Title: Playing through D2 and it's better than I thought
Post by: Mondain on May 27, 2008, 01:34:41 AM

I'm nearly done with it. This is like the last Dreamcast game I wanted to play before permanently putting the system away.

Sure it's thin on gameplay, sure the random FPS battles where you can't move get repetitive, sure it's nagging to see a long animation for all the mundane moves that Laura does, and sure the game is ridiculously easy and impossible to lose when you hunt enough animals, but despite all that it's a really enjoyable ride.

It's like a weird David Cronenberg film set in the arctic. Sure most of the plot doesn't make sense, but b horror movies don't have to make too much of it do they?

The boss battles are genuinely creepy. The atmosphere is of a very high quality. The cast of characters is memorable. The game still looks surprisingly smooth and clean to this day. The hunting is pretty fun and addictive. The game has mature themes and deals with them in a way that's never really seen in videogames.

I only wonder how come Laura can shoot as many disformed monsters with her submachine gun as she wants and she never runs out of clips. Also she apparently has no problem going out in the desolate canadian arctic at like -25 Celsius degrees with only a red blouse on.

It was worth the fourteen bucks. I also got Ogre Battle 64 for 7 dollars.

D2 is garbage, D destroys this and shits on it and farts on it and spews menstrual blood all over it from Laura's clit

D does > D2; even with all the slow loading sequences

All I remember was something involving a tentacle and hunting deer

btw, the creator of D2 said he was making a game for Wii. Does that make you really mad, Mondain? You gonna cry?

of course I knew, if this is true it's the only Wee-Wee game I want apart from hypothetical Atlus R&D 1 stuff
