2:21:51 This part always creeped me the fuck out. Confirmation that not only is the town watching you, it actually wants to see you suffer. The fact that it's in such an inconspicuous place just adds to the dread.
It’s small detail but enjoyable how you played like how James would react to what was in front of him, like backing away from PH and checking things like he’s actively searching locked doors and clues.
@@myztik5716 I don’t think map checking effects game endings, but that still could be considered cannon because James and Mary visited the town many time, so assuming nightmare world doesn’t change it the building layout would look somewhat the same.
Imagine if they made that when you get Maria to follow you that she reacts more to what happens in game, similar to Ashley in RE4 but more, like when enemy appears that she sometimes yells to shoot him if James has gun or hit him with club, that she occasionally comments are we lost if you take too much time to get somewhere, or when you get to puzzles that she has some extra dialogue etc. It would bring huge immersion, they didnt think about it back then, it doesnt require anything special, its just extra dialogue connected to whats currently happening in game.
@@Dominik40301 That's exactly how it works in remake. she makes comments and gets startled when you break windows and can get jumped by monsters and call for james' help and will tell you you're going the wrong way if you doddle around too long
Dude, thanks for uploading this. Silent hill 2 is a beautiful piece of art that is unlike any other game, movie, song, book, anything that I’ve ever seen. I love this game.
Nobody seems to have noticed this, but when James finally understands what was happening and does not need pyramid head anymore, he fight bravely against two of them... Two of them that then provides two eggs... That is just abstraction that James had balls to win against himself.
The goal of Maria is to lure James in so she can cut him down and emasculate him as his punishment. He gets his balls back and finally takes a stand against her abuse in the end.
@@MrSoopSAI don’t think maria wanted to cut down his pp. I think her punishment is making him feel guilty bc he thought mary looked bad bc she was sick and wanted her to be pretty again. that’s why when she calls him in the cell to do the nasty when he arrives she’s dead, bc mary would never look the same again
Sorry to hear man :/ It's a good game that's relatable. Given your predicament I'd recommend playing it yourself. It's a piece of art. I play it whenever I'm down it's like a coping strategy. I feel heard.
As a 15 year old who's experienced loss, I too cried. As a 34 year old in 2022, I cried again. Beautifully & horrifyingly written game & acted dub. The HD version redubbed it and it's vastly inferior, doesn't make me cry like OG dub does.
@@joseftangpuz2050 They're all canon according to the developer lol but there are two particular preferred endings. Still stated that they're all canon however
@@joseftangpuz2050 not canon. I’m so sick of hearing this. James literally says “I’d never kill myself” not ten minutes before the ending, and Mary also tells him to go on with his life. Why fight so hard to live just to kill yourself? People just want to be edgy. Sucks that there’s not a good video like this with the Leave ending, which actually makes sense since the game implies Mary wanted kids or at the very least liked Laura, so James leaving with her and potentially adopting her is the best way to not only atone but also honor Mary’s memory. That’s probably why the game is designed for that to be almost everyone’s first ending.
The melancholic atmosphere is what gets me with SH2, i remember playing first when it was relased in a BW Tv at my friend's home. I was 15/16 at the time... idk if it was 'cause i had a crush in a girl or what it is, but this connection with thriller and romantic novel really make this my trully favorite game ever.
Nothing more incapacitating than fear to the unknown. You didn't need screamers or cliché storylines, it was more than enough with your own mind playing against you. I don't know what this game has but it makes you connect with James thoughts and desires
I like that you clearly know what you're doing, but you're still going through unusable items/objects for the flavor text, and not just rushing straight to where you have to be!
49:33 I remember reading this the first time I played this game and thinking nothing of it. When I played SH4 I instantly thought back to it. Such a nice little detail
I'm not intending to divulge a tremendous amount about myself, but I have to say that from when I first played this game back in 2001 this title has changed tremendously in meaning to me over the years. In 2018, I got married to the love of my life, and it was the happiest I'd ever been... For about two months life was as good as I'd ever hoped it would be. Then my wife started... showing symptoms, terrible symptoms. As you might imagine, my life took an abrupt 360 before the honeymoon period even had time to finish warming up. Long story short, about a year if hell later I had found out that she had a previous diagnosis of an illness she had kept from me -and for one reason or another she stopped taking the medication which was managing her illness. At that point, after the merciless brutality of the experience, I totally understood what would drive a someone to take the life of the one they loved most -not out of rage, anger, or hatred, but doing everything and anything they could to avoid allowing such things to come to bloom when there really was no fault regarding the illness. You know your life has taken you to a dark place you will never come back from when you can identify with the lead character of (without question) the darkest installment of one of the bleakest, most horrifying horror anthologies known to mankind. It goes without saying that not a day can ever go by that I don't wonder what would have transpired in my own life had I the misfortune of having despair consume me in a similar manner... but I honestly don't think it would have been too different an experience from what James went through. Everything from the delusions to the complete loss of soul, I can empathize with. Silent Hill 2 terrifies me more now than it ever did in my teen years, oxymoronically, because I know more now about myself and the horrors of the world than i did as a (relatively) naive 17 year old... which is curious to me, because we usually associate horror with the *unknown*, as opposed to what we *relate* to. Guess that's part of why Silent Hill 2 is so, so very different... and why I cannot, for the life of me, understand what's supposed to be so scary about animatronic restaurant entertainment.
@@Rin-qs1fw Oh, in his mind? That's easy, and hardly a deep question. Anyone that dares interrupt their constant mental chatter of entitlement and self gratification.
you can really see how james is broken and lost from his eyes from the moment he meets anlgela and says to her, he really don't care if the city is Dangerous or not such a great game
Some of the intense emotions in the remake were not captured properly from the original. However, you can't blame them, you can't improve perfection. The original Silent Hill 2 is perfection.
Just finished this game last night in 2024. I was able to download PCSX2 emulator on my pc, run the game in 4k, and then plug that into an old HD CRT Tv from 2004 with an adapter and component cables, and WOW the game looks incredible that way, especially on the TVs “vivid” mode! The colors !😮❤ I originally kinda hated this games mechanics when first playing. I never played the game as a child but i tried to play the game a few years ago, and i hated the way the camera would move around randomly, and some of the puzzles would make you want to pull your hair out. I shelved the game, and eventually sold it although half regretting the decision. Fast forward a few years, my buddy and I were cleaning out an old back taxes house that was really run down and falling apart. I went to the shelf at the house and looked thru the dvds and I found guess what, Silent Hill 2 for PS2! I thought, hell I just literally found the game in this creepy house, so why not give it justice again. I went home and set up my emulator on my laptop. It was a “sign”. Upon playing the game a second time, knowing more of what to expect, I wasnt so angry at the game anymore and I finally understand why the game is made the way it is, the devs really had an art direction in mind, and I was really able to appreciate this especially with the old CRT screen. The sound design is a flawless victory, the visuals are beautiful, and some of the voice acting and facial models for Maria are just so sexy and perfect. Each character plays an amazing roll and you really start to understand how silent hill effects them all. I found myself really sad for Angela in the end especially, and I wish that she had some sort of closure at the end. This game really is an interesting touch on depression and the human mind, and especially how fragile we all are. One step too far and we are driven to madness just like the game. Some visuals in the game are particularly disturbing and uncomfortable and I honestly dont think this game could have come out in 2024 without backlash because of our current political situations. Angela’s flaming staircase with the pictures of a violated female figure on the walls are particularly interesting and thought provoking. To put these themes of murder and sexual abuse in a video game nonetheless, is a really interesting way to make people aware of these instances, and Im glad this game came out in 2001 when it did. Really glad. It cant be censored. My favorite visual spots in the game: James running through town at night to find the buried object at the statue especially the tunnel and monsters under the chain link and the creepy rv Maria getting angry at the end before morphing into the demon. Her face and glowing eyes The gallows room with the sweeping horses noise The Lakeview hotel model in general especially the rising water and sound design after james realizes he did what he did. Maria’s sketchy stripper night club and music The final room in the hospital lobby after pyramid head kills Maria at the elevator, and piano music before james goes into the night. Overall this game is a mature and beautiful effort to showcase human weakness and suffering in a chosen video game medium. Kudos to team silent, and I REALLY hope that the new remake does this game justice for a new generation of players!
I wonder why no one ever talks about the gameshow-elevator. And how it played it off perfectly without being abrasive at any point? Not sure how it does it. If you try that in today's games you can't without it being cringe. I would say it works because it engages the player and makes them feel like pyramid head might be chasing them in the later segment because they guessed wrong in the elevator, even though that happens regardless. Seriously, there's no way of answering this without backtracking.😂
@chillfactory9000 sooo basically it's genius. They let the story play out like it normally would. But they engage the player by making them question themselves whether or not they answered correctly in the elevator.
@@ExzoSSG Every company that exists cares about money, and checks how people today will react and what they will give money for, that is to say that companies base feedback on the basis of consumer actions, if they released something else and there is a high demand for this field, they will invest in it because in less time they will make more money , you think the company is the problem but it is not, it is a key tool for its survival, the consumers are the problem, for example people spend a lot of money on GTA 5 online, do you understand why they are less in a hurry to release the next GTA? Because it accounts for 20 percent of their income without any expenses like a new game and releasing a new game requires large expenses that have risk? Because naive thinking "rich people or companies are bad" is wrong, if you feed a bad wolf and not a good wolf, who do you blame? ;)
@@BooskiWooski My point is quite simple. For example, a company produces based on what consumers do. If Konami releases a game that's not good or unfinished , and people keep buying it regardless of reviews, the company's stakeholders will see it as a successful product and continue on the same path as long as sales are better than a well-made game. In the end, consumer's actions determine the outcome, and the only reason Konami still doesn't provide value is that consumers send inaccurate feedback.
@@iOwlPro to Many Ways I Can Prove With Evidence That How What Your Saying Still Doesn’t Justify The Companies Bloodlust For Money I Feel You 100% But If A Lot Of Us Fw Something Tht Shouldn’t Validate A Companies Lack Of Enthusiasm To Provide More To Those Same Loyal Supporting Consumers , Capitalism Is Just Fucked😭😭😭
Because the water represents James' feelings -- he's drowning out what he did to his wife in the hotel. That's why Mary and Maria both keep reminding him he forgot the video tape they made there. The Hotel is the most intimate place James spent with Mary because it was before she got sick. He's submerging the memories of her, and when he remembers, the hotel begins to drain itself and it looks damp and disgusting.
Thank you so much for the playthrough, ever since I had my PS2 copy stolen years ago, it's kinda close as I can get to playing it again. The older I get, the more I appreciate this title.
its interesting, being the remake my first exposure to this game and silent hill franchise, i just beat it like 3 hours ago, and now im here looking at how the original stood, and yea, i can see why people adore this game before and now im happy i got to experience the remake, i love this game to bits and pieces now, and i cant wait to replay it more
I love these games, all that I want are just better controls and more enemies as far as remakes goes, but it looks like a whole new game is coming. New version?
The controls are perfect. Nothing to it. SH games are not about combat. The new butchered DEI-make indeed did AGAIN what the loathed Homecoming tried 15 years ago: turned the game into RE4 style OTS action game, and cranked up action. All while butchering the characters, the VA, the pacing and the OST.
Strangely random but i remember one day i woke up in the middle of the night with the sound inside the wall that fades in and out at 37:46 stuck in my head and i kept on imagining it to bring me back to sleep and since then that sound has brought me a feeling of comfort every time I hear or think about it, kinda odd
The demake sucks ass. It's by no means a replacement for the 2001 original SH2. Besides, you should never start a series with the sequels. Look up the "SH PC Guide 2023", and download the OG SH1-4 for your PC. They are piss easy to run these days.
@@GugureSuxcope and seethe and let others enjoy what they want. It greatly improved the atrocious acting of the original. It improved combat and enemy aggressiveness, it expanded on the environment, the Eddie boss fight is a million times better. You have to actually be careful instead of standing in one spot and bonking him on the head as he aimlessly runs in a small circle. All the boss battles are better tbh. The atmosphere is equal level. And modern visuals.
@@GugureSuxcope and seethe. Let others enjoy what they want. The remake improved many things. You’re just jaded. Much better acting than this goofy stuff. Enemies are more aggressive and smarter, combat is much better. Story is just as engaging and emotional as ever. Boss battles significantly improved. Especially Eddie. You have to actually be skillful and careful now. No more just going bonk on his head as he aimlessly runs in a small circle. The sound design tool what this did and upped it to a whole new level.
Honestly the part that freaks me out about Silent Hill games the most is JUMPING INTO A HOLE WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DEEP IT IS OR WHAT'S AT THE BOTTOM!!!! Like wtf who does that
Hey there! Examining the knife at certain points is required for a particular ending. I didn't recheck what times I needed to do this, so just did it when I had a moment to. I hope that clarifies and you were able to enjoy the playthrough :D
Ooh thank you for helping me understand. I’ve really enjoyed your play throughs. I watched your SH1 playthrough in entirety not too long ago and I’m half way done with this one. I’m hoping I can play for myself on an emulator someday
pro tip: if you knock out your enemy to the ground, don't hit with the pipe, kick it pressing x without r2, it kills instantly, also you can directly kick those cockroaches and then it dies with only one kick.
It's the original PC port (yes, 2-4 were multiplat already 20 years ago), with the fan-made Enhanced Edition mod, that makes it easier to run on modern systems + makes it work in widescreen, alongside with many bug fixes and enhancements. It is arguably the definitive way of playing the SH2, right after owning a real CRT + PS2 of course.
Just finished this game for the sixth time, forgot about the long dialogue that Mary gave to James at the end. What a sad game. I will play these games for the rest of my life. This game has the saddest ending, but I still say that Origins and 3 are the scariest SH games, and Origins is my favorite one too.
Agreed. The generic OTS view really kills the beautiful in-game cinematography, and results tons of artificial handholding being implemented in the game.
They indeed fucked it up beyond repair. Underaged zoom zooms who love TLOU / RE4R style 3rd person action-horror games will love it, though, since it's so handholdy and "less problematic" with its themes and character designs.
@@GugureSux The gameplay is improved I’m not sure how that’s a bad thing? The characters and the story is still all there and subtly not much has changed. Yeah maybe a little too much combat for a silent hill game and a lot more puzzles but that’s the only issue. It’s still the same exact game.
@@Kiddo_williams Zoomer here who played up until the apartments, both versions. Seems pretty similar even design wise, other than the first enemy encounter being different and the apartment looking different
I've been intrigued by this game since I was a kid. For some reason I've never played it, only watched it yet I can never remember much about it even after watching the whole thing a few times now.
SH2 has always been considered less outright scary, and definitely one of the easiest games in the series. Its beauty lies elsewhere, in the themes, haunting atmosphere, and the story.

Each character plays an amazing roll and you really start to understand how silent hill effects them all. I found myself really sad for Angela in the end especially, and I wish that she had some sort of closure at the end.
This game really is an interesting touch on depression and the human mind, and especially how fragile we all are. One step too far and we are driven to madness just like the game. Some visuals in the game are particularly disturbing and uncomfortable and I honestly dont think this game could have come out in 2024 without backlash because of our current political situations. Angela’s flaming staircase with the pictures of a violated female figure on the walls are particularly interesting and thought provoking. To put these themes of murder and sexual abuse in a video game nonetheless, is a really interesting way to make people aware of these instances, and Im glad this game came out in 2001 when it did. Really glad. It cant be censored.
My favorite visual spots in the game:
James running through town at night to find the buried object at the statue especially the tunnel and monsters under the chain link and the creepy rv
Maria getting angry at the end before morphing into the demon. Her face and glowing eyes
The gallows room with the sweeping horses noise
The Lakeview hotel model in general especially the rising water and sound design after james realizes he did what he did.
Maria’s sketchy stripper night club and music
The final room in the hospital lobby after pyramid head kills Maria at the elevator, and piano music before james goes into the night.
Overall this game is a mature and beautiful effort to showcase human weakness and suffering in a chosen video game medium. Kudos to team silent, and I REALLY hope that the new remake does this game justice for a new generation of players!
james it was not worth putting your hand in that toilet 😭
At least he got the handgun bullets on a locked safe
i thought this was so gross but it makes sense because james has no regard for his own comfort at that moment in the game LMAO
Awesomeness! The best version you can play. I’ve got the ps2 version running on my Steam Deck. Pretty solid handheld experience.
Maria's gravity defying hair made me chuckle.
I wonder why no one ever talks about the gameshow-elevator. And how it played it off perfectly without being abrasive at any point? Not sure how it does it. If you try that in today's games you can't without it being cringe. I would say it works because it engages the player and makes them feel like pyramid head might be chasing them in the later segment because they guessed wrong in the elevator, even though that happens regardless. Seriously, there's no way of answering this without backtracking.😂
Gave me a feeling of helplessness, which added to the vibes. The oddly cheery tone also feels horribly off.
@chillfactory9000 sooo basically it's genius. They let the story play out like it normally would. But they engage the player by making them question themselves whether or not they answered correctly in the elevator.
LOVE your videos, keep up the good work!
42 hours to go. I wonder which ending it's gonna be...
And the answer isssss:
Angela Ending. Kinda caught me off guard, not many people go for that one.

The amount of love you have for the franchise is truly admirable and I truly hope you get recognized by #Konami one day😊
Konami doesn't care about the fans or the games. Konami only cares about money and how they can make all of it.
@@ExzoSSG Every company that exists cares about money, and checks how people today will react and what they will give money for, that is to say that companies base feedback on the basis of consumer actions, if they released something else and there is a high demand for this field, they will invest in it because in less time they will make more money , you think the company is the problem but it is not, it is a key tool for its survival, the consumers are the problem, for example people spend a lot of money on GTA 5 online, do you understand why they are less in a hurry to release the next GTA? Because it accounts for 20 percent of their income without any expenses like a new game and releasing a new game requires large expenses that have risk? Because naive thinking "rich people or companies are bad" is wrong, if you feed a bad wolf and not a good wolf, who do you blame? ;)
@@iOwlPro They Are Money Hungry Asf Bro What Was Your Point
@@BooskiWooski My point is quite simple. For example, a company produces based on what consumers do. If Konami releases a game that's not good or unfinished , and people keep buying it regardless of reviews, the company's stakeholders will see it as a successful product and continue on the same path as long as sales are better than a well-made game. In the end, consumer's actions determine the outcome, and the only reason Konami still doesn't provide value is that consumers send inaccurate feedback.
@@iOwlPro to Many Ways I Can Prove With Evidence That How What Your Saying Still Doesn’t Justify The Companies Bloodlust For Money I Feel You 100% But If A Lot Of Us Fw Something Tht Shouldn’t Validate A Companies Lack Of Enthusiasm To Provide More To Those Same Loyal Supporting Consumers , Capitalism Is Just Fucked😭😭😭
I thought the hotel burned down? So why is it wet and flooded?
Because the water represents James' feelings -- he's drowning out what he did to his wife in the hotel. That's why Mary and Maria both keep reminding him he forgot the video tape they made there. The Hotel is the most intimate place James spent with Mary because it was before she got sick. He's submerging the memories of her, and when he remembers, the hotel begins to drain itself and it looks damp and disgusting.
It's ruins that burned down, now soaked
5:06 Literally my posture
(I actually need to fix it, bad 😭)
im came here after finishing silent hill 2 remake
Thank you so much for the playthrough, ever since I had my PS2 copy stolen years ago, it's kinda close as I can get to playing it again. The older I get, the more I appreciate this title.
Your not alown there the older i got i got more and more immersed in the story of silent hill
Why was pyramid head was dancing with the monster 😂 when jame was hiding in the wardrobe
I absolutely love this game. First played it when I was 10 and still in my top 5 of favorite games ever, even 20 years later.
This was the first game I ever played on PS2
@@DemstarAusI just recently dug out my old PS2, and this game a few nights ago, this game still makes me incredibly uneasy. What a fantastic game
How were you guys capable? My god the first one was horrifying and trying to solve the puzzles for me was maddening.
Is Laura voiced by the same actor that plays the little kid from the King of the Hill episode "Hank's Bully?" Sure sounds like it.
its interesting, being the remake my first exposure to this game and silent hill franchise, i just beat it like 3 hours ago, and now im here looking at how the original stood, and yea, i can see why people adore this game before and now im happy i got to experience the remake, i love this game to bits and pieces now, and i cant wait to replay it more
I love these games, all that I want are just better controls and more enemies as far as remakes goes, but it looks like a whole new game is coming. New version?
The controls are perfect. Nothing to it. SH games are not about combat.
The new butchered DEI-make indeed did AGAIN what the loathed Homecoming tried 15 years ago: turned the game into RE4 style OTS action game, and cranked up action. All while butchering the characters, the VA, the pacing and the OST.
2:52:00 I love how after the little shriek, James turns around and leaves LOL
3:08:57 this are the moments that make me enjoy this more than watching a speedrun
Great game never gets old mary stunning character.
I love Mary so much.
Strangely random but i remember one day i woke up in the middle of the night with the sound inside the wall that fades in and out at 37:46 stuck in my head and i kept on imagining it to bring me back to sleep and since then that sound has brought me a feeling of comfort every time I hear or think about it, kinda odd
It's always been more than a game.
Thank you for this video. 🙏🙏🙏
this game = 10/10 masterpiece imo.
in my top 5 games all time
Thanks for this video it helped me alot and got me through the game fast and enjoyably
Still haven’t played this , can’t wait anymore for the new one
The demake sucks ass. It's by no means a replacement for the 2001 original SH2.
Besides, you should never start a series with the sequels. Look up the "SH PC Guide 2023", and download the OG SH1-4 for your PC. They are piss easy to run these days.
@@GugureSuxcope and seethe and let others enjoy what they want. It greatly improved the atrocious acting of the original. It improved combat and enemy aggressiveness, it expanded on the environment, the Eddie boss fight is a million times better. You have to actually be careful instead of standing in one spot and bonking him on the head as he aimlessly runs in a small circle. All the boss battles are better tbh. The atmosphere is equal level. And modern visuals.
Don’t listen to haters. If you haven’t already pick the remake up. It’s phenomenal.
@@GugureSuxcope and seethe. Let others enjoy what they want. The remake improved many things. You’re just jaded. Much better acting than this goofy stuff. Enemies are more aggressive and smarter, combat is much better. Story is just as engaging and emotional as ever. Boss battles significantly improved. Especially Eddie. You have to actually be skillful and careful now. No more just going bonk on his head as he aimlessly runs in a small circle. The sound design tool what this did and upped it to a whole new level.
why is no one asking where did the pizza come from? 1:26:00 😂😂😂
Honestly the part that freaks me out about Silent Hill games the most is JUMPING INTO A HOLE WHEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DEEP IT IS OR WHAT'S AT THE BOTTOM!!!!
Like wtf who does that
This is the best (and for me the only) ending. James was called to Silen Hill to atone for his sins and die in peace at the end.
Quick question. Why are you constantly trying to use and examine Angela’s knife?! Or have I not reached the end of the story to know yet?
Hey there! Examining the knife at certain points is required for a particular ending. I didn't recheck what times I needed to do this, so just did it when I had a moment to. I hope that clarifies and you were able to enjoy the playthrough :D
Ooh thank you for helping me understand. I’ve really enjoyed your play throughs. I watched your SH1 playthrough in entirety not too long ago and I’m half way done with this one. I’m hoping I can play for myself on an emulator someday
Ty for walkthrough without commentary
pro tip: if you knock out your enemy to the ground, don't hit with the pipe, kick it pressing x without r2, it kills instantly, also you can directly kick those cockroaches and then it dies with only one kick.
After All this years i still Crying When Mary said : James You made me Happy 😭
beautiful game
Is this from the hd collection? Or just a scaled up improved ps2 version
It’s silent hill enhanced edition
A project enhanced version of the game on PC
It's the original PC port (yes, 2-4 were multiplat already 20 years ago), with the fan-made Enhanced Edition mod, that makes it easier to run on modern systems + makes it work in widescreen, alongside with many bug fixes and enhancements. It is arguably the definitive way of playing the SH2, right after owning a real CRT + PS2 of course.
Just finished this game for the sixth time, forgot about the long dialogue that Mary gave to James at the end. What a sad game. I will play these games for the rest of my life. This game has the saddest ending, but I still say that Origins and 3 are the scariest SH games, and Origins is my favorite one too.
Those graphics for this time were great!
Are you going to play the silent hill 2 remake when it comes out?
3:32 The remake has fixed camera behind James.
This is far far better
Agreed. The generic OTS view really kills the beautiful in-game cinematography, and results tons of artificial handholding being implemented in the game.
1:11:40 did Pyramid head seriously just.... eat the ass out of that other monster?
Im part excited for the remake and part scared they're going to fck up the story. The worst thing they can do is wreck Angela's story.
It's Bloober Team, it will be a dumpster fire
It won't come close to the OG we can only hope that it will be ok
They indeed fucked it up beyond repair. Underaged zoom zooms who love TLOU / RE4R style 3rd person action-horror games will love it, though, since it's so handholdy and "less problematic" with its themes and character designs.
@@GugureSux The gameplay is improved I’m not sure how that’s a bad thing? The characters and the story is still all there and subtly not much has changed. Yeah maybe a little too much combat for a silent hill game and a lot more puzzles but that’s the only issue. It’s still the same exact game.
@@Kiddo_williams Zoomer here who played up until the apartments, both versions. Seems pretty similar even design wise, other than the first enemy encounter being different and the apartment looking different
I've been intrigued by this game since I was a kid. For some reason I've never played it, only watched it yet I can never remember much about it even after watching the whole thing a few times now.
4:18:44 does anyone know the name of this song please i really need i it i can’t find anything
The name of this track is Peace & Serenity - Silent Hill 2
Who’s playing the remake this fall? I know I am. Part 2 is my favorite of the franchise and my favorite horror game of all time.
The remake looks terrible so I'm not
The DEI-make is fucking garbage. Every single worst fear of any SH fan, come true.
does anyone know the name of the song from the soundtrack that starts playing at 3:11?
"the forest trail" if you're still wondering :)
@@siz4rr thankyou so much!!! :))
these horror game protagonists really have guts because if I had to put my hand in a toilet…
DAMN just finished the remake and was interested in the og and im so sad the great knife was pretty much cut ☹️☹️ that woulda been so fun to use
2:54:30 What OST track is this?
the sound design and lighting🥰😍😍😍😍😍
He stabbed himself... With a spoon
2:14:48 when I saw Laura walking outside. I was so angry of her that I was shooting out the window
The graphics upgrade and fog compared to SH1 looks less scary..
This game is more depressing than horror like sh 1 and 3
SH2 has always been considered less outright scary, and definitely one of the easiest games in the series. Its beauty lies elsewhere, in the themes, haunting atmosphere, and the story.
Loved this series 😊😊😊
2:45:48 If you listen carefully, the voice says "Ritual". RI-TU-AL. For years, I always thought its HER-SHIN-RAW. 😂
2:57:57 idk how james can walk with this giant sword on his pocket
Was totally about to miss that cutscene at 3:58:29 because I tried to pause the game 😅
Thanks
