    Default Dino Crisis (Series)

    Who here has played Dino Crisis?

    I own the first game and rented the second one a long time ago. Never did get around to playing the third. I thought the first one was too much of a Resident Evil copycat, and I don't mean just in gameplay mechanics. I mean, you could predict certain turn of events in the story if you played the first Resident Evil game and that's kind of bad storytelling in my mind. Rehashing is a no-no. Solid voice acting work, though. I love that Regina is voiced by the English voice over of Sailor Venus. I found the second one to be an improvement, even if the T-Rex bit felt like a Nemesis rehashing.

    Discuss.

    The first one definitely is just Resident Evil with dinosaurs and I never bothered to finish the first because of it. Dino Crisis 2 I did enjoy. It wasn't a RE2 clone despite what my friend said. It emphasizes combat more and has weapon upgrades. It does share bad voice acting like the old ones do, but it was a nice change of pace. I' liked the premise of the story, but the execution was poor. I overall thought it was decent so I'd play it again.

    Did you ever play the third? It was released in 2003 on the Xbox and set in the future. I was kind of interested in checking it out some day. I wouldn't mind having 2 and 3 just to have the whole collection. Not sure about the spinoff.

    Dino Crisis 3

    Probably doesn't help that it was on Xbox. I know a lot of people who paid more attention to the PS2 and GameCube around this time.

    I've never finished a Resident Evil game. I believe I beat Dino Crisis which, yes, is just RE + Raptors. Regina should make a cameo in a fighting game or something.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    How Regina has not made an appearance in Capcom vs. Marvel is beyond me. Then again, I don't think Dino Crisis ever did catch on.

    I remember reading the guidebook and being legitimately surprised that the commander didn't betray the group given all the RE plot elements already featured in the game.
