I don't know... This might still be the "stupidest" thing in any SH game for me.
At least, in regards to enemies.

THE stupidest enemy in ANY Silent Hill game is the final boss in 0rigins. It's like they just grabbed a demon from Soul Reaver 2 and dropped it into Silent Hill.

I still think the squeaking ghost babies from SH1 were pretty stupid, but that's just me.

Stupidest Silent Hill enemies are the creatures from Shattered Memories... They can't even kill you... The SH4 burping patients are silly but deadly if you low your guard... The Larval Stalkers from SH1 aren't enemies

The Rawshocks do kill you, they smother you to death. SM is just the type of game where there's no game over screen and you're just placed back at the nearest checkpoint.

Rawshocks don't kill you... They don't even attack you!!! They just... hug you and climb over you like drunk friends use to do...

Well, they can't kill you because....um...well if you've beaten the game then you know why.

You're all wrong. The stupidest enemy in all of Silent Hill is the Smog, AKA "We're way too fucking uncreative to not rip the shit off of SH2."

You're reaction is perfectly understandable. It is a pretty stupid looking whatever-it-is. Apparently it's on old trailer though, so there might be hope yet.


That's not the most ridiculous thing - it's the funniest. I want that as my ring tone. ^_^ *burp, burp, burp*

I don't know, I think taking a Closer and shoving a ballerina into its back takes the cake when it comes to stupid and uncreative.

Not the pipe-wielding cultists? At least the Smogs didn't completely break the atmosphere. The Cultist enemies are probably the lowest point in the series in my opinion.

Oh right. I forgot about the stupid ass cultists.

It must have been a....SHATTERED MEMORY.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Eh i agree with Typographenia, the Burping nurses (or whatever they were) are the worst for me.

^but that's only a sound effect, if they didn't burp they wouldn't be anywhere near the worst at least design-wise. Like, I dunno, the boss from in 0rigins. It pissed me off because they had a few decent monster designs in that game, like the Mom and Dad bosses for example.

^ OH ok, i kinda skimmed. well design wise, i always kinda hated those monkey monsters in SH4. they just looked stupid and out of place to me.

But they do burp, and that's part of their design. Regardless of how scary they might have been before that, they're rendered completely comedic from the first time you hear that. It's impossible for me to ever take those enemies serious now, and I look forward to seeing them, rather than dread their mangled, tall physiques.

Even better when they fall down the stairs and you're like "mother of God".

so when team silent reuses a monster it is okay buy when a new developer uses a similar design it is uncreative and unoriginal.

also the smog is different enough that i think it is its own thing just because it has no arms doesn't make it the lying figure

Who the fuck made that argument.

I will say though, how the fuck is the Smog, who at least has some symbolism going on with it and isn't the cheesiest shit ever worse than a giant face going ENJOY THE RIDE MURPHY? Really, that kills the mood less than the smog which is at least kind creepy? I don't buy it. Maybe the burping patient things but the smog is nowhere near on that level of stupid.

i was referring to aura and his statement about smog
