G is arguably the main character in the House of the Dead franchise. Yet they removed him and fake out killed him in HotD2?

WHY.
>>
>>3081431
i dunno
>>
I always imagine you're playing as two sentient floating guns in these games.
>>
>>3081431
Killed him? I thought it was implied he survived?
>>
>>3081595
He did live and he was in every HotD after that. But they make you think he dies, he gives advice and "dies" but really passes out.
>>
I played 1 2 and 3, no idea who this G guy is-
>>
>>3081628
I bet you're going to suffer like him

we're meeting G over THERE

My non Sega fan friend used to think
"G's bloodstains!"
Was actually
"Jeez... Bloodstains!"

>>3081431
So you could suffer like G did.
>>
>>3081448
No, you don't.

G: Man or Machine?

Machines can't suffer.

You lying shit, he's in every single HotD game.

You have obviously never seen your mothers vibrator.
>>
>>3081781
I honestly don't remember any mention of "G" anywhere, maybe the audio was messed up or I just didn't pay attention to anything other than the zombies. Next time I'll keep an eye out, if I can still find a working cabinet.

Why the fuck would I even need to come to an anonymous board to lie about a small thing like that?
>>
House of the Dead had a story..?
>>
>>3081817
Yes. And it's wonderful.
Jokes aside I loved the b-grade story

What did he mean by this?

He was asking if you were suffering like G did?

How can G be the main character when he's always Player 2 in every game he's playable?
>>
>>3081930
Because he's in the most games.
>>
>>3081940
Rogan is a playable P1 in HotD1/3/4 i.e all Curien related ones and appears in HotD2 only game he's missing from is Overkill - the one not made by the original devs. Thus Rogan is the MC and G is his sidekick.

It's time they made a move.

But the subtitle didn't have a question mark. It's more of a statement with a weird inflection at the end.

I was always more of a Typing of the Dead fan.

Uhhhhh you play as Rogan's daughter in 3 and 4 NOT Rogan himself.
>>
>>3081972
You play as Rogan in the intro of HOTD3 that counts! Also yeah there's no Rogan in 4 but also you don't play as his daughter there either. Just some two new nobodies like in 2.

Was the resulting VA in HotD2 intentional? You have to try really hard to fuck up that bad

Any tips to play this game?
I don't have access to a CRT and clicking with a mouse on PC isn't enjoyable with these games to me. Any experiences withtbe wiimote here?
>>
friends...
>>
>>3082528
I have the wii version (2&3) and find that the wiimote is a little too laggy to play that well, the first boss in particular is a giant pain and you're bound to lose a few lives. So, yeah, the dreamcast version is pretty much the only version that plays well.
>>
>>3082528
HOTD2 is playing fine on Wii, /vr/ people can "feel the lag" but they are the only one.
>>
>>3082554
I was playing it last night and there is definite lag, The wiimote isn't 1 to 1 movement, it can't be. How would you even defend that statement?
>>
>>3082528
Play the Typing of the Dead
>>
>>3082414
I always figured it was japs attempting to speak english. No way a native english speaker could come off that unnatural.
>>
>>3082562
>The wiimote isn't 1 to 1 movement
So what?
It's a rail shooter
>>
>>3082549
>the first boss in particular is a giant pain and you're bound to lose a few lives
Not really. What part do you have a problem with? I clear it easily on Wii version. The chainsaw one on the other hand is a bitch. Can't figure out how to not relying on luck during that fight.
>>
>>3082576
They probably hired some random foreigners in Tokyo.
>>
>>3082414
My understanding is that it was translated by someone who was literally just given the script with absolutely zero direction, probably a Japanese native, and voiced by people who hadn't seen a second of gameplay.

>>3082586
I know it's hard to imagine as 12 year old who has never seen an arcade, but there used to be 2 very different types of rail shooter. There were positional games where you used a joystick with a big flashing cursor to tell you where you were shooting your machine gun, and there were games that relied on 1:1 accuracy with a gun that had actual sights you had to aim with in real life.

For most later home ports of light gun games, the difficulty level never goes above the easy setting. If you have to use a cursor, you're not actually playing a light gun game.
>>
>>3081848
>you inattentive shit. FTFY.

oh, it's bait from a /v/tard.

Here's another (you) for the little virgin in the mom basement
>>
>James, go and prevent the confusion in the city.
>ジェッムズは街の混乱を抑えてくれ
I don't even know how you'd arrive at a translation like this. Sure, 混乱 can be thought of as "confusion", but it's far closer to "chaos". And 抑えて could only be used as "prevent" if there wasn't already complete chaos on the streets with all the zombombos. Why not just use something like "stop", or "fight", there were tons of perfectly reasonable translations here.

Most of the script is pretty lame, but this is one of those lines that just made me go "what the fuck is that even supposed to mean" as a kid.

Seconding both of your points, friend. These stupid youngfags need to stop assuming that they know everything after watching a single YouTube video.

>it's not me who suck, i swear
>>
>>3082745
They're set to easy mode so that people who have half a second of delay before their on-screen cursor moves have a chance of beating them.

So not only are you playing a boring game because everything is dumbed down, you're also fighting against a control scheme that was never intended. Instead of testing your reflexes and aim, the game becomes all about testing how patiently you can wait for your cursor to update to the right position.
>>

>half a second of delay
You're a fucking idiot.

It has been a long time since I played a Wii shooter, but yeah, isn't it akin to playing them with a mouse? Maybe I was able to get some aiming in UC, but unless it is 1:1 down the sights, you aren't playing a lightgun game. The whole point of these is to aim, not move a cursor around and click on things.
>>
>>3083402
I will fucking stand to heart by my opinion that this is easily one of the best covers made for any videogame ever.

the one and only thing fucking it over here is the lack of the outline of the hand and the agent in the HOTD logo.
>>
How could anyone do this?
>>
>>3083402
I know a lot of people like to shit on it but I honestly don't find it all that bad for a Saturn port.
>>
>>3083409
>isn't it akin to playing them with a mouse?
Not really. It might not be 100% sight-down-the-barrel accurate but it's close enough once calibrated on a proper setup. I can usually sight down the remote and it shoots in the correct location. Some people are just generally retarded and don't know how to set up consoles.

The first time I saw that newish Rambo rail shooter, I figured players 1 and 2 were just his left and right arm.

the bosses in hotd2 were too hard

Pretty sure he's in overkill aswell
>>
>>3084749
You just suck, they were fairly easy aside from maybe the final one.

Now, HotD3, that's another story. The fucking sloth requires 6 hits per health bar. That wouldn't be so bad, if you didn't only have 6 shots, and reloading didn't take longer than his attack phase. So you have to get 6 perfect shots on a target that's about 10x10 pixels moving erratically across the screen.

Man, sounds tough, why not invite a friend? Well, then the game requires 12 perfect shots. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

The mansion has this grainy, albeit photo-realistic look. Gives off an eerie atmosphere.

>>3083402
Didn't they only make like 5000 copies of that game?
