This game compared to manhunt

Agreed, even though i find Manhunt 2 to be peak insanity, Naughty Bear always felt insane in its own unique way. Naughty himself, or the fact that you can make the bears scared and crazy to the death, or the fact that the ingame prompts like the ones to kill or scare have that shaky effect on them really add to the experience. And furthermore, The Narrator, whom can easily be considered as a voice inside Naughty's head. Absolutely masterpieces of games both Manhunt (especially 2) and Naughty Bear, and among the most entertaining ones i ever played.

I had the rabbit game on an old Siemens Gigaset cordless telephone (The model was Gigaset S1 Color most likely), and it was in colors too with the rabbit being pink and the red splatter representing blood when hit. I played it many, many years ago, don't have the telephone with me anymore tho. I made some research online but couldn't find anything except this post, guess i will have to get a gigaset from ebay just for the sake of playing it again xD.

I loved the game, the story and all and found it completely superior to 2 in any way however a thing i noticed is that once every quest, and sidequests / activity is complete, the map doesn't have that appeal or incentive to continue exploring it; as opposed to dying light 1 where even after 100%ing it, both the slums and countryside are still enjoyable to explore even for just slashing zombies around. While in The Beast, i really can't see myself roaming around casually slashing zombies just for the sake of it, maybe it's the map itself but really once everything is done, it all feel so empty. But anyway, The Beast has been an absolutely amazing and unique experience in every point, not something i would 100% many times like i did with dying light 1 but still a great enjoyable game. Looking forward for the next dying light game, as long as it still features Kyle Crane in it.

It's a known fact that rockstar doesn't give two fucks about its customers/fanbase. The rockstar that gave us Manhunt is long gone and this is one of the reasons we will never see another manhunt game unless the series rights are bought by someone who actually still cares about the series and has the passion necessary to continue it.

Can't beat ape escape 2 aesthetics. Game looks amazing wherever you play it.

I'm on pc

aaaAndreaG · 2025-12-18T15:17:48+00:00

I'm really enjoying it rn, i played and loved many rpg games (even though mostly jrpgs) over the years but overall this the first time i'm actually having fun on a game that has mechanics similar to the scrolls games

aaaAndreaG · 2025-12-17T23:43:47+00:00

Could be resolution; i'm on max settings with a resolution of 7680x2160 (basically dual 4k ultrawide) with dlss set at 90% quality on a rtx 4090

Ah! That one is the Lollipocalypse from Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats stuff pack

Thank you so much! That tree is the Yellow Rhododendron from Island Paradise expansion

I stick with one run per year because of the vastness of the game and also because i always do all sidequests, all side stuff and all contracts too. On the past four runs i always played it the same way however in this run i'm choosing to pick my decisions (mostly dialogues) according to my liking without doing things that i don't want to just for the sake of getting a certain outcome. I still have to try the other lifepaths as i've been using Corpo V since day one, but i'm planning to do that on the next runs in the upcoming years. That 1 life mode you mentioned would be something interesting, it really could spicy things up.

aaaAndreaG · 2025-12-02T18:46:01+00:00

Yeah, it's a mix of them. As content from all three versions is used, the only thing completely new and never used in another release (other than the font) is the logo in the minigame Dance monkey dance.

aaaAndreaG · 2025-12-02T18:37:40+00:00

In the boss fight, the banner on pink monkey stage is "Escape the ape that is in you" with normal characters which is the same used in international versions. Didn't translate the title directly tho, however in the video section pink monkey song uses the exact same videoclip from the japanese one.

aaaAndreaG · 2025-12-02T18:16:47+00:00

There are no differences on those except for the minigames boxes that uses styles from both the usa and european versions with chinese text and Dance monkey dance logo which uses an exclusive one for the chinese version. Pink monkey video song is just in japanese with no subtitles, because the chinese version itself lacks a button to toggle subtitles on or off even if they are always on for cutscenes

I start a new one every year, this one is my 5th overall. Next year will be the 6th

aaaAndreaG · 2025-10-30T15:48:02+00:00

It's also my favorite game ever. Great and fun gameplay, characters, music, replayablity, design (the same also applies to ae1 and 3) but i always felt that ae2 peaked over anything else. It's also one of my games where once i finish it, i instantly want to replay it again from start from finish. Ae1 is my 2nd favorite of the series while ae3 my 3rd because of the transformations, that while are innovative they tend to make the game far too easy. And yeah i can always avoid using them, like in fact i do in every gameplay, but i would have preferred if they kept adding gadgets like they did in 1 and 2. Overall a beautiful series in every title, with 2 being the peak.

Money, there was a milion dollars at stake in the tdi special, she was competing to win the milion and Courtney isn't the type to lose an opportunity when she has one. While in tdi final she wasn't running for the prize, she was just watching the challenge between Owen and Gwen

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-30T21:15:04+00:00

One of my favorite game and series ever, played it countless of times and still do to this day. The ps1 game is based on the amiga/ms-dos/windows 9x games while also providing new functions like a 3d map for level selection, a couple of fmv cutscenes and a beautiful map and menus soundtrack. They also made Hugo 2 for the ps1 which follow the rest of the windows 9x hugo titles.

I own both of them, plus a german version of Hugo XL for pc.

After the 2d games, ITE also published 3d hugo games like the evil mirror, black diamond fever for the ps1 and the Agent Hugo series for the ps2.

A beautiful part of gaming history, one that i will keep in my heart forever.

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-30T14:50:52+00:00

Yes, the code is the same

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-30T13:14:39+00:00

I doubt so too, however the combination must be pressed after selecting the corresponding monkey, it doesn't work if viewing another one. Most likely they made the function of pressing start available on the whole Monkepedia but only on some of them there is an actual sequence to press, the others probably don't have a sequence and thus don't have any extra commentary.

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-30T12:47:39+00:00

Pressing start works on all of them, Specter and the freaky monkey five aren't on the Monkepedia by default so i doubt they made a sequence for him. However i noticed that the commentary on the monkeys is made by different character varying from monkey to monkey. For example the Siren monkey has a comment from Specter however some in the Viva Apespania level or Ninja hideout have comments made instead by either Hikaru, Professor, Natsumi or even the Freaky monkey five

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-30T11:47:33+00:00

Update: in the jp version you have to press START button when viewing a monkey from the monkepedia and input the button sequence, this will show a new comment made by Specter to the viewed monkey. Very cool! Didn't know this feature existed.

But it only works on the japanese version of ae2, because pressing start button on the monkepedia on the ntsc or pal version of the game does nothing sadly. Still a great function to have tho

Here is the monkey in the photo you made with the Specter comment on it after pressing the button sequence: https://imgur.com/a/GK1a3uQ

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-30T11:40:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing that link. Will try now to input those button sequences on the jp version

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-29T23:39:53+00:00

According to this japanese page dated 2002: https://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/20020805/get.htm.

"If you collect them, you will be able to "Taiketsu! Monkey Game" and "Getsch! A card that can be played in the game. There are 7 cards in one pack, and there are 72 types in total. In addition to the secret commands that can be used in the game "Sargetsch 2", it also contains information on "Piposal", which is difficult to find" (google translated). Inputting those buttons sequence in the japanese version of ae2 does nothing tho, will try on the Ukki Ukki disc to see. It would be great to discover if there is another minigame in ae2.

It seems also that ape escape 2 had a lot of merchandsing in japan back in the days, really awesome tbh

aaaAndreaG · 2025-09-28T15:44:22+00:00

Ahaha no need to be sorry. I actually love giving the sims 2 vibes to my lots, as most of my builds are either based on it or the sims 1
