DeadSpace, you came across the Necromorph infestation after it had consumed everyone and left the ship deathly quiet. This time, you're right at the beginning, and you open a door to be flooded with the chaotic noise of thousands of screaming, terrified civilians trying to escape while being butchered alive. You walk past apartment rooms to hear people being murdered inside. You see people abandon their loved ones to certain death so they can escape. And there's nothing you can do to save them all.
