Oh sorry I just meant gameplay wise, visually they were fine. The game starts off by throwing you a couple of enemies + boss with projectiles, which made me think big part of the game would be sort of bullet hell.

But they didn't really follow it up. A lot of the enemies were melee based, and the enemies with projectiles were kinda janky and weird. Maybe the engine just wasn't that great with projectiles, so they didn't focus on it.

Used to hate it because my friend (who was the most popular kid in 2nd grade at my school) played it and declared it the best game ever made one day into it in-game. He would never shut the fuck up about it, no other game couldn't match up to it, not even the RE games, and hated that I didnt like it as much as he did, and I eventually got sick of the game for a long time.

When I got to college, I decided to give the game another chance, and I enjoy it a lot better now. Still not better than RE1-3 IMO, but its definitely a solid 8/10 game.

At the time, it was the only one that was big enough and horror in-style that you could compare it too. But then Silent Hill came out sometime shortly after and that convo dropped. We both pretty much agreed Silent Hill was dope when it came out.

It's one of those (very) flawed gems.

The NYPD horror vibe is really amazing the short while it actually lasts before going off the rails.

Combat centered around running in circles waiting for the damn ATB to fill is also not that great in the long run.

PE2 is actually a very solid competitor to the RE series.

Maybe against random monsters, but against Eve at the base of the Statue of Liberty we are dealing with top quality video game mechanics here. The amount of shit that you have to dodge, and are allowed to dodge, because you are free to move as opposed to standing still in your standard jrpg, was unique and enjoyable. The final fight against Eve is one of my favorite boss fights in video games as a whole.

PE is a 10/10 video game and a work of art. I really need to play 2 ASAP.

As soon as possible, set your rate of fire to 2 and maintain 100% uptime on haste and run around 2 tapping for maximum efficiency. Dps = total damage divided by number of shots, so you can do the same amount of damage in 2 shots as in 5. 2 shots makes the combat much more fluid and the game really takes off after that point.

I think I'm the only one thinking the game is bad. I mean that combat system is fucking dogshit, using the skills fucks the pace so much, most of them are useless and running around offers little to no strategy in the battles.
Customization is as shallow as it can be, fusing old weapons into new ones so they get stronger- this, everytime.
The story is pure cringe (I seriously hope you don't think it's good), from the characters to the writing. Not even B-movie tier of cringe, just bad.
The graphics are alright, some camera angles are pretty good. OST becomes annoying, and sometimes it's laughably bad

One thing I've really learned to appreciate over the years is just how different the two games are.

PE1's atmosphere is really something that needs to be experienced. It's melancholic, spooky, feverishly grandiose, and oddly festive all at once.

Almost makes up for all the bullshit you have to put up with. The walking speed is so agonizingly slow that it almost seems to be done to deliberately piss you off. Don't even get me started on the fucking Chrysler Building.

PE2 is a much more polished experience in comparison. I sure do miss Liberate, though.
