Be afraid... be mildly afraid

Silent Hill Homecoming

[Solitude]

It sucks that the Silent Hill games have gone so backwards. I enjoyed the first two games and the third one wasn't too bad. I'll probably still play Homecoming because of the second game that was just amazing.

WHAT!!!
This is an amazing game..I love it!!
Yes its not as scary as the older one's but it still has an epic story and its alot of fun..not to mention the bad ass bosses!! Mmmm thinking of scarlett now!!

[The Joker]

Dude that was a harsh review..Im kinda shocked.

[Dan]

Yes, I was harsh, but I think I justified why.

It really is a pity that it ended up feeling like a tired expansion pack rather that a completely fresh game. There were some notable moments that kept me playing longer than I probably should have, but there's just no way you can milk the Silent Hill formula this long without making any groundbreaking new changes.

Konami fail

I think maybe your focus was on the silent hill's of old.
This was a new game and maybe you should play it again without thinking of any of the previous games!! Its like the new Resident Evil, its an epic game but its completely different to any of the previous titles.
You shouldn't compare old titles with new titles.

I disagree. This is EXACTLY what game reviews is about, drawing experience from any previous titles and doing comparisons.
It must be made clear if the new game is more of the same game, or completely new, not to be compared, etc.
It's the same as the F.E.A.R 2 review, i.e. more of the same. Yet no one really disagreed with it, since everyone is in agreement it is not as good as F.E.A.R 1.

Maybe you are just too much of a Silent Hill fanboi to accept a negative review, i.e. someone's opinion?

1st things 1st...Im not a god damn fan boi, now that ive got that out of my system i'll continue

It is his opinion but he was way to harsh. Scoring it 49%????
People tha havn't played silent hill homecoming yet will be put off by that review.

I have nothing against old rust puppet, he is an excellent debating partner..lol ..
This isn't a personal issue

Opinions are subjective. Bear in mind that the fact that you found it harsh is YOUR opinion.

That's what I'm hoping. I honestly think gamers would be better off spending their hard-earned cash on Dead Space or RE5 if it's survival horror they're after. Anyway, I felt I justified my opinions sufficiently in the review so I won't harp on here.

Agreed, nothing personal

[Isengard]

I agree with Joker. I haven't finished it yet, but I thought it was great so far. This coming from a Silent Hill veteran. Soon as I finish dead space I'm starting it from the begining on easy this time.
