@@QnzColdest People think using the term “female” means you’re an incel, now. Incels did use the term “female” pejoratively; regardless, that should have no effect on the term’s use. How exactly can we continue to discuss biological sex or sex-specific issues-such as misogyny-if the term “female” is handed over to a bunch of sick, narcissistic men? We can’t. Female is nothing but a scientific term to categorize the sex that produces ovum; male, a term to categorize the sex that produces sperm. I could give less of a fuck if incels use it as a pejorative. It’s a term that will never outrun its relevance nor be co-opted by delusional men. It’s fact. Also, for anyone who needs clarification: gender is about stereotypes placed on men & women-masculinity & femininity. Gender is not an indication of sex classification; it’s a term that distinguishes biological sex (male & female) from societal expectations placed upon males & females (masculinity & femininity). When most people say gender, they’re referring to sex. I try to inform people where I can that there’s nothing wrong with using “female” & “male” to denote the two sexes. It is not accurate to refer to female health issues as “gender health issues,” for example. Gender is immaterial; sex is our material reality. Therefore, “female” & “male” will always be significant & relevant. Gender stereotypes are why people believe women aren’t beholden to various titles like COD, Halo, WOW, etc. There is no video game suitable only “for” women nor “for” men. Video games designed with women in mind can & have been enjoyed by men, & vice versa. It’s a failure of the industry to underestimate women’s enjoyment of current titles-companies continue to believe the same stereotypes that you yourself exhibit in your comment. What would women be interested in with video games? Anything. Women aren’t born with a natural affection for pink, romcoms, or RPGs. Women are raised to meet feminine stereotypes & are pressured to maintain femininity their entire lives-the consequences for women who do not conform to femininity are pervasive & constant. In America alone, it ranges from women being rejected in the workplace to being abused. Girls who grow up wanting love & acceptance like anyone else will find it difficult to earn if they shirk femininity. It’s usually claimed that most girls “grow out” of their “tomboy phase,” when really, girls are given a choice between social acceptance & femininity, or social ostracism & authenticity. Femininity is never really a choice, then, when it’s one made out of social survival. There are a lot of female “gamers” who enjoy only tactical shooters; there are a lot of women who prefer competitive online play; there are even more who enjoy RPGs & MMOs, & participate in the adjacent communities. Female participation seems to have dwindled slightly due to harassment, at least from what I’ve seen. A very small percentage of women see video games as part of their identity; still, according to a few sources from a quick google, over 40% of women in the United States report having played a video game. Brenna Hillier at VG247 reported on EEDAR surveys that confirm women primarily play mobile multiplayer games. Much of the quotes she features in that article belie the gap between industry awareness & reality. These men who publish mobile card games, like Texas Hold ‘Em, were expecting a male audience would be invested. They likely marketed only to men. Instead, they found after the fact that female mobile users were their main audience. You’d think this was some revelation akin to XY’s sermon on the mount. It’s not, though. It’s so simple. Women are not born feminine. Femininity is not our default state. It’s ingrained in us from our parents, our family members, our friends at school, & the media we imbibe. It’s an expectation put on us. Therefore-our image of being a niche group that’s only interested in a few “feminine” genres is incorrect. We are not a homogenous community of fakes. Women have diverse interests & any game concept out there could be viable for female audiences. The industry, however, is not likely to connect these dots anytime soon & include women in their target audiences. Despite the fact that more young women are playing video games today than ever before-on mobile, console, & PC-the industry still regards female participation in video gaming as purely recreational or casual. Personally I don’t really care. Male violence against women is my priority. I’d rather men stop abusing, raping, & killing us than have the video game industry include women in their marketing campaigns. Still, these choices on the part of the industry, as well as the community’s attitude towards women, reflect misogyny. That’s all I came to say & I said it. Take care.

Fun fact: Howard Blackwood in Silent Hill Past Life is the very same Howard Blackwood in Silent Hill Downpour, which means people can be trapped in the hellish phenomena of Silent Hill for decades, even centuries while aging very slowly until the town deems it necessary to release them, which explains why Angela Orosco in Silent Hill 2 and J.P. and Bobby Ricks in Downpour are completely aware that the town is not normal. Also, Past Life was released months before Silent Hill Downpour, the comic's writers and illustrators back in 2011 said that Past Life has a few connections to Downpour despite being less than 200 years apart.

I know this because Silent Hill Past Life is one of the few comic books I still physically have. A majority of the comic books I own (the Silent Hill Downpour comic about Anne Cunningham included) are all digital.

This is kinda long, I apologize! It seems like you may be just slightly older than me. SH wasn’t the first horror game series I got the joy of playing, as I was introduced to survival horror at 10 years old in ‘97 with the original RE2 - the dual disc one, too. I couldn’t play that in he daytime either, I’d make my Mom play it because I was so scared. When I finally got wind of SH, I was like 12? And while I could play RE by then only a little into the night, I couldn’t even _touch_ SH 😭. What SH does so well that RE doesn’t do is that it gets into the player’s psyche. The level of psychological stress that SH gives the player is something that RE just fails at imo. I don’t want people to think that I’m shitting on RE, because I’m not, it’s one of my most nostalgic gaming series close to my heart given all the playing my Mom and I have done (across various types of games as well). I’m just noting the difference between SH and RE. RE is very… I don’t believe I have the right words for it, but a very different kind of horror that doesn’t mess with your mind the way SH does. And other people are right, SH deserves a resurgence with remakes the way RE’s getting. Ugh, the memories I’d love to revisit!! While I still have the old SH games, I don’t have those systems anymore so I’d love to play them again redone with the beautiful things game design can achieve today.

One thing I've never understood about the Jeb backstory... Was Helene and the sheriff dead the whole time?? Was he just imagining them? They go from alive to dead to alive and then dead again... are they just spirits?

Been scrolling the comments under this amazing video but have seen NO LOVE for the amazing music by Akira Yamaoka. Incredible emotional pieces and the songs with lyrics (I forget the female singer, Elizabeth is her first name iirc) are incredible. They've been on my iPod since SH3. GREAT video. The comics were totally new to me. I appreciate the hard work.

Facts

I like how homecoming basically answers the question about what happens in the town next door to the insane ghost town

"Causing Jack and Jill to fall on the floor" Absolutely mad.

As someone who really only knew about the games, I can really see the true purpose of Silent Hill; it's guilt and punishment, either from outside forces or from ourselves. Whether we think we deserve it or not. Gnarly stuff, gotta love it!

Despite the fact most people I know disliked Downpour, I actually quite liked the alternative take on Silent Hill being more focused on rain than fog. I also thought the narrative twists were well done and the moment where you become the Bogeyman for the fight was one I still remember having an "Oh sh*t" reaction to. It will never be 2 or even 3 but I feel like as a more modern take it really worked.

I'm with you The rain fits very nicely into the Silent Hill franchise anyways as much of it is based around mental anguishes. It's often used as a literary device to denote things like sadness/despair, introspection, and a cleansing & renewal. Kinda washing away your sins and learning to forgive yourself. Fits Downpour like a glove, whereas the fog worlds likely represent feeling lost and unsure of your way in life. Loneliness and fear of what's beyond.

Wrong. Much of this video is non cannon info. The only cannon games is SH 1-4 and possibly PT. This is an issue the SH community constantly has. Wich is knowing what’s cannon and what’s not. Konami doesn’t help much either

@@kalebpinkston3495 actually Konami as far as I'm aware has never said none of the games or comics are cannon anymore so it's all cannon lore but much of silent hill lore is up for interpretation so you can take lore videos like this with a grain of salt and head cannon your own lore if you don't agree with how this video explains it

And most shocking they aren't that bad, I was ready to cringe at the story lol

You've made me come up with a theory about what makes this game amazing. I have finished the first 3 games about 5 times. The last time I finished them I followed a guide to obtain absolutely everything in the game (files, extra cut scenes, etc) The I attempted to piece together the story by myself and I was completely unable to do so. After watching your video, I understand the story better but I realized that there is not a lot to it that "makes sense" and I now have a theory. What makes Silent Hill amazing is not the plot nor the story, not even the characters. It's the feel. The feel that you are trapped in some form of fever nightmare that you can't comprehend. You keep investigating and exploring and you learn new things, but the full understanding of what's happening will always evade you. What happened to the other people in the town? Who came up and how did they come up with all the rituals, talismans, and magic, etc? Heck, what on Earth is Silent Hill? I believe that Silent Hill 1, 2 and 3 focused more on the vibe rather than the story and the plot, and the other games (mainly the ones created in America) have focused on creating a plot that "makes sense", have attempted to answer the questions that the first 3 games left unanswered and have completely failed to recreate the magic of the first 3 games. Sadly, I don't think that this tendency will change. I hope I am wrong.

The first silent hill is just a typical week for any truck driver passing through Centralia, Pennsylvania

This video has made me realize how much of a power struggle is going on in silent hill. It's kinda cool and insane all at the same time. I had only played the games, as I lived in the middle of nowhere it was a 6hr drive both ways to even try to get the comics. The silent hill universe is very well written out. Thanks for this awesome (but long) video!

I'm genuinely impressed that you decided to talk about the Silent Hill comics.

The lore seriously goes off the rails with the IDW comics.

In Silent Hill 4: The Room, if you look at the pictures he took in Silent Hill around his bedroom, the dialogue given about how he views Silent Hill answers a lot of questions about how others, like the people in Silent Hill 2, viewed the town as an idyllic vacation spot. My theory... maybe right, maybe wrong... is that Silent Hill has a glamour over it, completely hiding it's dark side, and it lures people in like a pitcher plant, where it reads their souls and judges them to determine who just sees a quiet little picturesque town, and can just leave, and who is broken enough to require it's aid and punishment, both seem as one and the same by the town.

Please do a timeline for Fatal Frame.

Yes this! Because story line is very confusing with so much character popping in and out then disappears.

I have never understood the series as much as I do now. Thank you so much. That Silent Hill 2 ending still makes me cry.

The story of James Sutherland always chills me up.

Very unpopular opinion, but I love Homecoming. It's a decent-ish game, pretty standard storyline, but it's Alex's story and revelations during the game. I guess I connect to it somehow, where since I have parents who love me but can't express it effectively, kind of similar-ish to Homecoming. Plus the familial generational sacrifice thing is kind of morbidly cool.

in the end i am just glad that alessa, the anti heroine, finally have her happy ending as heather even though she lost her father in the process. at least this time she can have a normal life without being chased by the order cult

I remember playing one of these Silent Hill games and that was Silent Hill 4: The Room where Henry was trapped in his apartment. Just looking at all the other Silent Hill games they were all so scary I couldn’t even finish playing the one I had. Scary.

Drink whenever a character is knocked uncosuious 🤣. Awesome video! Very conscise and thourough! Thank you for doing all the hard work to tie all these stories together, fascinating video!

Out of all the comics/visual novels, Sinner's Reward actually felt like a silent hill story, both in the visual aesthetics, the narrative pacing which were clearly inspired by the first two SH games, and how it uses the secondary characters to toy with and torment the protagonist, and even though pyramid head doesn't belong anywhere outside of James' version of the town he makes an appearance that makes a bit more sense than anything else but the original SH2.

Okay, a Silent Hill set in the Wild West would be pretty cool

True. Though, it would be interesting if SH was in space with the aliens and how to escape back to SH for further mind devastation on your character since SH is equally as bad as alien's spaceship in space because you don't know what time period you had arrived back in SH. I had always been curious in exploring this part of SH.

LOVE your long explained videos. Great narration and flow, very organized and clear, fantastic visual aids, 10/10. Keep up the amazing work!

I am so glad you made this video! I'm actually a wuss when it comes to horror games, but I want to know about the plot anyway because many of them have amazing lore and have a very gritty and edging story. And Silent Hill is something that I have had the urge to play, but too afraid to even think about playing. So thanks a lot for your effort!!!

The inclusion of the comics in this timeline break down is amazing. I usually think of those as being off in their own world.

1:02:14 "My Journal. I am Eight." Ahh yes, that's the subtle, provocative writing Silent Hill is known for.

Honesty shattered memories is my favorite in the franchise for how it plays with your expectations. You think the plot is going one way with the way it starts like the original but more and more things don’t add up that can’t just be chalked up to tweaks until the first of the twists leaves you lost until the final twist drills a nail in, even more so depending on your choices.

It truly sucks that modern Konami won’t show this franchise love. Also, does anyone know where I could get the art for the “Dying inside” comic mentioned around the hour mark? Shot in the dark I’m sure but it reminds me alot of Ralph Steadman’s illustrations done for Hunter S. Thompson’s literature, and I love the way it looks.

This was outstanding work! I love silent hill and now, more than ever. Thank you

So Sinner's Reward is literally just "Jack and Jill went up the (Silent) hill."

I always need a long video about games to fall asleep to. KZread recommended this to me at 10:00 so I guess it's time to hit the hay.

Massive fan of horror games; I completed a bunch of them, including RE4 when I was 6 (the best in the series by far). Got Silent Hill 2 when I was 6. Did not have the balls to complete it until I was 12. It was the creepiness that got me. I was used to jumpscares. This was just too creepy 😅

As an avid Silent Hill fan, thank you for covering this with wonderful detail!

I never knew there was so much to Silent Hill yet now I'm obsessed with the comics. I only played the games. I cannot wait to completely dig into everything.

its so devastating to see what could've been with PT. The series is so fascinating but sadly it just feels so unfinished and almost like there's a disconnect in the finality of the series. Perhaps this is what makes the silent hill mystery so good but also it's such a bittersweet feeling to see Silent Hill end on such a flat note when Silent Hills could've very well been the best entry in the series had it ever released.

Aside from this incredibly awesome video, the art style of past life is phenomenal I absolutely love it Y'all did a great job on going into detail on every aspect of this series, bravo!!! Edit: I completely forgot to mention, p.t. was such a heartbreaking situation, development-wise... I literally CRIED MY EYES RED when they announced it wasn't going to be completed. I was so damn excited to have such a beautifully made silent hill game come to fruition. It would have been so amazing... It still makes me sad that they never made it...

Such a great video. I own 2 comics but I always stay on the look out for the others. I've been obsessed with Silent Hill for 13 years. There's just so much to the story of this town. I can't wait for F and Townfall to come out.

Dude I've needed something like this for a while, thanks man.
