So I was thinking about picking up parasite eve and vagrant story for the ps1... Good combo?

>> No.3111413

Vagrant Story sucks, to nix that game and then yes, good combo.

>> No.3111418

>>3111413
Parasite eve 2 then? Or recommend?

I had a really good time playing Parasite Eve my first time.

Vagrant Story is kind of more involved and requires you to be aware of a lot of the mechanics it's fun, but it's more about exploiting enemies and the AI than actually being a fun game.

I think PE is more entertaining and over all a better game, but Vagrant Story feels more rewarding to play and beat because the mechanics are more involved.

PE2 is alright, but it's a lot different than the original I would argue it's worse.

If you want an alternative, Dino Crisis 2 is pretty damn fun. You don't really need to play Dino Crisis 1 (a total Resident Evil clone, but fighting enemies is even more worthless becuase they respawn) because the story is stupid anyways, but Dino Crisis 2 is a really fun action game.

I'm looking for dark horror survival or dark RPGs... I liked dino crisis and soul reaver... And legend of dragoon... Is that a good basis of comparison? Im looking for games of dragoon tier length and difficulty but dark and edgy... Can't beat ps1 the way it does dark n spooky

Kings Field.
Shadow Tower (probably the more "darker" thing you're looking for)

They're first person though so you may not enjoy it as much.

The PS1 Clocktower is really good, and Echo Night is pretty good as well, but I do prefer Echo Night: Beyond.

>> No.3111440

>>3111431
I see. Then you want Shadow Tower.

I'd get that on the Dreamcast fr sure... I'm looking for spooky dank ps1 horror RPG with violence and tough puzzles, good story and great midnight ambiance... I might be in a nitch category. Sorry if I'm being picky

Maybe Shadow Man? Though the N64 version is universally considered the better version.

I've been looking up listings of horror RPGs on the PS1 and it's a short list. The only two games which haven't been mentioned here yet are Koudelka and The Galerians. I haven't played either so I can't tell if you they're good or not.
