Harry’s death was such a crazy reveal that you were actually Cheryl. From the start of the game until his death, you are just some random girl named Heather.

[@mlancholia3920]

and the fact that Heather is also Alessa, the girl who started the chaos in Silent Hill, is mind-blowing.

[@Camelotsmoon]

Lol, it's funny, I never really thought about how at release you may not realize her dad over the phone was harry until after the missionary boss when they reveal it's Harry. I'm so used to already knowing all of this, since I didn't play SH3 till like 2015.

& that originally, the god inside Heather used Harry's grief for his deceased wife & his "1st Cheryl" to feed on his despair & ignite his hatred; almost causing him to almost strangled baby Heather. Thankfully, he had empathy & realised he loved his new daughter, for she wasn't his Cheryl, but still part of her; he would raise & love her as dying Alessa/Cheryl asked him to.

I wish I didn't get that spoiled when I was a kid. We were all hyped to get SH3, the game where "you play as Harry's daughter!"

[@destho4308]

Loved this soundtrack, it was included in the PC version with a separate CD. One of my favorite tracks was Rain of Brass Petals, an ominous piece of music. Akira Yamaoka fueled my desire for horror music.

[@cyberdemon9306]

The whole game is fantastic but there's something special about that moment in the bathroom and in the back alley that makes it one of my favorite parts of the game.. when you're there you can definitely tell that's going to be your last chance to breathe before the never ending nightmare actually starts... and this music fits perfectly with that sunset.

[@aelius3805]

I'm a 30 year old man and I still listen to that song, lol. I find it to be great when I finish a rough day or right before I go to bed. I also had a huge crush on Heather when I was a kid, lol. She basically made me love blonde women with freckles and short hair, I still do.

Silent Hill 2 might be the most popular and celebrated, but 3 will always be my favorite. Such a masterpiece, so many memories playing it with my dad.

[@ms.greywolf8228]

Having played SH3 just after finishing SH2, I swear it was way more terrifying in just about every aspect, to the point I didn't really care how empty the metro and sewers were, I loved them. Specifically the sewers, given how simply outlandish it felt to wander through those long, dark paths with that drone noise behind each and every step. Haven't felt that many times, although that is still not as scary as a panic attack.

[@schemar17]

To much filler for me and the ending sucks

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

I suppose it depends on what makes you feel most uncomfortable: being the victim of something awful or having done something terrible and having to live the rest of your life with that over you. At the end of the day the events in the games that centre the cult are much worse because you can't make any excuse for ritualistic child abuse and forced impregnation of a minor, whereas what James did could at least be argued as ending his spouse's suffering. I imagine a lot of people got more out of James's story because it's a thing they could potentially see themselves doing (or being tempted to) in his circumstances but Heather/Cheryl/Alyssa definitely had the most horrific personal trauma possible out of the original series and the fact that she had to experience it a third time in SH3 is definitely pretty grim.

[@ms.greywolf8228]

@@casanovafunkenstein5090 that's a perspective I hadn't seen before, and it does apply in my case. One of the things I hate the most is innocence being stolen from someone for no rational motif, and I did have some shitty experiences with religious zealots that almost ruined spirituality for me and my friends. James' motif was one most people would face on such a situation, from what I've seen, because people are people. Still didn't spook me as bad as the days of panic attacks and lucid nightmares. Became kinda resilient towards fear because of that, so despite any weaknesses it may have, SH3 took the crown for me because it truly managed to make me feel uncomfortable, even more because of Heather. Knowing what women have to deal with, the whole game kept me on edge.

[@Andriej69]

Looks like SH3 apologists are coming out of the woodwork... Sorry, SH2 is Master Race

[@bagusadhywicaksono250]

Agree, easily one of the scariest game I've ever played. Growing up I always thought that SH1 was scarier than SH2. But that was probably help by the novelty of the game and the technical limitations of PS1. I never found SH2 to be scary or disturbing but rather sad. SH3 on the other hand, had more creepy and terrifying locations, those bunnies still terrify me (IMO scarier than PH). It had one of the scariest sequence I've ever experienced, the mirror transformation. The fact that it slowly happened in game was what made it even scarier for me. Plus, it had one of the best video game opening song and you get to dress up and fight as a sailormoon knockoff 😅.

[@AvalancheReviews]

I just started the video, and I have to warn you. If there is a single negative word spoken about this game, I will fucking riot!!!!!

[@BoulderPunch]

Well, there might be a few here and there...

[@ColbyNeblett]

Heather is such a great character. She feels like such a real person with how she interacts with people and the world around her. She's not a helpless damsel, she's not an uber badass. She's young woman doing her best - rising to the challenge because she has to. And to me that makes her an even better character.

[@morbionicle]

Dude... srsly thank you for your content in those never-ending dire times. Brightens one's day.

[@TheRussian13]

The part about Heather's father I didn't think it was necessary to show interactions with him before his death. I could see that as being important for a friend or someone else. However it's clear that he's her father and they have a good or normal relationship, it's not like she despises him. If anything I think it can be more emotional to not have an interaction with him before he's killed. It's like being away from family for work or school, and tragedy strikes while you're away. Especially since Heather never got to have an in person dialog with her father, so she never got any last words. I agree it could be interesting to know how Silent Hill would approach having interactions with Heather's father before he dies, but I don't believe it's necessary.

[@gRinchY-op5vr]

I felt like we got enough from notes and journals you find after his death either about him or he wrote, plus Heather's comments on things when you interact with stuff. Sometimes she'll talk about Harry, these things tell us all we need to know about their relationship. And showing any interactions between them right before he dies? That would have just given away the twist that he was Harry and she is actually Alessa/Cheryl too early on, it still bugs me that the HD collection didn't bother hiding his face the way it originally was because for some the HD collection was their introduction to the series due to availability

[@TheHalloweenSpirit]

I love SH 3 and Heather, she is the best SH protagonist, and have the best gameplay of the Team Silent games Also it is the scariest for me because it touches more the ordinary and urban aspect of a normal day and twists it with the darkness of the SH OtherWorld

[@Ryabetic]

I love your appreciation for 'End of Small Sanctuary'. As a lover of maj7, it's one of my favorite songs in any video game I've ever played. The vibes at that point in the game are absolutely immaculate.

[@ExValeFor]

wish you had touched on Valtiel and his role in in game. he is effectively this games pyramid head, and the clear favorite among what remains of team silent to be the premier silent hill monster.

[@KassFireborn]

Replaying or watching a video and seeing Valtiel turning his valves again for the first time always hits me in a weird creepynostalgia place.

[@JGCO115]

Not exactly. While his design is reminiscent of Pyramid Head they have different origins and roles, pyramid head was a manifestation of James's guilt over him killing his own wife and his desire for punishment. while Valtiel is a Angel/Demon from the order's religion he only watched over heather because she's carrying the God in her womb, and it's his job as a servant to make sure it's rebirth is achieved, which is why he shows up every time you die in-game.

[@trainingben.]

Words cannot describe how much this game means to me, sublime would be a good one. So many aspects of this game are truly spectacular. From the Horror, Symbolism, Soundtrack, Characters and story. It definitely is the highlight of the series, in my opinion. Heather as a protagonist has always stood out to me. She's incredibly relatable and has always either reminded me of myself, or someone I know extremely well. And this feeling, to successfully achieve this on the player is a great feeling. Team Silent did a fantastic job here.

[@Nicomanism]

Discovering this game in a Playstation magazine, in one of those feature demo discs, became the reason I wanted a PS2 at age of 7. Back in 2003, this blew me away by its graphics, presentation. I never heard of this franchise at the time, so it was also an exciting time to be a gamer then.

[@MosesMedinaE]

SH 3 was great. I said this in one of your other SH videos but my personal favorite is 1. To me SH 3 was the first of the original 4 that I had a hard time starting but as you said in your vid once that later half kicks off the game shines.

[@shaankelly1302]

I feel SH3 is the best in the series. Heather is so releatable and written so well and her VA is so good she is my fav protagonist in all of gaming. While the story isnt as depressing as SH2 its far more disturbing. I mean Heather has a demon god in her and throws it up. As well as the monster designs being completely unsettling. The horror after the End of the Small Sanctuary never relents. You never have a second to breathe the horror is suffocating at all times. Which would normally be a bad thing but it works for this game. The hospital in particular being increcibly horrifying. Ive played this game 100s of times even speedrun it and it still has me on edge every time i play it. The only horror game to still creep me out after so many replays. SH2 is a masterpiece. So is SH3 and im def Team SH3 in terms of a favorite.

[@SteVen-eg4sq]

SH3 is definitely my fav, 2 is probably objectively the best but I have the most love for 3. 1 is also amazing. I used to speedrun it and the hospital was where shit got real in NG+ with all the pulsating walls. It really used to break my composure, that shit was terrifying.

[@mozartcastellanosGK]

After looking at your review, I now have my favorite in this series.

[@yphoenix5957]

I just finished SH3 after playing through SH2. Guess I'm not the only one either haha. I actually put my SH3 playthrough on hold because of how palpably halting the atmosphere in this one is. The way the Otherworld is portrayed in SH3 is shockingly similar to nightmares I'd have as a kid, scraping saw blade sounds and all! I watched your SH2 video and felt the need to finish SH3, and I'm glad I did because I'm never forgetting that carousel 🎠 😅 Since you made this video, guessing you'll be making a video on Silent Hill 4?

[@IcedSynergy]

I found a sealed PC box copy of SH4 yesterday so I'm super excited to see you cover it and the PC port since it was the first SH game on PC to my knowledge

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

I believe that 2 and 3 were ported, but they were quite heavily compromised due to the PS2 games having a lot of very platform-specific visual effects that couldn't be replicated on other platforms and Japanese developers not having much experience making games for the platform (most Japanese consumers played on console exclusively and Japanese PC games were historically on platforms like the MSX, which were region-specific and predated the IBM compatible/MS-DOS era). That said there are mods for those ports that do a better job than the HD collection

[@sunray2818]

@@casanovafunkenstein5090 3 was actually very good since it was done by Team Silent, but yeah 2 was heavily compromised, the mod made it much better though. 4 I heard is good on PC, actually 4 is good on all platforms with individual strengths, I just bought a brand new copy of Xbox version as well.

Isn’t it crazy what an insanely good job they did with this game? Definitely better times. They put their full passion into making these original silent hill games, and it’s really one of the best examples of how awful things have gotten with developers only carrying about money/agendas. Aren’t you glad we were born in the 80’s man? haha…wouldn’t trade that for anything. I remember growing up so happy and just having the time of my life. Even though I got bullied in high school (who didn’t that was in school late 80’s/beginning of 2000’s or around that), I used it to help me grow a spine, being able to stand up to others and as a result I didn’t become a super weak individual.

I completely broke as Heather when she found Harry dead in the chair. As I am fully aware what he went through in the first game. I do however agree. If one hasn't played the first game, the the reveal isn't as strong if they fleshed it out a bit more. I also think that the second one is my favorite because of the deep dive in what effect depression, guilt and denial can have on a person psychological. This game's theme is however really strong. Heather is one of the best characters in gaming history. She really seems like a real person.

[@themanwhosoldtheworld3284]

SH3 is the most Game-like in the series. I've finished it almost 20 times.. Unfortunately when compared to the story of 2 and horror of 4, it pales in comparison. I hope you can try/review SH4.. Please be open minded when doing so, as it is one of the most difficult games to get into.

Silent Hill 3 has some of the scariest sections in the franchise for me, that manequin room, that hospital room, and the haunted house. Also, the graphics in this game, wow, still hard to believe this was running on a PS2 in 2003. Anyway, for me, this is when the series ended, Silent Hill is a great trilogy, The Room just didnt do it for me, and after that, Team Silent disbanded, so...

[@Nick-mv5kg]

I think Room really splits fans (with the debacle on whether it is a Silent Hill game or not), but the music and some of the set pieces really made it terrifying, you can see the inspiration from Korean ghost/supernatural films and Iappreciate how the team were able to capture that and make it the essence of SH4.

[@VideoGuy232]

The room was the game that managed to capture the most consistent feeling of hopelessness and despair for me. Playing through it, the world feels very disorienting and labyrinthine. I don’t think it gets enough credit for the ways it tries to mix up the formula that was starting to show some wear in 3. There are some really great ideas and mechanics in the game, and just in its overall concept, even though the execution of those ideas can be hit or miss at times. The setting of the room and nightmare worlds was very fresh at the time, and the slasher -like mystery was a unique direction for the series. Henry’s solitude and peering out into the world from within was an interesting theme as well, even though his character could’ve been more fleshed out. Whether you like it or not, I think the Room should at least be commended for what it does bring to the table.

Even though I love SH2 and think overall its the best game in terms of sound,story and as a piece of art i think that if you take SH2 and SH3 just by their video game side (mechanics and game environments) SH3 is a better game. SH3 has that feeling of pure video game horror that lies in the fact that Heather just wants to go back home(for the first half) thus the game has the feeling of enemies wanting to kill you. In SH2 the enemies give the feeling that they could attack anyone that went through there thus us fighting them feels a bit more natural

I actually always thought SH3 was the strongest game in the series. I thought it had the best graphics, game play, soundtrack, and protagonist. While I understand why SH2 has had the most longevity in its influence, I would always put out to people that SH3 was arguably the better game.

[@BLZ231]

SH3 definitely has a lot going for it, but the reason why SH2 is generally regarded as the best game in the series is because the story is so good, while SH3 went back to the silly cult nonsense of the first game. Admittedly the bizarre story in SH1 and SH3 does a good job of enhancing the sense of being trapped in a nightmare, but even so I find it hard to take the narrative seriously.

@@BLZ231 I am aware of that.. hence saying I knew why SH2 has more influence. That's also why I didn't list "story" as to why SH3 was better. But that is a single component. Story gives longevity to SH2 but is that what makes a superior gaming experience? I would argue not necessarily.

@@andrewhill3278 Personally I think that gameplay and story are the most important aspects of a game. Fun gameplay can make up for a mediocre story, and a great story can make up for mediocre gameplay. If SH3 had a better story, personally I probably would rank it higher than SH2, as I do think the gameplay is overall better and more polished, I like Heather more as a protagonist, and the vibrant and grotesque environments of SH3 are more memorable than SH2's rather drab environments. I get that SH2's environments are a bit drab and washed out because of the story, and it works for the overall narrative and atmosphere the game is going for. But overall I think SH3 is much more interesting to look at. Still, the reason why I think SH2 works better than SH3 is context. In SH2 you keep going to see the well done story unfold, but in SH3 the story is just silly cult nonsense, so you keep going less because you want to see how the story unfolds and more because you want to see the next horror set piece. And while the horror set pieces are very well done, the plot connecting them all together is pretty flimsy.

SH2 only has better story, everything else SH3 done better

16:22 yeah off-screen death is not good, maybe if the protagonist is killed by a stick golf is more impactful to players.

The soundtrack for Silent Hill 3 is one of the best video game soundtracks, especially Rain of Brass Petals - Three Voices Edit

I don't have my old playstations anymore, what is the next best way to play the silent hill games today?

[@Mahdi_B]

@JustJune I really despise the visuals in the HD remake so I’m trying my best to avoid playing that version.

[@teamhammerbros8466]

[@MrBlaze256]

I wish they would remake these like they are the resident evil games

[@d00s0n]

I only played the 1st one and i needed to cheat to beat it lol i was stuck on the piano puzzle for weeks till i gave up and looked online. And only played in day time cause the game was too scary for me.
