Continuation of the previous clip.
Konami remaking Silent Hill 2 and putting in anything even remotely resembling modern Resident Evil-like combat is kind of like if WayForward or whoever remade the original Clock Tower, except they put a chaingun in Jennifer's hands and turned it into Contra. Shit, they may as well just <volume warning> do this </volume warning>, at that point.
I love that Pat is getting legitimately upset about this (the whole Silent Hill 2 Remake thing in general, not just the combat stuff), because I'm right there with him. Silent Hill is basically dead and has been for a decade or two. As Pat pointed out, Silent Hill 4 was released in 2004, and SH4 isn't even the worst Silent Hill game, at least in retrospect. But SH4 was certainly the point at which Silent Hill went from "can do no wrong" to "eeeehhhhh... *shrug*"
Seriously, Konami, I'm begging you. Just stop.
