History NightmareFuel / DeadSpace2

* At some point in the hospital you get stopped by Titan Station Security whom are trying to detain you on Director Tiedmann's orders. What stops you from getting used as a government labr at again? An necromorph in a vent right about the guards impales one of them and drags the poor bastard into the vent. This necromorph then kills him messily, indicated by the RIG Flatline and the cascade of blood coming from the vent. The guard's partner tries to check the vent to save his buddy or at very least kill the monster whom killed him and immediately gets impaled and dragged further into the vent to suffer the same fate.
** The worst part? This happens in over a span of seconds. In a span of seconds two fully trained men were snuffed out horribly and messily as indicated by the horrifically mutilated torso that used to be one of the guards that falls out of the vent. You never actually see the necromorph that does this either although what little of it saw resembled a Leaper.

** On the topic of that mother. It's very likely considering what the Marker has done to people before that she could of been hallucinating that the Crawler was her own baby (or it actually was her baby but she was getting hallucinations of how it looked before it was a necromorph). Just think about that for a second. The Marker can influence you enough to let your guard down long enough for Necromorphs kill you. For Isaac who has dealt with this before it's literally just another day but for the civilian survivors the Sprawl outbreak must of been completely and utterly horrifying endeavor that left many at the precipice of Marker induced insanity.

** 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.]] Subverted, [[spoiler: if you blow out the top of the elevator when you get in. That stops the thing from spawning.]] 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.]]

** Sometimes during that scene, look to the window and you'll see ships or escape pods flying away. Some don't make it past escape velocity, slamming into one another and exploding...

** The school itself was being affected by the Marker radiation for sometime. Reports of in-school violence were suddenly racking very suddenly and some kids were drawing pictures that look suspiciously like Slasher necromorphs

** The scary apart about this is just how ''fas''t the necromorphs respond to the power going off. Literally seconds after you turn the power off you hear blood-curdling roars in the distance as the horde or Slashers, Pukers, and Pregnants starts charging through the darkness as the Ubermorph slowly follows. To make matters worse it's likely that other necromorph types that you see later on in the facility attacked from other sides like the vents or other military barricades at the same exact moment. Later on you see Lurkers, Stalkers, Spitters, Crawlers, Infectors, Cysts, Nests, and a ''Brute''. This just shows you how scarily fast Necromorphs are at hunting in packs or hordes to kill and infect there targets. One facility full of trained soldiers just butchered in an instant

** The entire section is this, as beyond the "Exploding Face" scene, you enter the game proper. That's right; you are bound in a straight jacket and the Necromorphs are fully functional and can ''kill you'' if you don't stop running. Most people would expect a grace period or at least something to keep the enemies away. If you decide to stay and test this, the slashers would be more than happy to prove you wrong.

** Oh, and Isaac's ''still'' bound in his straightjacket the whole time!

** It gets worse. Isacc's health is so low that his RIG's in the yellow zone, so his running speed is labored. Never mind the fact that he's stuck in a straightjacket with no weapons, no helpful beacon to guide him, and howling undeath is literally ''inches'' behind him. Then he leaps through a malfunctioning door, only for one of the pursuing Necomorphs to grab his leg...

* One of the text logs in the school mentions how half of one class apparently has "imaginary friends", and claim it's a deceased loved one. Sound familiar?

** To just briefly explain the mechanics of this death scene....your essentially vomiting all of your insides out. Blood, organs, internal tissues all dissolved by corrosive acid. And the Puker just steps back to watch it's handiwork as it's waiting for you to die so it can drag your body away for an Infector to produce another Necromorph

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

** Something worth pointing out is that you most of the necromorphs that charge through this barricade are Slashers, Pukers, and Pregnants. Later on you see that Crawlers, Lurkers, Stalkers, Spitters and many other Necromorph types also got into the facility from the vents or other sides. Best not imagine how those researchers died....

** Lets not forget that this is also your first encounter with the Ubermorph, you open up the door so the necromorph 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!

** On the topic of that mother. It's very likely considering what the Marker has done to people before that she was hallucinating that the Crawler was her baby (or it actually was her baby but she was getting hallucinations of how it looked before it was a necromorph). Just think about that for a second. The Marker can influence to just let Necromorphs kill you. For Isaac who has dealt with the before it's literally just another day but for the civilians the Sprawl outbreak must of been completely and utterly horrifying

** Speaking of children, [[AdultFear 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 handwave the presence of babies as being brain-dead clones that are grown to replace lost limbs. This time, the first you see of the Lurkers and Crawlers are them pouring out of ''children stores and daycare centers.'' And then there's that nurse/mother who was either TooDumbToLive, or so far over the DespairEventHorizon that she thought nothing of beckoning an exploding necromorph baby into her arms...

*** Plus the encounter after you escape from the [[spoiler:[[ThrowbackLevel USG Ishimura]]]]. After crashing by means of an escape pod, Issac wakes up to see Nicole's transmission from the beginning of the game, played over a Marker, while Nicole hovers in front of it. The transmission jitters at "You made me stick with it…" before the Nicole apparition looks up with GlowingEyesOfDoom and ThroatLight, and screams four little words that confirm Issac's guilt:

** And that's the female variant. The male version in the lifts is guaranteed to scar you for life. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7ZhrDVKvmk Especially the ending.]]

-->'''Isaac:''' You're not really here...you can't hurt me...you are not real...you can't hurt me...

** Which leads to Isaac running through the psych ward that he woke up in. Necromorphs lunging out at you from every direction to cut off almost all avenues of escape, 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), the lights malfunctioning so you only get flashes of blood and body parts strewn everywhere. Oh, and during all this? Isacc's health is so low that his RIG's in the yellow zone, so his running speed is labored. Never mind the fact that he's stuck in a straightjacket with no weapons, no helpful beacon to guide him, and howling undeath is literally ''inches'' behind him. Then he leaps through a malfunctioning door, only for one of the pursuing Necomorphs to grab his leg...

** The worst part of all this? You are completely vulnerable in-game as well. Unlike similar situations from games like Bioshock, you are completely vulnerable to enemy attacks during this time and it's very possible to die within the first few seconds if you don't ''book it the hell out of there''.
* You then have to walk through a Necromorph filled room... While unarmed and in a straitjacket. Hope you can limp fast enough!
* Can you imagine what it would have been like to be that poor bastard strapped to that table when you get your first plasma cutter? You wake up on an operating table completely alone. There's some ... ''thing'' strapped to a table outside the operating room, flailing its claws and shrieking. And you're strapped to the goddamn table unable to do a damn thing to save yourself but scream and hope to god that someone comes.
** Not to mention that you're in the middle of what seems to be heart surgery
* Oh dear mother of god. On the USG Ishimura in VideoGame/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.
** There is a point in the beginning when you are passing living quarters. You hear from inside one of them the cries of a baby unattended, endlessly wailing as all the sound of chaos and death goes away. You go further and you hear a woman crying, crawling on the ground towards a gate that separates you from her. It looked like she was crawling to the crying baby which was probably hers. She eventually succumbs to her injuries the same time the baby's cries stop. It is not too far of a stretch to imagine women protectively clutching their babies as they set upon by necromorphs only to turn and rip their child apart. All there is in the Dead Space universe is death and the cold vastness that surrounds you.
*** Alternatively, the babies get killed and mutate and proceed to either disembowel their mothers with tentacles or explode.
** Sometimes during that scene, look to the window and you'll see ships or escape pods flying away. Some don't make it past escape velocity...
* You see a tricycle; you think nothing of it. You go further, into laundry washers. You see one washer shaking violently. You hear a ''baby'' bawling from the inside. ''That'' was the most disturbing part.
** No, ''this'' is the most disturbing part: YOU CAN'T BREAK THE WASHER OPEN TO GET THE BABY OUT!
*** Any human infant would have been beaten into unconsciousness within a few seconds of being inside the washer. You really don't want to open it.
** 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...
* 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...

** Then add to that running through the psych ward Isaac 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...
** 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.]]
** [[spoiler:"Isaac..." (thousand-yard stare at Isaac) "We're all gonna ''burn'' for what we did to you." (slits own throat)]]

** Want to know something even better about that Tripod? Look at it's top tentacle that eventually deep throats you. A baby is attached.
