Does Silent Hill Origins get any better?

[MIKE]

First time playing silent hill origins and just got to the sanitarium. Im just finding the combat and the game itself extremely boring. For anyone who has played through the whole game is it worth finishing?

[Narrowmind]

I found the little additions worth seeing once, but it doesn't get much better, no - at least in my opinion.

It does not get any better. The game is just a mix of classic SH tropes done worse than the originals with worse graphics.

[Sul Haren]

No, any Silent Hill after the original 4 kinda sucks. Origins is the least bad, but still not great.

[Mögbär]

Turning the flashlight off to sneak around the monsters instead of fighting them whenever possible is what changed the game for me. It's scarier that way and there are too many monsters in it anyways.

[Donaldo Trumpado]

Nope. Origins is pretty bad, honestly. Some interesting ideas, but as a one-off thing it's pretty lame

[DarakuGato]

It's much better than 4. Origins doesn't have a really bad escort mission for the 2nd half of it's story.

Origin was only "good" because it was on the PSP and for a Mobile Horror Game it was okey.
It was the Last "better" Game in the SH Universe and after Origin it went all Downhill.

Play SH1-2-3 or give 4 a try... They all are better

Any Silent Hill except 1 and 2, eventually 3 is not something you could call a good game, so there's no reason to expect it, that said, if you're interested in the lore, every Silent Hill game has it, and if that's the reason then maybe it's worth it, assuming you're a fan.

I don't know what to answer whether it's worth finishing, I'm not sure what you're in it for, but if you're bored you can always uninstall and install it in future, because, well, games are forever. If you don't feel like it, you can always play it some other time when you'll be interested.

Looking at it nowadays, it honestly feels like a mod for one of the old games or a fan game built on them. If you're desperate for more SH I guess it can be worth it? But no, it won't get any better. It is what it is.

[Arduous Wolf]

I've played though it and apart from one part of the ending, I don't actually remember any of it, come to think of it. So yeah that game really left an impression on me, lol.

This game was made for the PlayStation Portable at the time. Later it was ported to PlayStation 2. So, this game had it`s limitations and does not get better.

At the time Konami also had finished the Team Silent, decided to outsource and "gave" all creative production and direction to a guy named Tomm Hullet.

After that all fans of thefranchise know what happend.

Ive played and finished 1,2,3,homecoming,pt, and short message. Wanted to play one of the other games before silent hill 2 release so I picked Origins. Just not having as much fun compared to the others. Even had a lot of fun with homecoming even though it was the most hated. I might give 4 a try.

SH4 has some giant flaws, but it also has some very interesting ideas too, so it deserves at least a try.
