As for the gameplay, it's almost as disappointing as the story being not only a departure from the seires but a tedious, awkward, grindy and mediocre shooter... but something about it is still satisfying to the lizard part of my brain. I will most likely revisit and make progress towards mastery.
But anyway, now I understand why many say that this Game killed the Parasite Eve saga.
With Aya and Maeda you mean Eva in Aya's body right? Cause the only thing that saves the game narrative wise is that Aya is still the same one of previous games and you see her only in the end game.
The fact that for 99% of the game you see this Eva in Aya's body but completely out of context in every scene yet the best soldier ever is extremely ridiculous.
Now as someone who still privilege the gameplay just slightly above the world building, even the gameplay is extremely counter to the previous games.
I will argue that if someone plays the game once at normal difficulty, it was actually a nice experience on the psp absolutely, but as you go to genocide you realize how everything is poorly balanced over sniping and granade launchers, and some events really want you to reach certain parametric thresolds to move on or you softlock yourself. The PE tree is not really that useful to meta once you get the skills you like and a decent percentage.
The previous games instead can entertain veterans of the games so much for how you can downlevel yourself, use basic weaponry even at genocide and still manage any encounter properly.
I have tons of games that disappointed me to the best, on first position i would put DMC 2 and right after it is 3rd Birthday for killing the world building, Eva character, which had lots of potential, is already smoked and also the gameplay loop is what it is, dramatic at higher difficulties though.
Being generous, even if you remove all of the Parasite Eve that is haphazardly strapped to this (which now that I think about it... it's literally just character names, isn't it? They never even mentioned mitochondria. I mean if I'm being pedantic I guess include the fact that it's Christmas Eve in New York, but holy crap, they really did just grab some royalty-free fanfic from a below-average high-schooler with head trauma and did find/replace on the names. Wow.), this plot is a giant pile of trash, with each scene barely connected to the last (if at all). The best this brain rot can hope to achieve is "inoffensive", but never entertaining or memorable. Doesn't help that, especially growing up with classics like Chrono Trigger, that when I see time travel in a plot it's basically shorthand for "yeah we didn't feel like fleshing this out" (also with amnesia), hate that crap.
But, I'm a masochist and despite it's shortcomings there is something about the gameplay I like (even if it's not a Parasite Eve game), so I''ll probably end up doing at least a hard playthrough eventually. When I do I'll see if ignoring any reference to the other games while going back over the story knowing the ending twist actually helps the plot in any way, but I doubt it. Sidenote: I hope that doesn't come across as super rude. Nothing wrong with enjoying trash, there's plenty of trash I love too :p
Absolutely, disappointment only depends on who feels it based on personal history and metrics of comparisons.
I really loved the PSP system, despite having loads of spin-offs from main title, there are so many exclusive spin-offs and side-projects there which are a real treat, something i totally never felt with this one.
@alienhuntinyeti
I don't think those last 2 minutes of Aya really damage her 2-games character, there's a lot of interpretation there aswell as the story itself is full of holes and forced conjectures.
Unluckly i'm not too aquainted with the english terms as i remember the world building with my local language otherwise i'd go a bit more in depth, but don't worry i enjoy reading people's impressions on the games they play.
I mastered it aswell as i did in my childhood cause i still like sometimes to take from my collection also games i really disliked. The approach of playing them knowing this of course is different but i had fun refreshing all the game content and fix in my head every off-putting line or event.
And I have to say, after having that realization that literally the only connection to this game and Parasite Eve is a few of the character names, it's really frustrating to realize that this game HAD to have come about by some executives slapping the Parasite Eve name on some game they were working on just to sell a few extra units. There's no way they actually wrote this story from the start with Aya Brea in mind.
But all that said, I have to say I really like your approach to crappy games. When I replay this, I'll go back through with "multiverse theory" in mind and treat the characters not as the ones I've come to know in the previous installments but as ones from a different universe entirely. Easy enough since that's already kind of a theme anyways, what with the time travel and people disappearing from the universe and whatnot. Will help with my previous sentiment of seperating the PE from the plot to try and improve it too.
Ideally you have to play at Insane difficulty for an A rank, an other A rank is if you die 0 times, and an other A rank is for the least amount of soldier deaths, which varies depending on the episode, should range between 0 and 10, but i remember Episode 0 and 1 need to be almost deathless in that regard aswell.
If you want AAA you need all of them in place at the same try.
thanks for the reply! do you know how to get insane mode? i assume i have to beat the game on hard mode first right
You beat the game at the highest difficulty available to unlock the next hardest one, you will have to beat Hard, then Deadly, then Insane.
However do not rush it by going on Hard immediately, i would personally suggest you to work your way from Easy and moving forward, that's because you will slowly level up your character with levels, with Parasite Energy and with weaponry, to handle better the hardest difficulties.
Otherwise your first run at Hard will be way harder than needed and if you go for full mastery, you still want to play easy and normal anyway, so better at first than later.
Take the game slowly as it's very grindy and insane difficulty requires a very well built character and understanding of which weapons will be most effective for each stage.
