I can understand if your favorite type of horror is the one that games like RE does, but SH at first was NEVER made to be another campy survival horror game. Sure it was asked to be like that, but the creators preferred to take an approach into psychological horror, and the use of imagery.

What makes the original SH games so beloved by many is the atmosphere, the music, the stuff that can be left to interpretation, the uncanniness of it all, amongst other things.

All of that is what makes people say SH2 is a top tier game feeling clunky, slow, and repetitive to a point. SH was never about the gameplay. The fact that every non-Team Silent SH game was basically trying to replicate 2 and 3 is part of why theyre never talked about.
