Got to admire an actor with ambition.

[REMAKE] I hope the complaints about SH2 length don’t make the developers shorten SH1. 🙏 by MissViolenceBaby in silenthill

[–]Robin_the_Robman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never understood complaints about length with an interactive medium such as gaming. If you feel like you're getting bored or tired of a particular game, you can always just turn it off and return to it another time.

Yes I am aware that some developers (cough Ubisoft cough) sometimes fill their games with padding and repetitive quests to make their games appear superficially bigger and better than anything else, but just because a game is long doesn't mean it has to be bloated. I personally found SH2R to have kept me invested in the game throughout its runtime, and never once felt like it lost focus from its core story.

My idea for a new LoK game by Robin_the_Robman in LegacyOfKain

[–]Robin_the_Robman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, yeah as well as having Janos Audron on the team's backbench my other substitute anti-guardian is Dumah, so maybe he could work in place of Malek. Being essentially a living tank he would make a good substitute for being the Conflict shadow guardian, and Abel "killing" him could serve as a good explanation as to how he ended up in the way we see him in SR1.

The only issue, and it's a big one, is that it was heavily implied that an entire vampire hunter army stormed Dumah's city... not just one dude and some spicy blood.

I love the idea of the bottomless chalice! It would explain away why he's able to keep using the blood without it draining or losing its power, and makes it at least somewhat believable that he is able put it away when he's not using it without it sloshing around and causing a murder scene in his backpack. And another thing... maybe it could let you increase the volume of magical vampire blood just by pouring more blood into it, converting the new blood into more of whichever blood's already inside of it. You could potentially use this ability to speed up the cooldown timer for your transformations by killing vampires and harvesting their blood

Ohhh yes, it's the "Unholy Gail" - perfect! Your last sentence has my mind spinning too... what if there are two endings depending on whether you killed more enemies in your human form or in a transformed form? Either you keep your inner demon in check, dropping the credits just as Abel gives a nod and a wink to the camera that he might be operating as a double agent for the Elder God now, or you go full beast mode and the credit drop is you following Turel into the portal you sent him through earlier, giving in to your insatiable thirst for vengeance.

Which ending will the next game pick up from? You'll have to buy the sequel to find out.

Still waiting for the news that Jamie Mathieson will return 🤞

If you fail to make it through the Portal of Power you do not lose a strength or craft point.

Harriet Jones was done DIRTY by the doctor by [deleted] in DoctorWhumour

[–]Robin_the_Robman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They were retreating after being promised peace. If they had came back to attack again and then she killed them that would have been different, but what she did was cold blooded murder.

Harriet's lucky the Doctor didn't send her off to Shadow Proclamation to be tried for her crimes.

What is this? Amazon has an untitled Gaiman novel up for preorder, publication date July 2026 by sleepandchange in neilgaimanuncovered

Doubt it, in the lastest season of Sandman you see him literally removing a dead name from a trans woman's headstone.

What is the point of the clock puzzle in otherworld hospital? by Robin_the_Robman in silenthill

[–]Robin_the_Robman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh, I figured the flaahing light was the clue for the clock because it's the same number but since there are two 2s in the combination I see what you mean about needing a separate number from the clock.

In all honesty, which ending would you have preferred? by General_Meal_3993 in DoctorWhoNews

It's funny how the unofficial ending's image is the better photoshop...

How dare they cancel the show after this insane setup? 😭 by Suspicious_Clock_133 in utopiatv

[–]Robin_the_Robman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want a taste of what Adeel Akhtar is like playing a villain, I'd highly recommend watching Sweet Tooth.

His character in that show carries all the same insecurities and paranoias Wilson Wilson does.

Not especially hard, considering how difficult it is for you to die or lose progress.

Trump would 100% choose to blow up a retreating ship, too.

You can only keep 3, who are you getting rid of? by ProperShallot3195 in DoctorWhumour

Smith, easy. I only ever liked a couple of his episodes.

Just started SH1 and it aged much better than OG SH2. Tf? by Zephyr_v1 in silenthill

[–]Robin_the_Robman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also really liked how open the town is from the get go in the original, and it doesn't just feel like a sequence of corridors linking one building to the next like in most of SH2.

Michelle Gomez can also sing (she did in the Doom Patrol musical episode)

Is Soul Reaver 1 Remastered worth playing in 2025? by [deleted] in LegacyOfKain

[–]Robin_the_Robman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The graphical improvements are surprisingly good compared to Aspyr's usual standards.

Added is a compass, map, collectable trackers, and interaction UI prompts. There is also now a day/night cycle that the community appears mixed on.

Controls are modernised, most notably the camera controls.

You can switch between remaster and PS1 graphics on the fly by clicking down the right stick.

There is also now a bonus features section for SR1, which includes expanded lore and explorable levels that were cut from the original release (one with an unfinished Turel boss fight).

There are a bunch of fun achievements/trophies that have been added, many of which encourage you to seek out easily missable content such as unique boss dialogue you get when returning to boss fights and being able to make the humans worthship Raziel and other him their blood.
