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.

It's completely optional you would most likely have everything unlocked by the time the game ends regardless and micro transactions aren't bad unless they involve multiplayer. The only reason I can see them being bad is if you are irresponsible with your money and can't help but to buy them. 2. EA is known for this hence ME2, I'm sure you can play it with the 360 controller though. 3. Pretty much every game is doing this now and protesting about it isn't working so might as well get used to it. I'm just mad that as of now they don't have a season pass so at least you would get the first one for free and the DLC issue would be resolved.
