Silent Hill: Ascension

It's sitting at 2.3 which is way to high. This was a mess, and watching it over is just painful, it's very boring just mindless small parts of one character, then to a different character, with nothing happening for most parts, if you don't know this came out as a daily episode, so you get a minute or two with different characters each day, so not much happens most times where they are trying to build up to something, which could takes weeks or months to happen, and it's a let down, them monsters are terrible, repetitive oh look so scary, the va's sound more like AI. Just the worst thing I've seen. It tries to focus more on the cult part of the first game, but teenage girls with a Ouija board are more threatening then this group, The characters are so one dimensional of evil guy is evil guy likes girl, just a giant nothing burger. The game part of this was somehow even worse, full of the same thing every time, push this swipe that. This thing should sweep the Golden raspberry awards, Innovation doesn't matter if it's awful. It's not watchable, at least the films have a funny it's so bad thing to it, this is just boring. There is no reason for it to exist. Your time would be better spent staring at a white wall. I cannot stress this enough of how bad this is, I've watches many terrible horror movies with pocket change budgets and those still are better then this. You're average Youtube skit from 2006 is better then this. You the person who is reading this could probably make something better then this. You could be tripping on LSD and have someone ask you to write a story about Silent Hill and even then it would be better then this. Ascension has no qualities of being a movie, a game, or a Silent Hill project, or anything that should of been created to begin with, and that doesn't even get into the battle pass and cash grab aspect of this thing. Take a vhs camera get drunk with some friends and go off memory of a Silent hill game, film it, uploaded to Youtube and that will be better. The MA stands for mainly awful with the rest better completely awful.

Yes, it seems like a disjointed series of cutscenes.. but it isn't godawful. I thought that perhaps it could have been better, (of course), but it does not warrant the scathing anger that everyone seems willing to hurl at it.

Sort of like watching the Rings of Power.. if you go into it expecting something, then you will be sorely disappointed. However, watching it with an open mind, and just suspend disbelief, it really isn't awful. The graphics... are meh. But the actually characters aren't bad. You can tell that trolls seemed to try and influence both it's creation and reception.. It's not that bad, and trolls influence aside, it's enjoyable.

Some of the worst garbage I've ever seen.

You can't convince me this was written and directed by human beings. It drips with the stink of AI-generated trash.

The animations are janky. The performances are universally flat and one-note. The character models are dead-eyed and lifeless. The dialogue is stilted, incoherent, and every scene is bumbling and aimless in search of a purpose that never materialises.

As abused as the Silent Hill franchise has been, it has never reached this utter nadir of ineptitude and creative bankruptcy before.

Everyone associated with this 'product' should be personally ashamed.

No one should ever make anything like this ever again.

Valiant effort.

Although the story develops slowly, there are several things that I would like to highlight about the story.

-The interactions and objectives of "the Order" had never been seen from the inside, which gives a point in favor of the expansion of the Silent Hill universe.

-Here the fact is left aside that only the protagonist and co-stars are able to see the changes in reality, which helps to know what the inhabitants of Silent Hill or surrounding places felt.

-Outside of what has been mentioned, the monsters are original but correctly following the style of the franchise, at least in monsters and setting, the world of blood, fog and monsters is well represented.

-The motivations of the characters are clear and understandable.

-I thought the community interaction was great, despite the negative reviews I have seen on the internet, the broadcasts are full of good expectations and good reception.

-It is difficult for a series in which the public themselves chose the decisions to go wrong, in this case it seems like an interesting approach and so far I am satisfied.

-The action scenes are interactive just like a TTG (tell tale games) style visual novel.

-There are several not very exciting activities that complement the experience but as a concept it seems very good to me, the only bad thing is how short the episodes are.

This is the worst that has happened to this franchise. The writing is abysmal, nothing fits or makes sense, there is so much forced exposition, nothing feels authentic. Its like the characters don't even hear what the others are saying at times. No wonder people think this is AI generated.

The animation is not much better. Its like PS2 level of animation upscaled to PS 3 level. There are tiny glimpses of good animation but the majority feels incredibly outdated.

The voice acting can't get anything across and seems wodden and monotone most of the time. When the voice acting is there, it doesn't fit the animation.

Silent Hill Ascension is only worth your time when you come together and laugh about how bad it is.
