A vacation in Silent Hill with the series' worst navigator

The constant threat of violent death isn't protagonist Murphy Pendleton's only problem in Silent Hill: Downpour. He's also really bad with maps.

Funny how something so simple when done so poorly can hurt a game immensely.

THR1LLHOUSE4412d ago

Maybe it's like...unreliable on purpose? Like the devs *want* you to feel lost and confused?

Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit?

crazytown994412d ago

Yeah, like how people say the crappy controls in Resident Evil added to the tension.

Except that they were just bad controls.

FinaLXiii4412d ago (Edited 4412d ago )

you must think that all action games with pre rendered backgrounds have bad controls then lol

the classic re games were about item management more than anything else when it comes to gameplay, since RE4 enemies drop ammo LOL how unrealistic is that.

Maybe the character loses his pen along the way?

I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.

Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.

bfrye26182d ago

Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.

gold_drake182d ago

silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.

for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.

CrimsonWing69181d ago

No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

bfrye26181d ago

We agree, that is why the writer put it in top place!
