Thoughts on silent hill 4?

the only SH I never played, from some research and opinions the story seems to be pretty good but the gamplay is bad, is that right?

It's equally brilliant and retarded. The onset of the second half combines one of the best twists in a horror game with some of the most easily avoided, unforgivable amalgamation of bad game design choices in a high profile game. I'd say 4 is just solid enough to warrant trying and forming your own opinion on (I, for one, think it's about as good as Origins) but mileage will vary. It's like playing Skyward Sword, sometimes it's great and other times it's a pain in the ass.

pure ludo

but what if you became trapped in your basement?

I really wanna play it but for some reason it didnt work even though I followed the pc guide.
I could get 2 and 3 running easily but not 4

my least favourite, but it's not a bad game actually, it just has some REALLY dumb shit in it desu
I posted about it before in other SH threads and some SH4 fans told me to fuck off, but it's legit stupid whatever you say, the sounds of the monsters are fucking horrible, like there's one or two enemies with decent sound effects, but most of them are either stock sound samples or just straight up retarded, like the burping nurse things, they even added that stupid stairway section so you can hear them burp 50 times in 10 seconds, how is it isn't immersion breaking for some people I have no idea
it also lacks some essencial SH things like the flashlight and radio, but as I said, it's an otherwise good game, still miles better than anything that came after it, so I'd give it a shot if I were you

nigga just emulate it

it peaks during cynthia death

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes

Better than the american SHs but not worthy of being with the big 3.

So if Walter jerks off in the room does that count as incest?

It’s a great B tier game. The kind of game we don’t get anymore.

what's the issue, bro?
it might be your antivirus get the fixes from pcgamingwki they're modified so that your antivirus won't spazzout

Went from being underrated to overrated as time went on.
All in all in it's a decent game filled with questionable design choices that bog down the experience. Easily the worst of the original four titles.

Yea Forums defends it because they think it was made by Team Silent, when it was just made a by random leftover members from SH1-3 and not by the important guys such a Masahiro Ito and Owaku.

It's a pretty mediocre game, the environments are mediocre (specially when compared to SH1-3), the lore is just bad, the story is simply stupid. I would barely classify it as a Silent Hill game despite the fact Walter Sullivan was basically raised by the cult.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't SH4 mostly made by people who worked on Pro Evolution Soccer?

The gameplay is fine. The melee combat is actually better than previous games but still nothing like you'd see in a great action game of course. This game had a lot of interesting new ideas for the series at this point which was pretty routine after the third game.

there probably were no actual teams at KCET and they were jumping through projects left and right
anyway a lot of people that worked for past SHs worked on 4

tho a lot of key members left liko Ito and it shows with absolutely awful monster designs

Somehow the controls felt fucking atrocious. I was convinced that something was wrong with my pirated PC version so I just uninstalled it. I should probably give it another try, the premise is fantastic.

To me what matters most is it was still developed by Japanese unlike the western games. You can clearly tell the massive difference in quality from 1-3, 4, and then the rest of the games. So yeah sure its not as good as 1-3 but its still certainly better than the garbage western games.

>with absolutely awful monster designs

Take that back you shit. The twin victims is one of the best monster designs in the franchise.

I like the wheel chairs

It's highs are definitely high, but lows are so fucking low, it's ridiculous

>that hallway full of wheelchairs
>burping aborted ladies.

>>that hallway full of wheelchairs
That's one of the best sections of the game

4 is the one that brought me into the series. After playing the others, 1 and 2 are fucking absolutely godlike, but 4 and Origins (or whatever the PSP game is) is fucking worth the playthrough. But Downpour and past look like utter garbage. I feel like 4 should be played first, as a standalone, because the others just shit all over it for theme'ing and story, but it's still crazy. The water prison had me wondering why I even bother to even move out of the cell

Origins is underrated and Downpour was awful but had something going for it with the horror sandbox concept which I've never seen done in a game.

never finished it
was too scared to do it when I was a kid
the same happened with Resident Evil 4

but RE4 gets less scary as it progresses

Twin victims belong in J-horror. The ghosts are also very J-horror stuff.

Silent Hill creature design has always been fleshy rotten body horror with scars and stitches and an industrial touch in the case of SH3 where many creatures have some form of metal implanted on them such as noisy flying creatures.
Masahiro Ito has always been about this, SH4 has a different art director so things went full J-horror.

At least those things are funny though tbqh.

Ghosts were in SH1.

Mom?

This game feels like they used it to train new blood. Some stuff is genuinley good but then you have the drunken wheelchairs.
