Comment on Dusting off the old PS2

Heck yeah, Parasite Eve recognition! It’s a fantastic RPG and one of the more unique ones thanks to its setting and gameplay - I wish later games kept the latter at least. If you didn’t play PE2 it might also be worth a shot. It’s a bit different, both in terms of story and gameplay, but it’s still a solid and enjoyable title.
I loved PE1, but had trouble getting into PE2.
For those who may not know, the game was made to be a sequel to a book with the same name.
My understanding is that the book was wildly famous in Japan, but don’t make a big international splash.
I once found a used English copy on Amazon for $200.
So, just pickup the ebook. I started to read it, but got busy with my wedding and never finished it. I need to give it another go.
Yeah, PE2 can be like that. I vastly prefer the first one as well but I also think that the sequel isn’t bad, it’s just not necessarily what I’d like from a follow up. That’s why I think it’s worth suggesting anyway - some people might find it to be more enjoyable than I did.
I think that game suffers as it is not as good as the first one. But it was not a bad game, I guess. I think I just had high expectations. Maybe it would have been better if it was marketed as a sequel to PE1
It was originally developed as a spinoff right? I recall watching a video about PE2, but the game didn’t interest me like the first one
Wait, it wasn’t? It’s a genuine question as I got into the series way past its prime.

Parasite Eve was an amazing game. Blew my mind my first play through. Parasite Eve and Final Fantasy 7 & 8…a great time for gaming
