hey, i love silent hill. anyone else love it? ive got silent hill 1,2,3 and 4 but have only completed the first 3, the fourth one isnt as good. in my oppinion the first one is the scariest, although it doesnt scare me now but it did when it first came out :) for some reason the better the graphics get the less scary it is, dunno why that is.

In what order did you play them? Maybe it has to do with you getting used to the atmosphere of the games.

There is also another Silent Hill out, Silent Hill 0, which is currently available for PSP and PS2.

yea silent hill 1 was my first which i played when i was very young. then 2 then 3. i still think the beginning of silent hill 1 is the best of any game. walking down a dark alleyway armed only with a cigarette lighter.........Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I've played 1, 2 and 3... haven't gotten around to 4 yet. But I'd have to say that overall, 2 was my favorite. I've heard that 4 is mediocre at best... I'm still gonna give it a try eventually though. I've got it sittin' on my shelf over there... just have to get off my ass and play it.

I'm replaying 2 right now. I've only finished 1-3. I quite fancy all of them.

4, Origins, and Homecoming, in due time ;)

I've only played 1, but never finished it.

Scared the piss out of me back in the day.

The rest don't interest me.

Man, I finished 3 and 4. One I dont have
Two never got to finish it
Origins have it but not playing at the moment
Homecoming of coarse im getting it, PS3 version

Silent Hill was a brilliant series with all four titles.

Origins on the other hand disappointed me. It was too short, too boring, and the system needs something refreshing injected into it or I may fail to show interest toward an upcoming instalment.

So yeah, I've played all and like them all for different reasons.

I think Origins is probably the weakest for scare/survival factor because it allows you to arm yourself with a larger variety of weapons both melee and missile. Can't be too scared when you can just punch the crap out of something. Or bean it with a TV. In that respect it functions more like a battle royale version of SH. While I enjoy grinding monsters into the pavement this kind of dominance seems out of place in a survival horror game.

SH4, I thought, handled the survival aspect quite well since you simply can't stop ghosts for good unless you have special items, which are strictly limited in numbers, so there is always a credible threat roaming around. The story has almost nothing to do with the core SH plot sans a few referential locations, but still creepy.

I know almost nothing about SH Homecoming besides the inclusion of a rich physics engine, but hopefully it won't be as weak as Origins.

I've beaten 2 and 3, started a game on 1 but haven't beaten it yet.

I started with 3 (because of a friend's insistence), and I really think that helped me appreciated Harry. Still, the plots of 1 and 3 seem wonky despite my love of Mr. Mason and (especially) his beautifully twisted daughter. I think because of this I came to appreciate the series for its environments and atmosphere, moreso than for its plots. That of course changed when I finished 2. I honestly found it pretty banal and meh, until...

(spoiler about end of SH2)
...that fateful viewing of James and Mary's video. The revelation that James killed Mary flips the script, in just as big a way as Vincent saying "they look like monsters, to you?"in 3. It changes everything.

Still, I love revisiting locations, and find the majority of my joy with the series in them. That being said, What say we talk about our favorite environments/locations?

1: The School--easily has my favorite transistion to the hell/nightmare side of SH that I've seen so far. Going through the clocktower. *sigh* The piano puzzle is probably my favorite in the game (Not saying it was the most difficult). Plus, I honestly feel like this installment focused too much on outside environments. A "problem" that was phased out pretty nicely, imo :p

2.: Lakeside Hotel--The transistions and hell sides were the weakest in 2, to me. But, the hotel was sprawling and delightful, nonetheless. It houses the moment discussed in the above spoiler, and a favorite (if overused) mechanic of mine: abandoning your inventory for a stretch of gameplay.

And honestly guys,

LIGHTBULBS IN A CAN!!!! Honorable mention: 4 locks on a box that has HAIR in it :D

3: Central Square Shopping Center (THE MALL!!!)--Okay, okay. I have a thing for dead malls. Join me: http://deadmalls.com/

GO GO GO!!!

I played Silent Hill 1-3. I like all of them, but my personal favorite is Silent Hill 2. I think because that game felt like playing a movie mystery to me. Where as the other Silent Hill games felt more like the survival horror game they were intended to be.

The story in Silent Hill 2 is very memorable, and people who don't even play videogames much admit to playing Silent Hill 2.

I never play Silent Hill 4: The Room. The concept just didn't interest me enough. Maybe I'll play it some day.

What say we talk about our favorite environments/locations?

Agreed, the school is one of the best locations ever in any SH.

SH2's underground area (maybe under Toluca Lake, can't remember the name) was pretty freaky. Invisible prisoner and whatnot.

SH3, I loved the freaking shopping mall, ironically since I don't like visiting malls at all for reals. Something about an empty mall and that droning song that accompanies it screams something like teenage wasteland. Without a doubt my favourite area.

SH4? The apartment. Why not.
The hauntings are pretty creepy sure, but what genuinely freaks me out is crucified Walter in his secret room. It's totally got that haunted house feel. A close second is the hospital with its corridor of 22 randomly placed rooms.

SH0 had the theatre going for it. I enjoyed the concept of placing the mirror on stage. Even though it takes you to pretty different versions of SH, they all manage to be creepy.

Something about an empty mall and that droning song that accompanies it screams something like teenage wasteland. Without a doubt my favourite area.

You said this so beautifully :swoon:

Flattery will get you everywhere. ;)

More later, if I feel like scouring deviant properly.

Silent Hill 2 is probably the pinnacle of flawless video game storytelling and atmosphere. It's like Charles Dickens joining the forum for invader zim fan fiction (Couldn't resist the Yahtzee reference.)

But yeah, great game, replaying the game, and I love having the Chainsaw. Also, how many people here loved using the Great Knife? I did :D

Also, I actually caught the Silent Hill film.. compared to most video game movies, it was pretty good.. as a movie alone... yeah... not the best, the film didn't adapt well, but the scenes with Pyramid Head were fucking awesome.

I have accepted the fact that neither Harry or James is the melee master that Heather is.

Still wish James got a Katana, anyway ;_;;

DOUBLE POST STYLEE

I rewatched the movie, and after having played 2, I'm a little up in the air about how I feel about (a) Pyramid Head being in the movie. I've read enough stuff to suggest that they are linked to the town (as evidenced by their appearance in the paintings in the Historical Society, and on the glyph on the noose podium in the prison).

However, their appearance there could easily enough be chalked up to that version of SH being built of James's perceptions. So, should I be upset that they used something unique to James in a movie that for all intents and purposes is refashioned heavily from the original game?

Bonus fun: Having finally played 2, this had me rolling when I was playing earlier tonight http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=gIPGW09zjbc

XD God, I love Heather~

So, should I be upset that they used something unique to James in a movie that for all intents and purposes is refashioned heavily from the original game?

Nah. It's good service to the fans who were probably expecting to see him make an appearance. I think it was a decent thing to do since they couldn't really throw in too many overt references without alienating the mainstream audience. As far as iffy decisions go, I was far more annoyed with the decision to replace Harry's role with a general mother figure...too friggin predictable. Still a good adaptation overall though.

Haha. They take every opportunity to poke fun at James.
Also, see SH4 for a brief reference. No cutscene though. :/

Now all this Silent Hill talk has made me want to replay SH4.

That's fair enough, I suppose.

Apparently you need a SH2 save file on the same memory card to get that easter egg. NO WONDER I NEVER SAW IT BEFORE :D

Also, supposedly you can see a Robbie balloon outside a window in 4 if you have 3 data.

Man, I love easter eggs like that :)

you need to have a cleared sh2 file on the same memory card.
the toilet, the mail, there are 5 references in sh3.

i dont know if you need a sh3 save to see the balloon in 4, i thought that was random

By the way I just found this sexy sexy pic. One of my favourites thus far.

Here go, Purrr:

Omg those are definitely Wincest~

I <3 Heather.....as much as any other gay man should ^^

The whole Heather in daisy dukes pic always stumped me.

But certainly wallpapered as of now.

Haha. I think that's the reaction everyone has~

I couldn't resist making something



Caption needed.

IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE JUST ANOTHER PYRAMID HEAD SCHEME :(

OH MY GOODNESS.

It is delightful! It is saved!

Needs more Great Knife.

So it's been a good while since I played 3 all the way through (see this thread (http://67.19.221.50/~forums/showthread.php?t=47106) as to why I aborted my last playthrough).

I like SQUEEED when I got to SH and realized it was the same map from 2 ^___^ And, of course, going into Heaven's Night was ZOMG.

I'm such a dork :o

"Let me ask you, have you seen a little girl around here?

Short, Black hair... ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!"

Have you seen my wife...Her name's Mary

ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!


ilu, Allen <3

I unlocked the unlimited submachine gun and the flamethrower. Honestly don't know how I got the flamethrower, I meleed almost every enemy, as per usual o_O

I've think I've played very SH (1/2/3/4/0/2:DC/0:PS2)

But, SH2 (DC or regular) is just the best for me.
1 just for being my first "scary" game
3 is just kind of fun
0 was a quick little romp

and 4...well 4 is like "Super Mario Bros. 2 (US Version)" it's not a BAD game per say, but it's not a GOOD Silent Hill game either.
And, it was NOT worth full price....

I messed around with 4 a bit, and I have to say that I really don't have any major problems with it, aside from having a limited inventory (what is this, RE?!? Rob <3). The worlds look and feel like Silent Hill, so far anyway.

I really liked the second one, being in Silent Hill, outside, but not being in town? SWOON.

I'll hold on off on further praise/criticism, but right now it seems like it'll be good times.

OH MY GOODNESS.

It is delightful! It is saved!

Lol. Sweet. I thought you might like it.

Hope you have a good time with SH4 too. Sometimes I think that game gets a bad wrap, unfairly.

I caved and started replaying it despite my copy of Spore arriving. Why do I order new games like I'll actually get to play them?

I noticed something interesting in that dogs don't really attack you if you're walking! Is it like that in any of the others? It's not something that would usually be an issue for me as I have a fetish for bashing things over the head with pipes. :]

Doomjockey, by process of elimination, we have Heather to offer you. Sorry, the degrees of freedom have been used up. Unless you know, Travis or Alex~

Heather is winsauce nevertheless~

This is oh so very true.

Also Do it, DO IT!

I tried a bit of 2 on hard just now (action and riddle) and I have to say it really annoyed me greatly. Not because I couldn't handle it (I can dodge with the best of 'em ;) )but because it made me feel like I had to rush around. I know this is certainly conducive to getting a 10-star run, but it felt HORRIBLE to me. It made me realize that I like to....linger. I couldn't appreciate hole in the wall #546 because I had to run around like mad to avoid the patient demons in the apartments :o That's where I stopped, obviously.

This conclusion is certainly in line with my earlier claim that I appreciate the games for atmosphere and environments. Hard puzzle level doesn't bother me a bit, if you were wondering.

So, my fellow SH protagonists (^_^), have you ever tried and/or achieved a 10-star run on any of the games?

So, my fellow SH protagonists (^_^), have you ever tried and/or achieved a 10-star run on any of the games?

No, Sorry I feel ashamed.....

Or do I?

I don't feel any need to. Unlocking all the extra weapons and getting the endings is enough bonus content for me.

Double post stylee~

I got 8+ stars on 3 today, without even trying. The scary part is if I didn't use the unlimited machine gun, it would have been 9+.

The only things I would have had to have done is finished it on Hard, and saved a couple times less. Crazy.

8 stars? Congrats!

That's pretty epic...think my max is about 5 stars.

And I've never had the motivation to try getting anymore.

I will consider it 9, in my heart. I could have easily done the exact same with normal weapons :p

What do you get for a 10 star run?

Pride.

And a bigger and stronger Beam Saber :naughty:

So, my fellow SH protagonists (^_^), have you ever tried and/or achieved a 10-star run on any of the games?

Nope. Not a fan of trying either. I am also a huge fan of lingering (makes me think of that old song by The Cranberries) and general time-wasting exploration. If I happen to get a good rating while I stop to bash everything in the area, good for me, but it's never a priority. Doing it this way, I believe I've achieved a max run of 7-8 stars, but it's been so long I might just be stroking my ego.

Harry's open for any takers.



I'll be doing a 2 run this weekend, and probably working on 4. Still want to get that katana for Harry, though. We'll see how things shake out.

I love these games. I use to spend hours watching my mum play the first one when i was little and it use to really freak me out. weve finishe 1,2,3 and 4.

6+ stars on 2. Clearly, it isn't as friendly on time as 3 is :o

I always think I've got the rowing down and then I start off doing the wrong thing :mad: Aim with left. Spin 'round with right. *facepalm*

Oh I forgot to post that I got 8 Stars on SH 1.

That's awesome, Allen!

I had one of those HOLY SHIT moments in 4 today! A nurse outfit.....for a nurse........named Rachael :o

The funny thing is you might not understand why that's important til you play 2, Allen. They might explain it in 4, though. I'm not sure. We'll see.

Oh I forgot to post that I got 8 Stars on SH 1.

I think that's the amount I got on my first run of SH2. Mostly because I killed ALOT of bastard, and died less then ten times throughout the course of the game. Plus, I made a joke challenge to myself that "once i get the great knife, it'll be the only weapon I use from now one." It actually worked, one hit kills rule, and Eddie sure as shit didn't expect it. But yeah, slowed me down a bit, so I decided not to use it for much longer.

I like the appropriateness of James getting a great knife, but still long for a Katana ;_;;

What's that, 3 times I've said that in this thread :p

SOMEONE HACK ME A ROM :mad:

I wasn't even expecting 8 stars, I was thinking more of like 5 stars in my first SH1 run.

@Neg: I have an idea but best not say I understand, Ill take your word and play SH2, as soon as I get over SH3 hurting my eyes.

I'm telling ya, Allen. Turn the resolution down from Sharp to Normal. Also, funk around with the settings on your tv. The colors in 3 are a lot more warm (i.e., orange) than the other games. It never physically bothered me, but I can see how it could. In particular, anytime the walls are covered in blood I have a hard time seeing.

3 Spoiler
The underpass in an Extra New Game is especially annoying even when the brightness is turned all the way up :o

I really started appreciating 4 when I was working through the building world and especially the apartment world. Something appropriate about Frank owning an apartment complex. When I found the keys I was like OH GOD YES. I get to be a voyuer in everyone's apartments :) I love that they gave each a theme and a character(s). Definitely an improvement over Wood Side/Blue Creek.

Just as 3's Brookhaven perfected 2's hellside. ^___^ PULSATING BLOODY WALLS~ Someday you'll get to read this, Allen :p

Yeah, this level is leagues better and oh so fascinating. Getting to read all their secret stuff! I never thought I was in to that kind of thing though. O.o

Maybe it's Henry acting through me.

Were you as dumb as me and tried to solve that love triangle with the phone call? NOT RECOMMENDED.

Some of those guys were total weirdos though and ever since that time I've eyed my neighbours suspiciously...

I'm still with the game off and on, among other games but I'm trying to play sans firearms, which I usually do for 90% of the game until a dog really annoys me. It always bugged me that I never used a golf club. So far, I just made it past the 22 random rooms in the hospital. Freaky stuff. I'll put my spoilers on hold if you haven't yet arrived, Neg.

TBH, the love triangle thing isn't worked out in my head. I can tell I'm going to be playing through it again as soon as I finish so I get to have a coherent experience (like with 2). It isn't helping that I'm insanely busy of late, and that yesterday (and today) I was feeling pretty much like death.

Still, I was bit pretty hard by 4 yesterday and I'm really glad (even if some of the story details are a little foggy). Deeper connections to 2 are certainly selling points for me, as noted above ;) Oh man, and

Walter showing up at my door after meeting him :o I jumped! Who knew Walter and P. Head were in the same league ^_^

I'd be looking for an entry in the latest purchase thread from me this week~(I hope so badly it'll be tomorrow, but can't promise that :sad:)

Thread 60144

Just cracked open Silent Hill Homecoming. Anyone else get this game yet?

Man, you know I did but im not playing it until I finish 2, and 3.
also Origins

Yes. Need to finish 4, and play Origins, though.

Oh and buy a PS3 to play it on :p

Hi5

Haven't played Origins. I heard the game was rather disappointing, so I wasn't even sure I should even bother with it... Should I?

Its a Silent Hill game 'nuff said.

HAHA jk

Well from what I have played it seemed like
A good game not disappointing at all.
but thats just me I DID only play it for like
3 hours.

Nope, actually I played for like 20 minutes and let the game run (because I forgotten, had to do some other stuff)
by the time I came back to play it, it was 3 hours of gameplay...ya see?
but I have not completed the game

Stupid claw monster just killed Alex... don't know how he managed to block all my attacks...

Jeez I hate escorting. It should never be in ANY game. I've actually left her behind in safe screens to forge on, on my own. That has worked pretty well so far.

Has someone made the obvious FMV of SH4 set to Come on Eileen?

I have a hard time finding out where to put Holy Candles to actually let them do their magic. I've got two hauntings right now that I'm just leaving alone. One's in the bedroom and I can just automatically jet out the door without taking damage. The other is a lovely wall of babies over my box. I can open it from the hallway side, so no need to get rid of it, I guess.

Let me know if hauntings will ever take over the WHOLE apartment if left unchecked.

Oh, and you can move the load images (that little dude and the mark of Samael) with the analog stick~

Yeah, at some point if you do not take care of the hauntings, they will completely over run the apartment. At that point, there will be very little room to move around without taking any damage.

In addition, leaving the hauntings unchecked can have an effect on Eileen and...

the ending of the game.

Agi, speaks the truth, Neg
and also Me im at the Nightmare Hospital...
Happy Birthday to me!?!?
Yay????

Awesomely true. But that means you've made it to the hospital! Soon I shall pick your brain.

Usually somewhere flat, like on a chair or a dresser. Sometimes I have a hard time doing so without taking damage. Failing that, Saint Medallions do the job a lot better.

I finally found the torch and when I did, I heard a door opening and I was like WTH?!?! It was Walter! I had already seen him twice in the woods but I am just so obscenely happy that he shows up on his own accord. It's like twisted elation. HEY WALTER, I *axe chop* LOVE *axe chop* YOU, YOU GLORIOUS BASTARD *axe chop*

Totally looked for him in my rearview mirror when I went out tonight :o

I despised the final battle in Silent Hill: The Room. I picked up every single Magnum round in the game and saved it for the final battle and after busting the final boss with every bullet , they're still alive. It takes quite a bit of swinging a melee weapon to take their sorry butt down. But, I guess it was one of the more challenging boss fights out of all the Silent Hill final battles to date.

SWEET. That has to be one of the best areas in the game. Possessed wheelchairs. Burping enemies. Dr Walter. The 22 rooms of weirdness. Did you wander through them all?

I'm not normally scared by games but there's one that still spooks me to this day

Eileen head room

...but luckily that's greatly offset by the playful wheelchairs scampering aimlessly down hall. They look quite happy to me.

Every time Henry crawls through a portal, it reminds me of James sticking his hand in that creepy hole. Maybe emerging in a familiar apartment? Wouldn't bet on it, but sounds like a great idea for a pic.


ari, I'm not too sure the boss is vulnerable all the time (depending on who we're talking about) but, yeah I never manage to end it with all the bullets in my inventory and I'm a basher who saves EVERYTHING. Then again, I've never gone in pure combat i.e. with bullets/guns taking up all my slots. Mainly cos you can't pistol whip.

I hear you finally do it in Homecoming, true??

Hi guys! Just got a quick (tech) question for SH Homecoming. Did any of you had any "problems" with loading game saves? Without spoiling anything, at a certain point, I picked up a few items for a puzzle and when I loaded my save the next day, the item had "vanished" from my item stock....and when I went back to where I picked it up, the item was NOT there seeing as I picked it up previous to saving. So I had to start over :@.....anyone else had other problems like that?? :\......thanks and SH rocks :D......

Yup, you can. ;-)

Eileen head room

I did indeed. It was a great level, but still falls short of the building and apartment worlds. I dunno, I just have this fascination with the mundane. A deserted pet store/sports store (*cough*mall in 3*cough*) :swoon:


...but luckily that's greatly offset by the playful wheelchairs scampering aimlessly down hall. They look quite happy to me.

Haha. I whacked them a couple times at the beginning and then they never really bothered me again.

HAHAHA That image is badass!
I like it. :)

Oh well....it was truly weird.....hasn't happened again....but I'm freakin' paranoid each time I save now....plus, it seems there are only 6 slots to save games in the PS3 version.....anywho.....maybe the psyche of Silent Hill invaded my PS3.....:P.......Thanks!

Finished 4, yes, yes I did.

Have to say my prediction wasn't bourne out. I was pretty well convinced that Henry was the one committing Walter's post-suicide murders :o

Have to report that it was an all melee game. Nary a single bullet fired.

Have to recommend the plot analysis by Silent Pyramid at GameFaqs. Two hours of reading it had everything making perfect sense, as opposed to the game by itself :o :o :o


In the state of Massachusetts, where
Ashfield is located, one can find two towns - Townshend and Sunderland.

Holla.


Henry's image is not that of a hero or a maniac. Just an ordinary middle-aged
man. A lonely person, who closed himself from the world in his Room. His
neighbor is another lonely person - Eileen Galvin - whom he has no interest
in. Another neighbor of his is Mike - yet another lonely person, drowning in
his unrequited love for Rachel. Room 105 is the room of Frank Sunderland, who
has lost his son and wanted to find a friend in Townshend. Room 205 holds a
gamer, who, like Henry, never leaves his apartment. 102 - a woman, who loved
cats so much, that she never found a human being to love. And numerous other
instances of the same thing. This is reality - millions of lonely people,
languishing in their own cages ("coin lockers") and living their only life in
"happy" loneliness, dying little by little every day of this existance.

Wowza. Elenor Rigby (http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=k9Itt02QOO0), can't resist ;)

Accordingly, the rewrite I came up with after I played it for the first time:

"I'm fixing a hole where the pain gets in, and stops my life from wandering, where it will go~"

I believe that SH4 had a great plot and scenario, but I never got the patience to finish it.....I played half of it, 'til you have to babysit Eileen.....plus the ghost were a major pain :@....I think SHH is great step up from SH4 and I have yet to complete SH0..... :)

I've jokingly made fun of 4 for being different, but at the end of the day, I absolutely adore it. You can see the Silent Shriners thread in GD for more of my opinion on why it's good that it's different from 1-3.

Doomjockey already said it in this thread, 4 embodies the survival aspect moreso than the first 3. You can't put down ghosts permanently for the most part (yes, there are the 5 swords of obedience), so it makes the game much more nerve wracking and challenging, even on easy.

When I play 1-3, I end up with dozens of health drinks and tens of med kits. In 4, it feels like every single one counts after the apartment stops healing you.

Were you as dumb as me and tried to solve that love triangle with the phone call? NOT RECOMMENDED.

I have now ^___^ Pretty simple really, Frank and others thought that Mike was her boyfriend, when in actuality it's the artist in 202.

Richard bumped into Mike in the hall, dragged him into his apartment, stripped him naked and beat him. Walter (and the gamer) thought that he really skinned him (hence the name on the tape and Walter killing him via electricution), when he actually just took his best clothes. The drunk took the shirt ("I'll keep this one for myself") and the cat lady took the jeans to wrap her dead cat in.

Everyone in that apartment complex was weird except for Henry.

Eileen's pretty normal, except for you know...



Do any of you guys actually equip any of her weapons?

Oh yeah, stupid Eileen! Something's wrong when it's safer to send out your ally unarmed.

For realz

I like all 4 games, 4 wasn't as scary to me, and yeah; 1 was creepiest. Though 2 and 4 had certain enemies that scared the heck outta me o_o.

I think the reason 1 feels scarier is the cruder graphics. The harder it is to make something out, the scarier it is. Not to mention 1 had allot of disorienting and grotesque indoor areas.

This is an acceptable thread to bump ;)

I need to get around to playing Origins and Born from a Wish

Never played the games, though I did want to (and still do). Saw the movie though, while I was on shrooms. Is it anything like the games?

I need to get around to playing Origins and Born from a Wish

i felt depressed after finishing born from a wish.
i honestly dont know why.

Yup I still need to finish homecoming... I have not played it in a long while.

i felt depressed after finishing born from a wish.
i honestly dont know why.

Because it was superfluous and the waste of an hour?

I started Origins. How dare people call James fat. He can run indefinitely. Travis can't say the same :o

Without saving I tried out some melee weapons. Hitting a patient demon on the head with a tv and a typewriter is pretty ace, I gotta admit.

Hey SH fans! After seeing the SH movie, I want to start playing the games, but the only one available for me to play is Homecoming. I have heard mixed reviews, but I was wondering if it would be a good game for a newcomer of the series to start playing. Note: I have played Resident Evil 4 and Doom 64, so I am not new to the survival horror genre :)

Thanks for any opinions everyone has! :)

Depends on your tastes.

Do you own a PS2? If so, SH2, SH3, SH4, and SH:Origins are available. You can find the first SH on the web. I got mine from ebay at $20.

Is Silent Hill Origins even worth playing? Read a review on it from Gamespot (I think) and didn't give it an entirely good review.

Of course, critics always tend to be more harsher with just about anything these days.

Note: I have played Resident Evil 4 and Doom 64, so I am not new to the survival horror genre :)

Doom 64? I swear, I dunno how people decide what's survival horror these days.

I also dunno how prepared those games make you for SH. SH is classic survival horror so expect finite bullets, more retreat, and more puzzles.



Is Silent Hill Origins even worth playing?



I think Origins is probably the weakest for scare/survival factor because it allows you to arm yourself with a larger variety of weapons both melee and missile. Can't be too scared when you can just punch the crap out of something. Or bean it with a TV. In that respect it functions more like a battle royale version of SH. While I enjoy grinding monsters into the pavement this kind of dominance seems out of place in a survival horror game.

That said, it adheres very closely to staples of SH goodness (like psychological terror for poor Travis) so I think it was well worth the playthru.

I'm at the end of the theater, and I have to say I loves me some Travis.

I liked punching stuff...

Depends on your tastes.

Do you own a PS2? If so, SH2, SH3, SH4, and SH:Origins are available. You can find the first SH on the web. I got mine from ebay at $20.

Sadly, no. The only system I own that SH is available on is the 360.

What I want to know is, should I even bother with Homecoming? I've heard mixed reviews about, so I don't want to waste my money for a game that isn't up to SH standards. The scarier the better :)

SH2 is on regular Xbox, does that work on the 360?

It should!

Most games are backwards compatible for it now, iirc.

King of Fighters 2003 isn't. :( :mad:

It should!

Most games are backwards compatible for it now, iirc.

it does, no apparent errors or glitches so far on my version.

however, sh4 IS a glitchfest

There are glitches in SH4??

I like Homecoming. A little different that the usual "feel" the others had (excluding Origins and 4), but I still enjoyed it.

And yes, SH2 will work on the 360.

Origins feels like 1, to me. 4 feels different, but I dig it quite a bit.

I'm continually floored by Origins:

Oh good, that boss is dead.
*dusts off hands*
*sees said boss in the street outside*
SON OF A...

I'm going to check out Homecoming now, it will be the next game that I play after I finish Half-Life 2 :) I'll make sure to tell you guys what I think of it ;)

Lol I know exactly what you mean.

Also, according to my friend, SH4 wasn't originally going to be a SH game; it was just going to be called "The Room". But in fear that the game wouldn't sell, they made some minor changes to the script/dialogue and changed the names of some places and people and then slapped the Silent Hill name on it. I've never cared about it so I haven't really checked into it myself.

But Origins felt like a Silent Hill game, but it felt like a different game that I can't explain at the same time. The first 3 SH games felt like I was playing SH. Homecoming had that eerieness that SH has, but you can't help but feel like you're playing RE4/5 in a SH setting.

It was heavily re-worked nothing minor about it.
It was originally called Room 302, and
the final product we get is this awesome game,
if only people paid close attention SH4.

What Allen said <3

RE4&5 in a SH setting. Another reason I'm probably going to love Homecoming :D

More like controls. Makes you think you're playing either RE4 or 5. I still enjoyed it :D.

Trying to get all the endings but keep getting distracted.

Meh. Like I said, didn't care to much about it to look into it myself.

Cleared Origins. Overall, loved it. I was pissy for a long time, because I was trying to just punch everything to death and save items, but that results in you using health items like a bastard.

So, use your melee items, kids, there's thousands of them around.

I'll probably work on getting the other accolades. Because I like playing dress-up :mad:

Cheers. =)

What kind of accolades did you rate?

Savior (duh)
Explorer
Collector
Brawler

Savior
Explorer
Collector
Brawler
Weaponsmith
Stalker
Ambassador
Fireman
Codebreaker

I figure I can get Butcher and Sharpshooter on the same runthrough, and then Cartographer, Daredevil, and Sprinter on another.

EDIT:

Butcher
Sharpshooter
Cartographer
Daredevil

Missed Sprinter by 7 minutes because I got lost in the hotel, mainly because my second runthrough ended early because I got the UFO ending.

Silent Hill is my by far my favorite game series. I enjoyed 2 the most though I'm not a big fan of Homecoming. For awhile there I was wary of either Origins or Homecoming because they weren't done by Team Silent but Origins was well done despite plot holes. I just find it funny that in the first 4 SHs the main characters have little to no fighting ability whatsoever, yet as soon as the Americans got a hold of the rights they put a punch-happy trucker and a soldier in the main character slot. That's why I'm excited for the Wii's Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for I heard there will be a serious lack of weapons in the game. I read in an interview with the games creators in NP that they didn't want SH to become like RE in the way that RE is more of an action-horror than a survival-horror because you feel so empowered by your weaponry in RE while SH should be more about being afraid of the enemies/monsters and not just being able to plow through them.

I'm also a big fan of the games' music by Yamaoka who I find to be a musical genius. The fact that his favorite SH is 2 is a big reason why I enjoy it so damn much. I liked the OST for Origins as well but Homecoming wasn't what I expected from a SH game. This is mainly because while I realize that there are going to be ambient long, droning bg music as a part of the soundtrack, I didn't expect 99% of the music to be this way. I like previous OSTs for their song songs with singing and lyrics. All in all, if I had to recommend what SHs to play to someone, I would only recommend 1-3.

I loved that Travis was punch-happy. America, FUCK YEAH.

Also, I'd love to have a mod of RE4 and 5 with James and Henry in Leon and Chris's places :D

Not that I expect the series to go this way, but it's nice to dream...

1 hour 14 minutes!!!!

I meant to shave off 7 minutes, but I shaved off 53!

SPRINTER, BITCH.

Awesome, Hi5!

I wish all SH games broke things into accolades so you could focus on one thing at a time.

I'm not very good at trying to do everything perfect at once. That's pretty true for me in IRL too ;)

I do without trying (mostly), Am I broken? :(

You get 10 star runs without trying? (I hate you)

OR

You do life without trying? (I love you)

How about a kill, for luck?

Saved

You get 10 star runs without trying? (I hate you)

OR

You do life without trying? (I love you)

A little of both?

Which ones have you got 10 star runs for?

I managed to have everything by my third run through.


:D

4th, but only because I missed by 7 freakin' minutes on my third.

Which ones have you got 10 star runs for?

I don't remember?

I'm calling your bluff. I want pix. I remember you getting like 9 stars on one of them. But even I've technically done that.

You may have caught me, but I really don't remember. I do remember getting that nine, though.

4th, but only because I missed by 7 freakin' minutes on my third.
I took my time on the first, making sure I got everything and such and killed as many monsters as I could. Second time I didn't use my flashlight (didn't know about this until after I beat the first play-through), and only killed the bosses and one's that got in my way, and the UFO ending, last time...I ran my ass off. Since I had that alien rifle, the bosses went down easy.

Pretty much the way I did it. Except I got lost in the motel (forgot about Trav's "desolation row" and kept looking for a key) on my third because I did the UFO my second time and didn't have to finish the motel.

My friend got the game before me and he told me pretty much what I said I did. He didn't tell me why though. But after 20 hours in my first play through (just to get everything, get familiar with what triggers which cutscene, and kill every monster), I pretty much knew why after a lot of shit was unlocked for my second time.

So yeah, I CHEATED! AND I LIKED IT!

The game is darker on PS2. But my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th playthroughs were under 3 hours anyway, so I always got Stalker, even though I had the light on the whole time.

I was watching this movie with my dad, tonight. It was like cival war era, and they were riding through fog. I was like, man, Silent Hill gloty. And then I thought too bad we can't have a civil war era SH. and then I remembered HELL YES WE CAN.

Actually, that wouldn't be such a bad idea... Think about it. An alternate reality during the civil war.

Wouldn't that be fucking creepy?

A lot of SH's history involves the civil war, with the cult forming shortly thereafter. It'd be genius.

Did not know that. Now that I think about it, they never said how or why the cult was formed, did they? The only thing close to it's roots was in the movie about how the founders of the town were witch hunters, but that's about it. Unless I missed something of course.

Ummm, maybe because you didn't play 4 ;)

There's some of it there, and we can't direct link to faqs on Gamefaqs, so go there, select a SH game and read SilentPyramid's Plot Analysis FAQ. It'll take ya a couple hours, but sooo worth it.

I have played 4 and beaten it two times! A few years in between but it matters not! But it's not the kind where I can play it repeatedly like the other ones. Not one of my favorites. I think it moves too slow until towards the end.

And if you can summarize it in a few short paragraphs, I'll read it :).

Alright, I'll write you up a summary this weekend.

There's a couple tidbits about the history of the cult in 4, of course you have to find all the memos, which is easier than having Eileen read all the journal entries in the woods. Good lord, that's what made me start beating her in the first place.

I can play 4 repeatedly, but I play SHs more than anything else, mainly because they are relatively short. So yes, more than Pokemon.

I don't usually try and find all the memos unless they help me progress.

Also, is there a widescreen option?

On the PS2 port of Origins there is. I wouldn't recommend actually putting it or any other PS2 game into a PS2 that is hooked up to a HDTV, though

CUZ FUZZY

Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams for the XBox is hella good. I beat it not too long ago. I just bought SH3 for my PS2 and am gonna start playing it probably sometime this week.

I wouldn't expect as riveting a story, but the environments are aces, in my book.

I need that on a tshirt, STAT

Alright, IDX, from skimming back over the FAQ, this is the short of it. Right after the civil war Jennifer Carroll was murdered by the Christians for her faith regarding the Order (the cult). Just check out her statue in Rosewater Park in 2. She lived with Nicholas who is called the doctor of god in one of the paintings in the church of SH3, iirc. So basically the idea is she gave birth to the first coming of 'god.'

This is all really sketchy, which is why I prefer the (overtly) character driven Silent Hills more (2, 4, Origins), as opposed to those dealing with the cult in specific (1, 3; I'll argue that 4, while about the cult, is more about that dreamboat Walter, his victims, and those lovely tenants of S. Ashfield Heights~)

Hmm, a fast iron on print out could make that happen.

Indeed.

Hey guys, just posting in here to say that Resi > Silent Hill.


Bye guys

I wouldn't expect as riveting a story, but the environments are aces, in my book.

Yeah, I don't have my hopes up. SH2 blew me away, man. I'm already assuming that it's the best in the series.

Bumping this shizzz for Purrrrrrrrr

Spoiler tags in effect, gentlemen, I still haven't played it, as you know.


Yeah, I don't have my hopes up. SH2 blew me away, man. I'm already assuming that it's the best in the series.

I believe it to be, yes ^______^

Only I can bump!

You just lost major cool points, sir!

I can edit posts.....

Oh ya?

That's fine too.

Ok, since we are back in a Silent Hill mood. I am continuing my Homecoming game.

I am at the part where
After the Sewers and am currently finishing the Fans that are numbered
*Edit:
Defeated the boss, wow strategizing! Fuck yeah!

**EDITFuck that Alex isn't a true wielder of the Steel Pipe of Justice!?!?!?!!?!? He loses it. :/

Regarding your third spoiler: he gets it back.

Fuck that Alex isn't a true wielder of the Steel Pipe of Justice!?!?!?!!?!? He loses it. :/

You take that back! Such blasphemy!

BLAST FROM THE PAST RESPONSE FOR ARI


Haven't played Origins. I heard the game was rather disappointing, so I wasn't even sure I should even bother with it... Should I?

Opinions differ. Purrr found it to be repetitive. Think he used the word bullshit, too :o

I found it to be delightfully character driven in spite of it being technically an odd numbered entry. Is it short? Yes, one of the achievements is finishing it in 2 hours. However, the environments are fleshed out well and it incorporates the ability to move between the nightmare and misty worlds at will, when faced with a mirror. It's Link to the Past with rust and blood :D

I genuinely love Travis and it might sound crazy, but in some ways I want to make it my second favorite SH.

I really enjoyed Origins now that I think about it. Especially the bad ending. What a shocking twist, eh?

I think I might play it again on my PS2...after I beat Re:Chain of Memories. Maybe.

Bad ending IS quite fun ^_^

I don't like planning out what I'm going to play next--makes it feel like work and not fun--but there is a greater than 0 chance of me playing Homecoming in the VERY near future.

Especially seeing as I'm the last of our gory band to play it.

I'd say I need to be ready for Shattered Memories, but who am I kidding, I never play games right away :o

I never finished Homecoming...

It's so unlike me :(

And tbqh ruining my bragging rights about playing the whole series (minus that Japanese only stuff that's a bitch to get a hold of)

I think I might play it again on my PS2...after I beat Re:Chain of Memories. Maybe.

How is that going for ya? I was about to buy it just because I finished 1 and 2. Is it good, is it bad so far?

Assuming you're talking about R:CoM, then it's alright. Not a big fan of there being not nearly as much dialogue as the others, but it DID come from the GBA. But it can be hard at times and can make you want to kick a baby during others :). Because I've played it on the GBA, it just feels pretty...I dunno, familiar? It's more fun to me than the GBA though.

I dunno! I like it. We'll just leave it at that.

I may have to pick it up just for kicks then. I've bought far worse games (e.g. Mario is Missing, Sonic and the Secret Ring). At least SH0 wouldn't as bad as those.

The only problem is this game seems to be extremely scarce to find these days... if I can't find it in-store somewhere, may have to resort to ebay.

I remember talking to Solaris and she decided she wanted to play the series. That made me think and realize that it can be an expensive proposition if you aren't lucky enough to have well stocked game stores with healthy used sections. Sometimes, even that doesn't help, as I've seen plenty of the entries going for $30, in said sections.

Getting into this series can be expensive, if you don't play it smart. And you wonder why I try to snag every copy I run across (besides the initial need to replace the ones I borrowed from a friend and sent to other friends :erm:) ;)

I sent her a copy of 2. Wonder if she ever played it...

I can get Origins again for $19.99 for either PSP of PS2 at this local comic book shop. The first and third games are the most expensive I think. I mean, if you see the first one going for $50, second for $10, and third for $40, then you might want to have a pretty healthy wad of cash if you want to get them.

Yeah, I saw Origins on amazon.com for $19.99 + shipping. However, I'm gonna see if any places here in town have it first before resorting to online ordering.

I prefer my games in brand new condition. I don't like used games because I would say 60% of game owners don't take care of their discs properly.

I'm only missing the first and second ones. I played those when my brother was living with us. I have 3 and up though. He doesn't. LOL.

You want a copy of SH2 hit me up with a PM, dawg <3

I lucked out on getting the first one as cheap as I did. $20 was my bid on ebay (my maximum) and someone did the same after me. But because I placed mine first, mine counted. If they put in a penny more, I would've lost. And it had hardly any scratches on it too.

I paid like $50 for 1. But it is flawless, so I can sleep at night ;)

I'll feel better when they release it in the PS Store. HURRY IT THE FUCK UP.

I don't have multiple copies, CAN YOU TELL? XD

I can get it buffed by a $1000 CD buffer for 3 bucks. But I've only played it once since I got it. A buddy of mine is into the series as much as I am and he's never played or even watched anyone play the first game (he usually has me play scary games because he gets creeped out). I forgot about some of the stuff so at one point, I jumped so badly that I dropped the controller.

Yeah, I was lucky to get SH1 too. I remember when I got it! <3 The first person I told was NEG~

And you got it for cheaper than me and I wanted to strangle you.

*sigh* good times :D

Man, I was/am all obsessed with SH at the time, man. Especially SH4, Henry Townshend their is soo much to you. <3

You see that Eddie posted in GD?

Who is Eddie?

I've played the first and second one. LOVED the first one! The second one was so creepy, but awesome! Working on Origins right now. <3<3 Just finished beating the boss at the theater and heading toward the Riverside Motel. I'm loving Origins!! Except for the sanitarium. Ugh...

I am ~planning~ on playing the third and fourth installment. I want to play Homecoming, too. But I don't have the right game console or the right computer requirements to play it. But I'm really glad I'll be able to play most of the series. :D

Random question, would anyone know where I could buy the actual soundtracks, NOT bootlegs?

Sanitarium bugged me at first, too. And then I realized that I didn't like it because I was getting lost and it was creeping me out (just like the subway in 3 did the first time) and so I figured hey it's doing its job. And, doing it well.

It really is the biggest trouble when doing a speedrun to get the Sprinter accolade. Just takes practice, though.


Thanks for the link to the script, Eddie! I usually just use the memo faq at gamefaqs, but having the script is really handy. I bookmarked it :)

I'd recommend looking for a place that sells anime/video game kinda merchandise. There's this place close by me that sells replica's of weapons and stuff from anime and video games. They also sell toys, soundtracks, and trading cards. If there isn't a place like that near you, ebay works too. My friend bought the SH2 OST from there. I burned myself a copy before finding it at a shop in Kansas for $20 so I bought it for myself (along with the KHII OST and a live orchestra of FF music).

http://laboratorycreatureeffects.com/silenthill.html

This was pretty good!

Scaring kids, ftfw!!! Anytime I see an OG P. Head, you KNOW I'm happy :)

For all the effort that went into the costumes, that sign is less than halfbaked. Still want a historical society sign shirt :(

Thanks for the advice! I'll try the game shop close by my place and take a look. Hopefully I'll also find SH3 and The Room games used (along with the soundtracks).

Is there any way to tell which OSTs are the real and official releases from ones that aren't?

I know that Silent Hill 3 had the soundtrack included with the game. But as far as I know, that's the only one that was released "officially" outside of Japan. Most stores import the soundtracks so usually, there's some kind of paper thing covering some of the left side of the case that has Japanese writing on it. Hard to explain but all the video game soundtracks I have had this paper cover thingy.

You can look on amazon, ebay, or whatever site that sells the CDs to get a look at what the real one's look like. If you ask, I'm sure they'll tell you if they're bootlegs or not.

I have an import album with that paper on it. It's a Green Day live album.

...Green Day?

I edited the first post in that thread. hehehe

I'll be playing Homecoming once I get home from work tonight

You'll get to experience the hotness that is Alex. :-D

Homecoming progress:
Awesome I am after..

"The Attic"

Also, HAHA Cybil reference.

I've just scouted the town hall in Shepherd's Glen and am heading towards Alex's house

I couldn't help noticing that the characters in Homecoming look a lot like many different actors. Take Alex for example: he looks like that Nick something that used to be with Jessica Simpson. I think they look very similar (except Alex has brown eyes).

Did anyone else notice?

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk252/Perfectallen/nick_lachey.jpghttp://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk252/Perfectallen/AlexShepherd.jpg

Alex is clearly better looking, and smarter too, for never having married the wrong Simpson sister.



I like Dennis Leary as James, too. NOT THAT GUY FROM TDK. Erin Eckhardt some shit.

I thought that blond guy from the first Saw movie looked a lot like James. But it's weird like that!

You'll get to experience the hotness that is Alex. :-D

I actually do not find Alex remotely attractive.

His face just looks odd to me and doesn't hold a candle to the hunk that is Chris Redfield :naughty:

Johnny Knoxville?

Do not see the resemblance on that one.

Johnny Knoxville?

That's him! But it was only in one scene during one facial expression though that they thought they resembled each other.

It's funny you post this though because people said that Chris from RE5 resembled Nick Lachey. My gosh... has he become the new "handsome" face of male video game characters now?

Chris's eyes are closer together than Nick's. I always thought Chris was goofy looking in RE5 lol.

BTW, is this a screenshot from the PC version of the game?

Chris is pretty swoony in 5, but me and Rob and Purrr and Ari and Cam have discussed that many a time, already.

LOL.

oh wow.

well, im personally looking forward to silent hill wii

I'm not sure what you mean. The only boss I have fought is Sepulcher at the bottom of Grand Hotel. After this, Alex meets up with Wheeler and they get separated. Alex joins Elle and they escape into the sewers.

Unless you mean the Siam monster? But even that doesn't suit your description

Yup, I meant the Siam. Just couldn't remember t he name... but yeah, my description was spot on... the woman legs on the back (even grunts like a woman when taking damage), and if you look at the head, it's a pair of hands. ;-)

Ah makes sense now. In all honesty I didn't take much notice of it, just busted out my newly found shotgun and gave it what for :D

I hate you two. I started playing Origins, night before last. But like I can't do that cuz I'm staying at the hospital with my grandfather.

GRRRRRRRR

then play it in the hospital for a 5+ in terror.
one time youre fistfighting a demon nurse, the next second man-like nurse helga enters the door to check on grandpa and you scream so loud in terror even the guy that died next door revived.

You didn't bring your PSP with you?

I don't have a PSP. But, I am indeed coming to you live from the hospital. My DS wouldn't connect to their router, but my comp can ^_____^

IT'S ON.

I hate you two.

I think that's a sign for you to finally start on Homecoming then. ;-)

I addressed that just above, yes.

Hey Neg, I hope your grandfather is alright, man.

He seems okay right now. Just tired.

Glad to hear, Neg. :-)

Good to hear Neg.

And I thought you already had Homecoming?

I do. Just haven't played it. It was the first PS3 game that I bought, before I even had the system.

Surely you remember that fiasco ;)

LOL! That's crazy you would buy a game before having the system, but if you already knew you would get a PS3 at some point, I guess that's okay. ;-)

I bought International Supervideos! before I had a DVD player. It's definitely a trend with me.

I was wrong. NOW, it's on~

:billymays:

Atmospheric game. It is like some weird dream or nightmare. Very cliche, but good non the less.

:billymays:

Are you finally playing it? ;)

Note that Purrr is being a cheeky bastard. #7 :rolleyes:

Lord forbid I want to acknowledge your role as one of the founding members :p

Doesn't even have to mean Harry. We could have a Voltron thing going.

Sven was dressed in black, but piloted the blue lion.
Lance was dressed in blue, but piloted the red lion.
Princess was dressed in pink, but piloted the blue lion after Sven got hurt.
Keith was dressed in red, but piloted the black lion.

So gloriously screwed up.
