More SH5 homecoming (+boobies)

Just a quick continuation of my SH 5 review. After finding a glitch causing a item to not appear I started again from the beginning and am now not so sure if it was a glitch or if I’m just a shit head( I may have just been stupid and not been able to find the item (but I did look up its location and checked there so ….))

I have been coming across some audio glitches where there is no, muffled or any number of other audio weirdness happening at times. I don’t think this would usually happen but is a result of a kinda shit copy ( you get what you payed for (especially when its free))

I have noticed some interesting things: there is no sense of urgency. In other games you are very directed, so at all times have objectives which you are directed to so you all ways know what you should be doing. Not so much in SH 5. You often are left to your own devices to explore and find your own way. This isn’t a bad thing but I find a sense of urgency adds to the game and helps with horror aspects.

The combat ( this may be another time where I’m just a shit head ) I quite like the combat, its smooth and very well done, but if you stuff up (which I do) and a monster gets into a combo it is very difficult to escape and you very quickly take a lot of damage, this can be quite frustrating, its probably just me sucking but hey.

Another thing I have noticed is my play style. In horror games I generally try to kill all enemy’s before I stop, look around and progress, collecting any items and such. This play style fits well in a game like dead space where the enemy’s are fast and specifically target you. This play style doesn’t work as well in SH5 as the monsters are slow and can be easily run around allowing you to conserve your ammo and health. I have been seeking out each enemy and killing them which has left me severely depleted in health and ammo. Tip: if it can be avoided then avoid it( duhh)

I am still really impressed by the graphics(look back at the boobies above and you will agree(hi def boobies :D ))  this Thursday another Res evil movie is on so I will give a review on that, also on the topic of reviews Nsharp8 has finished her reviews and will hopefully be giving them to me 2moro (or 2day as it is now 12:10 am) I also have some other people who may be writing reviews for me and I will give you more info if I have any guaranteed reviews coming.

2moro (or 2day) is mine and joyducks last day of freedom as yr 12 starts on Wednesday L

Major bummer, but  never fear as I will keep trying to pump out content.

Till then

Work hard and live life gaming

Silent hill homecoming ( + some waffling )

Silent Hill 5 Homecoming.

I may ramble on or go into way to much detail

I picked this game up yesterday to give me something to compare SH3 to the newest game in the series and let me say I’m impressed

The story is intriguing, I am not that far in but I want to know more. I already know what happens as I have watched a walkthrough, but I still really want to experience it my self as its always more scary when you experience it.

The graphics are very impressive, some good screen shots remind me of high quality black ops shots. It looks great and play’s smoothly, the main character Alex at times can be mistaken for a real person the graphics are that good. Unfortunately I can't find any options in the main menu to change the quality and resolution. The only bugs I have is the map and the child’s drawings are really low def. I think it might just be my game as other play throughs I have seen do not have that problem. Its minor but it annoying as I can't see the words written on it or make out what the drawing is meant to be. On the other side I was very impressed at the model quality

(yeah its from ign, plz no hate)

It detail even goes to the point that when you pick up a item you can examine the item up close and rotate it. You can read serial numbers on items and first aid kits have specs of blood on them. this amount of detail is just extraordinary. The detail reminds me of the extreme detail in Amnesia the dark decent.

The game play is very fluid, I am most impressed with the gameplay. Every thing runs soo smoothly I have lots of praise for the gameplay. You have two stances: passive and aggressive( or what ever u want to call them.) in the passive stance you have your weapon by your side and can run around enemy’s but in the combat stance you have your weapon at the ready and lock on to the nearest enemy ready for you to unleash either a strong or weak attack. Weak attacks are quick, deal less damage(duhh) and can be chained together, strong attacks can be charged and can stun.

Using different combination against different enemy’s with the right weapon to begin a very quick brutal finishing move, for ferals(the monster dog things) the combo when holding the lead pipe results in a vicious animation of u shoving a pipe through the dogs head.

Wow …. I have gone into WAY too much detail….. wow…. Uhh

… um and I have sooo much more to say. I just have soo much fun writing these.

To stop you having to read a entire book on SH I will save the rest for the next post but….

Here are boobies to keep you satisfied till next time(btw boobies will appear in the next one to (something to look forward to ))

So here are the boobies

and now kids …. Don’t try doing this at home …..

Pps i really wana continue writing this post

Silent hill 3 first impressoins and more

The first thing that struck me when I started up Sh3 was that there was absolutely no tutorial, I know this isn’t unheard of but I’m used to games that give you just the basics: WASD to move and how to attack. It was fairly standard but it’s still a little confusing.

The second thing that struck me was the camera angles and fixed camera. About 90% of my games on steam are first person games and 9 of the other 10 are third person with only about one some thing else. This is why the camera of sh3 confused me. For those of you who don’t know the camera is a loose 3^rd person camera with a fixed position camera at other times. It will follow your movements but if you turn around it will stay at the rotation it is unless you manually adjust it (just press tab and move the mouse ). This took me a bit of time to work out and found it made combat difficult and kindda down right annoying. The fixed camera is as if the camera is (fixed) locked in a position and doesn’t move, I also found this quite confusing

I guess im just too used to more modern games but the combat of sh3 really felt weird. After playing lots of games where combat is meant to occur and is easy to do to the combat of sh3. Due to the camera and the lack of a health bar on screen it was difficult to know how low health I was with out moving to my inventory.

From the videos of game play I have seen people generally try to avoid combat unless they have to, I generally try to seek out my enemy’s and kill them as knowing they are dead makes me feel a lot safer.

I guess the most important thing about the silent hill games is the story so I might restart on easy just so I can experience the story with out the frustration of the gameplay. Even though I have been quite critical I still am defiantly going to keep playing.  Originaly I picked up the Silent hill franchise as I I realised that as a survival horror fan I hadn’t ventured into one of the biggest survival horror franchises out there.

More SH stuff coming soon as I am also installing SH5 right now, from the vids I have seen it looks closer to the games im used to then SH3.
