For example: I once got stuck standing next to the professor, apparently his aura was holding me hostage because when I tried to move I only ran in place and turned in circles. In just about every area all sorts of environmental objects flicker and shine when they shouldn't and worse yet, it's very easy to get your character completely trapped on a piece of debris with little hope of recovery. My major complaint though is the multiple instances of terrible clipping. The cutscenes looked a lot worse than gameplay and featured some pretty poor sprite interactions. The monsters sprites fared better, being much more detailed with fluid movements.
Though we did note all the special effort taken to ensure the girls gave an exaggerated hip sway when they walked so clearly the art team knew what sort of things were the most important. The human character sprites during gameplay were passable, not too blocky,but not terribly clear or fluid. The environments are pretty nice looking and detailed, not as crisp and clean as the original, but that added an element of realism. Graphically it's a mixture of good and bad. The much bigger issues were the slow weapon reload time, occasional command delays, not being able to heal via the menu screen and the lack of map. I think the original aim with the shoulder button and shoot/strike with x made a lot More sense, but in time I got used to it could deal with it. I thought the aiming with L1 and shooting with R1 controls for the weapons was kind of annoying. The controls are simple enough but not terribly responsive. We're also introduced to several new faces with their own unique talents and histories, you'll get the most familiar with Mei, Corey, Sven and Amy though you do get a few other teamates as well. All three sound and act almost nothing like they did in the first game, Stan is the most recognizable, but that's not saying much.
#Obscure vs obscure 2 driver
With the third returning friend, Stan, now working as a delivery driver in the area. With two of the three returning characters attending classes at Fallcreek college, Shannon (who looks NOTHING like her original design) and Kenny. Obscure 2: the aftermath takes place 2 years after the incidents at Leafmore high. I thought to myself, "surely this game can't be worth such a paltry price." Then I tried actually playing it.
#Obscure vs obscure 2 ps2
Just last week I scored us a copy for the PS2 for a whopping $6 including shipping. The longer I waited to buy it the more terrible things I heard about the game so I decided to wait until it was at around the $10 mark before picking it. I don't usually mind waiting a bit anyway as our extensive game library keeps us from really needing to get new games often. I didn't buy it right away because we really didn't have the cash then. "WOO HOO! More co-op survival horror action!" I said to myself. When I heard Obscure 2: the aftermath was coming out I was excited. Overall it was a positive gaming experience. The characters were pretty flat and the dialogue lacking, but those were my only major complaints with it. The Co-op was pretty easy to handle and fun, the gameplay smooth and easy with some unique elements and the storyline, while by no means good, was passable and actually a bit engaging. Both fortunately and unfortunately what we got was actually a pretty decent game. It was less than $15 brand new and featured a Co-op mode so we decided to have some guilty pleasure gaming.
You know when those are what a game sells itself with you're probably not in for anything good. It's selling points were music by Sum 41 and a unique story line based on teen horror movies. This is how the first Obscure was purchased. In any case, when searching for these steaming piles I usually narrow my search to the vintage systems, but occasionally something from one of the newer systems grabs my attention and if it's cheap enough I'll go for it.
Surprisingly, I've actually been pretty successful and I'll eventually go into that in a later entry.
This search started in an effort to find a game worse than the X-men game on the NES, which was one of the biggest disappointments of my young life. I look far and wide for the worst video games ever made. So reviewing one, even as a quick review, is an rarity but.I have a confession to make. Anyone who reads this blog knows (and even if you're a new visitor it should quickly become obvious) that I rarely talk about new games.
