They thought it was too different.

>>12416570
It's actually scary unlike 1 2 and 3

>>12416589
I found the first 3 games scary but SH4 wiped the floor with them in how terrifying it was.

>>12416570
They do?

>>12416570
Because the ultra high highs of silent hill 1-3 were fresh in everyone's minds and a new game that felt like reskin of some other horror game which included busy work like breakable weapons and back tracking through levels and unkillable enemies that chase you through entire maps and an escort quest that takes up half the game was a major step down. In retrospect The Room is a fine game on its own merits but contemporarily it was held up against the absolute peak of not just SH but horror games in general and it did not rise to the lofty standards gamers were blessed to enjoy pre-2006.

>>12416938
3 was considered underwhelming and disappointing upon release.

>>12416938
>>12416970
Reddit Hill 2 is the worst Team Silent game and it was considred sloppy slop upon release but as time passed pseuds and posers elevated it into the overrated status it's known for today

>>12416570
Turns out fans dislike the horror adventures of an actual average Joe (Not a novelist, not a married man with an inheritance of a successful apartment complex or literally the avatar of God) and instead wanted an anemic japanese schoolgirl with a demon arm.

>>12416979
But it's so mature and original (even though its plot is copied from a German opera) so surely it's the best game ever, also Yahtzee liked it

>>12417030
Or when James literally says out loud that he needed Pyramid Head to punish him for his sins. But no, it's the modern SH games that are lacking subtlety and nuance.

>>12417048
i loathe sh2 specifically because pseuds have to look at everything in any game after and scream OH SHIT WHAT DOES THIS ENEMY REPRESENT IN THIS PROTAGONISTS WARPED PSYCHE?!

But that's the best part, no horror game where you have the advantage over the enemies can be considered "scary" if you can just deal with them and move on. SH4 had its problems but in terms of scare factor it was a cut above what came before.

Silent Hill 3 is pure autogynephilia fuel. It's even more troon coded than New Vegas.

>>12416852
Bait? The apartment is a scary enough concept, but the actual levels are full of no darkness and burping mutants.

Swap 2 and 1 and that would be a fine list. Didn't look at anything below A tier because I don't fucking care. Also Shattered memories is trash because no enemies.

Because seems like they ran out of time/budget and the second half of the game is just repeating the same levels again with minor differences all while you have to scort an NPC. A shame, since I liked the first part of the game a lot.

>the absolute peak of horror games in general
Absolute delulu cope. Silent Hill 1 was kind of a joke, Silent Hill 3 was laughably poorly written, and Silent Hill 2 was above average, but everyone overrates it because of the sappy letter at the end.

I own this game on PS2. I even bought a guide book. But I'm too scared to play it. Horror games scare me a lot and I don't know how to mentally prepare for playing this one. I never played a SH game.

The last horror game I played was Haunting Ground. It wasn't that scary, but I did find it a bit stressful to play. Really nice graphics though and I liked the fact that you play a pretty girl being chased by creepy guys.

I like SH4 because Henry is literally me.

>>12418224
>a literal who

>>12416589
>>12416852
Only the intro cinematic is scary

>>12417396
Because you play as a girl?

>>12418248
Heather is an average-cute tomboy with a plain figure (small boobs and butt, fairly narrow hips), meaning her appearance is attractive but still seems attainable enough to the average transwoman (or transcurious) mind as to trigger thoughts of "wow she looks just like me!"

>>12417019
This post seems to be implying that I should prefer seeing a German opera over playing Silent Hill 2. No thanks, not listening to that hideous barbaric language.

>>12418337
SH2 is based on Lost Highway not german schlock.

>>12418346
To be fair, I don’t think you can say it was 'based on' any singular source. Just like the Resident Evil series, Silent Hill in general borrows from a variety of cinematic influences.

>>12418316

>>12418392
>Where does f rank on the list?
probably under F

>>12418346
But there are a few elements which SH2 obviously took inspiration from, such as the main character being unable to accept his wife's death, while running into a doppelganger with a suspiciously similar name, and is torn between his loyalty to his wife and her doppelganger. As >>12418351 said Silent Hill in general took inspiration from a variety of sources, some more obvious than others.

Don't worry soon they will all be speaking Arabic.

You are correct, but I would imagine my assessment of why a tranny would say that SH3 is "autogynephilia fuel" is correct.

>>12417376

No retard. Notice how zero troons identify with Bloodrayne and Bayonetta. Heather looks very achievable to them.

>>12418316
This, EXACTLY this.

>>12416570
its my favorite silent hill aside from 2, what got me was the found footage type cutscenes for whenever a new enemy or ghost shows up

>>12416570
It's got some great ideas and moments, and some of Yamaoka's best OST work but
>characters nowhere near as good as Heather and the SH2 cast
>sound effects that were obviously stock even in 2004 -- game starts out with a ridiculous one off the rip
>pasta'd 2nd half
Unironically the perfect candidate for a remake.

>>12418549
Just throw a football at him. That'll make him leave for a while.

>>12416570
What made SH1-3 spooky for me was the sound design so hearing a bunch of stock placeholder sounds in 4 was really disappointing. I don't hate it but the game clearly needed more time in the oven.

>there is a freak that has been forcing Reddit Hill 2 for at least half a decade and will continue to until they die or 4chan does
Amazing.

>>12418770
I don't get how Yamaoka, as brilliant a musician as he is, sat in the sound direction chair and okay'd this shit.

>>12418764
What a story, Mark.

>>12418775
Yamaoka had no say on when the game gets pushed for release that's all Konami. Those sounds were likely there until he came up with something better later on in development.

Silent Hill 2's plot is almost beat for beat based on Die Tote Stadt, and it has little in common with the plot of Lost Highway.

>>12420102
>if she takes too much damage the last boss becomes impossible
It doesn't become impossible, you can beat it all the same. All that happens is that she dies and you might get the one cool ending (21 sacraments.)

>>12420105
Tbf the Eileen mechanics are kinda schizophrenic in how they work. Doesn't help that there's a lot of misinfo regarding sh4(been told by multiple people that healing Eileen with the candles is a thing). Here's a video that goes in depth on how she works if any of you guys are interested.

Based. I love all four games but SH4 felt specially brutal and dark, and kept me guessing about Walter's psyche. The scene prior to the appearance of >>12418812 probably disturbed the most out of all four games. It looked like something necrophilic was going on.
>b-but le burp!
It actually worked for me. I was already disturbed with the cutscene, the soundtrack was only an eerie heartbeat, and I went back into the room just to look for items, then the nurse appeared from a blindspot and I felt utterly disgusted by its design, and THEN that fucking burp out of nowhere was the cherry on top of a what in the blue fuck cake.

>>12420067

>>12416570
>what the fuck it's just about some fuckin room or somethin bro?

>>12420789
It's not just the burp, the game uses all sorts of ridiculously overused Halloween-ass samples.
In the first part of the game:
>male_scream.wav as soon as you get out of bed
>the splat when the ghost comes out of the wall
>the licker dog monsters and the big cat growls they make
You've probably heard these countless times in countless other places.

>>12417707
It's the only decent western-developed one because they dared to try something different instead of making Temu straight-to-video tier versions of the Team Silent efforts.

>>12421001
I will agree with this, and also add that the one specific sound that bothered me the most was the footsteps on wood. It was only one sample repeated for every step and it just sounded raw.

>>12418316

>>12417674
People thinking Homecoming and Shattered Memories are superior games to Origins is why this is a dead franchise. We could have continued getting slightly below average Silent Hill games like Origins, but no, some people liked the RE4 clone and Run Like Hell clone, so we got fucking Downpour.

>>12416570
It plays like shit
Buggy as hell
The Level design is bland and shit
The ghost mechanic is annoying more than anything else
All the issues of the older games seems to come out 5x worse in this one

I like it for the concept and atmosphere but its clearly the weakest of the series
I still would have liked to have seen a 5
maybe something that ended the Team Silent series in a more conclusive way and then Konami could rape the branding to death with shitty American sequels, then shitty Chinese sequels, and other assorted crap.
