Dude everyone knows shakespeare

King Lear > Hamlet > A Midsummer's

who cares about the rest

Arranging the books was easy enough. The part that's crap is the cryptic mathematical manipulation.

Why did the puzzles in 3 suck so much?

The Shakespeare aspect wasn't hard for me, it was the god damn math analogy that forced me to look up a guide because jesus christ.

Kys. You only think Kekspeare is good because it's old and your school forced it down your throat. He's a hack just like I'm about to do to your dick with my meat cleaver.

Imagine being so much of a brainlet you try to act above liking Shakespeare that you still get it's modern-day equivalent wrong.
Shakespeare is the equivalent to Days of Our Lives and the Bold and the Beautiful you tit. He was a soap opera writer.

What are you, a fucking pleb?

Trying to think, is the Silent Hill series the only one that has separate difficulty sliders for combat and puzzles?
I can't think of anything else, which is a shame cause I feel like in games that have them, puzzle difficulty never really changes with hard difficulty settings.
It's not like the Hard SH puzzles are even the best, it's the thought that counts and its a shame that devs don't put as much thought into them as the rest of the game

You can stop now. Girls never found you hot and boys never thought you were intelligent for pretending to like Crapspeare.

On normal mode you have to arrange the books properly based on the books' descriptions to get the code. In hard mode you have to arrange the books, and then have to solve a cryptic algebra problem.

You're missing the point retard.

The puzzle is unsolvable save for brute force for people who aren't versed in shakespeare.
Would you say the same thing if a game did a puzzle about pewdiepie general knowledge?

Hard version is the only one that gives people trouble. Basically, you have five books, each is a work of Shakespeare. You're given a lengthy poem that describes the works in a specific order. That's the order you put them on the shelf. Each book has a number, so now you have a five digit number that you can take to a number pad in the back of the bookstore.
It needs a four digit password. The poem has an extra verse that gives you directions on how to change the number you have into the number you need. I don't have the exact text, but it's very poorly written.

Is this the puzzle where you have to inspect the spine of the books to access the back store? Game bore me to death after that.

>The puzzle is unsolvable save for brute force for people who aren't versed in shakespeare.
You don't need any major knowledge outside of what the basic stories are. Ones that are in the common knowledge for most people who aren't retarded.

Yes, everyone knows that you dumb ass.
Not the devs fault that you don't know even the basics of THE classic literature of the whole world.

1:It's not an ad hominem
2:The only thing you punched is your anus while you fist yourself every night.
3:You're not fooling anyone. You fell for the Niggerspeare is good meme and now feel like a fool when called out on it.

But the thing is that Shakespeare is ridiculously ingrained in pop culture that how does someone NOT have some tertiary knowledge of Shakespeare?

Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, in America.

Is the puzzle based on Shakespeare works in Japanese too ? How were they expected to solve it when they barely have in exposure to it ?

DON'T YOU

You're right that the puzzle sucks. I think 3 in general just wasn't as good as 1 and 2, it had a lot of odd design decisions. Not that it was entirely bad though, just not as good.

You're acting like a bit of a fag though, calm down a bit and don't take the shitposting so seriously. It's probably mostly people who want to feel smarter because they could solve it or people who really like 3 and won't hear any criticism.

Oh ok. Yeah I touched maybe 15% of those

You literally need to know romeo and juliet, hamlet and optionally mcbeth, you know, the lovers couple, the king that gets poisoned, and the deceitful fuck, the other two shits that nobody knows can be bruteforced, which turns into 3 if you don't know mcbeth, leaving a whooping 6 combinations, like holy fuck nigger, i know about hamlet thanks to the fucking simpsons

A lot of puzzles are like that.
If a game gave you the letters "cta" and told you to make a word out of them to solve the puzzle you're going to get the word "cat" this is and example of a puzzle relying on outside information (the english language) to be solved.
To us this puzzle is simple, to someone who isn't familiar, like a japanese person it's hard.
Same applies to the shakespear puzzle, it's solution relies on understanding outside information.
It's kinda unfair, but if you're playing on hard mode that's the fucking point.
If you exposed yourself to more than just games maybe you wouldn't be complaining.

Even outside of this game context there are tons of examples of old fables and myths about tricksters giving tough puzzles and riddles that require out of the box solutions.

Or the Lion King for Hamlet, or motherfucking Jimmy Neutron for Macbeth

>It's kinda unfair, but if you're playing on hard mode that's the fucking point.
Not really. It's possible to increase difficulty without just making it more unfair. The piano and colored plate puzzle in 1 was decent without being unfair because everything you needed to solve the puzzle was in the game.

Don't most people know about Fibonacci numbers, though? It's not exactly a complicated concept.

>the hard puzzle doesn't require you to put the books on the shelf

How can someone graduate from university without hearing about romeo and juliet or hamlet once?, don't get me wrong, i wouldn't have figured the puzzle alone in a million years despite knowing about both of them, and it took my dad a few hours to link the texts with the books, but its general culture dude, you'd have to be a literal autist to miss something like that, specially if you went to the goddamn university and are studying STEMs

I'm not about to defend OP but that's just wrong. My high school only made us read Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth.

I'm northern european and at least in my school we read shakespeare in art/culture classes.

It's mandatory in the UK, too. I have no clue why, though, I think it's just because they are revered classics that also have somewhat fantastical stories so young 'uns can actually get into it, while being grounded in reality and human drama enough so they aren't stuck reading fairy tales.
It usually is only the case in middle school anyway.

Exposure to literature predating the founding of the country, probably - historically speaking, we're still pretty young. That said, I moved around in middle school a lot, and I got pretty sick of having to read Romeo and fucking Juliet over and over again. Still, we read some of his other works in high school that I enjoyed a lot more (Henry V, Hamlet, Othello, Julius Caesar, and one project I ended up doing on the Tempest), so it wasn't all bad.

Please read my post user.

If you learn how to properly read and understand Shakespeare you'll have no problem reading anything in the english language.

Shakespeare is required reading in pretty much every anglo country. We started reading it in elementary school. I could understand if you're not from an anglo country, but in that case you shouldn't really feel bad about just looking up a solution online.

I don't want to harp on this, but this thread has triggered the fuck out of me. If you don't know Shakespeare's tragedies, you are not a literate anglo. At best, you have only the appearance of being literate but not the substance. You need to put down the videogames and read some books.

When something like that happens it's bad direction.
How are you supposed to know to interoperate it in that way?

The problem with most devs is that they don't know how to convey intentions, direct the player to do what they want them to do.
You don't have to have a WAIT A MINUTE THAT CARD tier assistance or text on the screen that say "counts the legs dumbass".

It's a horror game, so make enemies that are built out of mannequin legs, have boots and severed legs littered about the place, surgical abominations that have like a fucking snake with sewn on rat legs like a centipede or something.
Build the scene that legs are fucking important and then when that puzzle shows up it's like

Doesn't matter for this thread, man. It's not about knowledge, it's about having the wit to connect the dots and the will to get the information. There is no gatekeeping because the key (knowing it's about Shakespeare stories) is very widespread, to the point that if you show the riddle to any high schooler, he'll get it. And then it's on you to go look up the other books or at least a synopsis. It's not unsolvable if you don't get the reference, not at all.
What the hell is so wrong with wanting to make the player do something out of the game?

Shakespeare's plays were the pro wrestling of his time. You can't prove me wrong.

RE1 puzzles are better imo, because they mesh better with the inventory management and exploration. Silent Hill gives you infinite inventory and though you use your brain a bit more afterwards it’s back to beating nurses with the hammer. You’ve gotta work in RE.

It's part of a "well rounded education" user, with the goal of giving the individual a grounding in art and culture so that they are more than a producing-consuming societal unit. Well that's what it used to be, probably deemed racist these days.

What the fuck kind of dumbass analogy is that?

By your logic I should also know every single roman and celtic literature piece out there because those also influenced the english language

Because Shakespeare is unironically good. Read or watch an adaptation of Othello. Understanding one of our culture’s defining roots helps us appreciate what comes next.

I like Shakespeare but he’s kinda right lmao, those plays were like daytime television nowadays.

RE’s puzzles are pretty basic compared to SH but overall the game is better designed IMO.

Inventory management forces you to decide what kind of weapon, ammo, healing, key, and key item you want to take, along with leaving space. It’s pretty engaging.

Its a piece of shit, every spanish book makes Shaky shake his gay ass

Oscar Wilde is the only English author that worth a read.
Why is your language so retarded when it comes to writting?

Most of his romance stuff is pretty meh. I like Hamlet and Othello myself

You forgot Orwell, Huxley, and Ellison, but ok

Shakespeare only ever wrong romance to get laid

Its like that fatass guy who does kids Nickelodeon shows

Why is it that everyone likes to kill themselves at the end in these stories? Did they think it was "deep" or something?

No, you did not. Shut the fuck up, retard.

I would say it's more annoying when you also need to use that space for random quest item or key.

>RE is figuring out where this piece goes in the puzzle which is the mansion

Isn't that trigger hunting?

Anyway SH games have stuff like this as well, where you find random juice box or rubber ball or bleach in one corner of the dungeon and you need to bring it to the other.

It's a Japanese game dipshit

Russian literature > English scribbles

is this loss?

Nabokov has some excellent prose.

Russian lit is mostly a meme. I bet you think Dostoevsky is good.

In resi if you find the wooden shield for example, you can put it away next time you’re at the item box. Later when you come across the gold shield and you need to switch it with the wooden one, you know what to do. It’s less trigger hunting and more natural exploration, since you’ll come across that puzzle only after two other puzzles. It’s like one of those puzzle boxes.

The rubber ball in SH was annoying. Find this particular spot in the drain with a hole and use the rubber ball. It doesn’t feel natural, and a lot of the puzzles are like that. Though, it has its own charm in the psychological horror theming.

Oscar Wilde is pleb tier matey
Joyce and Melville had more talent in a single atom than he had in his entire body

I bet you had to google that, you inbred cunt.

I bet you think Shakespeare is good

I say the solution was pretty obvious, and i'm not that good at observation.

You might hate it but I love that cat

The only Russian media I’ve consumed is Yuri on Ice

Joyce is really fucking underrated senpai

That's a neat idea, mixing the puzzles with the combat. I feel like there's certain disconnection between them in Silent Hill.

Google what?

I don't see how is it puzzle, sorry.

But game shows you the spot in cutscene.

t. the virgin queen

You just don't GET it.

System Shock has difficulty sliders for everything, combat and puzzles included. At the lowest setting puzzles solve themselves.

Yeah but System Shock aged like milk

The rubber ball drain is even less of a puzzle, just put the thing in the spot. I’m drawing comparisons between similar puzzles. Resi’s headscratchers are only the painting room, and the stuff in the lab.

i know, i didn't call rubber ball thing a puzzle either.

>but can you tell me why he's dicking around in hell and afterlife?
He was in the woods being threatened by beasts and virgil offers him hell as a way to escape. His ultimate goal is just to get to heaven, and in there encounter God, which he does at the very end, but I don't recall if he ever actually stated why he was in the forest in the first place, other than becoming lost and trying to find again the "right" or "true path" which he loses at the start

Romeo and Juliet is kino

>Yea Forums tries being contrarian when it comes to classic literature like Shakespeare
I'll admit that I don't like a puzzle that's impossible to solve without outside knowledge, but holy fuck relax man nobody will respect you for hating Shakespeare.

No I didn't, I'm a retard

Here's your award winning novel, comrade.

Shakespeare, William. Read complete works between 14 and 15. One would like to have filmed him in the role of the King's Ghost. His verbal poetic texture is the greatest the world has ever known, and immensely superior to the structure of his plays as plays. It is the metaphor that is the thing, not the play. A genius.

France can.

>but holy fuck relax man nobody will respect you for hating Shakespeare.
>instead of actually recognizing his works as great and enjoying them i just say i enjoy them to look good to my peers

Worse than blind contrarianism

Well, that decreases my interest in the game. The thing I hate about really hard puzzles is never knowing if I have a realistic chance of figuring it out solely through the game world itself. That should be a no-no.

>that Bollywood esque editing, tone, and action
10/10

>respecting a scholar's opinion is somehow worse than just saying "it sucks"
Also telling people they're retarded for blindly hating things that have earned acclaim and recognition doesn't mean I'm some poser that acts like I'm some British Literature major because I was forced to read some Shakespeare shit in highschool. Because I'm not interested in something doesn't mean I can't respect it as great and influential.

>He's a hack just like I'm about to do to your dick with my meat cleaver
Sounds like you just hacked yours with that edge you have over there.

Yeah, everyone's heard of one or two of his works
But this fucking puzzle requires you to have read through 5 of his boring ass books

You don't even need to know the actual story, just a couple things that you'd likely pick up from media naturally without ever seeing the plays in any form. Source: I never saw the plays and I beat that puzzle.

This of course assumes that you consume media that isn't just vines and rap music.

Can someone please explain to me why the lesser of mind take pride in their ignorance? When I don't know something, I don't feel happy about that, I seek out the knowledge and attempt to learn it. Why do people think it's something to be proud of that they don't know something?

It's less work compared to putting in the effort to learn something.

This puzzle was still shitty though.

In 2003 everyone had access to the internet. I had shitty dial-up at the time, and I was one of the only people in my group of friends to not have broadband.
