I love that wording so much! :lol: Mewling.

Us U.S. folks are still waiting on SH2 going up for preorder with U.S. GameStop. It is up for preorder on Amazon, though. I'll be checking on GameStop daily! I'm so excited to finally order it. :mrgreen:

Re: Mary's Connection to Stilledalen?

I didn't mean a literal replacement for the Order in the same canon. I just meant Ascension's version of the Order. I mean, I know they made it sound like Ascension was going to be canon with the main series, but so far, I don't really see direct connections. Maybe all the "shape SH canon forev...

Re: Mary's Connection to Stilledalen?

The idea of it being a different sect did occur to me. I just wasn't aware of any connection and thought the Foundation sounded kind of like a name for a replacement for the Order as opposed to sounding like another sect like the Sect of the Holy Woman, the Sect of Valtiel, etc.

Re: Mary's Connection to Stilledalen?

We also know the Order is going to play a role through Rachel, Xavier and their ilk. Is it the Order? I thought it seemed to be a different cult called the Foundation. Nothing about the Foundation so far seemed the same to me, although I'll admit to being pretty confused throughout the episode and ...

Re: Silent Hill preorder booklet translation

Why does the game case blurb refer to SH as Harry and Cheryl's favorite vacation spot? A marketing fluke that no one who worked on the story caught/fixed?

Btw, Adversary, thanks for sharing those little stories. :)

Re: Silent Hill preorder booklet translation

Harry wasn't concerned or alarmed by her request to go to a nowhere place like Silent Hill right near where he and Jodie found her? I checked the game case and game booklet to refresh my memory on exactly what it says since I remembered it mentioning their vacation. The back of the case says, "...

Re: Grief as a Main Theme of Silent Hill 3

She also has no intention of going to hell or purgatory—everything she's done is to bring Paradise to everyone. I remember Claudia saying, "No, I don't expect to be saved." She also says, "Alessa, for the pain I've caused you, I deserve no mercy." Of course, Alessa isn't her dau...

Re: Grief as a Main Theme of Silent Hill 3

For sure, I agree about grief being a running theme in SH3. A running theme -- I don't know that I'd necessarily peg it as THE main theme, but I wouldn't really dispute someone having that take either. I agree about all the mentioned characters being tied to grief. I did always relate the confession...

Re: I want to love this movie but, damn, that story...

It's not an alternative explanation, I inferred it only from the film. My interpretation Saying "Eventually the good part of Alessa revolted against all the hate and split away from her" does differ from Dark Alessa's explanation of them hiding the good part of Alessa away in Sharon, but ...

Re: I want to love this movie but, damn, that story...

That's her explanation, but it doesn't really make sense since she unleashed the nightmare at a random time - was everyone really inside the church at that precise moment? Hmm, what do you mean? The revenge scene wasn't at a random time. It was after Rose confronted them with the truth, which allow...

Re: And... Predictably, people are already complaining.

I hadn't posted in this thread before, but I have absolutely been excited about this ever since the live stream! I'm not expecting an exact replica/remaster of SH2, and folks who are will be very disappointed. I don't need a replacement for SH2. I just hope this will be something awesome based on it...

Re: I want to love this movie but, damn, that story...

- If Dark Alessa is supposed to help Alessa take revenge on the townspeople, why does it trap them in this nightmare world for 30 years and then suddenly decide to annihilate them? Maybe I'm sort of misinterpreting your question, because I'm sure you know this, but Dark Alessa explained that she co...

It looks like time sure did tell, didn't it? :wink: :D Yes! *Happy dance* I'm surprised to see I made that post in 2017. Sometime since then, I became a more firm believer that we would get another game at some point, even if it took ages. I'm really surprised to see I was talking like that as rece...

Re: Set in 1960s Japan

Sorry if I made it sound like I thought the entire series had taken place 100% in Silent Hill! Lol. I just find Japan to be pretty surprising, but I'm assuming they'll tie it in somehow. Still interested to see how. Well, besides Silent Hill 4: The Room , there hasn’t really been any game in the ser...

Re: Wild speculation

Some say it's a new reimagination of SH1 in disguise, based on a burnt body looking like it could be Alessa's, and the guy with the glasses being either Harry or possibly Kaufmann. I think this is an entirely new game, however. Wild speculation? Based on the dialogue, it could be somewhat cult rela...

There was somewhat an influx of membership requests/participation requests in the Facebook group today, although not major. I imagine it'll be a bit hectic come Wednesday evening!
