Does anyone miss this in many old games?
Particularly in survival horror.
Usually is a good way to get info on the surroundings or get to see what the protagonist perceives.

Parasite Eve 2 is my favorite one for this, it fleshes out the story a lot which is good because it's pretty damn boring otherwise.

>>11886997
Fuck you! PE2 rocks.

I read a cool post on here once (I think) about how Leon in RE4 says/notices a lot of autistic stuff about architectural details, to a degree that you can tell one of the writers is autistically into architecture. I like that type of flavor for characterization, even when it's some random arbitrary interest like that.
I like this type of stuff in general though for sure; same with audio logs you find around the place, or emails in Deus Ex or something. When it's in a game I'm enjoying, i cannot get enough of it tbqh

/vg/ perhaps? https://arch.b4k.dev/vg/thread/466462082/#466558323

>Leon inspects 6 pixels that vaguely resemble a can of soup
>"Been a while since I had soup...no time for that now"

That's some bad grammar in those screenshots.

>>11887056
>Deus Ex

I'm replaying at the moment - there are so many incidental conversations that you overhear from different characters covering deep philosophy and genetics.

Doesn't matter, is in a full retail priced game. Where's your full retail priced game?

>>11887620
PSN Store.

Kinda related, but I also enjoyed noticing how someone involved in MGS 1 and 2 either worked for a long time in a warehouse kind of environment or is obsessed with them due to the design of certain areas and the wierd obsession with shipping and industrial components and pipes and shit.

Early games of the PS1 era were translated by a Japanese guy or done 'in-house' or sent to a third party, sometimes with no credit even given. Mikami also supervised and told them how he wanted it, despite barely knowing English. That's why it's so kino.

>>11887518
Only issue I see here is "mentioned about"
There's some clumsy wording otherwise but I see no other outright errors

>>11887740
It could be tightened up a lot.
>It's a pile of reports and records, mostly about dinosaur-caused damages. One of the reports mentions a dinosaur annihilation plan which ended in disaster.

Reminder that the only way to find out that Jill has an unnamed boyfriend and hence the reason she and Chris relationship ended up platonic is by checking her desk.
Something Remakefags will never know.

>Something Remakefags will never know
It's actually still in the remake but they changed the photo of her boyfriend to a dog

Mgs2 was my first mgs game and a big reason I liked it so much is i just thought the industrial areas were cool and fun to explore. I didn’t get the same feeling from what I played of mgs 3 and dropped it which I regret. But it was specifically me disliking jungle levels and me liking the attention to detail everywhere in mgs2.

>>11888365
But without contextual text its just that a picture.
God forbid Jill has an heterosexual relationship with a human.

>>11888365
Jill is a white woman after all.

>>11888365
Jill is a based dogfucker

>>11886980 (OP)
I miss it a lot, yeah. I love inspecting shit and seeing the character's thoughts.

everyone in this thread owes it to themselves to play some point and click adventure games.

>>11888376
Yeah the environments (and boss fights) are what brought down 3-5 whereas the environments and limits of 1 and 2 had both amazing atmosphere and perfect gameplay

>>11888818
I have played more Sierra games than you

Tighter isn't always better when it comes to writing, remember its supposed to sound like its coming from someone's mind. Does the mind always send words out neat and tidy and optimized? I don't even mind the grammar error. It humanizes it

>>11890085
>Does the mind always send words out neat and tidy and optimized?
Mine does.

>>11890089
Well I wouldn't imagine you're the type of person to be the protagonist of a action survival dinosaur game

>>11888346
So was he from the neighboring town? Or did he die in Racoon City and Jill didn't give a fuck?

>>11889937
But 2's boss fights suck major balls

>>11888818
>>11889961
Don’t fight. Same team.

>>11890161
Gonna have to explain your POV on this one, because to me, on Extreme 2 has some of the best, if not the best ever to me.

>>11890140
We don't get more context.
She likely warned him because she already sniffed shit from Umbrella.
For all we know she is getting plapped by him rn.

>>11890256
If you have a picture of someone other than your children on you then it most likely means you don't see them everyday

>>11886980 (OP)
I remember in Silent Hill Origins, protag would comment "Just some dirty clothes in washing machine"
They were however drenched in blood. And this is canon.

>>11890262
So outside racoon? Possible I guess. Would be a sweet reunion between them after she is saved by Chris.
He has now an immortal combat wife.
