The game is pretty good until you realize you have to go back to the same shitty levels you already beat but now it's a fucking escort mission

It had the most inspired themes in the series.

Walter was the best antagonist in the series, the whole apartment is amazing, really liked the ghosts and the disgusting atmosphere of the game. Eileen is also top qt.

Everything except the the woods and the subway. The appartment and prison are genius design.

I'll give you the subway since I thought SH3 did it better but the woods were pretty good. It could get a little confusing in some areas though.

worse thing about the game is the protag, dont even remember his name he was such a bland faggot that had nothing to do with the story besides WHOOPS I MOVED INTO THE WRONG APARTMENT. people always respond to me saying this with "walter was the real protag" ... yea thats what they should have done. would have been a much more interesting game playing as walter.
going from harry/james/heather to this faggot was cancer

>hating on based Henry
what...the...hell

Henry is great. Leave him alone you bully.

To this day, no game has fucked with me as hard as Silent Hill 4 fucked with me by taking my safe haven, the apartment, which was safer and even more of a haven than the Resident Evil safe rooms ever were, and haunting them.

It wasn't a retread of 2 like everything after it

It was a nice change of setting, something more like Siren, but it was not good level design and I love Nowhere. Also, a very big problem with SH4 levels is the lack of polish and detail in comparison with the previous games. That make areas like the woods and the city look cool at first but turn boring really fast with no incentive for exploration.

Henry behaves almost as autistic as Harry, without "have you seen a little girl" lines. The only difference is that the SH1 cast of characters really carry the story.

Any way to improve the textures? They are far worse than SH3

I really liked Henry because his blandness actually has relevance to the plot. And he's also literally me.

Almost everything.

You are complete retard, m8.

The only flaws I can think of is the awful sound choices for some parts like the dogs and burping nurses. I get what they were going for with the 2nd half backtrack. You spend the first time through taking it easy, picking up keys and talking to eventual murder victims so when you come back shit gets real. You're now desperately trying to escort this girl who's already fucked up, your safe room isn't safe anymore and you got ghosts beating your ass every second of the way. It's very effective at increasing the tension. Problem is, you have to go through EVERY level basically in their entirety which is just a little bit too much.

Aside from that it's solid. The worst criticism you can give it is "it's not as good as 1-3," which isn't a real critique anyway. They tried something different instead of just trying to make 2 again which I appreciate.

>Lend the game to a "friend" at school
>Never got it back

I'm at fault

Anyone have the silent hill on PC and emulator settings image?

lmao Henry is a Yas Forums poster

Fantastic atmosphere.

>no friends
>no girlfriend
>alone all day doing something in his room
>kept his powerlevels to himself
it checks out

The sound design is baffling. Dont understand why they opted in using so much stock shit.

Nah, people actually noticed when he went missing. Sure, it took a few weeks, but they noticed.

>replay all the levels twice
>that voice acting
>only interesting enemy are the double babies
>BURPING FUCKING NURSES WHY
>One "boss" besides the final "boss"
>Ghosts aren't fucking scary
>fucking Subway levels
>That combat, jesus christ
>Inventory management
>Not even in SH most of the game

The weird part is that I remember Akira Yamaoka was the producer of SH4 and the sound design has such weird choices like when you find the Cynthia dying in the subway and Room of Angel starts playing.

Akira was the most overrated member of the team desu

What's wrong with burping nurses? They are creppier than sh2 sexy nurses. Im fact:

SH1 parasite nurses>SH4 burping nurses>SH3 bubblehead nurses> SH2 sexy nurses

Ang invincible ghosts that wont stop following you are fucking scaring

Not really but I don't know why they gave him roles outside of music design.

Fuck me, I just look this up on ebay because I want to play it. Why is it so expensive?

SH4 nurses had a great design, but the burps ruined them. Also, bubbleheads were in SH2, SH3 nurses were just straight up women with weird posture.

The ost is incredible, the graphics are amazing for it's time, "self-insert" no personality main character kind of works, girls are fucking hot, antagonist is incredible, atmosphere is great, genuinely unnerving in comparison to other SH's

It definitely stands on it's own

I really want to finish this game but holy shit everytime I start and go to this fucking subway to fight these boring ghosts, I just give up. I hate this shitty subway and backtracking

The game is seriously flawed and I won't have people come on here and say it's an amazing game
You have serious nostalgia and need to sort it out
Just because it's better than every SH game that came out after doesn't make it better than a 7/10

If it weren't for the backtracking this game would've been 10/10 for me, I don't mind the escorting or the burping nurses, they are kind unsettling.

>They are creppier than sh2 sexy nurses.
Wow that's a bad opinion
