Silent Hill Origins(PS2) and you
Madame Deficit | 3:32 PM on 03.23.2008 10 comments



There is nothing right about this game. It was created as the fifth game in the Silent Hill set but isn't meant to be a "final" game. It actually is meant to help people who have never played BEFORE! the previous four games. Here's a good question, WHY ARE YOU RELEASING IT NOW THEN!!!????

The game was originaly created for PSP, that version, however doesn't fail at life. Whoever had the bright idea to port this game should be shot. The graphics are shit, the character and story line are off, the monsters aren't in anyway at all fun to fight, and worst of all... ITS A PUZZLE STYLE GAME!

Your main character is a truck driver whos parents died at a young age. He is making a trip through Silent Hill to drop off a delivery. He sees a burining house and goes to investigate, there finding Alessa[the girl who burns alive].

For those of you who have see nthe movie and played one through four you already know that story. This game changes the original story. Everything has been changed and its not even worth using as a door stop.

Yeah, it sucks (On the PS2).

OH GOD, MY REFLECTION IS SEIZING OUT

The movie changed the story quite a bit if I'm not mistaken. Is this game supposed to be based off what happened in the movie, or in the actual SH storyline that the games have been following?
Madame Deficit's Destructoid Blog
Well yea the movie did change alot too but no, this game doesn't have really anything to do with either the games or movie. It seems more like they tried to take BOTH and make a game which was a bad idea since one was different from the other.

It has a lot to do with the games; and the movie is not canon at all, so complaining that the game doesn't follow the movie is pointless.

The only problem I had with Origins is that it seems to suggest that the Mirror world has existed for a long, long time; when in fact, it only recently came into existence directly because of Alessa's torture in the Hospital basement.


...and why are you complaining that the game is "A PUZZLE STYLE GAME". All the Silent Hills are like that. In fact, pretty much all Horror games are exactly like that. Find items, figure out what you need to do with them, and then do it. If you know you don't like those kinds of games, why did you even start playing this?

thank you Gen.

You can't call this a good Silent Hill game. It shits all over a closed plotline.

This is also the reason why I don't have high hopes for Silent Hill 5. The story is over, everyone go home.

Hai, Chief sent me here or he would rape me.

Kidding, but anyway, I thought it was kinda pointless to rant the game because it's a prequel (your first paragraph), since many games has done that like Devil May Cry 3, Metal Gear Solid 3, etc etc.

And for what I have heard, the storyline isn't as good as the other ones.

Also, welcome to Dtoid!
Gen Eric Gui's Destructoid Blog
I never said it was good. I'm saying it's not BAD for the reasons that were cited. It's bad because it contradicts how the Mirror world was formed, and because the combat was fucked up. Disposable weapons are a good idea on paper, but the way they were implemented was just trash. They tried to make the game too combat focused because of the disposable weapons system, and it just didn't feel scary as much as "oh lawd another nurse".


But claiming that the game was bad because it didn't follow the completely non-canon movie plot is silly. Complaining that it has NOTHING to do with the plot is also silly. And complaining that you solve puzzles in it is just, to be frank, retarded.

My main point, though hard for me to get out at the time of typing this was mainly that those things annoied me. It, in my opinion wasn't as good as the other ganes.

My reference to the movie was merely that it was out and some of the things I encountered were similar[still my opinion].

As far as the puzzles go, I don't have a problem with puzzle games I just wish they were more fun and instead of it being OH NO ANOTHER PUZZLE! it was YAY MORE PUZZLES! I liked the other puzzles in the other games much better than this one. My way of typing out my anger was screwed up and I see that I made points that didn't need to be made.

I apologize for that. Yet still this game was a let down for me.
