@All_bonesJones @Goalkeeper @Owl >One of the first things I saw in the game was a monster pinning Hinako to the ground and you get a button prompt to do a double-leg kick that launches him across the room.
do you have a clip of this? xD i never saw that in the game at all. any time you get grabbed by an enemy there's just an animation that happens and you get a bunch of damage dealt to you before hinako is able to finally shake the thing off. no button prompt at all. maybe there's a cutscene where she does that i'm forgetting about though.
@All_bonesJones @Goalkeeper @Owl oh okay you're talking about this: https://youtu.be/iyi-ncOXRzo?t=193
there's no button prompt, it's just an animation that plays out. he's not being shoved across the room either lol it's just a "get off me" move. heather in sh3 does similar stuff too i'm pretty sure.
and if you don't have enough health to survive the attack, she gets her head pummeled in to a pulp.
the polearm is a special weapon you get in the spirit realm, then there is also a katana and a lightsaber you can get in ng+, typical silent hill stuff, but every other weapon is just a mundane thing like a pipe or whatever. james can drag around and attack with the giant knife in sh2 somehow too lmao, these are video games, concessions will be made sometimes.
@All_bonesJones @Goalkeeper @Owl you only use the polearm in the spirit realm, which is either an actual spirit realm or a hallucinogenic representation of one. you aren't allowed to take it back with you.
this is a spoiler but none of you are actually going to play the game so i assume you won't care. when you're in the spirit realm in the latter half of the game, you literally get a BEAST ARM attached to you and are able to go beast mode and melt walls and shit.
you're talking about the game as you understand from some clips and maybe a review you've seen about a dude malding over it, i've actually played this game.
it is NOT a silent hill game. but trying to act like it is super woke because a woman (she's not 14 lmao) can push off a monster for a moment and use a polearm in a different reality in a VIDEO GAME is fucking insane.
>james can drag around and attack with the giant knife in sh2 somehow too lmao,
yeah and it takes like 2-3 seconds to actually swing the thing. it's completely impractical and reinforces how useless and weak he is. entirely different from "uses a polearm like its a soulslike" which reinforces COMPETENCE, not WEAKNESS, which undermines what makes horror effective
