Two Best Friends Play Silent Hill 2 (Part 6)

Site Version - superbestfriend...
This hospital is so creepy and depressing I think I may just take a trip off the roof.

[@AkaRose]

"If I'm only better when I'm drugged, then who am I anyway?" This line hits way closer to home than I'd like to admit.

[@obblivionkr]

Dio Brando 2 years late, but I feel the same.

[@ashquestXIV]

6 years late but hard agree

[@Invalidationcoded]

You're the same person. Psychiatric drugs typically affect only a small handful of neurotransmitters in the brain or less. What people don't realize is how drastically their experience of life differs when these things are altered even a little bit, and people get used to how it was before and think "Oh but if this changes who will I be? I won't recognize myself anymore" and then don't want to take the medicine, but like those little things aren't YOU. YOU are the person who gets to live their life and make decisions about what's best for you, and if you take a medication and it changes your life for the better in ways you didn't even realize needed changing, then that's good! If it changes things for the worse, you can simply stop taking the medication after consulting with your doctor about how to do that. But yeah your little brain chemicals can have a HUGE impact on how you feel and behave and that's not necessarily the defining aspect of your personality, and people have a hard time processing how greatly these things can affect them

[@LaurenPebble]

I’m the real me. Not to get real on a 9 year old comment, but taking psychiatric medication has allowed me to be the realest version of myself and actual enjoy life to the fullest. Without I’m not the person I’m supposed to be. My illness can fuck right off, I’d rather be the real me on drugs than a shell of myself off drugs.

[@Zanmato_7]

"When silent hills comes out" oh the inhumanity. I'm watching this video way to late

[@rangecraft806]

[@Ziggylata]

Hearing them talk about PT makes me depressed.

[@bloodytea]

uhh what game is PT?

[@ButterShutterModels]

+TrevaBlues PT was a playable teaser (hence P.T.) for Silent Hills, which was in development until the geniuses at Konami cancelled it.

[@JesterTheAsura]

There's something about this playthrough that's just perfect to rewatch a lot.

[@quantras2673]

Jester GenHau ikr? I think I just really enjoy Pat explaining the more stuble parts of this game, and story's from when it was in development. it's also shocking to me that this game had all this dark, depressing shit and I played this game not long after it came out, when I was like 5-6 years old, and I had no idea what was actually happening.

I love how they talked about how good NightCry would be because of all the good horror people working on it, but when it came out over a year later it turned out to be shit.

[@daltonbecker4494]

In their defense, most great horror games have an element of shittyness too them.

[@bayonetta5883]

The most interesting thing to me with this how James got his voice. Guy Chihi was interested in the taking the part because his daughter wanted to try for Laura. He only had so much experience with drama. It's almost as if they hired him on the spot. The acting is so atrociously ornate that I wind up liking it. Also, it's interesting to see Pat go for the Water ending since the creators kind of consider it the "Bad" ending for James.

[@NARATO0]

Yea I ain't gonna spoil till the last part but i checked the endings and I think "leave" is the best one IMPO

[@bayonetta5883]

NARATO0​ It's always been leave for me. I'm very interested in seeing what Pat wants out of the Water ending. I'm guessing symbolism, drawing parallels with other anomalies in the game, but you really get a lot of that out of the game in general.

[@bayonetta5883]

***** Leave just feels right. It gives a sort of sense to me "I just experienced this. This game and the character's nightmares and all of the allegory in what he has been looking for, in my time playing as him."

[@gtaIVlord]

Guy Cihi himself said the In Water ending was the ending Team Silent put most effort on, saying it is the most fitting (and cannon) one, even though he prefers the Leave Ending. Discussions about cannonicity of endings on SH games have caused flaming fights since they were released.

[@bayonetta5883]

Marcello Domingues de Melo Lemos What a mysterious hill.

[@spartan3924]

James looks like the most badass character when you just walk into a room and shoot two monsters to death and just keep walking like he don't give a fuck

[@lemeres2478]

The lingering music after Maria gets sick seems rather appropriate. It seems like it should reflect James' unspoken anxieties since it obviously parallels Mary's illness. It makes the player feel that bit of dread in the back of their mind.

[@ohmphelgm]

I like how Pat just quietly checks what he got wrong with the keypad while Mat's busy telling his dumb story.

[@sandamfox]

Siren:blood curse would make a great full playthrough

[@NARATO0]

That game kind of had a shit ending though

[@Ominus119]

I thought I recalled them playing all the way through.

[@Fabio254]

I agree, that would make for a great playthrough.

[@Grabehn42]

Dude, if they do it I just hope they wait a bit, I mean there's like 4 parallel LP's, Matt's probably going to put Zack and the Hulk figure to do that one... Now that I think about it though...

[@daysand123]

***** I actually heard that the idea for that ending was inspired by a story where a crazy guy literally massacred an entire Japanese village with a shotgun and a katana

[@TevorTheThird]

You know you're a special kind of fucked up when watching a lets play of silent hill 2 helps distract you and calm you down from a depression-fueled breakdown

[@Levinceful]

The endings can be described as this Spoilers Leave-Best and probably cannon ending James learns from his mistakes and his wife forgives him and apologizes for the way she treated him during the final weeks of her life In The Water- James cannot over come his depression and after watching his wife die a second time he decides to end his life. Not too much of fan of this ending Maria-James doesn't really learn from his mistakes and ends up with Maria who has Mary's disease. James is destined to repeat his mistakes again. Ressurection- A didn't see that coming ending james had knowledge all along of silent hills old gods and there powers of resurrection. Dog- for lols Ufo- for lols

[@michaelelmes2135]

You forgot in water

[@sascachuhuan]

The fourth ending is called rebirth and is more like "James learns about the old gods and is on his way to summon them, kill them and revive his dead waifu"

[@djgu24]

Doesn't the creator think the water ending is the best ending for james?

[@m.o.x.d]

They're all canon, up to the player etc. I think the In Water ending is the canon ending in my mind anyway. Supposedly James disappeared in Silent Hill if you go by what's stated in SH4 about James vanishing in Silent Hill. Official novelization has the In Water ending. But personally I just enjoy the hypocrisy of how he stops Angela from offing herself and yet he kills himself anyway. Plus it fits in nicely with the morbid Japanese Horror theme of no-one lives, everyone gets punished by evil spirits before dying.

[@michaelelmes2135]

Yeah, in water was my favorite ending.

[@xZephyrFearsx]

[@Hedgpig]

Matt you may be thinking of Wind Waker; Link's eyes would track certain puzzle elements. This rather dubious design was lost on most players looking at the back of his head most of the time.

[@BulletFodder80]

I remember the instruction manual for Wind Waker pointed that out, actually. I liked the amount of detail that brings, but as you said, Link is usually facing away from the player whenever you're near something applicable enough. The only time I found it useful was, I think, during the Ghost Ship segment or something similar, where I was in a dark room having to fight those colored chirping little enemies with the tiny pitchforks. One of them kept hiding on the ceiling or something and I couldn't see it, but Link could if I turned him around.

[@fearlesstp]

[On static] Noped out of SH1 due to the static. Scared me too bad when I was 13-14 years old. It's even more effective then simply having the monster make monster noises off camera. The loud static lends the feel of closeness to a threat that's actually pretty safely far away

[@Doperwtje81]

The second Silent Hill movie is incredibly fun to watch, mostly because of how ridiculous is it. From Sean Bean and ‎Kit Harington(Jon Snow from GOT) barely trying to sound American, to the story that's either not there or gets dumped on you in expositions, to Pyramid Head basicly becoming a FF-summon that fights Carrie-Anne Moss as a rejected Cenobite. There's a scene where a character gets introduced only to be killed off by a mannequin doll head spider thing. It's hilarious to watch.

[@mastermarkus5307]

It's like, the clumsiest shit.

[@Doperwtje81]

Master Markus It totally is. It's not a good horror film, it's not a good story, it's certainly not a good Silent Hill film, but it ISan epic pile of incompetence and stupidity similar to The Room.

[@jessibarber2769]

I agree. It gets a lot of shit, but it was really fun to watch. And it definitely had some good moments. The mannequin spider sequence creeped me out. I liked the part were the prisoners were reaching through the bars & Pyramid Head comes along & chops them off with one swing of his knife, lol. I laughed through most of the movie :)

[@mastermarkus5307]

Jessi Barber That spider thing creeped you out? You mean the most fake-looking CGI thing of the decade? Come on, I get laughing at it, but I didn't get creeped out by anything in that film.

[@jessibarber2769]

Master Markus The idea of it. A mannequin & spider combo is just creepy. It was a laughable sequence overall. I liked it

[@AKAProm]

"This hospital is so creepy and depressing I think I may just take a trip off the roof." Guys, should we be worried about Pat? I'm starting to get worried about Pat.

[@JamesEvil9]

I know it's only part 6 but,this has got to be the best LP i've seen from these guys. It's a biased opinion because I love this game so much,even though I haven't played it in years but,I haven't seen an LP of this game that is so analytical in the moment to moment material and yet,they still retain the humor we all know and love. You guys are doing a great job with this one!

[@Rand00mThing]

The TBFP fanfics are overflooding with parts such as "And as the cutscene started to play Pat turns slowly to Matt. He presses his lips onto Matt's. Holding him with a passion in some sort of wrestling move that kinda locks one down. The whole cutscene long. And in Pat's mind it shall never end. He does not care how much Matt fights back. He only puts more force into it with his small baby hands."

[@floridaman7400]

PT decides if you can get the ending right when it starts up. Just like Silent Hills.

[@pariasapenumbra5117]

23:57 amnesia: the dark descent had combining items (drill parts, hammer/chisel, explosive, etc) and is relatively recent

[@zanzibarbreeze6853]

[@MrFivefivefivesix]

[@HayabusaZero]

God damn that iron lung noise really helps show how genius the sound design is in this game and the other Team Silent games.

[@DrShaym]

Why didn't James' radio start making static noises when Pyramid Head sneaked up on him?

Same reason it doesn't make noise when Maria's around, they're both just in James's head.

[@AussieDragoon]

Speaking of people who work on Silent Hill, I find it interesting that the director of SH1 and the Siren series (Keiichiro Toyama) went on to create Gravity Rush/Daze.

[@turbochomp]

[@PlumPoko]

I really hope you guys do a playthrough of SH1, you are the only ones I trust who can respectfully play the game without (intentionally) yelping like an asshat at the slightest things and aren't painfully incompetent at the game.

[@SurikenJoe]

Wind Waker is a great example of head-tracking too, it's also sold by how huge Link's noggin is and how dumfounded he can look sometimes by looking at pots.

[@KalEllle]

I love just listening to you guys talking about the game and some of the theories behind it. I would love it if you played all of them... Not super realistic wish, but hey, I can dream. lol

[@TheDirector999]

The noise filter also does a really good job hiding the lack of anti-aliasing. Like in that one bright room, as soon as James just kind of turned then suddenly every texture gets way sharper and it's hella gross...

[@snakepiissken5889]

REJOICE MY BROTHERS! THERE IS NO LIAM IN THIS PLAYTHROUGH.

[@NetherStray]

The idea of "Team Silent" has always been pretty ambiguous. I think the only person who's been a member through all four first games is Akira Yamaoka, the sound designer and composer.

[@OwlEye2010]

15:44 So *that's* where Akira Toriyama came up with Android 17 and 18's real names. x3

[@WhatPayneVids]

The original Silent Hill(s) always has this really interesting design where every room you go in feel like it's important area, even when there's nothing important in there. And it makes the entire game feel much more visceral and wholesome. That's something that has been lost on the later SH games, unfortunately.

[@chr0niteplays59]

In Wind Waker, Link would look at points of interest like grappling-hook spots and such which was pretty neat!

[@chicktapus463]

what i have an issue with when it comes to the static is that you know exactly when you're safe. i find it MUCH creepier whenever you don't know that the threat is gone as opposed to having a noise that says, "okay the monsters are gone don't worry"

[@alexf8314]

The thing is i would feel that way aswell if it was just a typical horror game where all the scares come from the enemies and fighting them... but Silent Hill is just so much more than that. Its the storyline, the subtleties and the atmosphere of the game that really make this game so great and the fact that you know when you're in an area where there is no need for combat actually assists in being able to properly experience and really enjoy exactly what makes Silent Hill 2 so outstanding.

[@finowa]

Alex F, yep. Exactly. You get it.

[@andrewmceachren]

Grim Fandango had headtracking, not that is was a survival horror. Always appreciated.

[@BrokenAchievements]

I really love the framing of this LP with the rusty sides, lol

[@hole2score]

What I find impressive in a technical aspect in this game is that it has dynamic shadows! That just blows my mind.

[@aerozord]

I seem to remember in Wind Waker Link would often look towards items and puzzle triggers

[@MadamFoogie]

Does anyone else think the key in the drainpipe looks like an ear? Every single time I see it, that's all I can think of. Loving this playthrough. Two of my favorite games, Silent Hill 2 and Parasite Eve! What a great month to hang out with the zaibatsu.

[@HyperCharge]

The Wind Waker does a lot of that head tracking stuff as well

[@johnkramer2144]

Things that I've come to expect in the Best Friend's Zaibatsu's comment section: A comment from Dio's Scary Monster AND THE WORLD, Captain Thunder Wolf or ShooterBoy. People talking about the Woolie Hole Salty as fuck bitches shouting "When's Mahvel?"

[@Tamacat388]

[@Grabehn42]

You forgot "Woolie is black" though.

[@AcheroniD]

This is currently my favorite part of the internet

[@C24U_]

The game Matt is thinking of is probably Fatal Frame. Though the one problem with head tracking in that game was the lack of "area zones" and that you would head track an item or point of interest for something that wasnt even in the same room as yourself

[@C24U_]

***** Yeah, the most obvious one I can remember is the hallway that has all the mask doors in it. Miku would look all over the place because that hall was squeezed between a lot of different rooms. But yeah there were definitely times she would just look at the ceiling for no reason.

[@KoyaMusa]

Yeah, the Fatal Frame series does do that. I recently went through FF 3 and experienced that. Weirdly enough, objects still shine in that game along with the head tracking. Also fuck the Rope Shrine ghost, holy fucking shit.

[@Tamacat388]

Resident Evil does it too. But because of the camera its not as pronounced as it is here. Thats the only other instance I can think of. I don't play too many horror games.

[@Sianostrakarenrenren]

"There is no guaranteed solution." Wrong actually, the ten steps, stand still, say "Jareth" method always works.

[@stubbyharbinger5566]

This game is crazy amazing and looks so fuckin good. I'll probably never play it but listening to calm Pat deductive tones while he plays it is the next best thing.

[@LovelessDogg1]

Alchemilla Hospital is the main hospital for the town and Brookhaven IS the Psychiatric Hospital, HOWEVER, it’s first floor is used for general treatment as well. It’s not uncommon at all for psychiatric wards to do that. My town has 6 general clinics, 2 main hospitals, and 2 mental hospitals

[@HeroSword_P]

21:00 They should have mentioned that this combination is randomized with every playthrough to the point where the numbers on the bloody wall change as well, it's not a static image.

[@horrorvictim]

Personally, SH3 is my favorite in the series. SH1 still manages to actually scare me, SH2 feels like an art film that I like but doesn't resonate with me as much as the other two titles I just mentioned. I understand why it would be the favorite for most, but I feel a little sad that the other titles by Team Silent doesn't get just as much love. I'm frustrated that when the hands went to a western company they concentrated way too much on trying to replicate what they THOUGHT SH2 was about; like I said, SH2 is like an artistic film I like and just like Hollywood they took an art film, for example Der Himmel über Berlin and turned it into City of Angels...with Nicholas Cage....yeah, fuck you Tom Hulett.

[@smokingpixel]

Loving this play through. Wouldn't mind seeing SH3 done too.

[@yoursonisold8743]

"The bed is comfy *wink wink nudge nudge*" I am surprised Pat didn't mention the implications there.

[@ItchySlothz]

I think the reason Laura is doing so well for herself is the fact that she's a child, and hasn't "sinned" in her previous life like the other characters have. She therefore has no monsters that could be modeled after her life mistakes. I'd say she's there solely to "help" James realize what he's done, but Eddie sees her as well.

[@NoiseOneTTV]

On PT: I was one of the first streamers who had the formula down to a T, within a few days. Definitely not random. Me and a few others even speedran it enough to hold the record at least once. I’m sure you guys already know, since it’s 2018. But I just wanted to drop my two-cents. Good series though. Loving it!

[@suace251]

I think the worst fear is the fear of the unknown. Imagine playing silent hills and it being different every time. That is horror.

Matt, you're right about the headtracking in Zelda, its a feature in Wind Waker that, if I'm remembering correctly, the player is also not informed about. Link will look at traps or important areas so you can check to find out what to do next if you're stuck in a dungeon or something.

[@mariecarie1]

Hoy crap... I'd never thought about the implications of finding that diary on the roof... 😨 I love this walkthrough.

[@theosb7271]

That bit of music matt was freaking out about was hype. I would have switched to the pipe just so I could beat someone down to that.

[@ladamedesaraignees1764]

What I like about the static is that it usually shows up in the horror genre because there's a ghost around, and it presents the idea the ghost is everywhere/materializing from around you. But in Silent Hill, it's coming from the fact that there's an abomination of nature around, just emanating creepy bullshit.

[@m1kel0n]

I think one of the first games that did the head-tracking thing was Grim Fandango. Although, Matt might be talking about Fatal Frame.

[@decus478]

Matt was thinking of Wind Waker. Link's big, dumb cat-eyes looks at everything like that.

[@hgkuttftftcfttghtghg]

17.00 This feels like a "I've only ever seen this word written down" moment.

[@DaSkyBoss]

Aww man, Matt. I'll never forget the time Woolie the Bully knocked over my crib.

[@cillycakes]

If i'm not mistaken the "head turning" mechanic was also utilized in Resi 2. I remember that key items sparkled, but I vaguely remember them turning their heads to look at things too.

[@LinkAlmightyCDC]

Matt, you're actually right about item/head tracking in Zelda. In Wind Waker, Link's eyes would look in the direction of something of interest. I think they might have had Link turn his head in later games as well, but I'm not sure about that.

[@YoungsterJoey1]

This is my favorite playthrough from the Golden Age of the Zaibatsu so far. I looked up the endings for Silent Hill 2 which lead me to P.T.. I have no real first-hand interactions with the Silent Hill series besides playing the first 2 hours of 1 and 3 - so people who know about Silent Hill: How Un/Hyped are you about Kojima and Del Toro sloshing their dicks in the Silent Hill Hole?

[@NARATO0]

Considering del Toro did PL which was a freaky damn movie image what del Toro can do with the fucked up shit in silent hill + he and kojima consider the series a masterpiece

[@Xandy743]

If this is the Golden Age arc, does that mean Pat will sacrifice the rest of the Zaibatsu at the end in order to attain normal people height/hair/more crack?

[@slifer875]

they are the last hope for this franchise

[@gtaIVlord]

*Cautiously looking foward to it*. Kojima did a great job with P.T. and he's a great producer/director (I like MGS almost as much as SH), but some of his decisions worry me. Using Norman Reedus likeness, or any famous actor's, for a Silent Hill game feels very off, and trying to bring Silent Hill to broader audiences didn't bring many "good" results. Also, the Concept Trailer, as great as it was, seemed to dense in its horror, feeling kind of like a Halloween haunted house. Guillermo is a good creature designer, but his designs don't fit very well the aesthetics of Silent Hill. We'll have to wait and see. Unless Junji Ito is actually involved, which would be *amazing*. I still want to see how it is going to be like, and don't think it will be bad at all. It _may_ not be great as the original Silent Hill games, but, well, _nothing is, really_. At the very least, it is going to be *much* better than anything we've had recently and, probably, an amazing horror game. I'd like if members of Team Silent like Hiroyuki Owaku, Masahiro Ito, Akira Yamaoka, Takayoshi Sato and even Keiichiro Toyama were somehow involved in it, though. even if just for overseeing the project and giving advice.

[@benpasko]

***** Pat is obviously Caska, Liam is Griffith. He'll sacrifice the rest of the 'batsu to attain control over the masses, to revive the Vita.

[@captainhaggard7030]

"I'd be really bummed if the actual game was like that." - Matt on PT This sums up how I've felt about this demo from day one. Spoopie or not spoopie, it wasn't Silent Hill, or even much of a game.

[@mastermarkus5307]

I get what they were trying to do with it, but once you _know_ "Oh my god, new Silent Hill game" it doesn't really have any "magic" to it.

[@bigshrimpin69420]

I think P.T. was made to kind of introduce the story with the things you hear on the radio and show off what the game will look like, while also kinda giving you a sense of how the game will be scary, more than just throwing it out there as just what the game will be. If Silent Hills is going for more of an atmosphere thing instead of monsters everywhere, like some of the more recent ones, as the trailer suggests, I think it could be one of the best Silent Hill games.

[@kraajkase]

But it was never, EVER meant to be a real game!! It's a common misconception that a lot of people seem to have.

[@darrelsam419]

Thankfully it likely isn't. It's just a demo to showcase the graphics, so I've read. So no worries.

[@TakaChan569]

They already said PT has nothing to do with Silent Hills how is it people still don't get that lol

[@ryansinn628]

Why do I have to wait so long for this?

[@N1netbattler]

Link always looked at stuff in Wind Waker and I'd be like "what's he looking at" and it'd be nothing

[@shadowruler7]

The worst thing is when, you not being at fault, say excuse me before moving past someone, and they proceed to tell you, "you're fine".

[@avatarkai4947]

The Forbiden Siren series was created by the same creator of Silent Hill. Keiichiro Toyama, who wrote the story for SH 1. After that he left the game and handle the script in the hands of Hiroyuki Owaku for SH 2 and 3.
