Where's my BROTHER!?

I wish Kojima got to finish Silent Hills.

>>344539223
See it through till the end. Then you'll understand.

>>344539223
It's basically Silent Hill: The Movie: The Game. Only good thing is Yamaoka, and I mean it with ONLY.
>>
And now we wait for the anon with the links.

I've not played Downpour yet and it's pretty cheap used.

Should I give it a shot? Is it complete shit or merely disappointing?
>>
>>344546390
It's good, not Team Silent good, but good.

Fair enough, i'll pick it up on my next FUCKING GAMESTOP run.

I'd say Silent Hill 4 was worse desu.

If Book of Memories doesn't count, Yes

2 = 1 = 3 > 4 = SM >>> Origins >>>>>> BoM >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Homecoming
>>
>>344547367
Shit, I'm stupid, change BoM with Homecoming
>>
>>344547367
So where would you put Downpour?

Better than Origins?
>>
>>344547502
I don't know where the fuck my head is.

2 = 1 = 3 > 4 = SM > Downpour >>> Origins >>>>>> Homecoming >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> BoM

Best Adventure Game: SH1
Best Story/Atmosphere: SH2
Scariest: SH3
Most Interesting Concepts: SH4

Someone who hates 4 as much as me

Nice to meet someone with some standards for a change.
>>
>>344539223
1-4 the only relevant games
rest is bad shit
don't listen to anyone
anything else fails as a SH game and mostly as a game in general

>>344545508
Enemies killing you with finishing moves was also nice.

It makes me think of RE7 and that makes me feel despair.

Homecoming at nice atmosphere, good sound/music design, unique and creepy enemy design for the most part
Passable animations and graphics
Tries to at least be a fan made silent hill game

And that's why it's better than the other shit one's.
So stop debating

Honestly my only problem with downpour was the fact I couldn't skip the fucking cutscenes

Besides that I think that was an ok silent hill game, I just got a bit disappointed

what
the
fuck
Have you even PLAYED those games?
SH4 is a massive number of leagues above SM.
SM is fucking shit.
literally meant as an action, thus no article: SM is literally fucking shit with it's micropenis covered in dicks and it's taking shit covered dicks up its ass, it's not even a SH game, it's just...

Meanwhile SH4 is a good game which tried to play around with the already a bit stale formula of SH games and did so in a great way. The story is great (Henry is NOT the protagonist, it's Walter so don't even start with this shit) and interesting and the enemies are all well designed with the sound being amazing.
Yes, the hospital felt more like a "let's take these unused artworks and put them in each room so that each room has something else fucked up in it" and some the backtracking could've been done more elaborately (albeit you spent in every area the same amount of time as you would in the old games, this time it's just split in two parts) but it was a good game.

>>344548475
>Homecoming at nice atmosphere
no
>good sound/music design
not really
>unique and creepy enemy design for the most part
nah brah
unless you like oversexualised nurses (my dick did, my sh heart did not) and just redesigns (bad ones) of old and movie monsters... and dolls :)
>Tries to at least be a fan made silent hill game
but it fails becasue it obviously wasn't done by fans :)
>>
>>344548475
Half the atmosphere is the music, which IS good.

Akira Yamaoka did the music for Homecoming and all the others except Downpour. He's fantastic.

The enemies are nonsensical. Not in the way that SH2 does it where the enemies make no literal sense but they can be traced back to abstract fears of James. Instead they have no reason to their existing.

Past the music and a couple decent spooky moments you get awful combat that you can't avoid, a predictable mystery and a cringe-worth performance of VA's who all knew the game was shit from day-one.
>>
>>344539223
I really liked it, except for combat. Looked great on PC. Music felt uninspired.
Then again, I like it, when they have a different take on an established series.
Didn't like the gore, but it gave a certain atmosphere, an other kind of dread.

BUT WE NEED A GUY WITH A HUGE SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD
>but sir, it'S alůready in another game and it's there for reason
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
I WANT A GUY WITH A BIG SWOOOOOORD
I WAS READING BERSERK YESTERDAY AND I LIKE ITTTTT UGHHHHHHHH

>>344549349
Y'know, there is a cool idea behind having Pyramid Head in every Silent Hill game. It lends to the idea that Silent Hill is some horrible location that Pyramid Head lords over to punish those stupid enough to enter.

It shits all over SH2 though (and since he wasn't in most the other SH games my headcannon wouldn't make sense anyways) but if you're going to destroy the legacy of such an excellent series you can retcon it to be canonically interesting


Instead he's just there with no real explanation or connection to the rest of the plot. Does he ever even get any sort of resolution in Homecoming or does he just stop showing up at a certain point?
