one is a horror series, the other is a shooter series with horror elements

they don't compare

Resident Evil drifted further and further away from Survival Horror into Action Shooty Game.
Silent Hill went from great psychological horror into nothing at all.

>Silent Hill is supposed to be the scary one
>Carry as much ammo as it exists in the world
>Out of ammo? Here's a whole arsenal of melee weapons.

grand theft auto or crazy taxi?

YA YA YA YA YA

Resident Evil for general combat, boss fights, and speeding through the game, doing challenge runs and unlocking stuff. Even the old, tank control games are better than Silent Hill at this.
Silent Hill is better at everything else, including actually being scary.

Resident Evil has more good games than Silent Hill at this point.

>silent hill 1-3 = kino
>RE1 - 4 = kino
> all later entries = shit
Survival horror is dead

DAY AFTER DAY YOUR HOME LIFE'S A WRECK

I used to think they were the same thing as a kid

even 'off brand' re games are still fun

silent hill lost it's way and didn't even fall back on schlocky gameplay

Silent Hill was given to gaijin, to be fair.

>gaijin
thanks, I cringed

RE for casual fun and frequent replays
SH for savoring and only playing through once every couple years

Take that for what you will

This, SH has a better story and is creepier, but RE is more fun and more replayable

Never Liked Silent Hill
Only RE I like is 4, so RE is better.

At least Resident Evil is still alive.

orange of course

that’s fucking retarded user, anyone with taste would pick craxy taxi in a heartbeat

Green Apples >>> Oranges >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Red Apples

The gameplay of SH2 + the story of RE 4 = GOAT

Music
SH > RE
Shooting
RE > SH
Replayability
RE > SH
Bosses
SH > RE
Overall they’re tied. SH1 and 2 are two of the best games ever made but first 4 RE games are all great too.

Silent Hill was good only up to the second one.
RE didnt start being good until RE2 Remake.

Silent Hill had 3 masterpieces in a row(1-3) with the rest being between OK to terrible
Resident Evil had 2 masterpieces (REmake and RE4) with the rest being from great to Terrible
If SH ended at 3, it would be the clear winner, but now there are more bad games than good whereas RE still has more good games than bad.

Merge them.

Resident Evil is SURVIVAL horror meanwhile Silent Hill is survival HORROR

damn that actually makes sense

>RE didnt start being good until RE2 Remake.
Ultra cringe

woah

Silent Hill has a cool story and atmosphere but Resident Evil shits on it so hard mechanically.

Silent Hill isn't survival horror

Soggy Moldy Apples>(Everything you just posted)

Like he said, it's survival HORROR

Silent Hill 4 was just as transgressive, artsy and impactful as the first three. Some people did not have patience for the inventory management or apartment sequences, but there's your basis for Silent Hills bro. Four was the forerunner.

As for how "frustrating" the escort half was, Eileen's AI was fine. She was a decent fighter, and caring for her added so much tension and dread. Tension and dread, that's exactly what I play Silent Hill for. Terrific visuals and music too, which four has as well.

Is it for masochists? Sure, all the Silent Hills are for masochists. Four just takes it to the extreme. It is deliberately horrifying to play.

I prefer Silent Hill, but it’s dead and buried, at least Resident Evil can still be good every other game

story wise SH
gameplay wise SH as well, fuck it I was about to say RE but after 4 the series went backwards

Well SH 1-4 are all 11/10 games so the answer is obviously Siren.
