Why i Regret buying the SILENT HILL 2 Remake

Hello and welcome back to a new video.

So recently I've been playing the brand

new Silent Hill 2 Remake.

So I never really played the first game

because when it first came out I was a bit

too young to play such a scary horror

game.

But now that I'm not a kid anymore and I'm

a grown adult man, I thought why don't I

try and experience one of the most popular

horror games.

And as an avid fan of horror games, I

thought I would have to give this a try.

Unfortunately, so far I kind of regret

buying this game and it's not really very

scary or fun at all as a video game.

Quite dull, boring, and tedious.

So you start off in the game going down

this trail into some woods, and then you

eventually enter the town called Silent

Hill, which is a very dull, boring-looking

gray town which is just covered in fog all

the time.

I don't know why the art directors of the

game thought it would be a cool idea to

just cover everything in fog all the time.

It doesn't really make it scarier, it just

makes everything just look really boring

and suffocating.

I guess that was the vibe they were going

for, to make you feel suffocated.

So the bulk majority of the game, once you

get into the main meat of the game, is

revolving around looking at a map and

trying to navigate your way through.

Basically, it's a maze, okay?

It might look like a town or the interior

of a building with a bunch of rooms, but

it's basically a maze where a bunch of

routes and doors are blocked off or locked

down for you to try and find the way

through the area using your map.

So if you If you really enjoy unlocking

doors and finding how to get through an

area by solving puzzles and finding

objects, you will love this game.

But if you're like me and you hate puzzles

and you're not really a big fan of being

blocked off from certain areas and you've

got to figure out how to get through them,

I don't think you'll really enjoy this

game.

Take this part of the game for example.

It presents you with this massive chasm in

the ground and I kept trying to think, how

can I get over this chasm?

Can't I just jump down there?

And it took me ages to find out how to

eventually get through this area, and I

found it kind of annoying that the game

doesn't really give you any hints as to

which way to go, what way to go.

Eventually I found out you'll follow this

blood trail, which, I mean, it could have

been a bit more obvious that you had to

follow the blood trail, but it wasn't very

obvious, and I just ended up running

around in circles for like half an hour

around the town until I finally found out

you have to follow the blood trail and go

through these fences and gaps in the

fences, and then you enter the building

through the window, and then basically

you're in like a very claustrophobic area

in a closed small area Which is what the

game is trying to do, I guess, but I don't

really find it that scary.

It's just kind of annoying having to

fumble your way through this tiny building

that's all really dark and all these

stupid sounds going off.

I also don't really understand the main

character.

Like, what is he trying to do?

He's trying to find his wife in this dead

ghost town when he could have just gone

back into his car and just done a U-turn

and driven away.

But no, he's like, I'm gonna get out of

the car and investigate this creepy town

where there's no people apart from these

weird monster zombie things.

And I'm just gonna do it all by myself,

unarmed, and not even bring any— he

doesn't even bring a weapon with him, like

a knife or a bat or even a handgun or

something.

You find all the weapons in the area, so

he just goes completely unprepared.

I thought all Americans have guns.

I thought America was like the land of

guns and bullets.

He doesn't even have like a gun in his car

for safety, like a backup weapon or

anything.

He just goes in there all by himself,

doesn't even call the police or anything.

Like, why don't you just call the police

and say, hey, there's something weird

going on in this town?

Why is there no one in this town and

there's no authority or army presence

checking out what's going on?

It's like weird, doesn't make any sense

kind of story.

I mean, if you lost your wife in a town

like this, she's probably dead.

I would not risk my life and go into a

monster-filled spooky town to find— I

mean, move on.

Come on, whatever his name is, move on.

Get on Tinder, find a new girl.

Your wife's dead.

Just give it up.

The main character is basically the

biggest beta loser in the world for

risking his entire life.

Doesn't he have a job or something to do?

He's like, oh no, I've got nothing else to

do, I'm gonna investigate this spooky

monster town just to find some random

woman who he married.

I mean, if the roles were reversed and he

was lost in a town and she had to find

him, she probably wouldn't.

She would probably just find another man

and ditch his bum.

And then you've got the combat aspect of

the game, which is really disappointing

and boring.

You start off with this bat or piece of

wood with a bunch of nails stuck into it,

and you just spam the bats with your mouse

button over and over again, and then you

randomly dodge to avoid getting projectile

vomited at.

And that's basically the combat system.

There's no like heavy attack combos,

blocking.

Why can't there be a block button?

I can't believe there's no block button.

It is the most bare-bones basic melee

combat system ever.

You get one button and you just spam it.

Why couldn't they just at least have had a

few different moves, like he could do a

spin, or he could do an overhead slam, or

heavy attack that you wind up, or maybe

dual wield the wooden bats, or maybe pick

up a dustbin lid to use as a shield so he

could block the projectile vomit.

Come on, I can literally just see a bin, a

trash can, and a bin lid on top of the

bin.

He could have just picked it up and used

it as a makeshift shield, but no, he's too

stupid with his stupid pencil and his

little map, a little nerd.

So I haven't really gotten super far into

the game because I just got bored, but I

have seen other people play the game

further on into the game, and you're

basically just doing the same thing over

and over again, just in different areas.

So you start off in this town, this part

of town, but in the later part of the

game, I see you running around some kind

of hospital or mental asylum, and it's

just a bunch of rooms and they're all

nearly locked, and you gotta find the key

to this room to get access to that room to

open this room.

Read this note, solve this puzzle.

It's basically the same thing over and

over again.

The enemy types don't really change too

much apart from in the hospital they do

have those sexy nurse enemies, which to be

honest, they look pretty hot.

If you knock one out, you can pretty much

do it up the bum.

I have to say, one of the things I do like

about the enemy types in this game is they

do have very nice shiny round bottoms,

although a lot of them are covered in

blood, which is kind of gross.

But I mean, you can get a towel and wipe

them down a bit, and I mean, it would be

smashable.

So for those reasons, unfortunately, I

have to say that I kind of regret

purchasing this game.

It was kind of expensive, it was like £60.

I can't believe they're charging this kind

of money, £60, £70, just so we can play a

game that came out like 30 years ago but

with upgraded graphics.

It's not really up to my standards.

I want new games, not just rehash old

games with fancier graphics.

And, um, yeah, I kind of got bored of the

game Boring.
