Did I do good?

The sewer.

Because it's lazy copy and paste shit with irritating pointless barriers that force you to take the long way around making what should be a thirty second trip take 10 minutes.

I never got why people always say that was one of the scariest parts of the game. It was pretty boring.

>>380865226

That's my point, it's so fucking shit.

I'm playing the game having a good time and then comes one of the worst sewer levels I've ever seen and it's terrible purely because the developers were incredibly lazy. It's an enormous shit stain on an otherwise pretty damn good game.

seriously? what did circumcision have to do with the game?

>>380867407
nothing it's a meme you dip

Is SH4 worth playing?

>>380867407
An admin on the SH wiki went crazy and edited all the articles to explain how literally everything in SH has to do with circumcision, or something like that.

>>380867509
it's worth playing but you'll be both sad and angry at its shittyness compared to the earlier games

>>380867509
It's pretty good but expect one of those "bad on purpose" sort of experience in some parts of the game. Many people also say it's a pretty decent horror game but it's a departure from the styles of the previous games. The only way to know if you will like it is to try for yourself.

Wouldn't a worm be an *un*circumcised penis?

In Silent Hill 2, the whisper in the apartment was haunting. I remember a lot about the apartment area. The hotel at the end was also very memorable.

>>380867790
yeah. i can almost hear harry's monotone voice looking at it

And then you play SH4 and half the game is just bland copypasted empty hallways and closets with nothing in them

in Silent Hill 2, either this room or the room in the prison where you hear this deep voice whipser Ritual

I think what's infinitely scarier than the bloody environments in silent hill, is the question "Who's blood is it?"

Is it from normal people who got stuck in the otherworld? Is it from people who were born in and always lived in the otherworld? What happened to them? Who knows.

I don't care about the fog effect, it still looks fine, but the sound is genuinely worse in the PC version.

>>380864671
>PS2 is the RIGHT way to play
It is though

>>380868076
Low poly to me works so well with horror. Something about the graphics are just unsettling, it looks like actual mad men made it. I want more horror games to look like SH1.

Is the town abandoned or actually populated?

>>380869819
afaik depends on the game. 1/3 it's populated by some cult, 2 it's just limbo or some shit

>>380869621
This video is bogus though. The vanilla SH2 and Director's cut versions have different sounds for many things, like the gunshots for example. Yes, the PS2 version has better quality and echo, but the sounds are the same if you compare the PS2 director's cut vs PC director's cut.

>>380869679
but it's 2017 and you know if they do low poly that it's on purpose and marketed towards you and then it feels forced

>>380870093
But does a non-Director's Cut version exist for PC?

>>380869819
It's left a bit in the air. It's supposed to make you feel like it was populated not long ago but everyone is gone not long after you arrive there.

I actually really enjoyed it, and it scared me more than the others. It's not as good all round as the original trilogy, but give it a shot. It can't do any harm.

what was the purpose of the giant face on SH 4?

>>380869819
There must be people living there. When characters mention the town they don't mention it being out of the ordinary (aside from Douglas in SH3 but he was probably talking about all the drug trafficking in the town he discovered when he was investigating Heather).
Also, Harry in SH1 is taking Cheryl to Silent Hill for vacation and Cybil goes to Silent Hill because the local police station couldn't be contacted.

>>380872335
The normal world environments of Silent Hill are based on urban exploration places while the otherworld is based on abandoned Soviet bases hence iron and industrial design everywhere.

But both Toyama and Masahiro Ito have said that it's not clear if the town is abandoned or not, so even if the town looks abandoned it wasn't really intended to look abandoned.

Many apartments are locked with iron bars and Heather stays in a hotel in Silent Hill itself remember, so there are people living there.

>>380872465
That's also a good point, I never noticed that while playing.

>>380872465
1-3 take place in the 80s/90s so computers wouldn't be common anyway.

>>380872465
>no computers in silent hill either

Brookhaven uses typewriters in Sh2, while in Sh3 they have computers from the '90s, so between SH2 and Sh3, the town was at least active.

>>380873464
>80's
>Portishead posters

is there any upsides to playing the ps2 versions instead of PC? other than not having to deal with convoluted and excessive keybinds

>>380873705
What does that have to do with anything? If you have any evidence for any of the games taking place in the 80's, go ahead and post.
It's more likely that the games aren't set in any particular time and "drift" through periods on a per-room basis. Unless that's what you mean, in which case, my apologies.

>>380873839
Well in the intro for SH3 Heather is using a payphone instead of a cellphone.

>>380874114

Trivia: The Siren series is scarier than Silent Hill.

>>380874726
there's a lot of fans and turbines

>>380864360
It's because they were all modeled by hand rather than put together using modular pieces.

>>380874002
It's mostly conjecture but SH1 is very likely in the 80s. It's a 17 year gap between the events of SH1 and SH3 and we see Heather in a fairly modern mall but with payphones which puts it in the 90s or early 00s at the latest.

Nigger SH4 has the most trippy and fucked up set up and plot. Its the closest you can get to a Twilight Zone game.

Underrated and enjoyable experience, also very similar to SH1 atmosphere.

I was nine the first time I played through, I got frusterated at the piano and went downstairs for a drink.

>Stealth in horror games was a mistake
Jesus Christ, can you be anymore of a retard? The stealth gameplay is ideal for a horror game, it means that the player character can be a regular person or even a little child, and not a walking one man army, which even the SH series is guilty of, and the sightjacking mechanic makes it literally perfect.

The first game is probably the best, everything is constructed with such a care and attention to detail and it's so unforgiving, you got a map but it doesn't indicate your current position, no sir, you have to orient yourself through landmarks, just moving from point A to point B is a major acomplishment and will make you feel like a fucking hero.

In Silent Hill 2, Mary says that Silent Hill is their "special place", which means that they went there at some point, it was a normal city and they had a good time. James is in his late 20's, so it couldn't have been too long ago. You could argue that we never are told exactly when SH2 happens, and it could be decades before SH1, but even so the town already looks decrepit when James explores it.

I don't think we are supposed to know the true nature of the town. I like to think that the foggy, abandoned version you see in the games is a different place entirely from the real world, like a domain created by the influence of the old gods that some people end up wandering into.

>>380877175

Henry Townshend was in Silent Hill too and Henry is really young and SH4 takes place in modern times. Henry doesn't have a cellphone but it was probably for artistic reasons, not like cellphones could interfere in Silent Hill's feeling of isolation because the otherworld cuts off all signals anyway.

That's the stuff that always really spooked me, the very minor background implications that when you think about them, make no sense. It's just completely supernatural and fuck you, you don't get a reason or an answer. I mean, the blood everywhere, the rusting metal, the giant fans, it's a cold, harsh, filthy aesthetic meant to evoke hardness and suffering but the actual logistics of what the fuck any of it does is great, because none of it does anything. The morgue in SH2, those corpses are just corpses, they were never people, they're just remains, bags of meat and bones meant to exist as that and nothing more. It's so utterly fucking weird, I love all that stuff in Silent Hill. Yeah, it all looks very weird and creepy, but there's a totally inhuman weirdness just under it all.

In what way? Because the characters in SH don't come to a dead stop when you let go of up on the D-pad while running? If so, I suppose you're right, but it's because the RE games are more action than horror, and SH is more horror than action.

>>380876585
Perhaps I worded that poorly. I do think mind stealth as far as avoiding enemies and enemy aggro, such as older RE and SH games. But crouchwalking the entire game and shit like that? No, fuck that and fuck you if that's what you're into.

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" is a all-in-one fix, that works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!

In case you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.

SH2-4 do not support Xinput gamepads. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M.
You can now see some decent emulator settings for SH1 as well in the guide. If the image of the game does NOT fill your entire screen in fullscreen mode, check your plugin AND GPU control panel's image scaling settings!
Also give the new PGXP emulator a shot for a lot less wobbly PS1 graphics.

Actually the otherworld looks relatively functional because it was an actual functional place once.

The morgue in SH2 for example, implies that someone was in charge of dumping the bodies that come from those pipes into that hole that James jumps in. The prison was likely an execution site, so people would be executed and dumped into those pipes and then thrown into that hole. Silent Hill was probably filled with executions and sacrifices which is probably what made the otherworld such a screwed up place.

>>380881198
I can live with the headcanon that the otherworld is originally functional, but dislike your implication that real world events made it fucked up. I like it the other way around more, that the otherworld is a fundamentally fucked up place, but in essence much more abstract, and is seeping into the real world. Us real world people just shape it then into their personal hell. E.g. during the middle ages, the otherworld would have looked medieval rather than industrial, and before humans, it still existed, as some Lovecraftian dimension.

I feel like it gives the impression of functionality, but for instance, what do all those giant fans cool? Where do those pipes go, what do they feed or process or move? It's certainly influenced and innately connected to people and our world, but it isn't our world, it's an otherworld. I don't think it's quite Warhammer's warp which IS more or less shaped by human thought and emotion and action, Silent Hill's otherworld is unique, and as a horror game, it isn't supposed to make perfect sense. It looks like it does, but the logistics of all this colossal machinery and blood and rust and encrusted filth, the lingering corpses, unexplainable sounds, they don't quite add up. Under that very thin veneer of functionality is a hellish realm where nothing goes anywhere, filled with endless black voids and crawling with mindless abominations.

Do you think they have regulations on the cost of say, tampons in otherworld? Are smokes duty free you think? Bring some back wouldja?

>>380883870
Fuck man, guess I am. Sorry for interruption.

>>380884256
No, I am just a reasonable human being. Who the fuck would want a broken woman?

You realise by replying to it all you ruin it for yourself right? At least those fags post dirty jokes and freckled tits ocasionally, you literally derail your own favorite thread with autistic rage

>>380884337
That would make a rad game anon.
>>380884454
All is forgiven
For the record, Alien is one of my favourite movies

She's young, she looks vulnerable, shows off a little skin, you get to play as her and look at her for the whole game, there's your answer.

Are you implying that's a bad thing?

No shit, the game wouldn't make any sense if it starred a man.

Imagine if that showed up in the apartment segments.

Silent Hill 4 is a game I have no guts to play through. I was fine with 2, 3, but 1 gives me some spooks. 4 is just too much man.

>>380885091
Eww.

I can never think of Silent Hill without hearing the Dog Ending theme in my head.
Still love the series though

>>380885325
I was the same, SH4 seems to be 2spooky for me and I can't figure out why. I think it's because of the hub system. I know it has safe rooms in the individual areas like the other ones, but the whole hub focus makes it seem like you are going into madness on purpose rather than just trying to arrive at a goal/flee like in SH2/SH3, which is scarier

the blooper reel is great. You can tell everyone was having fun.

I love that there are optional areas, easy to miss, that can make a big difference in the ending. I only recently found out that you can explore the police station in the Otherworld, for one (though that only has extra ammo).

>>380876275
the way he was so nonchalant about everything around him was great though. Here he is in a nightmare world filled with dinos and doggos and he is like

While I certainly enjoyed the heck out of SH3, what really bugged me when I played it is how there's no real chance to explore any larger "hub" area until what feels like 2/3 into the game.

It was really stretching my belief and patience thinking "Ok, after the subway the game will open up... Ok, I guess after the shopping district it will open up... the abandoned building?"

It was weird, because it felt really boxed in, especially after SH1 let you run around the town, and SH2, to a much lesser extent, did the same.

I admit I was really disappointed that the only part of Silent Hill you got to see was the SH2 part of town on the south part of the lake. I was really looking forward to Alchemillia, the school, etc. I guess it was a cost-saving decision but I was a little sad about it.

>>380887497
well i guess it wasn't so much about individual free adult men than the teenager

>>380887497
You should have informed yourself better, I'm afraid you ruined the game for yourself with these expectations. Horror games are almost never open world. It wouldn't make much sense anyway, since you are trying to get from A to B fast with all the horror monsters around you.

>>380885325
>>380886096
I'll be honest the ghosts scared the hell out of me, I even felt unease for a while after stopping playing the game.

>>380870239
>>380870770
What's better is when you realize Toluca Prison doesn't exist. It was demolished and the Historical Society was built on top. James goes Full Batshit for a while and hallucinates the entire thing.

He probably just wandered around the lobby room for 2 hours gibbering random shit until he snapped out of it and walked outside.

Which actually makes me question, where the hell are all the people? I've played 1 and 2 only but SH is supposed to be a town with like 30 thousand-odd people. I understand there's moments of delusion like the Toluca Prison bit but are normal people still living there watching TV and having dinner in their homes, what?

>>380888146
he didn't mean open world

>>380888146
His expectations were reasonable coming from the first two games.

>>380887497
Imo there was some magic in linear nature of the game. It really felt like some hellish trip from start to end which Heather had to overcome and not just some adventure in town of Silent Hill.

I am mad as fuck that Silent Hills was cancelled

I'm posting this in every SH thread I see

>>380888146
what do you mean "ruined" the game? My expectations were set by playing SH1 and Sh2, going into 3. Which I even said I enjoyed. What disappointed me was being shuttled to one area to the next and not seeing the part of Silent Hill that was relevant to Heather, outside of Lakeside Amusement Park - and the church I guess?

My favorite horror games have a bit of openness about them - like SH1 and RE1. It makes them more fun to replay.

>>380888419
I guess. It makes the flow feel really different. I was honestly getting a bit fatigued by the time you finally reach the shitty apartment building you call home, because it never felt like you had breathing room for a huge chunk of the game. It was as if there was no down-time between areas.

While SH4 did this too, it didn't bother all that much, because it was sooooooo radically different in its setup that it didn't feel as jarring, if that makes sense. I could sorta compartmentalize the experience in a way that I didn't for SH3. That doesn't make SH4 the better game (far from it, lol), but it felt a little more natural tackling one area at a time.

>>380888376
>>380888769
Alright, I misinterpreted what he/you meant. The phrase "open up" triggered me I guess. Open-ish areas like SH2 had (haven't played SH1) were lacking in SH3, yes.

I feel you anon. To think what could have been. It could have made Silent Hill a proper blockbuster title again as opposed to what it currently is, a series with the trajectory of something like A Nightmare on Elm Street... endless poor to average sequels. Resident Evil 7 did it right, but I expected Kojima to give the whole game an overhaul with free reign. The PT demo was terrifying.

>>380888451
Good, Kojimbo is a hack. Let SH rest.

>>380889115
Id prefer it to be 3rd person, just with superb fox engine graphics and gameplay

>>380889319
I would have been for this too yeah. I don't see any way they wouldn't have considering they would have Norman Reedus. It would have been a waste.

Then again Kojima hired Kiefer Sutherland as Venom Snake and all he did was grunt.

It's hard to say what happened to the people. Some say SH is actually abandoned because of economical reasons (tourist industry decline, the cult aggressively pushing out people not part of their religion) while others say it's just temporal displacement while the dark forces of Silent Hill are at work.

The labyrinth in 2 felt very genuinely creepy and was filled with tension. I think the absolute scariest part of the real SH games was the fight at the end of the amusement park in 3. For some reason that unsettled me like nothing else.

>>380889974
why did you reply to yourself?

>>380889831
So essentially it could be that the games take place in a "pocket dimension" that inhabit the same space but not at the same time? So while James is faffing about talking to himself while in the fetal position at the historical Society lobby in his "dimension", it's a regular day with people in there doing paperwork and drinking coffee in the real world?

>>380888451
Almost happy about it. Jump scares are not fucking SH. They should do a new franchise in the vein of PT

>>380889037
You should play SH1! I don't know how much of an impact it will have once you've played the more refined entries, but it was quite the experience for me 1.5 years ago when I decided to play through the 4 games in sequence. It is really good at giving you the feeling of being in a twisted nightmare: playing blind, nothing makes sense, and things happen without warning. It feels as if the game changes the rules on you as you play, making it feel very unsettling.

The open map also adds to some of the scare-factor: outside of having areas that are missable (but potentially important, equipment-wise or story-wise), the fact of running through huge stretches of open street, without knowing what's out in the fog, is its own type of scariness.

>>380889874
That was the hardest boss in the game, for me. The environment was really freaky-looking, but little miss dopple ganger was pretty good at riddling my sorry ass with dakka.

Speaking of bosses
>final boss in SH3
>use up all of my shotgun and pistol ammo because the game is so damn stingy with bullets
>have to resort to using the gigantic fucking spike-ball-on-a-stick to give righteous beatings to an evil abomination

felt damn good.
