Where do I start with Parasite Eve?
>>12488528Idk, there are so many choices...
>>12488528I 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.
>>12488528the source, obviously
>>12488528Novel, 1, then 2, and then forget the series exists.
>>12488528sneed
>>12488528video gamers are literally the dumbest people on earth. Nowhere else would you find such a stupid and common question.
The 3rd Birthday
>>12488528The movie
>>12488528In this order:>Resident Evil 1>Resident Evil 2>Final Fantasy 7>Parasite Eve>Resident Evil 3>Parasite Eve 2>Silent Hill
>>12488563If 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
>>12488661that's like most Japanese adaptations from the '90s
>>12488659Based
>>12488563Honestly I would read the book after having played the games.
>play parasite eve 1>stopdont fall for the retards who say 2 is good. unless you think a mediocore RE clone is appealing.
>>12489463Retard.
>>12489469literally 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 storyLolwhat, PE2 has a better story.>gun customizationStats autism is the least fun part of roleplaying games.>urban settingThe first level is in LA lol, and Dryfield ensures the game still has plenty of Americana.>great musicPE2'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 designsPE2'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?
>>12489510fair 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 90sThat would be impressive since the English version did not come out in the 90's.
>>12489530sorry for not memorizing the release date of every game I played 30 years ago.
>>12489531Why 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 controlsBeing filtered by tank controls is proof of retardation
>>12489543everyone 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.
>>12489550You don't even remember the fucking game, why should anyone trust you?
yeah pe1 is vastly different from pe2just 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 agoStop 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.
>>12488528Honestly I would start with the book, the first game picks up about ten minutes after it ends.
>>12489463based, PE2 is a fucking disgrace and was made to appeal to RE normies which is why it has so many defenders
>>12488528So whatever happened to this series? Why did they stop making them? I'm just assuming a licensing issue
>>12489996Turns out there's quite a few things he doesn't remember about the game, so why should his shitposts be taken seriously?
>>12490618The 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.
>>12490719Anon, 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.
>>12488659FF8 should go between PE1 and 2.
>>12491131It was dead well before that. They called it the 3rd Birthday because no one gave a fuck about Parasite Eve.
>>12491145>it's not a big fucking dealIt's not just the release date, as Anon said many, MANY abject falsehoods about the game. He's trying to argue about the postgame content the game allegedly doesn't have, so his posts should not be taken seriously.
>>12491829Clearly not because I was able to give useful, accurate information about PE2, while somebody with minimal recollection of the game writes polemics based on his hallucinations.
Probably the novel. And then the video games in release order.
>>12492503>Probably the novel. And then the video games in release order.this but the movie after the novel.
PE2 is bettercombat is better, story is better, graphics are SO much better, that fucking intro blending into gameplay, chef's kissthe beautiful menus, whoever designed that, i'll suck him off cleanharder difficulties from post game modes are real challengesno grinding bullshit like chrysler buildingfun weapons to use (which other games have a fucking gunblade?)ATB system for battles is horrible, you just wait for your turn, just make it real time like 2
>>12493670They're so different in gameplay and setting that comparing them is silly. I enjoyed the original, and still play through it occasionally. I liked the sequel for what it was, but it left a neutral impression on me. Don't hate it, it just doesn't appeal to me like the first one did.
>>12492503The book is so different from the game that you should only read the book if you actually want to read the book. The game is an extremely loose sequel that is basically just the original draft for FF7
>>12488561>but you should still start with PE1 so that the story of PE2 makes more sense.Not even the story of PE1 really makes sense. Don't try to understand it, it's a fucking clusterfuck.
>>12495857PE1's story makes plenty of sense, I don't know why millennials kept peddling for years that MGS and Square games and whatnot had confusing narratives.
>>12495876Isn't Aya half-japanese or some shit? She looks as white as it gets though. The game is full of retarded stuff like this.
>>12495881Apart from the blonde hair and blue eyes she looks pretty convincingly half-caste, at least the way Nomura draws her.
>>12488575Kek
>>12495889It's a bog standard trope. Anime and manga are filled with "domesticated" hafus who are part Nip. It's a vaguely fetishy, Japanese supremacy thing. Saw it all the time in KanColle doujins.
How is Brea even meant to be pronounced? I haven't played The 3rd Birthday so I don't know what the "official" pronunciation is. >Bray-uhThis pronunciation would imply her dad is Hispanic, which is unlikely given her features.>Bree-uhSomewhat rare name in English but it exists>BrayIf her dad hails from Cornwall, then it's probably pronounced like this.
>>12488659>no vagrant storyposer
>>12495889>apart from the features which make it impossible for her to be Japanese, she looks JapaneseAstounding.
>>12495916It probably won't help you any that in Japanese her surname is ブレア.
>>12496079I said she looks half-caste you fucking retard.
>>12496118Man, her surname name is totally meant to be Blair.
The gun costumization on PE 1 is retarded. Who puts out a shoot 3 times modifier but it actually makes the damage divided by three?
>>12496181it's closer to like 42% of the default, but yeahyou technically do more total damage, but each round becomes less efficient3x is the sweetspot, but 2x is nearly as good and saves you a roundit's a goofy as hell system, but JRPGs often many thinga beyond my understanding
>>12496252Getting the P8000 right at the end of the game felt like a slap to me who used a 3 shot rifle. Imagine being dumb enough to open yourself to attacks by using the slowest attack times 3, what a goof
>>12496268yeah, it was very biased towards pistols and SMGs, unfortunately
>>12488528Read the book first
>>12496174But officially in all versions, written out Brea. Linguistics is funny.
>>12496380I fucking love saggy tits and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>12496391those aren't saggy, they're just normal titsyour're too used to the balloon/pushup bra look
>>12490618> I'm just assuming a licensing issueYou would be correct.
>>12495916I always figured it was pronounced like tar pits since a lot of the production was done in LA.
>>12496418Is even a port to PC out of the question too?
>>12496420This is also how Japan pronounces those too. ラ・ブレア. Linguistics is funny.
>>12496171Sorry, Ranjesh, I don't know what that means because I come from a white country without the concept of a caste system.
>>12488528>Where do I start with Parasite Eve?midway thru the second game, then play the first hour of the first game and quit
>>12496546You're a dumbarse.
>>12496772>britishLike I said, I come from a white country.
>>12489463>PE2>RE cloneLOL, never played the game huh?
>>12489463came here to say this. pe2 is ass.
the first game is the only one worth playing, might as well be considered the only game in the series

>>12488528You start by playing the game? Is it really that difficult to understand?
With ass like this no wonder my mitochondria be actin'
>>12504523I've been meaning to make a video essay on why Aya has the best ass on the PS1.
>>12504724You serious? I mean i've been noticing how her asscheeks curvature are visible even from the side, like you could see the overhanging flab of that dumpy. And those thighs, a pair of soft white marshmallows with a prominent thigh gap. Absolute perfection
>>12504894>You serious?Yeah, serious.
>>12505153Well i'd be one happy anon if i get to see it one day. Make a thread when its done
>>12501807Retard
>>12506482
>>12490174>the first game picks up about ten minutes after it ends.It tries to be continuation of the novel but in the end it barely has anything to do with the novel, nothing really matches
Hope they remake these games one day
>>12489550Taste is subjective. It's such a boring argument to screech about how if you don't like a game therefore it's shit - grow up we aren't in the playground anymore
>>12489463>mediocore RE clone>directed by the guy who created Umbrella, Wesker, the entire RE1 plot, all the files in the game, selected the weapons that would up in the game and basically all the things fan love about Resident Evil >levels made by the guy who designed the Spencer mansion and the RPD>characters designed by the guy who designed Leon, Wesker and Barry>it's a clone I swearIf anything it's the real RE1 sequel.
My girlfriend's mom spent like $200 οn physical copies of these because her dipshit son lost her originals.
>>12510064Why is your girlfriend cheating on her brother
>>12488659alone in the dark 1-3, docter hauzer, estatica, dragon slayer, hydrlyde,dragon warrior 1-6, final fantasy 1-7 resident evil 1-2
>>12510348Were jokes about her giant hands common?
>>12510348>>12511176Imagine the handjobs
>>12511584Sadly, her hand is much too small for me.
>>12511602Based
>>12488528OP did you start yet?
>>12496174Like Blair from the Thing, which Sena copied for his novel.
>>12514416Unlikely
>>12488528play 2 then 1, going from 1 to 2 will just make you mad that they lobotomized their game to chase Resident Evil when I was already declining
>>12515476Retard
>>12515435NO! It can't end like this!
should I play this if I like spooky ps1 fixed camera angle games but RE is toο hard for me?
>>12489463>>12490234>>12497516This is a wonderful argument for me to skip 1 and play 2 because 1 is fucking boring and written like shit and made me wish I was just playing a normal survival horror gameSquare sucks
>>12516385then go play PE2 you fucking drone, it was designed precisely for nonsentient niggercattle like you.
>>12516401Parasite Eve sucks ass, nigger, cope. Really I just dropped the whole shitty series and I aint playing any of this crap.
>>12516403>look at me!!!! look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee/v/
>>12516404>IM SPECIAL I POST ON BOOMER FAGGOT /v/ GOOKMOOT MADE CONTAIN ME Not coping
>REEEE BOOMER BOARD REEEEE RETRO GAME BAD I HATE THEM AAAAAAAAAAA
Parasite Eve is simply a shit gameEverything Square "crafts" (shits out to barely survive) sucks complete ass.Cope, boomer sperg
>>12516375I think PE2 is even harder than RE, but I also think it's fairer
>>12516413>trying to equate Golden Age Square to the shit they started churning out after Sakaguchi left because you're an oblivious zoomlol
>>12516385>>12516413Parasite Eve 1 is an action RPG, you fucking retards. Evidence that the only reason retards can't get into the game is that they heard a YouTuber call it le survival horror inspired by Resident Evil and got disappointed when they got a kino JRPG instead. Seriously fuck off already.>Hurr durr it was advertised as Survival horrorIt wasn't, look on the back of the box, you fucking idiot.
They're both great games and you shouldn't skip either of them, as the overarching story is a big part of why you play them.
