Yes, it's still the best in the series in my opinion.

It’s a worse version of Resident Evil 2. But even RE2 was overrated for its year. If you’re really looking for muh edgy scary game, play Silent Hill 1 and then realize that even that kinda sucks.

Dino Crisis is great, not similar to RE2 besides being survival horror. RE2 is also one of the best games ever and Silent Hill is far below it in terms of gameplay, design, replayability, etc...

What are you trying to say? Games are for kids and you don't play games with dinosaurs in them?
>>5792840
This was still the beginning of these kinds of games popping up, most people I knew ended up out of ammo by the end of Disc 2 and couldn't beat the last boss. Difficulty is way above the average median for games, and the games has extra difficulties and modes, as well as one of the best games for actually imposing self challenges like no damage, knife only, speed runs, etc... Every area and enemy placement was designed with care for a great gameplay experience. I can play MGS 1 or 2 now and breeze through it, but I can still recognize the design is top level in all difficulties and can be enjoyed by casual one play---through or beat repeatedly by those who want to perfect it.

It's simply put the best AITD/RE style survival horror game from that era; maybe not in terms of scare or atmosphere, but at least gameplay wise it is.

If you get tired of it just skip to the second one, you're not missing much in terms of story. DC2 is more action-y, streamlined and less convoluted

Dino Crisis 2 is better, play that one

>> No.5793173

DC1 is a lot like the first Resident Evil. One thing of note is that you really aren't supposed to be fighting the velociraptors with your pistol, because they're strong as fuck. Later on, you'll discover a way to make sleeping darts and you can fire them from your shotgun. The main difference between this and RE is that DC has truly 3D backgrounds, not just pre-rendered camera angles. Although the camera usually stays in the same spot, sometimes it follows you.
One thing of note is that the game has 3 endings,with a few variations.

Now DC2, follows neither RE nor DC1. It's sorta like this hybrid arcade-RE3 hybrid, where you can run and shoot at the same time, and the emphasis is on comboing stuff. You can fight as many as 25 raptors per area (only 2 at once). There are more "action" sequences like a tank battle (really) and turret section. They've gone back to pre-rendered backgrounds, but it kind of works. The ambients are also more varied. While DC1 was almost completely inside a research facility, in DC2 you visit a forest, a facility, an underwater facility, a city (the best part) and even a time station.

DC3... well, it's there.

>> No.5793175

>>5793173
By the way, I really liked DC2. Probably finished it 4 or 5 times in a month. It has this scoring system (that's why I said it was arcadey) where you can use points to buy ammo, health or better weapons. You can play as Dylan and Regina - each stage of the game changes the character. There's a pretty shitty underwater section where you move slow as molasses and only have a nail gun, but it's over in 15 to 20 minutes.

>> No.5793179

>>5792765
DC1 is more Resident Evil than Resident Evil, with even more difficult puzzles, only three guns, even more limited ammo, respawning enemies, and the basic enemy is the equivalent of hunters.

>> No.5793182

>>5793173
On DC3, I've never played it, but I watched a playthrough to see what's wrong with it, anyway. My impressions were

>Very poor detail. It takes place in a space station, but all I saw were dull, grey, empty corridors, there are barely any objects around, and the little that is there are solely for use for progression.
>Fixed camera and 3D movement definitely aren't a good combination. The angles work when you're nailed to the ground, but allow up and down movement and it's horrible. Did I mention that every time there's a camera angle change, more enemies spawn?
>The bosses, oh god, they were the worst bulletsponges I've ever seen. It takes forever to kill them, and if you die you have to start all over again.

as long as you don't try to kill every zombie in the game you start amassing ammo. Harder difficulties change nothing but stuff you never had to care in the first place (ammo, enemy hp, taking more damage). Look, I had a blast as a kid playing it, but let's not pretend the game is some sort of masterpiece. It was above average at best.

>> No.5793429

>>5793414
Nobody plays it the first time and amasses ammo, avoiding all enemies and just wizzing through the game. Nobody just breezes through the game on higher difficulties. The game is held as a classic by many, many people. You aren't making a good argument.

because you're strawmanning me? I never said the game was bad, nor that it doesn't deserve being a classic. It's just not one of the best games ever like someone mentioned above. I even said is above average.

And maybe then it's just me, but either as leon or claire, i always saved ammo/stronger guns for bosses and lickers/strong monsters, assuming i couldnt just avoid them like zombies. You're only running out of ammo in this game if you go full brainlet trying to kill the monsters from all places. And that happens maybe on your first time playing it? How's that a good argument? At the end of the game i just had so much magnum ammo and acid rounds that i could use them exclusively on bosses, and still having a lot left after doing so.

I see people repeating this ad nauseam, but why is it one of the best games ever? The controls are terrible, the graphics aren’t all that interesting, the story and dialogue are cringy and the horror aspect is dated and not really effective anymore.

Not really but, thank you, I missed that post. It’s interesting why people go running for “it’s consensus!”, without providing any argument. Honestly, I don’t even mind these games at all, I just want somebody to explain why it’s one of the best ever.

I think Mother 3 is one of the best games ever, and if somebody asks me why, I could easily explain it. Why should it be so hard for somebody for Resident Hill?

>The controls are terrible
They're serviceable. REmake did a better job with them, but that was when vidya was largely in the refinement stage and innovation was already dead and buried.
>the graphics aren’t all that interesting
If you play it as intended on an SDTV over composite, the 2d and 3d blend to give you some pretty incredible graphics. If you're playing on an LCD, yeah it looks really rough.
>the story and dialogue are cringy
It's B-horror and it doesn't take itself too seriously. If you want "deep" horror for big brained niggers, that's what the SH trilogy is for.
>and the horror aspect is dated and not really effective anymore
It's not dated, you are. Children are scared of monster horror, adults aren't.

DC2 isn't streamlined, it's basically a different sort of game altogether. It's more like a fast paced arcade-y action game, the Mercenaries Mode in later RE games ripped it off moreorless. It triggers /vr/ for not being a straight RE clone.

It’s not that great. Poor enemy variety, weak set-pieces, the plot is also horribly misled and the biggest missed opportunity. The puzzles are simple enough to be boring but complex enough to be annoying. Areas are boring. Enemies respawn which ruins the Survival Horror aspect of tactical enemy elimination. Environments are boring uninspired lab spaces.

It’s just a pretty bad survival horror game on most fronts and usually derided I’m this board, but I guess contrarians are out here today.
