I Didn't Expect This! - Silent Hill 2 Remake Ending Gameplay Part 13

[@georgeizcazu152]

@30:16 Mary's monologue is interrupted when you open this door, please go back and listen to their entire conversation...

[@Duuhvis]

That letter, no matter how many time I play this game. That letter kills me. I lost my dad to cancer and I really relate to this game. But I really enjoyed your playthrough! Glad you enjoyed it too

[@kailee87]

i lost 2 of my family members to cancer this year, i feel you man, stay strong

[@artten5002]

Nah James never cheated on Mary Maria was born from a wish as the "ideal" Mary for James The sexy nurses, leg monsters and Maria all represent Jame's sexual repression and desires If James was really cheating, he wouldn't had care about Mary to even be in silent hill

[@UlricGrim]

@@GeisonSoaresLeandro What do all the monster’s represent? I know that Pyramid Head was his guilt, but what about the other? What about that monster than hangs by its arms?

[@uhuhuh1966]

@@GeisonSoaresLeandrothis is not true, I’m not saying you’re purposely lying you’re most likely just mistaken. The designers have never denied that.

[@meyelejuega3602]

@@uhuhuh1966 What do you mean? most of the monsters are reflections of James sexual repression, he wouldn't have those feelings if he cheated on mary, thats the whole point and the reason Maria exists, a sexualized version of the person he loved, i bet James never cheated on Mary, hell, his respressed feelings might even be a result of him evading women even after Mary's death.

[@kogeki7933]

@@UlricGrimthe lying figures are supposed to show us how mary felt, being bed ridden and almost no use of her arms while the mannequins are almost mocking marys sickness with how they can walk and do whatever

[@egosirius]

In Water ending is the most interesting one. Because James takes the responsibility of his deeds, free Maria from her loneliness and eternal suffering, and fulfills their wish to be together in their special place. And also Laura wouldn't see Mary's body in James's car.

[@Grendel2403]

Eh, I wouldn't say James is really taking responsibility well for his actions in this ending. The three endings are supposed to reflect his possible ways of dealing with what he's done; he can reject it and ignore it like Eddie does (Maria ending), he can allow it to consume him as Angela does (In Water ending), or he can accept it and move forward just as the Letter and a Wrench note says (Leave ending). James's mind essentially just succumbs to the grief of what he's done, much in the same way that Angela is not able to overcome her own trauma and apparently commits suicide by allowing herself to burn to death

[@beamertoy]

I wish we had Still ending James with the water ending. His performance was much more powerful. But water just makes sense because it would loop perfectly with the beginning of the game where he goes in the restroom to wash his face having no memory of how he just killed himself

[@kailee87]

15:29 they killed her 3 times just like she's been suffering for 3 years, James facing himself (Pyramid Head) to punish himself but now one he's ready to fight his demons

[@Grendel2403]

It's heavily implied that James actually made up the bit about 3 years and Mary died much more recently

[@schizomani4c]

@@Grendel2403 Its not implied its true. Because laura had just turned 8 a week ago and mary wrote a letter to her. So its likely James actually probably killed her the day before heading to silent hill.

[@Metalora]

​@@Grendel2403 The reason he deluded himself into thinking it was 3 years is because she became sick 3 years ago. She may have been still alive during that time, but she was dead to him.

[@TerryRed]

This game really is an amazing mind trip. When I played it 22 years ago it changed my life, and how I saw what video games and storytelling could be. Nothing else like it had come before it. As someone who saw his wife crumble away from illness over 2 years, I can relate to what both James and May went through. Both people are victims of the disease, and no one can understand what affect that has on a caretaker / spouse unless they go through it. It can break one down in ways we never thought possible. The disease killed the "person" that Mary was 3 years ago when she first got the disease. (she was most likely killed very recently based on other indicators) You also are shown this when Maria was found dead the 2nd time in the hospital bed, when you see her with the start of the same disease that Mary had. There are so many visual cues throughout the game to see. You see the home James and Mary lived in (and the bedroom Mary was killed in) being shown over and over in the Apartment buildings (where you found her hanky where PH mimicked similar acts in the apartment), the Labyrinth, etc. You can also hear Mary's "gasp" from the videotape at different important parts of the game. The monsters are visual representations of Mary and her sickness as well as James sexual frustrations (lying figures throwing up, all monsters having feminine / sexual tones). The locations changing to represent memories of both James and Mary's own otherworld hell (the hospital covered in dirty sheets, the rot, etc). There is a freshly dug (and open) grave in the graveyard on the first play in Silent Hill at the start. All the bodies in Silent Hill are James, alluding to the possibility that he is stuck in some sort of loop and he kept failing until you clear the game. The "memories" from the first game add a nice emphasis to this idea while also being nice easter eggs for players of the original. It also explains why the game and puzzles are somewhat jumbled and different than the original (while allowing the game to be fresh and new for all players). Angela's Abstract Daddy sequence was absolutely nightmarish in the remake compared to the original. If you watch the burning stairs scene with her (makes me bawl every time), you will see "Daddy" is now on the wall in a frame similar to the Abstract Daddy monster... only now he's been slit down the middle (including his "stuff" now being gone). You aren't meant to like / agree with James actions, but its ok to have empathy for the horrible situation he and Mary were both put in, as the disease made them each a "monster" in their own way... and its a tragic story all round. It's meant to make you think in ways you never did before... and its a special experience you'll never forget.

[@eeriecode1628]

Congratulations on finishing the game, I'm glad you enjoyed it! For the ending, it isn't really about specific choices, it's more a mix of how you played throughout the game. The "In Water" ending you got is what happens when you play as if James has a death wish (taking many injuries, not healing as soon as possible, spending a lot of time heavily wounded): basically, running out of healing items often pretty much locks you into this. It won't surprise you to learn this is one of the most common endings for the first playthrough! 😄

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

@@eeriecode1628 also interrupting Mary's speech on the hallway let's the game know James doesn't care about Mary

[@DreamerTrain]

There's a video released that explains how the points system works in the remake, it's a bit skewed towards In Water compared to OG, looking at the knife/letter in inventory has a little more weight, stomping on the monsters also adds you In Water points. Combat also influences regardless if you got hit and healed a lot or not (though low health also has its own weight where you get some percentage per second you spend injured), even if you do perfect combat you get points if you fight everything.

[@benlabon1983]

Aww man I couldn’t wait to watch each episode. Now it’s done I’m like now what do I watch 😊

[@Meowtro]

James isn't there to save Angela, and he can't because she doesn't even want to be saved.

[@athomicarts]

Please watch an analysis of the game. Only then will you understand a lot, and you’ll see the game from a different perspective. Mary's body is already in the back seat of the car at the start of the game. He's bringing her to Silent Hill one last time. Only when he looks in the mirror does he forget why he really came. In the long hallway at the end, you didn’t listen to half of Mary’s monologue. It gets very emotional. You have to listen to it (among other things) all the way to trigger a different ending. There are two Pyramid Heads at the end because James has two people on his conscience (Mary + Eddy). Angela was abused by her father (and brother). She always hid in her closet. There, she burned a photo. This caused the house to catch fire, resulting in the deaths of her father, her brother, and her mother. And so much more...

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

Not only did Angela suffer horribly through her early life, but she also suffered the horror of the town, all through no fault of her own. It's a sad truth of life that some people who suffer like her will never seek salvation because they think they don't deserve it. Angela is probably the most tragic character of any Silent Hill game, maybe even including Alessa.

[@carltasticdrew9633]

Also Lisa Garland. Forced to take care of Alessa, who is a living sacrifice of the cult Dahlia implemented.

[@joseconde91]

So far I haven't seen anyone notice the body hanging on the wall in Angela's scene, nice video by the way. Greetings 😊

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

12:13 I love it because everyone's natural instinct is to shoot the monsters, not realizing they're not actually attacking you 😂, conveniently placed there just to make you waste your ammo before the boss fight, and that's because now James knows what he did, he isn't running away from his guilt anymore, the monsters were obstacles made by his mind to avoid him facing the truth

[@robertrace8890]

What a great game, thank you for sharing this journey with us Suzy 😊

[@RustyPopcorn]

Suzy shame on you for skipping Mary's dialogue in the hallway 😤

[@SuzyLuOfficial]

I didn't mean too. :(

[@RustyPopcorn]

@@SuzyLuOfficial lol it's ok, but you actually should go back and listen to it. I think more importantly you'd get a lot out of watching the other endings, or at least a good one 👍. Ya don't get much from the bad ending (the "In Water" ending you got)

[@gonzalog.292]

Brutal ending

[@DBY2023]

Enjoyed watching you play this great game. Definitely watch the other endings though, especially the ‘leave’ ending.

[@clarejean3309]

Loved this gameplay (definitely game of the year for me alongside final fantasy 7 rebirth) thank you for this awesome yet scary journey!

30:17 james wait... 👁👄👁

[@darrenpattison7674]

35:44 Its all about to go a bit 'Fatal Attraction' lol

[@link77746]

good job on finishing the game i got the leave ending.

[@Never_Cook_Again]

You should react to the other endings as well, they are worth checking out.

[@Squidvin]

Marys body is actually in the backseat of James's car. She didn't die 3 years ago. He went insane after killing her and drove directly to Silent Hill. Also Marys letter never existed. The ending you got is actually the best ending in my opinion because James was never meant to leave Silent Hill. He was supposed to die like Eddie and Angela.

[@TevyaSmolka]

There’s also a happy ending which you can get if you do new game plus like I did.

[@UlricGrim]

It was fun following along with your gameplay, Suzy. Thanks! You and I got the same ending. If you didn’t realize, because I didn’t realize either, but Mary’s dead body was in the backseat of James’s car the whole time hidden under a sheet. At the end, he was talking to her dead body. He then turns around and slowly glances in the backseat at her body. It comes to show just how demented James became from all the guilt and torment of neglecting his wife and then killing her.

[@mastermind9490]

I'm proud of you for finishing this game. The story is really fascinating.

[@l33tspaniard]

You might have been able to see a different ending if you reloaded before Pyramid Heads and chugged healing drinks and stared at Mary :D but I think being mostly dead as long as you were sealed your fate lol

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great playthrough Suzy of this amazing remake

[@joeford6592]

Love your gameplay

[@artten5002]

This game is such a Masterpiece~ You would think it's a simple scary game and it gets SO personal that it hits incredibly hard I wish hope we can see your reaction on the endings, they are all so good!

[@EricTheBroBean]

I know its a "bad" ending, but its the ending that makes the most sense. In true Norman Bates style, he drives to Silent Hill with the body of his wife, in denial he killed her, only to face hell for what he did.

[@AmazingJaze]

You can thank whoever told you to inspect those items in your inventory at the start of each video for the ending you got

[@Chobbito]

Yeah that had some impact but sadly not letting Mary's conversation finish in the long hallway before leaving through the door and killing the retreating enemies after the video reveal which don't attack you anymore had a big impact on getting that ending too

[@jenniferpratt8790]

Great gameplay

[@DendroSaber]

This is the "canon" ending, but it's a bad ending. Mary says in the letter "I want you to live" but James can't get over her loss and decides to crash his car into the lake. Each ending requires a series of previous steps, so you could load a previous save (a couple of hours) and try to investigate more or do things differently. The new endings do require a new game +. I would have liked to see your reaction to all the endings, it's a shame you didn't record it. If you liked the game or you still have questions, I recommend you watch videos about the lore of the game because everyone misses a lot of things the first time or doesn't understand everything.

[@Bastian-Smith]

Make a video with all the endings, please!!! From Chile 🫰🏻

[@kamo124]

Maria was the idolized version of Mary, what james wanted from Mary when she was sick, so hotter, avaible and wanted to be protected Maria is the only character that is not real Each character sees silent hills differently. Laura went there for Mary but she has no sin so she is fine and sees no monsters. Angela sees fire and Eddie ice All the others sees monsters but in their own way Each monster represents something for James. About the nurses: The baby face symbolizes James and Mary's desire for a child. The suffocation that the Nurses experience is also representative of James's subconscious memory of smothering Mary with a pillow. The red squares covering the mouths symbolize "shrieking insanity," particularly Mary's anger and verbal abuse against James. about the mandarin (the enemies that stays underground/or roof : Mandarin symbolizes feelings of overwhelming, incomprehensible anguish and helplessness. For this reason, they are not permitted to stand above ground. The novelization also mentions they originated from a desire to "escape" The “cage monster” in the hospital (when Laura locks you in) it represents Mary badmouthing James in her last days (thats why its in a bed like and has a mouth). And so on.

[@LittleBearbrazil]

Suzy you must watch the orher finals of this game, two of the are specially awesome!

[@Somedudee]

Could you upload your reaction to the other endings? Would love to see what you think of them

[@beamertoy]

You don’t see it in the scene but her body is in the back seat curled in sheets. Someone played around with the camera and clipped it thru the car at the beginning of the game and you can see her laying there.

[@uhuhuh1966]

I’m so sad that you didn’t get the “Leave” ending 😭 that one’s my favorite where Mary can finally rest

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

You got that ending because you interrupted Mary's speech on the hallway

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

10:55 James left her there, because only she could help herself, she just gave up, she was right, James shouldn't have fought the "dad". It was her fight, her trauma, unfortunately she wasn't strong enough on her own (the fault was of her mother telling her she deserved it and she wasn't worth it)

[@sha-dow4701]

Waiting for lore reaction ❤ 30:11 this was painful to watch you need to wait for the dialog to end 😅 Maria wasn't real from the start she was born from a wish she is the perfect mary for James does it seems strange that you never saw maria with anyone else you've never seen her with Laura she said she saw her running but nobody mentioned her and there is no bad ending thee is main endings and jokes endings but most of the fans hate the maria ending (including me )

[@jenniferpratt8790]

Can you play life is strange double exposure

[@Миша-щ2ц-ф3х]

this is the bad ending of the game there are 8 of them

[@bombird8813]

There is no such thing as a bad ending in this game or it would be called the bad ending

[@gab2v7]

Arguably "Maria" is considered the bad ending of the game, because James learned nothing and Maria is cursed to get Mary's disease.

[@Chobbito]

Sadly two of the biggest impacts that influenced her "negative' ending was killing the retreating enemies at the end of the game which don't try to attack after James learns the truth from the video, and the fact she ran through the door in the long corridor before Mary's conversation ended and missed the part where she talks about not wanting James to leave and not wanting die.

[@AriFrozen]

There's no "bad" ending as has been stated many times

[@Jhayzt19]

To me, the Maria ending is my bad ending.

[@uhuhuh1966]

They keep killing Maria so James can relive the trauma of Mary dying

[@carlossaboia6467]

The pyramid head is the embodiment of the guilt that James carries for killing Mary

[@uhuhuh1966]

James never cheated (even tho he thought about it) he killed Mary and Maria is the towns manifestation of what Mary couldn’t be when she was sick, she can fulfill his desires unlike Mary who was confined to a bed

[@alvifadhollah]

please upload your reaction on other Silent Hill 2 ending

[@easyv7775]

this is the ending considered canon by one of the original programmers

[@carlossaboia6467]

Angela's story is well sad 😢

[@Final.Soldier]

Next vid should you watching all the other endings

[@EkaEka-op8vz]

PLEASE REACT ALL ENDING!

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

In fact, there was no murder on the videotape, it was the moment Mary got sick

[@Squidvin]

If you look closely you can see James shooting Mary with a rifle. And after that you can also see James choking her. Wouldn't make sense to choke her though. If he already shot her. But that's what I saw in the video.

[@FernandoMMuniz]

@@Squidvin I don't know where you are seeing that. What he's doing is approaching her in her sleep with a pillow and then suffocating her with it.

[@AtelierOfWeebs]

@@Squidvin i don't think it was a rifle, he did look weird because he had the red pyramid on his head

[@Squidvin]

@@FernandoMMuniz It could also be a pillow. It's hard to see so maybe you're right.

better play the original game 2001, it's a real masterpiece. It takes 5-7 hours to complete. It's much deeper and better than the remake. The remake is a pathetic parody of this game.
