_dementia said:Happy birthday SH2. Great game.
subversus said:by the way, how did you like the movie, people? I watched it before I heard about games and I found it quite well made. It has its own damp, "bad" spirit but it doesn't match SH2 atmosphere. People who making the game were inspired, Silent Hill movie felt just like a copycat if you compare them as a piece of media.

badcrumble said:Nobody's ever done multiple endings better than this, either. The system that determines your ending is completely hidden - you're not filling any good or evil meters, there are few to no critical Choice moments where you essentially pick your ending. And the ending you're going to get actually subtly changes the dialogue in the coda of the game, too, so whichever ending you get feels like the logical culmination of the events in the game so far, instead of a cinema tacked on to the end.

randomwab said:Not at all. The first game is my favourite in the series. Silent Hill 2 is second, then The Room and 3.
The first game is equally fantastic and there are people who can vouch for the position you stand for. But this thread is about Silent Hill 2Xanadu said:i prefer the first game

Scythian said:Just curious, why do you put The Room before SH3?
kunonabi said:The movie needed a much better script. The first 30 minutes or so were great. Then all the people showed up and they started explaining everything for the rest of the movie. Sean Bean's storyline was pointless since they had that gigantic info dump at the end of the movie.
When I saw it in the theatre, the audience was really on edge in the beginning. This one girl got seriously freaked out when they showed that the roads had been obliterated. The siren would get everyone amped up and everyone was really into it. Once they showed the church as the source of the siren, everyone just relaxed and the movie was just a long stretch of boring exposition from then on. I would have much preferred that Yamaoka have made a new score for the film. Hearing those tracks played in scenes without any real connection took me out of the film. Playing You're Not Here at the end really pissed me off too.

cj_iwakura said:To be fair, that ending was forced in by studios. Christoph Gans didn't want it. I'd kill for a director's cut of that film.
subversus said:yeah, it seems that the director dug it. He also didn't want Sean Bean but as they had only women in the film at least one male character was necessary.
I wish it was more low-budget.
