Silent Hill 2 |OT| You promised you'd take me there again someday...

I am waiting for a patch for soft lock/stuttering issues and a speed run guide for underground segments before buying. I hate that shit in the original and want to skip as much as possible. Also, the optimist in me wants to wait for a GOG release.

I don't know if this was in the original but hidden by the resolution or whatever but I keep noticing these little...metal tubes on enemies. Like Pyramid Head. He has that metal tube on the right side of the "pyramid". Something about that type of medical shit always horrifies me even more. It's a tiny detail but disturbing.
 
those sounds just before you bashing them with leg and just before they die..like high pitch women sound ...its so deep rly.. its like what i just did ... i cant forget that rly...its scary game i would say ..if you all about sounds and put headphones , this will be hard to take...like wtf
its even like some small girl cry or smt...so suttle but its there...
for me now its like are you gonna do that cryin the end...ahh shit...imagine what of before we kill them like bash them they becoming themsefs again and then die..!!!! ftw!!

about dodging it doesnt work...i was in room with like 6 of them and i even saw thgem before atack still i need to use like 5 drinks just because they are faster then my attack. so not sure how deal with that..shoot ?!
i mean you should be faster then them to attack no ? if you see them or not but i smash button ...and they still attacked first..no

You can attract some enemies by making noises, i don't know if it is random but i bashed my stick against a wall and sometimes they come to you, maybe you can separate a couple of them from the group?!

Or maybe kill a couple of them with the gun and then go ham with the wood stick.
 
James definitely wins for best screams and grunts while stomping or bashing the shit out of enemies. Isaac Clarke dethroned.

Sometimes it seems like the sounds he emits is dependent on his health. Like at times Ive been pretty low and finishing off those abominations sounds way more agonizing.

Bloober would be stupid to not do remakes for at the very least Silent Hill and Silent Hill 3. I do want to see Silent Hill 4 as well though.

that's on Konami but they sound happy with SH2. Fingers crossed they green light additional projects asap.
 
Silent Hill 4 is the scariest silent hill game btw. They better do that one too. The enemy in the water level with the two heads make my skin crawl.
 
Beat it today and absolutely loved it, which is all I could as for as someone that adored the original. I personally don't see how it could be any better, I loved how they approached everything. It definitely felt like it was taken care of and the project was done with passion. Kudos to Bloober.

I really help it sells well enough to continue. I can't help but feel like it's going to as Bloober has already made comments about this not being their last dive into Silent Hill. We have to see 1&3 and 4. The engine is there, the mechanics are there. Just build off of it and everything will continue to be great.

Having just looked up the VA for maria, guess what?

Does Eddie really have two different voice actors in game? Seems like that first "Eddie" in that article does the voice and then they modeled him off the second "Eddie" and the article is wrong. Could be me being wrong, though.

It's just one for voice, and the other for likeness. Which I thought was interesting. Every other actor and actress did both. I'm assuming the one that did likeness couldn't do VA for some reason, or maybe they just didn't think his voice fit? Not sure, but pretty neat.

You can look up both of their IMDB and they're both credited, though the voice actor is just credited for "(voice)."

So I know the main spoiler of the ending from following games for the past three decades, but I'm eager to finish this game and really dive into theories on just what is going on and, especially, why the characters act the way they do in these situations.

None of them ask pertinent questions or theorize about the wild shit going down. Is it because they're drugged? Brainwashed? Something about the town takes over their minds to direct them on a certain course? are some questions I have as I'm on what I think is the last section of the game.

Havent finished the game yet (tho I know spoilers from the original game), but my take is that
they know they are in some kind of purgatory. They just dont want to accept the reason why they are there. So they dont talk about it.

People summoned to Silent Hill are in a special state of mind. Perhaps SH makes you not care about such things. James says as much that he doesn't care if it's dangerous.

oof .. talk about some real 'first world problems' ass problems.

Got SH2 in the mail today, but I have to depart for a long weekend expedition, and by the time I come back on Monday, Metaphor should be delivered that day.

I gotta imagine this won't take 80 hours like Metaphor so this would get first priority. Then hopefully I can finish metaphor before Dragon Age comes out.

Much like the original, the only character that hints that they have an idea of what is going on is Eddie. Not entirely, of course. But he definitely makes a number of comments that make you tilt your head. Angela and Laura are just going through it. It isn't until later when James understands.

Massive kudos to them for these details. You also notice James looking more and more tired as the story goes on, his nails even get dirtier.
 
I just finished Silent Hill 2: Enhanced Edition, which was my first time playing the original Silent Hill 2 since borrowing a PS2 in my late teens. The game feels so small in comparison; it took me around 6.5 hours to finish, taking my sweet time exploring.

Truly a bizarre experience right after playing through the Remake twice, I enjoyed myself a ton but man, two decades of a jump in quality here is just the showcase of how far we have gone... Sorry but people saying this otherwise fantastic mod is the superior way of experiencing Silent Hill 2 in 2024 are off their rocker.

What it really shows is how amazing the Remake is as a reinterpretation of the source material, improving on it in every possible way. Yes, that most definitely also includes both writing and acting. Those "glimpses of the past" make so much more sense now. I'm blown away by how much from the original stuff is still there, yet how radically all areas got reworked in the Remake. How they managed to take somewhat weaker areas like the Labirynth and turn it into an absolute highlight of a chapter. How old puzzles were redesigned and expanded on — I would pick up items and immediately know what to do, but not necessarily where to go, as the level layout is just... a game of its time and additionally confusing to navigate due to the old-school camera. The combat is peak jank, does the job, but then again, the way Bloober upgraded those encounters, especially boss fights, while staying true to their core concepts is awe-inspiring... turning them into modern, mechanically upgraded renditions of the old designs, rather than ditching them and making something totally from scratch...

I'd definitely recommend anyone who hasn't played the original to do so now after the Remake. It's a true eye-opener.

Just got out of the apartments, really liked the otherworld and the changes they made. Had to look up the moth puzzle lol. I just wish it ran better on PS5.
