U wot m8? The HC's combat was OP 2easy! You can LITERALLY stun-lock huge majority of all enemies with just your knife and the basic slash-slash-slash-KA-SLASH-dodge-(repeat) -combo. This also leaves you with tons of ammo to spam on other enemies.
Doesn't make the game any "good" still, even if it's a step above trash like Downpoor, 0rigins, nor pure shit like BoM.
you just like hairy truckers, don't you?

James wasn't a soldier, Murphy wasn't a soldier, Heather wasn't a soldier, Harry wasn't a soldier. All those games had better combat than Homecoming.
Homecoming has the best boss fights in the series though

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" is a all-in-one fix, that works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!
If you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.
If SH3 runs like shit even on a strong PC, check and lower the Rendering Resolution setting.
SH2-4 do not support Xinput & PS4 gamepads natively. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M.
There's OK emu-settings for SH1 in the guide. If the image of the game does NOT fill your entire screen in fullscreen mode, check your plugin AND GPU control panel's image scaling settings!
Try the PGXP emulator for a lot less wobbly PS1 graphics.
>Protips
-Play in the release order.
-Never play below Normal difficulty.
-Replaying them all is recommended.
-Turn down the ingame Brightness setting,
-Don't try to kill everything that moves, especially outdoors.
-Turning OFF the flashlight can really help.

Let's get this out of the way:
>PCSX2 sucks. PC ports are way superior, and their system requirements are laughably low.
>Modern widescreen fixes do NOT have missing geometry.
>Latest widescreen fix also cures the "white tunnels", and restores the missing layer of fog.
>Fog Fix makes the fog as THICC as you want, even to point of totally BTFO of PS2 version.
>PC port has smoother, superior Per-Pixel lighting. "Hard" shadows don't matter.
>you can force rock-solid 60fps, while PS2 version runs at locked 30. Even SH3 on PS2 ran at 60!
>FMVs can be made superior to those in PS2 version. The audio difference is negligible in practice.
>No, you DON'T have to play PC version at HD nor widescreen resolutions, if you consider 480p "authentic experience".
Ryder Bell
The difference is that all of them were regular people who were playing it safe while Alex genuinely believed himself to be a military badass.
It's like dropping a teen who played nothing but Counter-Strike into airsoft match.
Camden Lopez
The character is not the reason that the games combat system is dumb. Alex fucks monsters up with the knife.
Evan Allen
It's October, why aren't you replaying a Silent Hill game?
Ian Foster
It's an lore explanation, man, shit's deep. Accidental genius and all that.
Michael Taylor
Because 40+ playthroughs per game at this point.
I did, however, start another playthru' of 2 just a while ago.
Levi White
In the middle of playing Silent Hill 1 for the first time. Followed the guide and running it on PCSX-R. FPS drops to the 20's sometimes, dunno if thats normal. Does the 60fps code break anything?
Easton Gomez
Did that one SH1 rookie ever report back? I think he got to the sewers the last time I saw his posts.
huh, dunno if that's him.
>FPS drops to the 20's sometimes, dunno if thats normal
even in the original game, yes. That's just how 5th gen games were.
The PCSX-R, or rather, the OGL2 plugin, CAN however tank the framerate a bit more, especially if you use way too high internal X & Y resolutions.
>Does the 60fps code break anything?
didn't even know such thing exists, but I would think it would break something.
Luis Williams
No I'm a different user but I did however just get out of the sewers to the resort. Thanks for the answers tho, exactly what I was looking for
Eli Parker
NP mate.
If you want, you can try the older Pete's OGL 1.78 plugin + these ancient settings for a comparison. From my experience, even craptops have no problems running the game at full speed with these settings. You will obviously lose perspective-correction and GTE Accuracy hack, if you even use them.
Lucas Cook
I have a pretty beefy rig so should I even bother with these settings? I have the audio part the same. The game looks and runs great at 30fps 90% of the time just recently outside at night in the rain it was dropping to 18-25 fps. I'll fidget with the internal X and Y.tho
Dylan Perry
oh also I like the look of scanlines but I've been streaming my playthrough on twitch mostly for my friend to watch but when I enable scanlines in the emulator they look like huge bars across the screen in OBS. Great game so far, itching to get back to it. Playing 2 and 3 afterwards
Wyatt Gonzalez
Brutal. Is it the best combat in the series? I know for sure that thanks to the dodge mechanic one can melee pretty much anythinf while in origins for example, you get utterly devastated by anything with range( which is pretty much anything besides ghosts/nurse)
Zachary Gomez
>I have a pretty beefy rig so should I even bother with these settings?
Depends what counts as "beefy" in your books. Emulation always stresses PCs more than you'd expect.
>oh also I like the look of scanlines but I've been streaming my playthrough on twitch mostly for my friend to watch but when I enable scanlines in the emulator they look like huge bars across the screen in OBS.
yeah, that tends to happen with OGL2.
The "scanline" effect with -1 isn't exactly LINES, but dot-matrix effect, like in pic related. The emulators tend to totally remove the dithering effect of these games, so this is the next best thing without succumbing to Software plugins.
>Great game so far, itching to get back to it. Playing 2 and 3 afterwards
Great, but don't rush things though! There's a TON of replay value in all 3 games.
Isaac Clark
I really like how that looks. Gunna give it a go.
I'm sure I'll get back to all the games, I heard there are multiple endings. I'm just trying get through a list of horror/halloween games for a personal marathon in October. Not rushing but would like to complete SH 1-3 and then move on to REmake and RE Zero before the end of the month.
Eli James
>Can lug 50 tvs, a whole set of pool cues, 30 metal pipes and about 50 planks
Is there anything that could stop him?

Jose Martin
shit that instagibs him as soon as he is in range, melee is literally unplayable in this game thats why you get 5 guns and plently of ammo BECAUSE he is a shitter despite howling all that stuff around like a mule
Lincoln Mitchell
Midwich Elementary School is the scariest place in all of Silent Hill. Nothing even comes close.
Ian Murphy
The comfyness after the siren kicks in and you are leaving it in the dawn is just too much for me to handle
Julian Torres
>SH PC GUIDE TIME :
I would advise: play games on a real PS2> emulate the ISOs > PC ports >>> SH HD remaster.
Mason Williams
why'd you want to play an inferior version
play on shitty ps2 with 3h load times and 720p res
or
pc with ssd 0s load times and 4k or 8k internal res
Brayden Price
Inferior PS2 version looks worse when emulated over superior PC version
Inferior PS2 versionn looks better when played on a real PS2 and a CRT TV over superior PC version
easy.
Liam Morris
To spite faggots like you.
Xavier Young
Good job, now you made a 16 year old game look like its only 14 years old.
Hudson Martinez
>Shepard's Glen has a curse on it from the founding families leaving Silent Hill
>The first born of each family must be sacrificed in a specific manner (buried alive, drowned, chopped into bits etc)
>Current Shepard's Glen is fucked and getting pulled into Silent Hill because the second born of the Shepard family ended up dying in the specific manner over the first born.
Sounds fine until you realise that 2 of the four families only have a single child and that them being killed has fucked the town in the next generation anyway so anything you do within the game is a complete waste of time.
Then it does things like showing children being killed in those specific fashions in the very first gurney ride you take in the game. They knew what they were doing to a degree but everything is so hamfisted, its so fucking stupid.
David Reyes
Oh and I forgot
>Pick up a knife in the intro nightmare sequence.
>Wake up and get out of the truck you were in with the same knife in your hand.
Chase Cruz
It's still an above average horror game. Worth replaying now and then.
Its obvious he had the damn knife from before he even fell asleep. You are reaching.
Noah Lee
Besides playing on real PS2 + CRT, the other choices are way wrong.
