Developer's sick of their titles!

[Dreamknight]

Silent Hill 4 considered "Pain In The Ass" by own Game Designer (http://gamesradar.msn.co.uk/news/default.asp?pagetypeid=2&articleid=31540&subsectionid=1584)

So basically they don't like making horror games anymore so they release crappy ones? Uh huh....I think it's time they put the series away, then.

[Nixon]

That quote is taken out of context. :p

And it sounds like they are just sick of their fans.

Heh.

I liked 4, except for the whole "these ghosts are unkillable" aspect.

[Dreamknight]

Don't get me wrong, I also wholly enjoyed four, but I'm really just confused in general about the article.

[John Mora]

SH4 was such a mixed bag. SUCH a mixed bag.

[Czechs Mex]

I've got it, but i haven't played it. this topic has yet to sway me either way.

[SirTMagus]

It's worth playing through.

NOW HOPE TO IT, KNAVE.

[Vonwert]

It is really great for most of the game. The only thing that takes it down a notch is the un-killable ghosts and having to drag the luggage around.

[Nixon]

The setting, music and visuals are fantastic. I liked the combat system, too.

But like vonwert said, the unkillable ghosts and the "baggage" can make it frustrating at times.

Also, the game is a ***** about not giving you enough info at first and then giving you too much by the middle/end.

It's worth playing, but there are better silent hill games.

[John Mora]

Personally, the ghosts weren't the bad part for me. It was the friggin' insane difficulty curve in the middle of the game. You could usually stake a ghost if you had to.

[Nixon]

But you could only do it to one ghost per level, right? I also think I missed one or two of those swords, which made things worse.

In the other silent hill games, the enemies would come back/respawn in certain areas. I find that more acceptable than the invincible ghost plan, even when you can stake them (the noise they make is pretty amusing/disturbing).

The doll was annoying, too, because they gave you no clue as to what you were getting into once you took it.

[SirTMagus]

I'd have to say my biggest gripe is:

"KILL...KILL...KILL..."

[Vonwert]

I think the mood was the best. The music really was great and when "Room of Angel" played during that one scene, it really made you feel for the characters.

[SirTMagus]

They should hand the series over to me.

EVERY SERIES SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO ME.

[John Mora]

But you could only do it to one ghost per level, right? I also think I missed one or two of those swords, which made things worse.

If you had a sword, you could stake a ghost. It was just very difficult to do without a silver bullet. I staked two of 'em. I wanted to stake Cynthia, but... she's insane.

And yeah, that scene with Cynthia and Room of Angel I think was one of the best scenes in the entire series.

[SirTMagus]

Cynthia should've been nakeder.

[John Mora]

Um, if you meet the requirements, she IS.

[SirTMagus]

**** the requirements!

**** THAT ****! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

[Nixon]

Cynthia the super slut. What a character.

Too bad a certain gaming magazine spoiled the "room of angel" scene you guys are mentioning.

But let's never forget the head.

[John Mora]

Ehhhh, the head was underwhelming. That whole second half of the story was underwhelming. Stupid Henry. STUPID EILEEN.

[Caciss]

STUPID GAME.

[SirTMagus]

COME ON, EILEEN.

At this moment, you mean EVERYTHING.

[John Mora]

I swore up and down at that ****.

[Kefka Jr.]

I dunno why you guys had such problems with Eileen. She ****in' LOVED me. She helped me beat the **** out of enemies. And gave rad head.

[highwind]

OMG TOPICK HYJAK

[SirTMagus]

Head is the point of ALL topics.

[Caciss]

Especially MAGUS topics.

[Ryner]

If you mean it's the final goal, then yes.

[Caciss]

Well, of course.

[Nixon]

See, everybody loves the head.

Also, the last boss music was nice.

But I'd rather play SH 1-3 again before replaying 4.

[Dreamknight]

Oooh, I love the final boss track, I was so happy when I found it online, too! (since it's not in the OSTs)

[SirTMagus]

See, everybody loves the head.
:lol I... don't know what we're talking about anymore...

I liked how there was this sudden Evangelion spin with the last boss. *crucifixions! amniotic fluid! spears! broken women! psycho sons! Freud!*

And I HATE how EVERY OST is ALWAYS incomplete.

It makes me wanna yell "BALLS!"
