what are the complaints?
Just to point out, I haven't played the game, I barely played the series, I don't like it, I'm just translating some of the complaints.
The ghosts are a pain in the ass. Huge complain about them. They are not scary, they are not that hard, they are just, plainly, a pain in the ass.
The character who follow you gets in your way more than he helps you, far worse than in Siren.
There are less secret things to unlock than in any episode of the series.
The game is less pretty than SH3.
And.
Worse of all.
So far.
There seem to be.
NO GAG ENDING.
NO GAG WEAPON.
NO GAG.
Positive point about this game, everytime someone asks how it does compared to other games like Siren, Zero, BH, the only answer is "don't compare this to Siren ; Siren was a kamige".
Some persons on 2ch liked the game but never played the series before it.
Though, the biggest dorks of the series say it's a lie, the game is quite enjoyable. But the very first time. Even the dorkiest shinsha found the second play utterly bothersome.

I don't know if I'd trust it either, especially if Famitsu scored it pretty well... Like someone else said, I was under the impression that they're really tough on their reviews, so SH4 still has me interested. I have thought about the possibility of SH sucking, though. I remember back when they were working on SH2, or I was playing SH2, or something, and thinking, "Man! I hope they keep making sequels until the END OF TIME!!" But then I was thinking about how they might end up milking the series and just making sequels for the sake of making sequels... You know, like the sequels' stories start to suck because they're running out of ideas and all of that.
Hopefully, this hasn't happened yet.

At least they say why they love/hate the game, and after reading not one, but 400 opinions, you kinda get a picture quite accurate of the game. Famitsu is interesting for its exclusive news, not for their crappy reviews. Their scoring system is completely random (or depends on the presents they got with the game) ; I remember a review for a game I was really looking for that was like "the system is great, the game looks good, the scenario is interesting and long, but the music is not very good". Overall note : 27.
What kind of opinion is that ? How can you decide whether you should buy the game or not with this kind of review ?
I'll keep the funny opinions of the nice guys of 2ch, at least when a point is debatable it gets debated.

Good point.
Well, as far as the reviews go, I'll say this- as long as the story and atmosphere of SH4 still carries the game, and they didn't skullf*** the controls or gameplay, I'll just put up with the other flaws. I mean, SH1 was perfect in my eyes, and changes to the controls and stuff like the way James handled weapons was irritating, but I just dealt with it anyway. It sucks to hear that there's going to be another tag-along character like Maria (IM A LOOSE CANNON I WORK ALONE), and the ghosts are just annoying... but that just makes me think of the spitting straight-jacket things in SH2. Just as long as I don't have a power meter poking me in the eye while I play and the story's at least interesting on some level, I'm sure I'll love this game, too.

I haven't been able to access the internet in ages...and when I try to get on at my parents house, I find out that Silent Hill 4 is doing badly, all the while, I'm singing its praises every night.
This is one game where I have to say "just forget about the hype (good or bad) and see if you like it yourself".
The one thing that's absolutely improved, no matter how you look at it, is the control. The game...actually...plays well. It's even -fun- to fight sometimes. Imagine that. Silent Hill has always had unforgivably poor controls...and while the SH4 controls aren't amazing, they're a huge improvement.
I can't say "the game is awesome" for this and that, because I'm only about 2/3 done with it. All I can do is try and discredit the complaints, because most of them are BS, if you ask me.
While your partner does get in the way, s/he also attacks...which is more than I can say for most partners. In any game, partners are irritating, but to complain that this is the worst is totally off base. I think anyone who ever has to deal with a partner in ANY game is going to say "this is the worst ever!" when they're suffering with it. This has NOTHING on Biohazard Outbreak. (this includes both CPU control and idiots online)
The ghosts are, indeed, a pain, but they can also be dealt with. They're only bad when you're losing your partner, there are several of them, you're beating them down, but still losing life because you're near them and you can't use your apartment to heal. Oh...and you're lost. This has happened to me only once, however.
Most, almost all, fans of SH will say that 2 is the best...and in my opinion, 4 at least begins to touch its greatness. For those who stick by SH1, I'll remind you that it had pterodactyls in it and encourage you to go back and see if it's still scary. I'm not saying that it was bad for its time (it was both amazing and revolutionary), just that it doesn't hold up as well today. SH3 was completely lacking in any innovation whatsoever and for me, lacking in scares and interesting plot as well. I enjoyed SH3 a lot, but I tend to think that it's the weakest of the 4.
most importantly.....
<<<SH4 is...neither decidedly better, nor decidedly worse than any other game in the series.>>>
They made a lot of innovations, and with ANY series they make changes in, people are going to bitch. For them, I'm sorry they miss their terrible control and generic game setup.
Ah, but just wait a week when I have the internet again and I've finished the game...ahaha...I'll come back and say "I was wrong! SH4 sucks ass!"

OK, I just finished off the game a while ago seeing all the different endings and such, so I can give a more fair analysis.
Yeah...in a lot of ways, the game isn't that great, but not for the reasons that people are saying. Be afraid for the game because it's not scary, or because the plot is bad, or because the last 1/3rd of the game is just the same thing you've already done, only harder. These are my main complaints with the game. They are sizable, but don't compare to what I've been hearing.
I won't hear this nonsense about your partner being terrible, though. S/he actually HELPED a few times, which is beyond the call of duty for a partner you're supposed to protect. The only problem is that s/he likes to fight TOO much and sometimes whacks on ghosts when you REALLY need to run. These instances...are REALLY infuriating.
Similarly, the ghosts aren't much of a pain, excluding a few instances, where...for one reason or another, Henry won't stomp them. You see, you can't KILL them, only pin them down, but stomping comes first and sometimes Henry won't do it.
I also hear nonsense about having to run from enemies. Every enemy in the game, excluding the boss and the ghosts (which you can't kill) can be killed in ONE HIT with a melee weapon. That being said, guns are USELESS unless used on the boss. I ended the game with something like 180 bullets and there were many boxes of ammo I didn't even pick up.
And there is gag stuff...there are gag costumes. Well, I guess they're gag costumes. They're funny, but also sort of...tasteless. Nowhere near the joy I got from the Konami code in SH3.
Other nonsense I hear is that it's hard to get XXX ending. ALL of the endings are quite easy to get, as long as you know to keep your apartment clean (duh) and protect your partner to some degree (DUH AGAIN).
SH4 is not a great game. The beginning is excellent and fills you with a lot of wild thoughts about what's to come...sadly...it only gets worse and worse. People SHOULD complain about it, but I haven't heard legitimate complaints, only nonsense from people who either fear change or didn't like the end.
Speaking of the end (((Vague Spoilers)))... ...odd that you poked spears into the big white thing like in Ev.....erm...nevermind.

Ugh... I don't think the few times she helps makes it for the numerous times you just want her to run so you can go to the damn next room. Maybe I had too much Siren (well, I already played like this in BH) but I usually only kill enemies that I absolutely have to in these games, I don't need a melee helper. I want to be able to run the faster possible to that next room.
And (you knew that was coming) Siren had slow characters following you, and you had to wait for them, but in most of the areas, you didn't just run everywhere, you had to stop every 5 steps to climb a wall or because there's a shibito coming, so the slowness of your partner wasn't a problem. In SH4, there are wide areas with nothing to stop you except a few monsters here and there, and when you want to run between them to reach the next area, not only that stupid girl won't follow you because she wouldn't win a race against Harumi with a stitch on her side, but she stops to fights ennemies she would have evaded if she had followed you.
I mean : the time you go down outside the water prison. You can use the ladders to go down quickly, then you have to wait 2 minutes Stupid comes all the way by the super slow route. You really, really didn't want to kill her in this screen ? I'm sure she would run faster dead. In Siren, when a shibito was running after me and my friend, I was stressed, I was screaming "Ruuuuuun!!!" to my screen, and generally I either finished the mission or was killed a few seconds after. This was a horror-movie feeling. In SH4, I was waiting near the exit she would come at last through the empty field. The feeling it created was more a "my girlfriend should have been there half an hour ago, have I been dumped?" kind of feeling. Interesting this is the first game I feel this, and that no date sim ever managed to do so.
To sum up things : SHE'S A STUPID GIRL WITH A HANDBAG WHO HAS JUST BEEN BEATEN TO DEATH AND HAS BARELY RECOVERED THE ABILITY TO WALK AND SHE WANTS TO FIGHT UNDEAD MONSTERS. Like if the scenario wasn't already stupid enough. And don't get me started with what she says at the end. I know, there's no point to look for likable characters in SH, but now THAT is a whole new level of unlikability and out-of-characterness.
EDIT : And you can't give her orders.

I found them creepy, and disgusting. I hated Heather, but at least she was a normal female character, not some slut with huge moving titties. Not only the two female characters of SH4 are a huge step back from Heather, but their alternate costumes are simply sordid. In these costumes, they look like aging whores who desperately wait for another client to buy their dope. That's really how I felt when I saw them.
Great 2nd costumes : Onimusha 3, SH3.
Blah 2nd costumes : most BH.
Creepy 2nd costumes I don't want to see again : SH4.
If the game had been like the first 1/3 of the game, I would have said "OK, it's just SH, I don't like it but I can see why people like it". Unfortunately, there was the rest of the game.

That comic justified the existence of 4koma!!
In other news, the only thing I liked about this game was that it showed what's her face's position on the map! So I could find her again after I accidentally ditched her the so many, many times she got caught on staircase handrail corners or better yet started running up/down flights of stairs in the opposite direction when I outpaced her. In fact, now that I think about it, the AI was pretty terrible in this game, except for the Ghosts, they were simply effectively annoying most of the time, never hair tearingly annoyinglike all those times enemies would just run away all of sudden. Sometimes, I thought it was some sort of awesome "must call the cavalry" or "must survive" routine like in Siren or one of those thousand WWII FPS games. But then they would just stop abruptly and stand in place, docile, while I shot at them. Hooray.
This sort of shit got even more noticeable during the second play through as enemies would target miss luggage, miss, and then get stuck in a wall. Or just run away again. Partly redeemed by the magical stair case ride you could give those freaks in the hospital, but with all the other sloppy things in the game, I wonder if that was intentional.
I suppose I would be more forgiving if this was some sort of adventure game with challenging puzzles and what not, but now you have a life bar and a "swing" bar, and it's all supposed to be action oriented and they can't bother to make the combat enjoyable. Time for the Siren comparison, which is inevitable because both games feature repitition, annoying sidekicks, and an simplified combat system. Siren made those three annoyances awesomely endearing (enough for me not to write an angsty rant in my blog about the lack of a HARD setting) and had better combat....Siren had a rhythm you could get down. You could cruise through levels once you found the right rhythm. It was fun, in a sort of power mongering alpha male boner way.
In SH4 I still have trouble hitting enemies standing right next to me, and I never figured out how to do the vertical strike in between the wussy flick of the wrist zero tension swing and the full tilt batter batter swing that makes you invincible (why?). I sorta gave up my first playthrough and just emptied a clip into whatever I found annoying at the time; dreadlocks, ghosts, even those beetle bat things. Which lead to a bad+ ending because despite this game being melee oriented, ironically you'll need the governor's supply of ammo to get the satisfaction that there's no known better ending then the bullshit you just earned. Well, that's a lie, I suppose you could pull it off with little to no ammo, but for endings like these, etc.

(OK, this time...there's kinda spoilers for those who care...but not big ones)
I just don't get it. Maybe Eileen is nice to me because I like her, or maybe it's by pure luck, or maybe I'm just THAT awesome at Silent Hill, but I simply didn't have these problems. I had ONE BIG problem, ONE time in the outside/shopping level. When we had to go down a series of stairs with lots of ghosts, she really was NOT working with me. However, when I got so irritated that I reset the system...when I tried it again, everything went great. Ah...then there was that time she hit me when I was fighting Walter, but that was just -funny-.
I guess it would be egocentric of me to assume that everyone would do as well as me with this, but I'm not particularly awesome at video games, so I tend to assume that most players are going to do better than me, not worse.
I don't buy complaints about the battle system, because people SOMEHOW didn't complain about the absolutely rotten battle system in SH1-3. Now, people are like "they're trying to make it good!" before, I guess it was just SO bad that you accepted it, but now that it's supposed to be good, you can complain that it's bad?
And Iggy, as for the "long route" in the prison...that's just ridiculous. The "long" way only took...like 2 minutes, if even that long. If you're THAT intolerant, then you're just predisposed to find problems with the game anyway.
As for the hidden costumes...they are, indeed tactless. Cynthia is GROSS anyway, though. I can't stand to look at her, she's so nasty...but it's appropriate. Giving her a nasty costume, however appropriate, creates the most horrific thing in the game, by far. She was much more attractive as a ghost. Eileen just looks ridiculous no matter what, though. (I sort of like this, even if it's stupid)
Most girls who play the game (as well as me) aren't as offended by the tacky costumes for the girls as we just want a funny or sexy costume for Henry, too. I'm surprised that someone who plays video games so much hasn't learned to stop being insulted or disgusted by breasts, however gaudily displayed.

Well, it was not that I found the game superb before that and all of a sudden I thought "OMFG THIS GMA IS SHITY I HAET TAHT FUKNG BITCH WTF" (thank you, English-to-12-Year-Old-AOLer Translator).

Well, Shermie and Mai are in a game already insane, where you shoot fireballs or can have a some dynamite exploding in your body but just lose some red pixels on your life bar and stand up normally just after, and they are... well, funny.

On the other hand, horror games play on the relative feeling of realism, the "it could happen to you too!" thing. That's why many people dislike Zero : horro games with moeeeee schoolgirls just don't do it. That's why I love every character in Siren : even Naoko, who could, character-wise, have been slutty, is not, and I don't think anyone who found the telephone card or the magazine where she is in bikini thought "Naokotan Haa Haa". Aya Brea or her twin sister in SH1 where also believable female characters because, simply, they were characters before being female, if I can say such things.

SH 1 = I don't remember it being RE bad, but I was scared shittless by almost all the enemies first time through, so ran away about 75% of the time.

Those games had shitty, "broken" combat systems, but they were fun (SH2 cockroach combat excepted).
Anyone who states opposing opinions clearly posted the "I like screwing Asian girls" topic on the gamefaqs SH4 board.
Also, I should note that there are a couple of good things about SH4. Foremost being horrible or surprising sounds in otherwise useless bathrooms. I really missed them from the first SH gam, and no other game since then other then SH4 has stepped up to the plate and delivered such a shocking WC surprise.

I'm trying to avoid reading the spoilers and "spoilers" in the last few threads, and whether this SH game will be awesome or just all right, I'm still getting it on release day.
As for the combat system in the first three, I really thought SH1's system worked well. Once they went away from "hold to stab, tap to x-strike" method, then the combat got real clunky. Harry was also able to walk and reload much better than James (I THINK Heather was finally able to reload more like Harry). It also kind of sucked to not be able to do the classic walk with the chainsaw blade out and running like the SH1 chainsaw (although SH2's chainsaw was much much much cooler). I don't know. I just think that out of the three, SH1's fighting sytem was the most versatile.
As long as SH4's is better than 2's I'll be fine. And if I don't have to have any meters on the screen. Heh heh.

I think I understand. To apply it to a wider spectrum, I have a real problem with one-dimensional girls in just about any game. I can live with "slutty" or "sexy", but I can't stand it when the characters behind the fanservice are insultingly vapid. (Dead or Alive comes to mind) I STILL don't understand how girls can like Kasumi and Tifa from FFVII. Guys, obviously, like boobs...but girls? Why do girls like these characters? Maybe only crappy girls that somehow relate to them?
I didn't find the SH4 girls any less believable than most other SH characters. Eileen's kinda...dumb, but that's who she is...and while Cynthia is totally nasty, it never occurred to me that she was actually SUPPOSED to be sexy. You can find raunchy women like her in any city...it's not unrealistic. She's only insulting if she's actually supposed to be attractive.
If you just mean the costumes, though...well, Eileen's was silly and stupid, kinda like her and Cynthia's was appropriately raunchy. I was a little taken aback at how stupidly fanservicy they were, but my only real complaint was "no costume for Henry!" (since anything goes on the 2nd play through)

Which is really strange, since, to me...it was released too SOON after SH3. I guess Konami's just gone crazy.
Heh heh. Nah, I'm going to keep it, but I was tempted to make it say "The Room of SADNESS", though. Yeah, I remember getting a little irritated when I had heard that they were already working on a sequel right after 3 or something... it's like trying to rush a fine wine.
Now we're left with wine in a box.
EDIT: I'm.

And remember : no radio.
Well, thank you for going the extra mile to crush my spirit, Iggy, but it won't work this time.
The radio's been worthless since the second game. I had to crank the radio's volume all the way up to get ANY result from it, but aside from some nice background noise, it did nothing at all to warn me about oncoming monsters, which is what it's for. SH1's radio was great, and worked perfectly. Once SH2 came along, though, I could hear the monsters well in advance before the radio would be loud enough to make a difference. And I don't even recall even hearing the radio in SH3 (I'm sure it goes off plenty, but I don't even hear it anymore). So, I won't really miss the radio in 4.
