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?
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.
@ Gen Eric Gui
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!
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.
*games* sorry my typing sucks ass
