It's crazy how these localizers think being verbose is better than being direct - unless of course, the GBNA is a pure, direct translation. Is it?
>>
>>12310087
That was one of my biggest issues with FFT. The original translation was butchered a lot of the time, but it was very concise, fitting of dialog in the middle of a battlefield. WotL felt more like a dramatization written for an acting class, and even the remaster is a bit more verbose than it should be, but it at least trims the fat compared to WotL.

SNES changed friend to mama, and ruined the clever writing. Shadow couldn't kill his friend, as we see in the flashbacks.

Its supposed to absorb magic attacks, but sometimes the boss just delays his attack and Celes outspeeds it.
On that boss there's a thunder rod you can find in that cave, use it as an item during the fight and it one shots the boss.

I hate DC1 for the following reasons:
1. It doesn't do anything with its ambitious concept, taking place in samey, sterile lab corridors with the dinosaurs just tacked on. They could have been any kind of animalistic monster and it wouldn't have made a difference
2. 90% of the enemies you encounter are just Velociraptors, over and over and over again. Game should be called Raptor Crisis.
3. The inventory and UI system is unintuitive and needlesly complicated with item bloat galore. I assume there is a reason you have no concrete health indicator and that every action you can do in the inventory is devided into a gorillion sub menus.
4. The game is like 50% cutscenes, especially in the first half. Take two steps - cutscene, open a door - cutscene, turn around - cutscene. On and on, it's like a proto Snoy exclusive game.
5. Combat sucks and gets old very quickly due to the very limited enemy roster.
6. While puzzles are great there's just too much of them and they follow the same theme of needless overcomplication like the UI and inventory system
All in all, it's a very lackluster game with some serious design flaws. It's no "hidden gem" as zoomers like yap about these days. I'm convinced that the people who say it's a masterpiece haven't played in since it came out and only have a vague memory of it being "resident evil with dinosaurs", which sounds cool but the game doesn't deliver.

You could tell DINO CRISIS was made by the RE1/RE2 B TEAM
>>
>>12308879
No. It was made by RE3 team, which is why they share similar gameplay, and DC demo came RE3 discs. RE3 has several references to Dino Crisis too
>>
I really didn’t like this game as a kid. I loved RE and loved Jurassic park yet this game didn’t quite click for me in the way an RE game did. If I remember it’s much harder. And the raptors get introduced when you only have the pistol iirc. In RE 1 & 3 you have at least the grenade launcher & shotgun, if not the magnum to dispatch them quickly.

And re3 did have hunters that could poison you, they were reddish /purple
>>
>>12307072
It really does feel like ocarina of time when it comes to the cutscenes constantly interrupting you every few steps. That is one major issue with the game i admit

Has there ever been another game that become super-popular so late into its console's lifespan?

The GB was nearly 10 years old when it got released for it and it had been underpowered and weak since 1990/1991.

Compared to hardware that didn't have a fraction of the market share? That doesn't mean its underpowered, it means the other hardware was overpowered. And I love my Game Gear.

I wish 3 onwards had some sort of equivalent to the VR missions of 1 and 2. Something that really pushes you to use all of the gameplay mechanics. At least TPP being a sandbox gives you scope to fuck around.

I disagree desu. 2 and 3 aren't perfect but when you're in the grove they're smooth enough, 4 seems completely fine, don't know why you'd find it clunky specifically, being not as refined as mgsv doesn't equal clunky.

video game genres are all bullshit. I'm sure you already knew that, how many times have you seen a game advertised as "adventure" or "action", fucking useless. this game is evidence that even very specific genres like "shoot-em-ups" are actually a hodgepodge of different types of games. the problem is that genres are defined by some surface level aspect, such as "an autoscroller where you control a character and shoot waves of enemies", not ever considering the core intentions of the game design, which could be "memorizing patterns, shooting and dodging in a 2d plane" or "idk watching all the explosions while wildly flailing around and then you get to buy some wacky new gun with the money you collected"

this game has more in common with those old "desktop destroyer" stress relief "games" than with other "shmups"

TOP KEK

I do have a PS1-2-P-PC for them but I always like to have so sort of backup in case any of the former fail.
I do have the slim one and the mods that are supposedly needed to run them but PS2&P games do not run and some PS1 games do but not all.
Does anyone have experience with playing those systems on their PS3?
