why? Heather was scared. Not ONE other protagonist was. Heather was inexperienced in combat and not some NRA expert shot (realistic) commonly Girls naturaly scare easier average Girls are weaker and cant take a big beating average Girls arent gonna go Rambo (often) example if the character u play as is a bad ass mother******* like Dante who fears nothing how can u get scared. males are too ...
By the way i think SH would be scarier if your girl is rather wimpy in fighting and very sparce ammo. No finding a armory of ammo on a couch, no big weapons at most a common shotgun. if you are forced to plan and run, itd be scarier than blasting your way through and make you feel pretty helpless. also damage should be based on location. one hit kills (decapitation, impalement) like RE/RE3/...
I disagree. None of the protagonists showed much of any fear outside of the very first parts of the game. It's something that could have been portrayed better as the games progressed in the series. Travis at least seemed geniunely shaken at points such as the opening cutscene (truck's mirror reflection), meeting the first nurse, the motel boss and minorly at other points, though.
yeah, i think it's more a matter of writing than any genetic differences. as for your views of women, jill valentine would like to have a word with you >_>
not resident evil and jill is realistic. resident evil = realistic except for RE4. the cast are normal people (exception being S.T.A.R.S. and U.B.C.S.). example : jill pukes after smashing a head in REmake in the bathroom. Rebecca in 0 isnt anything special either and in all the RE you need tactic/planning. in SH you dont unless its on a boss. btw since my opinion here fails, how about this : ...
haha. you'll think i have it in for you or something, but i'm against that idea as well. i like the loneliness in silent hill (escort missions suck in SH as well), and even in RE, it seems like being able to switch either makes for a less scary/more action-oriented game or one of the characters is painfully nerfed.
man RE = best horror game because its not afraid to go into new ideas, gameplay and story. Silent Hill has been the same for almost ten years while in 12 years RE has gone from cheezy voiced shooter to a number of gameplay schemes from first person to full 3D in Europe. SH needs a new take, whether itd be first person (now thatd be scary) or a new gameplay feature (co op, 1 hit kills and more ...
i dont think you get what makes silent hill an effective horror series which is considered by most who like the genre to be by far the best actual horror series, dude
Fact : RE has better ratings and sales. and by all means officialy better. of course you are in this board so ur gonna take sides with SH but im a fan of both series and tell u how it is blatantly unbias and by statistics/sales/reviews/ratings. i go by that and even though SH is scarier and more insane, it is not better than the RE series as a game and franchise statisticaly and that is a fact. SH never even won Game of the Year (RE4) or made...
Wow, the TC is an IDIOT. Hate to break it to you, but popularity doesn't equal quality. And if you really are an experienced gamer as you claim, you'd realize that people are sheep.
yeah, Half life wasn't popular XD it's funny tho.. people will use popularity to back up something if it agrees with them, but they'll use it as proof that something is stupid if they don't like it. like Halo 3 - more people like it, so it must be stupid, since people are stupid. Silent Hill may not have the broad appeal of RE, but that's because it IS better. see? also, SH > RE ;)
Also she's got the most combat moves out of any of the protagonists and is the only one who can block, so good job on being 0 for 2 within the first two lines of your post.

Surveys (google them under scariest game series survey) on gamers all summed up to this general list - Silent Hill Resident Evil Fatal Frame Under the scariest overall was Fatal Frame. under the overall best selling and best playing was Resident Evil. Under overall best story and unique premise was Silent Hill. so its balanced out just RE is better by critics and surveys on gamers. fyi SH3 and Fatal Frame 2 were the scariest games of its year....
A bit off topic, just something I'd like to mention. Of all the Survival Horror games I've played, Siren for the PS2 definitely portrays the complete essence of helplessness in a horrific situation. That doesn't mean it's a better game technically. However, this is the only game that gave me really awful nightmares, something Resident Evil, Fatal Frame and Silent Hill could never do. I'm specifically referring to a...
