O.M.F.G.

That's the most useless gizmo I've seen in a while!

We're at the midpoint off SH3. I'm nervous about 4...heard that they went a bit wrong with it and that its not really a SH game in anything but name only .I will still play it. Dreading the first person stuff of the next one.

SH4's gameplay does deviate from that of the rest of the series somewhat and some of the differences (mainly the limited inventory and garden-variety ghosts) are annoying, but it is worth playing, and I think it still feels like a Silent Hill game. It's definitely the least frightening of the four, but it has disturbing environments and music and an interesting scary story revealed to you throughout the game by notes and cut scenes. The level design is generally pretty linear (even more so than 3), but the water prison 0wns j00. The entire area is a puzzle, it has some great music, and its purpose creeped me the hell out. Now that I got past the poopy area, I'm having fun with the game again. I think you will, too, even if you're too busy laughing at the vacuum cleaner sounding ghosts and burping patients (no, really) to be scared. =P

I also read that the rumor about SH5 being entirely in first person was a misquote from an interview with one of the devs. What they actually said was that they thought about it, but they realized it wouldn't work for the entire game. They might want to incorporate FP into some aspects of gameplay like in 4, but that's not quite the same thing. WHEW!

OH MY GOD I WATCHED VIDEO. That was so funny I almost hurt myself. Harknell almost hurt himself laffing With 2 Fs.
