Fortunately, the next Silent Hill games won't follow SHf's formula.

Good SH should be western style and not just any western style but back to the more interesting surreal theme of SH1 and SH3 which are the two best SH games.

The f is for fraud because it has more in common with Fatal Frame franchise and features soulslike combat design.
These are the same dumbasses that ruined Devil May Cry HD Collection. They do not understand Jack shit about any franchise they are working with.

Except SHf isnt taking any risks. It just doubles down on what people never liked about SH games, the melee combat, and makes it worse. The location is hardly a "risk".

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Surprisingly I'm gonna say Good!
Silent Hill F shines when it's being Silent Hill but that whole other stuff....yeah that ruin the game unfortunately.
I still love the way the game looks though.
And more I think about it the more it makes sense to me, the otherword in Silent Hill F should of been Silent Hill.
Why they didn't do that is beyond me.

I personally really like SHf even more than Cronos but I don't mind seeing every SH being different from each other.
But people want similar experiences as SH 1-3 never going to get that since most of original creators of those games are long gone from Konami.

But what if I wanted more dumbed down Dark Souls in my SH?
Hell, make the next SH set in a fictional Victorian city with Lovecraftian shit and a saw blade and better combat and I am in. I don't care if its basically about marriage or some shit.
Okay I am going to level with you all.
I just want Bloodborne 2.
I am not picky on the how anymore. I don't care if the name of the game is misleading.

Half of the complaints about the game are that it doesn't take place in Silent Hill and therefore it's not a Silent Hill game. So I'd call that a risk.

I didn't buy nor play this game yet, although being interested in it, but the single .gif I saw from a combat scene really took me off. I just screamed "jank" and "clunky". So what should I do ? Should I give it a go ? I do enjoy horror games, and loved Project Zero from KT to name one.
Maybe wait for a discount ?

As someone who also enjoys Project Zero, I'd gladly take the jankiest moment of the first game plus the cringiest sections from Maiden of Black Water over anything from SHf.

What is the formula of Silent Hill f? Or does the f stand for formula?
Did it even have high speed racing cars?

No worries. I'll just put everything in a spoiler:
- Overreliance on combat. There are dozens of late-game arenas where the game actually puts on-screen objective that says: "defeat all enemies" and doesn't let you to progress until you kill everything on screen.
- The actual combat is downright broken when fighting more than one enemy.
- The story is told in blunt, unsubtle and downright cringy matter. Everything is spelt out to you and the game actively tries to manipulate you how you should feel. No nuance or maturity in a game that claims to tackle mature and dark themes.
- You're expected to finish the game at least three times to see the full story.
- THIS BULLSHIT (no, this is not unlockable mode, this happens during your first playthrough):
- And personally, I didn't find it scary at all. Some of the monster design is actually Homecoming level of cheesiness, especially the monster which is just a pile of female breasts.

I always found it an odd complaint because there are many towns around the world that share the same name.

They will change their tune if the 1 Remake is a even greater success than F and 2 Remake.

It's formula is also literally the exact same as the other games except for the combat (and the NG+ requirement for the ending, which is annoying).
SHf is great

Thanks for taking the time. Definitely waiting before buying anything.

Yeah...hearing a dev say each one will be different and an experiment isn't good news because then why call it Silent Hill? You've lost all the flavor of what makes it a SH game....oh but you need the NAME to capitalize on! I get it now.

isn't the story writer of SHf a famed one? How come the story is told in such a damn bad way? I'm reading notes after notes about this person hating that person and wants to kill the same person a hundred times, enough already! I get the point, don't need to repeat that again and again! yeah i know this girl is jealous of that girl already, don't need to repeat a thousand times! the so called domestic violence is a nothing burger, the writer doesn't know shit about domestic violence!! Hinako doesn't look like anyone who has experienced that horror! Look at her clean clothes and clean face and have no injuries whatsoever! Bring back Heather(now she looks like an abused character)!
and then the scene where Hinako drinking and sipping a bowl of water with that piece of shit guy 3 to 5 times for 5 mins, really boring scenes! Or Hinako acting all shock and horror at almost at the end where she saw much more horrible things much earlier. the story doesn't make any sense! and that piece of shit guy? Let me destroy him! I have just finished all the dumb puzzles now(yeah i read a guide of course lol), so should be near the end? I'll fucking destroy this predator/groomer/sack of shit guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't tell me i've to play a 2nd or 3rd playthru to do that!!!!!!!!!!!! not gonna play the new game plus!!!!!!!!!!!
This game made RE and FF games geniuses of writings. For horror games I only play RE and FF, SH gets totally downgraded after this!

Yeah this story sounds like total J-cringe. The writer is some visual novelist so maybe the initial praise for the choice was biased by weebs and his gushing fans. Total cash grab with souls-like tacked on.

Hey, Fatal Frame actually has good writing. Well, at least for some of its installments.
