"Konami reveals new Silent Hill game". *holds head* The series is gonna get the Resident Evil treatment, isn't it? Inundated with a fuckton of sequels while the original engaging storyline becomes a shadow of its former self ( Read more... )

fandom: resident evil, ughhh, rant, fandom: silent hill

Keep in mind bb that half of the Silent Hill games have nothing to do with the main storyline at all. I don't think you should worry about it being mangled, since it seems like it was never that important to begin with.

The only SH that was really an abomination to the original canon was Shattered Memories, since it was completely AU and threw all mythos out the window. And it sucked in its own right, too, but that's a different story all together.

And not for nothing, man, you never actually really played any of the SH games past 4. Just give it a chance. ♥

That's one of the things I miss: the attempted raising of gods and crazy cults and even the drug trafficking. I want a return to all of that, dammit. Not even explicitly, just on the fringe.

...I really do sound like a crotchety oldfag, don't I? Dagnabbit.

But less than half of the games dealt with that. 8( And even 2 of the 4 games that Team Silent made didn't. I don't know if it's oldfagging so much as just liking 1 and 3 more than the others.

But that's what laid the foundation for The Order and related skeevy activity going on in the town. Baw.

Yeah but the vast majority of fandom hates the Order plot and wants it to diaf already and stop showing up in the games. As a matter of fact, that was one of the big complaints about Homecoming. "More boring Order shit? Give it a rest already." B|

Is there any particular reason you've come to my journal to tl;dr about Silent Hill?

Not that I don't understand or empathize with your passion about the games, but getting big comment notifs every few minutes was beginning to be a bit much.

If any of the others respond back to you, I'd appreciate it if you'd move it to LJ private messages/email/AIM/your messenger of choice (at their discretion, of course).

Thanks for your consideration. Have a good night. :)
