Hmm...
And yeah, when talking about Silent Hill, I completely forgot there were others besides 1-4. My subconscious is protecting me, clearly.

I'd call that very weird, yes.

Actually, if you like SH5 as much as previous 3 games (SH123) then it's you who are fanboy here, my friend.

I didn't hear it. I played it. I dug it. Then I liked it. And it's not 5, it's Homecoming.
Go on and continue to hear.

I'd say theyre giving life to the horror genre. Doom 3, Dead Space, Silent Hill 5 and all the new ''horror'' games are more like action games.

Dead Space is ridiculous. I really can't feel scared playing it. and the jump scares are pretty cheap. It's a good game, ok, but it's not a horror game.

You misused ironic so freaking horribly! Damn dude, learn English! Irony is a great literary tool but I seldom see it used properly...

Also, there is a nearly Identical thread posted (by me ) just a few days ago...

I totally agree though, impossible to play anything else that calls itself "scary"! However, Penumbra is way scarier as pointed out by HamStar. Amnesia is scary, but anyone who says Amnesia is scarier has not played Penumbra. Amnesia, however, is a better overall game. (well i prefer the penumbras because of the scares, so I think they're better, but Amnesia is "better")

It's all based on opinion. I played Penumbra before Amnesia, but I found Amnesia far more scary.

survival horror to be precise ...

**Sexbad** · 01-29-2011, 07:07 PM

It's action horror, not survival horror. Oh boy things jumping out of walls and running at you so scary. Let me just shoot them all in the fucking face.
