>most action heavy SH ever
>being THIS, THIS wrong

>being THIS, THIS much of a fanboy shitter

Is this bait? Literally everyone rates 2 the highest.

>worse mc in the series

Isn't more monsters a good thing for horror game? Especially after lack of them in 2?

But SH1 is THE best game in the series?

Wrong.

More monsters certainly does NOT improve any horror game. Sometimes, less is more, and SH2 had quite plenty of them already.

SH3 is the only game of the original trilogy that doesn't end with the player having a walmart sized stock of bullets and healing items.

Also, this

nigga, you literally gay??
Heather is top-tier MC of all times!

>SH3 is the only game of the original trilogy that doesn't end with the player having a walmart sized stock of bullets and healing items.

well gee wiz, maybe because you actually get to use your items all the fucking time

>edgy mallcore "I AM STRONK!! JUST WAIT AND SEE, TOTALLYNODADDYISSUES" cunt

Well, yeah, she's is boring, but TS made worse MC.

No, good Horror game needs more different monsters to surprise player again and again or he will stop care about them.

In SH2 monsters were pathetic.

>I have not played the game AND I am homosex
FTFY

Claudia Wolf nudes when

Why don't you just watch a lets play if you want to casually stroll through the game with out any challenge.

>No, good Horror game needs more different monsters to surprise player again and again or he will stop care about them.
all SH games have made do just fine with a limited enemy pool. And as many people agree, the monsters are usually the least important factor in the atmosphere and scariness of SH games.

>In SH2 monsters were pathetic.
only if you played below Normal difficulty. Plus, you could always argue that their "less aggressive" behavior fits the story.

SH2 on Hard is seriously challenging as hell at times.

Silent Hill
more like Silent RUN
SINCE ALL YOU DO IS SILENTLY RUN THROUGH THE WHOLE GAME
HAHA HAHA HAHA

more like Silent MAP

HAHA HAHA HAHA

You're still wrong, Martha :^)

>run out of arguments
>I know! I will post le reddit smiley meme to end the discussion on a smug note like a dumb fuck that I am :^)

Fucking kill yourself

Heather is cute. CUTE!

She's a magical girl.

SH2 fags who refused to acknowledge the importance of the Cult in SH and only care about standalone "muh personal drama" stories are the reason the series became copremesis post Team Silent. Pat yourselves on the back.

why would you replay a game you didnt like in the first place? are you fucking retarded OP?

>the least important factor in the atmosphere

Well, maybe it's cause there are not enough of them and most of them are fucking dogs?

>below Normal difficulty
They are more annyoying on higher difficulty, cause game has shitty mechanic and you need hit him with stick more times.

But monsters are pathetic, cause their desigh is fucking stupid.

>Only mc with a worth wild personality
>Makes jokes throughout the entire game
>boring

>worst MC in the series
>shit exploration

I really liked all the little comments Heather made when you inspected shit in SH3. Was an interesting way of handling internal monologue and gave her a lot of personality.

Henry isn't the main character, Walter is. Henry is the protagonist, but even that is debatable, because of Joseph.

>everyone praises 2 and 3
>my favorites are Homecoming and 4
>commonly considered the worst in the series

Yeah.

waifufags

There is no better horror premise/setting than that of SH4.
I just wish a competent and creative devteam got to make it.

>most action heavy SH ever
You realize the enemies are more numerous and powerful so you have to be tactical with your ammunition right? What kind of pleb kills every enemy when 90% of them are designed to be run past?

Homecoming is excellent horror game and a nice little SH spin off.

>game offers you a fucking submachine gun
>"DUDE YOU ARE MEANT TO AVOID, YOU JUST DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME, YOU DONT GET IT"

Nah, pretty sure you just have shit opinions mate

Remind any funny joke from her?

Like what? I remember only something about smoking and quiting, but that's far from enough.

>spin off
If they had literally not called it silent hill and made the exploration a little bit less of obtuse than I would call it good.
>using a powerful weapon on anything but bosses
Is silent hill 3 your first horror game or something?

Why would I pander to your retarded self-appointed ways of playing the game when there is more than enough ammo to kill anything and everything twice

Walter is boring as well. Just some crazy idiot with idiotic motivation.

That would be nice.

The series should have just fucking died after 4 anyway. It doesn't matter which game mediocre western devs try to emulate.

Why Heather is awesome.

>inb4 waifu fags.

Its IS litirally ok when Heather does it.

Been a long ass time since I played SH4 but that moment where you take the wall down in the apartment and you see the dude in the black is probably the most spoop moment ever in vidya

you waifufags ruin everything and everything you touch turns to shit by association

Books, shit in the apartment, clothes in the mall, items of Alessa's, the save stations, etc. Just play the game, inspect shit and read instead of barreling through the game as fast as possible so you can shitpost on Cred Forums.

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" is a all-in-one fix, that works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!

In case you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.

SH2-4 do not support Xinput gamepads. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M.

Slide Shattered Memories in between 1 and 4, and that'd be a perfect list.

Well, you read all this shit, can you tell me something her after that? Because, there weren't anything important or interesting about her in those.

You can slide that piece of shit back up your ass

When you do have to fight him, use freeze rounds. They slow his crazy ass down.

Silent Hill 4s combat is so miserable that I'd sooner take SMs no combat approach over it. Not to mention 4 has the blandest characters in the series, even more so than HC.

I never moved the goalpost you cuck. Did you only play the game this year or something?

Handgun, especially the second handgun, are objectively the best weapons for nemesis.

>1 is the trend setter, foundation of the series
>2 is the black sheep, stand alone game in many ways (with vague references throughout to the first)
>3 is the nostalgia bomb, largely ignoring the 2nd while looking back favorably at the first

am i talking about SH or DS?

How she feels about her dad before and after his death (especially once she knows what went down in SH1), her preference in literature, her thoughts on the Cult's God and religion, her reflections about her former self and her repressed memories, what she thinks about other people. I'm sure all of that is unimportant to you though.

>SH2 on Hard is seriously challenging as hell at times.

Stop fucking lying. SH2 is never challenging because there's a metric shitton of ammunition available in the game and you can literally shoot everything on every difficulty level.

It was one of the biggest gameplay flaws in SH2. They fixed in Sh3 where ammo is rather scarce.

I have a machine gun
>BUT ITS ONLY FOR THE BOSSES ANYWAY SO ITS NOT LEGITIMATE FLAW
Nah dude there s enough ammo to just slay everything anyway
>WHAT, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU CAN JUST RUN PAST THEM

I don't think you are even aware of how colossally dumb you are you shitlord

>SH3
>more action than Homecoming

Fully Metal Retarded OP

>ds or sh?
Only on a narrative level. Sh3 feels like a sequel to sh2 in terms of gameplay, but DS3 largely ignored all the great improvements 2 made after 1.

>Remind any funny joke from her?

m.youtube.com/watch?v=-XspFTQP7CU

>SH2 is the black sheep
That's the only game most people fucking mention or care about these days. Hell, SH2 became the standard format for SH after SH4.

...

SH.

DS is very akin to RE in terms like that

>3 is the black sheep for straying way too far off someone's dumb headcannon despite it being 99% the same as 2, and most worshipers of 2 who complain about certain things in 3 are too dumb and nostalgia-tinted to understand that their beloved 2 already did it all before

God damn, it's crazy how well SH2 - 3 - 4 hold up at high resolution.

I think Heather's apeal comes from that thing she borders on between cute and frumpy.
Like, at first i thought she has some unlikeable traits, she is very moody, but later you realise she is actually kind of funny.
Ill say this though, she has a serious problem with her temper, when she gets mad she is really mad. I only played SH3 last year for the first time, but i have never belived a video game characters tears of impotent rage until i saw Heather fly off the handle

This picture is just a gem.

why do SH3 threads always gotta go full lewd?

>dat uncanny shopped style

These are creepier than the fucking game.

...

It's a loaf you stupid cunt.

huh? if anything, i remember avoiding combat in SH3 as much as I could compared to the other game's in the series.

Unfortunatly for waifufags, Heather Mason is "the great white buffalo" i.e the one that git away.

There are no ther waifus like her exactly.
She has only apeared once again, and that didnt count, so ahe is not a consistant waifu like say, the RE girls.
No good porn.

So someone always gets super excited to early and blows there load and dumps the shitty "real" shops

They at least get the nowhere to go hoddie hooker thing right at least, i feel.

>also... Konami made this... Its an official fender. Y u do this 2 me konami?

Saved.

Can you really blame her though? the amount of psychedelic horror she had to go through would drive anybody insane.

SH2 had a bunch of cult nods, It just wasn't in your face all the time with it and one of the endings is directly linked to the cult. It's called subtlety.

Where can I find more fine pictures such as this?
Asking for a friend.

Rebirth is my favorite ending, gave it a tales from the crypt vibe, very creepy.

>Konami made this

Kek,my friend looks kinda like heather now that I think about it. She looks like a dude.

>Anybody.

He probably thought he had escaped it all anons...

mfw Harry nearly rage quit on Heather early on terrified he was raising the litiral spawn of Satan, but he later came around. Killed (a real human) to save her later and moved her far away.

>in the end, all he had was that chair, and his sweet Heather.

Harry was a good person ;_;

>dutch: so howd'all Japanese people feel about space jam?"

youtu.be/VANo1d8rycU

wrong again faggot, maybe you should play it for yourself instead of spouting dank memes you found online

2 is only challenging on Hard in the Pyramid Head sections, and even those can be cheesed. All the other enemies are just brought up to SH1/3 speed on a normal day, which admittedly makes Hard mode worth something.

Would you rather have her say, "A desk", "It's a Book", "A painting on the wall", "My dad's dead body"? That's mostly the kind of shit you get in RE games. No, her comments aren't an in depth, twenty page lecture about her feelings but you're being fucking dense if you think SH3 doesn't provide some character development in the inspection texts.

a-user?

...

I agree. I was just pointing out the perspective that most SH2 fans seem to have when it comes to the Cult. They either deny it's importance across all three games or outright refuse to believe SH2 has anything to do with them.

Harry is best vidya dad.

F

This is honestly the first time I've heard about this. I've never talked to anyone who has played the SH games and does that.

F

Silent Hill 1-3 are all pretty equal to me. I like all of them for different reasons. There's no reason for infighting. SH4 fags are delusional though.

SH4 is a game of extremes. It's really good when it's good but man does it drop the ball when it's shit.

The biggest fault with 4 is the repeated levels.

Besides that It's easily the most ambiguous SH title to date, some of it is hit or miss but ambiguous nonetheless which frankly after 3 games of repeated mechanics was a nice welcome.

i... I thought i could anons.

I wanted to buy SH3 HD for my pstriple just so i could get that platinum for the sake of my e-peen.

Sure i heard it was buggy, even unfinished but i could deal.

>take a quick look on youtube
>hear Heather's new voice.

i-i jist CANT ANONS OKAY??!

What is this. Muh cutest voice Heather... What have they DOOOONNNNEEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

...

2 is the best

The HD collection was a practical joke user.

Nearly every SH thread on here and the internet in general has people going on and on about how 1/3 suck, the cult sucks, SH2 is the best because no Cult and how SH2 has nothing to do with them. It doesn't help that most of the new games (even ones that involve the Cult) focus mainly on the protagonist's personal demons thus cementing the idea that the whole series should follow the template of SH2.

Maybe the series is dead enough that those people are being weeded out by now but I still see that shit all the time.

?!!

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNSSSSSSS??!

>mfw he called her Cheryl again.

And you're still wrong, Martha :^). Objectively so

You mean ?

What development? Until Harry, she's just running around monsters and jammed doors, then she comes home and saying with most bored voice "Dad, i home, something weird is going on". Then she's sad, after she wants revenge, just like John Wick after dead of his dog or any other character from any revenge movie. Then a lot stuff about crazy, stupid cult and Alessa. Then she kills god with something metal. Then "I like to be blonde, kek"

The End.

y r u do this user?

>gif

This gave me giggles. Source?

F

So, you won't forget real Heather.

Best. Grumpyfu.

This user's opinions are correct.

You're bringing up the bread store? Really? The one location in the game that is basically fucking with players who love to inspect shit? I actually got a kick out of that place too.

how can i get my ds4 working with 2-4?

I loved that little drawing Cheryl did of Harry in SH1. Harry just says "It's me". So cute.

>walk through hallways and see which doors aren't locked: the series

Is there an updated version to this? I'm gonna try the pc copies for the first time since my ps2 broke.

it's not. the best is 1.

But most of other texts are relevant to the story or character as much as

This! I was just trying to find this!

I think this image is more recent.

Step aside you plebs with shit taste, BEST Silent Hill girl coming through.

It's a shame whatever let's player you watched didn't have the attention span to read and explore user. Not my problem.

...

Thanks, user.

>daily reminder the ufo endings are canon

kek

They even used an actual child's drawing for the SH3 church map too.

>Most combat in the series
Well, the devs said themselves that they wanted a more aggressive type of horror, as opposed to SH2 where it was more psychological, it even has a reason with the story. You can still play it as any other Silent Hill. Hell, to get the bad ending you have to pretty much kill every single enemy you encounter, I don't think the game encourages you to fight your way through except for a few occasions.

I'll give you the exploration and pacing, the first half of the game drags on way too much and it's slow but as soon as you get to Silent Hill it picks up. We also have to remember that in SH1&2 there was a heavy emphasis on exploration, given that both protagonists where looking around town for someone; in SH3, it'd be pretty dumb for Claudia to lure Heather to Silent Hill just so that she's wandering around town without any clue, and the same goes for Vincent if his plan was to use Heather to stop Claudia.

It's shame you can't use your own words describe whatever important you found about heather during your exploring.

Except for generic (She likes books) or obvious (She likes her daddy) stuff.

I applaud your effort to respond to my easily mistaken for bait although very genuine allegations. The problem is that no matter what game and what story, gameplay suffering cannot ever be excused, not even after the fact, because "story-wise it kinda makes sense". That's just silly. Whether developers consciously made SH3 more action oriented or not, I will still not enjoy that thing about it the same.

>most action heavy SH ever, literally more enemies and combat than in 4 and Homecoming
The fuck? You can run away from them like in every other SH game. Homecoming forced you fight the monsters.

I agree that it was the first sign of downfall of the series but it is still a good game, just more regular horror than the first two. My least favourite of the three tho. I even think that REmake had more tense atmosphere than SH3. And everything after 3 it was shit and yes I played them multiple times during all those years.

It's not being a shitter to point out how wrong that statement is.

Sure, you get a fucking SMG, but you can still avoid most of the combat in SH3, unlike SH4 where you have to fight the mortal enemies at least while herding the ghosts around so they'll be at a distance while you solve a puzzle.


Retard.

>you can run away from them

I can also just not play the game. That's literally the same kind of argument.

You can also turn off the monitor on boss fights to make them harder.

So you must play with self imagined challenges for game to be played as intended?

It has the best portrayal of the otherworld. With nightmarish creatures that look like bags of rotten flesh with tumors everywhere. Morgues with bodies everywhere, people being tortured. It's a truly hellish nightmare.

...

I can genuinely see that as immersion breaking yet totally worth mod. Fuck whoever thought that a 3-second long fade in/fade out delay for opening the map was a good idea.

No, never said anything like that.


No it fucking isn't. The series was literally designed around the idea that players should flee instead of engaging every single fucking monster.

>being bothered by 3 fuckmothering seconds

...Really?

You motherfuckers need to stop playing Silent Hill games. They're obviously not for you.

Jesus christ nigger, just use your fucking brain.

I as a player should avoid enemies not because that is some kind of intended way of playing the game, but because avoiding them is absolutely necessary. Necessary meaning that fighting them is impsosible, not feasible or straight up resulting in getting killed.

Of which none is ever happening because you can and you always could just kill every single shit in any SH game.

Your retarded opinion directly translates to modern stealth genre design that appeals to both stealth and loud gameplay style. I dont want to sneak because sneaking is FUN, I want to sneak because open confrontations will fuck my shit up.

tl;dr you are retarded

No it was not. You had tons of ammunitions to kill everything in game twice by the end of sh1-2. Resident evil remake was made with such idea and it's the only game I know where it actually works. The only place where it is better to run is the city which oh what is surprise almost not included in the third game.

Well I tend to open the map a bit too often in SH games, usually at least once per room or two.

It feels like game is intentionally wasting my time.

I played them since the first one, fuck off waifufaggot.

Play the game on hard, not on new game plus. There. Your problem there is solved.

So have I. Your complaint about the enemies in SH3 is stupid. Your stupid. Go fuck yourself.

I believe most of the decisions made in SH3 where conscious, Team Silent seemed like the type of guys who don't just throw around ideas without giving them thoughts. And I agree, I don't think it means that they are flawless, but I guess it's nice to see that they follow what the game and story are trying to tell without flip flopping around.

Every one has their preferences, and I can see why you think a much more aggressive type of horror can be annoying. I too hated parts of the game where rooms where filled with enemies and I had to be forced to kill every one to make it through.

I guess I praise the game because of it's graphics, gameplay, artistic direction and a few highlights such as the whole hospital part and the church. I also believe that Heather is a believable character, I dunno, she feels like a person and Vincent is perhaps my favorite character out of all the SH series.

For all of you who denies more emphasis on combat in sh3 watch the making od sh 2&3 on youtube. They are each half an hour long. There's a line where some dev says with sh3 they were trying to make more regular horror game with hellish atmosphere and action so it's somewhat right.
I'm emulating grandia 1 right now and the 10 seconds loading screens every fucking time you open menu or change map or engage in combat are infuriating me.

She likes shopping!

...

>I as a player should avoid enemies not because that is some kind of intended way of playing the game, but because avoiding them is absolutely necessary. Necessary meaning that fighting them is impsosible, not feasible or straight up resulting in getting killed.

That's fucking stupid and not how it should be. And no, it does not translate to modern stealth because nobody said anything about sneaking around the monsters (though that is possible with some levels and turning off the flashlight, though extremely trying given how dark it gets doing so).

Only retarded nigger is you for thinking an OPTION in the game is bad.

Yes it goddamn was you fucking stupid niggering cunt. The designers literally said themselves that you should be choosing to run away in most instances. Also, you did not always enough ammo, not like the Resident Evil games where you could smartly amass ammo and use headshots to defeat most enemies. SH games on their hardest settings were considerably limiting on their ammo drops, not to mention making some bosses borderline sponges.

In short, you're both fucking retarded idiots. Stay the fuck wrong.

I was gonna make a joke about you opening the map way too often but I realized I do it too
>find a new door
>check the map, you never went there
>open the door
>check the map, yep, it's a new room
I dont know why I keep doing it.

Except you consider your OPTION the only true way of playing the game, the way it was meant to be played, you backpedaling, goalpost-moving, shit taste edgelord.

i thought i already reported u

I'm sure you'll call me out on bringing up the SHwiki but look at Heather's entry on there.

All the personality traits associated with her are learned through in-game dialogue or items the player can inspect. Nearly every fucking paragraph on there talking about her personality says "when Heather examines [item]" followed by what we learn about her from said item.

Butterface, but i have a feeling she has a nice ass.

Doesn't mean they were making gun-ho action like the OP claims, though. You never fight that many more enemies than some instances in the two games before it. Nor does the combat play any more action-heavy other than letting you get a machine gun and flamethrower as weapons. And considering that the first game had a pew-pew alien laser gun and the second had literal spray cans that could kill show they were just carrying on the tradition of giving committed players some neat weapons.

I think one of the games had a map-open counter in the end game rate screen. Origins or Shattered Memories? Or whatever other, I can't remember. I remember I opened the map like 600 times or something.

...

Except I do not. I never once said you had to avoid the enemies and sneak around them is the ONLY way to play it. Don't go putting words into my mouth you rock chomping mongoloid thunder cunt.

>using backpedaling and goalpost moving wrong

You are beyond retarded, kid. Leave and don't come back until you're actually old enough to post.

Dude, SH3 literally starts with you carrying a fucking Uzi with being unable to escape the enemies, forced to fight them until you die.

Game is so unapologetic about it that I don't see why you feel the urge to defend its honor like some whiteknighting cuck.

All official guides teach you to use the close combat weapons, not run from enemies. And once again, REmake guide tells you to run since the first pages. I'm not saying you can't run from enemies in sh but saying it's the best way to play is wrong.

Do we all do this user. Getting around Silent Hill games is a way bigger thing than say Resident Evil games.

I thought I was just dumb but...

>kid

And to think that I entertained your shit opinions seriously.

Oh, look at the poor baby getting upset because someone called him out for what he really is. Boo hoo.

>shit opinions

Hardly shit when telling facts, retard.

There's more monsters so it's natural for the player to fight them more. Watch let's plays or streams, especially blind plays or of people who played the games years ago. They all kill enemies they can, only speedrunners run from them.

...

>The series was literally designed around the idea that players should flee instead of engaging every single fucking monster.
>I never once said you had to avoid the enemies

Except you kinda did. I guess they didn't cover basics of debating in your GED crash course you shitter.

Dude you get uzi and katana half game through. After that tho...

>SH3 literally starts with you carrying a fucking Uzi with being unable to escape the enemies, forced to fight them until you die.

You didn't actually play the game did you?

Never said it was the best way, just that the game makers literally encouraged you to run because they wanted the monsters to be that scary and not engaged every time. And official guides don't really mean dick since they're not made by the game makers offering their strategies, just that the guides are recognized as being the most accurate in their content.

...

No, I didn't. And really, accusing me of having a GED? Sounds like somebody is projecting their shit education if you're resorting to such childish insults. But whatever, keep digging yourself a deeper hole because you got spanked for being retarded and wrong.

>SH3 literally starts with you carrying a fucking Uzi

Yes, a DREAM SEQUENCE

>being unable to escape the enemies

Except that's wrong. You can run past them just as you do in the actual visit to the amusement park

>forced to fight until you die

Or until you reach the rollercoaster and Heather gets creamed by the cart as part of the dream.

It's not "whiteknighting" to say the game isn't some kind of RE4 action fest.

>cuck meme

Fuck off with your idiocy.

>uses ad hominem first
>acts all pissy when someone returns the favor

The only thing I am accusing you of is that you are dumb as fuck and that you are not able of comprehending simple logic.

I'm even going to let you have the last word so fire away you cuck.

I don't understand. My argument is 100% accurate, game does start like that. What kind of relation is between the gameplay and plot is of absolutely no importance.

Nobody here compared SH3 to RE4, it's not my fault your mind appears to only work in binary. The only thing I said was that it was the most action heavy title IN THE SERIES.

The homogenuous concentration of stupidity in this thread is through the fucking roof.

What ad hominem, all I did was call you retarded because you clearly are with your "you totally said sneaking is the only way to play the game, huuur muuur durrrr" like some sperg getting triggered by someone not-quite saying "git gud" or some shit. You're the one who can't handle simple logic and instead just spout shit like "you have a GED and failed your classes" because you lack any actual argumentative skills to properly debate with people.

And really, the last word card? Now you're just being a flat out defeatist who thinks me responding will prove you right. It won't no matter how much you delude yourself, bub.

There's a line between encouraging you and making you to run. In old thief games the level was failed if you kill someone in most missions. In Resident Evil remake if you kille zombies they will return as a much stronger killing machines. In Silent Hill which also has lots of backtracking it's just easier to kill monsters combining firearms and close combat weapons. Oh, lokk at sh4. That's the game that MAKES you to run from the ghost. Too bad the game is still shit tho. And I'm not even saying sh3 is bad, it was my fav for years untill I recently replayed first 4 and suddenly realised it feels more like an addon than a full game or something like that. It still looks great and is a good game but it's a first LAZY game that the devs made. The first game should have been a resident evil clone - they made an unique horror game. The second one was suddenly more suspense that horror with all those metaphors and psychological stuff. And in the third one it looks like they just said oh well let's just give the people what they want and make a small game about it. I have thoughts that it's so short because the graphics was so good and they were complaining about limitations, that's definetely why they throw out the city exploration almost entirely in third game but still. SH3 was just not such a great game as the first two, it was a SEQUEL.

It always amuses me when peple say RE4 was a survival horror. RE4's fanbase is almost as delusional and ignorant as nintendo fanboys tho.

Stoppit you two!
Cmon guise!

It's no more action heavy than the previous games. Just because you get an SMG doesn't mean it's got more action, you still have the same clunky mechanics as the previous games with only some minor polish to how fast Heather can maneuver compared to Harry and James, and a few instances of maybe 4-5 enemies which doesn't mean much when parts of the previous games could have you facing a conga line of foes in some areas.

>What ad hominem
>Only retarded nigger is you for thinking an OPTION in the game is bad.

That ad hominem. But hey, please, go on and continue to argue how the series should be played with your personal and subjective ways of making the game harder by handicapping yourself for no reason at all.

What's wrong with encouraging things? If anything, it's better to have the option between fight or flight instead of just one or the other, allows you to play the game whichever way you want instead of only one way every single time.

But what's the point of flight when you can relatively effortlessly fight everything? How hard can this possibly be to understand. Enemies aren't some obsolete fetch side quests, they are literally the main object of the genre/game, and they dictate everything.

You see, it's better when it's done like in deues ex 1 or vtm bloodlines, here it's just easier to kill enemies and no matter what you think it's natural for a player to kill enemies and to run from them when it's not somehow restricted.

Now I never played Silent Hill on hard mode, but I would assume it's to save on ammo and healing supplies, especially whenever a boss comes.

>99,999 views

So you're really going to fixate on me calling it an option? Seriously? That's just laughable.

>personal and subjective ways of making the game harder

One, people who have actually played the games know of this option and recognize it. Doesn't mean they adhere to it, but at least they know about it, unlike you.

And two, it's not "handicapping" yourself because nobody said you couldn't fight off the monsters if you felt the need to. Nor did I or anyone else say things like you to pretend your super low on ammo.

By all means though, keep nitpicking what I'm saying because you can't just accept people may choose to run past the enemies and that some nonexistent individual is "forcing" you to play the game in only that manner.

Not to run I meant.

Most top players on videos use almost entirely close combat weapons with regular monsters on hard modes.

I read it and, yes, except for detail about switchblade and stun gun (but still it tells more about Harry'es character than her's), it's all generic boring shit about teenager. You can describe Chloe with this shit, only later loved memes and was lesbian.

And most of it doesn't have any impact on the story, which is bad on it's own, cause they basically turned this into story about saving the world, instead of revenge, that would be at least somehow personal.

>they are literally the main object of the genre/game

Except they aren't. At no point in any of the games (barring the ghosts in SH4) are you obligated to fight the monsters. If one wishes to, they can run past areas with the monsters and just nab the key items needed to progress, since everything freezes when you're examining/interacting with things. Not to mention some do simply because they want to conserve ammo and health items for the boss battles.

You should really re-read this entire discussion because you clearly don't even know what fucking point you are trying to defend anymore, since you are clearly re-quoting my own arguments and trying to refute them with a completely different point in mind.

>so you are really going to hold me on for saying what i said

Yes, that's what discussion is all about you dumb fuck. If you dont wan't people to use what you said against you then stop fucking saying those things for fucks sake.

You didn't understand me, I meant to say that game is spooky because there are enemies everywhere. Items are scarce because you need them, to again, heal/attack enemies. You use flashlight depending on whether you want enemies to spot you or not. The entire tension dynamic in the game depends and revolves around enemies.

So to go around and say "ehh enemies dont mean shit" kinda nullifies and makes their actual existence sort of moot.

I'm not going to stop because I didn't say anything wrong you fucking imbecile. The games have encouraged running from the monsters as an option and that's fucking it. It's not a self-imposed challenge. It's not a handicap. It's just a fucking option. Yet you keep fixating on it like I said "Knife run only. No health pickups whatsoever. Final destination."

Seriously, fuck off already with your retardation.

>games have encouraged running from the monsters as an option
>games have been made around the idea of running from enemies

So which one is it? Because you sure are too dumb to stick with your own story here. Which is, what yet once again, makes you a dumb fuck.

You dumb fuck.

Considering SH enemies have never really been that much of a challenge, saying they don't mean much isn't entirely wrong. The majority of them are slow and plodding, only being a hindrance in levels where you're both in a tight corridor (and given SH3 had its share of areas with pitfalls, running was a dicey decision unless you were careful). Meanwhile, RE had enemies that could be slow (like regular zombs), or wicked fast and agile (like the hunters and dogs) which meant running was more of escaping without damage than just conserving your ammo.

SH3 enemies are a fairly big pain in the ass, or hindrance as you said.

Those dogs at the beginning of the mall for an instance. And these particularly escalates further with the SH4 and ghosts and all the other shit. Mind you, sh3 and 4 aren't hard in any way, but enemies are definitely not as easy to just ignore as in SH1 and 2.

Those mean the exact same thing you ignorant fuck. They designed the games with the option to run should you want to. Jesus titty fucking Christ you are so fucking dense to be getting technical about this when the statements amount to the same fucking thing. At this point, you're either a fucking troll or just outright too fucking stupid to grasp the bottom line; that it's an option that is no way forced upon the player.

Seek medical attention.

>muh technicalities

Is that what pissy little scrubs like you have to tell themselves when they finally realize after 20 minutes of high speed low drag shitposting that they actually lost the argument?

Because if so, very well.

>lost the argument

If you want to delude yourself into thinking so, be my guest.

...

SH4 wasn't that bad. It might not have been for more hardcore fans of the series who came to always expect the flashlight/radio combo and DARKNESS in the levels, but it was a nice addition to the series that tried something new, for better or worse.

You have no fucking idea what you're saying.

oh, well, tell me where i wrong, please.

I love SH2 but none of it could have happened without the events of SH1 and the cult. No cult = no SH2. People that deny the importance of the cult really doesnt 100% understand all of the story and lore of 2

>In SH2 monsters were pathetic.
You were playing the wrong game if you thought SH2 relied on monsters other than the meaning of their designs to do what the game wanted to do.

Everywhere. She has plenty of development from the moment the game starts to before finding her dad dead. After meeting Claudia, she starts having doubts about what's going on, especially since that's when the world becomes a nightmarish parody. And the moment she returns to the normal world, she unloads on Douglas because she thinks he had something to do with what had just happened. Later, in the hilltop center, she doesn't stand by while Vincent shittalks her dad. Between all of that, you get snippets that tell you a bit about her as well. For example, when you look around some stores she'll make no attempt to hide the urge to shoplift if there was anything worth taking and not soaked in blood or looking like it could bleed.

I got the collection as a gift because they knew how big of a sh fan I am, but even I couldn't get all the achievements. They kept crashing and freaking out. Especially getting the achievements for SH3. It froze while I was going for the 2 saves or less and complete the game in less than 3 hours achievements. I finally got it after giving it two tries and stopped at over 700 gamerscore for the entire collection

My point is its not worth it. Don't do it.

Are you saying those monsters were ok, cause devs didn't intent for them to kill a player at all?

Are you calling this development? She acts like any person would act in this situation.

You can literally cut off everything before Harry and game wouldn't lose anything.

They're great design-wise.

Except it would. You wouldn't get why Heather/Cheryl acts the way she does or how she's developed as a teenager. Seriously, you don't know what you're fucking talking about.

Yes, actually. The game goes much deeper into the psychological horror stuff than any other SH game. Monsters that can be killed are, by definition, action horror stuff. I don't think they intended them to be much of a scare factor at all, aside from the first time you see them.

Of course, that doesn't apply to Pyramid Head for obvious reasons.

Ok, does that mean, game overall would be worse, if monsters were able to kill you AND had important for the story desigh?

Or is it too much to ask?

They can kill you if you're playing on harder settings and suck at fighting them.

I finished 3 a few days ago and am currently playing 4. 1 and 2 are similar in difficulty, with 2 being slightly easier and both full of ammo and healing items. 3 was quite a shock since finally the melee weapons all had balanced advantages/disadvantages and ammo and healing items were much more scarce. I think 3 is mechanically superior to 1 and 2. It's tense as fuck. Also the mall and amusement park were cool locations. 1 and 2 had better stories (though the good ending of 3 was quite sweet). 4 is really interesting so far. Very different but the apartment mechanics are cool and the ghosts make me shit my pants at times.

need a few more >'s between 3 and 4

>You wouldn't get why Heather/Cheryl acts the way she does or how she's developed as a teenager.

You mean, you wouldn't understand that she doesn't trust strangers, like Douglas, cause cult is looking for her? And as teenager, she's most generic everyday teenager you can find.

Are they? Well, maybe because of bad controls and shitty camera. You think, it's also part of genius game desigh, right?

>You mean, you wouldn't understand that she doesn't trust strangers, like Douglas, cause cult is looking for her?

That, and how she's turned out as a person who has literally lived three different lives.

>she's the most generic everyday teenager you can find

Says you, most teenagers hate their parents for whatever reasoning their hormone addled minds can come up with.

>maybe because of bad controls and shitty camera

And the fact that on the harder settings the enemies can hit much harder and are more aggressive. Also, nobody was calling the design flawless, jesus christ.

3's story isn't too bad, but the payoff is only fully appreciated if you have played SH1 or have complete knowledge of the story. Otherwise, it'd be like playing X-2 without playing FFX and wondering why the fuck the bitch in the hotpants is looking for Meg Ryan.

What really sucked was how few endings the game had. Not counting the alien ending, you have the two, which was a serious step down from SH2's 6 (originally 4), 7 if you count the born from a wish side-scenario.

Which is another thing that was a bummer, they never tried that again with letting you play as another character from the story of a SH game and having to do things as that character. It would have been pretty neat to see what Douglas was up to during the parts Heather wasn't around, since he mentions seeing monsters and shit himself.

I don't think 3's story was bad at all. I never got disinterested in what was going on, and I loved Douglas and sometimes Vincent. Rating Silent Hill 1-3 always involves nitpicking because they're all fantastic. Sure, the lack of endings was a bit of a bummer. The "possessed" ending is just sad. It would have been awesome to play as Douglas while Heater was at the hospital or when Douglas confronts Claudia at the amusement park.

Way I could see it is maybe you unlock mini-scenarios for each part, with the amusement park being the last one.

First one starts right after Heather goes to the bathroom in the mall, with shit going south and Douglas maybe spotting Claudia but always failing to catch up with her.

Then the second would be how he leaves the mall and whatever prompts him to go to Heather's house.

Finally, you play him as he checks Leonard's house (which I'm guessing must have been in that area of the town) before going to the park and of course ending with him getting fucked up by whatever Claudia did to incapacitate him.

Only real problem I have with the game is the dream at the start that showcases literally every enemy in the game and doesn't leave you any surprises.

Pretty sure it's only the closers, doggus, and whatever the fuck you describe the pendulums as. Pretty sure none of the slurpers are there, and certainly not the nurses or missionaries.

That would be perfect. I'm noticing a trend in your filenames. I was unlucky enough to watch Silent Hill Revelations on cable last week. The shear force of my anger compelled me to finish it. WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING?

>Silent Hill 2 nurses
>Vincent love interest
>Pyramid Head
>Merry Go Around (powered by pyramid head) boss fight ends by HUGGING
>That fucking Pyramid Head duel at the end
>Heather meets Travis at the end

That's not even a quarter of the cancer in that movie

It's literally 1>2>3 in my eyes, though 2 is only a little bit better than 3 for me, they're almost equal.
Also, Heather was a great main character, what?
That being said 1 is the absolute best, with 2 right behind it.

>Vincent love interest

INCESTOUS love interest, don't forget Heather and he are first cousins, which they seem to ignore with more ignorance than the girls in Tenchi.

That movie was just a stream of hot piss on SH's grave. It annoyed the fuck out of me seeing shit like Heather's outfit, actual SH maps and symbols throughout the movie. Like most vidya movies, they tried to add a bunch of shit like that to make you think "oh wow, they played the game" and then the rest of the movie is just retcons and fanfiction-tier shit without any substance.

That ending with all the potential sequel shit happening is just hilarious in hindsight considering how bad the movie fucking bombed.

1: best atmosphere and art direction
2: best characterization and story
3: best at making you feel helpless, scariest in the series

haven't played the rest but I hear 4 is okay too I guess. The gimmick of the ghosts sounds neat but limited inventory space is a bit of a boner killer

Fucking hell. Why did they even make Revelation? I'm a pretty new Silent Hill fan, so I don't understand what logic went into making a bastardization of Silent Hill 3 in 2012, with some famous actors as well! Did Tom Hulett cause this?

>Did Tom Hulett cause this?
no I think it was just an early case of Konami pimping all of their marketable brands for quick money. please look forward to the upcoming MGS movie.

4 is severely underrated. I'd argue that its scarier than 3. Give it a go.

My torrent client is ready

can some mod ban him please?

If Silent Hill 2 was released today it would be branded same as TLoU. Good game but """cinematic"""

Sh3 had actual gameplay and difficulty.

This is fact. I'm not saying one is better or anything just stating facts.

They say if you play Neutral Milk Hotel and Silent Hill at the same time, they sync up.

/thread

They had plans for a sequel from the start, but then the original film makers got fucked up. One got arrested or some shit while the other got roped into another project.

Sad thing is, the movie had potential since it promised to be more faithful, and yet it did so sloppily while STILL missing the point of what it was meant to do.

>comparing SH2 to fucking TLOU
Nah fuck off

Why did you say that name?!

SH4 had one of my favorite premises and introductions of the series, but everything outside of the initial room sections grated on me after a while.

I loved trying to find all you could in Henry's apartment, feeling trapped and supernaturally isolated in a perfectly calm environment, but the ghosts, hauntings, and escort quests have kept me from replaying it.

>Sh3 had actual gameplay
that's funny because it's gameplay was the exact same as 2

>threading your own post

KEK
LA
KEK

But seriously, nothing about SH2 would make people call it "cinematic" in the least. It had the same balance of gameplay and cutscenes as SH3 did.

Nah. SH2 is a massively overrated movie game.

But it was more action heavy! Didn't you read the OP? It was a billion times more action oriented with Heather's kung fu gun slinging!

Nice edit, bub.

>movie game

And you're still wrong.

>movie game
>don't even encounter another human character for like the first hour
ok

No it wouldn't. You have to remember that horror games have a """"cinematic"""" fell to them by nature. They're horror games. They have to be more emotionally driven than anything else.

>n-nice edit, b-bub...
Pathetic.

Fine points but utterly retarded feminist agenda in a medium such as vidya which barely matters societally. Talk about Silent Hill and Heather, don't make it about muh dumbass political zeitgeist.

Enjoy your delusion, bucko. You and the guy who didn't know what fucking ad hominem actually means.

The apartment stuff was some good avant garde shit for the time but that's about the only compliment I can give the game.

>these "filenames"

Geez, that's writing up there with TP.

As in garbage.

Everyone knows Silent Hill Downpour is the best Silent Hill game. It has the best controls, story, and graphics.

Then what's your filename, hotshot?

It's okay, sweetie. Go sit on an ice pack or something. That oughta ease the pain.

The one that it was posted with. What the hell about it is like the fanbase or a mental illness?

>>most action heavy SH ever, literally more enemies and combat than in 4 and Homecoming
wrong.
You are not forced into combat any more than in the first 2 games, they did not change the combat system dramatically either.
>shit exploration
you have to explore just as much as the other games, you're just given multiple environments to do so rather than it just be the town for the third time.
>6 hours long on a blind run
you mean like every Silent Hill and classic survival horror game?
If it somehow took you 6 hours to beat SH2 blind you might actually be retarded.
>worst MC in the series
she's literally the most fleshed out character by virtue of being fleshed out in both 1 and 3.
>pacing and plot out the ass
the pacing for SH3 is perfect, it's a slow descent into Hell that's gripping from start to finish.
This is why I feel it was the perfect conclusion to the trilogy, SH1 is sharp and gritty, SH2 is sombre and atmospheric, SH3 is bizarre and fulfilling taking both the religious and personal themes and combining them into a finale.

I think you just let waifufags ruin it for you, SH1, 2 and 3 are equally excellent and for different reasons.

Pretty sure the only in any pain is you, being called out for you faggotry. Just shuffle off while you have some bit of dignity, sport.

the fanbase is full of dumb idiots tho, some might have mental trouble. never know

How does that relate to it being fused with Tron, though?

Gonna need three or four ice packs from the looks of it.

Tron is for dumb idiots who may have mental problems. The connection is now linked.

I hate you guys. You're too busy arguing about dumb shit to bite my bait:

>this level of reaching

Jesus christ, mate.

Have a pity (you)

Thanks man I need my fix

Which Silent Hill is your favorite? Mine is a tie between 1 and 3.

I like 3 because I felt it had the best horror.

I love SH1 because of how detailed the environments were for a PS1 game. Also, I love the locations and monsters.

Your turn Cred Forums.

Shattered Memories.

I didn't hate Downpour.

I liked how the snow interracted with the flashlights. Certainly the best non-team Silent game and it's pretty cozy.

Smewhere between SH2 and Shattered Memories.

Both found the balance I appreciate between fear of psychological instability, and tragic character studies.

It's not a terrible game by any means but it's no Silent Hill. I give it props for not reusing any monsters or characters from Silent Hill 1-4 like all the other western games.

>you have to explore just as much as the other games
Yeah. Great big town right?

youtube.com/watch?v=7jbhCOCdHUw

That's fair. Shame that most of the monsters in Downpour were zombie tier.

Even with all of Homecoming's monster recycling they at least had some interesting boss designs.

>Remind me why you guys consider this to be the best in the series again?
The truth is... SH2 is actually the best.

...

>the reuse of the town somehow negates the other places not having much to explore

You are so fucking stupid.

And sh3 was your first sh game so?

Fuck off the town parts were great in silent hill games.

Never said it was, nice goalpost shift.

Are you retarded? The town was the exploration not the levels. Otherwise resident evil had more exploration by your logic. Fuck off sh3 baby.

I didn't say it was bad, learn to fucking read.

drawing importance on the cult was what drove the movies to shit among other things.

>LITERAL
>TOASTER PASTRY
>JUMP SCARE

The levels are explored too. Stop making arbitrary rules to what counts as exploration you goalpost shifting nigger.

>huur, you only played the first game

Keep being retarded, retard.

>a writer, a clerk, a teenage girl, and a twat
I chuckled.

Twin Perfect favorite game Silent Hill 3

So IT WAS your first sh. Nice, nice.

Watching Revelations gave me a whole new appreciation for the first Silent Hill movie.

It wasn't amazing, but at least it tried.

>HOW DARE THOSE GAIJINS REMAKE SH1 EVEN THOUGH SM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT OTHER THAN BASIC PLOT POINTS

Or are you mad at the fact it was made with the Wii motion controls in mind.

>most action heavy SH ever
so?
>shit exploration
more than 2
>6 hours long on a blind run
longer than the other two games
>worst MC in the series
James is defined entirely by his reason for being in Silent Hill, he's outrageously fucking boring otherwise

>Replaying it is a chore beyond words.
I can't imagine bothering to replay SH2. Nothing fucking happens until the very end of that game

No, but clearly you can't argue anything other than a shitty ad hominem like the retard you are.

Nah, SH3 was a good bit shorter than the first two games by a fair margin. It's not Ico levels of short, but one thing a lot of people noted back when it dropped was how it felt shorter than previous entries.

who the fuck posts like this?

I played all three within a month of each other and they all felt right around the same length. The only way someone could end up with outrageously different times is if they ran in circles a bunch during the beginning of SH1, and 2 really /should/ have been shorter than it was, anyway.

Eileen is fucking beautiful

>2 should have been shorter than it was anyway
are you serious?
I think my first blind of that game was about 4.5 hours.
And yeah, 1 2 and 3 are all about the same length.

I can't imagine why anyone would act like any of the original games are bad when they all do what they do so well.
1 is mysterious and gritty, 2 is sadder and more subdued, 3 is harsh and conclusive and 4 is the experimental one that while technically the lesser of its predecessors truthfully is probably the scariest.
I can understand having a favorite among the 4, but saying any of them is somehow bad but not the others just doesn't make sense to me.
It seems more like desperately trying to rationalize disliking any other segment of the fanbase.

Who fucking knows. These threads will have mostly shit in them, then one or two threads will be super civil and free any shitposting.

Goes without saying this wasn't one of the good ones considering we had some idiots who think spouted shit about SH3 like they knew the game inside out when they clearly fucking didn't.

Not nearly enough girls out there with brown hair + green eyes

She's a really interesting character, It's a shame that you can't learn anything about her because all the files are focused on walter

>But what's the point of flight when you can relatively effortlessly fight everything?

getting good clear times at the end, famalam

There wasn't much point to getting fast times, though. Not like RE where the games would limit unlocks to certain record times.

I would have liked to have learned about all the victims in general.

You require under a certain playtime in order to achieve the coveted 10 star rank in any silent hill game, and the 10 star rank unlocks shit in all the games as well.

Not for weapons, however. You can get all the bonus weapons just by replays or beating a certain difficulty.

green hyperblaster and green hyperspray are inaccessible outside of 10 star rank

longer beam saber and flame thrower are 10 star rank rewards too

two male youtubers that made excellent silent hill commentary, hours long, and then sold out by having regular shallow updated youtube videos. Then they brought this chick who contributed nothing except for maybe goodboypoints they could try to score for themselves. Sad really. Dropped their channel for over a year now. If you really want to see their fall from grace, watch - The real Silent Hill Experience videos, then you'll see her pop up on their later videos, and you'll know, you'll know.

...

I don't, that title will always belong to SH1 for setting the tone, mystery and atmosphere for the series to follow.

But I will rate 3 higher than 2 simply for having a better-focused experience and "intensity" factor, even if the lack of town exploration indeed kinda sucked.

Was Origins really that bad?

I must have played it for less than an hour or played a demo and it didn't seem that bad.

Is Douglas the Barry Burton of the SH series?

He's up there, but sadly didn't get to do anything of real note. Though I would say his desire to be Superman is on the same level as Barry's famous "Jill Sandwich" line.

Tgis is all too much implications for "muh dick" in one sitting guise. Why is this shattered memories so expensive for PS2???

SH3 has such shitty pacing that it feels worse than 1 and 2 by an order of magnitude.

Guise, seriously guise.

Not seeing the resemblance lad

Silent Hill Arcade is underappreciated. It reveals that Gradius is part of the Silent Hill canon.

youtube.com/watch?v=L7bDofyxZ1g

...

Story lore notwithstanding, it plays like a portable greatest hits rendition of early SH with a couple twisted mechanics via world jumping and weapon durability. The latter was almost a good idea really but since Travis can hold infinite weapons it's nigh pointless. That, and guns eventually shelve them anyways. Overall, it's not a poor game if you play it for the gameplay, just don't expect much from the story.
