I played SH1, 2 and 3 for the first time last week, and I think 3 is only liked because it's nostalgiafagging over 1. But I found it really disappointing and I wanted it to end.
>>739677197I played all these games when they came out and i never liked 3 that much. 1 & 2 put in the effort to sell you on the idea that the locations are part of a larger cohesive world rather than just video game levels, which 3 doesn't seem that concerned about. The story doesn't interest me at all and the monsters being more aggressive just irritated me since the gameplay itself is still very basic.
>>7396771973 was always the weakest, yeah. The most relentless in dread scenarios with the constant flesh hallway and more 'in your face' spooks kinda like an evolution of 1, and Heather's personality is a treat, but other than that the game's just kinda... there. It certainly doesn't stand out as much as 1, 2 or even 4.
>3 is badWhat kind of retarded revisionist history is this? 2 was universally loved and defined that gen. 3 was also liked because Ng+ let you go nuts with goofy ass outfits and weapons.
>I played SH1, 2 and 3 for the first time last week, and I think 1 is only liked because it's nostalgiafagging over 3. But I found it really disappointing and I wanted it to end.You see how useless my point is, when I don't have a single point of evidence, or argument? Claims with no reason is burgers with no meat.
>>7396771973 has a cozy intro, but the rest is shit after the first monster. It's just a boring dungeon crawler. 1 and 2 at least had a nice overworld (town) between the dungeons.
>>739677197dogshit faggot opinionkill yourself nigga
>>739678074I actually dislike the start of 3. Early mall is still ok, but once it transforms I don't like the aesthetics of it and the level design is a shit.I love SH3 the very moment Heather escapes the sewer labyrinth. The worker's building and hospital are goat.
>>739677197Agreed, it's worse than both 1 and 2 and the story is just a rehash. It's only liked because of Heather and because 4 was so much worse>>739677859>w-w-what do you mean you have an opinion but what about the consensushuh>>739677965Lacks the more open city segments of 1 and 2, and the small city bits are literally copied from 2 anyway. The dungeons feel uninspired compared to 1 and 2. There's no strong theme, Heather is just going through some random shit instead of experiencing a personal nightmare like James or getting caught in Alessa's nightmare like Harry
>>739678168For me it's Silent Hill 1. But I have to admit I would take SH3 over the SH2 retcon.
>>739677197SH is the kind of series I'm interested in but not in actually playing it because the gameplay looks garbage so I watched LPs of them. Had fun. But I was also confused about all the music being produced for the games being barely in the games. And it already being kind of niche it sucks to see talented musicians basically playing/singing to a wall.
>>739677197God Heather is so fucking sexy
>>739677859It's not bad at all, most franchises out there would kill to have as quality a game as SH3; but it is the weakest of the Team Silent games.
>>739678168>The worker's building and hospital are goat.But the hospital was already in 2, and the next part is just the Amusement Park and Church, and the Church is basically some nostalgia fucking of SH1.With all 3 done, I think SH1 is more kino the more I think on it. Props to 3 for making me realize the "Go home, thief" message in the school was Alessa's desk, and that the whole reason we go to the school in SH1 was obviously to go through a piece of Alessa's traumatic history. I hadn't picked up on that originally. But here SH3 is nostalgiafagging it and it looked better in SH1.SH2 is a masterpiece though. It had a really nice vibe, but SH3 is overly dark, and the more overtly zealotry and "God vs Satan" crap became too indulging. The characters are all pretty trash, and good god the ending was shit, with Heather just going kinda "haha, so I went and did all that, huh? Whoops!" like wtf was that ending.It's not a bad game. Gameplay wise it's as good as 2, but the level ideas grated on me, and the story made me want to leave the game sooner than it ended, unlike the first 2 where I got increasingly invested in whatever was really happening.
>>739678585embarassing, kill yourself
>>739680069>But the hospital was already in 2and? it's much cooler in 3.
>>739681294nta but the gameplay is factually complete shit though. I played it when they came out and the gameplay never truly improved. You miss out on the puzzle solving though. Unless you pause to try it yourself or some shit.
>>739681604Since you are dumb by gameplay you probably meant combat, because the gameplay is great.The combat is fine for what the games are, they evolved from adventure games that didn't have any kind of combat at all, here the combat system serves its function of adding some tension and resource management to the exploration.
>>739681604>t.a.gonna be real here. I solved every puzzle on Hard Mode with my own brain-cells in SH2 but I couldn't be bothered to do it in 3. The very first puzzle in the Mall level was something about Shakespeare and I'm like "I don't fucking know who '''ELLIOT''' is" and it's passing references at me, and then there's some sort of math involved too. What the shit? And later on I gave up as well. The Cremation puzzle required you to pick up on Stanley being like "I'm numba 7!" earlier, and combine stuff he wrote in his memos for 1 of the bodies, and there's like 2 that sound like they could pass for the "Hell" candidate and 2 that had something to do with over-eating, but one of them is the "hunter". Fuuuuuck that shit. I googled it and took its answer.The puzzles are shit in SH3.
>>739677197of the first 3 i think it has the strongest scary scenarios
>>739681805>by gameplay you probably meant combatOh no I meant the walking of course you complete doublenigger
>>739682136you are joking but the walking was bad too.
>>739677197fag
>>739678074>nice overworld>0 enterable buildings just holding W in fog while opening the map every 20 secondssome really horrible takes in this thread
>>739677197I'm beginning to think the consensus around the series is made up by a bunch of retarded pseuds. 2 isn't even close to as good as 1, 3 is shit (aside from Heather, the ost and a few more things in art direction, which is not enough to save the game). Origins is better than both 2 and 3, canonfags get the rope. I'll play homecoming at some point and if it turns out to be a fine game then I'm never listening to anyone again on this.
>sh3 is bad because...it just is im totally not an incel who hates female mcs
>>739685698>Origins is better than both 2 and 3Cringe. It's tolerable and a pale imitation at best
