Damn, he really has a point. How is resident evil more popular than silent hill
That's basically the entire argument summed up in the screenshot, honestly.
Resident Evil is based on action horror B-movies. Silent Hill is some deranged Japanese guy's schizobabble. No thanks, bro.
konami pretty much stopped making games at all for a decade
Silent Hill always had shit gameplay. Resident Evil was just as tight and responsive as any other Capcom game from 1996, that is to say it's leagues ahead of every other fixed camera game of the era.
>>737693331Silent Hill hasn't been good since 3.> muh silent hill Fless shit for once doesn't mean goodResident Evils story is goofy, but at least they are fun to play, replay even.
>>737693331People actually buy and play RE games. SH fans just read and watch lore videos.
>>737693331Crapcom's series has been reinvented at least twice now in irder to appeal to the more and more casual ADHD crowd.SH was a passion project. Until Jewnami sacked the OG team, and tried to do RE4 to the series.
>>737694124nigga the last silent hill that had any kind of passion behind it released BEFORE crapcom did the first RE pivot
>>737694124And this is why Silent Hill sucks. Who the fuck wants to play a game made by a schizophrenic with issues and hangups? I wanna play games made by normal people who just wanna make fun shit. I don't care if it's "deep" or some shit, who gives a fuck?
>>737693331maybe you do need to understand the Silent hill lore more but the second guy is right about consistency in RE the setting is always without a question of a doubt. but in silent hill thats not the case ateast since SHIII I feel like the series should've ended with the original three and the rest after should've been their own things but under a new umbrellas name thats not SH kinda like how Persona games are still Shin Megami Tensei games but they split off from the og series.
It's a mystery..
>>737693331Resident Evil is fun to play and has cool characters. Silent Hill isn't and doesn't
>>737693331>consistentI assume it's a RE fan boy, which means he's quite hypocritical for calling SH "inconsistent".
>>737693331RE is more popular because the games are better and aren't depressing.SH lives and dies by the setting, characters and story. Gameplay and level design is kind of ass in all of them.RE has silly characters and story, but rapes SH in all aspects actually important in a videogame
>Why did The Walking Dead have more viewers and seasons than Twin Peaks?Because (you)r average person is, at heart, an animal, and loves things that make him want to eat, fight or fuck. Challenging things are painful because challenges hurt the ego. Pain becomes a thing to fear and avoid like a dog learns to avoid punishment. You train yourself to chase only reward, reward, reward.
>>737693331>RE1>you thought it was demonic rituals and supernatural entities? Too bad it's science experiments and secret labs! >Chris stop laughing!>SH1>Yeah it's demonic ritual and satanism. Also drug cartel subplot.
>>737693331RE has broader appeal than SH (zombies, guns, sexy women)
>>737694319How the fuck did you get that from the picture? Projection?
>>737693331Popularity has nothing to do with quality.If the best games were also the most popular, capitalism would work and we'd live in a fucking paradise.
>>737693331Silent Hill requires less brain power to play though.
>>737694124This. SH is almost an adventure game made by a small arthouse studio, the action is toned down so much that you don't even begin feel ammo pressure unless you play on hard. RE is an action-adventure game through and through, and it's made by Capcom who are arcade kings and the top of the industry in visuals, character design and worldbuilding. It's not hard to see why one would have broader appeal.One thing Team Silent did that made their games stand the test of time, that I don't see credited enough, was adding the alternate endings and NG+ with special weapons, even a ranking system. If the combat is functional, they added what they could to enrich the gameplay so their games technically have almost as much of that kind of meta-gameplay content as RE.
>>737693331Because SH exploded with 2, and despite being a SH game in name only, everybody wanted SH to be the same as 2 forever and as such every subsequent game past 4 became a lame attempt at imitating 2.Silent Hill F had the right idea by just doing a cult horror game, but utterly floundered the execution by making the protagonist an unlikable whore and leaning into gay politics that was outdated circa 2017. What makes James at least understandable as a character, is that hes not a bad person, he just did a bad thing that everybody who has lost a loved one to cancer or some flavor of terminal illness, have all lived through. That feeling of having the dead drag you down, day after day, not being able to properly grieve and move on because this person you love so much just won't fucking die already. Its a horrible experience but makes for a very human story.Whats her face not wanting to grow up and fuck Chad because her Mom was a happy stay at home wife isn't human, or interesting, its fucking tedious and again, a repeat of 2.Just tell stories about people running into weird cults doing fucked up shit, Fatal Frame in the middle of the Chained Bride ceremony, not 100 years after the fact. Resident Evil succeeds because it embraced the fact that the games are about an inch deep in depth, but splashing in puddles can be fun on a rainy day.
Capcom focuses on gameplay while Konami focuses on more narrative elements. Its fine to be different.
>resident evil>consistent lorehow to tell someone started with either 7 or 9
>>737693331sh is too scary, even though normgroids say they love horror they don't they love fake horror like RE
>>737694601those 2 are men btw
>>737698667You have to be 18+ to post here.
>>737693331Resident Evil just had better people at the helm for a long time. Say what you want about RE4 and the direction it took the series in, but it was an industry changing game. Silent Hill team is too cowardly to make a tank control game, and their latest attempt is a bad mimic of RE4 twenty years later.Even when Resident Evil is bad, it is still fun.
>>737703862I should say second latest attempt. I forgot Silent Hill F even existed.
