What the FUCK is wrong with this game? I thought I'd be okay playing on Hard because Normal was way too easy for SH1-2, but this game is the Dark Souls 2 of Silent Hill games in how many monsters it throws at you which wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't also like half as many supplies as in previous games.
>dogs in hallways
>rooms full of monsters with nothing inside at all, a first in the franchise
>that fucking hallway with 6 slurpers and the other one with 3 slurpers and nurses
Even on normal mode this would be fucking retarded, thank god it's almost over.

you're not meant to kill every single monster in survival horror games they don't follow you if you go to another room and are easy as shit to dodge

funny thing i played this on normal and ran out of ammo and health items (except ampoules) in the final boss

>lil kids complaining about SH games' difficulty now
come back when you finish Extreme X mode.

>alright pack it in at least you tried

I played SH2 for the first time, and I was surprised at how easy it was compared to SH1 (which wasn't exactly a hard game, though its hard mode has some really fucking annoying enemies). Like, nothing ever can touch you, and the steel pipe stunlocks every enemy in the game... yup, all 3 enemies.

exactly

I hope you know your Shakespeare.

In SH1 I ran from most things until I got the hammer, then I became the hunter and floor cleared. Then the rape monkeys came and I became the hunted again, but there was always more than enough ammo and heals.

In SH2 I killed fucking everything just about.

Now in SH3 it's back to the SH1 formula, which I like, but with many more monsters and much less ammo/heals. Maybe this makes sense thematically.

>until I got the hammer, then I became the hunter and floor cleared
a glorious feeling. Timing the swings at charging nurses is orgasmic. Too bad you can't do that with a steel pipe at the school because those little shits mob you from all directions.

SH1 is like the whole fucking zoo and circus animals are released to catch you and they're TRAINED TO FUCK YOUR ASS

pics pls

OP here

I am genuinely afraid of not having enough ammo to kill the final boss. I have like 100 shots with my handgun, 2 clips with the SMG and 3 shotgun shells. I haven't found shotgun shells since before the second boss.

I've also got only like 6 health drinks, 5 med packs and 3 ampoules and a bunch of useless jerky.

Scared.

MELEE EVERYTHING

IT'S THE ONLY WAY

why don't just use melee?
i had A LOT of ammo for the final boss
this please

I melee what I can, but when there are a bunch of slurpers and nurses in a narrow hall all I can do is try to juke and likely take a few hits which has been eating up my heals. Luckily I haven't had to backtrack a lot. I use guns as an absolute last resort and still I have so little in reserve and I cannot find any.

It must be extremely well hidden because I explore every inch of every room.

you can also try running away most of the time
just look on the map and run for the door
if you hit first there is a chance you'll kinda stun the enemy so you can kill and stomp it after few hits

Not possible when you need to explore a floor and don't know which doors work and have to stop at each one. I stopped playing yesterday because I got pissed off at all the slurpers in the hospital, I'm in the elevator and need to check out the third floor which has a bunch of nurses and slurpers I must juke.

slurpers are probably the worst enemies
i had to shoot them, because more than one are very hard to kill with melee weapons or run away

>rooms full of monsters with nothing inside at all, a first in the franchise

False. First Silent Hill has rooms like that as well. Classrooms in normal school and many rooms in the hospital.

At this point and with my lack of ammo I've just resorted to ignoring them and hoping I don't get knocked down which is impossible.

Perhaps but the rooms were larger and the enemies smaller so it wasn't memorable. SH3 sewer has that one room packed with like 7 giant enemies, there's another in the Hilltop Center which isn't as bad, and 2 in the hospital with 3 nurses each that instantly lunge at you. None of these rooms can be cleared without wasting all your supplies. In SH1 you can manage to clear the rooms without wasting too much.

There are 1 or 2 rooms in the hospital in SH2 like that.
