Message: [QUOTE="WarpKaiser, post: 133056, member: 191192"] For metroidvania there is already a proper name for that genre: Search-Action from the Japanese: 探索型アクション. For souls-like. I didn't play them but they look like Action-RPGs. What is the difference between those and games like Diablo or Elder Scrolls beyond the camera perspective (and the mouse movement in the case of Diablo. Although the PS1 port you can control the player with the d-pad)? [HR][/HR] My hot takes: Silent Hill 1-3 have excellent combat, not bad or intentionally bad to make it more scary like some people like to say, and is better than the combat in Resident Evil 1-3. With SH1 I can understand the complains because is janky. And SH2 lacks enemy variety. But with SH3 there is no excuse, that game is perfect all around. Also I like to add that in the case of the original PlayStation 2 ports. Silent Hill 2 and 3 uses the pressure sensitive buttons of the Dual-Shock 2 to execute the combos. People who play this games with an emulator forget or ignore this fact and think the combat lacks deep and complexity. [HR][/HR] Another hot take: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 are the true 3D Search-Action/Metroidvania games and not the Souls-Born franchise. 1: Both SR1 and SR2 has exploration, back tracking, puzzle-solivg, [B][I]platforming[/I][/B] and unlockable abilities that you need to use to unlock the next area. 2: The first game in LoK franchise, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. Is a top down Zelda clone in a dark fantasy setting. And IGA himself said that for Symphony, he took more cues from Zelda rather than Metroid, turn out the map was misleading! [/QUOTE]
