Bloober sucks and so does silent hill

[Flabagast]

I apologize.

Will compensate by buying the game day 1

 

[kevboard]

It's always fascinating how reviews and scores are useless or super useful depend on what narrative someone try to push.

yup. let it be known that my stance on embargo day reviews is consistent.
and that consistent stance is that they are completely useless and should always be ignored

Exactly.

These reviewers are no more knowledgeable than the average poster here. I will playthe game for myself and determine if Bloober has graduated past walking sims. I will also be playing with Japanese or Italian voices because the little that I've heard of the vocal direction, I know the english actors will drive me up the wall and create a truly awful experience. I have been fooled way too many times by Bloober.

 

[MayauMiao]

Well shit, the game does look good and I'm afraid my old PC can't run it.

Angela didn't look that bad from different angles.

 

[EDMIX]

nahhhh I'll play it myself and see before saying shit.

 

[mckmas8808]

In the hope that people from bloober team read here, I think myself and a lot of people need to apologize to them…

So I will start, since as a big Silent Hill fan and doubted them from the start and was angry when the rumors turned out true that they are remaking Silent Hill 2.
I really thought the game would turn out terrible and the first reveals seemed to confirm my fears.

But now I can see that I was wrong and you did deserved another chance. So please accept my sincere apology and I am excited what you will do in the future.

I love this type of energy. Good apology.

 

[SlimySnake]

I am willing to admit I was wrong about them, but i wont apologize because my skepticism was warranted based on their previous works.

I will apologize if their next game is also great and if I threw a bitch fit on their next announcement.

I have nothing to apologize for cuz i always gave them the benefit of the doubt. I played The Medium and from my impressions was that they suck at storytelling but are very capable at delivering good atmosphere and graphics. Making a remake that already has a story created by someone else, would be hard to really fuck up that much. The original SH2 also dosent has that good of a combat system so its also hard to make it worse.

I still like more the character design from the original, but from what i seen i think Bloober has done a decent job in the remake.

 

[Kataploom]

Good try, Bloober Team employe.

Now, srsly (well, I was kinda serious), I won't apologize to them. There are two issues I have with the game and only one is yet to be seen if it's fixed, the other will remain forever (character design, I hate it) so well, hope it's at it's at least not jump scares infested

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

In my restless dreams, I see that thread.

No, they absolutely don't deserve any apologies at all

 

[Bojji]

No, they absolutely don't deserve any apologies at all

I agree, they deserve great success, a lot of money and next projects from Konami/other publishers.

 

[FoxMcChief]

 

[adamsapple]

No, they absolutely don't deserve any apologies at all

 

[bender]

I pre-ordered two copies of SH2 so I think that is apology enough. I still think their past games suck rocks but that doesn't mean a studio can't improve.

 

[Saber]

Apology? For what?
You guys are sick. Its ok to be skeptical about games, this generation gives alot of reasons to do so.

 

[Danjin44]

I personally don’t care for direction they going for this remake, so I’m not buying the game.

 

[Bartski]

 

[SHA]

The game was hated 20 years ago on the media, I don't understand, don't take what you see seriously, even that game will be liked in 7 years.

 

[geary]

Metacritic on gaf is nothing more than a narrative enabler.

Metacritic and cringe youtubers

 

[Sooner]

All they needed to do was remove Xbox

All they needed was to make a game that someone else already made.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

All they needed to do was remove Xbox

Was the series S holding Blooper team back

 

[Big Baller]

It's too late to apologizeeeee

 

[Northeastmonk]

I gave them $85 USD after tax. That should be enough of an apology.

 

[Hydroxy]

I'm glad the game turned out great. We need more good remakes like these and less shitty remakes like Until Dawn

 

[MacReady13]

No need for me to apologise. When you are remaking the greatest horror game of all time, and you haven’t made 1 quality game before this, we were right to be sceptical. The fact they pulled it off just shows they’re talented and all they needed was proper guidance.

 

[Griffon]

You haven’t seen the reviews and the 87 Metacritic?

Seriously if we ever gave credence to "the press" we would all be playing Concord right now. Jorunalists are just as inept as Bloober, they wouldn't know subtlety if it hit them in the face.

I still fully expect the remake to be mediocre at best or more likely a blazing trash fire.

Even if I would turn out to hate it, it’s just my personal opinion. Games deserve praise on what the majority thinks about them, not if some people have different opinions. Every opinion is valid and understandable, since tastes are different. But if the majority say a game is good or even great, I can’t call it a bad game regardless of my personal opinion.

People fuckin love Whataburger but their burgers are flavorless stacks of disappointment. You can acknowledge something’s popularity, even give it props, and still call it bad. That’s the point of personal opinion.

Granted, it is good to be able to distinguish taste from actual flaws.

 

[StueyDuck]

lol op works and bloober and is tryna bait fools.

game looks like one of those UE5 fan games. basically looks like an action game now and has very little atmosphere.

reminder that this is bloober when they try do their own "horror"

 

[Barakov]

I'm not apologizing for anything. Bloober's track record is spotty at best. Also some of the changes they made as well as SBI being involved means I'm waiting for impressions before I'll even thinking about picking it up.
