Eileen Nominated for Least Popular Character in Video Games

^Waffles. Waffles would be a legitimate topic.
Well, buttercakes in the case of Silent Hill.

*Is sorry for being a Captain Obvious*

[Droo]

Let's keep this civil people. Thumping our chests and playing "mine is bigger" accomplishes nothing.

I like this as a discussion of the merits or lack thereof of the character. If you find yourself starting to type aggressively or frivolously, I politely suggest you put your finger in between your lips, wiggle it up and down, and go "BWEEDLEBWEEDLEBWEEDLE" until the urge passes.

[SilentWren]

^But I'm so good at thumping my chest to assert my dominance. <3
(On a serious note, that's a virtual prerequisite in teh Ozarkies. Especially if you're a dude. We even have to worry about the rich fuckers because most of them have concealed carry. Sucks, lol.)

Idk, I just thought Eileen didn't have much of a personality. What did we really learn about her during the gameplay? She likes parties, met Walter once, and knew Henry and Joseph. (I still think she's better than Ashley, though bitch'll whip that chain around like a daintier Xena)
From a logistic standpoint, she was better than Maria too. Maria had to go and throw her gun away.
I guess with the questions she asked herself during the beginning of 'Born From a Wish,' it was a little symbolic, though?

[Harrys_Girl]

She was only slightly worse than Maria because at least Maria could keep up w/ James. Then again, at least Eileen could brandish a weapon... guess they are kinda equal on the Useful Vs. Useless scale. Maria was hotter though, age-spotted chest at all.

[Patman]

Then again, at least Eileen could brandish a weapon...

Who cares ? In the end you loose even more time if you give her a weapon :
-she' ll stop at every single bat to kill it rather than fleeing .
-she' ll get hurt in the process (meaning she' ll be even slower towards the end of the game).

Maria is definitely less useless. And, as you said, she' s pretty.
Eileen is pretty too, especially with her nurse outfit, but if she gets hurt too much she' s just unbearable to watch. Can you picture a bloody ass ? I can now, thanks to her ! ^^

[Harrys_Girl]

I always give her the horse crop until I come across the chain, then make her WORK IT! I tend to hang back and let her take everything down, then it is stomping time!!!!.

I honestly have never had a problem w/ her being possessed. Everyone seems to think it is a horrible thing and that it ruins the game, but I always get the best ending and experienced no problems w/ her, even when her skin is black and crawling because I appoint her body guard--other than her annoying child-talk statements. Seriously, I heal her w/ the candle, she takes off and I always kill the

PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:

Walter God and Walter after like 4 of her steps.

She's never died on any of the games but my first or when I purposefully waited for her to die before completing the game.

And the sexy nurse outfit is god-awful. So over-the-top skanky that any inherent sex appeal she had was lost because of it. If they had stuck her in a low-cut white uniform dress then some stilettos and maybe given her a over-sized syringe... Now THAT would've been sexy.

[AuraTwilight]

Maria is better because you only have to put up with her for like an hour.

[KiramidHead]

I prefer Maria largely because she's never gotten hit during the main escort segments (discounting PH times) when I play. Also, she doesn't whine at you when you get too far ahead, she just runs and catches up.

[Droo]

Let's just all agree Eileen is better as a partner and as a character than Elle.

[SPRINGS02]

Maria was hotter though, age-spotted chest at all.

Eh, the age spotted chest didn't help, but the main thing was her creepy eyes. Eileen just looked good in general, while maria had this scary look in her eyes like "i might kill you when you turn around"

[Harrys_Girl]

^Which is hot, if you're into that sort of thing... which I am. Just sayin'.

[Xev]

Maria would totally kick Eileen's ass.

It would have been better for her character to have more... character. Other than being the neighbor and meeting Walter once she really doesnt have as forceful of a presence as I would have liked. I guess that is her personality itself, being the good person. No dark side or past to dig into further.

It is just aggravating how she slows you down and figuring how to get her from a to b in subway world is a situation that puts me off restarting the game. I enjoy SH4 very much but this is one thing I would change.

[KiramidHead]

Wow, am I the only person who had zero problems with Elle as an escort? She did a pretty good job of staying out of danger, and didn't high pitch scream whenever an enemy showed up.

[Patman]

Nope, I didn' t mind her either. You barely even notice that she' s there, It would be just the same if she wasn' t.

[AuraTwilight]

Which is exactly the problem. She contributes absolutely nothing to the game.

[Doctor Eggnog]

When I played Homecoming, Elle actually got stuck and I had to restart the game. Therefore, I think I like her even less than Eileen because that at least never happened with her (then again I did just kinda ditch Eileen everywhere before it was time to exit the level)

[SHF]

Nope, I didn' t mind her either. You barely even notice that she' s there, It would be just the same if she wasn' t.

Except for when your'e trying to achieve certain endings were she cannot be allowed to get hurt.
Then its a different story.

[paladin181]

Really? She never got hurt in my game unless I intentionally hauled off and smacked her around with the Axe. And even then, she can take a LOT of punishment. I think I got off 3 charged shots with the axe before she died. Needlers only take one, maybe two.

Needlers are in homecoming. did you mean hummers

[paladin181]

No, I meant needlers. I thought we were still talking about Elle because the message you quoted and responded to was about her. That's all.
