So I've Been Playing: SILENT HILL 4 [ Review PS2 ]

@@DrDemoman74 my favorite silent hill definitely gives you the "alone" creepy vibe throughout the whole game. My best experience was when I played this at 13 years old while my parents was out for the whole night and I was alone in the house in a warm summer night **water gate prison...**

[@clubbasher32]

Scoot People sleep on this game. I suffered through psychosis for 3 years, and I cannot tell you how accurate the apartment is. Trapped. By yourself, it doesnt make sense, no one can hear you, your only escape is through a slimy hell portal. Your delusions bleeding into reality. The longer you stay in the apartment, the more haunts pop up, and the more candles you have to light to douse those demonic flames.

[@hanfei6871]

[@OldyAlbert]

As you said - SH4 is a more game to respect then to replay. But one playthough is quite unique and memorible expirience. This game made much stronger impression on younger me then SH 2 or 3. It's like La-Mualana for me - game that was designed do be what they are rather then to entertain a player. And La-mulana is my fav game of all time so that approach to gamedesign is important to me.

[@clubbasher32]

Ole Gerko this game is meant to be played once, and only once

[@ChrisKyle816]

This game is so underrated. To me it is the scariest and most disturbing out of the whole series. It sticks with you long after your done playing it. It did have its flaws, but overall a brilliant game.

[@clubbasher32]

ckrustin As a psychosis survivor, this game validated my experience. I was trapped in my own apartment, locked from in the inside out, for 3 years. Haunts showed up in my house too. And I did light candles to help it.

[@omegashred24]

Tip for the ghost; they cant die but can be held down by swords you find in the different worlds. Use saints amulet to protect from damage as well but use sparingly , you may want extra and holy candles if your room starts haunting.

[@danielbelcab]

When your tip (which in itself should simplify and ease the experience) basically just showcases how complex the situation to be avoided is. No one walks away unscathed from this game. It's hard... even when you make it easier.

[@Purgatory096]

And those swords are extremely rare, only 5 appears in the game and 4 of them should be reserved to victims during the time of the game in my opinon.

[@DianaTaffie]

Silent Hill 4 was and always will be my favourite in the whole series. It's a game that is not fun to play... on purpose. It's a game that i can even call A Game that is close to being A Horror Game Ideal. It is one of the most stresfull and panic and anxiety inducing games with a c o n s t a n t tension, especially after The Room shits itself and become filled with ghosts. And it makes me sad everytime someone bashes this game for not understanding its purpose and idea. It is always hertwarming to see someone admiring this game, at least to some extent. Great video mate.

[@LegionAdell]

Josh JeanJacket Jaeger That part in particular is absolutely brilliant. So unexpected of them to literally take your safe-space away too! There you are playing the game, getting used to the formula of getting as much done in the oppressive otherworld before turning to your safe haven (i.e-apartment) and then all of a sudden you here a crashing noise in the living room. You notice that your health bar isn't refilling anymore. You slowly make your way to the living room to find that the fan has fallen from the sealing. Something is very wrong and you can feel it. In the corner of your eye you can see as head float outside your window. With little else to do you return to the otherworld to finish the stage. It's brutal and you can't wait to end the level. When you do, Henry wakes up in his apartment. Once again you walk outside of the bedroom and towards the living room... and that's when you see it. A face engraved in your wall. Let the hauntings begin mother fuckers!

[@LegionAdell]

RomeroFanboy Haha I remember feeling so triggered (no pun intended) when they trolled us like that. WTF, Team Silent! I also remember laughing at my stepbrother when he played this game for the first time and got excited when he got to this point only to be let down. Seriously though the gun verity was crap in 4. However disagree with you on the story. That was great.

[@ricemenarq6230]

I'm okay with the Janky combat, the limited item slots, sword management to balance disable ghosts, enabling exploration. What put me off about this game is Henry. I don't know if it's that character or the voice actor but this guy just makes me not want to play the game. I 'm currently revisiting it right now and am already halfway and I have to say the story is quite good.

[@pwnshhhop51]

Miguel Fujigawa I agree. Some of the most tense and scary parts of the game were when the apartment got haunted. Something just felt so weird and wrong seeing the only place where I should be really safe getting invaded by the danger outside.

[@GhostOfBilly]

Lone Survivor did almost every part of this game better other than the story and dialogue. I highly recommend that and while I love Silent Hill and I respect the experimentation behind making The Room the way it is, it's like a joke that isn't funny and people think you didn't get it because you didn't laugh. I got it. I understood every single part in detail it just missed the mark on being as cool as the original, as atmospheric and powerful as 2, or as fun while still dark, and horrifying as 3. That said, it still deserves the name of Silent Hill if for nothing other than the pure artistic courage and risk taking required to make a game like this.

[@rickydo6572]

I actually threw this game away out of rage the first time I played It. Then, years later I gave It a second chance and Fell in love with it. I was in a different place in life in my Second playthrought and this game was similar to my life in so many ways >_>

[@DatOMillsGuy]

I've been anxiously waiting for this. I'm pretty sure SH4 does more wrong than it does right, but I just really like it. The game is really unpolished, but artistically and atmospherically it's just so awesome. The dungeon crawler revelation was really interesting. Never really thought of it like that. It's so underrated in terms of the horror so I'm glad you brought that up. The game is probably the 2nd scariest game in the series. The really stand out moments are those fucking super creepy ghost introductions where the framerate is super choppy and it looks almost real in a way. This bideo did not disappoint. Super gud.

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

The Ghost introduction cutscenes were expertly creepy and one of the reasons I love this game so much, it's actually really scary and unsettling, which I can't say for much in the horror genre, whether book, movie or game.

[@stolenname94]

I was unable to fhinish this as a kid because I was too scared of the twin monster. It just popped up around the corner and pointed at me and that was enough lol.

[@ПавелКарев-с8г]

I think the main compaint about this game has always been that you have to play through the same levels twice. Other than that I really didn't have much of a problem with it. Although you are absolutely right about it being a constant downspiral of oppressiveness. (Expsically those last few hours). Which made me really dissappointed with it's ending(s)

[@roobles8918]

Big late on this, but I just wanted to say I winced in sympathy when I saw you place the cursed doll in your inventory (or whoever was playing if this wasn't your game footage). Edit Oooooooo FF12 music! A person of taste i see.

The sadness, loneliness and curiosity, all these feelings mixed together it's how I felt playing this game. This is a masterpiece.

[@ludvigvinther7642]

Om sorry, but i have to disagree on that.

[@del5582]

Eileen had decent aim and her escort mission only really got painful with the "Wall Men" boss fight. It added another layer of challenge and dread. People who complain about taking care of Eileen I think forget just how painful the other Silent Hill games were in their own way. These are not action-adventure games. They exist to evoke powerful emotions and the darker sides of the psyche.

[@homeforgoblins]

This game will always have a place in my heart for being the first game from the series I played, and the first game I *ever played* (along side my dad of course). It hit all the right notes for me when I was little and introduced me to the other games later on.

[@murphyslaw9118]

binge watching my favorite youtube channels during the pandemic.

[@howisthatgay4275]

Best and scariest SH imo

[@LegionAdell]

A huge missed opportunity to put Fuck instead of Fin at the end there lol. As for the game itself. SH4 is such an oddball of the main 4 games. It constantly dangles from pleasant to EXTREMELY oppressive. It's weird since when I first played it back in like 2005 I absolutely hated it, and for good reason as like you said, it just isn't fun in some places. But then it picked it back up in 2008 and something otherworldly most of happened because I absolutely loved it from then on. Not even mentioning the story (which imo was always great) but the little things that used to frustrate me at first now I find a rewarding stepping stone. I'd probably give this game a 8.5/10 in general and rank it next to SH1 but not as high as 2 or 3. Still I can't help but wonder if there's a skilled modder out there who can return the tank controls, make some area's dark with a flashlight, return the radio (which I guess is technically there just in his apartment lol) and make some area's foggy outside of just the forest. It would be quite interesting to say the least.

[@thorhighheels]

I've never actually thought about it much, but the absence of a flashlight does really change the feel of the atmosphere a lot. SH1, 2, and 3 are so insanely dark, and an area like the Prison here in SH4 really would've benefited from being just as dark.

[@LegionAdell]

ThorHighHeels I was thinking exactly the prison as well. That would have been a perfect combination.

[@grimpyrox1683]

My girlfriend and I recently played through this game back around Christmas and our opinions were divided. I despised this game. The Ghosts, Escort, and lack of fun killed it for me. Seriously.... when you said Fuck Those Ghost!!!! I smh in anger with the vivid flash backs of my frustration for those cock goblers. She on the other hand loved it. Seeing a bitter sweet review though seems fitting for..... whatever people want to call this game. Good Review man! \m/

I like thor's accent and, and how he has a better understanding of the english langue than i do. Also, I remember playing this for about 30 minutes when I was twelve and dropping it like it was hot lmao

[@GuileOhio]

I actually agree with pretty much everything posited here. SH4 is brilliant in its atmosphere and story, and the fucking *trailer* is scarier than most horror games out there, but actually playing it is like pulling off teeth without anesthesia. I adore the first three games, replay them often, but I really can't replay this one. In a paradoxical way, the game pulls off horror, isolation and frustration so well that it's immensely terrible to play.

[@kroitzer]

All these years I thought I was the dumbass not being able to insert a coin into the subway thing (or ticket or whatever it was). I remember backtracking all the way to the beginning thinking I had left something undone. I found out about the pixel perfect thing after way too many hours trying to find out what it was. I just quit the fucking game when suddenly the thing worked and realized many hours of my life had been lost in nothingness. I wish I had seen this fucking video back in 2005. Thanks Thor! LOL

[@alteredstates927]

Silent Hill 4 is a weird outlier. I'm glad it exists and that I experienced it when I was still young enough to get scared by games without being on acid/shrooms but the decision to make the combat a bigger element was a misstep in my opinion. Look at SH2 for example or SH1: the combat is awkward AF but I don't care because unlike Resident Evil where dealing with the monsters is a puzzle in itself (ammo management, deciding what you can run past instead), SH monsters are more to add challenge and a sense of vulnerability. The monsters are supposed to be scary in RE too and sometimes are but in Silent Hill their design is true to psychological horror: less movie monster, more existential dread with every detail having purpose upon scrutiny... like some monsters being sexual or some being enormous, castrating brutes. They did the room very well in 4, though, and there is a lot you can miss in a single playthrough (not sure if you even can see it all) so two people could talk about what was scariest and have no idea what the other is talking about despite both beating it.

[@alteredstates927]

I did a speech for communications class on Silent Hill 2 and its biggest themes and I had like ten minutes... I had to chop it down so much that all I really got to cover was what he did to his wife, what guilt is doing to him, etc. Nothing about Maria and the unhealthy fantasy, the sexy nurse doll monsters, Pyramid Head, the other tested characters Eddie/Angela and their themes (bullying/violence/rape/suicide) or Laura and the path to redemption... or even just the really general stuff like psychology (modern and old-school metaphysical) and gods and stuff. I think I could talk about that game for an hour and not lose momentum.

Plus, the developers of Pathologic openly stated that they didn't want to create a 'fun' game, but an intelligent game that raises new grounds in the art game genre. And by God, they really held up that bargain. I think you might like it :)

[@marko6219]

Good review, I agree that the main problem is that this game just isn't fun. Having to backtrack constantly because a key takes up as much space in your inventory as a baseball bat and those ghosts really make it a chore (but you can nail them to the ground with some swords later on I dunno if you know) and I don't think they intentionally made the game tedious silent hill 3 had suffering and melancholy and it was a blast. I also got the worst ending because I didn't help that girl I thought she was supposed to fidget all the time :) This game has no replayability why would anyone want to torture themself with that subway level again, silent hill 4 is as fun as washing dishes..

[@thorhighheels]

I found this neat little tips and tricks guide online, that stated things about the additional usages for the Holy Candles, and also about pinning the ghosts to the ground. I only managed to that with the female ghost in the subway though. It took about a billion tries for some reason, and with the flaming ghost I just kept on dying, so I figured I'd leave him be. Which was a bad idea, as he kept floating around in all levels after that. I loved that, it was great >_> Eileen also died for me in the end. I knew about "healing" her using Holy Candles, but even then, I have no idea how someone's supposed to have enough of those to be able to do that. Not on a first time run anyway. Felt a bit salty about it afterwards. But I have grown to appreciate what it tried to do over time. Don't think I'll ever replay it either though haha

[@CommissionerC]

If you ever replay it: There are five "Swords of Obedience" in the game that can be used to pin down ghosts, coinciding with the number of special ghosts that correspond to the levels. It's been too long to remember valid strategies other than Andrew, the fat guard in the water prison level, being a pain to pin down but easiest to avoid. If you want the good ending, don't equip Eileen with a weapon. Try to cheese the game by getting her stuck in spots that seem save and keep to long range melee weapons for yourself. Final boss is relatively easy even if Eileen may have taken some damage when you got all your ammo left for it. Keep all your excorcismal items at home for use when the hauntings start so the apartment stays relatively save.

[@Joyless]

Out of 2, 3, 4 which game did you actually enjoy the most? How would you order them?

[@thorhighheels]

3 is my fave, but I'd say 2 is the better game objectively. Three reuses some stuff from two, can be a bit confusing because of it being a direct sequel to the first one, and also drags on just a tad right near the end imo. Whereas two is just the perfect little package. It only lasts about 5 hours, which is just right I feel, and there aren't really any bits that I don't look forward too when replaying or anything like that. And 4, as I said, is very experimental. Not bad at all, but just a bit too weird to go around recommending to people. As for ordering, do you mean like, how I would purchase them online? (which I do through ebay cause fuck going outside) Or like, how I would rate them? The ORDER in which I would put them, basically. (which is 2 = best / 3 = second best / 4 = iz ok)

[@Joyless]

Sweet. Yeah that is what I meant because you mentioned that 4 was the scariest so I wondered how that would factor into how much you enjoyed it.

[@thorhighheels]

Ah okay. Well 2 isn't really scary at all. It's more so depressing then anything. 3 has some really terrifying moments, but isn't as in your face about it as 4. SH4 barely has any down time, and as the game continues, it even starts fucking with that. I was constantly in between being stressed out and scared while playing.

[@jaytravis2487]

This game really should have been it's own title. If you look at them naked/bareboned/ for-what-they are, Yamaoka's ideas are incredibly original but they just don't quite fit together. Try this Gedankenexperiment on for Size: Remove the title....no Remove any association this game has with Silent Hill and try to be objective about the game...as objective as one can. Now that you've done that try to black out the strings that connect everything together, you know the "bad" parts. You should notice that a substantial portion of the game remains though admittedly less than 50%. Now take that remainder and put a different"Scenario writer" on the task and you'd probably have something that can stand on it's own legs. I know that would require many heavy layers of paint. The whole game could use a texture overhaul. But you'd have a classic I've no doubt in my mind

Pardon me, but I just found this video in summer of 2022. It takes some balls to make a game INTENTIONALLY oppressive, depressing, lonely, and just plain "I don't wanna be here". But I think that's the message Team Silent wanted the player to feel. Henry barely speaks, and I think he's supposed to be some kind of self insert character. It makes sense, then, that the devs would try to make you feel what Henry would feel in that situation. I don't think it's pulled off particularly well, but at least they tried. And that begs for a certain amount of respect. Henry is a very stoic character who delivers his lines with all the personality of a piece of cardboard, so I don't feel particularly like he's my avatar in the game. When someone dies a horrible bloody death in front of him, it barely registers on his face. I really think they should've either made a main character with personality and a story to tell (Like Heather), or made it completely first-person and eliminated any traces of Henry or a protagonist other than yourself.

I find Silent Hill 4, the final good silent hill game, the story was great and it was true to the lore. Pls don't hate this game

[@StarLord66X]

why does this game reminds me of Catherine. Day time is normal. Night time is hellish puzzle nightmare

[@albertlomby]

14:50 dayoscript pls

[@viktordjemin7262]

Lol that statement "I love this game, but fuck it"

[@Amenlimit]

14:50 it's you Dayoscript?

[@BathrobeHero]

This game is a work of art, a masterpiece in horror design, I also fucking hate it.

[@empurress77]

Word of advice: If you have more than one spare stack of bullets in your inventory, you're playing the game wrong. ;)

[@Heywoooo]

slient hill 4: when in room

[@thorhighheels]

I'm in a room right now it's crazy

[@Guanjyn]

Definitely an underrated horror game but it doesn’t come close to SH2 and 3.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Did you know that this game was going to be a different horror IP for Team Silent, but half way through, Konami decided to rebrand it as a Silent Hill game for brand recognition.

[@GuyOnAChair]

Not quite. I used to believe that myself but it started development as a Silent Hill game.

[@hasi706]

did you know that's actually not true, and was actually intended to be a spin off set in the same universe, and therefore part of the franchise, but they decided on making it into a mainline game?

[@taneeshahmarsh209]

Never played silent hill 4 need to buy it.

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

He outlines it's biggest issues, so if you are still interested after hearing all that, you will be in for a creepy ride unlike few other horror games out there.

[@DHines-ws4bc]

It's funny how in the ways he speaks he's confirming Twin Perfect and also what RagnarRox said in his videoa bout SH4 haha.

[@Amber_xo_133]

The last good SH Game everything after SH4 is terrible

[@DeathShouldTakeMeNow]

The god damned ghosts are the worst part of the game easily. I played it on PC and got so annoyed that I had to use a cheat to get unlimited Swords of Obedience to keep them all down.

[@El_Bastardo]

13:09 "NOPE!"

[@henrytownshed5304]

Haters gonna hate. Silent hill 4 best.

[@sotheofdaein]

The thing I hated about silent hill 4 is that a lot of the monsters were given shitty stock sound effects that really break the immersion. I've heard that yowl the dogs make in like 4000 other games and it's become stale as stale as the bread from Pompeii.

[@jkajmo]

No $#!t, I am currently playing this very game & gotta admit, I like it, I loik eet alloooot.

[@melfer95]

me suscribi por que haces videos sobre silent hill :)

[@raymxslappedyall3660]

Can those slug things attack u?

[@thorhighheels]

I don't think so. They never hurt me, in any case.

[@usagifuyusummer6124]

@@thorhighheels Yeah, they do damage you if you either go near them without prompting the attack button, or if they fall on you from the ceiling.

[@GotuUmraniya]

the gore level is high

[@fwobebe5164]

I preferred this escort mission over RE4's because at least you could find new weapons for your partner that only she could use, even a secret machine gun ^^

[@deadchanneldontwatch7347]

at least the girl defended herself...sometimes with a purse but hey its something

[@themcfaceman]

Guess I don't ever need to play this. Still havent beaten RE2make b/c of the oppression of Mr. X gonna give it to me

[@XxDrJewxX]

Liked the video, but how come no one has mentioned that henry does not invade peoples dreams? Their not dreams, where did you get that idea from? Or where you being sarcastic?

[@thorhighheels]

Well it's what the lady with the Spanish accent says near the beginning, so that's what I rolled with. I know there's more to it of course, but I tend to keep my plot summaries to what the back of the box might say, if the back of the box was written by a sarcastic asshole haha

[@DieHardjagged]

@@thorhighheels She thought it was a dream but it wasnt.

[@codyforsberg3296]

The random dips in vocal tone for the commentary is kind of maddening. Would enjoy this video 100 times more if you didnt change your voice randomly for "effect".

[@zakkziegler111]

Thank god someone said it. Made me want to rip my fucking hair out. Good content but I just can't do it.

[@panicynot]

good review. you'd actually be funny if you didn't add accents for emphasis. good vid tho

[@reed1645]

I was so excited to play this after silent hill 1 to 3 but have to say it's one of the most disappointing games I've ever played. So many of the monsters were poorly designed both visually and mechanically. Wallmen knocking you back causing inconvenience rather than fear, large mosquitoes, large grey strings... and my favorite... the patients that burp everytime you hit them... like what happened? The sound design in silent hill 1 to 3 was phenomenal. Hitting an enemy felt visceral. In this game they just repeat the same noise everytime you hit them... and you rarely find yourself running away in fear, especially because of the massive escort mission the second half of the game becomes. There's no tension in this game. It tries to get inside your head but those psychological scares are so few and far between they felt ineffective. It's boring and a big hassle to play. I only finished it because I loved the first three so much.

[@spiralpower1620]

Twin victims were the only real banger designs, unfortunately. Though I think the Richard ghost is also kind of freaky.
