>1 and 2, 3 was kinda edgy and not really spooky
Wait till you play homecoming and downpour. Especially downpour where someone thought it was a good idea to have korn do the main theme of the game.

If it isn’t made by team silent it doesn’t exist

>someone thought it was a good idea to have korn do the main theme of the game.
i was only gonna play 1-4 but holy shit, actually? wow.

It's not in the first 4 games. It's the the western games.

>3 was kinda edgy

What was edgy about it? It was dumb and silly, but never edgy.

>what am I in for?
Cult wankery, "Mom and child" bs, "faster, Eillen" and worst sound design for enemies.

i just felt the monster design was really on the nose and uninspired, lots of dumb jump scares and little things they had done right before but fucked up in three to try and build atmosphere, like having to go through the same stupid message every time you save.

oh and by edgy i was referring to the monster designs just covering shit in blood or w/e and the really melodramatic ending gave me a deviant art vibe, can't really put it into words

4 is okay but I remember that certain things about it detracted from the experience

the flow is broken up because you had to go back into the room to save and access inventory iirc, so there was no feeling of being relentlessly urged forward through a nightmare setting, because there was always an option to go back to the room

also the ghosts are really annoying

overall I like the approach and the creepiness of the room

>Some cool interactions with the apartment room
>Shit gameplay, puzzles, and level design
>Alright soundtrack
>Reusing the entire first half of the levels for the second half except your escorting a npc
>Kinda spooky moments and enemies

>Some cool interactions with the apartment room
name one

>spooky moments and enemies
Moment and Enemy

basically this

Hated the reused levels + escort.

Still liked the game anyway as a whole. The levels themselves were pretty cool

4 changes up some things, and I don't think most of them are all that great.
>most enemies have either been done before, but better, or are just silly and don't have good designs
>ghosts are more annoying than scary
>inventory management makes gameplay more tedious
>areas are pretty small and mostly linear, very few puzzles, doesn't help that you go through the game twice.
>No tank controls while still keeping fixed camera angles

>Some cool interactions with the apartment
Any of the haunts in the or just looking at shit and finding something new
>spooky moments and enemies
Like I said the haunts, seeing pic related for the first time,or the uber ghosts

RECIEVER

>Haunts
>interactions

Even if you ignore that most of them are stupid.

>3 was kinda edgy and not really spooky
Are you alright in the head, mate?

>what am I in for?
The most controversial one of the original team's games. I personally quite like it, it has some great ideas and scary stuff.

>lots of dumb jump scares
Besides the haunted mansion... wat?

>like having to go through the same stupid message every time you save.
It should LITERALLY only be said once in the entire game.

>i was only gonna play 1-4
Good, do just that. Forget the western trash, completely.

If you really must have more SH after re-playing 1-4 a few times, try Wii version of the SH:SM. It's the only decent one of the bunch, but not really "survival horror" any more.

>I literally lack the skill of immersion

I'M ALWAYS WATCHING YOU

Let's turn this into a REAL Silent Hill thread :

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.

iTS A GOOD GAME IT JUST IMPLEMENTED THINGS POORLY

>immersion
>skill

That's rich.

All right guys lets post those opinions.

>Story
2>1>3
>Atmosphere
3>2=1
>Spooks
3>2>1

Why do you fags like 3? 3 a fucking garbage, only good thing about 3 is Vincent but his total time on screen only about 20 minutes.

So why do SH4's cutscenes run at half framerate on PC?

Because it isn't fucking garbage unlike your opinions.

I don't quite understand why Vincent stands out for you.

Just one of its quirks. I hope you're using latest fan-patchse, because that shit was fixed years ago.

>great visuals & animation
>great audio
>best gameplay of OG trio
>actually scary
>Heather's a qtie
That being said, it's not my fav game, but it is still great.

>Heather's a qtie

There is nothing cute about her.

>best gameplay of OG trio

they didn't really change anything with gameplay since first game.

>There is nothing cute about her.
ill fite u m8

>There is nothing cute about her.
She's got nothing that would NOT be cute!

>they didn't really change anything with gameplay since first game.
Controls are way smoother and responsive.

Is Heather the best SH protagonist?

>controls are gameplay
oh, well.

>She's got nothing that would NOT be cute!
Except for saying something obnoxiously stupid in almost every cutscene. She's Chloe Price before LiS.

>There is nothing cute about her.

Get out of this thread and take your gay with you.

damn this guy is serious

>Except for saying something obnoxiously stupid in almost every cutscene.
What are you on? Crack?
She says the best AND cutest things! Easily the most likable, realistic and relateable MC of the series.

no she is definitely max and cute as fuck

>38/15
>muh heiser
Yeah, 3 is worst in series. Deal with it you fucking virgins.

Are you okay?

>releteable

When was the last time you was pregnant with the evil god and had an abortion to save the world?

Last tuesday

it's been a while, but I can tell you that it really hurts to get your hymen teared.

>that sense of humor

Ask dub questions, get dumb answers. I don't know what you were expecting

No spookiness whatsoever. Well, the room itself is spooky but nothing in the game is the same kind of horror as the first 3.

I think one of the room hauntings got me at least.

I didn't call Heather "releteable" character.

Okay. That had nothing to do with my post, so I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make, especially since you still understood what they meant despite the slight misspelling

So? Dumb questions still happened.

A mixed bag. 4 has a lot of really cool concepts and the potential to be one of the spookiest survival horror games ever made however it was clearly rushed. The sound in particular is one of the weaker points which is a shame because that's what made Silent Hill so intense for me, there's one enemy in particular that had me terrified until I hit them and then started laughing hard from the sound they made.

The hauntings creeped me out and made me not want to be in the room at all.

I don't remember too many of them being that bad or anything. The one that stuck in my mind the most was the thing falling outside of the window, which got me in the same way the mannequin room in SH3 did.

She isn't relatable character. Or likable. Or even realistic. And that's the point.

This "SH3 was bad" meme is really annoying.

Why? Because you've done a really bad job at making your point.

Where is her bra?

You're right.
She's ALL of them at once!
The PERFECT vidya female!

It's the weakest of the original 3 but that by no means makes it a bad game. It was a great game.

SH4 is the most patrician SH.

This is because even tho the gameplay isn't really all that great, it's the only SH that directly explores the fears and paranoia you develop by being a NEET.
Unless you've been stuck in your room for at least 5 years with minimal outside interaction, you won't understand most of this game.

Compared to 1, 2 and 3 it's audience is incredibly niche, especially at the time it was released.

Cause nobody can relate to hers problems? Cause game is about saving the world from evil god via abortion?

you seems like perfect match for that idiot.

Just because you personally dislike it doesn't mean that it's objectively weaker, the 3 main games are pretty much at the same level.

I guess I can never relate to Harrry because I've never lost my daughter in a nightmare town inhabited by crazy cultists and weird monsters, then
I guess I can never relate to James because I've never murdered my wife before and went on a quest through a nightmare town fighting nightmarish personifications of my feelings
I guess I can't relate to Henry because my apartment never opened up a portal to a nightmare dimension based on the mind of a serial killer. I mean I also can't relate to him because he's about as interesting as a blank piece of paper, but I assume you get my point

You're dumb

>being this obtuse
How can you relate to a father that lost his adoptive daughter if you are a dad? How can you relate to someone that killed his wife if you don't even have a gf?

Silent hill 4 struggles with many gameplay, lightning and level design issues but sometimes it nails athmosphere very well, propably thanks to its good soundtrack, many things got lost after sh3 but there is something left in sh4, but after that, that silet hill feel is compleatly gone.. youtube.com/watch?v=aeIIc9vsrmM

its just terrible how your comfy health regenerating room turns into fucking nightmare lifedraining hell.

>Cause game is about saving the world from evil god via abortion?
She goes to the city seeking revenge for the murder of her dad, can't you relate to that simple feeling?

>but after that, that silet hill feel is compleatly gone..
Kinda makes sense considering it originally wasn't going to be a Silent Hill game.

I just wish SH4 had better monster designs and the environments weren't almost as bland as Henry's personality, as I could at least forgive more of its shortcomings that way. It's two of the weakest aspects of the game that the other 3 SH games managed to nail incredibly well for the most part. I still think INSANE CANCER is a dumb design, along with the fliers from SH1

this, i thinks henry is really good protagonist and interesting guy, because he is not center of the story but have really interesting details that so many players miss.

3 is the worst of the original trilogy.

>There is nothing cute about her.

I will fucking have you, contrarian cunt.

Yes

You are fucking gay and underage mate

herys personality isint bland hes just very shy, autistic and probaly add. hes just guy who sits in corner and you cant really get to know him, but actually hes really good harted. James and heather are kinda psychos both. Harry is original good dad. i dont know why these new dad.

i dont know why these new dad.games are getting so popular now. evil within 2 did just horrible job with imitating SH1
