SH4: The Room... Did you like it?

[xAmerican_Apathyx]

Did anybody really like The Room? I didn't, cause you don't even really go into Silent Hill, not the town anyways. There are just references TO Silent Hill. I think maybe like, the game should have been individual, and just called "The Room."

But that's just my opinion on the game. *Shrugs*

[xylvestr]

well.... i like it even if most people say it's the weakest SH game (so far)... but still, i enjoyed playing it.

(and this should be in the SH4 section)...

[xAmerican_Apathyx]

It's a good game, yeah... just not really connected to the town, really.

[cassidey]

You're right it is very far away from anything like the other games, but the atmosphere of Lonlyness was heavy and dominating the game. That was something new and I was impresed by that...by the way I thing it was a bit of a mess...entering each world for two times and all those strange levels...uncoordinated but not that bad.

I don't like it

[Mei Asakura]

I had an easier time with the control scheme, but I overall thought it was lacking. Henry's such a bore. But I love Eileen. ^^

I think the Wish House was in Silent Hill (or near the outskirts of the town). The Water Prison was somewhere on Toluca Lake.

The control scheme was pretty bad. If you suddenly stop running, Henry slides several feet. Apparently Henry doesn't know how to swing a bat (unless you charge the attack for about 30 seconds).

The game may be the weakest in the series, but it was an interesting change of pace.

[Mei Asakura]

And that's why no one picked Henry to be on their team for softball. LOL I hated running up all those stairs in the Apartment World being chased by a ghost. You'd sometimes get stuck going around a corner. ><

[TannerG]

He's no better at golf, either. He keeps breaking his clubs.

[xAmerican_Apathyx]

Oh god, I laughed when I found that golf club. I'd been playing Tiger Woods, the golf game for a while, and I'd got hooked, so I stopped playing it, and switched to SH4, and I found that god damn club, I couldn't escape the golf game, lol.

[Purramid_Head]

I liked it. But I still cannot see how SH3 was the poorest selling SH and not 4, 4 is close to 2 in sells I believe.

[sonic_13]

From what I've heard SH4 was not originally intended to be part of the Silent Hill series, but further in development they decided to make it a Silent Hill game to help marketing, or something.

I think its a great game! Very scary =( I really don't like the victims, not because they're scary, but theres just something about encountering enemies you can't kill I don't like. It's more of an annoyance than a scare everytime a victim pops up.

[xAmerican_Apathyx]

Cynthia's ghost reminded me of Samara from The Ring, lmfao.

[ericfordh]

I don't like invincible enemies either, unless they're a special or unique enemy, a boss or something, like Pyramind Head. In fact, it was when I encountered those ghost guys who were invincible that I stopped playing!

I'd like to try and finish SH4 one day, but it's such a labor of love. The premise sounded awesome to me, but indeed it's not a true SH game. I think it was a dirty trick for Konami to take a non-SH game and put the Silent Hill name on it just to dupe loyal fans. A really cheap marketing scheme. They could've at least given it a subtitle and no number, like Resident Evil: Code Veronica, to delineate it from the other games in the series.

[VoidEyez]

Its too bad that the game, in essence, becomes enjoyable at the end.

Room 302 of the past as I said before, was awesome.

[EddieIsTheFog]

It was cool, not really connected to Silent Hill but was a cool game and was really long which got a little frustrating.

I find this a strange analogy, I consider Code Veronica one of the better Resident Evil's

I think it had something to do with it being for the Dreamcast that they didn't put a number on it, but I'm not totally sure.

But you're right in effect. They shouldn't have tried to make it sound so close to the SH series.

Since I hate Resident Evil, I did like CVX. Which is odd. My only favorites were CV and Nemesis. Everything else sucked balls.
