I mean it obviously is? Survival horror is a meme genre, they're weighted for babies and casuals so anyone who can actually play a game ends up with way too much ammo and health all the time and it's just a question of dumb puzzles and memorizing jumpscares or scripted boss fights.

Making RE into an insane action movie with progress systems was pure ludo, like when Sam Raimi realized that horror movies don't need to be scary.

I felt the first game had a better OST, story, and setting. The 2nd game is basically Resident Evil 3, even Aya looks like Jill Valentine with the short hair, skirt, and boots. The monsters look like shit too and the noises they make are awful.

>>5490926
funny you call me that considering the 2nd game helps you out by giving you a map pinpointing where to go and a description of what to do. On top of that, you get ammo boxes lying around and bonus points you collect from killing monsters to purchase more health and ammo. Basically made it towards casual action gamers.

That honestly explains it, all I could think about when I was playing through the Drytown segment was how unbearably hot it must've been because I've been to Arizona and I know how it feels, while at the same time thinking about how extremely unbearably cold Aya's legs must be when it turned from day to night. Drytown never felt comfortable to me, just thinking about it is burning the skin right off the back of my neck.

The Police Station in the first game was much more comfy.

yeah if you moderate you'll probably never see the harm, but just drinking it at all corrodes your teeth; the phosphoric acid weakens your teeth on contact, draining their minerals.

Sonic 2 is probably hands down the best Sonic game in the franchise period. Best game mechanics. Smooth fluid gameplay. Fun and decent enemies. And it had literally the best sound track in any of the Sonic games. Also the levels were amazing and memorable. I can't recall a single fucking level in Sonic 1 or 3, but I remember Metropolis Zone, Oil Ocean Zone, Mystic Cave, and of course the legendary Casino Night Zone.

PE1 was an RPG? Never knew. Guess I'll have to play it then.

Don't bother, just skip to 2, it has much better gameplay and game design.

>I can't recall a single level in Sonic 1 or 3
Starlight Zone, Marble Garden, Angel Island, Ice Cap and Spring Yard are all better than any stage in Sonic 2.
Also Oil Ocean sucks until Mania, Mystic Cave has a pit where if you're Super Sonic you literally cannot do anything but wait for your rings to run out if you fall into it and Metropolis is just retreading Scrap Brain Zone.

Oil Ocean is a hard stage in a game people constantly criticize for being too easy, having one stage where you can get lost easily towards the end of a game is good. Likewise, having one "fuck you completely" trap in an entire game like the one is Mystic Cave is also fine, if you fall in there once you're going to remember it and avoid it on every subsequent playthrough. If it was easy to fuck up and fall in the pit over and over you'd have a point but you pretty much have to jump into it intentionally. Also, all of the traps and elevators/movement devices in Scrap Brain and Metropolis are different. When the enemy is an mad robot builder I'm really not sure what else you can do with a "getting close to the final confrontation" level than a bunch of mechanical shit trying to kill you. Sonic 2 is the peak of the series, 1 doesn't go far enough and 3/S&K is good but also has several bad design decisions

I know you're being sarcastic, but it's more likely a jarpig would be unemployed than someone who's skilled at gaming.

I cannot fucking believe nobody posted picture related yet, or even mentioned it. It's like an ideal version of what a video game sequel should be. Don't think there's a better sequel in the history of the medium, honestly. Maybe DMC3, or MGS2?

>>5489365
I don't know if it surpassed DC1 since all in all the two games are rather different in what they were trying to do, but it has to be said that the fact that they took that control scheme and turned it into a successful run and gun arcade title is fucking insane. That was the CAPGOD era of CAPCOM though, one that we haven't yet quite entered again.

>>5494562
This, also. Turned a janky shitfest into one of the best games on the system, and the GBA was a legendarily good console with plenty of great shit on it. Even Buu's Fury was worse in some regards.

>>5506653
You could also say AC2 was a gigantic improvement over Air Combat. Though I think that AC3 tends to be overrated in certain regards, the split campaign system isn't as amazing as it seems, honestly. There's plenty of similar shit in all of the routes, it's not like they go wildly different depending on which corporation you pick.
