You handled that really well Cry. You didnt just blow off everyone who had a problem with the lack of warnings but also didnt completely give in for the sake of pleasing people like other youtubers. You did your own thing but it had a level of respect.
Some people seriously requested a warning? Wow... Silent Hill has been around for 1999, one would think that 16 years are enough time to have the message get around that it is a franchise build around psychological trauma and serious shit like rape, murder and abuse. But nope, seems, like some people still think, it is about some nice quiet hill covert with flowers and fairy glitter.
Did you not dwell on the previous comment section? Or do you not dwell on the internet at all? Some people refuse to learn, and it's up to other to people to deal with whatever problem comes with that....
I am aware that people love complaining. But come on, even my mom knows that SH is not some nice kiddy puzzle game and she doesn't even play anything other then Candy Crush ಠ_ಠ
People nowadays are just so entitled anyway,things have to be tailor made to their specification.They get offended over someone not doing something for them in this instance placing a "trigger warning".When it is really their own job to be extra careful and go research about what they come into contact with,when they themselves know full well they have issues we certain subject matters.
Have you seen the recent ones? There is nothing like this. Nothing even remotely innerving in fact. Please be respectful of people's healing processes.
I think it's very considerate of Cry to put up warnings. On that note this is a horror game designed to be more than jumpscares. Silent Hill is well known for being a game with things that yes, can trigger you. I don't see the point of a warning in a game like this. like Cry said, do your research and look at the imbd. You can't expect everyone to apologize and always warn you when you too can research. If you know you're sensitive to certain things then don't go blindly into shit. I'm not agaisnt trigger warnings because I understand what it's like, but the use of triggers is getting out of hand at this point
Exactly my thoughts, well said thank you. Silent Hill is nothing but dealing with mental problems, suicide, abuse etc. and it would be time consuming to point out each trigger on their own since nearly every scene in the entire franchise is influential. But I guess some people just want to watch the videos no matter what or they don't know about the game but the responsibility of an *intense psychological horror* is not up to Cry.
I have PTSD and the truth is you never know what your triggers can be until it happens. That being said I usually research the fuck out of the enterment I find and make sure I have an idea what I'm getting into.
I meant you never know what all your triggers are some times. I'm still finding some unfortunate. That being said it's up to me to learn what my limits are and not except others to do the work.
Wow, wasnt expecting a warning from you. I just kinda assumed peeps would realize this game would have ALL of the things that could trigger peeps, and therefore would watch the video realizing this. On another note, the music in this game is really getting to me. I keep getting scared that something will happen. I'm so glad I'm not playing this myself...
That's what i'm saying. I understand people getting triggered and such, but they should have the decency to look up the description or the game up beforehand. It's Silent Hill, a game the dwells into the unnatural and anything that makes people uncomfortable. At this point some people shouldn't be on the internet if they easily get this offended.
ZGUnlimited THIS ^^^^^^ I completely agree. At this point, people are only getting mad, for the sake of being angry. This game is world-renown for it's psychological warfare and it's beyond horror elements. I am honestly speechless at this situation.
Like someone else said, if they go through life needing to be warned by any little bit of fear or gore, then they're gonna have a tough time. I'm not saying people are going to pick on them, i'm just saying they'll have trouble dealing with situations on the internet and connecting without people in the world.
Good let's play as always Cry. :3 And it was considerate for you to put up the trigger warnings, and for all of you out there, who's trauma is so crippling, the suggestion or depiction, (in any media), of rape or sexual assault will send you into a panic attack: I recommend instead of lashing out in the comment section, *you seek help*. Many people have suffered, and *my heart goes out to all of you*, but Cry doesn't deserve your anger. I empathize it can be difficult to overcome such events, but you cannot let the event control you for your entire life, or ruin it. You're a survivor, and a very strong person. *You all deserve to be happy, and I wish you the best. Have a good day.*
wait, what? someone actually being nice in cry's comment section? that's bullshit. this isn't real. you CAN'T be real. (forreal though, you're really cool, congrats on that)
GuyWithChainsaw Sometimes the Cry fans can be very sweet, though yes sometimes we lash out over hot-button issues which should not be discussed under Cry's videos. People suffering out there deserve a voice and sympathy, but they should also not verbally attack Cry… :)
***** Yeah. I never really've been through any traumatic situation (accept bullying if you can count it) so you can say im stupid however i think People with such traumatic expiriances should try to fight things like that, accept that these things happened and will happen (unfortunatelly). If you get mad or sad everytime someone talks about it or shows such content you'll never make peace with your life. i know it probably takes time though and fight is tough. I also realise it's like Angela said "It's easier just to run.". Of course if someone laughs at these kind of things or victums of such happenings (which is not the case here). I think then we shouldn't be silent. Sorry for long comment with my terrible english. Have a nice day :)
It's been a while since I've watched a new Cry play-through, and I've gotta say, while I don't know exactly what's different about his style, I fucking love it. It's really cool to see how he and his mannerisms have changed over the past months. Loving these vids, Cry!
I really love the music in this - 09:40 Also, James sounds like he's the atypical stereotype NPC trading merchant, but instead of selling overpriced goods he became the protagonist of a horror game. I love it. And the audio's not that bad, don't worry about it.
I really love Cry for always putting warnings on his videos. My triggers don't often show up in video games and even when they do it's not often too bad for me, but I love that he watches out for his fans like that.
"Yes sir, I would like for two Maki rolls, one Nigiri- Red Tuna if you may, and som--- I'm sorry sir, I'll call you back to get my order, Cryaotic's video is up. Yes. Shut the fuck up sir, it's Silent Hill. Alright. Thank you sir." **hangs up** I will have no food tonight.
XyerDark But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. And the science gets done and you make a neat gun.
Cry I wanted to say how much I enjoy hearing commentary from someone with your sense of humor and play style. More composed then most and you insure that viewers can hear the cut scenes and you read all messages to the viewers. Thank you very much.
sooo.....ppl thought this was gonna be some story with rainbows and gumdrops or something? Its bloody silent hill fer crying out loud. Who in the their right mind would think this would be anything BUT psychological horror. Some ppl need to get with the times srsly. I mean the series has 5(6 if u count pt) entries alrdy and ppl are surprised by this?
Maybe people who like Cry and want to help support him, even at the duress of their own comfort. The trigger warning helps those who can manage their anxiety prepare, and tells those who cannot that this video/game probably wouldn't be suitable for them.
Honestly, at this point I think it's more an expectation than anything else, because that's the world/culture/society we live in now. People are so used to tags and warnings that I wonder how many go by those alone and don't bother checking any further. I think its a little silly myself, but then I grew up before any of that was a thing, so. Yeah.
Gagoushou Yeah, because warning labels were never a thing until like 10 years ago.... People have been taking precautions for physical injury for decades. Now people are focusing on precautions from mental injury....Especially for those who already deal with a mental disorder like anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
TheSvnoyi Because the warning labels from ten years ago are EXACTLY the same thing, and would TOTALLY be accepted as is by the standards people have now.
This is a perfect example of why I enjoy you as much as I do. Your videos make me smile and make me forget about how horrible of a day I had experienced. For all the stuff going on with this game, you didn't make it, you're playing it. And this has literally been one of my favorites to watch of you. So thank you for playing this, I enjoy seeing you get scared
It was very considerate of you to put up the warning. You took the time to care, for once in a long time, another human cared about someone else, it's extremely refreshing.
Just want to say that as a fan of yours for about 3 years now (and a feminist with PTSD at that!) I think your response and action are on point. Including the 'one and only' warning is all that should be necessary as well as your description about how you're not educated in respect to sensitivity training (paraphrasing here). Thanks Cry for being a good guy and for trying to reach compromise. I think you did an excellent job. Keep up the good videos!
I had no idea about the shitstorm going on in the other comments, but I would just like to say that I really enjoy you playing this game cry. It has been my joy the last few days and I think you handled the situation really well. It's been 14 years and people should know that Silent Hill includes horrifying scences, but it is stupid to call these people whimps because they would like to be warned. Many are new to gaming and does not know what the series is about. But I would just like to point out that this has been a total joy for me and probably many others as of late. So keep up the good work! You are doing great :D Love your videos!
I'm glad that Cry put up a warning with no fuss about it, but I'm sad and a bit bewildered that he had to in the first place. Even if you haven't been exposed to Silent Hill before, one should at least know that it's been praised as the king of psychological horror games, and that it has imagery and scenes that could potentially be triggering to those with mental illnesses or past events. It's always worth to check before watching something -- don't blame Cry for it; NOBODY is to blame for it. But taking precautions before watching something new just in case never hurts.
lol maybe that's why Final Fantasy stayed away from it so long. In fact, the most popular long running game series don't have voice actors (Used to be FF, but Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Mario, etc.)
This was made back when voice acting in games was still up and coming. No actual, legitimate voice actors considered the roles worth having, and most game developers used employees to voice the roles to save on money. Regular people are generally crap when placed behind a microphone because they get the idea that it's "not real" and it affects their acting ability by making them sound stale and monotone. Kinda like how the average person acts different if they know they're on camera. They attempt to "act natural" but it always turns out wrong.
The creators of this game purposely wanted this kind of odd voice acting. The voice actor that played James said so himself and so did many other people who were affiliated with Silent Hill. They wanted us to feel like we were in a really weird dream while playing this game and the 'weird' voice acting helped with that a lot.
Love the play-through Cry, but hell, I'll love pretty much anything you play, nice to see some classics though! Thanks for being you Cry, you really made my day :3
Other than his videos, the best goddamn thing I like is his video descriptions. I always make sure to pause the video and read the descriptions first. And let's all just enjoy life. Don't be so stressed. It's just a game. And feelings are more important than that. Cry has feelings and that's more important.;)
I must admit that this whole commentary section, and previous one as well, is funny, especially comments like "omg ppl didnt yo now that? Its Silent Hill, duh, what did u expect". No. Not everyone knows Silent Hill, and it is not a crime. You also say things like "lol this game is full of blood and death and other things, and u are whining about one scene". Well, I can easily watch scenes and gameplays containing death, blood, canibalism, and many other horrible things, but I want to shoot the monitor when it comes to animal abuse. Think of it that way - for some people blood and things like that are acceptable to watch, and sexual abuse is not, I think it's quite simple. And what is so wrong about that warning ? Is it burning your ears ? Making them bleed or something ? Personally, I don't care about that kind of warnings, when I don't like something I just stop watching, but hey, those are just words, if you don't want to listen, skip them :) And yes, I know Silent Hill, played Silent Hill, and love Silent Hill. Cheers :)
Sorry but if u know nothing else u should know the name Silent Hill even if u don't play games know any gamers or come onto youtube Silent Hill should be common fucking knowledge to ANYONE this fucking thing has been out for OVER a fucking decade people should know the name if some dumb dumb following cry see's he's uploaded a silent hill game who the fuck would go ooo silent hill sounds interesting and then doesn't go and at least look SOME of it up is a dip shit and shouldn't be subbed to cry if they don't like horror
The problem people are having isn't that there is a trigger warning. They're angry because Cry was bullied into putting it into his video by a bunch of butthurt SJWs.
Fuck animal abuse, fucking bastard mother fuckers how could fucking retarded people abuse a small puppy then not get shot by a duck with a shotgun that's in the nearest bush? Motherfuckingbastardarseholeshitstainpissheadfuckwitretard animal abusers! Yeah, I hate animal abuse as well.
AnimeFreakAsahi16, First thing, please, use some commas from time to time, because it's hard to read text like this. Second thing, no, Silent Hill is not that popular to be known by everyone. Arcanum is 2001, and I only know few people, who have heard of this game. Same with Fallout. Third thing... It looks I am dumb, because I do exactly as you've said when I see Cry playing game that I don't know^^ As I've said earlier, it is nothing bad to record a 10 secounds warning, and it won't kill you if you'll accidentally listen to it. I don't understand why people are whining about it, what's the problem. Ofcourse I also don't understand people who were yelling "omg omg cry u didint warn me bout it u cruel faggot unsub!!!1oneone!", but... seriously, this reminds me of some pc master race war, or other shit like that :) Just calm down. He didn't record a warning ? Ok, at most I will stop watching the series. He did record a warning ? It's ok too.
Cry! important tip! When you press use button without ready weapon mode on lying enemies and bugs you can step on them. It's powerfull, Finishes most of the lying enemies and gets rid of bugs.
Welcome to Silent Hill... where even the roaches are out for your blood, locks are almost never as simple as one key in one keyhole, and everyone is some fashion of crazy. Also, I love the song that plays during the scene with Angela. It is one of my favorite songs from any game and fits the mood of Silent Hill perfectly.
I kinda like these mannequin's. A friend of mine made one some time ago and it is great to scare people at my place.... Considering I also do not have lights in my living room aside from the Computer and/or television, it is pretty fun. Also, I can cuddle it. I named her Malory :3
***** Awww, thanks :3 Interestingly, most of my friends and acquaintances find that my most remarkable trait is... being weird. Wether that is good or bad, I don't know.
As someone with actual triggers, I'm a little offended by people here who have ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE with trauma or having a trigger wage war against my favourite youtuber on my behalf when I'm aware that it's my responsibility to monitor the content that I allow myself to view. Rape is not my trigger, but I make damn sure that anything I watch does not contain my trigger, just like people with a peanut allergy makes damn sure that nothing they are about to eat could even POSSIBLY contain peanuts. Most people complaining certainly haven't mentioned personally having a trigger, but if you do have a trigger and are arguing that Cry should cater to your own psychological problems, then fuck you. You are THE ONLY PERSON who has a responsibility to look after yourself, NOBODY ELSE can do it for you, and it is UNFAIR to expect anyone to.
I have PTSD and a whole other mess of mental issues too and I do this. i feel like the people who wanted the trigger warning don't really have anything because it's up to you to police your own disorder and no one elses.
Normally I'm all for trigger warnings at the beginning of a video for a game or whatever, but that's only if the content doesn't give off a creepy ass/depressing vibe from the get go. (Aka, shits all sunshine and rainbow looking.) But come oooon, this is *_Silent Hill!_* This is a game from the genre known as *_horror_*. If you have never heard of this series (or don't know what horror means) then from what dimension do you hail? (I would not be surprised if those who have never heard of this series are those who find cheap ass overdone jump scare games to be the scariest things ever...) No doubt there will be more BS comments in the next upload. Needless to say, those people only have themselves to blame. Enact some form of bloody common sense next time. P.S: Bah, your mic isn't as bad as you made it out to be :P P.P.S: You should give Silent Hill: Alchemilla a shot in the future.
I love Silent Hill, but it doesn't scare me a lot. Jump scares do scare me, and I do like them. I wish there were a bit more jump scares in Silent Hill actually.
just a little words of advice for some people here...if you are easily offended or have been through traumatic things...i highly suggest you either research what you are about to watch or don't watch anything in the HORROR genre. you should know what you are getting yourself into when you watch anything in this category, anything goes in the horror genre. it's sad that cry has to warn people on something they could so easily research before watching, especially knowing it's a horror game. it's not cry's fault, it is your fault. that is all, move along.
We love you Cry. You did nothing wrong since the game itself had warnings put up. Anyways, I love the Silent Hill series. Thank you so much for doing this.
She like why are you looking for your dead wife? & James is like "I'm not crazy" but the girl is definitely, shes all freaking out trying to stab him. Also that voice acting is just great XD lol Gaming Goddess
Yep, definitely not crazy. I'm just wondering around a town full of spawns of Satan, looking for my dead wife (who supposedly sent me a letter?wha) while solving complicated puzzles only to get keys. Totally normal.
I will always enjoy how this game makes a foreshadowing and nod to silent hill 4 at 16:28 . Amazing story boarding and setting up paths to the 4th game.
I love how more than half of the comments section consists solely of people bitching about trigger warnings and parroting the exact same thing the last guy said over and over and over.
I can't help but think that you are such a good human being, Cry...I mean, I don't actually know you, but after watching many of your videos and listening to what you say I honestly think that you are a kind and considerate man just saying :) keep up the good work :)
The purpose of this game is to mentally disturb you and destroy any comfort you have. It's about James and his wife and all of the inner insecurities and emotional dealings they have. It's about a lot of things. Every little thing has meaning. Please don't complain that this game is this game
The warning is good for one thing, everyone who didn't know what the hell is Silent Hill (yes people like that exist, due newer generation games keeping all those people occupied) But for those same people who tried to riot in the last video because what? You didn't read the description? The one with a nice warning label in the last 3 videos of this playthrough. If you stumbled upon this video, thinking Cry is doing something interesting, but you looked in comments first, I advise you to look at the description before watching continuing the playthrough. Luckily for you, Cry stated a warning in the beginning of this video.
I feel like a lot of the fear in this game stems from bad camera angles and crappy controls. Not to say this isn't creepy and it's not a classic, but I would like to see a horror game that has good controls...
woah woah woah 'not a classic'? What the hell, dude? Silent Hill 2 is THE classic game, of course it has all of that because it's an old game but any modern games can't compare to the classics no matter what.
I don't think they're entirely bad, as the limiting control can help bring a feel of powerlessness and the camera angles can make you feel claustrophobic... Or just pure frustration, either way works.
You probably don't want to hear this 4-5 years later, but personally the camera angles serve to purposefully limit the gamer and have them uncomfortable. Well, that's what I think. And I think the camera angles, in that regard, are great! Artistic too.
I love the theme that plays during the cut scene with Angela. Gives me the chills every time I listen to it. As far as Cry's warning, you guys should've known by now that Silent Hill is not for the faint of heart. Its been out for what, 15 years? 20? Come on guys.
They are not upset about the warning. They are upset because Cry was forced to do it. He had to put up the warning that he wasn't planning on doing. He had to take time out of his life to babysit them. Instead of them taking time out of their lives to do some research if watching disturbing stuff is so dangerous for them.
So...if Cry had to use an emulator, why didn't he just play the PC version? It only has 1 bug that can easily be solved by setting the game to run on a single cpu core, it has higher resolutions, and it even allows you to save anywhere.
Cry I need to give you this amazing spoiller, even though I think you allready know that!! Walter Sullivan is the vilain from SilentHill 4 (The room) ^_^
I was scouring the comment section JUST to see if anyone had already mentioned that. I don't know if they were already foreshadowing even before there was a third game, or if they decided to dig out a side thing from the second and make a whole friggin game out of it, but there it is. A reference to Walter's murders AND prison suicide 2 games before the one he's actually in. Though other relevant details are missing, of course. :P
Gagoushou Funny thing is that there is also one thing that appears in Silent Hill 3. You can find a magazine with an article about a place you actually visit in SH4 and the article is written but Joseph Schneiber, one of the characters from SH4. I think you can find the exact same article in SH4
The fact that he had to go through and put a disclaimer on Silent Hill is ridiculous. Its Silent Hill people. Good thing he isn't playing SH3 that whole game is based of the psychological horrors from a female's perspective.
Cry, you're always apologising for your mic settings, but honestly just being able to hear your commentary is already great. Thank you for taking us in consideration though c:
To the people that needed a trigger warning: Welcome to the fuckin real world, it's full of rape and torture and murder and self harm, if you can't deal with it in a video game, don't even think about going outside, stay in your house, turn off all of your electronics, and stay there. There's your fuckin trigger warning.
basically what you are saying: "people who have experienced trauma and are recovering from it shoudlnt be allowed to live normal lives so as to not slightly inconvenience the rest of us." yes of course why didnt i think of just staying at home and doing nothing !! actually most trauma victims DO already stay at home most of the time because of their trauma being yknow, traumatic and affecting their lives in every way dipshit. how is a warning affecting you anyways? all of you need to shut up and stop with this "THE SJWS RUINING MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN!!!1!!!THIS 10 SECOND WARNING RUINED MY ENTIRE DAY !!!!!!1!GROW UP YOU BABIES!!WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!1!" lmao.... chill . we do live in the real world and there ARE trigger warnings in everyday life (age ratings, mature content filters, health and safety warnings, and literal general taboos of even mentioning rape or potentially triggering material in public) plus, just because its a horror game doesnt mean that everyone necessarily has to know it has psychologically upsetting things. Ive heard of Silent Hill my whole life but honestly all i knew about was that there are fucked up monsters. the warning isnt hurting anyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Larissa A muh sojiny If you can't fucking deal with the real world, don't get upset when people don't warn you about shit. "Oh no a pizza raped me when I was a kid, why didn't you tag those pizzas as a trigger warning" In real life, people aren't going to cater to you.
Aya Daza Like Cry said. "Next time, read the IMDB and do your research on the game" Don't come into this comment section and start bitching at him for not putting a stupid warning on the video for a game that's been out for 14 years.
Sorry about your mic, but at least it's just a technical issue while I'm still learning how to use mine. Also, that boss fight with Pyramid Head was hilarious, and I found myself screaming advice at you. Really brightened up my day. You'll get him next time.
Ah Cry, if you want the good ending you have to be on good health all the game and see several times Mary's photo :3. I think that's how that works for having the good ending if I remember correctly [If you want the good ending, of course].
I would prefer if he didn't go for any ending specifically as none of the endings are necessarily "good", just different ways of James finding peace. All of them have their merits, so to actively go for a specific one defeats the purpose of how they are naturally implemented. If Cry gets Leave, In The Water, or Maria ending it should be because of his own actions and choices, not because he gamed the system.
Well I said it's good because of how actually ends, but I didn't actually want him to know what actually happens. We know that Cry gets involve in the story and I was thinking it would be nice for him to have that kind of ending. Instead of the canon or the bad ending...
My first silent hill was SH3, I bought it during the golden days of the ps2 era because the gorgeous box art caught my attention. Upon playing it, I was disturbed by its mature themes and fascinated by its dark beauty. The game series always appeared to be an ongoing saga and analyzation of the human psyche at the darkest heights of emotion or lack there of. Anyone who doesn't know Silent Hill or just scratching the surface please do your research. I have played them all, save for one, and the content is intended to be gut-wrenching, shocking, and seemingly forces you to question your moral compass. You know that little thing called choice? ..yeah..
Sucks that Cry had to put that warning up. People affected by those types of things shouldn't be watching anything physiological horror especially if its FUCKING SILENT HILL. Silent Hill is 15 yeas old and Silent Hill 2 is 13 years old there have been ten games so far (PT doesn't count) eleventh is on the way they have movies this franchise has been out there for fifteen years, If you haven't heart of the already somber title of the game then you should know to look it up. Even Crys thumbnails showed that's its going to be a dark game. So anybody who clicked through and started watching a lets play of a dark game that's been around for thirteen years and then gets all upset at the lack of a trigger warning that's their fault not crys.
As someone who is affected by those things, you're half right. Am I throwing a fit? No.but that's because I've dealt with my issues. Domi think Cry should have had to put up a warning? No. Because honestly the first time I saw SH2 I missed the things that could "trigger" me. Second time,I recognized them but shrugged it off. Why? Because its a GAME. The problem nowadays is that everyone seems to think the world should cater to them. But it doesn't, and the sooner people realize that the happier they will be.
***** Silent Hill 3 literally has an image of Heather and said something along the lines of "Warning: This game has bloody/violent content and other content some people might not approve of. Discretion is advised."
while i'm glad you put the trigger warning in (showing that, of course you care about your viewers and what affects them), i'm so confused about why it was needed in the first place. i get in games like claire, where cutting and suicide came basically out of nowhere and was traumatic accompanying the general themes of depression and isolation, or beyond two souls, where she is almost raped and the damage carries over to a later scene and finally one of the characters commits suicide. there are other jrpgs that cry hasn't played like wadanohara and mogeko's castle that is filled with rape. when it is emotionally heavy and unexpected, it is so triggering. but in the case of silent hill... it's silent hill. it's common knowledge that basically every japanese horror game will have HEAVY psychological horror aspects. that's the point. there's going to be disturbing psychological aspects because that's a key of japanese horror. going into any horror game, people who are triggered by things should do their research. when cry got about halfway through claire, i looked it up to see what the ending was going to amount to because i know how easily triggered i am by suicides and self harm, and i appreciated cry's trigger warning during the specific part he encountered it. but like, i really don't get how abusive people were towards him in the comment section for silent hill when EVERY ONE knows the type of game this is and the types of things you can expect to see. it's not unexpected for these types of things to be in silent hill. like, if you are triggered easily, just as i am, you should be doing research. it's understandable if the game gives off NO VIBE or NO WARNING that dark elements can happen. i watched a let's player go through a game and it was all light and happy and cute and suddenly, there was a rape scene and it took me off guard and i could imagine any one triggered by that would have been in a state. because it came out of nowhere, the game gave off no indication and the let's player said absolutely nothing even in the editing to warn viewers. but with silent hill, you literally know what you're getting into. so, thank you for the warning cry. thank you for caring about the feelings of your fans enough to add one in. but i hope you didn't feel too pressured by any abusive comments. i can't wait for the rest of the series. ^^
Oh man you totally paused at the perfect time to hear the blue door rattle behind you D: That ALWAYS gets me each time I play this. ETA: Aw, you called Angela honeybun ;^;
Well Cry, I think your doing a pretty good job---in my opinion your amazing, I enjoy watching your playthroughs of many games, and all around you seem like an amazing person :) Don't worry about the little mistakes made when playing games, because I honestly still love to watch them. Stay awesome Mr. Cryaotic--- :)
To get the best ending, DO NOT look at the knife Also to beat this first Pyramid Head encounter, just have to keep running away from him until the siren is herd.
i'm starting to love this game, i couldn't continue it when i was younger (because at that time i was terrified of the monsters) but now i wish i would have finished it... also cry's voice is so immersive... i love it
W-what even needed a "trigger" warning? I understand the self-harm bit in this part... but what was there to warn about all the other parts? Are everyone just that sensitive these days?
tailo25 if simply seeing some vague imagery on RUclips is enough to actually trigger a real response from you, you should generally get the fuck of the Internet.
tailo25 No, it's not fun, trust me, I know. However, the world can not and will not be catered to these people. The world is FULL of triggers. A commercial could trigger people, a movie, a song, a TV show or whatever! Are we suppose to stop living just because somethings can trigger people? I mean let's think about this in a reality stand point. If people are that sensitive, than they should stay home and watch the kids channel.
ChaoticEva Let's just stop catering to everyone then. Why do we need all these ramps everywhere for people who can't walk? Fuck 'em, they can just crawl up. We shouldn't have to cater to them just because they can't use their legs. Do you understand how ridiculous that is? It's not a huge inconvenience to help others. Sure, it would be a huge pain to put trigger warnings for absolutely everything in everything, but it's not hard to give warning in most things about the most common triggers. Warnings about suicide, rape, and abuse should be as common as having an option for subtitles.
It's less about sensitivity and more about the awareness of the problem that's always been there. Anyhow I don't see why people are getting so up in arms about it, it's a 10 second voice-over, stop victim blaming and move on.
I really enjoy your videos, I also wish to thank you for the warning at the beginning of this video. While I do not have any issue with stories involving the aforementioned tragedies, I appreciate the amount of thought put into your videos.
I do understand that there are quite a lot of individuals that have PTSD and are struggling to cope with things. But forcing someone to place trigger warnings...on a Horror game? Specifically one listed as psychological horror seems rather odd if not rude to the content creator.
While I believe that it's nice to have a warning if it may cause some people to relive some moments, the fact that this game is one of the most well known messed up games in horror should have been a given to some people. The Silent Hill series is just known for it to mess with your brain and freak you out. Now with people just complaining and pretty much forcing you to put a warning in the video is just ridiculous. If you have suspicion about the contents of something, then look more into it. It's like if you are going to watch an R rated movie but are unsure of why the movie is R. You look up why and then decide. Same case for this. It's M rated, therefore there may be some instances where it could have sexual themes, scenes, or anything that will make some people uncomfortable. Everyone just needs to stop complaining and look into something before even saying a word.
Lovely new addition to the series. I'm really enjoying this and dang man. Pyramid head is a pain in the rear. Nicely played and that coin puzzle would have been a real pain. Thank you for taking the time to give a general warning even if I don't understand what got people so worked up. Generally speaking most horror has darker content in it. Anyway, thanks again for another great vid. As always I look forward to the next and wish you the best of luck. Take care hun. :)
I don't wanna backseat game you at all Cry this is just a lil tip, you can step on enemies and the roaches by pressing the action button I believe (yah know the button you press when attacking enemies.) That's all I wanted to say so I'll get outta your hair. Byeeeee.

You handled that really well Cry. You didnt just blow off everyone who had a problem with the lack of warnings but also didnt completely give in for the sake of pleasing people like other youtubers. You did your own thing but it had a level of respect.
I just do me, das all I does. Thanks for diggin' it.
Cryaotic And thats why youre so cool. Just keep doing you, man.
Wolf Fang holy shit he did reply to you :U
Tyrant Baal ikr, coo' man, he is.
Cryaotic Will that mean there will be little you-s soon? Because I could do with a little you in my life. Hehe!
"I'm going to strut my stuff."
*Suddenly, Pyramid Head*
Summoned Tentacles

Pyramid head joined the chat*
The mic setting makes me feel like i'm watching cry from 2011
This is good, i like this
Those were dark times!
Cryaotic I liked them, shh!
+Cryaotic woah! You still come to these old videos? Wow!
+Cryaotic the angela scenes are very heartbreaking
All the doors are broken...truly what silent hill is all about
The true mystery of Silent Hill: Who's breaking all the f*cking locks?
Pyramid Head. because **** locks.
xXWrathX that's also what Resident Evil is all about
@@horridt5754 I'd prefer having broken locks than sitting through a long animation of opening a door to the next level in RE.
Some people seriously requested a warning?
Wow...
Silent Hill has been around for 1999, one would think that 16 years are enough time to have the message get around that it is a franchise build around psychological trauma and serious shit like rape, murder and abuse. But nope, seems, like some people still think, it is about some nice quiet hill covert with flowers and fairy glitter.
Did you not dwell on the previous comment section?
Or do you not dwell on the internet at all? Some people refuse to learn, and it's up to other to people to deal with whatever problem comes with that....
I am aware that people love complaining.
But come on, even my mom knows that SH is not some nice kiddy puzzle game and she doesn't even play anything other then Candy Crush ಠ_ಠ
I know dude... When you think you caught up with people's bullshit they surprise you, guess they don't want us to get bored...
People nowadays are just so entitled anyway,things have to be tailor made to their specification.They get offended over someone not doing something for them in this instance placing a "trigger warning".When it is really their own job to be extra careful and go research about what they come into contact with,when they themselves know full well they have issues we certain subject matters.
Have you seen the recent ones? There is nothing like this. Nothing even remotely innerving in fact. Please be respectful of people's healing processes.
Angela's story is just as tragic as James’. Also, seeing her is when we first hear the iconic song, “Promise (Reprise)”. Absolutely melancholic. 😃
I don't think so. I don't want to spoil anything, but James is...no Angela had a horrible life, James just suffered because his wife was sick.
I love the piano music during the Angela scene!
How the beginning should have gone:
On the last video
*gross sounds for 2 full minutes*
I think it's very considerate of Cry to put up warnings.
On that note this is a horror game designed to be more than jumpscares. Silent Hill is well known for being a game with things that yes, can trigger you. I don't see the point of a warning in a game like this.
like Cry said, do your research and look at the imbd. You can't expect everyone to apologize and always warn you when you too can research. If you know you're sensitive to certain things then don't go blindly into shit. I'm not agaisnt trigger warnings because I understand what it's like, but the use of triggers is getting out of hand at this point
Exactly my thoughts, well said thank you. Silent Hill is nothing but dealing with mental problems, suicide, abuse etc. and it would be time consuming to point out each trigger on their own since nearly every scene in the entire franchise is influential. But I guess some people just want to watch the videos no matter what or they don't know about the game but the responsibility of an *intense psychological horror* is not up to Cry.
I have PTSD and the truth is you never know what your triggers can be until it happens. That being said I usually research the fuck out of the enterment I find and make sure I have an idea what I'm getting into.
I meant you never know what all your triggers are some times. I'm still finding some unfortunate. That being said it's up to me to learn what my limits are and not except others to do the work.
Skadfun Maby you should just stay in a tiny white room then. PTSD Bullshit, humans are so weak these days. "it's all in the mind" STOP IT!
Taurus Channel I seriously hope you're just a troll and don't really believe that
Wow, wasnt expecting a warning from you. I just kinda assumed peeps would realize this game would have ALL of the things that could trigger peeps, and therefore would watch the video realizing this.
On another note, the music in this game is really getting to me. I keep getting scared that something will happen. I'm so glad I'm not playing this myself...
twitter.com/CryWasTaken/status/558894786204418048
ZGUnlimited You've... You've got to be kidding me... WHY IS THIS A THING???
That's what i'm saying. I understand people getting triggered and such, but they should have the decency to look up the description or the game up beforehand. It's Silent Hill, a game the dwells into the unnatural and anything that makes people uncomfortable. At this point some people shouldn't be on the internet if they easily get this offended.
ZGUnlimited THIS ^^^^^^
I completely agree. At this point, people are only getting mad, for the sake of being angry. This game is world-renown for it's psychological warfare and it's beyond horror elements. I am honestly speechless at this situation.
Like someone else said, if they go through life needing to be warned by any little bit of fear or gore, then they're gonna have a tough time. I'm not saying people are going to pick on them, i'm just saying they'll have trouble dealing with situations on the internet and connecting without people in the world.
Good let's play as always Cry. :3
And it was considerate for you to put up the trigger warnings, and for all of you out there, who's trauma is so crippling, the suggestion or depiction, (in any media), of rape or sexual assault will send you into a panic attack: I recommend instead of lashing out in the comment section, *you seek help*. Many people have suffered, and *my heart goes out to all of you*, but Cry doesn't deserve your anger. I empathize it can be difficult to overcome such events, but you cannot let the event control you for your entire life, or ruin it. You're a survivor, and a very strong person. *You all deserve to be happy, and I wish you the best. Have a good day.*
wait, what? someone actually being nice in cry's comment section? that's bullshit. this isn't real. you CAN'T be real. (forreal though, you're really cool, congrats on that)
Miles X. Haha, maybe I'm not real at all. I try my best to be understanding. Thanks!
Miles X.
I though Cry's fan base was allways nice. Just kinda oversensitive
GuyWithChainsaw Sometimes the Cry fans can be very sweet, though yes sometimes we lash out over hot-button issues which should not be discussed under Cry's videos.
People suffering out there deserve a voice and sympathy, but they should also not verbally attack Cry… :)
*****
Yeah. I never really've been through any traumatic situation (accept bullying if you can count it) so you can say im stupid however i think People with such traumatic expiriances should try to fight things like that, accept that these things happened and will happen (unfortunatelly). If you get mad or sad everytime someone talks about it or shows such content you'll never make peace with your life. i know it probably takes time though and fight is tough. I also realise it's like Angela said "It's easier just to run.". Of course if someone laughs at these kind of things or victums of such happenings (which is not the case here). I think then we shouldn't be silent. Sorry for long comment with my terrible english. Have a nice day :)
It's been a while since I've watched a new Cry play-through, and I've gotta say, while I don't know exactly what's different about his style, I fucking love it. It's really cool to see how he and his mannerisms have changed over the past months.
Loving these vids, Cry!
Glad to hear it. B]
I really love the music in this - 09:40
Also, James sounds like he's the atypical stereotype NPC trading merchant, but instead of selling overpriced goods he became the protagonist of a horror game. I love it.
And the audio's not that bad, don't worry about it.
I really love Cry for always putting warnings on his videos. My triggers don't often show up in video games and even when they do it's not often too bad for me, but I love that he watches out for his fans like that.
Me: Oh hey Cry's new Silent Hill video! I wonder what people are saying about!
*looks at comments*
Me: Oh Lordie.... why'd I do that?
"Yes sir, I would like for two Maki rolls, one Nigiri- Red Tuna if you may, and som--- I'm sorry sir, I'll call you back to get my order, Cryaotic's video is up. Yes. Shut the fuck up sir, it's Silent Hill. Alright. Thank you sir."
**hangs up**
I will have no food tonight.
XyerDark Hey, what can I say.
I can always microwave something!
XyerDark CAN I HAVE SOME?
XyerDark **takes a portal gun out**
APERTURE SCIENCE
WE DO WHAT WE MUST
BECAUSE
WE CAN!
XyerDark But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun.
*****
And believe me the Hills are alive...
I always feel like Angela deserved a better life, she had such a short straw.
Yup yup...
Nah.
I love that song in the cut scene with Angela.
Dante Moore me too. It's my favorite in the entire game. It's called promise(reprise)
Tedora Scortan ik ik, Silent Hill 2 is my jam, easily the best song in the series
Cry: Why can't people read the description
Cry: (doesn't read the controls to figure out how to stomp)
ジェークスシンジ I see this comment has been left on 69 for 3 years
Cry I wanted to say how much I enjoy hearing commentary from someone with your sense of humor and play style. More composed then most and you insure that viewers can hear the cut scenes and you read all messages to the viewers. Thank you very much.
sooo.....ppl thought this was gonna be some story with rainbows and gumdrops or something? Its bloody silent hill fer crying out loud. Who in the their right mind would think this would be anything BUT psychological horror. Some ppl need to get with the times srsly. I mean the series has 5(6 if u count pt) entries alrdy and ppl are surprised by this?
Maybe people who like Cry and want to help support him, even at the duress of their own comfort. The trigger warning helps those who can manage their anxiety prepare, and tells those who cannot that this video/game probably wouldn't be suitable for them.
Honestly, at this point I think it's more an expectation than anything else, because that's the world/culture/society we live in now. People are so used to tags and warnings that I wonder how many go by those alone and don't bother checking any further. I think its a little silly myself, but then I grew up before any of that was a thing, so. Yeah.
Gagoushou Yeah, because warning labels were never a thing until like 10 years ago....
People have been taking precautions for physical injury for decades. Now people are focusing on precautions from mental injury....Especially for those who already deal with a mental disorder like anxiety, depression, or PTSD.
TheSvnoyi Because the warning labels from ten years ago are EXACTLY the same thing, and would TOTALLY be accepted as is by the standards people have now.
Gagoushou Same with a trigger warning. It's literally a warning of what is in the video. Unless the video changes, the warning will not.
Dont mind me as I go through old videos
I too just started this series. Silent Hill 2 is my favorite video game. :)
You think you're looking at old videos
@@Tx72everywhere i know, right?
I'm just here for my yearly rewatch of this series, don't mind me...
Who else is watching during quarantine
Going specifically to a psychological horror game when you know horror bothers you is like ordering steak when you're a vegan.
This is a perfect example of why I enjoy you as much as I do. Your videos make me smile and make me forget about how horrible of a day I had experienced. For all the stuff going on with this game, you didn't make it, you're playing it. And this has literally been one of my favorites to watch of you.
So thank you for playing this, I enjoy seeing you get scared
I wasn't warned there would be a warning. My triggering has been triggered. No one told me the internet would be full of horrible videos.
It was very considerate of you to put up the warning. You took the time to care, for once in a long time, another human cared about someone else, it's extremely refreshing.
Just want to say that as a fan of yours for about 3 years now (and a feminist with PTSD at that!) I think your response and action are on point. Including the 'one and only' warning is all that should be necessary as well as your description about how you're not educated in respect to sensitivity training (paraphrasing here).
Thanks Cry for being a good guy and for trying to reach compromise. I think you did an excellent job.
Keep up the good videos!
I had no idea about the shitstorm going on in the other comments, but I would just like to say that I really enjoy you playing this game cry. It has been my joy the last few days and I think you handled the situation really well. It's been 14 years and people should know that Silent Hill includes horrifying scences, but it is stupid to call these people whimps because they would like to be warned. Many are new to gaming and does not know what the series is about. But I would just like to point out that this has been a total joy for me and probably many others as of late. So keep up the good work! You are doing great :D Love your videos!
Really appreciate the warnings. It helps me harden and prepare myself for the triggers.
Thanks so much man, really thank you so much.
Gosh the music it plays when you find Angela is my favorite bit of music in Silent Hill. Beautiful.
Sequel Idea! Silent Hill: The Locksmith
I'm glad that Cry put up a warning with no fuss about it, but I'm sad and a bit bewildered that he had to in the first place. Even if you haven't been exposed to Silent Hill before, one should at least know that it's been praised as the king of psychological horror games, and that it has imagery and scenes that could potentially be triggering to those with mental illnesses or past events. It's always worth to check before watching something -- don't blame Cry for it; NOBODY is to blame for it. But taking precautions before watching something new just in case never hurts.
I love silent hill and all, but what were game voice actors thinking back then, did they think they sounded believable?
lol maybe that's why Final Fantasy stayed away from it so long. In fact, the most popular long running game series don't have voice actors (Used to be FF, but Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Mario, etc.)
They voice acting fits Silent Hill 2 perfectly, it sounds very off putting and dreamlike, it's perfect with the atmosphere.
This was made back when voice acting in games was still up and coming. No actual, legitimate voice actors considered the roles worth having, and most game developers used employees to voice the roles to save on money.
Regular people are generally crap when placed behind a microphone because they get the idea that it's "not real" and it affects their acting ability by making them sound stale and monotone. Kinda like how the average person acts different if they know they're on camera. They attempt to "act natural" but it always turns out wrong.
Could be worse, like Resident Evil or something.
The creators of this game purposely wanted this kind of odd voice acting. The voice actor that played James said so himself and so did many other people who were affiliated with Silent Hill. They wanted us to feel like we were in a really weird dream while playing this game and the 'weird' voice acting helped with that a lot.
Love the play-through Cry, but hell, I'll love pretty much anything you play, nice to see some classics though! Thanks for being you Cry, you really made my day :3
Everyone is fighting in the comment section, and I'm just like, "This is some *damn* good spaghetti!"
That must be the most mature, well-written description I've ever read on RUclips before in regards to its topic. Nice!!
You sounded so pissed while making the warning, which I can understand ^^'.
Other than his videos, the best goddamn thing I like is his video descriptions. I always make sure to pause the video and read the descriptions first. And let's all just enjoy life. Don't be so stressed. It's just a game. And feelings are more important than that. Cry has feelings and that's more important.;)
Silent Hill UFO Ending will offset that psychological horror......
his voice at the beginning sounded like one of the tornado warnings I always hear, Cry's voice fits everything
I must admit that this whole commentary section, and previous one as well, is funny, especially comments like "omg ppl didnt yo now that? Its Silent Hill, duh, what did u expect". No. Not everyone knows Silent Hill, and it is not a crime. You also say things like "lol this game is full of blood and death and other things, and u are whining about one scene". Well, I can easily watch scenes and gameplays containing death, blood, canibalism, and many other horrible things, but I want to shoot the monitor when it comes to animal abuse. Think of it that way - for some people blood and things like that are acceptable to watch, and sexual abuse is not, I think it's quite simple. And what is so wrong about that warning ? Is it burning your ears ? Making them bleed or something ? Personally, I don't care about that kind of warnings, when I don't like something I just stop watching, but hey, those are just words, if you don't want to listen, skip them :) And yes, I know Silent Hill, played Silent Hill, and love Silent Hill. Cheers :)
Sorry but if u know nothing else u should know the name Silent Hill even if u don't play games know any gamers or come onto youtube Silent Hill should be common fucking knowledge to ANYONE
this fucking thing has been out for OVER a fucking decade people should know the name
if some dumb dumb following cry see's he's uploaded a silent hill game who the fuck would go ooo silent hill sounds interesting and then doesn't go and at least look SOME of it up is a dip shit and shouldn't be subbed to cry if they don't like horror
The problem people are having isn't that there is a trigger warning. They're angry because Cry was bullied into putting it into his video by a bunch of butthurt SJWs.
Fuck animal abuse, fucking bastard mother fuckers how could fucking retarded people abuse a small puppy then not get shot by a duck with a shotgun that's in the nearest bush? Motherfuckingbastardarseholeshitstainpissheadfuckwitretard animal abusers!
Yeah, I hate animal abuse as well.
AnimeFreakAsahi16, First thing, please, use some commas from time to time, because it's hard to read text like this.
Second thing, no, Silent Hill is not that popular to be known by everyone. Arcanum is 2001, and I only know few people, who have heard of this game. Same with Fallout.
Third thing... It looks I am dumb, because I do exactly as you've said when I see Cry playing game that I don't know^^ As I've said earlier, it is nothing bad to record a 10 secounds warning, and it won't kill you if you'll accidentally listen to it. I don't understand why people are whining about it, what's the problem. Ofcourse I also don't understand people who were yelling "omg omg cry u didint warn me bout it u cruel faggot unsub!!!1oneone!", but... seriously, this reminds me of some pc master race war, or other shit like that :) Just calm down. He didn't record a warning ? Ok, at most I will stop watching the series. He did record a warning ? It's ok too.
***** Some of them, yes, but when I look at comments below I get the feeling that lot of people here are allergic to trigger warnings :)
I absolutely adore that you're playing this Cry. These videos are awesome. Shout out to 2002!
Cry! important tip! When you press use button without ready weapon mode on lying enemies and bugs you can step on them. It's powerfull, Finishes most of the lying enemies and gets rid of bugs.
And it can also be used underwater!
Welcome to Silent Hill... where even the roaches are out for your blood, locks are almost never as simple as one key in one keyhole, and everyone is some fashion of crazy. Also, I love the song that plays during the scene with Angela. It is one of my favorite songs from any game and fits the mood of Silent Hill perfectly.
I kinda like these mannequin's. A friend of mine made one some time ago and it is great to scare people at my place.... Considering I also do not have lights in my living room aside from the Computer and/or television, it is pretty fun.
Also, I can cuddle it. I named her Malory :3
You are weird.... o.0.... I like you :D
*****
Awww, thanks :3
Interestingly, most of my friends and acquaintances find that my most remarkable trait is... being weird. Wether that is good or bad, I don't know.
I....
I would love to hang at your place @__@
Anna Hà It is settled then! We are having a sleepover at Tenshi Kanashisa's! xD
Was your freinds name Leland "SKX" Vanhorn? (Look it up, if you don't know.)
You gotta love Silent Hill. So glad you're doing this series, Cry
As someone with actual triggers, I'm a little offended by people here who have ABSOLUTELY NO EXPERIENCE with trauma or having a trigger wage war against my favourite youtuber on my behalf when I'm aware that it's my responsibility to monitor the content that I allow myself to view. Rape is not my trigger, but I make damn sure that anything I watch does not contain my trigger, just like people with a peanut allergy makes damn sure that nothing they are about to eat could even POSSIBLY contain peanuts.
Most people complaining certainly haven't mentioned personally having a trigger, but if you do have a trigger and are arguing that Cry should cater to your own psychological problems, then fuck you. You are THE ONLY PERSON who has a responsibility to look after yourself, NOBODY ELSE can do it for you, and it is UNFAIR to expect anyone to.
I have PTSD and a whole other mess of mental issues too and I do this. i feel like the people who wanted the trigger warning don't really have anything because it's up to you to police your own disorder and no one elses.
I'm going back and forth between watching you play this and Two Best Friends play this, and man, is it starkly contrasting commentary.
"Juice, is not garbage. But for some reason to James, fuck juice." Epic. Words to live by. LoL.
Glad to see the Let's Play continues despite that whole trigger warning mess. Thanks for doing what you do the way you do it, Cry. Don't change.
Normally I'm all for trigger warnings at the beginning of a video for a game or whatever, but that's only if the content doesn't give off a creepy ass/depressing vibe from the get go. (Aka, shits all sunshine and rainbow looking.)
But come oooon, this is *_Silent Hill!_* This is a game from the genre known as *_horror_*. If you have never heard of this series (or don't know what horror means) then from what dimension do you hail?
(I would not be surprised if those who have never heard of this series are those who find cheap ass overdone jump scare games to be the scariest things ever...)
No doubt there will be more BS comments in the next upload. Needless to say, those people only have themselves to blame. Enact some form of bloody common sense next time.
P.S: Bah, your mic isn't as bad as you made it out to be :P
P.P.S: You should give Silent Hill: Alchemilla a shot in the future.
I love Silent Hill, but it doesn't scare me a lot. Jump scares do scare me, and I do like them. I wish there were a bit more jump scares in Silent Hill actually.
The puzzle bit was hilarious! "Do you like the middle?" That had me going.
I think I finally get it now. why this game became such a prominent pin point in gaming horror...
...
You got big balls Cry...
I actually don't mind the mic setting that much. It kinda adds to the nostalgic feeling I get from watching someone play this game.
just a little words of advice for some people here...if you are easily offended or have been through traumatic things...i highly suggest you either research what you are about to watch or don't watch anything in the HORROR genre. you should know what you are getting yourself into when you watch anything in this category, anything goes in the horror genre. it's sad that cry has to warn people on something they could so easily research before watching, especially knowing it's a horror game. it's not cry's fault, it is your fault. that is all, move along.
We love you Cry. You did nothing wrong since the game itself had warnings put up.
Anyways, I love the Silent Hill series. Thank you so much for doing this.
She like why are you looking for your dead wife? & James is like "I'm not crazy" but the girl is definitely, shes all freaking out trying to stab him.
Also that voice acting is just great XD lol
Gaming Goddess
"Don't worry, im not crazy!"
Yeah, at that point i'd run. :D
Yep, definitely not crazy.
I'm just wondering around a town full of spawns of Satan, looking for my dead wife (who supposedly sent me a letter?wha) while solving complicated puzzles only to get keys.
Totally normal.
VpIII I'M NOT CRAZY, THE VOICES IN MY HEAD TOLD ME I'M NOT
I will always enjoy how this game makes a foreshadowing and nod to silent hill 4 at 16:28 . Amazing story boarding and setting up paths to the 4th game.
I love how more than half of the comments section consists solely of people bitching about trigger warnings and parroting the exact same thing the last guy said over and over and over.
I can't help but think that you are such a good human being, Cry...I mean, I don't actually know you, but after watching many of your videos and listening to what you say I honestly think that you are a kind and considerate man
just saying :)
keep up the good work :)
Taking bets:
How many episodes will it take for cry to learn how to stomp enemies?
Thank you for putting up a warning. Even though people were really rude about it, I appreciate your respect for people's healing processes.
The purpose of this game is to mentally disturb you and destroy any comfort you have. It's about James and his wife and all of the inner insecurities and emotional dealings they have. It's about a lot of things. Every little thing has meaning. Please don't complain that this game is this game
these camera angles are really freaking me out more than they probably should. it's amazing how creepy this game is after so many years.
The warning is good for one thing, everyone who didn't know what the hell is Silent Hill (yes people like that exist, due newer generation games keeping all those people occupied)
But for those same people who tried to riot in the last video because what? You didn't read the description? The one with a nice warning label in the last 3 videos of this playthrough. If you stumbled upon this video, thinking Cry is doing something interesting, but you looked in comments first, I advise you to look at the description before watching continuing the playthrough. Luckily for you, Cry stated a warning in the beginning of this video.
Thank you so much for playing this game, Cry. I'm really enjoying it!
I feel like a lot of the fear in this game stems from bad camera angles and crappy controls. Not to say this isn't creepy and it's not a classic, but I would like to see a horror game that has good controls...
woah woah woah 'not a classic'? What the hell, dude? Silent Hill 2 is THE classic game, of course it has all of that because it's an old game but any modern games can't compare to the classics no matter what.
I know this is old but you need to learn how to read,he said NOT TO SAY that it's not a classic witch means it is a classic.
I don't think they're entirely bad, as the limiting control can help bring a feel of powerlessness and the camera angles can make you feel claustrophobic... Or just pure frustration, either way works.
You probably don't want to hear this 4-5 years later, but personally the camera angles serve to purposefully limit the gamer and have them uncomfortable. Well, that's what I think. And I think the camera angles, in that regard, are great! Artistic too.
I love the theme that plays during the cut scene with Angela. Gives me the chills every time I listen to it. As far as Cry's warning, you guys should've known by now that Silent Hill is not for the faint of heart. Its been out for what, 15 years? 20? Come on guys.
Based on the comments it seams a lot of people's trigger is trigger warnings. So many people getting upset over 30sec text/voice warnings.
They are not upset about the warning. They are upset because Cry was forced to do it. He had to put up the warning that he wasn't planning on doing. He had to take time out of his life to babysit them. Instead of them taking time out of their lives to do some research if watching disturbing stuff is so dangerous for them.
I don't think you got the joke...
lilly fly Sorry if it was a joke. I didn't get it.... obviously
FINALLY another silent hill!!
It feels like years passed, waited for so long.. :(
So...if Cry had to use an emulator, why didn't he just play the PC version? It only has 1 bug that can easily be solved by setting the game to run on a single cpu core, it has higher resolutions, and it even allows you to save anywhere.
Accessibility - I couldn't find a copy anywhere. :D
Cryaotic Heh, fair enough.
When all else fails ebay.... $90 for a copy but stil a copy
Tessa Watson Actually, I bought a copy of Silent Hill: DC PC edition for around $40. I just had to buy the Czech version (which is still in English).
Cryaotic You could of easily pirated it, and had the better version. ;3
This is the only youtuber I watch for horror let’s play because he stfu during cutscenes and doesn’t scream like an idiot. 10/10
Cry I need to give you this amazing spoiller, even though I think you allready know that!!
Walter Sullivan is the vilain from SilentHill 4 (The room) ^_^
I was scouring the comment section JUST to see if anyone had already mentioned that. I don't know if they were already foreshadowing even before there was a third game, or if they decided to dig out a side thing from the second and make a whole friggin game out of it, but there it is. A reference to Walter's murders AND prison suicide 2 games before the one he's actually in. Though other relevant details are missing, of course. :P
Gagoushou
Funny thing is that there is also one thing that appears in Silent Hill 3. You can find a magazine with an article about a place you actually visit in SH4 and the article is written but Joseph Schneiber, one of the characters from SH4. I think you can find the exact same article in SH4
The guy with the long-ish hair?
Kimchi
Yup, in a coat. That's Walter
I hate him as a boy in SH4 -_-
don't like any children in horro games, they are the best/worst to scare me!!!
But I do love he's story though
already 2016. am still watching these videos once a year. really funny watching u talking to yourself cry.
The fact that he had to go through and put a disclaimer on Silent Hill is ridiculous. Its Silent Hill people. Good thing he isn't playing SH3 that whole game is based of the psychological horrors from a female's perspective.
i really love Cry's voice. i always watch his videos before i go to sleep... :] it's soothing somehow.
Cryaotic Shooting him won't do anything. Save your bullets and run away from him. It's a timed boss fight that you can't fight in lol
Cry, you're always apologising for your mic settings, but honestly just being able to hear your commentary is already great. Thank you for taking us in consideration though c:
To the people that needed a trigger warning:
Welcome to the fuckin real world, it's full of rape and torture and murder and self harm, if you can't deal with it in a video game, don't even think about going outside, stay in your house, turn off all of your electronics, and stay there.
There's your fuckin trigger warning.
You're one ignorant and ableist piece of horrid shit. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
basically what you are saying: "people who have experienced trauma and are recovering from it shoudlnt be allowed to live normal lives so as to not slightly inconvenience the rest of us." yes of course why didnt i think of just staying at home and doing nothing !! actually most trauma victims DO already stay at home most of the time because of their trauma being yknow, traumatic and affecting their lives in every way dipshit. how is a warning affecting you anyways? all of you need to shut up and stop with this "THE SJWS RUINING MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN!!!1!!!THIS 10 SECOND WARNING RUINED MY ENTIRE DAY !!!!!!1!GROW UP YOU BABIES!!WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!1!" lmao.... chill . we do live in the real world and there ARE trigger warnings in everyday life (age ratings, mature content filters, health and safety warnings, and literal general taboos of even mentioning rape or potentially triggering material in public) plus, just because its a horror game doesnt mean that everyone necessarily has to know it has psychologically upsetting things. Ive heard of Silent Hill my whole life but honestly all i knew about was that there are fucked up monsters. the warning isnt hurting anyone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Larissa A muh sojiny
If you can't fucking deal with the real world, don't get upset when people don't warn you about shit. "Oh no a pizza raped me when I was a kid, why didn't you tag those pizzas as a trigger warning"
In real life, people aren't going to cater to you.
Larissa A No. I'm one realistic person. If you can't deal with a video game, you can't handle real life. Go back to tumblr.
Aya Daza Like Cry said. "Next time, read the IMDB and do your research on the game" Don't come into this comment section and start bitching at him for not putting a stupid warning on the video for a game that's been out for 14 years.
Sorry about your mic, but at least it's just a technical issue while I'm still learning how to use mine.
Also, that boss fight with Pyramid Head was hilarious, and I found myself screaming advice at you. Really brightened up my day. You'll get him next time.
Ah Cry, if you want the good ending you have to be on good health all the game and see several times Mary's photo :3. I think that's how that works for having the good ending if I remember correctly [If you want the good ending, of course].
Also don't examine the knife you got from Amanda ever.
CrystalDragen you mean Angela?
Yeah! I always mix up their names...
I would prefer if he didn't go for any ending specifically as none of the endings are necessarily "good", just different ways of James finding peace. All of them have their merits, so to actively go for a specific one defeats the purpose of how they are naturally implemented. If Cry gets Leave, In The Water, or Maria ending it should be because of his own actions and choices, not because he gamed the system.
Well I said it's good because of how actually ends, but I didn't actually want him to know what actually happens. We know that Cry gets involve in the story and I was thinking it would be nice for him to have that kind of ending. Instead of the canon or the bad ending...
My first silent hill was SH3, I bought it during the golden days of the ps2 era because the gorgeous box art caught my attention. Upon playing it, I was disturbed by its mature themes and fascinated by its dark beauty. The game series always appeared to be an ongoing saga and analyzation of the human psyche at the darkest heights of emotion or lack there of. Anyone who doesn't know Silent Hill or just scratching the surface please do your research. I have played them all, save for one, and the content is intended to be gut-wrenching, shocking, and seemingly forces you to question your moral compass. You know that little thing called choice? ..yeah..
Sucks that Cry had to put that warning up. People affected by those types of things shouldn't be watching anything physiological horror especially if its FUCKING SILENT HILL. Silent Hill is 15 yeas old and Silent Hill 2 is 13 years old there have been ten games so far (PT doesn't count) eleventh is on the way they have movies this franchise has been out there for fifteen years, If you haven't heart of the already somber title of the game then you should know to look it up. Even Crys thumbnails showed that's its going to be a dark game. So anybody who clicked through and started watching a lets play of a dark game that's been around for thirteen years and then gets all upset at the lack of a trigger warning that's their fault not crys.
My phone has forsaken me by giving me grammatical errors in my comment, and for some reason I cannot edit that one.
As someone who is affected by those things, you're half right. Am I throwing a fit? No.but that's because I've dealt with my issues. Domi think Cry should have had to put up a warning? No. Because honestly the first time I saw SH2 I missed the things that could "trigger" me. Second time,I recognized them but shrugged it off. Why?
Because its a GAME. The problem nowadays is that everyone seems to think the world should cater to them. But it doesn't, and the sooner people realize that the happier they will be.
Funny thing: All Silent Hill games from this era include a warning when you boot them up.
***** Silent Hill 3 literally has an image of Heather and said something along the lines of "Warning: This game has bloody/violent content and other content some people might not approve of. Discretion is advised."
Pyramid Head is a walking phallic symbol, totally one of the most iconic villains ever. That key puzzle was lol!
while i'm glad you put the trigger warning in (showing that, of course you care about your viewers and what affects them), i'm so confused about why it was needed in the first place. i get in games like claire, where cutting and suicide came basically out of nowhere and was traumatic accompanying the general themes of depression and isolation, or beyond two souls, where she is almost raped and the damage carries over to a later scene and finally one of the characters commits suicide. there are other jrpgs that cry hasn't played like wadanohara and mogeko's castle that is filled with rape. when it is emotionally heavy and unexpected, it is so triggering. but in the case of silent hill... it's silent hill. it's common knowledge that basically every japanese horror game will have HEAVY psychological horror aspects. that's the point. there's going to be disturbing psychological aspects because that's a key of japanese horror. going into any horror game, people who are triggered by things should do their research. when cry got about halfway through claire, i looked it up to see what the ending was going to amount to because i know how easily triggered i am by suicides and self harm, and i appreciated cry's trigger warning during the specific part he encountered it. but like, i really don't get how abusive people were towards him in the comment section for silent hill when EVERY ONE knows the type of game this is and the types of things you can expect to see. it's not unexpected for these types of things to be in silent hill.
like, if you are triggered easily, just as i am, you should be doing research. it's understandable if the game gives off NO VIBE or NO WARNING that dark elements can happen. i watched a let's player go through a game and it was all light and happy and cute and suddenly, there was a rape scene and it took me off guard and i could imagine any one triggered by that would have been in a state. because it came out of nowhere, the game gave off no indication and the let's player said absolutely nothing even in the editing to warn viewers. but with silent hill, you literally know what you're getting into.
so, thank you for the warning cry. thank you for caring about the feelings of your fans enough to add one in. but i hope you didn't feel too pressured by any abusive comments. i can't wait for the rest of the series. ^^
Oh man you totally paused at the perfect time to hear the blue door rattle behind you D: That ALWAYS gets me each time I play this.
ETA: Aw, you called Angela honeybun ;^;
Silent Hill... Seems like enough of a trigger warning to me :I
Well Cry, I think your doing a pretty good job---in my opinion your amazing, I enjoy watching your playthroughs of many games, and all around you seem like an amazing person :) Don't worry about the little mistakes made when playing games, because I honestly still love to watch them.
Stay awesome Mr. Cryaotic---
:)
To get the best ending, DO NOT look at the knife
Also to beat this first Pyramid Head encounter, just have to keep running away from him until the siren is herd.
I'm glad to see he picked up on the whispering inside Lyne house. I didn't hear that until my 8th playthrough.
the ending was....XD
i'm starting to love this game, i couldn't continue it when i was younger (because at that time i was terrified of the monsters) but now i wish i would have finished it... also cry's voice is so immersive... i love it
W-what even needed a "trigger" warning? I understand the self-harm bit in this part... but what was there to warn about all the other parts? Are everyone just that sensitive these days?
having traumatic parts of your life reminded to you usually isnt very fun is it?
tailo25 if simply seeing some vague imagery on RUclips is enough to actually trigger a real response from you, you should generally get the fuck of the Internet.
tailo25 No, it's not fun, trust me, I know. However, the world can not and will not be catered to these people. The world is FULL of triggers. A commercial could trigger people, a movie, a song, a TV show or whatever! Are we suppose to stop living just because somethings can trigger people? I mean let's think about this in a reality stand point. If people are that sensitive, than they should stay home and watch the kids channel.
ChaoticEva Let's just stop catering to everyone then. Why do we need all these ramps everywhere for people who can't walk? Fuck 'em, they can just crawl up. We shouldn't have to cater to them just because they can't use their legs. Do you understand how ridiculous that is? It's not a huge inconvenience to help others. Sure, it would be a huge pain to put trigger warnings for absolutely everything in everything, but it's not hard to give warning in most things about the most common triggers. Warnings about suicide, rape, and abuse should be as common as having an option for subtitles.
It's less about sensitivity and more about the awareness of the problem that's always been there. Anyhow I don't see why people are getting so up in arms about it, it's a 10 second voice-over, stop victim blaming and move on.
I really enjoy your videos, I also wish to thank you for the warning at the beginning of this video. While I do not have any issue with stories involving the aforementioned tragedies, I appreciate the amount of thought put into your videos.
I do understand that there are quite a lot of individuals that have PTSD and are struggling to cope with things. But forcing someone to place trigger warnings...on a Horror game? Specifically one listed as psychological horror seems rather odd if not rude to the content creator.
I just noticed Cry almost has 2 million subscribers. Good job Cry!
While I believe that it's nice to have a warning if it may cause some people to relive some moments, the fact that this game is one of the most well known messed up games in horror should have been a given to some people. The Silent Hill series is just known for it to mess with your brain and freak you out. Now with people just complaining and pretty much forcing you to put a warning in the video is just ridiculous. If you have suspicion about the contents of something, then look more into it. It's like if you are going to watch an R rated movie but are unsure of why the movie is R. You look up why and then decide. Same case for this. It's M rated, therefore there may be some instances where it could have sexual themes, scenes, or anything that will make some people uncomfortable. Everyone just needs to stop complaining and look into something before even saying a word.
Grell
Yes :3
Lovely new addition to the series. I'm really enjoying this and dang man. Pyramid head is a pain in the rear. Nicely played and that coin puzzle would have been a real pain. Thank you for taking the time to give a general warning even if I don't understand what got people so worked up. Generally speaking most horror has darker content in it. Anyway, thanks again for another great vid. As always I look forward to the next and wish you the best of luck. Take care hun. :)
I don't wanna backseat game you at all Cry this is just a lil tip, you can step on enemies and the roaches by pressing the action button I believe (yah know the button you press when attacking enemies.) That's all I wanted to say so I'll get outta your hair. Byeeeee.
Props for always being respectful but still keeping it real homie G
