You said “Never “rock and roll” (fire constantly) … count how much ammo at regular intervals … take your time in between shots” and I’d say that not firing constantly, watching your ammo and aiming are basic tips.

About your comment … only use the plasma cutter, do not go for melee attacks … and I don’t I agree with those. The plasma cutter is a great weapon because it does the job for many opponents, plus the ammo is more plentiful for them. But IMO the Line Cutter is a very important weapon to carry. Its wider beam allows for more kills per shot – one shot can be 2-3 kills, and in rarer cases up to 4 or 5. Plus in situations where missing a fast target will end badly for Isaac the Plasma gun isn’t always the best choice. On the subject of melee attacks I used them mostly in “safer” places where using them would save ammo and not result in Isaac getting killed, and in other cases they allowed me to finish a reload at close quarters.

I didn’t put together any advanced tips on Dead Space because I moved on to another game, so I ended up with only basic Dead Space tips.

I’m sure playing through on Hard difficulty was really a kick to play!
