Refunct

Batty told me to look at this game in plug, and god damn it's beautiful. It's only 3 bucks on Steam, and even if it were 7 or 8, I'd probably buy it. It's meant to be played if you don't know what else to play and you want a relaxing experience. The music on top of the breathtakingly beautiful graphics and simple mechanics make this an incredible purchase. Very glad to have picked this up.

God damn it. I was trying to record this for a Let's Play but the recording was choppy to the point of being unusable. I've altered some settings on my recording software and will try again tomorrow night, but I don't have high hopes that it'll work.

Which really pisses me off cause I've been looking for a horror game for a Let's Play that would give you all some hilarious footage of my freaking out, and this ****ing delivered. You all missed out on my wide-eyed looks of terror, nervous babbling, and even one instance of what I can only describe as cursing in tongues. Dino Crisis is basically a PS1 Resident Evil clone, but with dinosaurs, and I feel confident in saying that velociraptors are far scarier than zombies. Even 30 minutes after stopping the game I could still feel the adrenaline rush.

So if you dig survival horror, dinosaurs, tank controls, and Resident Evil then you should really play the **** out of this game. I know I will, even if I can't get the recording to actually work.

Do you have a N64 Emulator? If so you should get Turok and play that.

Yeah, Dino Crisis is the shit. It was a nice experiment for Capcom, with full 3-D environments rather than pre-rendered backgrounds and enemies that could follow you through doors. If I remember correctly, the biggest difference between it and Resident Evil is that it has less of an emphasis on puzzles and more on key collecting. You've got regular keys, key cards, key chips, and also DDK disc keys, of which you'll need to find specific pairs to open the door they're made for, and then crack a cryptographic code. Jesus christ, I still have post-traumatic flashbacks to spending hours looking for the DDK disc that I need to complete the pair, while a bunch of raptors keep hissing at me and throwing me around. Good times.

If you haven't already, you should try Dino Crisis 2. It's more of a run and gun action game than a survival horror, but it's still easily one of the most fun games on the PSX. The pre-rendered backgrounds still look great (now that I think about it, it's kind of funny that Capcom gave the survival horror first game 3D backgrounds, and gave the action packed sequel pre-rendered ones. Can't help but feel like they got it backwards. :laughing:)

I've checked some out, but I hear most of them are crap and no longer in development. And I'm sure that if PS1 emulators take too much processing power along with the PCU-heavy recording software, then N64 wouldn't be any better. Before a second monitor, and before better internet, I need a computer that can actually handle this ****.

THEY FOLLOW YOU THROUGH ****ING DOORS?!?!?!?! NONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not all of them, but yeah, there are a few raptors that can follow you through doors. Have fun finding out which ones. :thumb:

Man, that first raptor had me shaking, and I stood my ground, used most of my bullets, and probably lost most of my health, but I didn't have to worry about him anymore. I now figure I should have just run, but now I gotta worry that he's gonna follow me through the gates of dinosaur hell? **** that ****.

I've had the Mass Effect trilogy for ages, but would always stop midway through the first one (mostly because of the god damn Mako). I finally plowed through that one and am now about 40 hours into Mass Effect 2...wow, what a better game.

Maybe some spoilers below?

Even the first one had a great story system...this is the only game where I ended up regretting some of my choices. I wanted my guy to be slightly traumatized from his experience on akuze where he was the only survivor of a thresher maw attack - this also meant I was very distrustful of Cerberus in ME2 since they were behind it. Anyway, I also wanted my guy to be very open with all alien races, so I berated Ashley for being a racist bitch and spent the whole game trying to convince people humans were alright. Well, it came down to saving the council or not and I felt like the damn Reaper was more important, so I let them die. The irony of trying to not be a racist only to be accused of being the most racist ass hole ever in ME2 stung a bit. That's the first time that ever happened to me in a game.

Anyway, I love this stuff and I'm sure I'll be chomping at the bit for Andromeda once I wrap up the trilogy.
