I haven't watched this Zero Punctuation episode yet, since I lost my interest in it a long time ago, but judging from the comments, he bashed the game.

Bullshit.

Homecoming is far, far better than Silent Hill 3 & 4. And it has less combat than any other game in the series.
In Silent Hill 3, there was almost no ammo or health, and fighting was nigh impossible, so
I still remember having more ammo in SH3 than I encountered in all of SH5: Homecoming, and killing 50-60 monsters.
Uh. There's an unlimited amount of monsters in a certain floor in the hotel level. They come out of a hole in the hallway.
Really? Huh. Maybe it's because I played it in a garage on a projector where the screen was still impossibly dark on the highest brightness setting (we couldn't even see the crescent moon on the mall door leading to the split worm boss). In fact, it was so dark that we didn't find any SMG ammo the entire first time we played it. That's also probably why I consider it the most frightening silent hill; the walls in that garage looked a lot like the ones in the game.

But yeah, there were way more monsters. I just never bothered fighting (or at least on the second time through, the time that we DIDN'T get stuck on the final boss and have to start over).

I think there's a misunderstanding. I was talking about Silent Hill 5 having unlimited monster spawn points. Read some official reviews. I just noticed it on the hotel level.

At least the flashlight in SH3 illuminated something... the flashlight in SH5 seemed like it had been turned on for a year.

Anyone know where I can buy this game at? I checked Block Buster, Bestbuy, and Target and non had it...I also went to videogame stores and they sold out so anyone have a clue where I can buy it at? I'd appreciate it and this was hilarious...probably the only game I know that seems to truley bring fright

The mentioning of the love interest shoehorn reminds me of the fate of the attempted movie adaption of H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness" which met an apalling but not totally unsuprising end when it was rejected by Warner Bros. for not having a happy ending or romantic subplot.

i also used gamefaqs for the coat of arms


i feel special knowing ive been in love with silent hill 2 ever since i played it back in the day

especially when mannequins are hurled out onto the street in front of you while your walking

mind-fuck games should make a comeback

i've never played this game. nor do i want to. why make a game called 'silent hill' if it's not even set in the bloody place.
personally i think climax and hilix should be kicked in the nuts, tied up and thrown into the back of a car then reverse it off a cliff, then we'll never have to enjure the wrath of bad gaming design, bad storylines and sh*tty combat.

don't get me wrong i love the first 3 silent hill games (back when the professionals were doing it)but there's only so much you can do in a haunted town. there are a lot of horror ideas that have not yet been explored.
i heard that there is going to be a remake of the first silent hill, silent hill shattered memories. i loved the idea (Hyocritically) but when i heard that climax studios were doing it i thought we'd just be getting yet another bloody origins.
so when i found out you run around pointlessly heckling your daughters name running around with nothing more than a torch and being cased around by naked children i couldn't help but feel a bit put off, if you get my drift.

Should I bother pointing out that this technically isn't Silent Hill V? You know since it doesn't have the arbitrary number attached to it.

This game was different from the other silent hills but it was still very enjoyable, and the silent hill series will always be the best horror game series ever cause most of the other games in the genre rnt scary aka the new resident evil games or don't make any sense
