1 is not accessible to emushitters/normalfags, thotd2 was everywhere. 3 is common but the shotguns were a terrible idea, nobody knows scarlet exists, lovers looks hilarious and fun but is japan only. Because thotd2 is infinitely quoted people ran it into the ground with memes and they now assume it's the best game because it's quoted so much.
i honestly think overkill was the best but it's not retro.
>nobody knows scarlet dawm exists
i know it exists in every dave & busters i've ever been to.
HotD 2 came out on Dreamcast with lightgun support, was included with HotD 3 on XBox, and the Wii had a double pack for HotD 2 and 3 together. HotD 2 also had the popular Typing of the Dead version that achieved meme popularity.
So basically, just way more people played the second one.
this.
i DID play the first game in arcades but HOTD 2 cabinets were more common where i lived growing up and the saturn is the only sega console i never owned.
I love 1 &2 equally, but playing HotD3 in arcades with the shotgun as a kid felt so much more cooler. Haven't seen a cabinet since then, would love to see if the shotgun-lightgun holds up still
The HOTD games are pretty bullshit in terms of difficulty. Constant trigger mashing and microscopic weakpoints on the bosses. Virtua Cop is way more fair and fun.
There are patterns you can figure out for each and every boss, it gets to be a fun game of managing the movement of each actor and understanding they have predictable locations. The 6 shooter makes killing enemies a fun balance of damaging enough and hitting critical areas so you aren't making openings with reloads.
All the good players I competed with for high scores would just put a finger over the barrel to reload rather than taking the gun off the screen, and that "reload hand" held the gun while we fingered the trigger like a clit rather than gripping the handle like you would a real gun.

It had better graphics and was more available because the original HofD units were mostly broken by then. Then if you consider that I saw part III just once in one arcade, it might be easy to see why part 2 is favored.
I love 2 but it could obviously be better. After the terrific lvl 2 (which is arguably the best one) lvl 3 and lvl 4 feel ncredibly short, then lvl 5 and 6 reuses bosses lazily.
They all mid
It's the version everyone grew up with.
Only HOTD 1 is good
Imagine risking your life in a house full of horrible and deadly creatures just to save this ugly blonde dude...
Somehow they made her uglier in the remake
>european devs
not even once.
House Of The Dead has a Mandela Effect.
oh god not you. Your not the guy who's been insisting the true title is "The The House of Dead" on this board for years now?
Of course not. I'm the guy who insists that the true title IS "House Of The Dead". Even the official movie adaption spells it that way.

People love Goldman
I always liked the more traditional mansion setting of the 1st game better than the urban or whatever they were going for in 2.

That's a viable competitive strat, lets you dump the most shots in easily
What light gun games didn't have mashing sections? At first I hated them due to how tired my hand would get but came up with a work around.

suffer like g did
i dont wanna die
>Why do people keep saying the second game is the best?
It just was okay? Not being ironic either.
HotD 2 was the most popular one in arcades and also had a great Dreamcast port. It was also the basis for Typing of the Dead.
