Please elaborate.

Bukkae.

I suspect you're just trying to get on people's tits but I've not played it, so if you're still here, what didn't you like about it?

>>44206185
The story is a poor attempt at being "deep" or symbolic.

The endings are shit, all of them.

The entire game is 3 phase levels: Explore, Run, Talk.

Only One kind of enemy in the game.

Godawful dialogue.

Unresponsive Controls.

It's on Wii. There's your problem. You should have gone with the PS2 version.

>>44206405

all stories in all videogames are shitty, trying to be deep and symbolic, hamfisted horseshit.

see: MGS series

>>44206988
>>44206405
Give me an example of something that IS deep.

Wii =/= good games

>>44207061

I like your style man.

This thread is now about excellent Wii games, pic related.

Now I know why Akira Yamaoka left Konami.

>>44206405

Just got the game today, and I haven't finished it, but the controls are really annoying. I shake off an enemy, and then Henry (Harry? I forget his name) decides he doesn't want to turn slightly to the left so I can avoid getting hit again.

Also, do you mean that those annoying fuckers are the one and only enemy type in the whole damn game?

>>44207061

1. Go to local college
2. Campus store
3. Ask for the first year lit course textbook
4. Enjoy!

>>44206405
>Only One kind of enemy in the game
wat, is this true?

>>44206405
>>44207304


Wow.

If you casuals can't even shake off a little rawshock, you really are scrubs.

I guess I'm just hardcore enough to handle the Wii's controls.

>>44207397

yes

a faceless, screaming thingie that chases you

also only appears during run your fucking face off sequences

I cried manly tears for the memory golem.

>>44207397
There's only one kind of enemy but it mutates depending on your psyche.

>>44206405
>Godawful dialogue

SH2 and the rest had fuck terrible dialogue, but you nerds never complained about that.

>>44207464

Their appearance can still change as you play through the game, depending on your choices.

For instance, apparently if you stare at the posters of woman somewhere and answer questions in the test relating to sexual activity the monsters will look more feminine, breasts and shit.

I've heard someone say theirs are wearing armor, another said they looked like bananas.

>>44207450

It's not the shaking off I have trouble with. It's just for a few seconds after I do, I can't seem to turn in any direction, just run straight. Which is a problem if I'm not directly facing something blue.

>>44207658
That actually sounds pretty interesting. Better than the average slow moving Giger-esque penis monster that's supposed to be "scary".

>>44207450
>I guess I'm just hardcore enough to handle the Wii's controls
>wii controls being hardcore
Shit doesn't work half the time or it's too sensitive or not sensitive enough.

Cheryl, sweetie?!

>>44207658

I stare at the pictures and called that phone number in the school that offers drunk sex.

All of my monsters have boobs now, so I guess you're right...

The consensus for this game seem to be split down the middle.
I'll probably get it tomorrow, should be interesting.

The story was the biggest letdown. Even my original theory that Harry was a member of The Order who lost his memories in the car crash after bonding with Cheryl and trying to rescue her by taking her out of the town was more believable than this shit.

>>44207859

samefag here. Thinking about it, it's really kinda neat that the game is programmed to notice little stuff like that and act accordingly. Not a significant difference, but still cool.

Considering reviews have said it is the best silent hill in years, and it's been getting AAA 9+ reviews i'll actually try this one.

Also review sites do tend to hate on Survival Horror quite a bit, so yeah.

>>44207925

Indeed.

Am I the only one who yelled "HOLY SHIT" after coloring the house in the early sequence?

>>44208048
what happens when you color the house?

Huh? Radio?

What's going on with that radio?

>>44207658

My first time I too had bitches, then at some point they started dividing up into pieces and looking like they were put through a meat grinder and then they started getting these Sauron crown things. Second time they have these freaky crosses for heads then dissected again.

They always look that way after Lisa dies. I want to figure out how to save her myself but I just can't seem to do it bawwwwww Lisa why ;_; . Also, how do I not get fucking goth schoolgirl Dahlia, do I have to lie completely to Kaufmann and tell him I was a slutty jock in high school? What happens if you tell him you were a slut and a virgin? If no one's done it I'll try on playthrough three.

Don't listen to OP this is exactly the game I was expecting, he either got it without knowing anything about it beforehand or somehow deluded himself into thinking that it would be like SH 1-3. SH will never be like that again, get over it. Play it alone in the dark in an old empty house that is the way it was meant to be.

>>44207061

Spelunky. I think you'll get the joke

>>44208328

The scene afterwards, Harry walks over to a house. It's colored exactly the same as the picture you colored, including the people's shirts and pants, the car, mailbox, door, etc.

I hope thats vague enough to not spoil any story.

Has anyone played the PSP or PS2 versions? I wish to know the differences besides the obvious motion control ones.

>Godawful dialogue.

silent hill never had good dialogue, you just exposed yourself trolly mctrollerson

I think mine are wearing bondage gear.

>>44208372

Did anyone else get the feeling that in one of the endings Cheryl remembered her father as someone who bad-touched her? I began feeling very uncomfortable concerning their "father-daughter relationship" during certain segments.

>>44208372
What? Goth schoolgirl Dahlia is BEST Dahlia! Then again, I love goth and scene girls so it disturbed me somewhat when it turned out that Dahlia was my wife since I would love to have a girl like that.

>>44208372
Is that interview the one that decides Dahlia appearance? If so I said no to all questions except virgin. I answered truthfully.

>>44208372
SH1 and 3 are only games in the series that feel similar, though SM probably feels more like SH2.

>>44208606
The interview determines the appearance of all the characters except Harry, who changes as the game progresses.

>>44208048

I FFFFFFFFFFFF'd. Then I laughed some when I saw the pink car as Cybil took me away. I actually laughed a lot, some of Harry's lines are so fucking absurd ("I do love my ABCs" "Cammie...nice." . Then contrast that with the car crash or chasing the fucking shadow in the tunnel of love or I LOVE MY DADDY where I fucking shit myself.

>>44208328

One of Kaufmann's little psych exercises is for you to color in a picture of your idea of a happy family. He gives no indication at first, but immediately afterward you go to Harry's house (or is it?) in-game and everything you colored actually looks that way in the game down to characters' clothing, car color, drapes, roof, etc.

While Shattered Memories isn't perfect I think it's very well done nevertheless and the shot in the arm that the Silent Hill series needed. If gets a sequel (I'd love it if the devs didn't do a SH2 Remake but make their own original) I bet it'd be god tier.

Does the ending always turn out at least basically the same? If not, I bet I got the "Bad" ending.

>>44207152
mind = blown

>>44209009
No, actually.

Harry still talks to Cheryl at the therapists, but your choices affect how she reacts to Harry, whether or not she makes up with Dahlia, and the end video.

My first playthrough had Harry telling her not to blame herself for their divorce, second one had a homemade movie of Harry banging Michelle and Lisa.

So, third playthrough, I finally got to go in that bar across the street from that 52 place. Met some bar chick in it. She anyone special?

Also, there's a billboard with a number on it which you can call to try and get the UFO ending. Trying to photo them all now, let you know how it is later

Homecoming was so much better. at least it felt like a silent hill game and was actually scary, well at least the first 3/4.

Mind Blow at the end

the gameplay is good

but WTF, no combat, rly?

only like 3 or 5 run sequences in the entire game

the same fucking enemy

damn, this is still a beta i think

>>44208606
For me, that got Goth girl Dahlia.

When I thought it would be more like the original, I was weirded the fuck out when a cult leader emailed me her photos.

One kind of enemy?

Silent hill 2 had like almost 3 kinds of enemies!!!!

OP is a troll.

>>44209580
It's hard to have different kinds of enemies when all they can do is chase you and try to tackle you to the ground.

Sides, in my playthrough, I noticed TWO kinds of enemies. The first looked like your standard raw shock or whatever with a weird cross on it's face, the other kind was made entirely of these weird cube things.

Best silent hill since the third one.
Fuck off trolls.

>>44209621

I'm Huge fan of Silent Hill series, but sadly he's right

this is like playing a beta

>>44209580

now this is a troll, just look thos exclamation is like "hey guys look here"

I got Slut Dahlia.
Enemies were very... hard to describe. Limbs had a stripe-like pattern (looked a bit like those on candy canes except the white parts were just empty spaces) and had crown-looking heads with holes.
Ending:
Cheryl: "You've been with me for so long..."
Harry: "And I always will be."
Or Something along those lines.

Anybody get anything similar?

>>44209496
I don't know guy, in Homecoming I felt too powerful. If anything got in my way I'd just kick its ass. Nothing could stop me, I WAS Silent Hill.

The controls are not bad, just are triky,

if an enemy attack you front, you push

if enemy attack back, you pull

if enemy attack left, you "punch" left

if enemy attack Right, you "punch" right


and yeah, there's only one kind of enemy (actually, are 2 enemys, but is the same fucking model, diferent "sprite"

>>44209893


Yeah!, pure gore

>>44209688
And atleast the enemies TRY to kill you or something. Silent Hill enemies are too fucking slow.

OH GOD WHY I CAN'T KILL SHIT DAMN THIS GAME TOTALLY SUCK WHERE IS MY RAILGUN GODDAMN

YOU FUCKERS DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT SURVIVAL HORROR THAT ARE ALL ABOUT KILLING SHIT RAMBO LIKE RE5

FUCK THIS RUNNING GAME LOL

>>44209969
Why are you pointing fingers at the RE fanbase? It's the SH fags that are complaining about no combat.

>>44209969
YA BRO YOU SURE TOLD EM RIGHT

>>44209893

>in Homecoming I felt too powerful

Were you playing on easy or something? Even a dog could fuck your shit up if you let your guard down. I felt they did a very good job at making the enemies a legitimate threat, rather than in the other games where it was all "stand there and smack repeatedly with pipe while not moving".

>>44210040
I'm a Silent Hill fan and I absolutely adored the no combat. Then again, I liked the Clock Tower games too.

Also, for anyone who has beaten the game, have you read this as well?

Thread below contains massive spoilers by the way. It's a plot analysis and a damn good one at that.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=959196&topic=52560610

>>44209816
yea, fuck off troll.

>>44209857
My ending was like
Cheryl: Why did you have to die? It wasn't my fault. No, there has to be someone else!
Harry: Forget me.
This, combined with the fact that when girl-Cheryl called my phone she didn't warn me to stay away, just screamed GO AWAY, I think Cheryl wasn't too fond of her dad.

Does this mean I'm a bad person?

>>44209893
you must have been playing on easy or something. i played on normal then hard, and the first half of the game it gave me nothing. i was always near death cause it never gave me any health items, it gave me alot of enemies, and it fucked me up the so bad the first time i had to restart cause i had to go fight scarlet with no health. but once you figure out the knife is god tier, and how to fight it's not that bad. especially the end, talk about a cake walk.

>>44210040
They did a step toward a more "survival horror" experience that went to hell since games like RE5 and dead space appeared, games that were all old stylish easy scare and "kill everything that's moving".

Truth is, I'm sick and tired of killing shit in every game that I play. It's just plain boring and repetitive, I already did that WHY THE HECK should I want to do that again?
So, fuck the shfags, refags, fuck this fuking generation, fuk you all. This game is awesome and if you don't like it because the lack of fighting you're an underaged, casual idiot and you deserve to die in a fire.

>>44210425
>Truth is, I'm sick and tired of killing shit in every game that I play.
0/10

>>44210072
No, I played on normal or whatever. I think it was nice that the monsters were now, well, actual threats like you said. But what I didn't like was how capable the protagonist was, sure it fit his background, you could even say it was to compensate for the more aggressive monsters, either way I never felt scared or paranoid or nerve racked. The moment I knew something was near me I would brace myself for Rambo time.
Actually, never mind, it was awesome.

>>44210301

See, I felt like Harry was doing shit things my whole game, and I got the nice guy ending and Cheryl was all "Don't come Daddy it's not safe. I mean, I somehow killed Lisa by accidentally touching a blue pill before the two yellow pills (she asked for two right?), did all the nasty shit like call Tammy for sex or make nasty comments about Cammie, fuck goth loli Dahlia, act like a huge dick to Cybil and steal her gun, etc., but Cheryl Heather Mason still loved her daddy. Another thing, I fucked up the photos in the school thing the first time, kept dying, but this tiem around I have that picture of her in the shower. Fucking dirty, I wonder if it's going to affect anything. I have no idea if this game even has "good" or "bad" end or any concrete route to get them.

>>44210694
I got the good ending, (Well, I mean, I didn't make Harry a cheating douche or anything, didn't look at any girlie photos or nothin')

Lisa died (Is it even possible to save her? I gave her the right pills, and she didn't say anything about the number of them)

Fucked Dahlia (If you notice, she turns into a ice-statue of older-Dahlia afterwards)

Cybil was a bitch anyway (Seriously, Harry lost his daughter, does she help? no, it's OUT OF MY JURISDICTION SIR HAVE YOU BEEN DRINKING)

>>44210670

>>44211058

Eh, I liked it. You guys must not enjoy having fun or something.

So guys, on my third playthrough, I got to that bar across the street from the 52 diner. I met this bartender lady instead of Cybil, will she be important later, or is she just like the couple who lived in Harry's old house?

So /v/, I've never played a Silent Hill game. Which one should I start with?

I'm starting to get the feeling that /v/ hates EVERY game released in the past 5 years just because it was released recently.

>>44212476
Shattered Memories is alright, go with SH2 if you got a PS2.

SH2 is still the best in the series..

>>44212476
The original or the second game. You could play 3 first but it would be more enjoyable if you had played the original first but it's not necessary. I wouldn't recommend playing 4, Origins or Homecoming first though because they're generally not well-received by the fans. Not saying that they're bad games, they're just not games you should be getting you first impressions from.

>>44209857

I got that ending too.
I dunno about you guys, but I felt like this game had the best dialogue and voice acting, which just pissed me off more when a scene with another character would get interrupted by everything freezing and then running my ass off.

>>44212720

Ignore the faggots that say 4 is bad. They're nerds who wanted SO DEEP protagonist rehashes for the rest of time. 4 tries to portray Silent Hill from a different angle, and it succeeds more than it fails. Will you like it? Maybe, maybe not. I had fun with it though, and if you're not an elitist fucktard, you probably will, too

Just.. for the love of God, find a spoiler free walkthrough that will tell you where all the Swords of Obedience are so you don't have to have a fucking ghost chase you forever and ever

>>44213275
Cybil: "Harry, we should tal-'FROZEN, QUICK ROLL YOUR WHEELCHAIR LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER, WATCH OUT FOR STAIRS THEY ARE YOUR ONE WEAKNESS
Cybil:"I know you're not Harry Mason-"FROZEN, QUICK RUN AWAY HOPE YOU REMEMBER WHAT THE COLORS OF THE CARTOON BIRD ARE ASSHOLE
Dahlia:"I'm your wife-"FROZEN, QUICK RUN THROUGH A NEVERENDING SERIES OF CORRIDORS AND HALLWAYS, DON'T STOP TIL YOU REACH THE END

>>44213407
Guy you're quoting here, I love 4 but out of the entire series it's the least like Silent Hill in my opinion. Great game though. If he does decide to play 4 first he should keep what I said in mind and not expect the same from the other titles.

>>44213555

I was watching a livestream of someone playing Silent Hill: SM, and when it got to the wheelchair part I seriously started laughing my fucking ass off. It was goddamn hilarious

>>44213407
fuck those ghosts

>>44209857
I got same ending, some monsters, and same Dahlia as you.
I was kind of confused, so basically Cheryl finally got over that her father died, and that's it? Her relationship with her mother didn't seem strained at the end, either.

It kind of feels like a 'good' ending, but then why was it so sad?

>>44214399
Cause her dad is still dead, man.

And going by the good ending, he was a pretty cool dad too.

>>44214514
I suppose so. How many endings does this game have, do we know yet?
