Dino Crisis
Well, finally I can tick this off the backlog!

I enjoyed it for the most part but it's not got anything on the PS1 Resident Evil trilogy (Besides Regina, who I think makes most of the PS1 RE cast look like emotionless blocks of wood), I like the idea of it, it's a real survival horror, just not the execution so much.

It has the least memorable level design by far, some really unfun and convoluted puzzle design and extremely limited enemy variety…by which I mean there's really just Raptors for the exploration part of the game, no dino equivalent to Dogs, Spiders, Lickers, Hunters etc. I know I played this game blind but the level design in this is so clinical and soulless it doesn't really attach itself to my memories of the game, no one is going to say 'Man I love the facility from Dino Crisis man!' but toss out one of the lesser liked RE games even like Code Veronica and RE0 and you can practically feel the Prison and Train reconstruct itself inside your head. And Raptors are much more aggressive than zombies but to actually engage with them is kind of boring, you just put them to sleep or go around them, effectively making them kind of unmemorable despite the fact that they can follow you into rooms. This makes it feel more of a puzzle simulator at time, in a game where it doesn't record any files or memos and every file or memo might be integral to solving the puzzles…

I like Dino Crisis 2 but I really wish the sequel to DC1 was a more polished version of the concept of 'Survival Horror with Dinosaurs' instead of 'RE4 in 3rd person' that DC2 became. I dunno if I'll play that next, I kinda' want to but I should probably play something new again, it's definitely the better game anyway.

Why is a Pteranodon harassing me in in Dino Crisis it's not even a fucking dinosaur! Also it didn't want to eat me it just tried to drop me into a giant ventilation fan, just a massive psychopath for the love of the game

This is certainly interesting to play now because when I first played this I thought the Zombies days were done, this was the new shit right here and the Raptors are indeed more threatening than a Zombie, but I think people want the Zombies more because they're just threatening enough but not too much that blowing their head off isn't satisfying, you can't decapitate a Raptor with a Shotgun in this but I don't think it'd be nearly as cool if you could anyway.

So yeah, maybe that's why they never took over, they're kinda TOO good? DC2 pivots to you literally combo killing them, honestly in a Resi 4 sort of way this could be sick if brought back. Still excited for the horror Dinosaur game we saw at one of those gaming shows a while back

They just announced the DLC for this, the final wave of such being stories for all the characters who had their routes cut…like this game isn't crazy big enough already! I haven't seen the trailer but I doubt they're giving them their full on routes back right? Some people are already mad that they cut the routes and are now selling them back to us….

Metaphor was and is great, technically their best game but I will shill Persona 5 until I die!!!!

Dino Crisis 1 is a lot harder than the classic Resident Evil games so far and a LOT harder than Dino Crisis 2, which is extremely brainless action. (good game though)

It's doing things its own way which is fine but it feels a bit clunky in some areas, not being able to see my own health is crazy.
