I was thinking sadly about days gone by when Dino Crisis 2 was around....I was a Resident Evil junkie (well still am) and was intrigued. I played Dino Crisis and it had dinosaurs but was too slow paced for my liking. But the second game was AWESOME. The pace, graphics at the time, storyline, dinosaurs....everything. Gigantasaurus. everything. Like Bioshock, it was haunting in the way it tdepicted a community and civilisation in ruins was awesome, and the final twists and ending were some of my favourites. It seemed to promise a direct sequel...I couldn't wait.

Then Dino Crisis 3 came along. When I first read it would be set on a space station, alarm bells rung. 'Dinosaurs in space???wtf???'. It seemed as if it was doomed already, not to mention it wasn't even a direct sequel to the cliffhanger of 2. I prayed it wouldn't suck. God ignored me. It's one of the worst games I have ever played, and probably killed a once great franchise (the second game is pure classic gaming). I don't know how it went so wrong.

The sad thing is DMC, a lame ass franchise that keeps doing the same thing, is still going strong while DC remains dead. so friends, raise a glass in honor for the death of dc, and to the memory of the beautiful dino crisis 2.

Actually DC2 is one of the best games ever and I still have it.


:up:

You rock.

It had so much variety....one minute you were shooting sea dinos from a sub, running from triceratops, gunning down dinos, fighting gigantic monsters that eats a t rex like a malteaser...and like I said, the final revelation of where they really are...wow.

fantastic game.

How they got it so wrong with 3 is just really one of the mysteries of life I will never understand :(

They could have made it like an expansion pack of the second one and it would have been 10,322,133,244,664,334,432 times better :(
 
Dino Crisis 1 & 2 were completely awesome, I wish I still had them. :(

Let's face it gams, they could have **** on a disc and smeared it and it would have been better than DC3 :D
 
Yeah Dino Crisis 3 wasn't that good. You didn't even play as Regina. That's what disappointed me the most about this game.

Wouldn't it have to not suck in the first place in order for that not to be a contradiction in terms?

I think so.

The entire RE series is crap. Dinocrisis is what you get when you throw Jurassic park and RE in a blender. Dinosauers covered in s**t. :up:

Wow,.... you think RE is crap? I really have nothing to say to that. In fact I am holding my tongue on a lot of things I want to say lol.

I think you will find most people who played DC2 hail it as a classic, so there you go :up:

Two things I love: dinosaurs and zombies. I believe(ed) that the very prescence of either monster would save anything. That was untill I saw house of the dead for zombies, and played dino crisis 3. I love dinosaurs. I love space. I do not, however, love dinosaurs in space. It was a bad iidea from the start, and here's why:

the plot has almost NOTHING to do with the series. Its set like 400 yrs in the future (I don't know how it ends, I took it back nearly instantly after a few days). It's not even real dinosaurs, more like genetically modified clones (not like JP, more like skinless, mutated versions).

I'm not someone who usually moans about camera problems, since most of the time cameras other people see as bad (ie predator) I have no problem with. But it had the worst camer ever. Say you had to jump to a plat form, it went to a camera angle where it was IMPOSSIBLE to see where you were jumping to. That's not even the worst part....that particular camera only kicked in once you had started the jump. The most frustraiting and disorientating camera ever in games. Not to mention it didnt let you see the enemies till they were chomping you to bits.


If I can describe it to you, its like playing a game where all the controls have been inverted, then covered in a thick layer of tarr to make it that much harder.

It's spectacularly messy, a game of such catastrophic proportions it was rumoured to cause Naustradamus' death when he saw visions of it.


The best game with dinosaurs recently was King Kong which rocked, and I can't wait for next gen Turok :up:

I also loved the arena mode on DC2....hell I wish I still had a psone memory card. I still have the game but can't save it :(

The sytle of game isn't totally useless just that the whole RE story line and characters are BS. DC is just RE but with Dinos instead of zombies and mutants. Onimusha, which uses the identical style, however is teh coolz.
 
I loved Dino Crisis 2. I used to play it evvvery day, there was just something so great about its simplicity, and it was very intense some times. I hope they eventually make a true sequel to it. I wanna know what happend to Dylan and whatnot. :(

Please never speak in my presence again :D


But Onimusha being better than both RE and DC did make me laugh a lot so thanks for that :up:
 
Sorry it's a scientifical (I decided to talk like an emo b**ch) fact that Sengoku Jidai>Crap ass horror movies and thrillers.



Now if you'll excuse me I've got to go put on a Good Charlotte CD and cry about how the world doesn't understand me and how Im' too much of a ***** b**ch to be a goth.

Emo, goth...is there a difference? :confused: :D
 
One type writes manly songs about murdering your girlfriend. The other pansy songs about being a teenager. You decide.

They both wear make up and ***** a lot. Sounds pretty pansy either way.
 
Goths write songs about how great it is to be in a bigamous relationship (IE one man 2 women). Emo b**ches write about how they can't keep a woman for more than 5 minutes.

Lol like goths would know. Maybe 3 women, or 3 men (not that there's anything wrong if you're that way inclined). But they are both branches of the same pansy tree :o
