I know hatebreed is not traditional thrash but I feel like they could be spoken about in here. Has anyone listed to the new songs? I feel like they are just ok. Nothing special. They aren't bad. Just average songs though. I feel even more so since I just listened to the song that just released today. KILL COUNT INCREASE. It's the opening track. I feel like they haven't had an album out in years! I was expecting more from them. The first track should be KILLER! It seems more like a filler song to me though. If this is what's expected for the new album I'm going to be disappointed. It's not bad per say.. it's just nothing special. Opinions?

After playing through the Silent Hill series, including the original games and the Silent Hill 2 Remake, I went into Silent Hill f with high expectations. Unfortunately, while I can appreciate what the developers were trying to do, the game ended up being one of my least favorite entries in the franchise.

My biggest issue is that Silent Hill f does not capture the feeling that made the series special to me. The original Silent Hill games created fear through atmosphere: abandoned buildings, empty streets covered in fog, decaying environments, and the constant feeling that something was deeply wrong. The locations themselves felt like nightmares. In comparison, Silent Hill f’s environments often feel more like realistic Japanese countryside locations. They are visually interesting, but they rarely create the same sense of dread.

The horror style is also very different. Silent Hill f focuses heavily on Japanese folklore, symbolism, transformation, and themes of beauty and decay. I understand that this is intentional, but it simply did not connect with me the way the psychological horror of Silent Hill 2 did. Enemies like the flower creatures were meant to be disturbing, but they did not have the same impact as the unforgettable monsters from previous games.

The story also takes a direction that I struggled to connect with. The constant switching between realities and the wolf arm mechanic felt disconnected from what I consider the core identity of Silent Hill. Instead of feeling like I was trapped in a psychological nightmare, it sometimes felt closer to a fantasy horror experience.

My ranking of the series reflects what I value most in Silent Hill. My favorite remains the original Silent Hill 2, followed by Silent Hill 1, Silent Hill 2 Remake, and Silent Hill 3. I would even place Silent Hill 4: The Room above Silent Hill f because, despite its flaws, it still captured the feeling of being trapped in an unsettling nightmare.

I would place Silent Hill f above games like Origins, Homecoming, and Downpour, but only slightly. Those games also struggled to capture the original atmosphere of the series, but Silent Hill f still feels like it has a stronger identity and more ambition.

Ultimately, I don’t think Silent Hill f is a bad game. I just don't find fighting flowers particularly scary. It has impressive visuals, a unique artistic direction, and clearly has a story it wants to tell. However, for fans who love Silent Hill because of the fog, isolation, disturbing monsters, and psychological horror of the original games, it may feel less like a true Silent Hill experience and more like a different style of horror game carrying the Silent Hill name.

Long story short..... I've been playing the heck out of my PS5 lately. Mostly playing PS4 and some PS5. Decided to go back to my ps3 that I haven't played in about a year which has been connected to the same TV that it's always be connected to... Never had any problems with it at all. Now it doesn't work anymore. It turned on but I can't play a disc. The console takes the disc but then nothing happens. It doesn't spin or boot up or anything. Could it just be the cd reader? Or laser? I don't know much about electronics. All I know is it worked fine and now it doesn't. I don't even see how that could happen? Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

I kinda just buy whatever smells good to me. I didn't really know that Colognes had different times of the day and year to wear them. What would you recommend for a good summer cologne? I'm looking for something that smells fresh and nice in hot weather. Some of my favorites that I wear are here... Not listed in any order at all. Just cologne that I own and wear.

What can I add to my collection for the summer?

I'm new to limited run games. I do notice that they have released some old nes games (Jaws, Battle Toads) and some PS1 and ps2 games (Blood omen, Beyond good and Evil) that I'm really interested in. I think this is great! I would love to have some of my older games in my current new and playable collection! Does anyone have a list of these games? Or know which ones have been released or will be released? Nes, Snes, PS1 and Ps2! Those are what I'm really interested in. Thank you.

I recently tried omakase for the first time and it completely changed the way I look at sushi. It was honestly the best sushi I have ever had. Every piece tasted incredibly fresh and carefully prepared, and the entire experience felt special from start to finish.

The downside is that regular sushi just doesn't hit the same anymore. After experiencing that level of quality, I can really notice the difference when I go back to places I used to love. In fact, my favorite sushi restaurant isn't really my favorite anymore because it just doesn't compare.

Omakase is definitely more expensive, and I probably won't have it all the time, but for me the quality and overall experience made it worth every penny. Now I'm curious if anyone else has had the same experience. Did trying omakase raise your standards for sushi, or am I the only one who feels like regular sushi isn't quite the same afterward?

Trying to get the platinum trophy. Does anyone have a current playthrough with the radiant Ending unlocked? Or about to finish the game with the radiant Ending? I didn't realize there is a last stigma/umbral that I have to go back to view. I really don't feel like doing a whole another playthrough just to get one Umbral. My name in PSN is SuchRemorse. If you don't mind helping and letting me join the game just hit me up. I'm playing now. Thank you.

Ok so I have played the game 4 times already. I did every single quest. I'm playing on PS5. There is one trophy for defeating all bosses and I still don't have it unlocked yet. Is there any secret boss or something that I missed? What is the most likely boss to miss? Like I said I'm in my 4th playthrough and I did all story lines. What am I missing?

Just finished my first playthrough. I’m looking for a solid co-op partner to grind this out with. Ideally someone who either already has the platinum or really knows all the quests, missables, and endings so nothing gets overlooked. Trying to be efficient and not miss anything this time around.

If you’re experienced and down to run co-op, help with bosses, questlines, and cleanup for trophies, hit me up. Let’s get this platinum done.

I just beat the boss in Bramis Castle. I'm assuming I'm close to the end of the game. I have 24 vestages open and as far as I know I've completed them all. Maybe I missed some? There is no (!) on any of them and I don't know where else to go. Can anyone help me please? I'm playing on PS5 and my name is SuchRemorse if anyone wants to play. Just send me a friend request and we can do this. I'll help back anyway I can.
