That game... so bad.
It is, admittedly, the best of the worst of the Silent Hill series though. :/
Which is your least favorite?
Origins. Downpour is fairly close hough.
Degrading weapon systems in survival horror games are ***.
Downpours story makes literally 0 sense. Most of the endings would require retconning the entire game to fit in. Murphy Pendleton is a shitty character. No Yamaoka music loses big points.
Origins purpose was to clear up some of the confusion of the plot of the original Silent Hill. Confusion that only existed for people who didn't read the memos placed throughout the game. Instead it confused it even more.
It also gave the town the ability to manifest the nightmare, even though the nightmare never existed before Silent Hill 1, when Alessa accidentally infused the towns spiritual power with satanic magic due to being impregnated with Satan.
The game paints Alessa as an evil person bent on annihilating the inhabitants of Silent Hill, despite 99.999999999999999% of the inhabitants being innocent of the crimes committed against her. Even though in SIlent Hill 1 she is painted as a good person attempting to seal the town off from the outside world so the nightmare doesn't spread any farther once she realizes what she did to it.
Just.. blegh.
