I can't wait until you guys figure out that those guys who come out of the weird tar spots in the walls are pretty much invincible. If you want a rule of thumb as to when to run in this game, it's this: floaty human corpse instead of some kind of body horror monster? Cheese it. (Not a story spoiler, but I figured it merits a tag anyway.) Seriously, I can't wait until you figure that out. Because those encounters are going to be super tedious until you do.

Accordion Man posted:Centralia was the main inspiration for the movie adaption, not the games. The games are more inspired by Stephen King and Twin Peaks what with the quiet mountain town in Maine setting. I wasn't sure which it was, but I knew one of the two was inspired by Centralia, which, ironically enough, has graffiti all over it now making references to both the movies and the games

Just wanted to say I've enjoyed your Silent Hill LPs so far and I look forward to seeing y'all get through this one. Here's to a complete LP of SH4!

I wouldn't blame you guys if you decided not to finish this LP, SH4 is quite possibly one of the worst games I've ever had the displeasure of playing (I will concede that it's very atmospheric, though), with some of the very worst design decisions ever implemented in a video game, starting with those loving unbeatable ghosts and their damage aura. Here's a little piece of advice: leave that gun in the apartment, it is so useless as to be just a waste of inventory space.

Oh boy oh boy, this is my favorite Silent Hill. A good thing to know about the combat is that when you do a fully charged up attack you're invincible during the animation. This will save your life later! And be sure to give that bar a call!

This is one of those games that has a bunch of dumb design decisions, but gently caress if it didn't *creep me out*. The only game I remember being spooked more over was Fatal Frame.

I am really enjoying this Cough Button LP so far. You guys really capture the true experience of playing an obtuse adventure game with puzzles that don't make any sense. I am brought fondly back to my youth, pressing A against every pixel in a room because I forgot a dialog that I read 2 hours ago.

something you've most definitely noticed by now is that all of the ghosts are 'unique' in the sense that each one is at least cosmetically different from the others. some of them actually have varying speeds, and i'm pretty sure that the old lady ghost is one of the slower ones. there's one i can think of off the top of my head that's naturally fast and is hard as hell to get away from, but i think he also doesn't appear very often due to not having many spawn zones. they can be sort of a mixed bag. in general i wish that they were just a tiny bit slower overall, especially since some of the combat can already be a little tricky. there's definitely better weapons down the road, though, and one of the best ones is basically impossible to miss. (it's also not breakable. in fact, most weapons aren't breakable. i don't know why they even experimented with it in the first place because the unbreakable ones are still pretty much the best.)

Cyra posted:haha, yep, the fucken rear end in a top hat escalator i'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea. i mean, you can bait out attacks and walk by easily enough if you're pretty careful, but there's like 2x as many wall things as there should be. also, to the lpers, you should definitely try to hoard any and every health item you can get. the game won't start throwing insurmountable amounts of bullshit at you later on or anything, but once you get to a very certain point it's nice to have a bunch of crap stockpiled.

You can beat those monsters to death if you're so inclined. Just be sure to time fully charged attacks right.

That is probably the single biggest bullshit the game has to offer, so if you're clear of that you're more or less good.

Both the Petes look exactly like they did in 1994, and Ellen is still hot. Bobby Budnick is bald and fat, and Ferguson has aged horribly. The Pete and Pete crew came out best of all the Nickelodeon gingers.

as someone who hates it when it gets too warm i can sympathize with whoever didn't want the window to be closed. also, grats on getting past what was possibly the most aggravating and nonsensical segment in the game. gently caress those wall creatures.
