音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

Once you had a trauma it will be hard to get it healed, even with a rocket launcher...
NO, I DON'T WANT TO REMEMBER THAT ANYMORE... (#゜д゜)ﾉ

So I decided not to touch bio3 for a while. Instead, I tried another series as a snack before the main dish SH4.

CLOCK TOWER series.

I got to know about this series by chance while browsing people's horror game playlists. Since I saw it so many times, as a mood change, I did it during this weekend: 1 and 2.

Different from biohazard or Silent Hill, overall there's no way to fight, you just keep escaping from our hard-working gardener: scissorman.
私は「ハサミ野郎」のほうが気に入るけど～ (*´∀｀)

In terms of just to clear the game, it's very, very easy. But perhaps you'll not get the best ending either--There're so many flags need to be taken care, and in case of "2", there's even an invisible timer for everyone's life. And I actually do worse in such "flagging" games than in survival horror. It would take forever for me to get all endings on my own. orz

By the way, if you've done "1", from this or that in "2" you could perhaps guess who is behind our "pretty" scissorman. We know in "1", he's like 9-year-old. Since "2" happens one year after, combining "he" is from the murder scene in "1", and in scenario 2, Helen's plot, "his" voice as well as "he himself" was in the library, it's so obvious, nothing scary (it's supposed to be adventure after all). But the game itself failed to expend much more detail. It focused too much on "game", which could disappoint people who care about the story.

Thus I decided not to waste my time and to cheat with a premade flowchart. Now I feel I made a good decision as I have no intention to do it again (even with a flowchart!). As for different endings, my main purpose is to know the story, and I'm not really interested non-true endings, plus we have youtube, so you know the rest.

Although like I said above, here let me be frank, this game is not bad. If I had no other games to play at all (unfortunately I do) I'd consider to flag everything on my own.

↑ taking the elevator might be the scariest scene! :P

I know, this game was released earlier than biohazard, was for PS1 and Win95 and other nostalgic hardwares, was limited in graphic and character move control (the latter is a pain!)... yes, I understand all of them, but still I'm speechless on some small (?) details...

↓ Heroine No.1 Jennifer (the one in pale yellow). Age: 15.

Are you sure she's that young? Why I feel she looks like 40-year-old!?

↓ The last of credits...

Of course that's human who made this game. Unless there's other meaning behind these letters (which I'm not interested in googling), I don't know what to say about their naming sense.

Other than 1 and 2, I also did a little search about 3 (the PS2 one). But when I saw they labelled it as a failure, and when I saw the producer to be Capcom... hmmm... I hesitated and went to youtube again. (；´∀｀)

Just like the review said, CT3 isn't good, like nothing but a stiff drama (especially the cutscenes, so stupid--they overdid too much). A lot of other settings look funny too: the heroine's (what's her name again? ._.) bow is so ugly. And with such a small bow you should be able to move. Bosses speak too much and thus are annoying. Also for one of the bosses, the hammerman... hammerman?! sounds so familiar. Then I realised the guy in Corpse Party was also nicknamed as hammerman! Oh, well, different things began to mix up.
Therefore, due to this or that, I lost interest and skipped to the very last of the player's videos. The last scene = a love comedy. Boring.

Capcom has their success = biohazard. So you shouldn't expect too much.

Speaking of biohazard (I know I've been around this topic for weeks...), good news to me is the coming biohazard 1 HD remaster gets discounted even before its November release:

AND AGAIN I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS! ><
On some sites the collector's version costs ~$115. Good I haven't placed my pre-order! (ﾉ´∀｀*)

I'd really like to experience living in a mansion like that in biohazard1's world for even one night some day! >///<
and I do hope my trauma will be gone by that time!

Finally, a new piece in my "fangirl's collection":
↓

Steins;Gate blueray+DVD pack (the only thing bad is the movie is not here).

I didn't think to much when I bought this pack--I haven't watched such an amazing anime for years (in opposite Chaos;Head fell into my worst-anime-ever list ^^;)!.. although I'm not here for an anime review. Plus it's getting too long, so let me jump to my conclusion:
Edogawa Conan is the only one turns me to a shota-con, and
Makise Kurisu is the only Tsundere I ever loved~♥

⇩始めに、ずっと前考えたけど。こんなかわいい背景の付いてるとこでこんな怖いゲームをブツブツ喋ってんいいの？ (｡･_･｡)

To revenge my first time play's rank D in biohazard 3, I tried hard to save less and run quicker since this week. Everything was going well even after Carlos escaped from the hospital. Yet, when Jill entered the park, the little and long path on the right side, I prayed there were nothing but zombies and dogs, but I know the evil CAPCOM just is like a devil--the freezing beam got rid of 2 insane jumping hunters, and I thought I'd be able to catch my 2nd save right before the "earthworm" fight. However, I never knew there was a third hunter!!
The result = hunter's special move (you know what I mean).
Just in 1 second, the screen turned pure white, then black: "YOU DIED".

I laughed in despair. ゜д゜)鬱死・・・
My previous (1st) save was before fixing the train...
カプコンの野郎ぉぉぉーーー (# ﾟДﾟ) ﾑｯｶｰ
I swear I'll wipe them out in my afterlife.

Think about it again, in biohazard 1, they got me 10+ times, and in biohazard 3 THE MERCENARIES, 9 out of 10 times I die due to those stupid hunters.
The fact is, I haven't even cleared THE MERCENARIES for a single time, yet I've got the unlimited assault rifle + $1700. How come I fall in love with horror games with such a rubbish playing skill! =_=
Hunter now has officially become my biggest trauma (spiders are the next).

I'm so jealous of people who can run Nicolai with no problem! (although my heart belongs to the tough man Mikhail).

So naturally I need something to heal the damage in my heart, which is from ↓

Akiko's "mei-fa-re koo-ja-i;" served for this.
Frankly I was more interested in Yoko's song. And it was good, which I don't deny. But after hours of looping, I switched the looping mode from "playlist" to "track".
And haven't stopped looping since 2 days ago.
Although the other song by Akiko was good (of course it is!), the first track seduced me so much that I don't know what else I should play when I attempted to switch.
But such "meaningless" titles are indeed a pain. Can I wish the GUST staff stop playing around with these looks-nice-but-is-useless languages?! << Really tired with it. ><
As for the very first track... Let me pretend that there are only three songs in this release. Σ(ﾟ∀ﾟ")

I feel like I won't care about any future releases in the following 10 years, as long as I have this track.

--Or maybe I'm possessed.
This one is as dangerous as Ebola~

Since I've decided my special day will be October 17th, which marks I'm at the end of levelling-up. Soon I gotta do something with (a small part of) the battle field...

Although the finally confirmed date kinda depressed me because...

I thought Libra would be higher (like 100%) but apparently I'm wrong (although the above image doesn't really mean anything. xD;;)
I'll just go with my current plan, I don't want to wait to next May! (*´∀｀)

From the end of June to the end of September, I finally cleared biohazard 3, total time in record = 7H 3x M.. (# ﾟДﾟ) ﾑｯｶｰ
If taking account of the time when I got lost, the total time might be over 10 hours.
Not surprising as I could spent 16 hours + for Silent Hill series.

As usual a pile of new images, which explain things better than plain text~


Bear?! (I'm not here for fun!)


Pipe... biohazard are you attempting to rob the symbolic weapon in Silent Hill??
↓

Fine, it's not a weapon..


Alfred Cornes... who is that? ._.


This ugly boss got me 4 times! °A°


The most tiresome riddle in this game. =__=

After the "battle-for-card-key", my status (consumed ~26 acid rounds + ~10 mine thrower). But right when I was running out of ammo, I suddenly realised I was supposed to use... something I don't know the name, to weaken it (tera-gorilla). <<< I know I don't really understand biohazard at all. (and the result was more cost in ammo).
Yet, amazingly I didn't die and I made it when there were only 7 seconds left (even got lost where the card key was and I almost gave up)! lol
Too bad I didn't make to capture the exciting moment.

Something interesting is now on top right...


So this is the "minister" in biohazard2?

Rocket Launcher!! (but in the first time play I didn't use it. ^^;) So in bio3 it's not like I get it from someone, and get rid of the last boss with one hit only.
...which means...↓

the last boss has to be dealed with something else... I don't know what it exactly is (missed the final top secret file) but it looks so cool!


By the way, like I said last time, in heavy mode, instead of collecting herbs I made this beautiful collection: First Aid Spray x 10.


First choice of course! Only this is qualified to be a s.t.a.r.s.!


Why in game Jill holds the magnum with both hands? (￣д￣)ｴｰ

The fabulous ending.

"It's (the missile) here."


Over the clock tower.


Over the city.


"We gotta go."


Missile finally arrives.


The end of Raccoon City.


R.I.P. for the 100k lives.
(Biohazard now graduates from the Raccoon City area.)

There are 8 slots for such after stories... so I have to clear this game for 8 times? (not really a big deal but not very soon. :3)

Now look at the date. September 28th. The same day when Jill starts her last escape! And toward the very end, I finally knew the real name of that tera-gorilla, Nemesis. He is indeed like the "minister" in bio2, who drops items after being temporarily killed. But he's so fast and I'm still not good at dodge moves. <<< I know I don't really understand biohazard at all.
and somehow I more care about how Carlos made to the helicopter. They should make another route for Carlos like bio2's B side! (*´∀｀)

As my next target is Silent Hill 4 (eventually I'm going back to SH)!
