[riderkid]

a new week a new episode plus an announcement on the board. from the halloween episode on gamefans TV will be a 2 eps a month affair to allow me more time to test games out. the reason for this eps delay was due to me getting DSL and spendding more time with silent hill homecoming. also this board wil get an exclusive downloadable rights to each ep via megaupload starting with halloweens extreme double length episode.

also i review games with grades rather than numbers

This week i spent some time with my friend victor with his thoughts on fallout 3 and we joke around with the game.

Remember when you posted about this before, and it was moved to the other section? And remember when you posted about it a second time and no one replied? Perhaps you could try posting this in either of those threads?

first off

i love your gamertag. I have to play you when i get a new 360.

2nd
i figured a gaming webcast belongs in gaming but for future reference i will move all further gamefans TV casts to off topic.

i just figured for a 2nd episode a 2nd post should be done. plus i had a announcement about how the sereis will be made in the coming months.

but still thanks for the criticism. its used to make it a better cast for all

[Dot50Cal]

Its fine to put here, it is gaming related, afterall.

[Mr. Spencer]

[riderkid]

Your SH:HC review was very loud. It sounded like you were screaming into the mic at some points . Had to turn down the volume

I'm playing the game now and I'm not having a problem with the enemies at all. You just have to use the right weapon for the enemy you're fighting. That's probably the most important aspect of the fighting system. The only time you really have to dodge is when figting Siams, Needlers, and during Boss Fights. Other than that, using a fast weapon like the knife works wonders, especially if you do light, light, heavy combos. The enemies never get to attack you since you're the fastest with your knife. In previous games, you could stick to using the strongest weapons, but in this game, you need to adapt fast to the situations presented. Once you get used to it though, the battle system is pretty easy.

As for the horror, yeah, you're right, the ability to control the camera does remove some of the horror aspect, but if you want the horror to still be there, turn down the brightness and play with the flashlight off for about an hour.

Especially after you take out the power plant and you some how turn off the sun and then BAM, a siam comes the fuck out of no where at the prison. I needed my flashlight on for that part

[riderkid]

thats the thing i did use most of the weapons, hell the guns did less damage than the pipe

[Project Omega]

Personally, I only use the handguns on Smogs and Rifle'd order members, the shotguns on Siams, pipe/crowbar on needlers, and everything else gets my knife

Spoiler:

As far as boss battles go, the first boss battle, I used knife, and the second one, I used the crowbar. I'm currently at the Prison and am sure I could have back tracked to see Curtis again to see if he fixed Alex's dad's gun yet, but I doubt it. I'm not sure if I'll see Shepards Glen again though

[riderkid]

i guess no one thought about why i mentioned the movie though....ITs a near direct sequel to the damn movie!


....you found the rifle??? where is it.

[Project Omega]

It's in the Silent Hill Cemetery; after you solve the Janus Statue puzzle; just insert the correct gems into the statue and it should give you a key to open up another part of the cemetery. The rifle will be there. The gems are hidden through out Silent Hill, but I managed to find them before even entering the Power Station. Just look around and look for gemstones. Examine them to find out what month they correspond to and then insert them on the appropriate side of the statue.

[riderkid]

oh...i never saw these gemstones...thats bull (not ot you but the programmers

[Mr. Spencer]

This is why I prefer RE.

Silent Hill is too...psychological for my tastes.
