Re: Got Downpour? Want to share impressions? Post them here!

I have finished the game and this is one of my favourite Silent Hill games. The atmosphere and the free-roaming (with side quests) were my favourite parts. It's a step in the right direction in my opinion. I was so "high" from my experience that I went and bought the HD collection, even if...

Re: Got Downpour? Want to share impressions? Post them here!

Another great night of exploration. I have not touched the main story line for four hours now. I am just doing sidequests and getting to "know" the town better. I am not using any guide at all but now, I need some help: I can't find the fishing rod. I figured it would be in the dock area a...

Re: Got Downpour? Want to share impressions? Post them here!

Well, I just can't put this game down. After finishing some of the main story quests, I decided to explore the town. I found myself being nervous while roaming the empty streets, I found buildings and in them, resolved creepy side-quests, I unlocked part of the subway system, I found a ladder-hook a...

Re: Bad save system.

Well, I finally got used to it. If I want a quick save, I enter a building and leave it right away. Kind of stupid, but it works.

Just a quick note on the music. I think it is excellent. Again, I have been blown away by the last location I visited and the music helped make it even better. The more I play, the more I love it.

I totally agree with you.

Re: Got Downpour? Want to share impressions? Post them here!

Well, I have played much more since yesterday. This game is freaking awesome. Even my wife, who is not interested at all in these kind of games, cannot stop watching me play. I have progressed in Silent Hill and I am in the orphenage right now. I have just finished the "play" section in th...

Re: Bad save system.

Well, I think the system is flawed. I don't want to worry about "getting" to a major area while I am playing. It breaks the flow of the game.

Bad save system.

Maybe I don't understand it. I have a notification of saving each 10 or 30 seconds. But, when I exit the game, I always end up way back from where I was when I quit. How does this work? I have just finished the library. My last save was when I left some house I visited. Let's say it was around 7h30 ...

Re: Got Downpour? Want to share impressions? Post them here!

So far, I am really loving it. The atmosphere is really awesome and I just loved the mines. I have just set foot in Silent Hill. I am taking my time in exploring everything. It's great! I am tensed almost all the time. I think they did a good job with the graphics. Being a long time fan of the franc...
