Silent Hill 2 is the perfect game when it comes to depression. The game is comforting in it's overwhelming sadness and decay, you can lose your thoughts in this emotionally draining experience, and it's therapeutic in a way. I have yet to complete this game without tearing up at the end voice over. This song encompasses nostalgia, sadness, hopefulness, and even dread, and in my opinion is the greatest video game song of all time

This comment really brings me back. Granted, I was 14 when I played it, and it was my younger brother who introduced me to the games.

A good horror game doesen't really hafto be scary in my opinion. I was never really afraid in SH2 but the atmosphear and story was so excellent i would easily consider it the best horror game ever made. In terms of scary i have played worse, but everything els sort of lacked. I love RE4 and RE2 remake but they are more towards survivor horror. A good horror game can be so many different things but scary.

The SH2 OST is without a doubt, THE best survival horror game soundrack ever produced. Akira Yamaoka is a musical genius.

[@Stigmatix666]

Incidentally, SH2 is THE best survival horror game ever created

[@MakeaChangeKillYourself]

No, Silent Hill 2 is the BEST game ever created.

[@MovedbyTruth]

That's a very difficult statement to argue. Very few games out there have reached the level of perfection that SH2 did. Everything just seemed to work to create that perfect Silent Hill atmosphere that true fans long for to continue. I don't see that level of quality in a SH game ever happening again. Every game in the series that came after it got worse in succession. I'm sure we all got our hopes up with Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills just to have our hearts ripped out when it was cancelled.

[@Stigmatix666]

Was Silent Hills ever gonna be released though? You may very well argue that P.T. was Kojima's way of saying fuck you to Konami.. "Dad was such a drag. Every day he'd eat the same kind of food, dress the same, sit in front of the same kind of games... Yeah, he was just that kind of guy. But then one day, he goes and kills us all! He couldn't even be original about the way he did it. I'm not complaining... I was dying of boredom anyway, But guess what? I will be coming back, and I'm bringing my new toys with me." Replace the word "dad" with Konami and replace the words "kill us" with fire us... See where I'm going with this?

[@MovedbyTruth]

True, it definitely seems like he was referencing Konami there. As far as it not supposed to have ever been made, who knows. While it does seem that way, he very well could've been planning to make it but once everything with Konami started going down decided to just make P.T. instead. Like knowing he got SH fans hopes up and wanted to at least give them something before his departure. Then he could've added in those metaphoric story elements as a way to explain to fans what happened in a very secretive way that Konami wouldn't notice at the time. Just a thought. If it was ever to be created I bet it would've been a masterpiece. I mean the playable teaser was already a masterpiece in it's own right. One of the greatest demos of all time imo. I'm definitely glad I still have it on my PS4. I doubt I'll ever get rid of that system.

From a French fan who made the initial trilogy day one for each opus, who instantly fell in love for the games themselves and for their OST (and for their composer!), I just want to say Amen! Godly gifted Yamaoka made something truly authentic with his music, I don't cry easily, from joy or sorrow, excepted between a few ones artists (all musicians) while listening a Silent Hill OST; while listening to Akira Yamaoka's pieces of art. The first game being about a father looking for his child, this month of April 2024 sign the third year after the child I am lost his father. Listening to SH OST reminds the times when, while playing it, he was still among us. Since then I lost him, more than ever, a song like Waiting for You or Hell Frozen Rain makes rivers flowing on my cheeks. Even just thinking about these songs (and other ones) while typing this makes me feeling tears inside rising, trying to flow again.

Pyramid head represents different things, as different monsters are different punishments or executioners for the many people who commit sins or sorrows.

They could have made up a new monster to take the place of 'boogyman' in Homecoming and still have the role. That's why I like how in SH3 they put in Valtiel. And I give props to Downpour for their version of 'boogyman'. He looked so badass with his Hammer, raincoat, and gas mask. So the Butcher in SHO and 'boogyman' in Homecoming are copies of Pyramid Head and it was a little upsetting. whatalongpost-_-

[@MortyScheinhorn]

This song reminds me that Silent Hill while scary, just as a lot of games these days are, is also quite moving emotionally. One of the first things you hear in this game is the sweet voiced Mary reading her letter to James. And in Silent Hill 1 you can see the joy oozing out of Harry when he's with his daughter in the car at the very beginning. And they don't blatantly say it in an string of overwritten dialogue, instead it's very subtle. They don't even need words, they just glance at each other and you can tell there's that love between them. Even Heather, who's a total bitch for most of the game shows her softer side on the phone with Harry right near the beginning. That bit of tenderness makes you instantly feel for these characters and makes them seem real. Silent Hill is NOT just about uncovering the mystery of what's happening or fighting scary monsters that have all this DEEP psychological significance. That's just the cherry on top. What really kept you stepping into the darkness and fighting through the fear is the slowly fading hope that these people will be reunited. The first games were an emotional journey because you end up loving the characters. You love Harry because he'll do absolutely anything for his daughter, even when she's not really his daughter. You love James because he's emotionally vulnerable, but pulls himself together in the end even though he's lost everything. And you love Heather because when she acts like a bitch, you know she's just masking her fear and sadness over her past. They're each complex and realistic in a unique way, and those are only the main characters, never mind the game's fantastic supporting casts. In my opinion the ability to be invested in the character's stories through the way they are told is what the newer games really missed, and what it really takes to make a good Silent Hill game. The fact that it's not just a grimdark void of chainsaws and zombies is exactly what makes it special.

Back when horror games were actually a psychological mind fuck... Damn this is so dark and depressive, Im more of a Resident Evil fan, but being honest, Silent Hill is way more original and dark... A true horror game. Not silly and crappy jumpscares, but an actual dark story about a missing love in a dark place full of monsters. I think this game is what depressive people live trought, and the monsters world is what you get if you commit suicide... Yes, i told you, very dark. Good thing i played this game for the first time now in 2016 (im 24) and not in 2001 when i was kid, because i would have had serious nightmares and problems... This is an adults game.

"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."

This game and it's OST hits harder when You actually experienced taking care of terminally ill family member, loved one. My grandfather within last 2 months (due to prostate cancer) started to lose consciousness, stopped to walk. Cancer combined with the stroke he had few years ago + pills he is forced to take started to mix up his mind and memory. I couldn't understand James that well when I played the game for the very first time but now.. I can.. and it's not something that You can be happy about. I wanted my grandpa at least to see my kids but now I understand that he never will. He was a father figure to me, somebody I could always rely on, strong, hard working, independent and proud men. When I see what he changed into.. shell of his former self that needs help 24/7.. A wicked parody of a guy he once was, but still clinging to this life of vegetation with crazy stubbornness.. I can't help it but I just can't look at him without mixed feelings. On one hand grief on the other disdain.. yet it's not even his fault, that's just how his "cards" were played out by God, fate, fortuity or whatever You want to call it.. It pains to take care of him, it pains to listen to him, it pains to watch him suffer, slowly dying.. It pains to know that my grandma (she barely walks herself) and my dad are trying to take care of him thinking that maybe he will get better. I'm trying to help then whenever I can but it's not always possible (my own home, job duties). And yes, I had that thought that maybe fast death wouldn't be a bad option, my grandpa wouldn't have to suffer and so my dad and grandma.. Silent Hill 2 is not a mere game, it's partial experience of something that I don't wish to anybody.
