Lone Survivor |OT| more Silent Hill than Downpour

Sounded like something I was in the mood for from the thread title, but then I saw the screens. With aesthetics like that, this game really can't give me what I want from a Silent Hill game, even ignoring the lack of mechanical similarties. Demo didn't help!

Play it because it's an awesome horror game, not because you want to play Silent Hill.
 
Ok, on
the basement
there are a lot of monsters without any space to hidr nearby! Don' want to spend my bullets, so what can I do?

Use flares. You can trade ammo for flares with the guy in room 204. I also suggest saving, running through the basement using up your flares just to map it out and know where you need to be. Then reload your save and now go through the basement in a more efficient manner.

bullets are pretty much unlimited, there's a bunch of blue pills on your bathroom's sink.


One thing's for sure: this thread would never exist if Salsa was still resting his shoes on GAF's limbo for banned individuals.


well idk about that but :D

If you keep shooting them in the legs, they'll continue to back up and eventually leap onto the ceiling, which will allow you to get past.

There's also a room there in that first corridor with a bunch of meat, and you'll be able to see one of the thin men from the corridor will be lurking in the background. I think if you place a piece of rotten meat in that room, they'll walk in and stay there for the rest of the game.

Oh, I always thought that when they leaped in the ceiling they were going to attack me from above looool Yes, I did that in that room! Pretty sneaky :p

This is a game I need to eventually get. Finally a return to 'old school' type of gaming. Reminds me of hugo's house of horrors to an extent.

Yea this game is really good. Tons of style, really spooky and it has surprisingly awesome mechanics. Balancing your resources, and trying to figure out what the best course of action was on the fly with limited information made everything super tense, you know, like a survival horror game. That did kind of fall apart during the last area when I realized I had basically unlimited everything.

This game deserves way more attention.

Also, where the fuck was the can opener? Thank god for cheese and crackers.

I'm guessing you found
the guy in the back of the gun store
? If so, go to the bathroom in your apartment and get the blue pills and then trade those for bullets. You can keep doing this over and over.

Shooting enemies is bad if you want one of the endings though. So in that case, trade your ammo for flares with the "shop dude" in the apartment.

aw yah the brute force method lol not the best way but it works!!

what sux tho is those things move around at such a whack pace that if there's 3 of them in a room it'll take u a flare for each of them just to move past the room!!

and nooooooo ios. what part of "so many buttons" did u not understand?!?!?! lol

whooooo yah I beat it!!!

awesome game ever~!!!

but how do I get different endings?!?! I got
Blue
but there are so many parameters when u beat the game that I get confused o_O

also
I traded all my garfield comics for cat food but only fed the cat once... I didnt wanna keep sleeping to do it daily so what happen when u feed him all the food??

but my save file didnt get erased so maybe I'll jus try myself lol.

and since I'm gonna keep advancing the days, should I take pills to unlock another ending? If so, which pills??

Just got this from the Humble Bundle and played the very beginning up to
getting the map
so I'm not far into it at all but it is fucking creepy! Need to get some sleep but I feel like I'll be having a good time with this.

Alright, so I want to go through a playthrough to get the red ending but before I go through, anyone know what you have to do to get it? I know how to get the two blue endings and the green ending, but I really don't have much of a clue of how I should play to obtain the red ending and don't want spoilers.

Also curious when we're going to see Update Yellow.

Is there a way to change the controls, maybe usa controller? I can't play it with the arrow keys, they are too small on my keyboard. :(
 
Picked this up recently from the PSN sale.

This game is awesome. Really awesome. It has a great aesthetic and fantastic sound design; moreover, it doesn't overstay its welcome. More people definitely need to play this.
 
What's the best way to play this difficulty wise, the easier option or the harder option? First time playthrough here, know very little about the game. Is the harder option the way it was 'meant to be played' so to say?

I just beat this game twice on the Vita (thank you blessed PS+). I recommend playing through it on normal your first time around and expert your next go around if you fancy some trophy hunting.

The 'expert' experience will definitely frustrate if its your first blind play through IMO.
