What was it like playing Silent Hill for the first time I never

Pure, unadulterated ludo the likes of which this pile of dogshit medium has yet to see since.

It was the best gaming experience of my life. I don't think I've ever been more engrossed in the medium than my first playthrough.

I have an eternal tenderness for the series.

Resident evil is motherfucking joke and silent hill is a superior brand in every way

>>386807896
how

>>386806858
oh, OP, you made me remember how i bought 2 cd edition at the release and waited for it after the announce. it was insane, terrifying

>>386806956
Fpbp

>>386806858
underwhelming since I had just beaten Resident Evil 2

>>386809970
lol resident evil is shit compared to silent hill especially when you put back to back the first 3 games. Silent hill 2 makes resident evil 2 look like a cartoon

played the first 3 for the first time a few years ago and they were some of the best video games I've ever played, don't think I've ever played another game that could make me feel as much as they did

they are pure kino and mary's letter is probably best acted thing video games have ever produced

>>386806858
amazing. tense as fuck, jittery, wanting to explore as much as I could, but scared that I would run into more monsters.

Why you didn't play 4?
First 4 silent hill games are the peak of gaming feels

k bro

>>386810572
I could not agree more about Mary's letter. It was a total insult to redub the game for the HD version.

Name one thing that RE does better

>>386811240
level design

Scary as all he'll.

>>386811750
it's scary for about 20 minutes. Then you realize the monsters pose no real threat and the game gives you plenty of warning if something threatening is close by,

Also, monsters aren't real, so anybody scared by them is weak minded

>horror games that aren't scary
why do people fellate this series so much? is it just nostalgia?

Solid list. I'd recommend all of those. Cool to see you're interested in killer7.

>no silent hill 4
why does everyone skip 4

>>386806858

Silent Hill 1 - Scared the hell out of me. I was 15.
Silent Hill 2 - Absolutely blew me away visually. It was the first game to ever have shadows. The world looked so detailed.
Silent Hill 3 - More of the same but more polished.
