i remember really loving it the first time i played it

but then after replaying the SH series years later, i realized it wasn't nearly as good as i thought it was. still decent though.

Origins is like a bad fan fic.

What little plot was completely predictable plus they ruined Lisa from SH 1
Monsters were uninspired
The mirror world felt more like a gimmick

At least the music was good.

The areas were way to big and you can to guess if you needed to go back into the warrior world or not at times as well as the story being pretty awful while for some reason going with the dead rising use everything as a weapon thing which was dumb for an SH game especially when your fists can stuck lock everything.

Great is REALLY pushing it, but it is a good lil game. Worse than 1-3, but still good.

Story is shit though.

But I enjoyed playing through it. Fourth best Silent Hill. Fifth worst Silent Hill.

That's gamers for pretty much everything. Just be glad you're not infected by the expectations virus like them. You can enjoy something for what it is, instead of hate it for what it isn't. It's a much more rewarding mindstate

It's not great but its okay

I think thats the problem. Just being "ok" makes it super forgettable

Is that the one about the truck driver? I enjoyed it immensely.

Got so quick with it I could legit beat the game in like 1 or 2 hours or some shit.

Yea it was the truck driver one and you could probably do it in about 2 hours with enough practice and actually knowing when the fuck to change worlds.

The driver had no reason to stick around which was a problem for the story, but not nearly as immersion breaking as having an inventory full of heavy ass tube televisions you're saving to nuke bosses.

Yeah, but smashing a TV over somebody's head is always funny.

I enjoyed the game when I played it, but it definitely wasn't on par with the original games. I'd still take it over Homecoming every day of the week.

I wish Silent Hill: Origins was on Steam so I can finish it. My PS2 broke down while I was playing it. I only got to the spiral mommy boss.
