Gaming Corpse Party Question

[Its_just_Lou]

This game (games?) is listed as 'survival horror', but the vids on YouTube look to me like some sort of weird anime thing... ?

"Gun packing"....bugger OFF! Looks like Pokemon, dude.

 

[Maxtram]

the game its more like "Graphic Horror Novel RPG"

 

[Kouen Hasuki]

Thats probs the best summery of Corpse party I have heard yet

 

[Mythrix]

Not sure if I'd call this game a RPG though, even though the first game actually did have HP.

Spent all of Friday night playing through the rest of the game! It was quite a thrill, even though it definitely had more slower parts than the first game. After playing chapter 3 I got kinda uneasy about turning off the lights because I could kind of imagine Yoshie's face in the dark, and the night after playing chapter 4 I had some slight trouble falling asleep... It's awesome! xD Got all the endings except for one Wrong End in Chapter 6 that I haven't managed to find yet.

I feel like there was even more detailed descriptions of gory deaths in this game than the previous, which already had plenty... But I also felt that chapter 5-7 seemed less about scares and more about character development/relations (+gore). Or maybe I'd just been playing the game too much by that point... Still, I think Chapter 5: Wrong End #5 might be one of my favorite endings. Also Chapter 7's True End.

Chapter 8 was like a collection of all the really bad ideas ever from horror movies and let's go and do them right now! It's like going through the first game didn't teach the main characters anything at all. Too bad I already got that ending spoiled by watching a YouTube clip way back when I had no idea that this game would ever get localized, because it is a great ("fun" huhu) surprise if you don't expect it. xP

Hmmm....It took me 49 minutes to get trough the intro, before I could actually start to move around and explore.....let's hope it get better.
Also, I can't help but feel that this type of game interface might have worked better on a touch screen....

Well I guess the PSP is a relic from the past at this point,let's be grateful of what we have here.

 

[Mythrix]

Yeah, touch screen controls would've been great!

It's dark outside and my living room light suddenly went out. My lamp is messing with my head.

Dude it was last gen, mean id understand if you was talking about the original Gameboy or something like the Atari 2600

I also didn't much think it needs touchscreen controls, to be fair a lot of what I played on DS could have been handled on one screen and hell some was just a GBA game with an extra screen that did nothing.

Having a 2nd touchscreen for menu's is always a waste in my opinion, when its actually used for something then it becomes interesting

Dude, are you out of your mind ?
Are we really having a discussion about the usefulness/innovation of the DS touch screen in 2013 ?

Are you saying that the DS is just a GBA with an extra, useless touch screen ? Is that why it sold millions and went to become the most successful system of all times ( up there with the PS2 ) ?
Have you ever played Professor Layton or the DS only Ace Attorney titles ? Or even 999 ? Or even Hotel Dusk ?
According to you, most of those games would have been fine on the GBA......way to go.

And the PSP is still quite a nice handled, the problem is, touch screen on mobile devices and handhelds have become the standard for the past 4 - 5 years.
Try to use a Samsung Galaxy S3 for a couple of months and then go back playing your PSP and tell me you don't miss the touch screen...
When I said is a relic from the past , I meant it with all due respect, but clearly the PSP misses a lot compared to what a modern handled / smart phone can offer.

Oh boy here we go. DS vs. PSP discussions once again.
I'd just like to say that THIS IS RETARDED. YES the PSP would be nice with a touch screen but you know what we call that? THE PS VITA.
Also ya know what else is nice with touch screens? EVERYTHING. Ya know why the PSP doesn't have a touch screen? They weren't as cheap to make back when it came out. It ain't a relic though. A relic would be the GBA or further back since that's 2 generations. The PSP is but only 1 back and is still a decent little machine.

 

[nryn99]

Kouen also had something right, there are some games that doesn't really NEED the touchscreen.
TWEWY needed the touchscreen, Pokemon didn't. I forgot how I played 999 but Ghost Trick was good with the touchscreen. Devil Survivor and Rune Factory could be played w/o touchscreen.

Reread my post and get back to me or to save you time "most of what I have played" there is plenty of software that didn't use the DS to its potential.
That wasn't even made to start a PSP vs DS debate but some people seem to think touchscreens make everything better. Given you seem to have that mentality its not shocking it hit a nerve.

also FYI I do actually have and use smartphones (iPhone 3GS and 4 hell even before that I was on Windows Mobile 5) too and I DO go back to the likes of the PSP / GBA and NO I do not miss the touch screen.

and since you like some examples! here you go New Super Mario Bros on the DS never needed a 2nd screen, all you did with it was menu navigation and get your reserve powerup, menu's could have just as easy been done on a D-Pad and the reserve item on a button.

I could highlight many more but I want to keep this on topic

Hey man, I don't intend to start another DS vs PSP war, we are a little late in the game for that

However, most of what you play is not equal to most of what the system offers in terms of games, so I take it as your personal opinion that the DS touchscreen is not quite as useful for you, as it is for me.
Feel free to disagree.

It all depends on what kind of games you are into.
Originally , I was merely stating that a game such as BoS, with it's first person perspective ( a change from the previous game ) might have benefited from optional touch screen controls.
How can not be good/efficient to tap anywhere on the screen to examine an object as opposed to scroll the cursor all the way across the room ?
Am I right or am I right ?
Again, feel free to disagree, but I suspect the majority of unbiased gamers are with me on this point.

My opinion, take it or leave it.
Also , I still play GBA.

Kouen also had something right, there are some games that doesn't really NEED the touchscreen.
TWEWY needed the touchscreen, Pokemon didn't. I forgot how I played 999 but Ghost Trick was good with the touchscreen. Devil Survivor and Rune Factory could be played w/o touchscreen.

He might be right, but not within the contest of this topic.
We are discussing BoS not New Super Mario Bros.

Hold on whilst i pick myself up from the floor after reading that first paragraph....Ace Attorney, you really went there huh? Tap Gyakuten Saiban into Google and knock yourself out....the simple fact is that many of those games would have worked on a GBA...it's always the gameplay that comes first and the interface that improves matters. For instance i love The Secret of Monkey Island....do i love it any less playing on my PSP using the nub? No, because it's a great game. This criticism of the PSP (again) seems more like you just dislike the game.

Arm73 you're notoriously anti Sony products...anti Vita, and it seems anti PSP. It doesn't have a touch screen but it doesn't need one. Does your PC need a touchscreen? Not really, and whilst it may add an extra dimension to your usage it's fine without it. Similarly would you like a proper D-Pad on a smartphone? Probably sometimes. Would you really want to play Ghost of Sparta on a touch screen?

You're making touch-screen's out to be essential for today's user...they're not, and heck, i don't own any touch screen devices so i must be a relic from the past?

Hey man, I love my PSP, in fact I'm playing it right now !
Also I named Ace Attorney DS series as opposed to Phoenix Wright / Gyakuten Saiban because I meant later installment of the series that made excellent use of the touch screen !

Again, if anybody missed it, that's my whole point of this conversation !
Peace

But that's why your point about touch screens is somewhat flawed. The game was enjoyable on the GBA, and had touch screen elements tacked on....the touch screen may have enhanced the game, but it didn't make or break it. Spin over to TWEWY (one of my favourite DS games) and without the touch interface the game wouldn't work....would it even be possible? Probably not with any fluidity.

The point of the topic was Corpse Party, and sure, whilst a touch screen might enhance things, it doesn't make the game WORSE for being on a system which DOESN'T HAVE THEM.

I see you guys are full of contradictions here, things CAN be better, therefore are worse of what it could be.
Acceptable, still enjoyable (I'm not denying it ) , but could be better !
That's my point and I stand by it.

It seems like I'm fighting with blinded fanboys, unwillingly started a war because I accidental made a poor choice of word ( relic ).
I gotta get out of here.

Go back to play my PSP.
Take care.
