Darque Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I need a new game... until then.. time for Bloodlines round 3.
Haitoku Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I need a new game... until then.. time for Bloodlines round 3. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Did you ever play Parasite Eve 2? It's pretty much early Resident Evil with magic powers.

Dark_Raven Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 We are not in the mood to play, but we were playing IWD and Bloodlines. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Llyranor Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Doesn't Parasite Eve play somewhat like Vagrant Story? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Darque Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Doesn't Parasite Eve play somewhat like Vagrant Story? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A little, yeah.
Calax Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 We are not in the mood to play, but we were playing IWD and Bloodlines. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When did we switch to the third person? Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Haitoku Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Haha... this game is so much like Resident Evil, it's amazing how Capcom didn't sue Squaresoft. Everything is just so damn similar, even the item storing method (though I makes a bit more sense in this game). Very fun so far though.

But at that point Survival Horror was it's own Genre... and as I recall Capcom didn't even invent it.

Darque Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Yeah, I remember playing Crypt of Medea on the Apple ][, back in 1984 ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Survival horror" started with Alone in the Dark.
metadigital Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 I can tell you want to play it now ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Darque Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Nope, I've gone back to Bloodlines Malkavians are hilarious
Oerwinde Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Alone in the Dark is classic <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember hating that game because I could never survive the first room. I think I managed to get out without being killed on like my 14th try. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

But at that point Survival Horror was it's own Genre... and as I recall Capcom didn't even invent it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I realize Survival Horror games were pretty damn stagnant gameplay wise awhile back. Just some of the similarities are incredible... You shoot by pressing Square to take aim and L1 to fire... You store you items in the same kind of magical crate (though, this one doesn't magicly travel everywhere)... Instead of finding people mutating into zombies in some fictional town in the middle of nowhere, you find people mutating into monsters in a real town (in a fictional situation) in the middle of nowhere. I just find it really funny. So far though, this is the little RE clone that I wish I had played a long time ago. It's such a good game so far. The story is quiet good (probably being enhanced for me because I'm playing it straight after PE), the characters a quiet a bit more realistic (Assuming you can swallow the hole magic mitochondria thing) the customization is way beyond anything RE did (until 4 anyways) and you can really take your pick on how you want to play. There is plenty of ammo if you want to kill everything in sight or you can take the stealth route and avoid (most) combat. EDIT - The only real thing that it doesn't have is that survival aspect of RE... Since your magic can keep you alive those tense moments aren't there.... Edited June 29, 2006 by Haitoku
alanschu Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I never did finish up the original Parasite Eve, but I did enjoy it.
SteveThaiBinh Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I've just finished the main quest in Oblivion as a melee fighter - he did the Fighter's Guild as well, so I'm going to test the replayability of this game by starting again as a magic user character. Shame the main story isn't a little more compelling. Don't get me wrong, it's an improvement on Morrowind, but still... I've tried to replay Bloodlines a few times, but can't really get back into it. I played through three or four times when I first got it, so maybe I need to wait another year or two until it feels fresh. I'd really love to be able to take a character through who was skilled in guns and never needed to use melee. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
