Series going bad
« on: April 09, 2011, 06:43:55 PM »
There are a lot of series around that have been great. But some have seemed to take a wrong step and went in another direction. For instance Silent Hill, I have loved 1-3, they are amazing. They got a great atmosphere and a great story especially the 2nd one. I have slightly been disappointed with the series since SH4. It just feels like the world, atmosphere, and story have taken a backseat. And gameplay has been the main focus, and they still can't get that right.

Do you feel this way about any series?

Some series have done this. The beginning was good and went dow hill as sequels came out. One I feel did this was Syphon Filter. When they made Syphon Filter Dark Mirror, I was disappointed. Previous games were better.

I think RE is starting to show some signs of this as well. RE4 and RE5 had no horror and has become more action (Don't take this wrong. I'm not a RE hater).

I kinda feel the story of MGS4 wasn't too good. I just say that due to how Snake was killed off. I still hold some hope for this series though, so I'll wait and see what Konami brings to the table.

Actually, I liked SH 4 -The Room the best in the series.  Plus, SH Origins wasn't bad either.

I never played Silent Hill so I wouldn't know. I'm kinda blank right now for other series that went down hill. I'm trying to pull one.

I like all the SH games, but just feel they ain't as good. Chuck your probably the first person I've heard to say the 4th is the best one. As for RE I never thought the series was that scary, it's all been jump scares for me.

RE1 through RE3 had the horror. Once RE4 and RE5 came around they lost their horror.

Eh....I just liked the concept....Guy in his apartment, can't get out, don't know why, Strange chick next apartment over, weird hole in his bathroom, chains on the door....

And still got to play in the 'Alter World'.

I first played RE1-3 when I was young they was defiantly scary. Now when I got back and play them they are nothing but jump scares for me. I can really say the same about SH though, it still feels the same each time I play it. When comparing them both SH got the scariness right and what RE should of somewhat been like.

I'm in no way trying to put RE down, because I've always liked it better than SH.

I've always been a fan of RE. Another game that had great horror was RE Outbreak. RE 4 and RE5 lost that horror though. It was way too action/adventure.

I liked them. They played a major role in the game. They were so slow you could run around them, but they still got you every once in a while.

I didn't much care for them, I liked it more when I ran into a licker or something. That's usually when I'd get worried. If they'd bring back more monsters I'd like that. They also need to bring back a more scarier foe than what Nemesis was. I've never been freaked out by nothing more than Pyramid Head.

Nemesis was fuckin' awesome. I would really want to see some more of him. Maybe they should make Nemesis a big brother, lol.

Another series than went down hill is Hitman. I didn't really Like Hitman Contracts. Hitman Blood Money was better.

Final Fantasy has went down hill has been Final Fantasy. After X-2 it hasn't been as good. But 13 was pretty good, but still felt like it was lacking.
