Can You Beat DEAD SPACE 2023 With Only a Flamethrower?

FIRED UP FOR WORK.
BUT PLAY WITH FIRE AND YOU'LL GET BURNED.
I know we did this in the original 2008 version, but with brand new graphics, sidequests, and weapon mechanics, I think it's a question worth asking. The remake is not a remaster, after all, and everything is wildly different.
Can you beat Dead Space 2023 (the Dead Space Remake) with only a flamethrower?

If you're after more challenge run ideas, here's one I'd love to see: can you beat Dark Souls 2 left handed? Rules: you can only use weapons designed to be used in the left hand, including parrying daggers, the special sword with the improved left hand moveset, the torch, and shields. You can only use weapons in the left hand, with the exception of shields, which must be used in the right hand. Aside from that, the usual rules of "no exploits or cheats," "beat all bosses possible," etc.

technically, this run can have the Flamethrower accessed from the very first Store if you play on New Game+, and if you can make it to the beginning of NG+ without upgrading to a new suit or using any power nodes, you could actually have a significantly harder version of this Challenge thanks to the Phantom Necromorphs!

@nssheepster 10 ай бұрын

@@zombieslayer2016 Yeah, immunities and straight breaking weapons is just bad design choice IMO. I can 100% agree with resistances, even really heavy resistances, but pure immunities to a damage or weapon type, that's just telling the player they aren't allowed to use the tools you gave them, and that's not kosher.

@LilyMaeBlossom 10 ай бұрын

@@nssheepster That's nothing to do with the bosses or what the game intends, in this instance it's to do with how the flamethrower is coded. The flamethrower itself is not considered a weapon, but rather an output that just spawns fire in certain directions. The secondary attack was originally coded as a projectile, making the flamethrower a weapon and thus being able to trigger the hit registry, but in this game it's just another spawn point for fire. It's an oversight moreso, not so much a design choice, as this was able to be used through the entire game (from getting it at least) before the remake to my knowledge.

@calebbarnhouse496 10 ай бұрын

I can't agree with that, it limits desighn, imagine if in metal gear solid 5 when you are in a sniper battle with quite instead of using a sniper rifle, it was just as viable to take an LMG and spray at her, parts of a game being incomparable with part of your toolkit is necessary for those parts to stay interesting and not just be auto completes, having said that arbitrary immunities are also not fun, in most cases, the fire boss in mg5 is another good example, because he was outright immune to bullets, he basically was just a waiting puzzle with a ranged attack and you have to look for the spots to wait for him to get to, however if he just took damage he'd be a bullet sponge

I do believe that the Hive Mind's 1st and 2nd phases can be done exclusively using TK, but the amount of precision you would need is absolutely absurd. You would need to bring the proper objects into the fight to be thrown, and get lucky enough to not only hit your targets, but also pick up the objects before they fall into the chasm below. I know this is possible because I tried fighting the Hive Mind with the Flamethrower before even attempting a Flamethrower only run, and you can actually destroy parts of the Hive Mind using TK only, though it is extremely difficult. The only thing that CANNOT be destroyed using TK is the 3rd and final phase, the grapple phase. You cannot pick up any objects with TK as there is nothing within your line of sight during this section. Your only option during phase three is to use the Flamethrower itself to damage the final node, which I did not think to test. I'm probably never going to attempt a full Flamethrower only run because of the Hive Mind, but maybe somebody will give it a shot some day...
