Re: Silent Hill in First Person

That's not why Downpour wasn't effective, though. Downpour just wasn't that great of a horror game. It has too many flaws dragging it down, even to a larger extent than Silent Hill 4. I think the biggest flaw was that it threw things at me that weren't very different from how they've always been. Y...

Re: Silent Hill in First Person

I personally think it's more important for the game to be good and scary, than it is to adhere to familiar Silent Hill tropes. There appear to be many who seem to think that the tropes are necessary for the game to be good or scary, and a few who think that the tropes are even more important than th...

Re: Kojima: "I want gamers to shit their pants"

I don't think just anything happening that you weren't expecting should count. It's that element of something loud and suddenly in your face that's a jump scare. Like it being really silent and suddenly there's a creepy ghost lady face grabbing you. It's that change from quiet and calm to suddenly ...

We've made pros and cons threads, as we have for past games. They're stickied for everyone's convenience.

Re: New Silent Hill? Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro pro

If combat has to stay, I would like for the 'dozens of cookie cutter monsters' idea to not stay with it. Let's have a small number of monsters that involve some serious thought and tactics to deal with, small enough perhaps so that you don't ever see the same monster more than once, or a few times t...

Re: Again, why are people hyping this nonsense?

Can we close this in order to stop feeding the troll? I dunno, I think it's a legitimate topic. In all the other threads, there are side-discussions about the other games in the series and being disappointed in the past, so maybe it has its place. Not in the way the OP brought it up, though. Having...

Re: Discussion: 204863

Anything more we can gather from this dialogue? http://i.imgur.com/VYGfb1i.jpg Again, sounds like something that can fit Alessa's story. Also this bit is intriguing... Dad was such a drag. Everyday he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of games... Yeah, he wa...

Re: Kojima: "I want gamers to shit their pants"

I wouldn't call the crying in the bathroom sounds or glass breaking jump scares... The first air screamer and locker cat? Sure. Definitely. But really, there weren't that many in any of the games. They're all examples of sudden, scary noises designed to make you jump. That's literally all they're t...

Re: Kojima: "I want gamers to shit their pants"

The original game had jump scares all over the place. The crying in the school bathroom, the sounds of shit breaking in the hospital, even the very first time you fight the Air Screamers.

Re: New Silent Hill? Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro pro

I don't care who made it or who's in it, either. I can't play the demo because I don't have a PS4, but I've watched it and it's simply outstanding, total mind fuck stuff. I haven't ever seen a demo that made me want a game badly enough to buy a console, but I paid $300 for a PS2 so I could get Silen...

Re: Adopting Laura

So, I've searched through all the threads dealing with Laura and the Leave ending and I can't seem to find anything about how James would adopt her after the Leave ending. It's been mentioned before, but could he even legally adopt her? I doubt it would be done through legal channels. Wouldn't the ...

Re: Iglesia de San Pedro, Avila, Spain — Chapel on the Lake

Probably almost all of the less-notable ones, too. I know for a fact that the sawhorses around town are cribbed from Grass Valley, CA Public Works and the dumpsters still have visible Waste Management logos on them.

Definitely a cool find with the chapel btw.

I just replace lines for Ned Stark and Jon Snow in my head when I watch it.
