The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh

>> No.4823570

>>4823552
Never really understood what that's supposed to mean.
Anyway.

The first Silent Hill I played was 2, because everyone told me it was the best.
After playing SH1, though, I do believe the first installment is the best one.
The atmosphere the first game creates is unmatched.

I believe most people prefer SH2 just because it's a bit less clunky and the graphics are better.

I played them in order when I was a kid and 2 felt more melancholy and i was a bit disappointed
was a also expecting an actual sequel to 1 instead of a standalone story
too bad I can't say 1 and 3 are my favourites without being called a hipster nowadays

I played 2 first and then 3. Loved the fuck out of them.

Tried 1 several times but just couldn't deal with the horrid tank controls and blocky graphics with warping polygons. Can Minecraft like graphics create a horror atmosphere? lmao

Also played like a half or a third of 4, but dropped it as it was nothing like the previous games and I wasn't enjoying myself. Supposedly 4 is an unrelated project that got rebranded as a SH game quite late in the development.

And then some unrelated teams made some more SH games but at that point I just didn't care. In my mind SH is the duology of 2+3.

Would've been interesting if the let you switch between perspectives right from the start
wonder why they abandoned the idea for future games? Did the technology not allow it?

I figure it boils down to "if you hate bloodshed then you'll truly hate man" or the living or something along those lines

I played SH1 first then 2 then 4, then years later 3 and shattered memories and I honestly enjoyed most of them except SH2 which just gave me a headache whenever I was in the streets

Fear of the blood = Fear of the vital forces that flow within you, your emotions, pain, etc

Fear of the flesh = Scared of life, living, etc

If you're afraid of that which makes you human that flows through you, you'll be afraid of life as such.

You're kinda right, but honestly it never looked like those things were turning because of actual wind. It always felt to me like they were turning by themselves.
Silent hill definitely made spinning things disturbing to me though, now I can't even look at a ceiling fan without it seeming ominous.

if you bleed you're already hurt, fear of blood is the fear of injury, flesh is what bleeds, to fear flesh is to fear the ability to feel pain before the pain itself.

Traditional survival horror games — with tank controls, fixed camera angles, and cryptic adventure-type puzzles — are too quirky, too clunky, and too demanding for today’s overly coddled players. Plus the industry is losing its appetite for big-budget cinematic experiences when they can make way more money selling virtual items in F2P multiplayer games.
