Leon S. Kennedy overslept on his first day as a police officer. That was enough qualification to become part of the Secret Service.

Will Sebastian have the same marvelous haircut and killer dialogue as Leon Sex Kennedy? These are the hard hitting questions journos are afraid to ask #gamergate

Oh yeah if you like Resident Evil you might want to check out the animated movies they've been doing. They feel like extended cutscenes of the games, and that's a good thing. Certainly better than whatever Paul W.S. Anderson is cooking up.

I would give the animated movies a pass, Degeneration was loving awful even for a Resident Evil movie. Seriously, just play the games, they all have better plots, even Zero.

The movies all own from 3 and on because they just said gently caress it and made them as ridiculous as possible. Apocalypse and the original are horrible because they tried to be serious.

Watching Aliens and talking about AVP2 earlier in the thread has got me reminiscing about how it was basically the perfect game in terms of horror. The Marine singleplayer campaign was terrifying and it even managed to have scary multiplayer. There was a map mode called Evac where there were two teams--usually Marines and Aliens. The Marines had to get to an evac point on the map and the Aliens had to stop them. A few things made this really cool--the Aliens got unlimited lives but were on a pretty long respawn timer and started in random locations whereas the Marines got a fixed number of lives but respawned instantly all in the same spot and generally had an easier job to do. This served to make the game very, very scary--you'd start out with a squad of five other Marines slowly creeping through the map picking off Aliens one at a time until they got lucky and snagged a straggler or grouped up. Marines got exponentially more powerful in groups due to their firepower and were very vulnerable alone because of how slow they were so respawning and trying to catch up to the group was a really tense experience. Eventually the squad would totally deteriorate and it would devolve into every man for himself making a mad dash for the evac point, where you had to survive for a moment while an announcement made the Aliens aware that you were about to win. Being the last man standing waiting for a small army of slavering Aliens to burst into the drop zone, keeping your head on a swivel trying to make sure nothing could sneak up on you is among the scariest moments I've ever had in any entertainment medium. God that game owned so hard. Well balanced (on servers that took certain weapons out) 3-way asymmetrical multiplayer like that has never been done since as far as I know, and you certainly don't see FPS campaign modes like that anymore. You had ten or so hours each of the Marine, basically a survival horror experience, the Alien, the typical survival horror experience but backward, and the Predator which was essentially a spaghetti Western revenge drama but with wristblades and dreadlocks instead of six-shooters and ten-gallon hats.

They boosted the Predator considerably in the second one by giving him infinite recharge. In the first one, if you ran out of juice, you faced real terror as infinite mobs kept coming from all directions.

AVP's first marine level scared the gently caress out of me and there wasn't even a single thing that could hurt you. The whole time you were waiting for a scare that never came. It was brilliant.Sharzak posted:God that game owned so hard.

Believe it or not, the newest AVP had really fun multiplayer.

He's like Serious Sam who just showed up at the army in a tshirt and shades. Nobody wants to say anything because he's really cool and might have sex with their mothers if they do.

For whatever reason Green Man Gaming is selling The Evil Within packaged with its season pass for $65 USD, and combined with the 20% coupon they're running you can save nearly thirty bucks over what those would run on Steam. Not a bad deal if you were interested in buying that game.

Honest Thief posted:Oh? I'll give this a try Just a few hints: Always keep a count of how many people there are. Always keep a save before you do something. If someone fails killing themselves the first time, they WILL try again. See if there's something you can do about that. The place isn't just testing people based on what they've done inside the pyramid. In the last section, get 4 members up to at least level 7.

Speaking of which, there was a PC-98 detective game of this ilk where you had to stop a serial killer from getting to the other characters. I just remember it being unusual because the portraits for the characters were all just straight up photographs, like not traced pixel art they just used photos of folks dressed like normal, then dead, saved, etc. for the ways the game would play out.

No, I tried the help us remember threads a while ago but no help and due to the difficulty of finding English language PC-98 support of any kind it's been extremely difficult to research. I still have to practice my French and try asking around Tokugawa Corporate and such.

I have an account there - there's where I posted my translation for a X68000 game... Should be able to find what you're looking for there. Let me know if you find out - I'm always a sucker for these kind of games.

This one involves a fight that seems impossible. I'm considering a full restart and a bit of grinding to get everyone some decent stats. The folks already had good levels but this thing hits like a truck.

The only thing I can think of with realistic portraits that's as old as the PC-98 is TurboCD version of J.B. Harold.

You got both events correct, those are the ones who bit it. For the second one I get forced into a fight so I think I need to do something beforehand. Or use a skill that normally does jack? Will see what I can figure out.

Finally jumped on the Silent Hill wagon, plowed through the first one in about 7 hours and really enjoyed it, and now I'm stuck at the final boss in 3 (wanted to finish that story before going into 2) because apparently SH3 just wants me to hate it for some reason. I like the story and the game play well enough, but seriously that first three hours of game where you're not even in Silent Hill was really tedious at times (looking at you subway station) but it kinda makes up for it by giving you a katana and a loving maul! Looking forward to playing through the rest of the franchise and likely wanting to slit my wrists with the disc for Homecoming. I'm debating if I want to jump into Clock Tower after I finish the SH games or go with Fatal Frame or Siren as I have the first two FF games and the original Siren on my HD and I picked up CT3 for cheap off amazon a few weeks ago.

^I like all three of those properties so you're good any way you choose. Just include Haunting Ground into Clock Tower canon. As far as Silent Hill goes I honestly think Origins is the worst SH. The 'murrican Silent Hills I think get unduly hated. Homecoming was fine.

Clock Tower 3 is absolutely awful, I'd return it if I was you. The first game is pretty alright, though, you can run it on an SNES emulator pretty easily.

Can you guys suggest any decent LPs of Fatal Frame? I don't have a Playstation unfortunately, so I'm unable to play them first hand.
