Don't feel to bad, I missed the rifle in the original game, which made the rest of the game pretty difficult...

Also, am I the only one that found SH2 not as good as 1 and 3? 2 wasn't scary to me, it seemed dull to me. and the story was 'meh' in my humble opinion.

and I played 4 for a half an hour and got sick of it.

Well, Silent Hill 2 wasn't as scary per se, but it has one of the best video game endings ever. It also depends if it's your first Silent Hill game. I played 2 first, and since my friend beat it I started a new game and was able to obtain the other endings, the one I got was in the water or something and I gotta say that letter made me cry. And yes there is a metal pipe in Silent Hill 2 you can skip it if you wish though.

I have yet to play homecoming but give us some details or confirm some of the stuff thats buggin' us DietCoke.

i went to check a video for this game on youtube. is the opening scene really just a straight lift out of jacob's ladder? cos i only saw a little bit but the camera angles and everything were the same. if it is, then that's just crappy.

Apparently this game takes a lot of shit from movies, like Jacobs Ladder, Hostel and the Silent Hill movie. I've only seen the SH movie and haven't played this game but a lot of people who have draw these same connections between the said movies and the game.

This looks really good actually, I've only ever played the Silent Hill on the PSP which I thought was pretty cool, I just didn't get to finish it though.

Looks good, but I don't think I'll be picking it up. Not my kind of game.

Well it might look good as in AWESUM GAME ME THINKS :)​))) but as far as real looks go all the characters besides the protagonist look really bad for a nextgen game, like something you'd expect from a PS2 game.

the more i hear about this game the more it looks like it sucks. does it suck? i don't want to buy it if it sucks.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

and the Silent Hill movie

Unless you mean the game looks exactly like the movie's special effects or what

and weren't they all based on Jacob's Ladder

Edit: Also this is the least informative topic ever where the hell are the screens

Well yeah, the special effects/the transformation but also there are those cultists in mining suits and gas masks and a few other things that are straight from the movie.

eh silent hill has always drawn from horror stories like ringu and uzumaki (the blaring air raid alarms anyone??)

Well, Silent Hill 2 wasn't as scary per se,

I never understood when people said this. What the fuck games have you been playing, man. I don't really get scared, and I blame being exposed to slasher movies at a young age, but Silent Hill 1 and 2 were the things that made me the closest to being scared by a medium in a while.

the Silent Hill on the PSP

Wasn't that by another company still?
My fear is that they'll take the wrong story out of the whole series and try and make some kind of linking saga that binds this shit together. The movie alone ruined a ton, while not canon I suppose. The less we know about this town and how it's all linked, the better. I really don't want cultists to be explained expansively, or Pyramid turning out to be some spiritual leader from years ago.

Also, if you're not scared by the Silent Hill games; it would have been best to play at midnight with all lights turned out. Especially worth it if the room is wide enough to put a chair before the tv, and have nothing around you. I did that, and found myself quickly folding my legs to avoid sack monsters yanking me under the chair.
Playing with other people nearby makes it a laughable experience, unfortunately. :( Ruins the mood when you can laugh at the ridiculous sack creature design, or make up funny tales about where the odd sounds are coming from -- or why some guy has his front ripped off and sitting infront of a snow channel tv.

Reason why I wasn't as scared (except for Silent Hill 1, cause of it's graphics wasn't all that scary for me after I played 2 first) was because of this strange death scene with those four box things (forgot what they were called). Because of that it kinda killed it for me, which is why I say it's not as scary.

Anyways, yeah if you make the same mistake I did with a horror game by watching youtube playthroughs you pretty much ruined the experience. Specifically I watched the first Siren as a play through... yeah wasn't as good as it could've been if I just sat down and played the damn thing after I rented it instead of watching it being played by someone else.

P.S. I've played some pretty disturbing horror games mate, i'm a big horror games kinda guy and let me tell ya it erodes the effectiveness of future horror games. Then theres this one game with a title related to being unable to scream and theres this weird slug guy without a mouth on the cover.

There's no "scarier" game than Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth.  You don't even pick up guns in the game until much later and most of the enemies are either hallucinations or pop out the corner of the screen and then dart away in the darkness.  Things that confront you up close aren't terrifying.  Fear lies in the unknown.

And what you're talking about is I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream; a video game based on Ellison's short story that he literally wrote in a night with no changes.  Ellison's story is pretty plain but the game is one of those rare occasions where an adaption is actually better than its source material.

hahahahahaha you asshole the story is so much better.

and I hate Ellison as a person and I think he's a limited writer so that's something from me.

GO BACK TO 4CHAN AND SPREAD YOUR LULZ THERE.
