The second I heard the tagline “Face Your Trauma Together” during the original teaser, I thought it was going to flop.
Clearly Genvid doesn’t exactly have respect for SH fans or for gamers in general.
I (genuinely) don’t understand. What exactly was disrespectful?
Aside from microtransactions, releasing an unfinished product that broke on day one, and being overall low quality compared to the Team Silent games, they are essentially making fun of trauma and PTSD as a concept. Compare that to Silent Hill 2, which was very respectful in how it handled the concept of trauma and PTSD, and it becomes quite obvious.
The fact that this sticker exists:
Should tell you enough.
Other than Telltale’s games, when has an “episodic” game not been this way?
I think the life is strange games did it pretty well
Aside from the point that SH:A is just another over-monetized scam, I am quite interested in how much money that first stream garnered them. Because the more I read about it it seems like everyone and their grandmother bought into it to try it out.
I am sincerely hoping that isn’t the case.
