Things That You Dislike

Post by **The Procrastinator** » 03 Feb 2008

There's a similar thread in the SH4:R forum, entitled Things That Annoy You the Most so I thought:
Why not have one for the other games, as well?

What I disliked in this game were the insectoid monsters (forgot what they're called, blast them!). They really bugged me. Pun intended.
It was hard as Hell manouvering the camera to get a clear shot/bludgeon-opportunity.
The Mumblers were also very difficult to evade, 'specially in Hard mode, those little fuckers.

Nothing else, really.
How 'bout you guys?

1. the melee weapons are useless

2. the air screamers get my vote for most annoying Silent Hill enemy of all time

3. that one part where you have to get to the antique shop and they have really annoying and loud music (I always mute that part)

The camera angle is the only thing that annoys me. Nothing else.

i absolutely despise the air screamers. no other monster in the entire series invokes hatred from me as much as them and the night flutters. the gray children can get really annoying, too, but i guess it makes for more challenge... ?

oh, and harry running into walls. that's pretty much it.

Excuse me, but the emergency hammer was the best weapon in any of the SH games -- extremely powerful and fast to boot. And you gotta love the knife.

I didn't really find the Air Screamers that bad. They were easily dispatched by a few gun shots, and they weren't that hard to evade.

I agree 100%, I used the hammer more then actual guns, in fact the only time I used guns were on bosses.

And yeah the air screamers can suck a....

This game is the only with perfect balance between melee/fire weapons for use... In SH 2 and 3 I mostly had to use guns and SH 4 and 0 gives me melee all the time...

Being honest this game has things that I love like the monsters and Harry's mobility but if I think more I can say that these annoying things are the reason of wht I love SH, they give me more desperation and make me feel scared of go to the outside or face a mosnter... In other words this makes the game feel real for me...

The most annoying for me are:

1. The Night Flutters

2. The Air Screamers

3. The Mumblers

My least favorite thing in SH1 has to be that wretched knife.
I once became determined that I was going to kill a dog with it.

Me: "Ha! I'm going to poke you in your eyes!"
Dog: "I'm going to leap over your wimpy knife and bite your nose off!"
Me: "Gwaaa! My fuckin' nose! Arrrggg! You bit my fuckin' nose off! Oh god! It burns!
I shall poke you extra hard for that!
Dog: "Your ears are next! Mwrowf!"
Me: "Gwarg! My ears! My freakin' ears! Oh god! You bastard!"

I gave up after kicking the bucket three times and just shot the little twerp.

The melee weapons are not useless.

If you get the timing down, the Pipe is the best weapon to use against the dogs. A strong downward swing when they are in midair knocks them down and you can just step on them.

The knife is also incredibly effective against the Puppet Nurses/Doctors.

I found the double valve boiler room puzzle to be the most irritating.

Totally agree. It's hard for me to play the game before the point you pick it up. lol And another thing that I like are the little invisible squeakers in the school and at the park. haha <3

Things I hate:

Those green.. things in the sewers really get on my nerves.

Post by **David01** » 04 Feb 2008

Yeah, those things in the sewers are terribly hard to avoid. I can remember dieing multiple times trying to kill those little bastards.

Post by **KageReneko** » 04 Feb 2008

I hate the axe... Why bother after get the hammer? I equiped it ready for kick creatures asses and 2 minutes later I was screaming for my life running and looking for a health drink...

Post by **AgentX7k** » 04 Feb 2008

Melle weapons aren't useless, maybe the knife and axe, but the emergency hammer is simply one of the bets weapons in the whole series and one of the main reasons why SH1 gets my vote as the best installment. I also didn't mind the air screamers, I found them more challenging than annoying.

Post by **KageReneko** » 06 Feb 2008

I love the hammer!! Generally my play is in this way

Getting the Eclipse Keys: Run as hell and shooting my gun just in extreme danger
Darkness before the school: Just run with the lights off
School: Ol' trusty Steel Pipe!!
Alternate school: Steel Pipe, gun in some corridors and shotgun for some classrooms and the boss
Going to the church: Again running and having the gun just in case
Going to the hospital: Same above...
Hospital: Gun and shotgun until I find the hammer; after this I just use hammer in this place...
Going to Green Lion: Run and Gun
Alternate Silent Hill: Running with lights off and Shotgun just in case
Mall: Rifle for the boss
Alternate Silent Hill: Same place, same techique...
Sewers: Hammer and gun (I love the first person mode in this stage)
Resort Area: Run and Gun with lights off
Alternate Resort Area: Shotgun and run with lights off
Sewers: Just Shotgun!!
Alternate Park: Ol' hammer!! Rifle if I want to kill Cybil
Nowhere: Hammer and rifle for Incubus

I found the double valve boiler room puzzle to be the most irritating.

Me too, there is a way to do it in 5 steps, but once you mess up, your screwed. i think it was right on the right pise 3times and then left on the left pipe twice

Post by **Girl Interrupted** » 09 Feb 2008

The graphics. I'm sure when the game first came out it looked amazing, but not today. The poor graphics in this game is the main reason why I lose interest in playing Silent Hill (1) over again.

They should remake the first SH, the remake of the first Resident Evil game was amazing, and enjoyable to play. I think this game would be just as successful.

Post by **Jim beam was yo dADDY** » 09 Feb 2008

I like the old scool, gritty graphics

In fact you can solve it in 3 steps...

Well, i was close, how was the three steps done? it might be what I'm reffering to, PM me tho so we dont jumble up this board.
