10 Video Games That Immediately Angered Fans – Page 7

Konami has once again put the boots to long-suffering Silent Hill fans by announcing that the first entry in the survival horror franchise in almost a decade – since 2014’s PT, if you even count that – would be an interactive multimedia experience that would split the difference between video game and television show.

Silent Hill: Ascension launched last Halloween and allowed players to watch a cinematic animated series unfold over six months, with players using phones or web browsers to vote on character choices and participate in common QTE sequences .

You can practically imagine the monkey’s paw curling when Silent Hill fans collectively begged Konami for more Silent Hill and… ended up with this soulless slop.

Fans have been infuriated by virtually everything about Ascension, from its horrible visuals to its ridiculous writing and is-it-an-AI voice acting. And because all that wasn’t gross enough, it was also filled with microtransaction nonsense, considering it was free to play and all.

By the time the film finally wrapped in April, the feeling among most Silent Hill fans was simply “thank goodness.”
