Silent Hill: Origins wasn't so great.

Post by **Oddish** » 28 Feb 2009

It's funny, lots or people work in Silent Hill, but no one plays sports. There were no baseball bats, golf clubs, or hockey sticks anywhere. A few pool cues, but not much else. And you couldn't pick up any chairs, either.

i have yet to play origins but fro what ive seen of it like trailrs and part of walkthroughs and stuff and read about it seemed pretty siple, however i dont want to read what its fully about as i want to complete it myself but i cant imagine it being better then SH4, can this be true?

Post by **VIVIsect** » 02 Mar 2009

ANYTHING is better than SH4. I'd take Origins over The Room any day.

Post by **AuraTwilight** » 03 Mar 2009

I disagree with sir Vivi. Atleast SH4 was consistent with canon and was produced by Team Silent.

Oh, and it was fun.

I'm liking SH Origins, i'm almost at the end of the

but Travis is a bitch, I mean he's nice and he's strong when it comes to fights and his personality...but when it comes to stamina and health... OMFG! yesterday i was playing i was half dead and I got an ampoule, used it... 3 minutes later 2 Lying figures attacked me and guess what?! Low health again, like 1 attack from any monster and i'm dead, i did a lot of search to find the drinks but nothing... Again, guess what? those unseen guys killed me and I was with the fuckin' light off! I died and then i went to continue... Hell, have to start all over again since the part where

Any tips on how to stay alive? His health goes down even if he run... God...

try not to kill monsters, especialy some other monsters that you will encouner later on your gameplay

Choose your weapons wisely...

use the IV stands, hammers, rubber poles, etc with the straightjackets and nurses... Use the katanas and wrenches with the ariels, throw TVs, weights and crystal bottles to the carrions (Just one hit allows you to stomp and finish them), use the guns with the Twobacks and just avoid the Calibans...

You know, James could just use his hands (Or any of the lot of items that he is holding in his pants at the time) for bend the wires at the labyrint but NOOO!! He had to go to get the pliers... Also,

Well, Travis has a bunch of sledge hammers and tire irons, too. And yet he never thinks about using them to pry open or bash through various locked doors. Or using a handy screwdriver to jimmy the prop control board...

Or jumping into that one car with the engine running (I think that was in Origins) and running over all the monsters and getting to his destinations more quickly.

I don't remember any running cars in 0rigins, are you sure its not 2 you are thinking of? Where you get the pipe? The only explanation I can think of outside of just trying to make things less easy for the gamer, is perhaps Travis is too afraid/confused or something to pry open doors or whatnot.. Though he doesn't really act like it....

The only running car in SH0 was the one after the Sanitarium that you grab the Lumber Yard Key from.

Oh, thank you! I completely forgot about that.

Sure =)

In my opinion, Silent Hill Origins is a decent game that could have been slightly better. The Butcher being in the game seems like fan service for the Pyramid Head fans to me (Pyramid Head being in Homecoming is definitely fan service). The main thing that makes me disappointed in Origins is the shortness. I don't know if it's just me or not, but on my first play through I completed the game in about two and a half hours.

That's one of the only negatives in the game (for me, anyway) and the accolades feature more than makes up for it. I had fun getting the costumes and extra weapons for Travis, it reminded me of how much fun it was unlocking Heather's outfits and weapons in SH3. Besides, Origins definitely feels more Silent Hill-like than SH4 and it was a decent game that brought back some of the characters from the original SH.

Remember the alternate flashlights... Is really cool to fight a bizarre creature with a giant smiling face on it!!

Post by **AuraTwilight** » 06 Mar 2009

Yea, the bonus shit in 0rigins was pretty awesome, right up there with Princess Heart.

Post by **Oddish** » 06 Mar 2009

Again, my favorite thing was the weapons selection. The only things it could have still used were a grenade launcher and a flamethrower. Nothin' like a freshly barbecued carrion...

Post by **AnastasisXD** » 07 Mar 2009

a lawn mower would be great to slaughter some twobacks and straightjackets. like t the end of the movie Braindead, if u have seen it, u get what i mean

origins madee me happy I missed the streets of silent hill and the story lines but after playing origins I thougt silent hill wasn't over the only difference is the passage to the other world you use a mirror but homecoming doesent have that

Post by **EileenGalvin** » 07 Mar 2009

I liked Origins, but yeah, it could have been better. I expected more new material, not the Alessa story warmed up AGAIN.
I was disappointed that we didn't find out more about Travis and what was going on with him.

The weapon selection was good, but it got REALLY ridiculous after carrying several TVs, filing cabinets, tool boxes, alcohol bottles etc, all AT ONCE.
That was even worse than James super elastic pants in which he carried all his items around.

Post by **Oddish** » 07 Mar 2009

I think I once calculated that Travis could, theoretically, wind up carrying almost 600 pounds of stuff around with him. A little ridiculous, needless to say.

Also odd was that if James was just carrying the great knife, he could traipse along at normal speed. But if he actually equips it, it slows him down. I mean, HUH?
