>You lived long enough to see Silent Hill become a Soulslike
Please tell me the meltdown was glorious, I can't cope with this. I want other games to get a soulslike such as Digimon or Metroid, BUT WHY THE FUCK THE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR FRANCHISE? I wanted to see how they'd solve the puzzle of bringing back the horror from sh1 to a modern gaming era in which horror only means OtS shooters or stealthslop, especially since the protagonist was a highschool girl and it's written by Ryukishi who does horror novels so of course I didn't expect much fighting in the game AND THEY MAKE IT A FUCKING SOULSLIKE. JESUS CHRIST. Silent Hill won't revive until we get neural technology to outright cause us mental shock and nightmares while we play

>soulslike
shant be playing

God I hope they put double jump in as well

I honestly don't buy that it's rollslop, game journalists just suck at all games and they call the game a "soulsbourne die twice ring reign blood-type" as a cope

>>717190123
It has the mechanics I consider soulslike though. Lock-on to roll around a boss (with perfect timing dodges for extra bonuses) and a variety of weapons. Also souls you use to either replenish your Mind Power or to level up.
I don't even remember if it has bonfires but it probably does.

>>717190338
at least Silent Hill did deliberately obscure lore two decades before dark souls did

>>717190909
kings field came out 5 years before silent hill

they're in japan this time anon-kun, there aren't guns for her to use like in America.

I'd rather play a soulslike than shoulder slops

>>717191072
That doesn't mean she should be using that fucking weapon from OP like some dynasty warrior.
I had joked when the concept first revealed
>What, we're getting a highschool girl with a katana in silent hill now?
And it probably will happen now.

Or they could have chosen to NOT make it about action. This girl shouldn't be capable of battling these monsters, find another way to progress like Fatal Frame taking pictures, or make it puzzle-focused. I don't know, have her pray mantras to protect herself? Maybe cut herself and throw blood at the enemies to burn them, at the cost of cutting her own hp in half? It's the game devs job to create a proper gameplay, not me. But going for action was the wrong call.

That's a boss fight
You can still run from enemies

>>717189653 (OP)
That's based actually I will finally square up with pyramid head, and I will use his boss weapon.

Eat a cock, fool.

Didn't this board hate other games becoming soulslop? This is probably the worst franchise to do it.
Even Resident Evil has more grounds for it, considering how action heavy the heroes like Leon and Chris are.

Sorry that you're retarded and don't even play video games you just want to post about them on /v/ while you desperately try to fit in with other retards

>I want other games to get a soulslike such as Digimon or Metroid
Possibly one of the worse opinions I've seen here in quite some time.

>>717193607
Elaborate. Metroid looks far too cool to be forever a fps / sidescrolling shooter franchise.
Her armor getting upgrades synergies nicely with rpg stats and builds, focusing more or less on certain weapons and unlockable powers like Sekiro.
And Digimon doesn't have an identity to begin with, let me play with Wargreymon locking onto Machinedramon and parrying his claws & dashing around him, it would look like an Elden Ring fight especially when Machinedra just starts shooting AoE lasers of death all over the arena.

Not like this Silentbros

Sorry I meant UE5, its even worse :^)

>>717189653 (OP)
It's been heading lightly in that direction since like 4 as far as being more combat focused, dont get why the horror genre has to either be jump scares and running or giving the player the ability to kill most/all enemies with jump scares galore still

>>717196905
It annoys me so much, I put my trust into good old Japanese horror finding a way to make this more psychological, a new breakthrough in the horror genre perhaps. Maybe mentally analyzing a monster, putting clues and pieces together like an Ace Attorney trial until it died and moved on to the afterlife. Some dialogue-combat system or whatever. But no, we'll get Japanese teen girl with blades and iframes just clearing the map.
