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.

you only speak lies

I want :<
And curse you Australia!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Ouch dude, that would kill it.
I couldn't play Silent Hill 1. Freaked me out just with the demo. Had to rely on my buddy to play it, and even then I refused to watch at times, pretending to be busy with some art. Then 2 came along, and it was My Turn. :S That is such a mindfuck game... There's something about being scared that both thrills and disgusts me. I love it afterward, but hate myself and the game makers while playing it, lol.
Silent Hill 3 was kind of like... Old Hat. Once you've sat through 1 and 2, 3 was just like same ol' same ol'. Finally 4 came. My friend said it sucked, but perhaps that was just him. I watched him play a lot of it, and enjoyed the story. So muchso that I even went on to play it by myself, despite hating being spooked.
I really don't know what to think of this. 5 seems like such a misconseption on the Silent Hill series. I just watched a tv commercial (came on a few minutes ago) and it stinks of "hmm people liked this and this, so we'll do it again. Go find some kid in Silent Hill and get chased by Pyramid Head". Now I've almost -got- to play it, just to know that I dislike it for a reason... or be proven wrong.

Apparently that isn't pyramid head, it's some other wierd monster called the Boogeyman or Red Pyramid.

It's amazing what you pick up while on the 4PP Live Broadcast site. Good old 4PP.

Maybe it's different in the context of this game, but "Red Pyramid" is just another name for Pyramid Head.  If it's not the same Pyramid Head and is in fact a monster called BOOGEYMAN then that's bullshit, what a boring and obvious name.

I am not sure if I really want to play this because it is Silent Hill with better controls or if that the reason I do not want to play it.

I played this game twice already, being a huge Silent Hill fan, I went and got it the day it came out. And honestly, I thought it was amazing. The monsters were all new except for the Zombie nurses, but obviously they are a staple in any Silent Hill game. Some of the monsters were extremely hard to beat, but once you figure out thier behaviors, it makes it a whole lot easier to dodge attacks and counter attack. And for whoever said there was only 1 monster per hour or whatever, you were very misinformed, on normal difficulty level, there were monsters all over the damn place, sometimes you would be surrounded by 3 or 4 at a time, and that creates a serious anxiety attack, haha. Some of the bosses were really hard too, some not so much, but I found saving all my ammunation for the bosses was the best strategy, because you avoid alot more hits and save more health drinks, serums, etc. I personally thought the puzzles could have been a bit more difficult, I didnt feel all that challenged, but maybe im just smarter than most ;-) As for the environment, one word, amazing. I thought the environment in this game was spectacular, you can actually move pieces of furniture around, interact with the environment, which was never possible in all other installments of Silent Hill. Another new feature was the lack of a fixed camera angle, which was sooooooooooooooooo nice. You can actually look around at the environment and the bodies of monsters (I think some were actually anatomically correct too, haha). Ax, my old friend, you will so not be dissapointed!!!!!!!!!!

it looked like the exact same pyramid head to me...you only really see him in one scene in the entire game, but he looked the same to me...

Cheri my dear its a pleasure as always.

I forgot i posted about it here.

Pyramid head/boogyman was the same design as the one from the movie, He was different to the one from Silent hill 2 though. His knife also looked like a massive combat knife, But im still not sure he fits into the game.

Ok thoughts on the game, Now that i've had some time to let it soak in and such im kinda mixed on this game, They new combat style with dodging and over the shoulder camera for aiming. What i didn't like is that the Knife, Was the most powerful weapon you had, for its speed alone, The game looked nice, The mood was there but the story was a tad lacking i felt. I believe they borrowed too much from the movie. I would still rank it above some of the other games but I was still dissapointed, The game just seemed to lack that Melancholy flavor the others had,

Also Australia WHAT THE FUCK? You bitch and moan about a person getting drilled or cut in half, Then let deadspace in where the KEY gamefeature is Dissmemberment. Im not complaining deadspace was awesome, but it irks me.

I was thinking, why the hell is Pyramid Head even in this...

At least his appearance in #2 made sense.

Shock value, mister, shock value.




Also it is astonishing how you managed to suddenly post for the first time in god knows how many centuries


infact I didn't even know you had an account here, what a travesty

I know, it confused me when I finished the game, cause you only see him once...but then again, after the scene with Pyramid Head in the hotel, I was scared of moving around the halls and rooms too quickly, certain that he would be around the corner....so it did build up suspense. I was always wondering, where will he turn up next? But then for him not to show up again at all? What was the point? But I guess the Silent Hill series isn't Silent Hill without him.

By the way, did anyone else find the zombie nurses extremely hot in this game? Im a girl, and im not into pussy....but still. Hot damn girls! I wish I had that kind of cleavage, haha

He showed up twice for me,
Once
in the hotel
twice
when he killed your father who was tied up

And the silent hill series is COMPLETELY the silent hill series without him. He wasn't in 1 or 3 or 4, His bastard younger step-brother was in Zero, And i only think he was thrown in there because the game borrowed heavly from the film, And he was only in the film for fan service. I mean i like the dude and all, But really he doesn't need to keep popping up in everything.

As for the nurses. I went to a party with people dressed as zombie nurses.
They had cleavage of that calibre.......
yep
