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.

What about the fact that its plot is laughably stupid? The ending was leaked and its terrible. [spoiler]Turns out the Necromorphs were just defending themselves from the "evil human" mining corporations. The final boss is THE MOON which turns out is a giant Necromorph head. You fight this enemy IN SPACE WITH NO HELMET ON You defeat it by shooting Markers at its eyeballs. After its dead you push a button which blows EVERYTHING up, Isaac, the MOON, the other guy, everything. Isaac dies in the cold of space but whispers something after the credits ("real ending" DLC coming out in 2 weeks u guys!)[/spoiler]
