Maybe newDahlia is sort of like Alessa's Maria--she made herself a kind of hot but of legal age self-insertion so she can run around and do actual adult things without worrying about having horrific burns and being near comatose.
Granted, I've never played SH because I'm a giant wuss, but I thought that the feeling of being a regular guy flailing through the evil town was a core part of the experience. It seems that taking down the threat level would undermine that.
And the puzzles. I thought those were kind of like the town being difficult in a roundabout way just in case the monsters weren't frustrating, just so all the bases were covered.
IT IS PRETTY MUCH maybe the town doesn't feel as malevolent when there aren't monsters chasing you this time around? I DUNNO I CAN'T PIN IT DOWN
i loved the puzzles because they made absolutely no sense and were just big ol shameless time wasters and they reminded me of old sierra games for that exact reason
I'm not going to say any spoilers, but last night a friend of mine played through SH:SM. It really is a good Silent Hill story that's been missing since 4. Honestly I think this should have been the fifth game and not just some random AU.
I agree though. The game is very choppy. But at the same time I want to give them a break. It's a new idea. They're fantastic ideas though that can be perfected. I think with a little more work they can really make the way they did the game play work really well. Actually, I think a game like this would be fantastic with the Natal that's coming out.
Graphics? Well. It was the Wii. Although they could have handled that if they were the badasses at Team Silent. (;0;/ uhn I seriously think SH4 is one of the prettiest games I've seen on the PS2)
I'VE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT IT, AND I AM TRYING TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND AS I GO ALONG, THUS I'M NOT COMPARING IT TOO HEAVILY TO SH1 AND LETTING IT DO ITS OWN THING MOSTLY AM V INTRIGUED ABOUT WHERE IT'S GOING
it is a bit choppy and i do love the idea they have behind the system they chose and why and everything and i think that's a great idea but it could definitely use a little improvement in places? but i do like that feel really.
POOR WIIIII, IT TRIES ITS BEST and some places are really lovely looking, and some places look a bit lame :O MUCH LIKE HOMECOMING IN THAT REGARD i'm getting hit with a lot of lag too did you get lag
Haha at least with the Wii it has the excuse that it has inferior graphics to the rest. I think Homecoming was just lazy and an unfinished game.
AND WOW YEAH DROP IN FRAME RATE DROPS LIKE A MOFO SOMETIMES.
Also, did you get the sound glitch? I don't know if you've come by those points but there's parts where the sound is suddenly VERY LOUD to the point you can't hear annnyyyy of the dialogue and y'fear your speakers are going to blow. XD
