Two Best Friends Play Silent Hill Homecoming (Part 6)

[@PlagueOfGripes]

My first impression from seeing part 1 was that the game was about things being split in two. But dead children also, sure.

[@thelaughingrouge]

PlagueOfGripes That would be intelligent and a good use of foreshadowing and cinematic theming, so of course that's not it.

[@LeonAndMandar]

This marks the moment this went from "Look at this shitty Silent Hill game." to "Look at Matt's sick knife combos for like 10 videos."

[@perkyoranges250]

His knife combos really are sick, tho

[@tartakan593]

Tyrone Bignell 3sick5me

[@law5121]

while James was searching for his wife. Heather was studying the blade. Alex was already a master of the knife!

[@bitwawesome8020]

Romance girl

[@meleemastermaa1449]

I can't wait for the new Silent Hill game, with Air Combos, Juggle and Jump Cancels.

[@dylanhayden4066]

MeleeMaster MAA what about wavedash?

[@Texan_Patriot]

Air dash!

[@kilgorealex]

matt's voice is adorable. "what do i do? the guys doing sick combos!"

[@TheHolySemiColon]

Honestly, having Deputy SHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET around ruins the sense of being alone, but this game's tone is all kinds of messed up anyway, so it's just nice to have a nice guy around to make you feel like you're in a buddy cop movie. He's the best character in the game.

[@IbeCosmic]

Yeah black people weren't allowed to have those jobs until at least the 80s

[@BreadandFaxes]

+Abe you would know, since you fought for Black Freedom and all.

[@CrazyPangolinLady]

I think for a lot of these the (technically) poorer graphics of the previous games made the monster designs scarier, as you never really got a good look at them. The "just what am I looking at?" factor of the monsters made them all the creepier. It doesn't help that these designs are uninspired anyway.

[@Toffeehammer]

Yeah, you're kinda right. I guess the lying figure in SH2 was basically just an amorphous mass of textures vaguely shaped like a person but when you compare it to "HEY THIS MONSTER REPRESENTS CHILDBIRTH LOL" it's still much scarier.

[@DarkLordFluffee]

***** no to mention the movement on creatures like the lying figure was more suggestive and unsettling. childbirth monster just sort of crawls at you, the dogs run like normal dogs with no strange variation, smogs i would say are the only ones that move in any unsettling way but they're basically lying figures so it doesn't count. the nurses are also okay but they almost seem to be trying way to hard to be scary.

[@AydarBMSTU]

CrazyPangolinLady eh? SH2 and SH3 look better than this garbage

[@NormalLee67]

+AydarBMSTU Hence the "(technically)" portion of the comment- older generation of graphics, but they still hold up infinitely better than this trash.

[@BreadandFaxes]

There's a clear difference between truly grotesquely disfigured enemies and bad texture and enemy design. And unfortunately the best example is Silent Hill 2. Silent Hill 2 actually put a lot of their graphical budget into the monsters. The thing about the SH2 monsters is that they may have human form somewhat, but they're not really meant to be something that is looked at in great detail, but they still look really good and you can tell what they're going for. In this game the enemies are being lit by a whole different source, as if they're items, and they just don't look good, and are uninspired. I just can't understand how huge of a drop off in quality these games seem to accomplish. It's as if the developers of these games didn't play the previous titles at all. They're not subtle at all. I know Silent Hill 1 wasn't really, but c'mon. They really need to take the winning formula and stick with it. Innovate on what they created. Don't just scrap it and make it uninspired and bland

[@Notsobuscus]

They're the hero Silent Hill deserves, and TOTALLY the one it needs right now.

[@DrShaym]

He falls, like, fifty feet and doesn't get hurt.

[@35november]

Doesn't that happen in both Silent Hill 2 and 3?

Those achievements are bullshit (name wise)

[@InugamiTheHound]

you're smart you have save right between the end(and ending decisions) and you play that to get all the endings. The good ending(get all drawings and photos) gives a extra scene at the end where somehow Josh is still alive and takes a picture of Alex in the bedroom. Elie is alive and you can save wheeler the black guy

[@doublebassman123]

DamuEmran oh yeah, you're​ right. god that was a long time ago I made that comment. I think I was still in high school.

[@anthonygonzalez9268]

One of my favorite tbfp moments is when Pat says "AVGN is doing God's work with that shitty games. He's a good guy."

[@HayabusaTaichou]

Don't liken this to Zelda, Zelda does spooky scary way better than this.

[@SanjiTyloxion]

HayabusaTaichou Just look at deadhand. Tru survival horror

[@WTK55]

[@HayabusaTaichou]

[@IbeCosmic]

+HayabusaTaichou skull video disregards context or expectations

[@WTK55]

Abe Meh :P

[@manabluerose]

"Shiiiiiiiet" holycrap, who wrote this garbage dialogue??

[@JesterNil]

The song Matt was singing, about Simon and his drawings, I believe, I'm not 100% certain on this, but I believe, it was a Mike Meyers SNL sketch from way back when. If so, kudos.

[@ghostamy100000]

I read somewhere that Elle's design is from an original model for Heather (Silent Hill 3). Now that makes me say that they were too lazy to make thier own design.

[@BreadandFaxes]

ghostamy100000 it was scrapped for a reason. The model looks terrible. They should have left it in the trash.

[@Cathcritt]

God, the facial animation is *horrendous*. Just compare this to the birthing scene of Silent Hill 3. I mean fuck.

[@LittleMountain90]

Now now, it's not that bad. You can trust my opinion. Would this monster-face lie to you? Seriously, what the hell with the faces?

[@EmpressTiffanyOfBrittany]

LittleMountain90 Through the power of NEXT GEN, we have created what the players wanted: horrendous face models that are way better than prior face models except they're not. We care about what our stupid customers think.

[@Timeshiftlol]

"I'M CONGRATULATING YOU!! Get fucking self esteem!" Angriest Pat makes my day.

[@UncleErkle]

No going to lie, but you guys help me get through my day. Seeing a new video once a day is pretty awesome, thanks (:

[@himbo_noa]

"YOU ARE DOING IT GOOD. I AM CONGRATULATING YOU" the best motivational speaker

[@mrspidey80]

"Who would actually write sonofabitch like word?" J.D. Salinger in "Catcher in the Rye"...from the top of my head.

[@bplup6419]

Why would you point your gun at a guy behind bars?

[@BreadandFaxes]

Assertion of dominance.

[@TheStrikeofGod]

Because terror

[@Demonstray]

Can we just get real for a second about how Alex DROPPED HIS FIRE AXE when he fainted? MATT, YOUR TRUE CALLING IS UPON YOU.

[@spartandumpster1158]

I don't remember enemies walking into walls too oddly in the top down Resident Evils! But it happened often in RE4, but in that game it's more like "Thank god, I have a second to be away from some enemies!" In this you're baiting them so it's like "GET THE FUCK OVER HERE ALREADY!"

[@jugemujugemu4690]

There's no such thing as a top down RE. Do you mean the fixed camera angles because what you said is entirely different.

[@spartandumpster1158]

I did mean fixed... The old ones where the hardware was the excuse.

[@TheFreelancer2236]

That, sir, has got to be the greatest analogy I've ever heard in my life. 1000 points to you.

[@matttillenburg5644]

7:11 Follow the spiders, Harry...

[@lilpotayto]

Not only that but the consistent quality of these play-throughs never drops. It's solid video after solid video. And, considering these are uploaded mostly unedited, that's quite an achievement.

[@theraven268]

im just gonna come right out and say it, either stop using ammo limits or rip off RE4's inventory system.

[@TokyoKazama]

I love it when Pat says 'Dum Dums' and 'Piggies'. SO you're not alone in the weird department.

[@thelaughingrouge]

You know a games sound is bad when the guys on their old mic setup sound better then the cut scene dialogue.

[@NinjapowerMS]

I fell of my chair when Matt just went "AWOWOWOWOWOWOWO" at the end. The guy's mind is so random its hilarious.

[@RF9431]

8:57 Because you never know when you'll need a double-sided painting.

[@JyujinPlus]

That IS a Zelda boss. Not just because you use Zelda-like tactics to defeat him, but I played the OOT boss music over this fight for laughs and he died right as the music ended. Even the boss cleared music fits perfectly with his death animation.

[@DaTrixie]

GIMMIE BACK MY SON!!!!

[@FreedomHero4]

Mr.Neil Thompson GIVE ME THE MONEY!!!

[@ianduarte1992]

FreedomHero4 give me back my son made of diamonds!

[@YoungsterJoey1]

I like how they point out every flaw and offer a solution to these flaws. And their solutions are valid and optimal choices. Developers should take note from these two guys. But not Woolie - nothing Woolie says is noteworthy.

[@Toffeehammer]

What is it with Silent Hill's recent fondness for stories about dead kids? Homecoming was about Alex's little brother being dead (spoiler warning by the way). Downpour was about Murphy's son being dead and, from the playable teaser, it looks like Silent Hills is going to be about some kind of messed up pregnancy. I mean, I guess I get it? Stories about kids getting killed and pregnancies going wrong are scary but they're also pretty overdone. Dead kids just seems to be this thing horror falls back on when it wants to be really unsettling and can't think of anything else. It seems like kind of a cheap way to yank the player's heart strings is all.

[@Skeletonpack]

When you finish PT, it actually says something along the lines of, "This is only a playable teaser. It has no relation to the final game."

[@SuperLordGaming]

PT is just a little thing. It's gonna be completely different.

[@YouSoSpice]

Turning "Rosemary's Baby" into a game ain't easy.

[@Azzabackam]

To be fair, despite how overdone it is, a certain few things HAVE done it well.

[@ChipIzumi]

***** With that theme in mind, I guess you could say Silent Hills got . . . aborted

[@AGrayPhantom]

I actually like Deputy Wheeler. He's the most sensible person I've seen in a horror game. "Dude, did you see those crazy monsters?! This place is jacked! We should stick together, and not split up, and figure out what's going on! Don't worry, I got this shotgun. Seems to work."

[@ThejollyFrenchman]

You don't know when this came out in relation to Assault on Precinct 13? The John Carpenter film? That movie came out in the seventies! It had been around for decades when this game was released? What is going on? Why did this channel have to die!?! *sighs* I miss you guys...

[@KEC2]

Can I just say how much I love the title card you all made for this one? Beautiful.

[@demonkingt]

basic knife combo + a one second charge on heavy is a badass combo actually xD

[@trouty606]

It's really uncanny how much Matt's childhood mirrored my own. I get just about every single reference he tosses in, like old SNL sketches and shit.

[@lemeres2478]

The use of aggro and pulling in resident evil.... I SMELL A SILENT HILL MMO COMING TO THE MOBILE MARKET EXPERIENCES THE SUBTLE HORROR OF NOT GETTING THAT RARE DROP!

[@EternalTheFoxy]

Watching Matt & Pat play games always makes my day 100% better. :>

[@KolTheKobold]

SHiiiiet Captan

[@BreadandFaxes]

I don't know about da pacifics

[@Trofusky]

I can't wait to see Matt's reaction to seeing Asphyxia. Holy ballcrust that scared hell out of me when I first saw it.

[@keystrix3704]

I remember the jail part being a stupid jump in difficulty. Between it an the booooring sewer level after is the point when I first started truly hating this game.

[@jonjevon]

I love how Pat doesn't even care enough about this game to pretend he doesn't know whats going on

[@GrassSaint33]

Still waiting for that Shenmue LP :(

[@AydarBMSTU]

WaiWai it will come out as soon as Shenmue 3 is released

[@FreedomHero4]

AydarBMSTU Which will be soon

[@mickeyfester]

I'm from the future. It's not happening. Still waiting on shenmue 3 as well

[@TheDragon718]

Every time I watch one of these home coming videos, I fall asleep, but I keep watching them because you guys have some problems!!! LoL.

[@kristoferkeck391]

Watching this in 2014 because my family is no fun on New Years

[@LumendeLumen]

The words inbetween the crest are supposed to be the Barlett and Shepards families. I have to admit, for the developers to make that symbol is pretty goddamn awesome.

[@callahaine100]

Ha, I knew the knife was better!

[@nubcakes1000]

I love it when you and people around you when playing a game, just make up names for them

[@HisNameWasCrazy]

25:17 - STREET SHAAARKS!!!

[@furygeist]

Look at the pure emotion on those faces. So good. So good.

[@DaTrixie]

GIMMIE BACK MY SON!

[@nihilist_wolf]

When the deputy hands the main character the shotgun. I thought, "no way is he going to pull a pistol out of that empty gun holster on his hip" and 2 seconds later, he pulls a revolver out of that empty holster on his hip. That's when I face palmed.

[@redzeppelin6]

Condemned 1 was good.

[@ScytheOfMadness]

Everything you guys make is gold

[@joesmoe3252]

Shiiiiiiiit!

[@justinrycaj6564]

You guys should have fewer episodes but longer ones. It's my favorite show of the day.

[@scotshabalam2432]

I hate ammo limits, it makes no sense. Most games use a model of a big box of ammo that looks like they are holding 48+ bullets but it's just like nine where the guy only seems to _want_ to carry like 20 bullets which makes even less sense because a person should figure in survival situation with monsters bullets are the most important thing to have even if they had to carry a bag and drop it while fighting, it's just stupid and should have died with the Resident Evil franchise that pioneered restrictive ammo limits in a horror game.

[@hentis100]

scot shabalam Certain games can do it right though, mostly Res4 and Dead Space 1. (Hey, technically it's a limit. How good are you at cramming ammo into your attache case?) Inventory management is ok I to me, but not obscenely low arbitrary limits like in this game.

[@jugemujugemu4690]

The part that makes it survival horror is that it restricts things like ammo. Don't liken it to some generic shooter.

[@pogogo51]

+Nagato Uzumaki Yeah, but Silent Hill 1/2/3 didn't have ammo limits, and they were scary as shit. Besides, 27 bullets is a fucking stupid ammo limit. Alex was in the military.

[@BreadandFaxes]

+pogogo51 I can carry at least 6 magazines on my person that contain 12 rounds each.

[@nathaneskin3572]

+Dweebenheim Plus, look how many pockets he has in that jacket!

[@TheBrahma51]

WHOA WHOA WHOA, "Rotating Saves?" That sure sounds fancy!

[@jordangoodeye8826]

This game is so bad.

[@HarpsiFizz]

For real, especially since my days are filled with learning how to become a funeral director. Mama Matt and Papa Pat's dark humor kinda throw stuff into perspective.

[@baneh1329]

Im watching this right after they got to the part in silent hill 3 explaining the save point symbol, it took awhile but they finally made it

[@1shoryuken]

Ailens in Silent Hill is a running gag throughout the series, its because in the middle of SH1's development, the devs where pooling ideas for what caused the evil in the town and some dev said aliens.

[@Khotgor]

When I think of enemy names, I remember all of the nicknames that I gave to the Necromorphs that did not match the wiki/said names of the game. The Infectors I use to call Skinbats The Leapers I use to call Scorpions The Lurkers I use to call... well, babies ... and the Dividers I use to call radical

[@peachylego]

Watching you guys play is so much more fun than when I play lol

[@fungusbrain1martin]

That last part actually looked like it had the potential to be really good! Then the "You got a 12-gauge" screen appeared and, as Pat said, killed the tension! It just pains me that they were so close!

[@Th3SmartAlec]

22:05 Yep. that's how conversations go. They just KNOW EVERYTHING.

[@TheLucasisGreat]

Oh man, matt's Takenouchi voice is spot on. Please keep quoting Cromartie, Matt.

[@JulOyt]

"TBF: Giving life to games that are dead."

[@jojjo223]

You guys and Markeplier are my two favourite let's play people. Keep up the fucking funny work!

[@CrimsonPhoenixBen]

Been waiting for this all day. Need something to lighten the mood after that new SnK.

[@KisaragiZeet]

Fatal Frame is a pretty good horror series that hasnt gotten crappy over time

[@FreedomHero4]

"The Devil that did not pay much rent" I love Tour Guide Nixon

[@Sprech41]

Though I will give the game credit where credit is due. The fact that each of the bosses are designed around how each of the children died is pretty cool.

[@chronicleone]

That save game symbol signifies the Silent Hill Bowling team.

[@GoldRaptor00]

When he fell through that hole in the floor, he could have just shoved his knife in one of the floorboards and clung to it for dear life.

[@buttonsomalley3420]

I'm so glad you guys are playing this, cause I'm sure as hell not gonna.

[@MCPhatman]

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO A PLAYTHROUGH OF SHENMUE (1)!!!! Those grumps didn't even go over 2 episodes and I enjoy your playthroughs WAY better since you actualy talk about the game

[@snakeplisskenSG]

"Beavis and Butthead do Silent Hill"- A game that would redeem the Silent Hill Franchise.

[@OYPanimations]

The symbol is called Halo of the Sun. The Halo of the Sun is an important recurring image throughout the series. It is the main symbol of the Order, the religious group behind much of the strangeness of Silent Hill.

[@RentsRants]

Their last save is on my birthday AND almost the same time as my birth, awesome.

[@srusty56]

Looking back now, the Joey boss looks a lot like a Mournghoul from Total Warhammer

[@KingRumar]

When it comes to Silent Hill, it's really a hit or miss with these creatures.

[@Triadan2010]

Not sure if this was said before but: The save symbol is The Halo Of The Sun, it IS a symbol of the cult of Valtiel, it symbolises returns and how things will come back to their beginnings. Hence in 3 Heather has to return to Silent Hill where she is from, and in Homecoming.. well yeah, obviously.

[@CharlieMurphyPendelt]

18:03 LOL nice kick flip Alex, "he must be made of Vibranium too, 500 million dollars well spent in the Army"

[@Slotzki]

i know its weird but i love it when matt says "drawrings".

[@FavoriteKarma]

When pat said about at around 22 minutes in, it sounded very Canadian... I love it.

[@Rosupi]

Finally! Glad to see the knife in use!

[@jjj7790]

This is making me want to watch Noisy Hill Homecoming again.

[@RushandSNLfan]

Reminds me that we all need to pressure Matt and Pat to play Dark Souls as one of their 2+ playthroughs after this and Deadly Premonition every day.

[@TheHoganman95]

I love how a guy who was in the army, couldn't pull himself up a ledge.

[@TheSethcast]

Pat is my favorite person on the internet. #1. Matt is a close 6th.

[@world079]

Even when the game can't throw weapons matt finds a way to throw the axe

[@imnotabotiswear3276]

The nurse is the reson the term " but hurt" was invented.(or woolie reacting to his destroyed hulk doll)

[@Underchiever007]

Matt is pretty much the epitome of human evolution up to this point.

[@tomhchamp]

I think The Last if Us's Clicker combat is gonna be some intense survival horror action-ness :) I'm pretty damn hyped

[@William_Sk]

The last two minutes of this was actually pretty cool in my opinion.
