After playing Parasite Eve I waited desperately for Parasite Eve II to be released on PSN but due to the hack crisis at the time I had to wait till August (5 month gap between the re-release of 1 and 2). I've played Parasite Eve II up to September then forgot about it. I've made it on to Disc 2 but I am not sure if I should restart the game or continue. I could barely remember the events of Disc 1(which is weird because Im not forgetful when it comes to video games). I don't really mind restarting if I have to, when I forget some things for video games my memory comes back when certain events occur but there was this one boss that annoyed the hell out of me Lol. So should I continue or restart the whole game? And for those of you who are curious yes Parasite Eve is a great series and shouldn't be compared with any survival horror series I recommend it, Square did a beautiful job including Yoko Shimomura for doing the soundtrack of the first game :)
Is the boss you're talking about that giant thing around the motel? I played through the first disc awhile back ago then completely forgot about that game lol. Though I did beat the first game. Anyways as for your problem, you could try catching up with the story on some online walkthrough. I do that to jog my memory if I haven't played a game in awhile. That way that time you spent getting to where you are now won't go to waste and you can continue where you left off. :D
Meh, I do that all the time. Play the crap out of a game, then forget about it and try to come back to it months later and try to pick up where i left off. I 99% of the time end up starting over. :/ But the reading an online walkthrough/synopsis is a good idea.
There' s not much to remember : a few cutscenes before reaching the Mojave Desert, then a few scenes with Kyle Madigan. As bloo suggested you-tube is your friend when you just want to jolt your memory.
I agree with Willis. I usually start games over from the beginning if I've left them for a long while. It means I'm better prepared for the stuff that I do actually remember which makes the rest of the game easier since I have that good starting point. If you reaaaally can't be bothered with it though, like others have mentioned, just refer to an online walkthrough.
For me it really depends on the game. Sometimes, if I really love a game and I've left it alone for ages, then I'll restart it. Otherwise, I'll just read a synopsis.
