When it comes to video games I am obsessive-compulsive about beating them. If I start a game I must finish it. No matter how bad, or how hard it is I will not rest until the ending credits have rolled across the screen. Like Bruce Hornsby says ... that's just the way it is!

Why FF7 and MGS are crappy PS1 games and Capcom is the best game company EVER!
SilverDragon1979 | 2:55 PM on 07.02.2009 51 comments




To date, the most popular PS1 games released for download on the Playstation Network have been Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid. I don't understand why though, because in my opinion those games are complete crap, and the best PS1 game has still not been released. That's all about to change though, because soon the best PS1 game ever, created by the best company ever, is about to be released for download. That company, ladies and gentlemen, is CAPCOM, and that game, is DINO CRISIS!

Now, you are probably thinking to yourself right now, "this guy is completely crazy. How dare he say Final Fantasy 7 and Metal Gear Solid are crappy games. That's completely blasphemes. Both of those games are the crown jewels of the PS1. There are 10's of millions of people that have grown up with those games and adore them. Aeris died and I cried like a baby. No game can ever top the emotional impact of that moment." Well you know what, you would be WRONG, and stop crying like a little girl. It's pathetic. FF7 and MGS are crappy games, and I'll tell you why. They are crappy because they don't include the one, extremely important element that makes Dino Crisis so damn good. They don't have DINOSAURS!

Why Dino Crisis is better then Final Fantasy 7
As I've already stated, Final Fantasy is a crappy game because it doesn't have the one crucial element in it that makes Dino Crisis so great, Dinosaurs! Let's take a second though to discuss what Final Fantasy 7 would have been like if it did have dinosaurs in it. First of all, Dino Crisis is a much more realistic game then FF7. I mean all that stuff in FF7 was totally make believe. None of it could have ever happened in real life. Also, the characters were completely out of proportions. No one looks that oddly shaped in real life. Dino Crisis, on the other hand, had dinosaurs in it, which are totally real, with people who actually look like real people. They brought dinosaurs back to life in the movie Jurassic Park right, so dinosaurs could totally exist in our time.





Now let's talk about what would have happened if they did include dinosaurs in FF7. We all know that Cloud is just a little wimp, so he could never have been able to defeat a Tyrannosaurus Rex. I mean a T-Rex has like 1,000,000,000,000 HP and is level 999,999. He would have ripped Cloud and the rest of his team apart in seconds. Now Regina, the main character in Dino Crisis, now she's one bad ass chick. You don't see her running around, acting like a little cock tease and getting her self killed like Aeris did. Nope she kicks the shit out of all those dinosaurs, including the T-Rex. She is a true hero character. I mean Cloud wasn't even a real warrior, he was just impersonating one. That's just pathetic.

Why Dino Crisis is better then Metal Gear Solid
Now don't get me wrong, Snake is one bad ass dude, but it's a hell of a lot easier to sneak around and stay hidden from a bunch of dumb guards then it is from dinosaurs. You might be able to evade some stupid guards by hiding in a cardboard box, but that shit would not work on a Velociraptor. Oh hell no! Raptors are smart, and would be able to figure out you are hiding beneath the box. They would rip Solid Snake in two. Don't think you can hide in the shadows from a pack of velociraptors either. They would sniff you out and find you in no time. Snake wouldn't have stood a change in MGS if there had been dinosaurs on that island.

The Epic Conclusion
Dinosaurs are awesome. FF7 and MGS don't have dinosaurs and hence they suck. Dino Crisis has dinosaurs and hence it's awesome. Capcom is releasing Dino Crisis on PSN soon, so they are the best company ever. Enough said. Thanks for reading.

I love the Resident Evil series, but I have yet to play a single Dino Crisis game. I'm excited for this.

Also, blasphemy!

Dino Crisis was amazing, but MGS was just better. Psycho Mantis > T-Rex (who turned out to kind of be a pussy). I will let you know about FFVII when I finish that bitch, if I ever get around to it...

Aside from the Sarcasm.

I love Dino Crisis, I love MGS1, I like FF7

MGS1 is the best game of the 3 by a country mile.

T-Rex > Psycho Mantis.

Dino Crisis was ok. 2 had the SICK, AMAZING bounty system where you'd earn money based off your kills (a huge step from RE). Otherwise..."RE Dino-Edition" was fun to beat once for every 3-4 times you beat RE.

MGS had a MECHA TREX. Metal Gear REX. It even made that sound "EEEIIIEEHH" that dinasours are supposed to make.
Also, Dino Crisis 2 had a BIGGER DINOSAUR that EATS a T-REX.

And Regina proceeds to laser satelite the fuck out of that one. So she really kicks ass. And should have another game. A proper DC3.

They don't call it Metal Gear REX because he barks and plays fetch.

Also, didn't FF7 have T-Rexaurs, or was that only FF8?

Anyhow, I lol'd at this.

On the other hand, A T-Rex has poor eyesight, Snake could manage to sneak up on the T-Rex, and snap his neck. Tell me a way that Regina could manage to kill a T-Rex in a similar but badass way as that, and I'll reconsider my opinion and concur with everything you say.

Um, cloud and his team beat the Weapons, which were like dinosaurs/colossus, and Snake beat Metal Gear Rex, which is a T-rex with lasers and missiles.

There really needs to be a modern Dino Crisis game. Honestly, RE4 and RE5 should have been Dino Crisis games with the heavy focus on combat and shooting, but I won't delve too deep into the RE-purist psycho babble.

C'mon, Capcom! You know you we want more, so give it up!

I just want to point out, if Dino Crisis does good and sells alot of copies on PSN, I bet they will make a next gen sequal.

BUY DINO CRISIS ON PSN PEOPLE!!!

YOU SICK FILTH!!

The Atari Lynx is the best PS1 game. Second place goes to Rayman. Third place is for Ronaldo V-Football.

p.s. Seriously. I don't think Final Fantasy 7 is all that. But don't talk about Metal Gear in this manner again. For you'll end up in a Dragon stew.

I remember playing Dino Crisis on my Dreamcast when all the survival horror games got re-released on that console. Sucked then, and still sucks to this day. It's like they stripped Resident Evil of all interesting plot and enemies and decided dinosaurs could make you poop your shorts. I assume this is just a joke but that brought up some old painful memories.

I fully agree except with the Metal Gear Solid part. That said, I think Dino Crisis was superior to Resident Evil. Why is that? Cause of fucking dinosaurs! It's hard to take down just one and they're so fast. Moment I see a velociraptor pop its head around a corner, I freeze in terror and run like a little bitch. Never experienced that with the shuffling zombies of Resident Evil. If Capcom would give me a next-gen Dino Crisis, I would give Capcom my entire wallet.
