I can’t tell if this is a comment for or against Silent Hill f.

I doubt the legitimacy of a game awards where Silent Hil F got four nominations.

I haven’t seen a single positive review of the game.

Where were you looking then?
Not at any of the 159 positive reviews opencritic has aggregated? Not at any of the >5000 positive Steam user reviews just in the first week, either? Neither any of the ~60 positive reviews on GOG, either?
Where exactly did you look?

Whatever shows up in the feeds is what I saw and everything about that game was negative.
Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 4 months ago
¯_(ツ)_/¯ I liked it.

The backslash is the markdown escape character so you have yo double it.

Indeed I didn’t look, why would I?

I agree. As a Silent Hill fan, Silent Hill f was just a random action horror game skinwalking with the Silent Hill name. It was mid at best and had a lot of moments where I didn’t feel like I was playing a Silent Hill game at all. Which is extremely disappointing considering f was the one Silent Hill project I was actually excited about when Konami showed their other offerings (like Silent Hill Ascension, lol what a disaster that was).
Except the music. It was really cool music, so I can see it being nominated for that. I mean, it wasn’t really a Silent Hill OST, but the quality of the music was still good. Akira Yamaoka always makes bangers. At least it wasn’t Korn this time.

I saw one person claiming it had a different title during early development but Konami decided to just slap the Silent Hill branding over it to push sales up.

I don’t know if that is true, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
To me, it had the same feeling as Star Fox Adventures (which was actually Dinosaur Planet before it got the Star Fox branding). To me, The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild also had the same feeling, as if it was deigned as a new game but Nintendo felt it would sell badly / was too close to Zelda so slapped the Zelda name on it.
Its not a bad game on its own if you ignore the title. But without the title, I would never be able to say it is a Silent Hill game.

Damn if that’s true about Zelda BOW, that had to have been like pre production then.
Even when it was announced it was called Legend of Zelda: Unbound King (Unbound hinting about the open world structure)
