They really did the bare minimum with this one.
> how can we improve the combat?
> Oh I know remove the block mechanic and give an overpowered dodge!

Are the standards that low now? People really bought this for $70?

Compared to
>demolish everything with the pipe because it outranges every enemy
or
>just shoot everything that shows up because the game feeds you thousands of bullets
that is an improvement.

>>712697379
Okay but why remove a staple mechanic from silent hill to bring another one that barely changes anything?

At least when you blocked an attack you're stuck in the same spot, I just spam dodge out of every room and never get hit. It's less of an improvement and makes the combat even more braindead. This ain't a souls game why is James dodging like one.

>>712697157 (OP)
They made combat more difficult without adding too much. Wtf did you want them to do? The original game was extremely easy.

>>712697574
>I just spam dodge out of every room and never get hit. It's less of an improvement and makes the combat even more braindead
And the fact that you're even spamming dodge means you're putting more effort than the original ever needed - that being "literally just stand and attack until everything nearby is dead."
That you are ever using the block function in the original demonstrates your Down's Syndrome.

>>712698137
Spamming dodge is easier than timing a block that keeps you in place. I can dodge out a corner while being surrounded, unlike the original if I'm surrounded I either try to squeeze my way out, time the blocking so I can run out or just fucking kill them. Here it's 1 button = win, there's a reason why this game SHOULDNT have a dodge, you can already walk while aiming. Dodging in re3 worked because you couldn't move and shoot.
>>712697736
They took AWAY mechanics for an ez win button, can I have a challenge? Silent hill 4 got challenging right.

>>712697379
>>712698137
Tell the class how you managed to beat this fight by literally just standing and shooting, buster.

The entire appeal of Silent Hill is that you're in this nightmare world, not as a trained/skilled cop like the RE games, but as an ordinary man. James in SH2 Remake is a military veteran apparently, since he can dodge any monster without even a scratch!

>The original game was extremely easy.
Combat wasn't the focus of the original. It was basically a movie game. The fact that anons on this board prefer 1 or 3 over 2 shows that this type of game doesn't appeal to everyone, but making you shoot niggers every 5 seconds isn't going to fix this issue. Especially if you downgrade all the levels/cutscenes for no reason and reduce the art style to that of a generic EU5 game kek.

>>712698489
Yeah an untrained man can pick up using something to block and create distance quick. SH2 remake James is like darksouls with infinite stamina and you have a gun.

>>712698864
But saar the UE5 Indians need chicken tikki masala before the next train wipes them out. It is like last meal in prison saar but I have to make unreal slop before din din saar.

First area was 9/10, every area after lost a piont until the hospital when the game just wasn't that fun anymore.
Still rape couch is in my greatest bosses ever list. Game had high pionts and low pionts hopefully they learn and move on.
The only shit part that concerns me is how uncomfy the game is, and Im not sure slavs even know what comfy is?

Beating the nurses with a pipe like a pimp with a cane was bizarrely carthadic.

Otherworld Silent Hill looks so pretty in the remake, the way the red lights radiate into the fog is perfect.

I fucking barfed when I saw Mary's Letter being cut and censored, the suicidal notes censored, and Maria scene with her eyes with full light. Completely missing the point for miles.

Me personally, I never gave a shit about silent hill. Played back at release and it was nothing special, just a poorman’s re.
The new one is quite good though. They made it interesting finally. Looking for more remakes of this other unpopular and dead series.

>>712699835
Mary's Letter at the end is censored
Mary doesn't outright say that she loves James, and that she was scared but ready to die. It's just gone.

>>712699921
whats funny is that konami has been outsourcing to western studios for like 2 decades now and players unanomously agree that they all miss the point. fast forward to today and the western demake that completely misses the point is overwhelmingly positive on steam?
what the fuck went so wrong? why is everyone retarded now?

I could ignore a lot of shit about the remake, but they changed the letter...
The original letter had fucking weight because it was ONE TAKE and the actress got emotional reading it. All the pauses, all the heavy sighs, the breaths, the swallows.
It was all real.
And they even changed key parts of the letter. Man, fuck the remake.

>>712700146
Typical zoomer thinking the old RE and Silent Hill games are the same.

SH1 you can move while aiming your gun. Case closed zoomie.

NTA but I always wonder why the most illiterate among you are the most confident.

>>712700235
it's likely that even a horrendous remake of sh2 is still better than most of the games these people are playing lately

>>712700681
Thank you for correcting that imbecile on my behalf.

SH2 demake removed:
>something you’ll never forgive me for.
>could be
>I think you know what I mean.
>I’ve missed you terribly.
>I’m sorry about that.
>all the time
>We had some wonderful years together.
>I can’t tell you to remember me, but I can’t bear for you to forget me.
>These last few years since I became ill... I am so sorry for what I did to you—did to us.
>You’ve given me so much, and I haven’t been able to return a single thing.
>That’s why I want you to live for yourself now.
>Do what’s best for you, James.

From a letter of a woman dying from a disease.
A letter that was based on the writer's own grieving thoughts about his wife dying.
Really sick shit.
And the original reading was ONE take, with the actress audibly being emotional while reading it.

Such a garbage remake.

>>712697157 (OP)
Remake sloppers don't give a fuck about the original games. They don't care about the core experience, about the essence of a game and instead focus only for superficial elements. That's why most of the discussion is always on outfit changes, removed spicy dialogue, shitty VAs, etc.. SH2 Remake is UE5 slop that pretends to be SH2 by wearing its skin and now you have fuckers thinking they just played SH2 instead of something completely different.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is by far the worst kind of remakes, because at least with something like FF7R or RE2R these are entirely new games that simply use the original for inspiration, they're more like a reboot, but SH2 masquerades as the original game trying to replace it and shitting on it in the process.

Silent Hill is back baby.

>>712700994
wow they really removed silent hill 2's emotional impact. no wonder the end result feels like watered down slop for normalniggers. when you remove all the shit that might make some people feel uncomfortable, like the rape scene at the appartment, you're completely taking away all the drama out of the game

cant wait for bloober's silent hill 3 remake. they'll either turn heather into the strong female archetype or they'll make the shit she has to go through a lot less traumatic
god i wish blooper and their retarded gay niggercattle fans could just die already. i hate poles so much its unreal

>>712700994
Those sentiments are still in the letter just reworded for brevity. That is still a mistake, it's the ending of a long horrifying journey you're supposed to sit back and soak it all up.

Silent Hill was always bad?

What amuses me is that this demake is basically just Stray Souls (trash "horror" game not only also made by Poles but also had someone from Blooper involved with it) but because it has the "iconic" silent hill 2 brand slapped onto it and the Polak retards could just copy-paste shit made by more talented people all the normalfags thought that the demake is good and that Blooper are capable of making good games (something the devs themselves sadly started to believe, as they announced a new game shortly after the "success" of the demake)

My only gripe with the game is how they uglified Angela and Maria. Maria in particularly is jarring because she's supposed to be a sex symbol to tempt James, but she unironically looks uglier than Mary so there's no reason James would ever be swayed by her.

Remake is great. Keep seething, troons.

>>Improved combat so it's not just walking up to enemies and spamming attack over and over
in silent hill you never even get explosive weapons like you do in every other shooter. this is because its a SURVIVAL HORROR game and your weapons are just your means of SURVIVAL. you are meant to be SCARED when you're almost completely out of ammo and you know an enemy is just around the corner. thats why they wanted you to waste all your bullets on the first pyramid head fight
by 'improving" the combat and making it so you can melee hit every enemy without getting hit yourself the SURVIVAL HORROR aspect is completely gone. go play elden ring if you want to dodge every hit, you retarded nigger
>>Expanded the town so you actually feel like you're exploring it
if you didnt discover pic rel in your playthrough of the OG silent hill 2 then you have no right to make this claim
>>Vastly improved Prison level
improved by making the prison massive so any sense of claustrophobia is gone?
>>Better bossfights, in particularly the Eddie fight
boss fights were not the focus of the game
>>Characters were rewritten to be better. For example James isn't an autistic borderline psychopath and you can see Eddie's descent into madness
you play a $70 remake just so you can hear 2 new voice lines? incredible

>>712697157 (OP)
Ah man, I sure do love enemies snapping and sliding on over to hit me. Positioning in combat, who needs that.

they improved it, original was hoplessly outdated, only autists want to keep everything the same, you'd even insist on keeping tank control and fixed camera forever in every RE

But you're never scared because you can literally just run past every single enemy. And bosses are one dimensional due to the braindead AI.

Didn't even read the rest.

how do you run past all the enemies in the blue creek apartments and the hospital levels? there's no way you've actually finished the game

the Stillness ending makes up for the butchered letter
