Hello?

This, closely followed by Downpoor.
All the western games are more or less shit, witch the tiny exception of SH:SM.
Hunter Thomas
I don't understand why Yahtzee said Downpour was his favorite western Silent Hill game. It was the shittiest by far. It was the glitchiest, the least inspired in terms of monster design, and the combat sucked ass.
Shattered Memories was actually pretty good besides gameplay and I unironically kind of love it.
Mason Hernandez
Pretty much agreed, yeah.
Then again, he disliked SM only because it's "so Blue! And blue's calming color!"
All in all, I stopped watching Yahtzee already years ago. He still has a-OK attitude and fine taste in games for the most part, but he doesn't feel genuine any more.
Thomas Price
SM is a good example of "it's a good game, just not a good X game".
It's not scary at all. It's very clear when monster will appear and there's no tension since it's always a chase sequence. There are no real puzzles in the game.
But it's not a bad game. The story is good, the exploration is good, the atmosphere is good (even though it isn't scary).

Downcomming and Homepour

That game doesn't exist
Xavier Reed
This shit still baffles me
Why Silent Hill of all the franchises from Konami?

I have them tied; Downpour at least tried to be a Silent Hill game, Homecoming was a shitty hack and slash with the Silent Hill name.
On the other hand, Shattered Memories was a pleasant surprise.
Dominic Bailey
It does. What are you on about

My negros.
I loved SM so much I beat it twice in a row.
Connor Perez
probably downpour. wasted potential. also performance is terrible.
Daniel Sullivan
This. The performance is downright awful. I don't understand how it could have been so bad.
Adam Parker

-Unreal Engine 3
-7 years old console hardware (at that point)
-Next to no QA or even attempt to optimize jack shit.
It's not like the audio, graphics, gameplay or writing would've been any good either. It's just an all around clunky and fugly mess.

If you have any respect for your own mental health, you only play SH1-4, and then stop.
Here's the SH PC Guide + DL links :

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.

Homecoming was a pretty decent horror game on its own.
Andrew Cox
Why were western devs so obsessed with imitating SH2? Yes, it's easily the best SH, but replying on a twist so much turns anything into a M. Night Shyamalan movie.
Silent hill was always about both the physical manifestation of inner conflict, and the external one caused by the cult, and the cult itself raised the stackes from just being a mental breakdown into something Lovercraftian. Instead, western devs just treat them as an excuse for a gun section.
Shit, the cult was what made SH4 interesting, getting to know Sullivan and how he came to be thanks to the cult was one of the game's strong points.
Western SH are just: guy comes to SH, has mental issues, big revelation at the end.
Jeremiah Flores
What are you on about? Origins is a clear as fuck SH1 worship and omage in atmosphere and visual style. Homecoming reeks far more of SH3 than of SH2. And Downpour is like a bad version of already horrible Alan Wake.
Hudson Phillips
Origins is the only different one. Homecoming, SM, and Downpour all really on "character has mental issues, comes to silent hill because reasons, faces his subconscious, big reveal at the end".
It's not even much like SH2, you are right, but it's clearly an attenpt to imitate the strory arch without getting why was it good to beging with. HOMECOMING EVEN USES PYRAMIDHEAD FOR FUCKS SAKE
Luke Wilson
Currently playing through the silent hill games since I've never done it before.
1 was genuinly spooky, really liked it.
2 was boring as hell though, really don't see how it's that hyped. They set up all this cool shit about what went down in silent hill and don't expand on anything. Instead we get this sappy "failed caretaker" bullshit.
Starting 3 this evening.
Parker Miller
Homecoming is just Jacob's Ladder with a dead lil brother instead.
Silent Hill games are said to be inspired by Jacob's Ladder so that's that, coming full circle.
