So, I finished Silent Hill: Homecoming for the first time a few days ago (didn't have a PC that can run it till a month ago).
I don't know why are people so negative towards this game, as I found it worthy of the Silent Hill name. It kept all the good things from the first 4 SHs and threw a more intuitive combat system on top of that. I honestly like the way I wield my steel pipe (heheh) in Homecoming a lot more than in SH3 where a walking penis pummels me up if I don't press the X button in the right way to do an overhead swing as opposed to the random swatting around if I press the X button the wrong way.
