This is correct.

Anyone who says DC1 sucks is wrong. Anyone who says DC2 sucks is wrong. And anyone who says DC has more than 2 games in the series is lying.

[Anonymous No.5168480]

One thing I love about this kind of games is being able to examine the environment and get nice descriptions.
So i don't like that DC2, with it's fast paced combat, has a such a clear distinction between areas where you're free to look around for clues and are full of points to examine and areas which serve as arenas to fight dinosaurs, practically devoid of all that flavor text. The prerendered backgrounds look amazing tho.

[Anonymous No.5168483]

>>5168480
you usually can examine things in dinosaur fighting areas, but the areas are almost all in the jungle so there's not much to examine, save for the non-jungle bits

[Anonymous No.5168679]

>>5167960
Exactly this.
Dino Crisis 2 is an excellent game, shitted only by Resident Evil purists who want their survival horror(s) written with a stencil. I mean, you're finally in the right dino hunting setting: a verdant jungle full with those big ass reptiles. This without renouncing on destroyed towns, hyper-technological bases and so on. So, the common complaint would be the action approach; listen to me, what truly ruins a game is, among other factors, the novelty elements in the wrong proportions (see Dino Crisis 3, though this one was messed up for plenty of reasons), and this successor right here (Dino Crisis 2) had their novelties perfectly combined with the traditional stuff. It's truly a no-brainer, if you aren't blinded by nostalgia or by other means, you'll like this chapter, even more than its great predecessor. sorry for any typos, i'm not a native speaker

[Anonymous No.5168705]

honesty, if I had to choose between DC1 and 2, I don't know if I could
at first, I thought dino crisis 1 was boring as shit, but a few years ago I replayed it and realized, DC1 was actually one of, if not the best horror games ever made
then DC2 I loved even as a kid, it was just the right amount of fun, combined with all the cool backgrounds and the cutscenes, it was just a fucking rad game

I think dino criis 3's biggest flaw was that it tried to stick with dino crisis 2's spawn system where each camera angle change spawns enemies, and combined with you jetpacking around, it was a goddamn mess
if you rereleased 3 with a proper camera, it'd probably be amazing

[Anonymous No.5168885]

>>5168705
I don't know man, i don't think something as simple as different camera angles would save that game... It's true that i'm a little biased over here because i didn't actually play it and only saw a couple of gameplay videos, but you know... The non-dinosaurs in space is a bit too much even for me, especially if i can't even kick their asses with Regina or Dylan... But that's far from the issue, Dino Crisis 3 could've been anything and it would still suck if compared to the previous titles, that set the bar way too high, let alone the fact that said titles had already established a plotline too difficult to retcon, imho.

[Anonymous No.5170462]

I've watched a playthrough of DC3 to figure out what's wrong with it anyway. These are my observations.

>Tank controls and fixed angles camera, now with vertical movement too. It seemed to be extremely cumbersome. 80% of the time, the player was shooting at something off-screen.
>The setting is a derelict space station, but it utter lacks any "living" areas, places that indicate that people one day lived there. There are no cafeterias, bedrooms, bathrooms or recreation areas, only grey corridors and even more corridors, with a machinery or reactor room here and there. It's all cold and sterile and identical to each other. Did I mention that it's all completely empty? You won't see as much as a chair or a table laying around.
>The boss fights are all long and extremely boring, as all of them are massive damage sponges. It takes forever to kill them, and god forbid you die and have to start the fight over (and it's easy to die).

Overall, I could see why it was so terrible

[Anonymous No.5170504]

Not the anon you replied to, but i would've gladly preferred the original idea of the dinosaurs going loose in the present day in the present cities due to the happenings of the previous title. Not only it makes sense, but it's actually a good point from which they could've built a nice gameplay, maybe with DC1 types of landscapes but with the gunplay and extinction points from DC2. and while we're at it, a new playable character helped by a grown up, milf version of Regina just joking, have another picture of her.

If Capcom will resume this serie it will either be
>1. Remakes
>2. The final chapter that ultimately kills the franchise for good.
But maybe i'm just very biased regarding nu-games and that's all. I just don't see a Dino Crisis 4 capturing the same good old style; with gorgeous pre-rendered graphics, simple yet fun gameplay and all the other details that made great those titles. I think that they would go for a generic TPS with high 3D polys a la RE4...

[Anonymous No.5170526]

Like he says >>5168914 it's unfortunately the case. Here's a website in moonrunes http://www.itmedia.co.jp/games/gsnews/0105/17/news04.html starting from the third picture they talk about DC3 and its fate

[Anonymous No.5170531]

>>5170521
Unfortunately, yes. As much as i won't understand it, i could see why they made such a choice. Even a Spiderman title had the same fate with a level totally remade because of it, but there are probably many other cases.

[Anonymous No.5170553]

>>5167948
Dc forces a lot more ammo management than RE does, item noxes are locked, there's no melee weapon to fall back on when out of ammo, the handgun is often totally useless, also, the dart creation system, while iseful, takes a lot of trial and error for the non hard ore fan.

Adding to that, it's more linear than RE, because you rarely just explore and figure shit out, and the game always tells you where to go next. It's literally:
>RE with all the good parts taken out, but harder for muh epic le gaymur cred.

I mean, it's not ultra hard, but a noob who doesn't know where plugs are, or how to effectively make darts can fuck themselves easily and find it hard as balls.

[Anonymous No.5170567]

>>5167957
This is a topic that's debateable, to an extent.

The difference is that DC1 has a lot of elements shoved in, making it fun for a more hardcore survival horror purist, but a pain in the ass for new comers.

DC2 is simpler, but has that nice sliding difficulty scale. So the better you are, the harder the game pushes back. Its also impossible to permanently fuck yourself in DC2, and the gameplay was designed to be pure fun.
But said survival horror purists will probably get bored.

Personally, even as a purist, I find DC2 to be the better game. But on the same note, it's kinda like comparing REmake to RE4. A situation where I see REmake as the better game...

[Anonymous No.5170598]

>>5170567

I remember when that wasn't an issue. Hard games certainly have their audience today, but it's always in some Dark Souls bullshit kind of way where the niche audience thinks their bigshots or special instead of it just being the norm.

This. The DC2 is awesome part, not the sexbot thing... though that would be neat too. I would just get a Claire from RE2 one, personally.

But anyway, DC2 is truely awesome, and once you get good, and start getting huge no damage bonuses all the time, the game gets harder, having more raptors spawn, usually closer to you and act more aggressively. Which makes things even more fun, honestly.
Eventually, if you kill lile 20 taptors in a single area, they send out the big guns in the form of super raptors that just fuck your shit up. That's less fun, but still neat.

The only bad part is that once you're that good, you end up having everything in the shop, tons of ammo on all weapons and nothing but top tier healing items. Which ultimately takes a lot of challenge away, but whatever.
Continuously getting big no damage bonuses is the main challenge of the game anyway.

One of my favorite things to do is kill an alosaur as regina with just the handhun with no damage. It can get rough, but the no damage bonus is like 15000 the first time you do it. Good shit.

One of my all time favorite games.
