Okay, Did not enjoy Silent Hill 2 that much, felt very empty to me. I felt like I was traveling through area's without any friction for the most part, just sliding on the world's smoothest material. I can't help but compare this to Resident Evil and I think for sure they do better at this in every way, but this provides a different vibe and a more Thinking Gamer's Story™.

I like the vibe, and of course I enjoy the soundtrack more than any RE game; but the story I also get almost nothing out of. I think I just want more time with these people as characters and this game is very short with a lot of Silent Gaming, so I just don't care. I think it makes up for that with the moments you do get being strong(?), thats why Angela is probably the best character, but like I can imagine if I got more moments.

Born From a Wish was cool, it was in a mansion so I got to think about Resident Evil! I liked the area probably the most out of all them. Very short and nothing besides that, but I liked that new area.

ALSO This game lets you fucking FULLY REMAP ALL BUTTONS ON CONSOLE. That shit blew my mind. It also has a baby mode where you dont die, thats awesome; so ahead of its time there.

i'm sure you've heard this before but sh2's appeal is less in what the characters do and more about what they've done and how silent hill affects them

2 goes hard on the figure-it-out-yourself psychological horror angle. sh1, 3 and also 4 are pretty much nothing like this. 1 and 3 are more plot-driven and 3 is far more of a survival horror game than 1 and 2 combined

(3 and 1 are directly connected to each other, 2 is kind of an offshoot, and for 4 you'd be best off having played all 3 others)

@3xtreme_Belgian the source engine "Help!" clears all that

@snigglegros False equivalence, Help! is applicable in all situations, while those two lines are extremely contextual. Destroyed.

@Zurheide So based on how useful the lines are, Help is obviously at the front, then I can agree that "How can you sit there and eat a pizza" would be better than "jill sandwhich", you would have to find someone named Jill to even use that line!
