For those who are interested in getting Dead Space 3, you may want to consider the following three things:
1. It will include microtransactions.

2. It isn't optimized for PC.

3. DLC has already been announced, despite the fact that the game hasn't even hit stores yet.

To sum it up, I wouldn't recommend buying this game (if you actually care about what I recommend). No game with a $60 price tag should include microtransactions, and no developer should make plans for their games DLC before the game even comes out. Not to mention the fact that PC gamers are getting completely ripped off because the developer is to lazy to make a good PC port. In the interest of fairness? Really?
Hopefully the VicseralGames/EA realize their mistake and decide to fix the PC port, put the DLC planned into the original game, and drop the microtransactions. Of course, this probably won't happen.

1. The microtransactions aren't by any means forced upon you, and they were totally blown out of proportion. 2. The said that just because it isn't optimized doesn't mean it won't run smoother and look nicer. Not that I'll play it on my PC anyways. 3. So what, a lot of games do this nowadays, at least it's not day one DLC.
