Wich "otherworld transformation" do you like the most?

[Gradon]

Ahh, absolutely disturbingly disgusting in a good way!!!
It reminds me of the room is Fatal Frame 2, you go in, its clausophobic, the door locks, and the walls just light with Japanese symbols with a box slightly open. Fucking scary shit.
Excuse my langauge.

Anyways, about Silent Hill 4: The Room...Im phasmophobic, so I can't even play the game.
Yes I scream everytime I see a ghost on FF, but atleast THEY FUCKING DIE.
Weres SH4's ghosts cant die, and later you're not even safe, so, I can't play it, its too scary.

What's Phasmophobic?
It sucks that you can't play it, but honestly... I'd love to play a game that scared me that much.

[Gradon]

Phobia against ghosts or paranormal activity.
Fatal Frame is bad enough, but ghosts that dont die, AND THEM COMING WHEN YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE SAFE ROOM.
I'd rather not complete it then go through that torture, I have to admit, Ive never had a game so scary I dont want to play it.

And the fact that hauntings happen, Im afraid to even admit ghosts are most likely real; if I saw a ghost I would most likely faint on the dot, the idea scares me and if I think about it too much, I get paranoid a ghost might be around me and I suddenly go cold and start to get afraid.
MINI EDIT: I can't even play a ghost game on my own.

[Biohazard EX]

What about having a friend who's less scared play it for you? Just so that you aren't immersed quite AS much?

[Gradon]

That could work, but my brothers dont play games anymore, and I dont know anyone who likes horror games.
Though, my oldest brother likes Silent Hill, and hes only played and completed the original...
If hes not working, I'll make him play all games haha.

[Biohazard EX]

There ya go.
Man, I wish I was afraid of rotting corpses, Resident Evil would be a blast.

Yes, who can forget the mirror room in SH3? Haha.

That was great! I felt like SH3 was a game that didn't like the player, you see this in: the mirror room; when you are in the shopping and you try to see wats in a toilet, and shes about to do it, but doesn't, and says something like: "thats grose! who could even think abaut doing that!" and she looks directlly to the screen, like making fun of you; then there are does rooms wich have monsters and nothing more, that was weird for me, I tend to explore EVERYTHING in games, and having to kill/avoid them was pretty anoying

[Biohazard EX]

Well, she looks at you because in SH2, if you choose to do so, James DOES reach into the toilet and take out a wallet. So she's half making fun of James. But since you're the one who controls James, she is in a way making fun of you.

I think there was a more vague reference about it in SH4. Something like, "A toilet. I'm not going to reach in there." Or something of the sort. No special cutscene for it, but still.

[Canas Renvall]

Don't they make the reference in Homecoming, too? I thought I read about it somewhere.

[Biohazard EX]

Unfortunately I haven't checked every toilet in Homecoming.

I think I haven't got to that part in SH4, or are you saing the toilet in the bathroom of the apartment (Room 302)?

you sir are not a professional sercher-explorer as myself
hahahahahahahaha, naaa, just kiding

[Biohazard EX]

I can't remember which toilet it was. Might've been in the Subway...

[Guest]

Yeah! but didn't even notice, as you sead, it was nothing important he sead, it was just like serching through other uselles things

The first Silent Hill had the best otherworld. Everything was there for a reason, and everything had significance in relation to Alyssa, be it where you were in the town, the enemies you had to fight, the items you collected and the state of the environment.

It also had an atmosphere that no other Silent Hill game has properly been able to recreate, which I believe Siren Blood Curse does very well. Perhaps it's the Toyama touch? Who knows?

The otherworld of Silent Hill 3 was also pretty fantastic, a lot of nice pieces here and there, but I always felt that it dragged on too long and became uncomfortable to play. As for Silent Hill 4, there was no real otherworld, and Silent Hill 2 was much the same, it was only really darkness. Anything that could be considered "Otherworld" was all in James' head, as in the real hotel, the prison and such.

[Biohazard EX]

You know, for someone who has so much insight on Silent Hill, it's pretty sad that you misspelled Alessa. XD
