Retard = late or slow. It's what the word means. Unless you knew that and your post was a joke.
The whole drill thing, and the "Hostel" stuff in the Lair, I've come to the decision that I don't mind it, but I would have if the whole game had been like it. Truth be told it's a small section in a game which otherwise, for the most part, keeps with the traditional atmosphere and subtlety of the series, and it's not like Silent Hill never had gore or violence, just never quite as visceral before.

What part are you referring to at the beginning? I can't think of anything gruesome at the beginning. Coincidentally, I am playing SH4 for the first time right now. I am in the forest world. Not so sure about SH4.MAvulture wrote:That hostel bit right at the start almost made me turn off the game (I wasnt even sure about buying it after the dissapointment of SH4).
Glad I didnt though.
The drill part was unexpected, but in a good way.

Thats because it's an american version. Not to diss Americans (since I am one), but horror nowdays is all gore and grossness instead of real terror: i.e. Hostel, Saw...SHACKled89451 wrote:Am I the only one who hated that whole part?
Torture scenes just don't do it for me....
The other SH games didn't have to resort to such cheap gore scenes to scare us did they?
I hated this part of the game, it was way too much like those kinds of horror.

The part right at the start where he's getting wheeled down the hall, seeing the kids getting killed in the rooms. The first thing I thought of was the scene in hostel, where he's getting wheeled down the hall looking into the rooms at everyone getting tortured.ryno379 wrote:What part are you referring to at the beginning?

...Except that scene is lifted directly from Jacob's Ladder, one of the biggest inspirations for the original games. If anything it showed that the creators DID understand Silent Hill.MAvulture wrote:The part right at the start where he's getting wheeled down the hall, seeing the kids getting killed in the rooms.

Depends on how you look at it. Can be a homage instead of a ripoff, I'm pretty sure that's what was intended. I mean what about in SH3 when you have to get on the train tracks and stuff? It's pretty much identical, and the shot of the wheelchair from Session 9.

Really, there's very little in this world that's as bad as people make it out to be. Homecoming is a perfectly acceptable, well-constructed addition to the series. It may be far from my favorite, but I'm not at all unhappy to have played it.supperhater wrote:I just got the game yesterday, I'm liking it more than I expected to. It's not as "actiony" and "resident evilly" as i expected it to be, which is a good thing.
