Silent Hill
So this franchise has become a bit poop in recent years but back during the days of 1-3 it was a stellar survival horror series.
What's your favourite Silent Hill game? Favourite character? Favourite spoiler moment? Favourite music? Which game didn't you enjoy?

I've become a big Silent Hill fan recently. So far I've played through 1, 2, Shattered Memories, and most of 3.
My favorite so far has definitely been 3, and my favorite character has actually been Heather. Next favorite character might be Kaufmann just for how many times I quote his "Thank God, another human being" line.
SH4 looks like trash and Downpour I thought was pretty interesting, albeit a weak entry. I love the joke ending of Downpour.
Now I am going to promptly leave this thread before I have anything from SH3 spoiled for me.

I have only played the first one and it was pretty great. Got 2, 3 and 4 to get through at some point. I was sad that I didn't get the best ever ending for that game, so I'll have to play it again to do so.

SH2 was the pinnacle of the entire franchise.
-
I prefer the one with Heather and the song that accompanies the opening sequence of that title.

Don't get mad, get moist
I loved SH2, but SH3 was what got me into the series the most. Yamaoka's music is stellar and 3 has my favourite soundtrack of the lot. I found the story and ideas behind 4 brilliant but, like many, the gameplay made it so that I never finished it
-
Love 2 - Inner Fears and 6 - Downpour. James and Murphy are great, Heather, too but I hate 3. It was somehow okay but the way the disturbing atmosphere was expressed was simply too much for me. Heather and her story - okay but that's it. I like the much disliked movie WAY more.

Don't get mad, get moist
3 had the one bit that trout me up the most. The mannequin room.
-
It had a way more disgusting room. The absolute no go for me. Even Angela's no go-sidestory in Inner Fears was more abstract and less present.

smurf THAT MANNEQUIN ROOM
SH3 is the first game I played and I adore the soundtrack - one of the only game soundtracks that comes to mind that I'd be in favor of listening to on it's own. My vote for favorite goes to SH2, though, because everything about it is just so perfect. So many good memories of me and my best friend playing SH3 in a lightless room and scaring the trout out of ourselves for no good reason. SH3 is undoubtedly scarier than SH2, but I prefer SH2's storyline.
In agreement that the franchise has gone downhill lately. I tried to play The Room and became absurdly frustrated, shutting it off after an hour or so of game play.
There was a site I found about all the crazy ultra-deep meanings about the smallest details of these games and how they connected with the characters that I will have to look up when I am not on my phone. I spent hours reading about the observations and was completely fascinated at how in-depth they were.
also pyramidhead for best character
-
I was going to say 2 until I remembered that Japanese dog ending. Teh heck? O_o
Interesting that the dog ending is what freaked me out and not everything else in that game.
-
It's a shame that Pyramid Head's design changed after the movie came out.
-
Played through 1-4 and the arcade and SH2 is still the best for me. I seriously didn't expect the bit with James and Mary. And I can't get over the room with the red siren thing and the pyramid head is chasing you around the itty bitty place. Good thing he was holding the gigantic cleaver and couldn't really catch up. 4 was scary though because of the real-time events even when you pause the game. And Room of Angel is seriously one creepy song. At least Theme of Laura was kinda invigorating :/
