I'm playing it rn, and as far as I can tell, it's just a typical 2000s animu meets a typical 2000s JRPG. I don't think it's taking itself too seriously, but maybe that's because I can't imagine anyone or anything taking it that seriously, but I don't think it's actively bad.

(Never played Xenogears, but that game has the most pretentious fanbase on this entire board, second maybe only to the OoT faggots, but it has to be better than OoT.)

More like Doodoo Guy

Bad marketing aside (generic name, generic characters, and key art that makes it look like a sci fi horror game) this is really fun.

Explore free roaming mid-sized cities, climbing on buildings and jumping from rooftop to rooftop, arrest some bad guys, kill some others, find sidequests and hidden bonuses; plus the occasional driving mission.

I'm getting filtered by the sudden difficulty spike in the auto destruct mission, the one that starts with two car bombs you have to drive to safety. The problem is all the thugs you have to handle after that with little healing to be found in the level. I'm currently replaying older levels to grind and increase my stats to give myself a fighting chance, thankfully it looks like you can pick up the same power ups you had already peaked up as long as you complete the mission again.

If you enjoyed exploring the city in Silent Hill, fire up the PSX version of this, for the exploration alone it is worth it. Remember, later missions take place in other areas too; it's not just the area you see in the first few missions.

I've been revisiting the game again recently, and I hate how my first experience of the game was ruined by the dogshit translation work.

It's so fucking bad. It's not just the translation, it's the fucking voice cast. Holy shit, why is Emma voiced by Hale (Naomi from MGS1)? It's like at the halfway mark someone figured out that the original design for MGS2 was to reuse voices for important reasons, and then just went "shit, well we already cast everyone, so I guess we'll just do it with Emma instead?".

They completely fucked the whole Olga and Solidus shit, which you can maybe forgive first because MGS1's accents kneecapped them here because they couldn't get Meryl for Olga after a whole game's worth of regional accents, and Solidus can be forgiven because Hayter has zero range and can't really be expected to voice 2 whole characters in the same game. I wonder if MGS2's butchery influenced the decision to cut the accents from TTS. I know they took the opportunity to "improve" the cutscene translation work.

And the worst offender is Raiden's dogshit "fresh from the anime circuit" VA work. That alone would've ruined the whole game, but when you factor in everything else you wind up with a level of butchery that hasn't been seen prior, and will probably never be seen again. And fucking Rose, too. The ONE good VA in the entire English version of the game is Fortune.

I always loved Diablo 1 over all other entries.

Did someone summarize what the lore in D1 was exuding the cringe trash they added later?

I remember the lore being very obscure like they did not go into
>Ah yes angels fights ....
>And the battle of....

Where Angels even mentioned in D1? It is truly a incredible game. Considering that the implications of someone called a witch being one of the good guys (D3 and later are not canon!) the world to me presented some questionable morality. Or maybe a situation where there are only humans and demons no angels no other bullshit and for a zillion % none of the "humans are le nephelim and stronger then angels and demons!!!111ONEONE" cringe!

Did they exactly explain how demons worked in this time period? If not in the game in some extra materials like the manual or some books (before D2)?

D1 is also fundamentaly different it teaches you based on game play. There are many moments where the player will fuck himself over. My personal part was when the game spawned the gate to the next level right next to me. So I decided to simply walk to the end of the game ignoring all the monsters. And I got instantly killed because I was under leveled. This did teach me that you need to clear every level and kill every monster to get the XP! Not only this there is no D2 WOW bullshit where the monsters re-spawn and you can grind forever. No the monsters are 1 time.
There is no possibility to grind. This also means that gold is limited and every potion you buy and use is not coming back.

D1 Is not some retarded grind fest in sunny locations like D2.
As for the atmosphere it is perfect. Imagine you enter a town 1 town that got literally hell opening under them, the dark night atmosphere. You get familiar with all the towns people and the towns layout. And all the shortcuts who open once you get deeper into the underground are in places most people who finished the game know by hart.

This makes the place familiar to you. instead of you know
>LOL Overlord of hell #2 killed/captured into pokeball lets move to a different location. LMFAO!
With some random retarded other camp you will be staying in.

Because of how resources work in D1 the fight against diablo is intense. And even if you "win" the game the ending makes clear that you did not really defeat diablo and live a cursed existence a dark ending for a game.

What I like about D1 is that it is the perfect blend of RPG and real game. Instead of wasting hours to grind to get that random drop of the sword who has bigger numbers only for the level of the monster to increase to a bigger number so you waste more time grinding for that random drop.... Others pointed out how boring and stupid these kinds of game are.

The RPG element in D1 can not be grinded for XP or loot. It only exists in this perfect balance where it is hard however not to hard and lets you feel that the monsters on the deeper levels are more dangerous.

PS: Also there is the comedy of D2 where the game tries to make a forest in a game engine that uses trees like walls in the jungle.

I liked it too, and the atmosphere.

D2 really went overboard with the grinding after LoD more specifically. Before LoD, gear was simpler, quest items were more useful, and enemy difficulty wasn't over the top. LoD added so much more stuff to grind for and then the synergy patch forced you to grind for that stuff too. D2 still had some odd design choices before LoD like no mana potions for sale and it still has old bugs that can mess up a game but I still enjoyed it more in some ways than later versions.

The more retro games I play, the more I realize the word "repetitive" is being thrown around by other retro gamers. I'm going to say it. There's NO such thing as repetitive games. It's an oldhead saying that should not even exist anymore. The concept of a lot of games IS repetitive. In the 2000's, they tried combating this complaint with those dumb multi-genre games in the 00's that ultimately failed. If a game feels too repetitive, play something else it's that simple.

How did this magic work?
I heard the kids' inputs were not actually impactful to the game and instead there was someone playing the game nad reacting (often poorly) to the kids' key presses.
The most well known one was Hugo, but there was also Throut & Neck. Any others?
