[Vinesauce] Vinny - Silent Hill 3 (PART 1)

[@Duskaria]

Imagine if Vinny had set puzzle difficulty to Hard. "Alright, hey everyone. Welcome to Part 7 of the Shakespeare puzzle"

[@Mr.Jim248]

That could give the Jindosh Riddle a run for it's money

[@d4n5t3p3]

All of those streams would be just him reading Shakespeare

[@CosmicWaltz7]

Of note is the gap between "Normal" and "Hard" riddle difficulty, which is immediately apparent in the bookstore puzzle. "Normal" asks you to put books out of order with numbers on the spines. "Hard" requires a genuine knowledge of five of Shakespeare's works.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

There’s a certain card-related puzzle in this game with a cruel hard mode, but I had ZERO idea that there was legitimately meta-knowledge of FIVE of Shakespeare’s works required for one of the puzzles. Hard mode is the scariest thing in Silent Hill.

[@Geegs]

It requires you to know the works and then do some fuckin math Hardest puzzle of my life

[@reviathan3524]

I didn't know that there's puzzle difficulty in SH games until I watched some SH reviews from NitroRad.

[@XamiNaxamis]

Also, later one there's a keypad puzzle where you have to gleam clues from a note in order to figure the combo. Normal mode has you do a RE-style number puzzle. Hard mode uses a poem about a guy gouging out his girlfriend's face, which you need to figure out that the face maps to the number pad, and the combo is the order that the guy mutilates her facial features.

Vinny seems to be a lot more immersed since he's not streaming this and reading chat, this is awesome.

[@lman9034]

Vinny switching to videos instead of streaming is imo the best thing to ever happen to him. While blindyot and silly mistakes can be pretty annoying, seeing him actually enjoy games on his own instead of chat being chat and screwing stuff up, has been so great for him and his content.

[@Dougie-Jones]

He doesn’t have the comfort of +100 people watching him which is good for something like Silent Hill

[@pyro380]

Yeah, way more exciting that way without dumb memes or videos. I think this works particularly well for horror games where immersion is everything.

[@mud2294]

I think if he is at his best in a mixture of streams and vids. Stuff like Metroid or Zeld would be great streams, and SH3 and Dagon work better as vids since it allows himself to be more immersed. That being said, SH 1 and 2 streams are great.

[@fiendishshape]

Sorry I only recently started watching Vinesauce, did he really stop streaming & now only pre-records stuff?

"Well there IS that place called 'Quiet Mountain' but that ain't the same thing, I've heard it's nice over there actually."

[@bongchoof]

The reason I like 3 so much is Heather. She is my favorite horror game protagonist. She doesn't take shit and she fights back but she still feels vulnerable. She feels a bit like Ripley to me. Her voice actress is pretty great too, though you don't really get to hear her shine until later in the game.

[@TheLastHylianTitan]

I was drawn to her the first time I saw a silent hill 3 play through and was introduced to the game but I could never put my finger on why. And then someone else in a comment section put it into words - she feels REAL. She’s got grit. She doesn’t go through her countless trials and tribulations as some perfect idealized badass with flawless makeup and gratuitous male gaze shots. Shes got grime and bloodstains all over her. Her eyes look a little red because she’s probably teared up more than a few times out of fear and grief. Her hair is dirty. She’s got bruises and cuts all over her. Her clothes are just clothes, they don’t make her feel like an object for other people to gawk at, they just feel like an outfit a teen girl might put together for herself. Everything about her feels like something a teen girl would have chosen if they were asked to make a heroine that they could vibe with. There’s never unnecessary focus on her body, instead we focus on her pain and her mental state. She’s fierce. She’s flawed. She gets hurt. She gets back up again. They could have easily made her some kind of polished hero, but they kept her HUMAN.

[@Senor_Penor]

@@TheLastHylianTitan This, this right here. Perfectly said.

[@Nobutehuhh]

I love the muffled mall talking noises. Horror that subtly fades out the existence of people is always effective to me. One moment you're in a comfortable public area, the next you're in this odd tangent world.

It's less important than you'd expect, at least. Kudos for going back to the dream sequence, though. It's actually pretty damn important later.

[@Glory2Snowstar]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was my Mother 3. Vinny’s Silent Hill 2 stream happened at a crucial point in my life and struck my soul. Since then I’ve kind of been obsessed with the series. Now, the Spooktober trinity is complete. I’m so happy.

[@anankos795]

To be honest as much as I try to not feel this way, I always feel strange whenever I hear those barely edited stock sound effects in "Silent Hill 4: The Room". I wouldn't be surprised if Vinny catches them immediately when they first occur.

honestly i'm surprised vinny got so far without the map. The mall was very maze-like for me when i first played it, extra street cred for vin

[@PleasantLeech]

2 is probably my favorite but there's something special about 3. Mainly I find 3 the most disturbing, it makes me the most scared and upset. It's a more effective horror than 2 but I still like the very personal story of 2 just a little.

[@Blade383210]

Yeah I agree. Gameplay wise and horror wise SH3 is better, but SH2's story is just so good.

[@PleasantLeech]

@@Blade383210 yup, for me personally nothing in horror media has hit as hard as things like walking into a room to find a girl with a knife staring at her reflection. That's true horror that could happen to anyone at anytime and it carries so many disturbing themes. Not to mention the music.

[@beardalaxy]

the horror of sh2 is what i actually prefer, it feels very strangling but somehow comforting. like drowning. there isn't anything that hits that same kind of horror for me other than sh2. sh3 leans a bit more into classic horror, feelings of dread, that kind of stuff, rather than weird depressive but comfy loneliness.

[@PleasantLeech]

@@beardalaxy yeah I feel the same way. It really feels weirdly comforting. It perfectly nails the vibe of the town being an entity that draws you in. It's a lure to a hell of your own creation but the multiple endings give you the chance for a happy ending. I can't think of any other game that tries to psychologically read you in such unique and creative ways. 3 on the other hand really just makes me upset and disturbed. I love 3 but I love 2 on a deeper more personal level.

[@NekkuruWolfie]

I strongly agree, SH3 is one of my favorite games just because is one if not the only that made me so scared that the ambience actually gave me a headache at one point, that was a weird feeling, I love SH2 story but damn, SH3 is amazing in what it does to you while you play, I won't say anything else to not spoil to anyone reading the comments but I'm so excited for Vinny to enter THAT room, I want to hear his reaction already lol.

[@chewy10000]

I'm honestly super impressed he breezed through the mall without the map, that certainly makes it more challenging, he's pretty good. I'm really happy he's playing this, it brings back a lot of nostalgia for me, I was 7 when this came out.

[@twphang95]

Vinny saying goodbye at the beginning of the video (but actually the ending) because he replayed the beginning segment the next day and John editting it to put it at the end of the beginning gave me Memento/Irreverisible vibes. That's some cinematic genius there John!

[@Sprech41]

Vinny's on the right track with the enemy design analysis, although the monsters in this game aren't quite as symbolic as in Silent Hill 2. In fact, you may notice that the Closers (the tall fellas with meat arms) look a lot like the Mandarins (the guys who hang under the floor grates in 2). Masahiro Ito has said that part of the reason for this similarity is because he really liked the design, but you never got a good look at them in 2, so he wanted to show them off more. That's not to say there's NO symbolism, but most of the time in this game its more like "this looked cool so we put it in"

[@Rocker-1681]

>this looked cool so we put it in >most of the time Not true. Actually, it's the inverse. Most monsters in this game do still have symbolism, it's just a lot more subtle than SH2's. And some of the symbolism is a spoiler, so there are definitely monsters that seem like they don't have any until you understand the plot and ending. That being said, you are right that there are still a few enemies that don't have any whatsoever, but they're definitely outnumbered by those that do have symbolism. Edit: *most* of the monster symbolism, where it exists, is a spoiler for this one. Not just some. Most.

[@Sprech41]

@@Rocker-1681 hard disagree. SH2 had subtle symbolism that you really had to dig to into. Here, the symbolism is a bit of an afterthought. This is by no means a bad thing. SH1 was similar in this regard. Different games with different styles

[@Sprech41]

@@Rocker-1681 basically all i'm saying is SH2 went HARD on the symbolism. 1 and 3 went for a different approach, and did not focus much on the symbolism aspect, especially when compared to 2. And i think both of these approaches are perfectly valid

[@ImmaLittlePip]

@@Sprech41 I'd say sh3 has a bit more symbolism than sh1 because silent hill 1 is basically "Here's what Allyssa was afraid of because she was a child" while sh3 can be more female focused with it's fears Though sh2 really went above and beyond

[@c-puff]

According to the wiki the numb body enemies aren't symbolic of anything, Masahiro Ito said. ....and I'm like.... Ito-san.... that's clearly a knob.

FINALLY HE DID IT

[@SQron188]

"I came here to be spooked, not to think"... Oh boy, you should see some of the riddles on Hard... The map was on a notice board the camera focused on around 24:42. For controls, "zoom" is used when viewing the map. "Supplies" instantly uses a health item from your inventory if Heather's hurt (not sure whether Health Drink/First Aid Kit first so you may want to just do this from inventory to avoid wasting resources). The weird "fear" thing Heather does if you press the run button while standing in place is a parry of sorts. If you time it with (some of) the melee attacks, you may be able to avoid them somewhat. Tip: try to save some more of your ammo. Also, just like in the previous instalments the torch, the radio, and running make the monsters more likely to be alerted to your presence. Gotta love the meat-grinder-y noise when Heather has the unfortunate encounter with the subway train. That's the kind that stays in your mind for a while. Also, _Growing strong and healthy... MINMO_

A funny thing that can happen in the first bathroom in the scum world is that, if the game detects you to have a Silent Hill 2 save file, when you inspect the toilet, it will ask if you want to rummage around in the toilet bowl to grab something out of it, and Heather will reach in just like James did, only for her to pull away at the last second, turn to the camera and go "that's disgusting. Who would ever do something like that?"

For those looking for symbolism, keep in mind what may be a fear for a teenage girl. Far more blood imagery and enemies with penetrating attacks than previous titles, themes of pregnancy and medical imagery, fear of female objectification and troubled self-image, and some monsters are incredibly phallic. Not as poignant as SH2, but there's still a lot of thought put into this title.

[@nugsboodlepoo]

I'm so excited to watch this. You're SH2 playthrough is my favorite SH2 let's play. Heather's aversion to mirrors has to do with how she senses she is not entirely her own person. She's Heather and she's Alessa but she doesn't remember being Alessa until she goes to Silent Hill. Many of the monsters reflect the feeling Heather has of sharing her body with someone or something completely separate from her. Like the Pendulum and split Head dog and the fetus in her womb. She doesn't like her reflection because she doesn't feel like her reflection is her which is strongly emphasized by the mirror in the hospital in which her reflection turns into Alessa. The Closers are one of the hardest monsters to attach a meaning to. I have always just thought they where an allusion to Dahlia and the fear Alessa felt of her because the closers make Heather look the size of a young child in comparison.

Some of my favorite streams from Vin are the Silent Hill ones, really happy he’s playing the third game!

[@RealDuendeNoFake]

YES! I've been waiting for this ever since he streamed Silent Hill 1 and 2! Thank you john fullsauce for the quick upload!

[@c-puff]

My dream of Vinny playing this this year despite shenanigans has come truuuueeee~ 💖 Thank you Binyot! I hope you enjoy this game. I’ve been excited for this one since last year!

[@TakeNoShift]

watching this while eating an entire bowl of corn is something one must experience to understand

[@ShadowFoxSoothsayer]

I .... oh I didn't know you could die anywhere in that segment, I thought you had to get to the end of it XD

[@liamdell6319]

It's a speedrun strat.

[@ChaoticPochi]

i dont care if it's technically kinda inferior to 2, heather is such an iconic character and it does a damn good job continuing off the legacy and story of the first game. it captures a similar but different kind of horror than 2 captures with it's relatability. i can't wait for vinny to see the continuation of the ufo endings (truly the best of the trilogy)

[@noobishmacgaming]

Heather’s personification established through the text pop ups when you click on stuff in the environment has never been surpassed.

[@rando843]

In no way is it technically inferior, if anything it's far far superior Though, I'm assuming you don't mean technically as in technologically, lol

[@joshuareesor1756]

Eh, I don't really see any of the "Team Silent" Silent Hill games as inferior to each other. Each of them is attempting to do different kinds of horror and different kinds of stories, which I think they all excel at capturing while also using their graphics/soundtrack/puzzles/etc. to enhance it. Honestly, I find SH3 to have the best balance of qualities in terms of being a video game, so I would rank it as my personal favourite when I consider each game based on their entireties and not just on their strengths.

[@ChaoticPochi]

oh yeah no you’re right! i shoulda used another word rather than technically, because on a game dev scale 3 is definitely more packed than 2. it’s just like how with smash bros, every next game is a technological improvement over the last, but people still prefer melee the best ‘cause of what it accomplished on its own. silent hill 2 is like the melee of the franchise lol

[@huhusmremre]

My favourite Silent Hill game _and_ protagonist, let's GOOO!

[@nesfan8]

Akira Yamaoka is such an amazing composer, and guitarist

[@k9_xx]

"Gotta be honest...thats kinda bullshit." Don't worry, Vinny. It's a rite of passage as a true fan to experience the, uh. Splattening 🥲

[@EmmyEntropy2000]

When you get pushed onto the tracks I died 3 times because I couldn't believe the solution was as simple as just getting back off the tracks

[@SQron188]

That fucking meat grinder noise, though... Not a painless death. I'll never forget that noise

[@evanhiltzik00]

@Dummy System what a story, mark

[@hooty8703]

THIS WAS A 2003 GAME??? holy jeez. some games today don't look this good. bravo

[@youraverageinternetperson4323]

Oh man I was so happy to see the notification for this one, I was halfway through Vinny's SH1 playthrough when I saw it lol. Gonna finish that one then watch his SH2 streams, real excited to see him play this one, I know it'll be a good one, chat or no chat. Hope he's still able to solve the puzzles without chat's help though lol

[@mesmerisingcube417]

Yoooo!! Oh god, i love this game so much, and i'm so happy that Vin will experience it for the first time! Oh boy, it's going to be a fun ride my friends

[@Jstarmax]

Glad to see Vinny play Silent Hill 3 and experience the game. Hope he enjoys it. Funny watching it earlier during the prerecorded stream when he got run over by the train and was scared that he didn't save. Lots of good memories I have playing this game on the PS2, especially the music and the atmosphere.

[@endlesswanderingboy9429]

YOOOO VINNY IS PLAYING SH3, THIS REALLY MADE MY DAY!

[@lukegustafson940]

So happy Vinny is enjoying silent hill

[@3dPalmTree]

Since this isn’t streamed let’s all type chat messages with time stamps and comment them all at once

[@FatalKitsune]

I also like how this game wastes no time. Silent Hill 2 is like "let me tell you about the excruciating milieu of existence and dread we all live in, we are born just to die, love just to hurt, and laugh just to cry" and then Silent Hill 3 comes along and is like "HEY YOU KIDS WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY"

[@pyro380]

Yeah, I love Silent Hill 2 for the emotional gut punch and slow building dread but I also like that Silent Hill 3 is doing it differently and just commits to full-on visceral assault on the player. :D

[@rivertonhaden-henderson5392]

I audibly gasped when I saw he played this I love this game sm

[@cabarettaximan6592]

My days of obsessively rewatching the sh2 playthrough are over

[@Sprech41]

Mmmm its much later in the game, but I hope he finds THAT room. You know the one

[@skeletortheskeleton9016]

I always wondered if Vinny was gonna pick up Silent Hill 3 after his playthrough of the first game, now I know he was just waiting for a good opportunity with Spooktober! Just finished watching part 1 and already can't wait for part 2 😁
