Sh2 sold less than the original and underperforming Konami's expectations, leading to the decline of the series.

Here's Sato's resume: Notice he doesn't list Sh2's sales but the sales of 1?

>This board is full of people obsessed with rewriting history instead of discussing video games.

Irony: it's the SH fans who re-wrote history. SH1 was a surprise hit, SH2-4 underperformed, so Konami disbanded Team Silent and outsourced teh games. The SH fans re-wrote events that the extremely popular successful high quality game series was killed by mean old Konami for seemingly no reason other than malice.

For 2001? Yeah it was one of the bigger horror games that year. But it was quickly overshadowed and forgotten. On SH and gaming forums, they built the myth of SH2 being one of the best games ever during the early 00s. A flawless masterpiece. I was on these forums so I shared this viewpoint, but with time I can be a bit more objective.

"Okay, if I didn't like this game already, wouldn't I see this entire opening section as a huge chore and a drag?"
