>Sega outsources good arcade shooter series to shit devs who've only made shovel ware tier shooters

>Ends up being the worst in the series

>"Cinematic" bosses who lose HP even if you fuck up hitting their weak points enough

>"Jump scares" that are just instant damage unless you were already holding shoot in an exact spot

>Civilians over and over run in front of the camera mid set piece taking up a majority of the screen with life penalty for hitting them (Your guns are automatic BTW so good luck not hitting them when they just pop in)

>Cabinet is shit so there'll be no good videos of someone standing while duel wielding guns and styling

>Cabinet in general is plain uncomfortable to sit in if you're bigger then an average manlet

>enemies have no visual damage until they die something even the original HOTD could do

>bloom out the ass to ensure you can't' see shit

>Final boss is cinematic for so much you've almost won when the fight actually starts

WTF man I loved these games, how the fuck could sega let this happen.

If it's an arcade exclusive, don't expect them to treat it any better than the Daytona "3" shipwreck.

4 is super easy and the final boss is literally a copy paste of a regular boss in 3, the only good part of that game is in the PS3 version they added an extra chapter where you fight the magician who's a hard fight to do wrong. Also in my EXP this was almost always broken so the one time I found a machine working I played as both P1 and P2 and blazed it in 4 credits first try.

Probably the main wallet friendly of the series on the first time.

Overkill is just a joke, it's a fun old time if you enjoy campy horror movies but you should apply a self challenge to beat every level in one continue since the only penalty for dying is losing half your score. On PC there's a typing of the dead overkill which is easy to mod to change the vocab of the game which is something fun to look into.

House of the Dead was only good as a precursor to the Typing of the Dead.

I played it at a gameworks a year or two ago. It was terrible. Apparently modern horror game devs think that "Loud = Scary" when it's just fucking annoying. Even the latest "It" movie I happened to see at the behest of my best friends was full of the same copy and pasted jumpscares. We'll never get a movie like Jacob's Ladder again cause focus groups think it's "unsafe"

Fuck this gay Earth - but not completely. I may sound like I've been lost to the pits of despair, but my resolve has never been greater. If only I had the funds and resources, I'd make my own horror movie/video game.

Overkill really wasn't very inspired in terms of its game design, but I enjoyed it, playing through Typing of the Dead: Overkill. The difference between the original (Typing of the Dead, that is) and Overkill is night and day, though.

I'm still mourning how difficult it is to find a Jurassic Park 2 cabinet. I once beat the entire game on one continue and as far as I'm concerned that's when my vidya career peaked.

Regarding Daytona "3", it's because they themselves don't seem quite proud of it. The fact they dropped the "3" from the title around release date, after having demoed it in a few places as Daytona 3, could serve as a warning. And indeed, from what I've heard, the game plays like shit, there's no gear drifting like in the originals, its music is directly ripped from Daytona USA 2001, new tracks are just retooled mirror versions of classic ones… They also marketed it as a game involving some AM2 members who worked in the original game. Lie. Made in China.

If they want to build a respectable image again, they'd better don't go around showcasing stuff like this.

Oof, really? I have a place that has about 4 or 5 of these cabinets.

On a related note, the Terminator game that came out is the only half decent one, and that came out in fucking 2011/2012. I have yet to find more than 1 with issues like this. Aliens game sucks, no fucking surprise. It's like the people who used to make these cabinets don't anymore because game passion is dead or something.

When companies make money, everyone else is at a loss.

The first game made money for Sega. Then, Sega turned it into a (((franchise))), making it worse until the current state.

Never give money to any company.

If a game is good, the best thing for it is to fail commercially, so it won't be turned into a shit franchise and ruined by corporate greed.

That wasn't always true, back in the 8/16 bit days sequels would almost always be improvements on the original and Classics in their own right. Just like the original Mega and Castlevania trilogies.

Why didn't they just let the Overkill developers try their hand again? Overkill did so many things right, all it needed was some harder work on the bosses.

Overkill is fun as a game, but for exploitation is a fucking masterpiece. That could never be made today in the age of politically correct.

The game is abject shit but people were sucking it off so much I figured it was just me and I needed time to get more familiar with it.

Three months and $50 later I can safely say its just bad. I'm a big fan of Daytona 2 but I never see it anywhere and we never got any home ports. I can't believe that, its such a satisfying game to control.

>>15481513

There are still arcade games being released every year. What surprised me was Microsoft suddenly getting in on it. You should definitely hunt down an arcade and play Maximum Tune 5 for the game and Gaylo for the spectacle.

Spectacle and lights are certainly the main feature of arcades, sad shit is, they're not really that different from a memotest. Eventually after replaying the same levels over and over again you'll memorize shit. Love HotD 2 but can't digest ruining the game by grinding it via constant replay.

House of the Dead 2 is a hard game though. Especially the end where you got the double punch of the Magician and the Emperor.

If there is one arcade game I've grinded to the ground its HOTD 2. It was my second 1cc. I was trying for the world record for a time but I think he has pretty much maxed out how much points you can get per run.

The Halo game is just kind of a clusterfuck. I don't think it can be 1cc'd or anything like that. Maybe one day a Youtube video can prove me wrong. Its good for a go around or two but thats about it.
