While I do agree that SH3 isn't perfect my problem with giving it shit is that it's far greater than the sum of its parts whereas 4, Homecoming, and Downpour have infinitely more glaring issues. Like, sure, SH3 technically reuses some enemies, but at least they've all got symbolic importance (hell, 3's sexy nurses having babies in their wombs when you shine your light on them at the right angle makes their inclusion worth it for that alone). Whereas Downpour might as well not have any enemies (uninspired designs, no real symbolic meaning behind... well, anything), 4's enemies are all pretty lame outside of the the final boss fight and the Twin Victims (the Twin Victims are the only enemies with proper symbolism). Homecoming definitely has nice monster designs, but outside of the bosses (which have GREAT symbolism) none of the regular enemies do. So while they look nice they don't exactly hold any meaning. Story-wise 4 definitely has some neat stuff going on (Walter is a GREAT character, the 21 sacraments and its connection to the cult is cool), but Henry is almost a non-character and repeating all the levels with no truly noteworthy differences was pretty lame. Homecoming and Downpour are kind of similar in that their stories definitely have potential and some neat aspects to them, but it's pretty blatant the creators didn't really understand the material too well (they're also plothole city, which doesn't help). That said, I do like all of the games to a certain extent. Heck, even Origin I like somewhat (but the wonky ass gameplay decisions hold it back for me). But while I like them all the production issues the games faced are just way too blatant post-3 whereas 3 at least could cover it up some. Even if it relies on nostalgia for 1 to do so.
My main complaint is mindless complaining people do about reused enemies. Homecoming is arguably the greatest offender of the series given it recycles a TON, but it does have strengths with it's boss designs normally. Downpour I think is given too much shit, I've warmed up to it much more as time as passed and while it isn't perfect I definitely wouldn't rank it at the worst. Realistically 3 isn't bad and is easily top 3 but I more just make a similar mindless claim people will give the others
Never forget the valuable lesson taught to us by late 90s early 00s Japanese horror games: There is no threat whatsoever, be it made in a lab or spawned from hell, that you cannot deal with using sheer high-caliber firepower. KKona Clap
I remember being awake for the beginning of this stream, falling asleep during SH2, and waking up to DAYTONA!
DAAAAAYTONA
Nine hours of silent hill games to study/chill/sleep too.
Thanks for content Ec, appreciate you.
Thanks!

Damn right
If it takes more than 4/5 rounds of 00 Buck, it's probably the leader.
I swear Silent Hill speedruns never get old
True classics
This license never gets old 🗿

They are a neat franchise
Honestly cant get better than another Silent hill marathon :D I was happy with the speedruns explained vid but this is even better ! :D

No prob!
Silent Hill 4 has such good ppl had enemies put into mods for other games lol never heard of twins until I put Silent Hills into fo4
There's a lot of neat designs
Watching these runs makes me want to get my own copies of these games to run
Bust them out
@@Ecdycis Need to find them near me first lol
@@Ecdycis they are expensive as hell tho
as someone named Robby that hurts man. also the dude hating berserk attacked me personally XD
Berserk seems neat
any chance of SH 1 to 6 only getting the best possible endings :-X
That'd be a better move admittedly but I want to save it for when I can add Origins and Shattered Memories to this
I'm gonna enjoy this haha
Hope you do!
The drink is called Shandy
