Trophies are always iffy for me. I'd rather gain unlockable weapons and modes from completing a game if I had to choose but very rare that a modern game offers both.

Eidolon2881d ago

I like trophies, it's kind of a public list of games you've beat the crap out of, I've made a few friends online based on trophies. The reason why trophies and gamerscore are fun is because it's a number that keeps growing, and the trophies set a goal to increase it, it's a game in itself. I wouldn't want no new weapon for beating a Dark Souls game, thank you, give me the plat or at least the trophies for beating all the bosses.

Eidolon2881d ago (Edited 2881d ago )

Doom has you pretty much following a guide your entire playthrough for the plat, because there's so many easily missable collectibles that it would take 100+ hours if you wing it versus 20-25 w/ guide but it's a great experience. Some games have you grind for it, have you replay a game several times with only minute differences, I don't call that replay value.

Good thing I have all of the SH games on PS2.

Kte4206d ago

Good thing they released SH2 & 3 in HD already cause this one was just bad.

jc485734206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

yea, but the HD Collections had many tech problems. No, Patch 2 did not fix everything. Still experiencing freezing issues from time to time. Framerate issues are just more subtle this time around.

CGI-Quality4206d ago

Not bad at all, just different. It's immensely better than most of the recent SH titles.

The Room had an atmosphere about that fit the Silent Hill culture, despite the steps it took away from the traditions of the franchise. Doesn't make it a bad game, though.

ChipChipperson4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

Definitely agree. I mean, gameplay wise and it's mechanics, the game really started to feel like a chore mid-game, but for me, it really tops my list of the creepiest SH game. I thought it did exceptionally well with the atmosphere and art direction. Yeah, some enemies were kinda...dopey looking/sounding, but I loved the direction they were trying to go with the ghost(victims) and for me, that made up for it. That and the soundtrack was excellent.

Blacktric4206d ago

If it was possible to ignore you and report that comment more than once, I would gladly do it.

"cause tihs one was just bad"

Get off the bandwagon and play the game properly before writing something like that.

TheMutator4205d ago

sir you dont know what the hell you're talking!!!

Kte4204d ago

I don't? lol that was my opinion and I see everyone else has theres. So again, IT SUCKED lol screw the atmosphere around the room, the suspense is the only thing that will never fail, and the music, monsters, weapons, but as I said being in the room sucked there is a big reason why they are letting Kojima take over for this lol

i kinda liked this game even thought it wasnt really a silent hill game. i guess silent hill fans hated this game because they got tricked. i guess for the people who disliked it maybe they should thik of this game as a horro game and not part of silent hill.

@kte
good thing they released sh2&3?
didnt 90% of the ppl hate the hd version and prefer the original? voice acting, bugs, framerate and graphical glitches messed up the game big time apparently

Kratoscar20084206d ago

The room is a great SH game, the only shortcoming of the game was to reexplore areas but appart from that is a worthy tittle of the Silent Hill name.

The room ghosts scared the hell of me.

adorie4206d ago

Too much backtracking, not enough exploration... You're not even in Silent Hill for long, if at all.

The game seemed rushed to me. It left something to be desired.

Kratoscar20084206d ago

@adorie

There was enough exploration, maybe not like Silent Hill standards but there was.

The game suffered as a last minute choice to tie it with the series.

You Visit the orphanage where alyssa spent her childhood and the antagonist is mentioned in SH2 so i think that the game made a great job tying themselve with the series.

HarryMasonHerpderp4206d ago

I would take PS2 ports of the original games on PSN anyday than have that garbage HD Collection.
Would be amazing if I could get them on my Vita.
Instead we get another garbage game SH book of memories.
Hopefully the next SH game is developed in Japan with Hideo Kojima's fox engine.

hkgamer4206d ago (Edited 4206d ago )

its a shame vita cant play/emulate ps2 games.
silent hill should definitely return to japan. the japanese seems to be experts at creating a creepy atmosphere.
i remember the first time watching the ring, had no subtitles so didnt have a clue what was going on, but it freaking scared the crap out of me.
i want to play a game where i get scared just walking down a corridor. silent hill was great at door and had great mindfuck moments where you know the next room is dangerous and you jest feel scared and ddont want to go there.

@kratoscar

in a way they made a good job tying it in with the series, but you could tell that decision was made quite abit into development. i think many peope would have prefered it if it wasnt tied into silent hill. but i guess if it wasnt tied to the series then no one would have played the game.

one bad thing about the game though was that it kept on reminding me of 'being john malkovich' which took a little of the horror aspect away from the game

KrimsonKody4206d ago

Don't forget about the missing footage,
particularly the 2.+secs. that was cut from the 'rape' scene.

tack1294206d ago

That was fixed in the latest patch.

rawshack4206d ago

Silent hill 4 wasn't that bad just different .i like it a lot better then the newer ones that have come out .that Panopticon prison was I found really interesting

Warriors Orochi PSP Review - JTM Games

"Warriors Orochi is one of the more entertaining games to come out for the PSP. People who’ve played the Dynasty/Samurai Warriors series have always wondered what would happen if these worlds would collide; and Koei delivers by mahshing the two brands together into one meaty package."
