One could prefer the remake, except for this particular aspect; that's also valid. And, imo, it's not that one VA is “better than” or “worse than” the other, but rather they're different approaches to the material, but even so, one can't deny this one version is full of raw, genuine and by-the-moment emotions that can't be imitated, and in that sense, it's a wise thing they didn't tried to do it in the remake, bc they wouldn't have managed; bc you can't fake that feeling. So it's best to take another approach to it. It's not the same, but it's still good and it still fits. It's more solemn than tearjerking, but it's still a goodbye and it's still melancholic. That's my two cents about this, and I admit I haven't seen the og game, so I may lack perspective, though mine's arguably non-biased, other than some folks, but not all. So try taking it easy on this one, ok? Godspeed to y'all.

The beginning of the game opens with the first few lines of the letter...but we don’t see the rest. It implies that James has the full letter, but, wether due to mental repression, or the town’s influence, he only sees the first few lines. Yet, at the end of the story, he reads the letter again, and this time, he’s reading it all. He knows the truth now, so there’s no need to keep hiding from it.
@endlessevanescence35026 жыл бұрын
The thing about Silent Hill 2 that I'll forever love and appreciate is that this masterpiece makes you THINK about yourself and your relationship - ANY relationship you share with anyone you care about, doesn't matter if it's platonic or romantic. The game is telling you from this letter that if you have someone you care about - a husband, or wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend - don't give up on them, don't leave them, do not stop loving them, no matter how much pain that's poisoning you and them. Life is too short, that's a common truth that we don't think about, but it is. Life can take that person you care about away, and you won't see it coming. It could be from anything, it could even be from a cruel illness. But for the love of god, please don't stop loving them, and please be there for each other. Honor them the best way you can, remember them, do not let that person go. If they caused you some pain, if you caused THEM some pain, don't hate them and don't hate yourself...you have to forgive them and you HAVE to forgive yourself. Pain should never be the winner, I don't care how corny that sounds. My game ended with James leaving town with Laura. Mary forgave him, he forgave himself. He always knew he loved her, hate was never in his heart, he just confused that hate and aimed it at her when he was really hating himself. If he hadn't found that resolution, if the town hadn't given him that one chance to TALK to her, he would be dead. But in my canon, James is alive, he's honoring Mary, hes living for himself and HER. That's all he can do. Silent Hill 2 is just an extremely powerful experience, it really is. It's really no wonder it's considered the best game in the whole franchise - it told one of the most human stories gaming could achieve and then some.

My experience with SH2 is a lot different than others. My dad had lung cancer when I was 14. He was suffering badly towards the end. He was given a shot of morphine to help him go to sleep and pass on. This clouded my interpretation of James killing Mary. Sure, he had all the sexual frustration, but Mary was also cruel to him; but they both loved each other. There is a lot of shadow, but there is also a lot of light. It was at the height of her sickness he suffocated her. I think he really wanted her to be ok.

I was with this girl, she died in 2019. One of the last things she ever said to me was “you make me happy.” Fast forward to last year, I had forgotten the entire letter, so when I finished the game and heard that part of the letter, I cried harder than I ever did in my life.

I love silent hill 2 more than almost any other game, but it's hard for me to go back and play it because it makes me very emotional and brings back feelings of depression from my past. I want to enjoy it, but I know that it will be a burden on my heart, which is why I rarely go back to experience it again. Regardless, it's a masterpiece that will probably never be topped.

I just need to get this out my guts, I can't sleep for nights... My wife is sick, she's sick and in pain. And I'm sincerely taking care of her while working a 12 hours shift.. One day she's feeling better and then next day, her condition worsen. I would sacrifice anything to see her smile again, I would do anything to make her happy forever. God I know I won't end up like what James did in this game but, I'm afraid to be alone. I can't imagine my life without her, she's my best friend, my ego, my support and my love till the end. I can't bear the feeling of loneliness and living in solitude without the only light of my life.. I'm so afraid, I can't stop these thoughts and tears. I don't know how long I can pretend to be all hopeful and high spirited in front of her. Please don't leave me, sayang... I don't want to read your very version of this Mary's Letter.. Sayang, abang selalu berdoa agar kamu cepat sembuh, abang cintakan kamu...

The impact of the letter in the remake is way less painful for me than this version. The way her voice cracks and hold the sobs. And also the choice of words... Even if the remake has the story way more coherent and better performed, this letter is a masterpiece. The "You made me happy" of this version makes me teary and in the remake is more like, just sad feelings.

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised me you'd take me there again someday. But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now... In our 'special place'... Waiting for you... Waiting for you to come to see me. But you never do. And so I wait, wrapped in my cocoon of pain and loneliness. I know I've done a terrible thing to you. Something you'll never forgive me for. I wish I could change that, but I can't. I feel so pathetic and ugly laying here, waiting for you... Every day I stare up at the cracks in the ceiling and all I can think about is how unfair it all is... The doctor came today. He told me I could go home for a short stay. It’s not that I'm getting better. It’s just that this may be my last chance... I think you know what I mean... Even so, I'm glad to be coming home. I've missed you terribly. But I'm afraid, James. I'm afraid you don't really want me to come home. Whenever you come see me, I can tell how hard it is on you... I don't know if you hate me or pity me... Or maybe I just disgust you... I'm sorry about that. When I first learned that I was going to die, I just didn't want to accept it. I was so angry all the time and I struck out at everyone I loved most. Especially you, James. That's why I understand if you do hate me. But I want you to know this, James. I'll always love you. Even though our life together had to end like this, I still wouldn't trade it for the world. We had some wonderful years together. Well, this letter has gone on too long, so I'll say goodbye. I told the nurse to give this to you after I'm gone. That means that as you read this, I'm already dead. I can't tell you to remember me, but I can't bear for you to forget me. These last few years since I became ill... I'm so sorry for what I did to you, did to us... You've given me so much and I haven't been able to return a single thing. That's why I want you to live for yourself now. Do what's best for you, James. James... You made me happy."

I've recently watched a playthrough of the SH2 remake and came here to hear the original. This hits REALLY HARD. My partner is currently dealing with some serious health issues and I can't help but feel some resentment towards them due to financial reasons. They were the bread winner, and now I'm trying my best to support us. I hate myself for feeling the way I do when I walk downstairs in the morning and see their car still sitting in their parking spot outside our apartment instead of being at work. I keep putting on a brave face and going to work even when I'm vomiting the morning before(I have my own chronic health issues) and struggling to drive 30 minutes to work while they sleep on the couch and watch YT/play video games all day. I can't hate them for it cuz I've seen what has happened to them... unable to stand for longer than 10 seconds, shaking hands and body, unable to control their body temp.... but yet... I would definitely have my own Silent Hill if it existed for sure... I love them dearly but as it is... I don't know...

This on its own is extremely depressing. But experiencing this game, the complete emotional deterioration and draining leading up to this letter, makes the impact 10x more heartbreaking. Its beautiful. I was always a wuss when it came to horror games, especially these older ones. I never played it but I did watch playthrough by someone passionate for the first 4 games. He helped with explaining some symbolism and I understood some before he had to explain. Which, delving down into the work Team Silent put together, kinda depresses me that I never took this game and experienced it for myself. I am sure it would have hit me in a totally different way. Nevertheless, its still a art that I was able to enjoy. I would have got pretty bummed out if I got the In Water ending on my first playthrough though.

I got a similar letter from my ex gf ... she ... passed away a few years ago, cancer took her away. We've known eath other since we were babies ... we've always considered each other soulmates. When she got sick ... she changed and became angry and irritated at everything and at me the most. After a couple of weeks she told that her family is gonna move to another city ... she even gave me a name of a different city from the one they went to ... i guess she lied because she didnt want me around her. To see her weak and pathetic. Day after day she started fading away and not answering the calls and eventually she vanished. After 2 weeks i recieved a facebook message from one of her friends ... she told be that Sophia passed away and it seems that she left a letter with your name on it (i've studied with this girl back at school so she knew who i am ) ... and yup her letter was quite similar to this one ... i come listen to this video a lot lately ... i guess it reminds me of the good old times, wishing that they come back ... but they never do.

Hey man. That's got to be one of the hardest things someone can go through in this world. It's not your fault. Even though you are a stranger behind a screen to me, I can tell you are a kind and empathetic person - it seems like you knew the root of her actions was immense pain. It also seemed like you could see how she was sort of trying to "protect" you... even if it didn't really work. And was probably just extremely hurtful. You guys were two souls with a deep connection that had something horrendous and ugly inflicted onto them. The fact that you still talk about her so gently and lovingly is beautiful. Whether you believe in Heaven or Karma or not, your actions seem filled with love and care and living your life based on those virtues can only bring the right things your way. I hope you're doing okay brother (or sister/sibling.) I hope you can find some peace.
