Silent Hill Heaven

Okay, cool. I've engaged in quite a bit of gunplay but I've mixed it up in hand to hand to with the flashing red health screens to prove it. And I'm on my second playthrough. Wish me luck!

Robbie freaked me out in SH:3 but I agree with the above, definitely an homage now. Best for brief cameos.

Wait, you seriously have to kill EVERYTHING in MELEE? I've killed a lot but it definitely wasn't everything, and I mostly used guns. Did I seriously just waste that much time?

^Seconded!

You guys are all missing my point. It's not about just having more critters to fight, it's about creating uncertainty. If I didn't explain that well enough in earlier posts then I apologize. Also, ammunition levels are something of a moot point when you consider the slew of melee weapons that are pr...

Point taken. Of course there needs to be some equilibrium between terror and reprieve to prevent over-exposure. Of course there should be reprieves in horror, why do you think I want more breasts? I'm not saying that there should be more monsters or that they should be at your throat constantly, but...

I'm in the extra new game and I found the code for the "Don't Touch" shirt in the magazine in the locker room. I put entered it in soon afterwards, it informed me that I entered it successfully, and now the shirt is nowhere to be found. Do I have to start a new game to equip it?

After playing a bunch of the games, I've found a few long-standing habits of the developers' that they need to amend to make it scarier. 1) No more radio. Yes, this is heresy. But let's be honest with ourselves, how scary is it when a you know exactly when a monster is in a room with you? The Ambush...

I just got to the Amusement Park on my second playthrough. I've slaughtered nearly every living(?) thing I could find in each level save for a few Split-Heads and Pendulums, and I've taken an obscene amount of damage in the process. I'm doing great so far but I'm running very low on ammo and health ...

Playing SH1 on my slimline PS2 for the first time tonight, but when I try to save at a notepad I get a message telling me that there's no memory card inserted. And this is happening while a memory card is very obviously and firmly inserted into the machine! Are there separate cards for ps1 and ps2, ...

I beat the game last week and I too, will vouch to any others who may have their doubts that Silent Hill 4 is, indeed worth it. By the end, I thought it was amazing. I got the worst possible ending too (21 Sacraments). Wow.

Yeah, I'm definitely painting it. I want to wait till I get an airbrush so I can blend it better. In the meantime, here are a few more work-in-progress pics of another guy you may recognize from SH2. This is another case of me using the whole "monsters look different to different people" c...

If you end up on the tracks, there or anywhere else in that level, you need to IMMEDIATELY get up against the platform (while facing it of course) and mash on the X button till you climb up. You need to do this quick since the trains come on really fast. Ignore any and all monsters that are down the...

At long last, I made one! This was a good project since it taught me some good basic concepts of miniature sculpting that I can build off of later. The body is from a GW Lord of the Rings Troll, the arms and head are Green Stuff sculpted over a brass armature. The female figure on its back is a Reap...

The reason I'm so against the idea of the monsters being humans is that it is disturbing. Disturbingly lame. If that theory were true, it would be like if Heather or James woke up in their beds at the end of the game and said, "It was all just a dream!" I know that isn't very deep but it's...

But SH3 has a Sub Machine Gun!! You can't feel horror when you have a Sub Machine Gun!!! Sure you can! If the SMG in question has practically no ammo and really isn't that great anyway then it's still horrifying. In fact, the fuzzy feeling of getting what you think will be a powerful gun and the le...

Maybe Claudia and Vincent are seeing the exact same thing as Heather, but since they're both batshit crazy, they just interpret it differently.

Never. Look. Up. Spoilers. I did before I played it and it takes away the point of it being mysterious. Ruined it a little. Great, now the next time I play I'll have to fight monsters, ghosts, the demons of my own mind, AND an overwhelming urge to look up. Thanks :). Also, if SH4 doesn't have a &qu...

So I played SH4 for the first time on Saturday. I didn't get very far, only into the subway, but I found myself both intrigued and annoyed at the game. At this early stage, this game's take on the dog-monsters is lame (they stand there and stare at you for five minutes before attacking) and the cont...

My initial viewing leads me to believe that this movie will be pretty freakin sweet. I'm not that into him using music from the game though; there's a world of good stuff he could've used for the soundtrack.
