    to expand on the Tomm Hulett thing, the channel "TheGrateDebate" has two videos and an interview on his experience with konami, the silent hill games, and angry silent hill internet nerds. here's on of the videos: czcams.com/video/lQR3SRggiF0/video.html

      @@eandjproductions2 TheGrateDebate might as well as been Tomm's overprotective relatives, because not a damn thing in their vids about Tomm sounded unbiased. I didn't believe a damn thing about Tomm "I'll never admit my mistakes and blame everyone else" Hulett. 😂🤣😆

      @LukasRocks001 Před 5 lety +12

      TP had a hororible attitude and they're a bunch of assholes (Except for Fungo who got fucked over but had the last laugh), but GrateDebate went out of their way to paint Hullet as a poor misguided fan who had no control over anything. The guy sucked as a producer and made tons of bad decisions. TP did blame him on a lot of stuff that wasn't his fault (like the casting choices for the HD Collection which didn't go through him), but the guy went out of his way to keep hiring and working with people who absolutely sucked at writing SH games, and put his own fanfiction into the official lore of the series with BoM.
      I get that being a contrarian who think he's above it all and making fun of nerdrage is in right now, but you'd have to be a complete dumbass to believe Tomm's account that he was jusst a poor guy trying to do his best. He fucked up a lot, and turning him into a martyr is just ridiculous.

      You’ve Killed The Saint In Me
      I liked it when I was 16 but after a while I realized that it just isn’t a good game. Frame drops, mostly terrible enemy design, terrible story, horrible puzzles, game breaking bugs, loading screen spoilers,and hilariously terrible “good combat”
      I mean, holy shit the game tells you that your character is an ex soldier so he knows how to do sick weapon combos. THEN the game goes “we fooled you! You were actually in an insane asylum!”
      So not only are you not a soldier, there’s absolutely no reason he should know how to fight at all. He was a sheltered teen that went into asylum until he was an adult.
      The game actually tells you what the enemies names are which is a big No no in silent hill games. I don’t want to run into an enemy and go “Oh no! It’s a smog!”
      Oh also you know what enemies are great for a finale in a silent hill game?
      HUMANS!! THE DEADLIEST OF PREY!
      All in all it’s a 5/10

    • @itsfatdaddyson4616
      @itsfatdaddyson4616 Před 5 lety +2

      Ehh I guess it is mostly nostalgia cause it was my first silent hill game, but silent hill has GREAT uses of fighting actual people, Eddie from silent hill 2 was my favorite though. I always liked the character (no homo) and felt bad for him and was sad that he lost it and had to kill him because I always thought him and James could become great friends in silent hill but all and all they did a great job on his character and fight imo

    • @roguespartan345
      @roguespartan345 Před 5 lety +3

      You’ve Killed The Saint In Me
      Oh I totally get that, Eddie is GREAT his quick fall into insanity and disassociated direction of blaming other people for his problems “that dog deserved it! Hahaha, chewed it’s own guts out before it died!”
      But fighting a bunch of faceless goons kinda just takes all the oomph out of a “Silent Hill” game ya know?
      EDIT: I get that since it’s your first silent hill game it would be unlike anything you had played before therefore being something that would stick in your head. I guess since I played them in order of release im just kinda biased towards the older games just being factually better. Other then 4..we don’t talk about the room lol.

    16:43 That was an oversight in this game, in SH3 there is a guy who gets quite upset with Heather and calls her a murderer, she reacts along the lines of "The monsters are trying to kill, I gotta defend myself." He then replies with the most chilling line in any SH, "They look like monsters to you?" This implies that everything in SH is different for everyone at any given time (and the only logical explaination of the little girl survived in SH2).

    My favorite part of Downpour was during an otherworld segment. It was a small part, but people who are familiar with Silent Hill 2, should appreciate it.
    You're running up the stairs to get away from the black hole and it's super reminiscent to a part in Silent Hill 2. It's when you're running down a super long hallway of stairs from the Historical Society to the Labyrinth/Prison. The foghorn is going off and you run for a long time, the foghorn getting louder the closer you get to the bottom to indicate you're going the correct way.
    The first time I played SH2 btw, I ended up going back upstairs when I was already halfway down, thinking I was missing something. After looking back around the small Historical Society, I realised that I could only progress at the bottom of the stairs and had to run for even longer, all the way back down.
    Back to Downpour... I was trained by SH2 to instinctively keep running up the stairs. I ran for about 5 minutes until I thought, "Oh, maybe this is different and I'm supposed to turn back around?" Then I did so and was able to progress the way I came, as the area had changed.
    This really messed with my head and made me laugh at myself. I really felt that this was a purposeful decision in the game design. The team obviously knew how beloved SH2 is to fans and that it's a lot of people's favorite in the series. They also knew the hardcore fans would most likely play Downpour, and in my opinion, I think they did the stairwell bit for the fans. I could be wrong of course but I don't think it was an accident. I really hope it wasn't lol.
    Regardless of whether it was a choice to put that in, or just an accident, it surprised me and made me analyse my nostalgia in a special way to think closer about SH2 and Downpour's game design.
    I simply really love that part.

    It’s nice to see Downpour getting a decent review. It’s not as horrible as people like to say it is. It’s not the best Silent Hill, but it was enjoyable. Plus, the soundtrack is good. Nobody can touch Akira Yamaoka, but Daniel Licht did a great job. Just like he did with Dishonored. And ... Korn. The song Korn did was really good.

    11 minutes in for context. As a big fan of lesser known games I think Downpour doesn't get enough attention. But the way you ramble off small details like someone explaining the finer qualities of that new coffee brew in the shop makes me appreciate all the more the aspects I already liked. Might actually do another run this October now.
    Your attention to minor details shines a light on things I acknowledge but don't focus on. And thus I marvel for a longer stretch of time. Despite relating to nearly every point from memory.
    I wish I could've watched you play this for the first time and heard your observations and experiences with quite a few of the side quests and 1 or 2 of the main areas. In particular, Turn Back Time and The Cinema are some of my favorite moments in a Silent Hill game. Oh and that opening sequence at the title screen is delightful. It's so very well done.
    Either way I'm enamored by your style of reviewing. I'm a heavy lurker so this is a rarity for me. But I hope to see more reviews like this. Thank you for giving Silent Hill Downpour some positive points. I'm sure it's not all good. But it's nice when you sit here in the shadows to have a friendly voice let you know your not completely crazy.

    Imagine the game wasn’t even loosely Silent Hill related.... instant classic.
    I do remember hating the combat. And I definitely threw a lot of important weapons off a cliff. R.I.P. Boating hook. But all in all, I made it through the game multiple times and I do love it. Most prefer the tone and aesthetic of SH, SH3 and Origins, but I like when the town takes on a personality that reflects the main protagonist.

    Everyone can say what they wanna say bout downpour but imo this game is not as bad as they say...I enjoyed it damn much and I know as a great silent hill fan from the beginning...it's not a silent hill like we know it but it has it's moments and it has a great atmosphere...and I must say...the music is great too...like the track when the bus is going to silent hill is damn epic...it describes the hell they are heading at...not knowing what they are up against...and same with Homecoming...I think the horror is very well present and I know the combat system isn't that great but once you get a hold of it it's very handy...the story is realy not that bad and as a pyramid head fan ( I know it represents James from SH2) I must say they did a great job with him here in this game...cause all the things that Alex has done wrong gets punished by pyramid head....wich is a great adding to the game...still gonna say I am still a big fan of the first 3 SH games but let's be honest...at least they tried to create a silent hill game for us fans...that cannot be said from Konami...they don't give a shit about us :( Silent Hill will forever be in our hearts!

    @GuileOhio Před 3 lety +3

    Yooo, I've finally played this game this year, and this review lands really close to what I've felt. City exploration is about as good as it's been on the series, with the side quests you stumble upon being super fun to deal with. The otherworld is not even slightly scary and feels like a theme park ride, sometimes literally. Enemy design is absolute dicks, and the story isn't all that terrible but it's just not morally ambiguous enough to have any weight (oh no, he's wracked with guilt because he... killed the pedophile that killed his son, and didn't kill the mentor figure cop? No, nvm, that's cool with me too). Combat is just not very good, and the last level of the game is pretty much an hour of nonstop combat.
    Not quite up to par with the original SH trilogy, but honestly it's still like a super solid 7, will definitely replay in the future.

    BTW, what you FAILED to mention is that Murphy had broken some law to purposely get into the prison where his son or daughter killer resides in. He pays off a guard off a gaurd to be left alone with the child predator where he kills him. Then he is on a bus being sent to another prison where he gets into a accident in silent hills forest.
    This game had so much potential to be a series horror game. But there are so many glitches..... The same looking Villain AI repeatedly..... When it rains its suppose to be hard and monsters everywhere.... but its laid back.........

    If you have read the 4 part comic run 'Anne's Story' that um, story, is a far more entertaining arch for a Silent Hill tale imo. Especially if you take it from the angle that you don't know that Murphy isn't the man Anne is after. Imagine that as a final choice in the game, after spending all that time getting through Silent Hill to catch and kill your Father's assailant, you are given the choice to kill or spare, where if you kill Murphy well you're damned and never leaving SH, but if you spare him you are given the truth and allowed to then proceed on to Sewell ;)
