That's the thing, if you enjoy that kinda plot, you enjoy the game, pretty much... What's going on, what role does this person play in the whole dealy, why does harry keep waking up from a bunch of different things like they were just dreams, why does he keeps going into some alternate world, etc etc...
The plot isn't for everyone... it's not as straightforward and easy as "We gotta go find BRAVO team!" and then "ACK WE GOTTA GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!" or "I have to find chris!" and then "Ok he's not here *runs*"
But yeah it's all opinions... and IMO, I think SH2 getting so much buzz was a bad thing... SH1 had more of a "cult following" or whatever you'd call it... it wasn't a big game and it was competing in a genre that was ruled by RE... but a lot of the people who stumbled upon the game liked it... it was something "special" and it was nice to get another good survival horror game that wasn't in the RE series... and then SH2 comes along and everyone's like "Hey a bunch of people say that Sh1 rocked!" and it goes into more of the mainstream spotlight when really I don't think SH is a mainstream kinda game...
If you're looking to have a good, fun gaming experience, look somewhere else (I mean I'm not saying the game is BORING, IMO, but it's not just a big fun romp
), if you're looking for a more cliche storyline that's not as complicated, look somewhere else... but if you want a deep plot with lots of questions to be answered and a great atmosphere and stuff, then SH is for you... as long as you weren't drawn in by a bunch of hype
I saw a commercial for the original SH and was just like "Oh man I gotta try this game" so I rented it... beat it... and immidiately said this is like twice as good as any of the RE games I had played up until then... And I rented it two more times I think... and then when it became greatest hits, finally bought it...
It's kinda like crouching tiger hidden dragon... I heard critics talking about it and they were like if you went to see it because you kind of "discovered" it on your own, you have a better chance of liking it than if you went to saw it because you heard so many people saying it's good... cuz if you hear so many people saying it's good and you go to see it, you kinda go with your arms crossed like "Ok yeah so what makes this so good, huh?"...
Yep...
