uncanny resemblance to David Duchovny

I thought I was the only one...

What's weird is that I think the camera angles actually made it worse than it actually was, which is something I cannot believe I'm saying about a video game. In the remake the scene on the burning stairs has her looking normallish at times and like a chubby trooned out Mulder the next. Just another victim of the stylistically devoid Bloober dev team.
 
What was Claudia's problem? She just randomly murdered some teenage girl's dad, refused to elaborate, and then started sperging about god like she was ODing on drugs before being consumed by some giant mannequin thing. That whole scene was disgusting.

Heather should have at least shot her first. Since you know, seeking vengeance was the whole point of going back to Silent hill.

I posted that in a Facebook group and I'm responded by that troon community that "but he's hot!" Yeah, is he? Where his long jew nose is the majority of his face?

It's not that Angela is supposed to be pretty. But she's not ugly. They intentionally picked an ugly girl. Abstract Daddy isn't even abstract. They made it blatantly obvious he's supposed to be an adult raping a child where as in the original you have to look harder. It's more clear in the artwork. Also they completely ruined that fight making it a giant boss arena where it's running through walls and you completely lose the purpose of the room you're fighting it in.

They turned Maria from the ideal Mary succubus into a big head HR cunt.

I always thought the SH community had a higher standard, but I guess not. It's filled with the same faggots RE is now.

Not just that, but all these people who have heard about it for ages, and were huge fans or really interested in it but never bothered to play it until there was a new shiny remake. Now they can feel included so of course they have to defend it.

That horror/real-life crime youtuber, Reingbot, did a review of the game recently. It started with "as someone who's so involved in horror, SH has always been present in my mind, but I never played it because, oooh, it wasn't accessible, I was poor growing up and when I wasn't poor, they said I had to emulate it and I didn't feel compelled to do it".

If there's options and you don't wanna use them, it's not about accessibility, it's about you looking at the old graphics and saying "eeww", or being too tech-illiterate to get the ISO and fucking PCSX2 running.

Why the fuck would I listen to your opinion if you're not willing to go even that far? What do I care that the remake "broke you", whatever the fuck that overused phrase means?

A good rule of thumb is if they start their video or post with "As a- ", their opinion is immediately invalidated and should be ignored. Because its going to be some sub zero iq reddit shitpost virtue signaling about their moralfaggotry.

Its easier than ever to set up an emulator as most of them are as plug and play as it gets. Another sign that nothing those niggercattle bots say is ever worth a damn.
 
I tend to click off video essays that don't get straight to the point. Most of them start off with some irrelevant life story or intro that recaps the series or the game, ultimately culminating in them asking for you to like/subscribe, and/or a sponsor, before they even get to the fucking main subject.

"Wasn't accessible?" "Didn't feel compelled to do it?" Already smells bullshit that you're not a fan of SH in the first place. This is why I find it funny about people clamoring for remakes yet don't have the patience to use an emulator " 'cause muh legality/morality' " or other lame excuse like "it has to be fitted for the 'modern onion-skinned audience.' "

Faux fans trying to leech on some well-known properties are some of the worst Youtubers to ever grace that platform, just like the people buying those Funko Pops then declare that they're fans of a certain pop culture all of a sudden just because they bought a blank-faced plastic statue and call it a day.

Claudia was abused by her father and is almost an inversion to Heather. Claudia knew Alessa growing up and assumes she is within Heather but obviously Heather is her own self and proves it. So she believes by killing Heather's dad she can bring out the friend she once knew (for context Heather is really in her 30s if you count her lifetimes of Alessa and Cheryl.) Or lure her out to complete the planned ritual. Claudia is also a follower of the cult and so she intends to make her friend give birth to God but it backfired since Heather isn't Alessa. Claudia is implied strongly to be reborn after you kill God which is why Heather looks behind her after breaking down in the ending. (Source is Masahiro Ito and Book Of Lost Memories: Silent Hill Chronicle) 1000299513.jpg

However, all traces of babies crying were removed from the game (unless you play the botched hd collection that was reworked from older builds). Claudia is cool as fuck and I like how open ended it is to know she might have similar powers to Alessa.

All they do is alienate actual fans and are nothing but malicious trolls. Cause “its just the internet so nothing matters! Teehee!”

The retards would sooner ban you from their discord for simply talking about the games so they can get back to off topic circlejerking about how “cool” they are by virtue of existing, Video games? We don’t talk about those in this Video game themed server or website.

*inb4 they spam another 50 bullshit video essays on youtube about “how SH2 saeved mai lief” by the same leeches*

I see where Akira Yamaoka lost his sauce... it literally happened after 1. I used to brush off most of 1's soundtrack but it is the most diverse OST in the series with a culmination of influences like Portishead (triphop), old rock, industrial, even had character themes and some classical sounds. I do love the rest but replaying 1 made me realize how special it really is compared to the others in the series. Hoping Nightdive properly remasters it someday.

It was so weird playing Silent Hill 1 for the first time and noticing some of the voice actors also worked in Sims 2 :story:

Voice acting used to be so kino, sims 2 was also a gem lol time to order 6 million pizzas.
Also here's a treasure I found. Extra voiced Harry lines from the trade demo.

Fuck. I had forgotten how hard I rolled my eyes at Bloober's greed in putting their fingerprints on everything:

"Let's make this claustrophobic fight an arena. It'll be epic!."

"But the whole point is that this is Angela's monster; being fought in a claustrophobic bedroom, every surface of which she has been conditioned to associate only with forceful vaginal penetration, and from which there's no escape unless you kill Daddy."

"Uh...make the boss arena her house; where you run away from Daddy but he always catches up with you. And make it feel less scary, and more like a video game boss. Look, at the end of the day: Just make it less like Silent Hill, and more like whatever slop people play nowadays. This will surely sell Konami on giving us our own Silent Hill game to make."
 
I simply cannot forgive whoever designed the originally abstract-ish, flesh lips and final boss Mary/Maria to have fucking phases in which their metal boxes go to the ground and move as if it is part of the monster now. This literally contradicts the artistic inspiration the monster designs originally had with that artist who painted cages over his works. It was way creepier in the originals because they were the only enemies to float or have this unnatural movement about them, you wondered how the flesh lip could even move on the ceiling if they only had one arm to hold them, and possibly assume that because the final boss FLOATS she must be the most powerful manifestation... and now because a quack at Bloober decided to go RE mode, they figured "ohhh these bars opening up and walking like a HOMECOMING boss spider at their last phases will make it more epic!!" Instead of focusing on why those bossfights were uncomfortable and kinda tight to begin with. Same happened to Abstract Daddy. Padded slop for the lowest common denominator.
