Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
16 years ago
General
You know, I dont listen when people say something about something. I check it out myself because lots of times people have been wrong, or at least wrong about how I would like something. This was very true with Silent Hill Origins. I LOVED Origins, though lots of people didnt like it at all. It was the first SH game to get a legitiment scare out of me since SH2.
Now, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is another game I anticipated and people said sucks. I didnt listen. It's a sorta remake of the first game and a remake that DIDNT follow the first game exactly is what I want cus I've played SH1 so much, I wanted soemthing different. Well, having just played the game for about 2 hours, I can say that the game itself is pretty good. So far, Im liking what I see. Except for one little thing...
When it turns to nightmare mode (icy cold "hell") it's really awesome, but that's when the monsters come out and GODDAMN, you can't fucking kill the goddamn motherfucking cocksucking monsters, you can only run from them. Now, as a scare tactic, I can see where they were going with this, it's pretty intense when there are monsters around. BUT FUCK, YOU HAVE TO SHAKE THEM OFF USING THE FUCKING WIIMOTE, THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM, YOU ARE JUST RUNNING PRACTICALLY AIMLESSLY THROUGH, TRYING TO FUCKING SURVIVE. It's fucking BULLSHIT. The game would be pretty good if not for this whole FUCKING way of handling monsters. I mean, the design of the hellworld, though in ice, is fucking awesome to look at, but you dont get a chance cus you're too fuckign busy dealing with BULLSHIT from all these goddamn fucking monsters that cling to you, you shake them off (which is NOT easy; you have to "throw" them with both the nunchuck and wiimote in the same direction; sounds easy, but it's ASS)
The people who decided this was how the monsters should be handle SHOULD BE STERILIZED.
I'm pissed off mainly cus it's a game from a series I love, and have loved since there was only 1 game.
This is most pissed I've EVER been from a game and it's a strange feeling. I'm so fucking pissed right now. Believe me, I NEVER get like this. This game just fucking DOES that.

i had a chance to check out this game at some friends' house while having zero background knowledge of the series. I got to see the game from the mall to the end (i was pretty damn confused, and later realized that this game is excruciatingly abstract).
but i totally agree with you. the whole having to shake the monsters of your ass looks like it would get really annoying. The least the developers could have done would be to give you some kind of melee object!
