Dead space 1 was sublime (except for those fucking cannons), DS2 I also had a lot of fun with (I think it's great in its own may but more Aliens to Alien) but DS3 was so uninteresting to play that it damaged my opinion of 2 somewhat just from knowing what the "improvements" lead to

I know they're never likely picking up the franchise again, but I think they should totally ditch 2 and 3 if they ever return to it, or at least not make Isaac the focus of either. His story arc played out in DS1 and one of the cool things about DS is all the world building they did - there's more stories to explore outside of Isaac's and he would work better as a cameo/background character after DS1 where maybe we can see him recovering/taking certain actions from a distance. Like most things EA has touched, there's so many missed opportunities with the DS story and it really sucks that they're not gonna take any of them.
