03.19.12 | @Spirit: If you loved the movie, play the first four games. They're amazing.
I still have SH 2 for the original xbox. Oh and my profile picture's pyramid head m/ |
ohfoxxxycole
03.19.12 | silent hill 2 scared me more than anything ever |
AtomicShane
03.19.12 | pyramid head ftw |
dammets
03.19.12 | why hd collection no have 1 and 4? Da fuck |
Shuyin
03.19.12 | SH2 is definitely on my top 3 ps2 games
the first one is also a great game |
PayneTiger777
03.19.12 | Downpour got terrible reviews. I still haven't finished 2 on the PS2. I've always heard that 3 was the freakiest of the series. The music in the Silent Hill games are always really good. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.19.12 | 4 was decent, never played 1 |
KILL
03.19.12 | the first is easily the best and scariest, oh and the movie sucked |
Shuyin
03.19.12 | 1 is a must play if you like silent hill
buy it on psn if you own a ps3 |
Acanthus
03.19.12 | Pyramid is perhaps the best personification of a characters masochism ever, the film was great though I've never had the pleasure of playing the games.
|
dammets
03.19.12 | the second is easily the best. |
PayneTiger777
03.19.12 | I remember watching a video for Silent Hill 3 when you go into this room that has a giant mirror and you see these weird bloody vines start to form in the reflection, but nothing happening on your side. It slowly gets worse and if you stay in the room long enough, the bloody vines become reality and you die. |
dammets
03.19.12 | yeah that part is fucking cool. didnt scare me much cause i kinda knew about it before playing. |
Shuyin
03.19.12 | i played 3 and its was allright, the second was mindblowing.
couldnt finish Origins cuz its was a disaster, main character isnt even interesting |
dammets
03.19.12 | the scaries part in the entire series was in the sh2 prison. the courtyard where you put those three tablets in the middle and you hear the sound of somene dying. And the sound of the horse galloping. I was so sure there actually was something there, it took a while for me to work up the nerve to actually go in further. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.19.12 | omg i cant wait to play again |
VinVal
03.19.12 | I really miss the original wish i still had my copy :'( |
MetallicOpeth
03.19.12 | what!? HD collection? holy shit didn't hear about that! gonna get for sure |
Gyromania
03.19.12 | "fuck alan wake"
I mean, the game got less interesting/scary as you progressed, but it was undeniably beautiful and fun to play for a while
On the subject, I don't think Silent Hill Downpour is any good. I haven't played it yet, so I can't say that for certain, but based on reviewers I trust, watching numerous videos of the final product, and postulating that they're bound to keep going downhill after "The Room", I think it's pretty safe to say that it's a by-the-numbers Silent Hill title. The first three are the best, in my opinion, although I think that the fourth was met with unfair critical response; it's actually pretty good. Silent Hill (movie) was pretty great, but there's quite a bit that they messed up on. |
Shuyin
03.19.12 | the room was different, but it was definitelly OK, specially when the room, which suposedly was your safe spot, turns against you.
game has some details that actually make it good, the story was kinda lame tho. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.19.12 | i liked the movie too
ive heard a lot of bad and also a lot of good about downpour. was one of my most anticipated releases, I'll probably buy it when I finish 2 and 3. has anyone here already bought it? |
coneren
03.19.12 | yes |
jayfatha
03.20.12 | The movie was the definition of a 2.5 |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | i can always count on you, cone
jay even though you give the first a 2.5 are you still going to see the new one |
andcas
03.20.12 | I thought the movie was pretty good compared to other failed game movies out. |
coneren
03.20.12 | if you need something done im your guy |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | i mean it didnt turn out as well as dungeon siege but still
i appreciate you cone youre a good pal |
ohfoxxxycole

Oceanus
03.20.12 | Been thinkin' about hooking up my copy of SH1. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | been thinkin about buying it on psn
i really want to play fatal frame sometime |
jayfatha
03.20.12 | I will def see the new one being such a SH fanboy |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | so excited |
insomniac15
03.20.12 | Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 4 are the best. I am curious to see how's the new one, Downpour, gonna be like. Oh and yeah the movie was okay, I heard there's gonna be a sequel to that some time this year or next year. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | the silent hill 4 demo was my first experience with the series and all i remember is how scared i was putting my hand in that hole in the wall (bathroom i think). never played the actual game tho
played an hour and a half of homecoming, it was decent but ehhhh |
andcas
03.20.12 | I still don't get the ending to the movie. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | her skin gets ripped off and its cool |
Xenophanes
03.20.12 | played Shattered Memories and Homecoming. Really want to play 2 so I think I'll just get the Xbox version via amazon because the HD version looks kinda bad |
insomniac15
03.20.12 | the ending was kinda rushed |
Xenophanes
03.20.12 | I actually really loved Shattered Memories.
I've played the two games I mentioned, and 3 and 4 at a friends for a bit, and I don't get why they don't ditch the clunky ass controls |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | what did you think of homecoming xeno without having ever experienced 2? were you frightened? |
Deviant.
03.20.12 | I think the ending to the movie was purposefully vague simply so they could do a sequel, but yeah it really doesn't make sense |
andcas
03.20.12 | maybe they were dead all along from the crash and were in purgatory. |
Recspecs
03.20.12 | Silent Hill 2 is up there for me with games like System Shock 2, Bioshock, Condemned: Criminal Origins, etc. |
Deviant.
03.20.12 | "maybe they were dead all along from the crash and were in purgatory."
Maybe, though that wouldn't really explain the woman's ability to leave that phone message with her husband (even if it was all distorted and kept cutting out) |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | condemned: co was awesome too yea |
andcas
03.20.12 | @dev, I totally forgot about that scene. I'm going back to drawing a blank then. |
Deviant.
03.20.12 | The movie in general just doesn't make any sense, like the random connection between the two girls, and why the devil (or whatever evil entity existed within the girl) even bothered to "enter" her to begin with |
Xenophanes
03.20.12 | Yeah the whole cult thing sorta ruins the series too . |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | xeno answer me |
andcas
03.20.12 | the fact they tried to make the mother of the sacrificed kid sympathetic was bad. |
Xenophanes
03.20.12 | No I was not frightened. Well, I mean the game was frighteningly bad, js |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | yea i didnt think it was frightening either but ive wondered if maybe it was because i was desensitized by sh2 and condemned |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | thats why i asked |
EJinHD
03.20.12 | Downpour is atrocious |
Gyromania
03.20.12 | Homecoming was an unmitigated disaster. Also, Silent Hill pretty much is purgatory |
ConcubinaryCode
03.20.12 | Downpour wasn't so bad. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | playing silent hill 2, it looks a lot better actually. I miss the grain effect |
LepreCon
03.20.12 | Downpour's pretty neat but the combat is a little repetitive and the enemies aren't very imagnative, the AI is a bit DERP and there are some annoying glitches but other than that its worth checking out 3.5/5 |
EyesWideShut
03.20.12 | 1 was pretty scary when u got trapped in that school. and 2 wasnt bad either, i think thats the one where u get trapped in some asylum with those manikan things. |
Deviant.
03.20.12 | "the fact they tried to make the mother of the sacrificed kid sympathetic was bad."
Dahlia, or whatever her name was? I haven't played the games outside of half of SH1, but wouldn't that kind of make sense, to feel sorry for her because her daughter was taken away from her? |
ohfoxxxycole
03.20.12 | in love with this collection ughhhhhh |
andcas
03.21.12 | @dev, she actually went through a huge character change in the movie. in the game she burned her daughter alive and
kept her alive afterwards just so she would stay in pain and suffering because it was like the only way to birth her cults
god. in the movie they tried to make her some clueless poor woman who got tricked into taking her daughter to
that main woman running the church, christabella, making her the only true evil one who put all of it into motion. |
Deviant.
03.21.12 | Ah right, now I'm with you. Like I said I don't know the mythology, so most of my info comes from the movie (which I know is entirely different, but hey....) |
ohfoxxxycole
03.21.12 | @andcas why did they change the story, what you said about the game sounds like a much better movie |
andcas
03.21.12 | why does hollywood fuck up every video game based movie? they made mortal kombat with no gore and a pg-13. don't
mention street fighter. silent hill was pretty well adapted compared to other atrocities but certain changes really killed it
from being truly awesome. resident evil is the worst offender to me. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.21.12 | what about doom that was pretty angering |
Shuyin
03.21.12 | the answer is: paul anderson.
try the animated movie: street fighter 2, has great artwork, plenty of fights, tits and super cheesy story that actually works |
andcas
03.21.12 | I was never a diehard fan of doom but I am kinda shocked they never made a duke nukem movie with like arnold
schwarzenegger playing him or some shit. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.21.12 | really man? doom got me into first person shooters when i was real young i loved it so much and the movie was such a bastardization ugh |
andcas
03.21.12 | I mean what did you expect from the rock? I was the kid way too into mortal kombat, killer instinct, primal rage,
darkstalkers, tekken, marvel vs. capcom. |
ohfoxxxycole
03.21.12 | killer instinct was the shit man |
EyesWideShut
