People like Tharja. That might have more to do with her butt, though.

I hated Parasite Eve. Got it day one cuz it was a Squaresoft joint and played and beat the first one. I used to beat every game I bought when I was younger. Didn't enjoy it. Didn't bother with the sequel. Never understood why it's so beloved.

I bought it for like a dollar and thought it was really neat. Then I got to the annoying sewer part and stopped playing.

I put off listening to the best moment or squence portion of game of the year until now because I didn't want to hear spoilers on a couple games. But every single one of Jeff's comments on Inside are horrendous. Geez.

Yeeeah, but Brad oversold that game so much that it kind of balanced out for me.

I'd say yes. I loved PE1 at the time but I don't know how well it's aged, particularly the writing. It's still a very unique (horror JRPG set in NYC where you play as a female cop) and interesting game. Superb soundtrack too. PE2 is more of a Resident Evil type game. It never clicked with me like the first one did but it has its fans.

I've been playing the game the past few days and the writing itself doesn't really hold up. The overall story itself is fine, but the real joy comes with the setting, basic premise, and the soundtrack. Some people don't like it, but I like the combat system as well. Younger me was completely blown away by the game because of it's science fiction/horror slant and it was ATB combat but you could move around the fighting space freely.

I agree it's worth checking out. I'd like to play the second game again as I never finished it either and I love RE2. I will say it hasn't aged well graphically either...which I know puts people off of some games.
 
I have two distinct memories about the Parasite Eve franchise:

1.) The first time my parents ever caught me looking for porn was when "parasite eve pornography" popped up in the search history.
2.) For whatever reason, the woman's screams in this part of PE2 scared me so much that I had to play with the television muted.
 
True. But the witness environmental puzzles garnered basically no reaction from me and I didn't even notice the Doom gun cock.

Oh totally, Inside had the best moment of those three for me. I think I was reeling from both Titanfall moments being eliminated that I just didn't feel like I had a horse in the race anymore.

The "first time" you were caught?

The Inside reveal wasn't even stupid. It wasn't a lightbulb moment. It was just like 'oh here's a dumb twist' it did absolutely nothing for me.

That search netted some interesting/weird fan art. At least it's better than anything you'd get from sonic fans.

That search term is hilariously specific

usually its like "parasite eve hot" or something

Early days of the internet. Searching for "sex" or "porn" was a right of passage. So was clearing cookies and search info.

I should replay Portal 2 someday... I only did the campaign once and really loved it.


Also, funny story, I did the coop campaign only once but I had a fucking TERRIBLE tooth ache that day so I barely remember anything lol.

I replayed a bit last year. It still holds up, other than the engine and loading times.

I played the co-op on my PC with my mate on his PS3. Worked fucking perfectly, which was kind of amazing.

Okay, that little fucking shoulder sashay Dan does at the end of This is the Run part 5 proves he is the most self-aware guy on the planet.

Yeah, PS3 did some neat things. Portal 2 had PC cross-play. UTIII had PC mods that worked with the game. Cool things can happen when a console is backed against the wall. I'm not sure if you can even do the Portal 2 cross-play anymore, though. I think they removed the ability to link a Steam account to a PSN one, which was required for that to work.
