Amnesia killed the horror genre

[Zoridium JackL]

I heard that 4 wasn't even that scary.

Heard?
I bet you heard 4 was not a Silent Hill game at all?
Really, some games couldn't be judged by hearing.

implying that hearing what others think isn't a good judement in any respect...

just because a lot of people didn't like the game and you did doesn't mean they got it wrong, it just means you think differently to them, if he wants to judge the game before hand by looking into it and gathering opinions then great, that is a good idea, they may not reflect exactly what he might think of the game if he played it, but it's an indicator, i for one would never have bought any frictional game if my friend hadn't said that it was great, so i heard it was great game that i would like... and that is what it was, so i think that all games can be ball-parked from hearsay, it's just a matter of getting opinions from different sources... also, i heard you like silent hill 4 in at least some respect? is this incorrect?
