I ended up clicking on this because of its title and my curiosity to see what game this speed run was for. I was most definitely not disappointed. Punchy's explanations are very clear about everything and Punchy and his couch cast are hilarious. Great fun to watch.
It's weird too see someone playing Silent Hill with such confidence and enthusiasm , like seriously, I've played this game like 20 times and the scares still get me
Forever Zero never understood what people find scary, there's not really any jump scares in the silent hill games, and the radio warns you of all enemies? 🤷♂️
Craig Adams yes. Jump scares actually “scare” you. As in your body reflexes and it gets your heart rate going. Hearing radio static and some creepy noises in a video game? How is that remotely scary?
Punchy is such a likeable guy. When you see him running or even on the couch you know you're in for a memorable run. Awesome runner and awesome entertainer!
idk if you saw his ESA run of this. but boy that was memorable. but not entertaining. not really his fault. but he was getting more and more visibly upset as the run went on.
@Stana999 it's been years and years since I commented this but to answer your question, he was being talked over the entire run. People around him were eating McDonald's and whatnot and talking about that, it was like a shitty bro podcast was trying to usurp his speed run iirc.
As a fellow Englishman I have to say that Punchy's dry sense of humor is a welcome accompaniment to one of the finest games ever. Crack on bud, cracking run and cracking event as always.
One thing I love about speedruns is how it doesn’t make sense for the character you’re playing most of the time. Like story wise for Harry to wake up and immediately take off on his mission to find his daughter knowing exactly what he needs to do and where he needs to go is so funny to me
This video ages like fine wine... but i think its Punchy's charismatic dialogue/explanations in the whole stream that makes this entertaining. I come back to this just to watch his runs every now and then. Still can't believe its only been 4 yrs...
I'm glad the couch had confused faces just like me when that one donation comment said "SH was the first survival horror game". Maybe they meant it was THEIR first survival horror game, but it definitely wasn't THE first.
I think resident evil holds that title, only because they coined the term "survival horror". But they're not the first, since they have been horror games before RE.
The first survival horror game is probably the one that Resident Evil was inspired by. Released only in Japan for the Famicom. I believe it was called 'Sweet Home' or something like that.
I must say, Punchy's my favorite speed-run commentator so far. Really entertaining, fluid in talk, and interesting comments. Good lad Punchy, thumbs up!
Listening to Punchy's commentary is balm for the soul. I'm still laughing and I have watched this many, many times. So glad I was able to catch it live, too. (and, yes, you couldn't see shit outside your window in Germany during that run)
I keep rewatching this because Punchy's incredible at being funny, even though he's doing everything on the fly as a speedrunner. His comments on the Superman 64 run is the perfect example, just making an excellent joke on the fly.
The enemies don't have random health, it's that the shooting is inaccurate. It's one of the things that the Devs put in this game to make it more realistic. The whole idea was to make you feel like an ordinary person, rather than a game hero. I regularly read OPM and PS Power at the time.
Still strange to see those knife children, for someone who had the PAL version of the game (where they were replaced by mumblers due to wacky regional censorship daftness - enemy behaves the same regardless). Either way still the scariest a Silent Hill game has ever got. 3 came close, 4 went more weird than scary, 2 went more tragic than scary, but 1's still where it's at when it comes to feeling oppressed by the atmosphere.
Anyeone else notice agentjr with the donation? I remember watching his SH3 playthrough way back in the day. Probably the first let's player I ever watched on RUclips
Punchy is my favorite speed runner by far, he is really funny but is also good at the games he plays, and that's not even mentioning what games he chooses to run *cough cough* T.R.A.G *cough cough*
Fantastic Run! I had a question for anyone though, everytime I ever played Silent Hill, i'd waste all my ammo right before the end boss, as it caused him to instantly die and you didnt have to fight him at all. Is there a reason the speed run doesnt use this strat? Is it somehow faster to face the final boss? (sorry if im common sensing! ;D)
dont know if you ever got an answer, but I think I know why this is and why it might not be used in the runs. If you're a bad player and lose all your ammo before the final boss, the game has a failsafe that'll keep you from softlock. Ie, the final boss mightbe unbeatable if you don't have a long range weapon. Speeders deem it time consuming prob, so that may be why it's not used.
It's because you not only have to waste ammo boxes plus what's loaded in the gun. If you play on easy, your ammo boxes are doubled, so even more to waste. Then you have to cycle through your weapons in the menu, taking a bit of time each menu load, and fire each gun leading to the clicking from being empty. Then the boss dies. More time consuming than just killing the boss.
I was wondering how it could be possible he could of got sub 32 and have the run be 47:50 were he barely made many mistakes... Then that in game timer result at the end of 32:26....
"playing it safe"...I just remembered my first playthrough of Silent Hill 2. Was so conservative with my health items that I went most of the game with under 50% health....guess which ending I got ;)
I just beat it for the first time last night, the game drowns you in resources even on normal difficulty so i finished with like 10+ medkits and drinks, 300 handgun bullets, 150 shotgun shells, 40ish rifle shells lmao
How do they always have so many donations to read off? Is there some huge backlog they’re reading from that they never catch up on, or do they just come in that fast?
Would the UFO ending be a faster run, since it ends at the lighthouse, saving several minutes doing Nowhere? I get you gotta beat the game first before you can unlock the gem, but I've found the game much more forgiving if you do the UFO run on medium difficulty, that running through town is hellish.
36:00 This point onward is just hilarious. Suppose the interesting thing that can occur when you travel outside of your country, noticing all the things that are weird about the country you traveled to that the people there treat as normal. XD
That's called IGT or 'In game time' which means he's done it without the loading screens, pausing etc. Very common in speedrunning. If it's a RTA (Real Time Attack), it means the total time is taken. Anyhow, people with slower computers (more waiting time), could never achieve a WR with RTA. That's why IGT is often used.
Yeah that's the last one. However, all ammo must be consumed BEFORE the fight takes place. That way he needs to shoot up all his ammo, which takes time because you can't run and shoot. So I think that's why.
I started with Punchy's SH2 run, then watched the SH3 UFO ending run, and now I'm here. He's an absolute joy to watch and listen to.
Same
That's the exact same order that I watched the runs in.
Weird, I was doing this last night & this morning. I've watched these runs before too lmao
Mine was SH3 UFO ending. Then SH2. Finally, I'm here for SH1.

Punchy is pretty punchy tbh
Nienharo between Punchy, Maxi and plywood this run was gold.

Craig Adams gonna have to agree to disagree on this one mate.
@@Crying11Wolf you never played tge first one didnt you?
Victor Valletas play it often. Still have it downloaded on PSN.

This guy sounds like mage in video games that have quest for you
Haha you're right!
I think this is the best run I've ever seen. I love Punchy's humor and explanation of the game mechanics.
Hilarious guy. Loved him talking all the way
Silent Hill, 10:54
Nasturtium Thank you
Very nice
Real help dude ty
Nasturtium Thank you. You have made my life much easier.

This video ages like fine wine... but i think its Punchy's charismatic dialogue/explanations in the whole stream that makes this entertaining. I come back to this just to watch his runs every now and then. Still can't believe its only been 4 yrs...
At first I thought the runner was annoying, but as it went I turned out liking him. He is very on the ball with his comments.
This runner is dang hilarious 😂
I'm glad the couch had confused faces just like me when that one donation comment said "SH was the first survival horror game". Maybe they meant it was THEIR first survival horror game, but it definitely wasn't THE first.
I had to pause for a second after that came up.
I think resident evil holds that title, only because they coined the term "survival horror". But they're not the first, since they have been horror games before RE.
John Beetles Alone in the Dark created the modern formula, RE perfected it.
The first survival horror game is probably the one that Resident Evil was inspired by. Released only in Japan for the Famicom. I believe it was called 'Sweet Home' or something like that.
@@megajudge3 Woooooooooorms!
A lot of people loved BotW, but 2018-01-10 01-59-54 was my real game of the year for 2017.
I must say, Punchy's my favorite speed-run commentator so far. Really entertaining, fluid in talk, and interesting comments. Good lad Punchy, thumbs up!
I first heard punchy on the re7 run done by carcinogen and I liked him a lot!!! This run was great.
Great run! Loved the commentary!
Agentjrs let's plays of these games like a decade ago got me into silent hill, neat to hear their donation here
Me too, I just finished their playthrough of Silent Hill 4. I'm bummed Punchy or the couch barely reacted to the donation :(
Fantastic run!
Still my fav. GDQ run of all. Punchy is just a force. Absolutely wonderful.
This entire video and speedrun is so underrated!!
Listening to Punchy's commentary is balm for the soul. I'm still laughing and I have watched this many, many times. So glad I was able to catch it live, too. (and, yes, you couldn't see shit outside your window in Germany during that run)
Great run and great commentary.
Not only did he get the 47 RTA prediction, he also got the 49!
Excellent run, runner, couch, game, everything, cheers guys!
Punchy seems like the kind of guy I could do a 6 hours drinking session with. I could listen to him talk forever.
I love watching punchy's runs since he's very informative and hilarious as well. Great video :D
Great run and commentary Punchy!!!
That part at 47:55 where agentjr makes a donation, anyone else remember watching his let's play of silent hill?
A classic.
My first experience of this dude punchy.
Mad entertaining, id prob listen to him run a podcast regardless of the subject.
Punchy is by far the best for explaining things
That was the most restrained and modest commentary I've found on here so far. He never once said the nonsensical "that's a one frame move at 100fps."
Forgive my ignorance but what does that mean exactly?
I keep rewatching this because Punchy's incredible at being funny, even though he's doing everything on the fly as a speedrunner. His comments on the Superman 64 run is the perfect example, just making an excellent joke on the fly.
His analysis of IHOP is spot on.
I love this game "2018-01-10 01-59-54.flv"
The enemies don't have random health, it's that the shooting is inaccurate. It's one of the things that the Devs put in this game to make it more realistic. The whole idea was to make you feel like an ordinary person, rather than a game hero. I regularly read OPM and PS Power at the time.
"I downed like 3 Cokes before this run... bottles!!" Punchy ist funny :-)
how do you down the other kind? i think you left off the N'
One of the most efficient speed runs i have seen to date. Indigo children against the world! Realize who you are with your real eyes. I love you
Even to this day of advancement in technology with better graphics and all. SH1 remains most spooky of all.
That's why it's scary. The unknown. Everything looks ambiguous and fucked up
This game deserves a remake
I love how he clarified "cola" and then just laughter
R-r-r-r-r-r-raaanddoomm!
gud rrrrrrung

thank you for this content
Anyone else noticed how they kept changing his name from Punchy to Punchi and back, until like 20 minutes into the run?
His Twittername 'Punchy' was taken. So he decided to take up the name Punchi.
Anyeone else notice agentjr with the donation? I remember watching his SH3 playthrough way back in the day. Probably the first let's player I ever watched on RUclips

top game, top gamer, top commentary
Thank you for play
Punchy is my favorite speed runner by far, he is really funny but is also good at the games he plays, and that's not even mentioning what games he chooses to run *cough cough* T.R.A.G *cough cough*
I really enjoyed this run, more because of the runner than the game.
Excellent! My favourite!
this game is still fucking terrifying even with outdated graphics...
I like to think the gfx help to make it unsettling. It adds to the surreal atmosphere.
The outdated graphics are what's scary about it
@@jerrodshack7610 true :D
Anyone else notice they keep switching up the letters for Punchy(i?)'s name? Casters be trolling
They're showing his Twitch username. Guessing Punchy was already taken when he made his account
@@JBiggsNewJersey True that, he explained it in his video on his former WR on SH1.
quite sad to see few people watching the best horror game of all times, good run

I think that when it's also doing puzzles doesn't count
@Otacon464 i remember hearing something like that in other speedrun in gdq, but I can't remember if it was SH or RE
IGT doesnt account for loading screens.
"playing it safe"...I just remembered my first playthrough of Silent Hill 2. Was so conservative with my health items that I went most of the game with under 50% health....guess which ending I got ;)
I just beat it for the first time last night, the game drowns you in resources even on normal difficulty so i finished with like 10+ medkits and drinks, 300 handgun bullets, 150 shotgun shells, 40ish rifle shells lmao
"Silent hill was the first survival horror game"... ever heard of alone in the dark?
Aaaah. Silent Hill. Good ol time,. My first horror game, Just great :)
Awesome run, awesome commentary. Why no longer succinct, is it because of all the door-centric exposition?
"I don't like common sense." - Punchy, 2018
How do they always have so many donations to read off? Is there some huge backlog they’re reading from that they never catch up on, or do they just come in that fast?
Would the UFO ending be a faster run, since it ends at the lighthouse, saving several minutes doing Nowhere? I get you gotta beat the game first before you can unlock the gem, but I've found the game much more forgiving if you do the UFO run on medium difficulty, that running through town is hellish.
The rules for any% specify playing on new game and not new game+ so you cannot get the UFO ending. UFO ending itself is a category though
10:50
12:51 lol what that kid doing?
36:00 This point onward is just hilarious. Suppose the interesting thing that can occur when you travel outside of your country, noticing all the things that are weird about the country you traveled to that the people there treat as normal. XD
You should consider a career in voice acting, Punchy. You sound similar to Jeremy Irons. Fantastic voice! Fantastic commentary!
remember playing this as a kid and it scared the shit ouf of me haha
i did not make it past the beginning when you get the radio and the info that it turns on when there is a creature around
Does Punchy not have a Twitch? His commentary and energy were so great; wish I could watch him stream!
milky.mosaic try /Punchi
27:54 - What's Sanae doing at a GDQ?
how can he play a psx game with a ps4 controller. does he play on a ps emu on pc?
Epic title, bro!
He doesn’t have free refils?
neeed more Horror block speedruns! I nominate Haunting Ground for future gdq appearances xD
Great News, evdycis ran Haunting Ground this year
i want to watch speed run hard mode 💪🙂
Punchys Great :D. GoGo silent hill!
Drift your Harry, it’s the only way to turn
WAIT HE BEAT IT IN 32 MINUTES?

Johnny FiveAces shoutout @ 16:10, that was unexpected.
30:00 WEEEEAAAAAVE
why does he kill the boss with shots isn´t this one of the sh games where the boss just dies when you go in with no ammo?
Yeah that's the last one. However, all ammo must be consumed BEFORE the fight takes place. That way he needs to shoot up all his ammo, which takes time because you can't run and shoot. So I think that's why.
This guy got balls
I just need Punchy and SpikeVegeta to do a co-op of a game or something.
why so gray?
AGDQ and complaining about RNG. Name a more iconic duo.
Jesus christ somebody give that man more skittles!
Nice

11:00
This game deserves a remake!
new time 11:11
Skip to 11:00 lol
damn that new game hype lmao
The german version of this game changed the kids to pigs 😅
Same thing really isn't it.
All Eurpean versions replaced the kid enemies with Mumblers
Not only u as germany the europe version change from demon child (kid) to mumbler (pig) 😂
Haha that's hillarious.
I am absolutly not interested in horror games, not at all. But then, I saw Punchys Baba is you run and just had to watch this as well
how is he using a ps4 controller?
He is playing on a pstv not a psx.
