I cant fucking play through a Silent Hill game to save my life. If it wasnt those skittering under the car things in the first ones its ALL the creepy ass shit in the second one.

Its not that the games are 'scary', I guess its more that the monsters in them are disturbing and just 'not right' and are completely without reason. I mean a zombie, well zombies gotta eat. Fucking weird ass monsters in Silent Hill games are fuckin nutballs.

Yeah, that is an awful list.  Also, Doom and Doom II were about a million times scarier than Doom 3.

Silent Hill is at pretty awful game.

What's to translate. I find disturbing things 'scarier' than things that are traditionally 'scary' ie vampires n zombies n whatever.

The monsters in silent hill are unpredictable and grotesque to the point that I find them far scarier than anything from traditional ghosts and zombies.

REmake has just about the best atmosphere in any horror game.

REmake was a step backwards for the series IMO.

RE1: Dir Cut was awesome because it knew what it was doing. Its lack of technical perfection worked FOR the cheesy B-Movie Horror motif.

RE2: Technically excellent, but an over-abundance of ammo and a focus on ACTION made it an action movie, which has very little suspense or well...its almost not RE anymore. Aside from the lore and tank controls, I dont consider this to be much of an RE game in the 'spirit' of RE.

RE3: They tried here, and ill give props for that. Unforunately even with the 'stalking' aspect which is sorta cool, they didnt recapture RE1's spirit OR RE2's technical excellence, and as a result ended up with a meh game.

RE: Code Veronica - A step in the right direction, totally. The true sequel to the original IMO. Worth grabbing the PS2 port if you havent.

RE ZERO: I actually liked this one better than RE: Remake because at the very least, for all its misguided intentions they weren't attempting to one-up the original, just add more to it.

RE: Remake - Wow, you remove all the awesome cheesy voice acting, half the awesome cheesy lines, and focus on the technical aspects and you end up with a soulless copy of the original that at the very least gave GC owners something to play. I will admit however that the Crimson heads are tough enough to actually give players a sort of fear. Wish the original DID have this.

RE4 - I liked it, but its not Resident Evil. Again, technically excellent and that is becoming Capcom's trademark these days. However, I wouldnt have even called it RE4, just call it something else, name the character something else.

I love RE2.  I think my favorite games in the series are the original, RE 2 and RE: CV.  Made me buy a Dreamcast.

You guys suck if you didnt play through the original Silent Hill back in the day. That shit was the most fucking disturbing shit ever. Still havent played a game thats so bent on fucking with my head ever. It was a psychological horror experiance thats for sure.

Those are the only games to really fucking tweak me out of my mind. Especially the first and second ones. Pyramid Head from the second one had me not sleeping for days.

Highlights:  The narrator mispronounces 'banal' and DARKSEED I made the list  :lol

Silent Hill was a pretty good series, from a storyline/atmosphere perspective, then it got into this weird plot twist after twist after twist which absolutely had to involve characters from previous games.  Here's to hoping that Harry Mason returns as a conical headed pedophile with a chair for an arm.
haa
