I'll give it this... the amount of diverse enemies available is impressive even by today standards. Also I don't think I've ever seen a mutant killing sloth in my life.
House of The Dead games have always been pretty hard arcade shooters and they have always kept on getting harder and hrder as new ones come out unlike the Time Crisis series. I swear I can complete all of those in one credit and sometimes even no hits. The thing that makes the House of The Dead series hard is that you have to shoot everything on screen fast and accurately. If you spam especially during boss fight's you'll find that you miss your window of hitting opportunities quite easily causing you to get hit.
thats pretty true, i agree. whenever i get to the first and 3rd boss fights in house of the dead 4, i always find myself prefiring their weak spots, but then the damage multilplier and their hitboxes become smaller so then i fuck myself over and get hit. I always have loved the house of the dead series because even though its an arcade game, the story is pretty rich and philosophies about humanity's over population and pandoras box made me more interested in the zombies as well. The bosses appear simple to kill but the skill needed to time and shoot accurately makes the boss fights so fun and cool. The HOTD series was imo overshadowed by resident evil. i feel as if the HOTD series deserve.more recognition as a great game of action and scifi.
@@markas_kasuyademomanisresp6516 But if you do that it can take the skill out of it and also cause you to shoot inaccurately which can be more detrimental. Not to mention, I’m pretty sure there are more enemies at a time on 2 player mode right?
@@budlight2969 Well I guess it may depend on which one you’re more used to but I just felt that especially in Time Crisis 2 and beyond time was never usually an issue despite the title name. And having the opportunity to dodge things rather than it be a “shoot quick or die” situation made things easier especially when some of the time windows to shoot the targets you needed to particularly in the HOTD series were very strict and unforgiving. Maybe not so much in the VC series though. They were easier in my opinion.
Ahh my childhood memories, I miss it so bad, hope I can go back the time, I remember playing this with my friends back in 2008 2009 but now they have family on their own. So sad.
It’s bitter sweet that we remember our childhoods, some days I wish we could just relive our memories to experience something we’ll never get to experience again.
@@Abyss.WalkerI loved the new original house of the Dead remake on PS5. It sold well enough. They’re already making HOTD 2 remake. Let’s hope it’s just as if not more successful so they can remake this one next along with HOTD 4 and finally release The House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn on home consoles.
I cannot tell how that dead soldier at 31:43 is like very strong and I like that detail, as well, I can't recognize well what he's saying, also feels like a mini boss battle too
@Israelthewhiteespy he’s saying “we’re humanity’s last hope” and every time you knock him down he’ll get up saying “that was for my buddies” I guess he’s repeating the last words he’s said before dying. Even though he didn’t say anything in the beginning, I’ll assume there was dialogue leading up to his death
This is by far the hardest hotd franchise in arcade.. my arms getting tired midway just for reloading, and you just can't pause the game to take a rest.
yeah lol if you think about it you had to keep reloading your shotgun as fast as you'd reload the pistol in the first game and the smg in the fourth one, except the shotgun's reload is way harder
We should thank classics like this for our modern day arcade shooters honestly it would take me hundreds of lives to complete as I’m so shit at shooting games
I always found it to be quite easy with a little practise, on PC though, the days of arcade are long gone...........but I think PC is much easier than Arcade, even if I haven't really used an arcade in this game.....
@@retrogamer2503 obviously it is because a mouse has higher accuracy than aiming with a prop. If you have a gaming mouse which can double-click or tripple-click, it's even easier.
I remember playing this at Peter Piper Pizza in Las Cruces, NM when I was 9 in 2003. I beat the game like 10 times without ever having to insert more coins for more life. I felt unstoppable lol
Remember playing this on an arcade machine at a waterpark here in Italy when I was about 9. The game looked scary af (and kinda still does) and I remember I sucked so bad lmao, too bad I could just play one game as I was about to go home
Man, I remember seeing this game years ago (probably in 2005-2006) at a restraunt my family would occasionally eat out at... I remember being fascinated by how cool and scary it looked, but I don't think I ever actually got to play it. I just stood around and watched the intro and the teaser gameplay a bunch. Its pretty cool to actually see the full game after all these years! Maybe I'll play it sometime.
It was neat that they remade the first House Of The Dead game, but I think we need some closure on if and how the remains of humanity prevailed against Curien's creatures since Thornheart is still at large. Not to mention, the only tarot card that's not been represented in the series is The Devil, so clearly there's one last major threat to defeat in the wastes.
2019 now 2020 😭 I really missed those days when I usually played this game with my ex- partners, it was 2013, time is so fast damn I didn't speak English during that time and we called the game "zombie 3, la casa de los putos" memories hit really hard. Nice game 🍃 goodbye childhood 😔
I remember to save up coins to play this game in modified XBOX 360 which i think 1 cent for 15 minutes of gameplay. We cant afford to buy consoles at that time and as a kid this game was the most realistic video game i remembered.
I feel that House of the Dead 3 is the best one out of the series. Simple plot, best voice acting, not being too graphic or scary with the style, zombies and bosses, great climax as well as the bookending effect, and I personally prefer shotguns over gun or machine guns. Thoughts?
A decade ago, i used to play this at the arcade. It felt so good to reload the shotgun in my hands. The problem tho was that the years got to it. It wouldnt reload anymore via the usual method, so what the staff did was add a button to reload the shotgun. It was... weird and sad.
i got S rank ending in an arcade machine with this game. I gotta say the most unfair boss are still the security guard "last phase" and the tree. To stagger them before they hit you on max difficulty is near impossible, you had to shoot fast but hit all the shots, no waiting. Cope to that the security guard's last phase window requires huge muscle memory because of those windows. I would always go for no hit run when i show off to my friends at the arcade, but at the security guard is pure luck if my shot decided to land or hit the wall instead
Yeah so it's been 8 years huh?😢 I remember when I started the game I used to kill all the zombies easily but when the security guard boss came that always scared the shit out of me🤣. So I always pause the game at that part and ask my dad to do it. LOL
Best part of this game is unlimited ammo- however..the difficulty accounts for that..if I didn't work the arcade when I did I would never have spent the money to beat it..it averages around 20 bucks if it's a buck a life
Two weeks that man festered with the infection and became several times stronger than the zombies similar to him. Any longer and he might have become stronger than the Death boss at the beginning.
God, this game takes me back to when I was younger and my cousin and Mom would play this game through..!! My mom would call the Sloth Boss by my cousins name because of how smelly my cousin can be at some times…. He literally smells like sloth, LOL..!! Now I’m 24 and I’m struggling to get past the final boss…. I still have this game AND HOTD 4 on my Computer and PlayStation 3..!! They’re FUN TO PLAY..!!
Hello I'm from the year 20222 and rest assured none of that happens in 2019 , all what happened is covid19 but don't worry we overcame it eventually, 2020 was a depressing year but the sun rose again
I'd joking saying I totally remember all that things like this who happened in 2019. But we were through 2020 and 2021 takes the same past, so we are in chaos indeed. Just, not a zombi one
no, a lot of them are actually mutated zombies. i believe justice and the temperance in house of the dead 4 are both muated zombies. The lovers are mutated spiders and in HOTD 2, there is a 4 headed worm thingy.
Does the ps3 version allow you to save progress? I bought this recently when I play the most recent chapter, the game just goes back to the main menu after completion.
The bag of shotgun shells they carried must’ve been immense.
Or maybe they found some off screen considering that every Rogan Commando used shotguns
Maybe they found some shells. Look at RE. There is ammo everywhere
Its pretty obv its Game logic
@@noveljoe679 Its a fuckin game. Its fiction
Just 2 massive bags of shotgun shells just tied to the front of their trousers like two massive testicles 😂😂😂

The house of the dead setting and zombies were far more scary. Just somthing about the dirty grungy look and the low poly zombies is just scarier.

this was the first arcade game i ever played. this brings back so man memorys
Wheel of fate is the tougher boss than The Magician & The Emperor.

Some Of The Bosses In These Games Are Terrifying, they made this game perfect, I love a little horror in any game like this.
Sweet! Going to an arcade later with this in. Probably one of my favourite machines of all time.
Well at least they didnt make you suddenly take your lives on rescue part.
Kids these days don't know how good this game is ....
There are actually 5 extra health hidden in every chapter but you have to shoot something thats blocking it
Guess we'll wait and see if this comes true in a year...
I still have the ps3 version with my motion controller.
wow 2019! I didn't realize that!
No 2021
It just feels so wrong playing 3 without the shotgun :c Shoot outside the screen just didn't fit with this one.

So how's your finger after done playing this game?
Pain
omg, im HOTD 4, my gun grip feels so horrible, my palm is just covered in red dots when i finish
House of the dead 3 man is just so much child hood I love this when I was a kid
I used see the intro over and over again back in the day in a bar with arcade games, i had no corners to put in lol
JUST REALIZED THAT ALL HOUSE OF THE DEAD BOSSES ARE NAMED AFTER ARCANA
Love how it takes place in 2019 lol
2019...😀,these games never get old
Yes 2021
I feel bad for the guy that died in the start of the game and transformed into a mindless zombie
congratulations on your 200,000 views ash!!!!!
you deserve it!
