Room of foolish discomfort
I spent the last day of the recently died year with playing and finishing Silent Hill 3. For second time of course. It wasn't exactly as satisfying as repeating James' Silent Hill 2 or Harry's Silent Hill, but it was still perfect fear in well known twisted world once again. With difficulty set on hard this time there were some cool new and usually too hard mysteries to solve.
So the fourth masterpiece once again came to my mind. I actually finished it one time only. Sincerely I personaly live in a flat really similar to the one pictured in The Room and I'm happened to be quite closing my life for some time against the world outside. So you understand how much I looked forward to Henry's adventure.
Disappointment was nearly devasting. I remembered some minor technical issues from my first way throught Ashfield, but this time they blow in my face like... eh... never mind. I'm pc player with no gamepad and controlling Harry is pain in the ass. You press left he goes to the screen's left no matter if he's just facing up, down or right. Sane hero must rotate! Also there's some annoying loading in the middle of corridors and i can't conceal the shitty quality of ingame videos (low framerate, unfocused edges).
Silent Hill 4 is still high above majority of computer games. It's deep, devastating and touching. Can't forget shambeling down the spiral staircase tailed by real life attractive chick with number carved in her skin... or The Room naturally.
Damn you! You treasure producing Konami ignoring poor PC players down to their bones! Shame on you! (And some shame on software pirates for not fixing programmers' poor work for true hearted fans too.)
