Where do I start with Parasite Eve?
>>
>>12488528
Idk, there are so many choices...
>>
>>12488528
I love both of these games, they're both super different (not even the same genre) but you should still start with PE1 so that the story of PE2 makes more sense.

There is no Parasite Eve 3. There is no Parasite Eve 3. Repeat after me: There is no Parasite Eve 3.

the source, obviously

>>12488528
Novel, 1, then 2, and then forget the series exists.

>>12488528

>>12488528
video gamers are literally the dumbest people on earth. Nowhere else would you find such a stupid and common question.
>>
The 3rd Birthday
>>
>>12488528
The movie
>>
>>12488528
In this order:

>Resident Evil 1
>Resident Evil 2
>Final Fantasy 7
>Parasite Eve
>Resident Evil 3
>Parasite Eve 2
>Silent Hill
>>
>>12488563
If you read the book first then half of the game you'll be going "wait isn't this just a retread of the book's plot" until it switches it up.
>>
Parasite eve 2 is basically the true resident evil 3 with the true director of RE1 and the team behind RE2
>>
>>12488661
that's like most Japanese adaptations from the '90s
>>
>>12488659
Based
>>
>>12488563
Honestly I would read the book after having played the games.
>>
>play parasite eve 1
>stop
dont fall for the retards who say 2 is good. unless you think a mediocore RE clone is appealing.
>>
>>12489463
Retard.
>>
>>12489469
literally everything that makes PE1 a fun and unique classic game is removed in 2
>interesting story and characters: gone
>gun customization: gone
>urban setting: gone
>great music: gone
>intuitive controls: gone
>rpg elements: gone
>great monster designs: gone
>ultimate weapons: gone
>post game: gone
>>
Parasite eve 2 have the best bosses on any survival horror game i have ever played
>>
>>12489497
>interesting story
Lolwhat, PE2 has a better story.
>gun customization
Stats autism is the least fun part of roleplaying games.
>urban setting
The first level is in LA lol, and Dryfield ensures the game still has plenty of Americana.
>great music
PE2's soundtrack is incredible. Gentle Rays is one of my favourite credits themes of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz8OtNL5BBo
>rpg elements:
PE2 has actual roleplaying since you have skill trees, and you really gotta pick and choose. PE1 meanwhile has linear progression that is basically scripted.
>great monster designs
PE2's monsters are great.
>ultimate weapons
>post game
??????????
PE2 has insane post-game content with extra modes, unlockable weapons, genuinely what are you talking about? Have you even played the game?
>>
>>12489510
fair enough about post game, I forgot about all that because I havent played this turd since the 90s. and the gun system in 1 is clearly a lot more than "stats autism" that is just one part of it. the rest we will agree to disagree
>>
>>12489527
>I haven't played this turd since the 90s
That would be impressive since the English version did not come out in the 90's.
>>
>>12489530
sorry for not memorizing the release date of every game I played 30 years ago.
>>
>>12489531
Why is a senile person trying to argue with me about games he has no fucking memory of? Where do you get off being confidently wrong?
>>
>>12489497
>intuitive controls
Being filtered by tank controls is proof of retardation
>>
>>12489543
everyone with a hint of taste knows PE2 was and is a massive disappointment, we knew it back then and we know it now. I'm sorry you're a shit eater with no standards.
>>
>>12489550
You don't even remember the fucking game, why should anyone trust you?
>>
yeah pe1 is vastly different from pe2
just play both
>>
>>12489530
>>12489543
>>12489559
>game came out in the year 2000
>anon generalizes the release timeframe as "the 90s"
>autistic zoomie spaz loses his mind that someone might not remember the exact release year of a game they played 26 years ago
Stop being a fucking retard.
>>
Obviously with left when the curtain scene comes 28 minutes later and no FAQ can save switch to 2
>>
I own them physically and only got like 10 minutes in before getting filtered by the gameplay. I'll go back one day.
>>
>>12488528
Honestly I would start with the book, the first game picks up about ten minutes after it ends.
>>
>>12489463
based, PE2 is a fucking disgrace and was made to appeal to RE normies which is why it has so many defenders
>>
>>12488528
So whatever happened to this series? Why did they stop making them? I'm just assuming a licensing issue
>>
>>12489996
Turns out there's quite a few things he doesn't remember about the game, so why should his shitposts be taken seriously?
>>
>>12490618
The last game was made exclusive for the PSP, and it was called The 3rd Birthday. It was so badly written, its gameplay so awful, it killed it in its entirety.
>>
>>12490719
Anon, the older you get, the faster time seems to go by. Parsing through 40+ years of memories and thinking a game released in 2000 (1999 in Japan if we're splitting hairs as you are), it's not a big fucking deal.
If you would like to be even more pedantic, the beginning and end of a decade is actually X1-X0, not X0-X9. So in both practical and technical terms, you're a retard. Hope this helps.
>>
>>12488659
FF8 should go between PE1 and 2.
>>
>>12491131
It was dead well before that. They called it the 3rd Birthday because no one gave a fuck about Parasite Eve.
