Silent Hills has some puzzles, but Silent Hill is all about the psychological horrors. The town itself is a purgatory of sorts that twists itself to reflect the darkest elements of the psyche of the person visiting it. So the monsters are kinda abstract, being manifestations of some unresolved psychological issues. It's all very well researched and psychologically fascinating.

The movie... yeah, I haven't seen it, but I heard that it's abominable. The story is changed (which would not be bad in and of itself) so that the main character is a woman, because apparently the director said that no dad would go look for his daughter, that's a woman's job, and that's BAFFLINGLY sexist. And the movie also relies on gore, which was never really the point of Silent Hill. Sure, there is some gory stuff in SH 1 and 3 (not so much in 2 or 4), but what is there is subtle, just to make you feel a bit uneasy and not just baffled by the campiness/squicked out.

Also, the movie uses Pyramid Head and the sexy nurses, which have no place in that story because they were explicitly made to represent the repressed sexuality of James from SH 2. Unless Rose is actually a closet lesbian with a repressed sexual drive, those monsters in that movie do nothing more than provide some surface level fanservice.

So yeah, the movie is just not indicative of the series at all.

There's one I've always wanted to try was that Amnesia: Dark descent. I just think it'd be fun with dalton.

Yah.

You know, That's something I may make dalton do with me. We'll plug the surround sound in and play a scary game together haha.

I am not a fan of horror. I threw my controller across the room when trying to play Dead Space xD Threw it, ran and turned off the xbox as fast as I could. Nope Nope nope.

I think maybe I could play one if I wasn't alone while playing it. I wonder if I can get Until Dawn on PC, I know I can get Fallout 4, I think...

From my experience, your first horror game is always the worst in that regard

Still, never play them alone. And if you ever DO decide to play Silent Hill, i recommend playing them in order. I've only played 1 through 4, so I can';t really comment on the others, but for those four their order works the best, as you get 3 that heavily relies on 1, and 4 that relies a bit on 2, but they're all actually in-continuity with each other and more stuff makes sense when they're played in that order. 2 and 4 are my favorites.

Dangit.

No, we went for buying expensive PC's over a PS4. Eventually I'll get one but It'll be a bit before I put money down for it and games.

Do you have one?

Silent Hill 2 isn't really that scary in the conventional sense.

It's less about OMG THAT MONSTER WILL KILL ME (although sometimes that happens too), and more about "life is tough and aren't we all dead inside, held back by our sins and we're all so alone in this world" scary

No Buy me one.

Awesome!

NOW YOU CAN PLAY SILENT HILL!!!

Be my guest!
