Silent Hill

[The Cheese Aisle]

I just got SH2R up and running because I had to do some troubleshooting (it's really the year of the Linux gaming desktop this time, guys). Anyways, I'm in the setting menu and already pissed off. What do you mean how do I want my Quick Time Event and Splatter Screen Effects to look?? Like nothing? Because they don't exist?

Don't do this to yourself, it's not worth it. Nodding off on heroin would be time better spent.

The guy I was responding to was specifically asking about burned discs.

Don't you just need the memory card exploit (or [insert favourite exploit]) to burn a game and run it as normal?

I dunno, I just remember needing a modchip to run burns. Since then its reached the point you described where people prefer to just not use a disc at all.

On one hand, I want to see how they fuck up the Lisa Garland scene in the remake.
On the other, it's just going to be mediocre and mildly depressing.

"I get it now, why am I still alive while everyone else has been turned into UE5 slop"
*Sad guitar music starts playing, instead of the blood dripping down her forehead and staining her whole body, her head suddenly doubles in size, her jaw becomes square and mandly and she loses her hips and general womanly proportions and turns into a tubular 14 year old boy.
*Achievement Unlocked "It's that time of the month"
I can also see Bloober getting a big head (eh) now and thinking they have the right to change shit, so get ready for bloody demonic Lisa to chase you around after the famous encounter, like Nemesis or some shit.

The final boss burns you in real life by cooking your graphics card.

Even before they had a big head they thought they had the right to change shit. I figured SH2R proved that already. Everyone wants to put their own stain on a legendary product thinking they can join its timelessness. Like Tom Hewlett daring to think he could edit Silent Hill 2's script to make it better just for the comic sans "HD" collection. Never forgetti what blooper team spawned from... an inferior PT clone.

Maybe you won't believe me, but when I read this, I was like, wtf is this guy talking about? Then in hit me, the SH2R already came out, I pirated and played it when it come out, I talked about it like 2 weeks ago, and I ALREADY FORGOT the fucking thing existed, its THAT generic, I shudder to think what they'll do with SH1 after butchering every character in 2, specially Angela and Eddie.

What the fuck is with the 14 year old boy thing?

I think he's just making a gag about turning a true-and-honest woman into a flat chested/assed version of similar height a la a 14 year old male.

nuDevs are (generally) fucking terrified of making their female leads even remotely conventionally attractive and their defenders screech at you when you ask why they turned Angela who is conventionally attractive (by the standards of 2001) but obviously plain and fucked up as per her backstory, into a blobby David Duchovny mess that I think they had to go back and do some jaw surgery on because even they had to look back on it and say, shit they're right aren't they?

Not to harp on SH2R too much more because it's been talked to death and I don't hate it as much as a lot of you guys do, but thinking back on it they really fucked up making Maria look actually sexual in a way that the original handled effortlessly, and worked against the game and narrative.

The idea of replaying it actually makes me feel tired.

I finished the labyrinth and I'm dropping the game. There are SO many more things wrong with it that were building up to this point (like what the FUCK is up with the fog "storm"?!), but the effortpost it would take to name everything isn't worth dignifying this piece of slop. The straw that finally broke the camel's back was a sequence in which you get trapped in a series of rooms and have to fight waves of reanimated monsters while an alarm blares in the background. Traversing between the rooms sets off another loud explosion as walls crumble around you. It ruins any sense of fear, since you know what's going to happen, you can cheese the whole sequence (just avoid enemies and wait for the alarm to turn off and the enemies die). Since everything is already dialed to 100% and the "jumpscares" are predictable, it goes from building tension, to grating. It completely misses the mark of the original and has Bloober written all over it. I tried to give it a fair shot, but I simply don't care about going into the hotel for more "modernized" repetitive OTS combat that makes James feel more like a RE proagonist instead of an everyman, a bloated map padded with repetitive environmental puzzles, and shitty bloober jumpscares instead of actually, y'know, using the fucking radio that barely makes a noise for some reason even though there are monsters everywhere. I'm immensely diaspointed that this is game is somehow considered good and that Bloober is developing SH1R, and am reminded just how fucking dumb the average consumer is. I'm trying to take solace in the fact that the originals aren't going anywhere and I can play them whenever.

ETA: doing a postmortem on this game and found out that Tencent owns a 22% majority share in Bloober. Things are starting to make even more sense now.

If their other shitty "original" game, whatever its called, manages to be another mediocre 4-6 out of 10, enough for the reddit crowd to happily slurp, you know they're going to be super smug and this time change even more of the sh1 remake. I guess at this point its inevitable, they'll get their ugly mittens on my actual favorite, 3.
