Not just aspects of it, defend it as a good game and entry in the series?

Watching a video about it and the comments are full of people blasting it for being so negative.

I thought it was almost universally agreed upon that the Room was a heavily flawed game and like...flawed beyond the point of being objectively good.

Yeah I like it, the hauntings in the apartment, enemy design, Walter as an antagonist was all great. Its no Silent Hill 2 or 3, but a damn cool horror game.

The later Silent Hill games are generally so awful that 4, which used to be seen as bad, kind of bubbles up to above-average when ranked against the whole series.

I enjoyed it. It's not anywhere in my top 50 list, but I would still recommend it if you enjoyed the former titles.

4s awful on many levels. Its a cool fad to say it was actually good.

No one plays it and the few who do point out its awful.

The entire game is a warning about the psychological trauma and damage circumcision can do to a person

I like the concept but hate the execution.

That said the sound track is absolutely fantastic.

Yes there are. What are you talking about?

If a games not finished, constantly crashing or brutally unfair past any fun challenge those are a few ways a game can be subjectively bad.

tbh i like the atmosphere of the game but man was the game clanky and i wasn't able to finish the game due a item bug years ago
at least the game severed as a tablet for future 3d games that were the ps2 ones and i loved them

Certainly not as good as 1-3 but it's still far better than the rest of the series. The Trailer alone is better than the entirety of Downpour. Good game, just not of the same tier of greatness as its predecessors

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, and I agree that something can be "subjectively bad" (anything can), but just because something might be unfinished, constantly crashing, extremely punishing, etc., it doesn't mean that it's objectively bad; each of those aspects can affect someone's bias and maybe go against the intended purpose of a product, but it doesn't mean that there aren't others that can't find enjoyment out of it

I've never played them, but just because I might that they're terribly made games, it doesn't mean that they're "objectively bad"

The thing that makes 4 the worst for me is that there is a cool ass game in there just ruined by piss poor game design. The inventory system is absolute nonsense. The ghosts are far more annoying than scary. The second half escort mission retread is just the worst.

I love the idea of being trapped in an apartment and I'm down for Walter Sullivan's wacky adventures. If there was just nothing to it, I wouldn't have such a burning hatred for the Room.

It also has to factor in expectations and the series as a whole. I'd take Downpour over 4 because it was coming after SH was dead and Homecoming. 4 followed up the two best games (well three best) in the series.

It was the worst out of the first 4 but the western made ones make it look better.

Have any Silent Hill games ever been released on non-Sony consoles? I've wanted to play the series for a while, but I've never owned a PS console. Do the company behind Silent Hill have some kind of long-term exclusivity contract with Sony, with regards to the series, or something? Come to think of it, who even makes Silent Hill? Capcom?

Greetings good brother GGOA :)

I'll say this. I enjoyed Silent Hill 4 at the time it came out. But that was 16 years ago. I haven't played it since. So I can't speak to how it holds up lol, only that I recall the atmosphere being top notch.

anyway, I enjoyed SH4, for the most part, but I wouldn't play it again.

and while it's commonplace now, it was the first game that I played where weapons could break, and I remember that annoying me.

the only SH that I didn't like, that I played through, was Downpour.

I'm a staunch advocate for it. Have been since its release. I'd probably get into a deeper discussion if I wasn't so tired ATM. Maybe after I get some sleep.
