Re: general impressions thread

Heh, I didn't even notice that the trailer had been released until today. Impressions: 1) It's Slender Man! Had to get that out of the way. That monster looked like Slender Man to me, heh. 2) So much rain. I simultaneously hope that it's not a heavy-handed plot point while hoping that it's properly ...

However if you look at Dalia and Kauffman and their reactions to everything in the game you could clearly see that they're not helping but manipulating. Dahlia to Harry and Kauffman to Cheryl. This makes no sense. Kaufmann's dialogue with Cheryl and Cheryl's subsequent acceptance of the truth clear...

It is assuming all of SH1 was Cheryl's delusion, and I stated in the last line of my post that the problems with Michelle and living in Silent Hill don't go away. It's just that it still manages to have fewer problems than going off the Bad ending. Not saying I support it. Just saying that if you fe...

It CAN'T be a follow up to Bad ending in either form. 1) Harry isn't shown to have ever known Kaufmann or Cybil. If he had known Kaufmann enough to have a delusion with him in it, don't you think Kaufmann would remember this when speaking to Cheryl? As for Cybil, IIRC, she states that she joined the...

This would be easy for Cheryl to set up Dr. K as an evil person in her madness as the therapist would send her to him so he could break down the walls of this "hero father". I'm sorry, but this is an asspull. It's pretty much contradicted by how Kaufmann said that Cheryl's showing up &quo...

It seems I've ended up in agreement with you, Yuki, after many days of arguing against your side. No explanation *given*. In SH1 and SHSM he plays essentially the same role; the skeptic in the face of Silent Hill's mysticism. Maybe he was someone Harry had seen around before; heck, maybe Harry even ...

I've definitely heard VA rednecks call people queer for not being "manly" enough. Being scared to shoot a deer could definitely be grounds for that kind of insult.

I'm pretty sure they did that to not piss off any of the fanbase, and/or to add a bigger sense of mystery to the story, generally speaking. I disagree. If that was their only objective, they would've just said it was open-ended, the way Team Silent always did. Instead, they usually straight up said...

Glad to see it being recognized for story, even if the competition wasn't exactly up to par. It deserved that nod.

Best Adventure game... there's something I didn't really think I'd be seeing out of the series.

(Anticipating it. ^^ Hammering out one of my own, too.) Well, if it had been in supplemental materials regarding any SH but 1, it would invalidate that SH, because it would have to work off of Alessa's otherworld. However, this just means that none of the other games necessarily abide by it if SHSM ...

Really? Oh, then I've been understanding something wrong this whole time. In that case, James' story was also only possible due to Alessa doing... whatever she did? Did all other planes originate from Alessa? And more importantly, where did that bit of information come from? It makes a difference as...

Firstly, why the tangent about Alessa's powers all of a sudden? I thought that was in another thread? I still hold, though, that Alessa did nothing in particular, because mystical nonsense has been happening at Silent Hill long before she came about. Check this page of Translated Memories . Alessa j...

Except that he was directed that way because she called him to her. It's just that Kaufmann happened to be there to force her to accept the truth. If not for Kaufmann and his counterpart, Cybil, her being in distress and calling Harry would just result in his showing up and her comforted by a delusi...

It's a mini-MBTI test. It should be reasonably close, because that's something that's been analyzed to death for years...

Look up an online one, and you'll see how they came about at it. It's surprising how many of our traits are linked to other traits.

It'd be nice if we could separate our "I HATE THIS GAME" rants and our theorizing blurbs... Besides, the myth you're referring essentially devolves into this - there's a bunch of nutjobs and they're corrupting the mysterious powers of a town. Oh, and also, some people have psychic powers. ...

It'd be fitting, and in some ways, IMO, preferable. I want to hope that it'll be good (and I didn't dislike the first, mind), but I'm also scared of getting a movie that's just horrifically bad, which I know is possible.

Well, why should he freeze up then? Cheryl wanted him to keep going, considering how he was the center of her delusion. If he froze up before then, the delusion would have just stopped.

The comment above yours complimented the game... while being on topic and discussing how the controls would map to keyboard. Yours had no place in this thread. And my comment was my being annoyed at you. Trolling? Hardly. Regardless, calm down. Probably shouldn't have reacted the way I did, but come...
