I kept waiting for you guys to go inside the dance studio, but you never did.  There's two insane cancers there and I always imagine they're all tuckered out from ballet practice when Heather enters.  I feel like Team Silent decided to put the story on hold for the first couple of hours of the game because the reveal would actually be pretty easy to guess if they dropped any more hints about it. Especially since Silent Hill 3 got advertised as a direct sequel to the first game. (spoilers only to the newest vid, just in case someone ends up on this page first before watching it) It's pretty sloppy writing to be honest.

If you need justification for why Heather's stomps do poo poo damage, just assume it's because she has like 50-60 lbs. less stompin' weight than Harry or James.

I agree with Kyle, Shark Tank is really good. But then again I'm a security management BBA so begging people for money is quite relevant.

Somethingdumb posted:Yeah, here's the google image search for nutcracker I'm kinda with you on this cause that's what I thought it was too, but it's literally the only name for the tool. The nut cracker itself isn't a wrench, it's a tool that's used with a wrench.   So what you do is you put the thing that you want to crack into that spikey death trap then tighten it with the wrench until it breaks. Also you could totally use it to crack a walnut so that's bullshit. edit: vvv Oh man, it is totally a nut splitter. Well I take back the crap about it being the only name for it then.

They are actually most commonly known as nut splitters, but yes, nut cracker is a perfectly acceptable name for them. Here's an example: http://www.chain-auto-tools.com/general_auto_tools/AMR713L.htm

I know those as nut removers, particularly for broken nuts that wouldn't work with a wrench. anyway, I think its fair to say that based on how fringe a tool that is and on how weird SH is, they definitely were talking about a classic nutcracker.

Since you guys are wondering about it at the start of the episode: The Good+ ending of Silent Hill 1 is not canon, just the regular Good one; the Kaufmann sidequest is because of the stuff it revolves around but saving Cybil is unfortunately not. I don't remember where it was made clear, it might have been in this game! This episode is 40 minutes long so if you figure it out somewhere in here, my apologies. Alternate explanation: The UFO ending is always canon. Always.

We may have raised your expectations a little too high on this one. Well, at least this is the point where the story really picks up. I don't see what's so likable about Harry as a protagonist, he's a super boring character. The only remarkable thing about him is he's from the first game.

Your playthrough makes me ashamed at how highly I thought of Silent Hill 3 in recollection. I'm going to blame the dog for you guys just casually jogging through these locations whereas I was always frightened of what was around the corner. Any thoughts on SH2 however, aside from it being "the door checking game," are entirely your fault.  I agree Harry was the best protag.

The games work better when you're a teenager, see also: Slenderman. (and also not talking about star wars with your cousin after a decade's worth of improvements in the design of videogame graphics and controls and playing all three games within two years time but that goes without saying)

I'd say story-wise Silent Hill 3 is easily the weakest out of the four original Silent Hill games (before they switched development teams). Four takes the cake when it comes to irritating gameplay, but I found it to actually be the most engaging on story level. Silent Hill 3 works the best as a series of weird set pieces that you gawk that, and a lot of that is lost when you speed through the environments talking about reality television. Obviously it can't be helped if you're not into that in the first place.

Despite my avatar, I have to agree. Silent Hill 3 on a visual level is as crazy as the PS2-era games ever get. The monsters are gross and the setpieces are either also gross or totally bonkers depending on where you are. On a plot level it's a little bit subdued (by which I mean, the plot really jumps up on you the closer you get to the end). The gameplay is overall an improvement over Silent Hill 2, but like the guys complained about, Heather's stomp not killing downed monsters is a pretty damning change to the combat.

I never played SH4 (or any of the ones after) because I saw that trailer...and then it came out and everybody said it sucked and you repeat the same levels over and over again. My expectations sort of imploded on themselves so it just never held interest after that. And also I didn't own a PS2. I played SH3 on a fat PS3...then it broke, I bought another PS3, and it wasn't able to play PS2 games anymore.  So that's my story. Maybe Kyle/Keith will play SH4 so I never have to but I'm not sure there's any point as it's where the series started sucking. turtlecrunch fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Jan 29, 2014 |

I wouldn't take the money because I'd assume I'd be punished for it. Like the Cave of Wonders, only instead of wonders it's sentient meat monsters wearing go-go boots.

quakster posted:The games work better when you're a teenager, see also: Slenderman. I cannot vouch for the impact of Star Wars discussions with cousins, but I did play all four Team Silent games within the past two years and am indeed no longer a teenager, and I think the impact of age is overemphasized. The things I had problems with in the games (the triteness of the cult plot in general; the excessive obtuseness with which 1's plot is relayed; the lack of logic in many of 3's puzzles on Hard mode; the emphasis on combat in 3; 3's pacing issues; 4's gameplay issues) aren't really the result of the games aging badly - they're mostly the result of decisions that would be considered bad both then and now. (The odd voice/cutscene direction is perhaps a different story, but that didn't quite bother me as much as the aforementioned issues.) Supersonic Buddha posted:I don't see what's so likable about Harry as a protagonist, he's a super boring character. He's kind of charming in his gormless doofiness ("what a wheelchair why would" etc.), and he's driven by love for his daughter, which is a rather refreshing motive for an everyman game protagonist and just kind of  in general. Er, that love is not very well-articulated in events next episode, but still.ETA: VV Being in my thirties, I'm probably one of the older people in the thread.

You generally become more jaded as you get older. I gotta hype up myself and be mildly sleep deprived to get the intended reaction out of Silent Hill these days.

While I'll hold to Silent Hill 2 being the best of the bunch, SH3 actually works really loving well as a sequel and gives the previous Silent Hill story a lot more depth. I think the cinematography in 3 is the best the franchise pulls off, and the off-kilter story and dialog actually convalese into a strangely coherant fable. It's bizarre in a lot of weird places, but 3 is by far the most memorable of the bunch to me--it lacks the focus of 2, but gains a lot better imagery as a result. Plus I really like Heather as a protagonist.
