Idk, there are so many choices...

>>12488528
I love both of these games, they're both super different (not even the same genre) but you should still start with PE1 so that the story of PE2 makes more sense.

There is no Parasite Eve 3. There is no Parasite Eve 3. Repeat after me: There is no Parasite Eve 3.

The 3rd Birthday

The movie

>>12488528
In this order:

>Resident Evil 1
>Resident Evil 2
>Final Fantasy 7
>Parasite Eve
>Resident Evil 3
>Parasite Eve 2
>Silent Hill

>>12488563
If you read the book first then half of the game you'll be going "wait isn't this just a retread of the book's plot" until it switches it up.

Parasite eve 2 is basically the true resident evil 3 with the true director of RE1 and the team behind RE2

>>12488661
that's like most Japanese adaptations from the '90s

>>12488659
Based

>>12488563
Honestly I would read the book after having played the games.

dont fall for the retards who say 2 is good. unless you think a mediocore RE clone is appealing.

>>12489463
Retard.

>>12489469
literally everything that makes PE1 a fun and unique classic game is removed in 2

Parasite eve 2 have the best bosses on any survival horror game i have ever played

>>12489497
>interesting story
Lolwhat, PE2 has a better story.
>gun customization
Stats autism is the least fun part of roleplaying games.
>urban setting
The first level is in LA lol, and Dryfield ensures the game still has plenty of Americana.
>great music
PE2's soundtrack is incredible. Gentle Rays is one of my favourite credits themes of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz8OtNL5BBo
>rpg elements:
PE2 has actual roleplaying since you have skill trees, and you really gotta pick and choose. PE1 meanwhile has linear progression that is basically scripted.
>great monster designs
PE2's monsters are great.
>ultimate weapons
>post game
??????????
PE2 has insane post-game content with extra modes, unlockable weapons, genuinely what are you talking about? Have you even played the game?

>>12489510
fair enough about post game, I forgot about all that because I havent played this turd since the 90s. and the gun system in 1 is clearly a lot more than "stats autism" that is just one part of it. the rest we will agree to disagree

>>12489527
>I haven't played this turd since the 90s
That would be impressive since the English version did not come out in the 90's.

>>12489530
sorry for not memorizing the release date of every game I played 30 years ago.

>>12489531
Why is a senile person trying to argue with me about games he has no fucking memory of? Where do you get off being confidently wrong?

>>12489497
>intuitive controls
Being filtered by tank controls is proof of retardation

>>12489543
everyone with a hint of taste knows PE2 was and is a massive disappointment, we knew it back then and we know it now. I'm sorry you're a shit eater with no standards.

Stop being a fucking retard.

Obviously with left when the curtain scene comes 28 minutes later and no FAQ can save switch to 2

I own them physically and only got like 10 minutes in before getting filtered by the gameplay. I'll go back one day.

>>12488528
Honestly I would start with the book, the first game picks up about ten minutes after it ends.

>>12489463
based, PE2 is a fucking disgrace and was made to appeal to RE normies which is why it has so many defenders

>>12488528
So whatever happened to this series? Why did they stop making them? I'm just assuming a licensing issue

>>12489996
Turns out there's quite a few things he doesn't remember about the game, so why should his shitposts be taken seriously?

>>12490618
The last game was made exclusive for the PSP, and it was called The 3rd Birthday. It was so badly written, its gameplay so awful, it killed it in its entirety.

>>12490719
Anon, the older you get, the faster time seems to go by. Parsing through 40+ years of memories and thinking a game released in 2000 (1999 in Japan if we're splitting hairs as you are), it's not a big fucking deal.
If you would like to be even more pedantic, the beginning and end of a decade is actually X1-X0, not X0-X9. So in both practical and technical terms, you're a retard. Hope this helps.

>>12488659
FF8 should go between PE1 and 2.

>>12491131
It was dead well before that. They called it the 3rd Birthday because no one gave a fuck about Parasite Eve.

>>12491145
>it's not a big fucking deal
It's not just the release date, as Anon said many, MANY abject falsehoods about the game. He's trying to argue about the postgame content the game allegedly doesn't have, so his posts should not be taken seriously.

>>12491825
what if i don’t take anyone seriously, anywhere, ever. the era of people being full of useful, accurate information is over. this now uncommon.

>>12491829
Clearly not because I was able to give useful, accurate information about PE2, while somebody with minimal recollection of the game writes polemics based on his hallucinations.

Probably the novel. And then the video games in release order.

>>12492503
>Probably the novel. And then the video games in release order.
this but the movie after the novel.

PE2 is better
combat is better, story is better, graphics are SO much better, that fucking intro blending into gameplay, chef's kiss
the beautiful menus, whoever designed that, i'll suck him off clean
harder difficulties from post game modes are real challenges
no grinding bullshit like chrysler building
fun weapons to use (which other games have a fucking gunblade?)
ATB system for battles is horrible, you just wait for your turn, just make it real time like 2

>>12493670
They're so different in gameplay and setting that comparing them is silly. I enjoyed the original, and still play through it occasionally. I liked the sequel for what it was, but it left a neutral impression on me. Don't hate it, it just doesn't appeal to me like the first one did.

>>12492503
The book is so different from the game that you should only read the book if you actually want to read the book. The game is an extremely loose sequel that is basically just the original draft for FF7

>>12488561
>but you should still start with PE1 so that the story of PE2 makes more sense.
Not even the story of PE1 really makes sense. Don't try to understand it, it's a fucking clusterfuck.

>>12495857
PE1's story makes plenty of sense, I don't know why millennials kept peddling for years that MGS and Square games and whatnot had confusing narratives.

>>12495876
Isn't Aya half-japanese or some shit? She looks as white as it gets though. The game is full of retarded stuff like this.

It's a bog standard trope. Anime and manga are filled with "domesticated" hafus who are part Nip. It's a vaguely fetishy, Japanese supremacy thing. Saw it all the time in KanColle doujins.

How is Brea even meant to be pronounced? I haven't played The 3rd Birthday so I don't know what the "official" pronunciation is.
>Bray-uh
This pronunciation would imply her dad is Hispanic, which is unlikely given her features.
>Bree-uh
Somewhat rare name in English but it exists
>Bray
If her dad hails from Cornwall, then it's probably pronounced like this.

>>12488659

>>12495889

Astounding.

>>12495916
It probably won't help you any that in Japanese her surname is ブレア.

I said she looks half-caste you fucking retard.

>>12496118
Man, her surname name is totally meant to be Blair.

The gun costumization on PE 1 is retarded. Who puts out a shoot 3 times modifier but it actually makes the damage divided by three?

>>12496181
it's closer to like 42% of the default, but yeah
you technically do more total damage, but each round becomes less efficient
3x is the sweetspot, but 2x is nearly as good and saves you a round
it's a goofy as hell system, but JRPGs often many thinga beyond my understanding

>>12496252
Getting the P8000 right at the end of the game felt like a slap to me who used a 3 shot rifle. Imagine being dumb enough to open yourself to attacks by using the slowest attack times 3, what a goof

>>12496268
yeah, it was very biased towards pistols and SMGs, unfortunately

your're too used to the balloon/pushup bra look

>>12490618
> I'm just assuming a licensing issue
You would be correct.

>>12495916
I always figured it was pronounced like tar pits since a lot of the production was done in LA.

>>12496418
Is even a port to PC out of the question too?

>>12496420
This is also how Japan pronounces those too. ラ・ブレア. Linguistics is funny.

>>12496171
Sorry, Ranjesh, I don't know what that means because I come from a white country without the concept of a caste system.

It tries to be continuation of the novel but in the end it barely has anything to do with the novel, nothing really matches
