I like that "James killed his wife so he could move on, but what he did was made sure he would never move on."

It's depressing to think the classic Silent Hill games will fade away in the future because Konami was dumb enough to throw away their files when they finished their games. That's why the HD collection turned out so bad, we'll never be able to restore the game for new consoles.

@@tinkerbell1129mew dunno one Silent hill fans make video about Laura being not real even though its confirmed she is real.

Laura is real. She knew Mary at the hospital and talked to her many times, Laura learnt about Silent Hill from either Mary telling her about it or reading the letter she stole from the nurse, that's how she knows who James is. Laura didn't know Mary was dead, to her she probably assumed Mary had gotten better and moved to Silent Hill, Laura was an orphan and wanted to get adopted by Mary. Everyone at her orphanage ignores her existence, hence why she was able to run away so easily, Mary was the only adult to give her the motherly love she always wanted. Even the fact that James never met her shows that he must not have visited his wife so often, which would naturally leave Laura to assume that he never loved her, because if she had someone she loved, she would go anywhere just to see their face again, just like she did to try and find Mary. The reason Laura gets around so easily and doesn't see any monsters is because she is innocent, she has no guilt, she has done nothing wrong and has no trauma. Unlike the other characters she doesn't see these obstacles they have to get through in order to progress on in the town, for her it's just an empty, run down, normal town, that she can walk around in easily. Her reaction to James telling her he killed Mary is devastating. She left the only home she ever knew to travel miles to this one town fuelled with the only hope and desire that she will be a family with Mary and finally get what she always wanted. But that's all torn apart in front of her by the person that Was part of Mary's actual family.

Assuming the Laura we see is real, how is she in Silent Hill? Couldn't it be the case that James met the real Laura in the hospital before killing his wife, she gives James Mary's letter before he kills her, but this is repressed by his consciousness until the ending? The Laura we see is just James' projection of her. If the Laura we see is real and innocent, explain to me her evil deeds - bullying Eddie, kicking the key away, locking up James, all this before discovering that James killed Mary. To me, these evil behaviors reflect her twisted projection of James, who sees her simultaneously as innocent and as malignant, because she is (through her relationship with Mary) a reminder of his sins. Laura is real and James did met her outside of Silent Hill, but the Laura we see in the town is not real. Again, if the Laura we see is real, then how is she in Silent Hill? I mean, is the town a physical place everyone (innocents) can step upon without being disturbed, and even interact with the "damned"?

Is Silent Hill a perfectly normal town for innocent/pure people?

I really like how you adressed the way the game makes you wonder, as the story progresses and the symbolism gets heavier, what's the big thing that has drawn James into the town. After realizing that he probably didn't cheat on her (because James keeps looking for Mary even though he has found Maria), you come across Pyramid Head. The big sword is much more than just a phallic representation of male urges and its dangers. The main symbol, in my opinion, lies in its weight. Pyramid Head has a hard time carrying that thing around, because it's incredibly heavy, just as the metal pyramid that locks his head. So, as soon as you start connecting the dots and linking that weird pyramid monster to James, you see it killing Maria, which torments James more than anything else he had previously seen in Silent HIll. If that isn't enough, Maria is magically brought back, just to be killed again, right in front of him, by the same monster. Even before the big reveal about James' past, you can already imagine that Mary didn't die because of the disease. The way Silent Hill makes James continuously and powerlessly watch his own crime being committed, right in front of him and by nightmarish representations, is the most intriguing part of the game in my opinion. It's so cruel and so dark, yet it makes so much sense compared to how we deal with guilt within our minds.

The eternal darkness, the confusing story line, and the looming depression throughout the game was difficult to deal with. I can wholeheartedly say that this video game is a masterpiece and encapsulates depression from all different angles. By the end, you are on the edge of your seat and everything is explained yet you are still left with a cliffhanger...why go through all the insane drama to come to such a sad conclusion.

Welcome to the world, as the song goes. Most people in the world do not have a healthy mind, nor are "normal". The nature of humans, as with all living things, is abnormality and deviation. The simple complexity of humans especially makes us prone to this, and is why we can so often go insane in a near infinite number of ways (be they grand or notable or subtle or inconsequential). It's not really a look on morality; just an observation of how people behave (and, often, doing something bad is a cause and sign of the person's mind no longer being healthy or normal. It's the break).

This is by far one of the best analysis videos I’ve seen about SH2, and about James to be specific. Wonderful job! I’ll have to check more of your content

Silent Hill 2 is my real life Silent Hill. I feel trapped in it as if I was James himself and it was a true story and I can't move on.

almost 20 years a no game has been able to top silent hill 2;

Just spent today working listening to a few ledhed playlists.gonna havta go back and watch them..

Your video solidifies the point of how unique this game is.. I can’t even express how it affected my psyche. It’s a work of true human insight and sensitivity

Craving is at the route of all misery.

But people can never really stop craving. Our entire life is craving. People are pure will going from one thing to another to attempt to stop pain. Buddha said life is pain. But what is life? Craving. When you don't crave you're dead. As i write this I am hungry and will eat so the hunger pains go away. But misery is beautiful really. Without misery there is no true joy. Without pain there is no pleasure

This video uses so many preemptively "true" statements without even considering their validity. The argumentative line is nice, but that's about it. Considering someone inherently evil without discussing their actual blame, for example, makes the rest of the argument blank.

do you know the story of Zuko and Azula from Avatar, The Last Airbender? I wonder what your thoughts are on them

I loved your analysis. One of the best ones I've seen so far. Also, the ending to Silent Hill 2 got us all balling😢😭

I found your channel fairly recent and your analysis on the games are far superior than the other channels. Subscribed, keep up the good work!

That was VERY well analyzed! Bravo!

Silent Hill 2 is a heartbreaking game the first time you play it, but in a good way, if that can even make sense.

This video was so fun to watch, keep up the great work!

Youre a great youtuber, i appreciate you!

I simply love everything about this series. When I was younger, I used to think and visualize this town when I went to sleep... It seemed a better reality than mine. Or maybe I somehow knew that I belonged there. Karma is real. So real that most of the times, it can drive our whole existence for the time that is worth it. Past lives can still affect us to this day. After all... For some people, pain is a better teacher... Good video. Subscribed!

Thank god i can watch your videos when i wake up and you upload 5 minutes before i wake up

so very insightful, everything your said resonated with me, great video!

Excelent video, really enjoyable to watch, keep doing high quality videos.

The makers of silent hill 2 clearly watched David lynch’s lost highway lol

This...... Is some high quality content stuff and i love it

You, sir are underrated. I hope you have more great and amazing, quailty contents in the future. And by the way, yoiu earned my sub.

I often click away from videos out of boredom. But this one kept me watching all the way through. Very good video.

Very good analysis of my second favorite game of all time. Very well done. You deserve more subs man!

Yep The town doesn't focuses on being "evil" but rather preys in people's guilt. She's feeling guilty bc she murdered her abusers, not bc of "contemplating suicide" (which the video states as true¿) I don't think the guy who made the video got the story right

And laura is real and he tortured pyramid head. Hes a guide and guardian angel, a desire to be punished and admit to the guilt he pushes james towards his goal of ths truth and seperates him from maria the delusion. Hes strong, sexually dominant and morally cold everything james desires to be and isnt.

Mind = Blown ! Great work man❤️

Also nice touch on including the titles of the tracks used in this video. As a lover of silent hill's soundtracks this pleases me greatly

Me: *Picks evil dialogue in video game.* *Fog starts rolling in under door.* Me: The fuq? Character I insulted in game: *Crawls out of TV*

Wow man. "The karma in our brains." That is an incredible way of putting it. And it is so true too.

Best analysis I’ve heard. Bravo

Wow, this is a damn good video. I've never really thought that hard about Silent Hill before, so this was really interesting.

One of the best soundtracks of all time.

Just found your channel. Love your content already! 👌

Excellent explanation. I enjoyed every single part of the video. Keep going :)

Fantastic analysis vid and only 13 mins at that! Perfect length.

Great vid!

I played this with my friends as a young adult and it was visually stunning, atmospheric and terrifying.

Incredible content! Really enjoyed this!

Your videos are awesome. Im glad that i discover you channel. Keep it up and hi from Argentina.

This is way to good for just 161 views, keep up the good work man.

On the way to the top ✌🏻

That was really insightful thanks!

I think your narration, unlike most videos about SH or otherwise, is very grounded. You *sound* like someone who's experienced the things the characters you're studying, have.

That explains the Dog Ending related to James.

This is great, but I do disagree on some of your thoughts. Mainly about Eddie's bullies, about Laura and Maria being just illusions and about people not moving on at all after they visit Silent Hill, as Downpour proves that to be different. Always happy to watch people reflecting about these characters, so thanks again for the video!

Just stumbled across this channel, love your videos!

Fantastic video. Well made, great narration. This is the only video I have seen of yours and it made me subscribe!

I've never played this game before but I think I would like to give it a try
