I'm sorry? What was that? I couldn't hear you?

 

[NLB2]

Does the audience of Metropolitan Opera spontaneously combust in the intro to Katamari Damacy? Huh? I didn't think so!

:lol

Yeah that intro was pretty crazy! But the rat mutation that followed the intro was just batshit insane!

Does the audience in the Metropolitan Opera House get up and begin to dance alongside flying elephants and psychadelic mushrooms while some geese sing a hilarious japanese-esque melody about clumpsouls?

Yeah, I just got to that part. Too bad the rats suck at fighting. So easy to dodge their fire balls. And poor juggler guy - he screamed like a little girly :lol

I will. I'm getting a serious REII vibe from PE, and that's a good thing. I just hope some of the monsters put up more of a challenge then the mutant rats.

Yeah, PE2 doesn't play like PEI, it plays like a RE title! Also it has some of the best graphics on PSX!

Parasire Eve II was cool. I was glad they got rid of the turn based, grid battle system, but the part where you have to kill all the bull looking creatures after leaving the motel/gas station was fucked up and hard.

 

[NLB2]

So does Parasite Eve II sort of play like Seiken Denetsu?

 

[Prince of Space]

Avoid PE2. Like the plauge.

 

[NLB2]

Why?

 

[Prince of Space]

It takes everything that was great about PE1 (custom weapons, the battles, the music, the bosses, etc.), and dumps it in favor of an RE-clone formula.

 

[JayFro]

I loved PE1 on PS1, I remember playing that in college (1999) and the intro to that game is just insanely tight. I never did get around to playing PE2 though, some love it others hate but I still haven't played it. I still hope for a PE3 though.

 

[Teddman]

I remember a couple years ago (around the announcement of FF: Crystal Chronicle) there were rumor of a PE sequel on GameCube. Oh well.

Don't listen to the man.

PE2 has the single scariest moment in a video game ever.

Dilapalated House?
Sounds dangerous :lol

PE has alotta style, but unfortunately the game iz unbarably slow. Never gone back to play the game after trying it out again in 2003.

The game could also use some voice-acting. It feels like a silent-film throughout.

That last boss iz a bitch. Watch out for the one-hit death thing in the final segment of the game.

Yeah, the game is a lot better if you play it in such a way that you can bump the frame rate up to about three hundred fps. Makes everything go a lot quicker .

PE is one of my favoriate games ever. It was the first adventure(used to only play RPG's and mutiplayer games) title I played, if it wasn't for this game I wouldn't be playing RE,SH now. It got me into the whole survival horror type games.

 

[Brandon F]

The combat in PE had a lot of things going for it. Many of the bosses had some pretty nice bulletsprays and beams to dodge which seem lifted out of something like Neo Contra or Red Star. Upgrading guns and weaponry also very cool.

Shame about the game's slow pacing and Aya's running speed though. I'd always loved to have seen a proper sequel, Vagrant Story is likely the closest we got, which by itself is pretty class.

 

[Diomedeskun]

I love both 1 and 2. 1 is an RPG with survival horror style, while 2 is survival horror with heavy RPG elements.

Part 1 felt much more Japanese in many ways, which is interesting since it was made by a mostly american team, while part 2 was actually made in Japan.

I loved visiting the real locations, especially the Museum of Natural History in part 1, which I have wanted to visit since I read through my older sisters' books about it when I was little.

I prefer part 1's style overall, but part 2 was a little more balanced and played much more quickly. It was not as bizarre as part 1, but the complex was pretty creepy and the branching storyline was cool. I still want to unlock the gunblade. I wish that it didn't take so much time to unlock everything in the game.

I've liked both games for quite some time, and gone at length about it in various guises throughout the net. Don't have time to repeat it yet again right now. Or not fully... Try out both games if you haven't: PE1 like a modern-day VS-lite with guns, and PE2 a surprisingly excellent game that feels somewhat like a union of Dino Crisis 2 and RE2. Both with the full-on/ damn-the-cost Square production values of the PS1 era.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

A Parasite Eve sequel/remake using the RE4 engine would be tight.

This is a joke, right?
