This right here is peak Squaresoft. What a ridiculously stylish game.

HOLY SHIT SO THIS IS WHERE THE APESUIT ARMOUR CAME FROM.
I've been trying to remember for fucking YEARS where the fuck that armour design came from and now I have my answer, thanks a ton, OP.
Fuck, I thought thw armour design was from one of the Final Fantasy movies and it was driving me crazy.
What a relief, i'm playing this game just because of this.

I don't want my player character to be a pretty girl. I can't be walking around in virtual worlds looking like a pretty girl man, it's just weird

>> No.10914928

the changes to how equipment and parasite powers work were interesting and would have been an improvement, but the switch to tank controls made the combat way fucking clunkier and almost erases the positives of the new battle system. first game was still far better.

It wasn't a good sequel to PE1, but it was a damn good classic survival horror

Really bummed out they never made more Resi style games after this, they did very well with this one

Just cleared the first level and got to Dryfield. APparently puzzles are optional?

I didn't unlock the passcode on the submerged pathway nor did i insert the red key into the panel thingy. I went up to explore thinking I will need to return after and got immediately in a boss fight and the level ended.

The one of Egypt is NOT optional and is annoying as hell.

>> No.10916360

>>10916348
iirc the red key just raises the bridge at the end of the level so you can cross without taking damage and while getting free exp from the fish. It may be optional on the original difficulty, but you won't want to cross without raising the bridge on the higher difficulties.
Same with the locked cabinet in Dryfield, you won't want to miss that on the higher difficulties.

Not gonna lie, the first disc was great. All those cheeky blurps that sometimes are puzzle solutions for later made the game feel more like a adventure game and I love it. It's a shame about the second disc though
