Hello friends, I'm new to the forum, but have been playing Silent Hill from day one. I have played every SH game accept for Origins and Shattered Memories. As I stated in my intro to the forum, back in 2004 I purchased Silent Hill 4, played it for about an hour and just gave up on it. It was just so different and, at the time, it was a complete turn off for me. But now, six years later, I have started over. After recently finishing Homecoming I thought it was only right to give The Room another try. I have read several places the SH4 is very short. I am now 2 hours in and was curious how long it actually is. How long did it take you to play through your first time and there after?
Thanks, KRAKALACKIN
Silent Hill 4 Length

It was also my first Silent Hill (I played them backwards for numerical order) and I enjoyed it thoroughly, -I always have my complaints over weapons and costumes- but it was well thought out for the plot and how they set up for how you get the story.

Most people say Henry's a pervert because of looking through the peephole to Eileen's room, but here's the thing: Your not required to do that, it's the players choice.
So whose the pervert now :P?

I didn't think SH4 was a short game in any sense. I am sure you can beat it in a matter of hours, but on my first play through, I probably racked up around 10 hours. Comparatively, SH3 took about 7 hours my first time through.
Depends on how active you are, but it takes time no matter what.
Also, I put SH4 away my first time through. I didn't want a first person game AT ALL. I realized it might be beneficial to try again and realized that only a short section of the game is in first person. lol, I felt stupid when I realized.

The first person aspect is one of the things that initially turned me off too, but, as you said, now I realize that not much of your time is spent in fp.NeoAquarius12 wrote:I didn't think SH4 was a short game in any sense.

I found that 1 and 4 take a long time to get through because of the repeated interruptions.
Then 4,
2 and 3 in my opinion are the fastest to get through, especially with 3's unlockable weapons.

The monsters in 1 can grab Harry for long periods and there's a lot to do and when playing Playstation 2 for years getting once again use to a Playstation 1 game is difficult.

well you go to different places that can take a while and then go again with a comrade that can slow him down and needs protection and waiting for while a serial attacks the two of them constantly.

Origins is definitely the fastest in the main series. I think I beat it in under 3 hours. Or just over. SM can easily be the shortest if you can get through the chase sequences unscathed. I beat that game 3 times, and still had to redo the hospital chase at least 8 times.

To me, SH0 had the most things to do in the places you go, tons of rooms to search with a couple of puzzles on the way and accessing the worlds repeatedly both ways. Interesting concept that they came up with.
