Why is this walking simulator so highly praised?
It not even good at being a walking simulator. He walks slow af and you cant even see where you are going with all the fog around you. I have to open the map to see where I am facing so I can walk in the right direction.

Saying stuff like this just makes it seem like you have to disparage everything else to make it seem better. SH2 does some things very very well. So do other games. SH2 has some gameplay flaws and it's okay to admit that too.

My first time playing SH2 I struggled to appreciate it because I thought the gameplay was too bad to let me enjoy it much. It was only after replaying it and the gameplay becoming less of a factor when some parts of it hit me. It's possible OP is the same way.

No, there is just too much fog to see anything that is more than 2 feet from my face. If I am standing in the middle of a road, I have no idea whats around me. And if I can't see my surroundings, it's difficult to see where my character should go.

OP is clearly bait but I have to say I do think the game is pretty over rated. The first hour or so is god tier but then you realize most of the game takes place indoors in identical locations and theres only 1 type of enemy. The pyramid head boss fights are fucking trash too.

The Silent Hill games were never big because of their gameplay. They were big because they did horror correctly and, for the time, were something completely new. Your options for horror back then were basically Resident Evil or Silent Hill. SH focused more on horror while RE focused more on survival gameplay.

SH2 still has a very good story but OP is too much of a retard and dickhead to get something with some nuance to it and it's clear he's already hostile towards the game.

So I see you've only played the first 5 minutes of the game and needed to make a sweeping statement about the whole game and didn't talk about much of the story, combat, different levels, mechanics, etc. What are some better walking simulators for the PS2 that you can recommend?
However, the fog effects are utilized to hide the poor draw distance that the hardware can't really handle, especially in PS2 titles. See any Dynasty Warrior games of that time.

not relevant to thread as SH2 was completely detached from SH1/3's story and had different "lead devs" and directors (which makes me think you didn't play it and you're just spouting kneejerk opinions)
From what I watched on SH2 behind the scenes video the director had a pretty clear vision from the start, and from what I played in the game it is pretty coherent artistically
>The best part is all the fan theories were crushed by the lead dev on Twitter

You want my honest opinion instead of appealing to the oldfags? Alright, it's like I said in the other post. I hate inventory management and backtracking in games; that's why I hate RE, too.
I actually liked the story in SH2. The problem is that you could cut out the gameplay and you would lose almost none of the story. You can tell that James feels guilty for killing his terminally ill wife, and the entity that controls Silent Hill decided to lure him in and punish him for it from watching the opening and ending cutscenes. That's not good enough to be a game, a movie, or even a short story, and it only gets the level of praise it does because most gamers don't have the attention span to read a book or sit through a movie

>I actually liked the story in SH2. The problem is that you could cut out the gameplay and you would lose almost none of the story.
I'd argue that you would lose a big part of it, James's journey IS part of the story, and your actions actually influence how guilty or not guilty he feels and what he decides to do in the end (endings are all determined by how the player feels about Maria and Mary) - the entities you see, the dialogues with characters you encounter do serve to explain and expose the plot.
>That's not good enough to be a game, a movie, or even a short story, and it only gets the level of praise it does because most gamers don't have the attention span to read a book or sit through a movie
Have to agree, but this is the case for ALL games - No matter how good a story in a game is a book/movie with the same story will always be better, it's always a compromise between gameplay and story which always ends up hindering one or the other - if you really want to focus on a story, just make a book/movie.
My favorite game of all time would be Deus Ex, which I feel has a decent story and manages to balance it out well with the gameplay - but the praise story of DX1 gets always makes me laugh because books/movies made 20 years before it blow it the fuck out of water - hell, those books even crush modern 100% QTE games from Naughty Dog - no matter how innovative a game's story is books already did it ages ago
DX1 in fact is just a mash of conspiracy theories that only feels good because it feels alive in the game - you can uncover the lore at your own pace through newspapers, datacubes, eavesdropping on characters - it just meshes well with gameplay - if you took the gameplay out it's a shitty sci fi flick that would be published in a pulp magazine and be forever forgotten.

it’s genuinely scary in a way where you can feel dread from the sounds or the threat of pyramid head or the unknown of going out into a dark area. few games have ever been able to pull this off as well, and so effectively that t can make you feel afraid even playing it a second or third time. i was freaked out playing this during the day when it came out. played it repeatedly over the years and still get creepy vibes. that in itself is a thing that can make a game memorable, that it has a real effect on you. scarier than any movie i’ve seen. not for everyone. just a game. whine elsewhere, dork

>it’s genuinely scary
Nowhere in the OP did I say it wasn't. I only criticized the gameplay.
And if the gameplay is shit on purpose, to make you more scared, it is like admitting the game isn't scary on its own.
I was playing STALKER before starting SH2 and that feels more scary even if there is broad daylight, no fog, inventory better than the military, and your character being able to see clearly while having full control of camera and walking at normal speeds.

Calling it a walking simulator is bullshit. Combat might be clunky but exploring, fighting enemies, solving puzzles, and conserving and managing healing and resources is all functional and fairly enjoyable.

The real draw is of course the atmosphere, the story, the music, etc.

>bUt whY iSN't iT A MOviE tHEn?????

Because the "decent" gameplay servers to immerse you in that atmosphere. It's something only games can do.

Semi unrelated but personally I think Silent Hill 1 had the best gameplay. I really like all the "running away from hordes of monsters in the open town" areas. The tank controls feel more natural and make more sense in those scenarios where you're just jogging to save your life, and Harry has some nice nuances to his movement like stumbling if you hit a wall, which both makes it feel very kinetic and also adds to the gameplay. That being said I don't think any of the Silent Hills are bad gameplay-wise, though the gameplay is never quite as good as Resident Evil's resource-management dungeon-routing or Fatal Frame's actually twitchy but still scary combat.

>you don't hear much about it's god awful combat
the combat is supposed to be limited and shit. You're not supposed to go around the town killing everything with ease, many games fall down this path and it diminishes the horror aspect. You're mainly supposed to avoid combat and only use it when you need to, that's also why ammo is pretty limited from what I remember.
>terrible bosses
what about them is bad?
>long ass walking simulator segments
the entire game is a walking simulator, that's literally the point. You're supposed to explore the town and take in the atmosphere while searching for things. This is like complaining a point and click adventure game has too much clicking.
The story is also unironically kino and I prefer it much more over the generic le evil cult aspect of the other games.
There's no cult, just your thoughts and the town.

>> No.10665060

>>10665039
The combat is worse than it is in 1 because 2 has pretty much the same enemy type throughout the entire game.

>and I prefer it much more over the generic le evil cult aspect of the other games.
I don't know why fans of 2 can find depth and symbolism in everything but not see past the cult in the other games. The cult just ties everyone and everything together. 1 has just as much symbolism and depth to it. Alessa's story is tragic and barring the obviously supernatural stuff not impossible.

Summing up the other games as le evil cult is the same as someone saying 2 is just magic therapy town. Both claims are stupid and just make you seem like you have a grudge against the other games for daring to take away attention from your personal favorite of the series.

>> No.10665074

>>10665060
I don't hate the other games, I just prefer horror where the threat isn't something you can properly conceptualize. That's why even in movies like the first alien, the threat is off-screen for 90% of the film and it's mainly your imagination running wild. The second game is very similar, but there's no actual larger threat other than the town itself your thoughts. This is also why 2 is very much a standalone game. It's more of a spin-off type situation than it is an actual part of the larger story.

Saying that 2's story is kino and the rest are "le evil cult" is disparaging and dismissive. It's fine to have a favorite and I know the Reddit Hill 2 shitposter stirs up trouble but you don't need to put the other games down to have a favorite either.

Anyway, the cult is there and present in the other games but there's still so much other stuff happening that it's more of a personal problem if you can't see anything else. If so many fans of SH2 didn't need to put down the other games for daring to have something different about them then maybe more people would be able to appreciate that. All of the characters in the other games go through things that mirror real world tragedies and not being able to see that is a shame.

it's not cope, there's many horror games where there's no combat at all. Silent hill 2 has combat but it's something you do as a last resort, just admit you're a retard that wants to go fighting everything and killing it, in which case horor like this isn't for you.
>spoken like poser who watched a twitter whore play the game and did not experience the game himself to comprehend how shitty the bosss fights are
all you can do is post memes and accusing everyone of not playing the game kek. Yes i have played it, quite a few times on original hardware and then later on pc too. The boss fights are fine, you still didn't give a reason why what you just stated was bad. You're literally not supposed to be able to kill pyramid head, which ties into the first point I made and you're too autistic to get.
The fact that you don't kill him at the end of the game either is further proof of this.
the rest of ur post is still u coping without being able to give any actual reasons other than being a retard basedbot while accusing everyone else of being one.

3 has always been my favorite SH game so I don't really mind the "reddit hill 2" meme, but what bothers me about this thread is the arrogance and sheer retardation of the OP. This kid reeks of /v/ brainrot, typing in nothing but 4chan memes while arrogantly claiming that something is or isnt a game based on his own personal shit tastes. I genuinely enjoy walking around in the dark with a flashlight, only fighting when necessary, but to OP that is bad gameplay, and is somehow a reflection of my tastes and IQ. I don't understand why enjoying flashlight simulators is a bad thing, when they are mostly about atmosphere. If I want to shoot stuff I will play a shooter, if I want to play an action game, I will play an action game. If I want to wander around in the dark with a flashlight, I will play a flashlight simulator. OP you would do yourself a big favor by getting off the internet for a while.

In your long ass paragraph, you yourself called SH2 a walking simulator several times but you were ok with it and loved it. Why did you think me calling SH2 a walking simulator was a blasphemy while you are perfectly ok with calling it the same.

I am not the guy who is calling SH2 "reddit hill 2". I just said the gameplay was shit. I haven't finished the game so can't really comment on the story or the "artistic merits" you stans have been raving about. I have a hunch he is right.

In other words, they're interactive movies for pseuds that hate video games? Good to see where the pinpoint origin for the absolute state of modern gaming is; people shitting on platformers like Mario Sunshine and DK64, and putting trash like Silent Hill and Fatal Frame on a pedestal.
