Cihi is a character for sure and goes on about 5G insanity but he's also been fucking slandered by the progressive chattering class that shits on him at every chance they can get (see Voidburger's piece of shit video defending the HD games and western releases - actually, don't give xer any clicks). I'm not saying he isn't nutty, I'm just saying that because he is explicitly out-there as a wacky libertarian it's vogue to attack him and crank up his convervative uncle at Thanksgiving antics to 11.
At least he has a personality that isn't just basic bitch twitter takes.
I really hope they do switch things up. What bothers me is that from the trailer they have made some changes that alters the tone. In the remake trailer James bursts into the bathroom like he's about to shit his pants only to look himself in the mirror, in the original intro the tone is more that he is lost as a person and in an exhausted daze as he finds himself in Silent Hill.
I love how you think this is a being "real" and "brave" with a "vision", when it's the same generic mental midget take every western SH developer had, all of whom ended up producing rancid dogshit. Go play Homecoming and Downpour, they were made just for you, by like minded people.
The combat is the weakest part of the game though. It shouldn't be a game about how fun it is to bashing downed enemies with a lead pipe until they stop twitching, it shouldn't be Arkham Batman combat, but it can certainly be improved upon. It was stiff even back then.
I'm a little afraid of you sperging out at me for a solid ten pages while insisting you're not mad again, but since you seem to fly into a blind rage at the first sentence, I outlined what I wanted in the drop-down you didn't read. If you think it's remotely like the western SH's combat, lol I guess you didn't actually play those either
A remake might honestly be the best opportunity for a developer to make a Silent Hill game, but with more fluid combat. Not that you need to be air-juggling enemies with combos or whatever, but minor tweaks could work here, where large changes didn't work in the Western releases. While obviously the developers making the combat system in Homecoming and the devs writing the story and characters were separate people, I feel like designing a combat system like they did had knock-on effects on the rest of the game.
I don't want to see combos or even lock-ons, but better controls and maybe being able to turn the character a bit if you misjudged a swing and it registers that as a larger swing that still connects. Maybe a stumble to regain footing afterwards. You know, despair and panic strikes but player controlled. Something like that.
Months later and you're still seething so hard you have to project.
Learn to read, I said you had the same mentality as the retards that made those shitty games.
Of course it can be improved, but not by replacing it with shitty TPS or bolting on crappy loot&inventory shit. The combat itself is fine for what it is, certainly doesn't make the game worse for having it, unlike Homecoming/Downpour and arguably 4.
I probably didn't know that, you absolutely autistic sperg. What's the button for kick and how does it differ from attacking a downed enemy?
The issue is, at least in the case of when I played through it, I was a lot younger and a lot worse at games in general. Returning to it years and years later, it's laughably easy compared to a lot of other titles out there. It barely qualifies as 'survival horror' because you'll rarely run out of healing items or ammunition unless you try to kill absolutely everything, and it has no inventory management outside of 4, and the management didn't really work there because the levels are largely linear-but-gated-by-puzzles. It has almost no replay value, and gameplay hard mode equates to running around most enemies and then shooting bullet-sponge bosses for half an hour.
You read that line and thought you had a zinger, again. You went back and read the rest because you're worried about your internet cred on kiwi farms if it doesn't land, again.
Having pissed away a good 3 or 4 minutes of my life reading that thread only to find it filled with more of your fart-huffing and utterly exhausting mode of writing -- as if your endless exacerbation with your fateful encounters with differing opinions simply must be recorded for posterity at every possible opportunity -- I can now safely conclude I hate you and everyone else involved in that (and this) retarded slapfight.
Just run up to them while they're down and press the attack button without locking on, James kicks them and they die. Never seen someone not know that you can stomp them.
No, I conveyed that you failed to read, again. You can't even refute it, you just started projecting your obsession with stickers onto me. Half your post is about stickers, ffs.
Hey, don't both sides the issue, when the fault lies with the schizoid spergposting lunatic. All I did was reply to his post about SH2.
I am not denying he did a great job. Same with Donna. Though in her case she is primarily a singer first and has done a lot of songs for Japanese games like Metal Gear and God Eater.
You'll be surprised at just how many people despise the combat. They even have the 3000 IQ take that "the whole game sucks because of this".
Voice actors don't tend to get residuals very often - look at the current Bayonetta drama over her batty actor.
That's insanity in the vein of arguing that the star wars prequels are good because "they're so much more cerebral than the originals," which is also a real take I've head someone deadass say
There are times where gameplay can be so bad that it's hard to get into the rest of the experience, like Planescape: Torment, but yeah SH2 isn't anywhere near that bad. It definitely deters me from replaying the game more than once a decade, but the rest of the experience is great and you need something between the cutscenes and setpieces to keep the pacing.
Best of all it's not even any easier to access, since it's exclusively on the hardest-to-get console. I don't really know why it exists.
