Developer's sick of their titles!

[DK]

Silent Hill 4 considered "Pain In The Ass" by own Game Designer

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.

That quote is taken out of context.

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

Heh.

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

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

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

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

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

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

It's worth playing through.

NOW HOPE TO IT, KNAVE.

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

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.

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

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.

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.

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

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.

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

I'd have to say my biggest gripe is:

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

[Vonwert]

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

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.

Re: Developer's sick of their titles!

They should hand the series over to me.

EVERY SERIES SHOULD BE HANDED OVER TO ME.

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.

Cynthia should've been nakeder.
