#Silent Hill 2 Spoiler

[maddymoreau]

ψ(｀∇ ´)ψ Guess what I’m finally playing!!!!

I’m going to be playing it all night until I beat it!!

╭( ๐_๐)╮Although I’m playing on easy this game feels like I’m on hard because sadly I can’t save.

EDIT: NEVERMIND??? It’s letting me save now?!?!!

Double Edit: (〃^_^)ゞ Turns out I had been pushing the wrong button the entire time.

FINISHED THREAD:

#٩( ᐛ )و I might live blog it a little but I’m not entirely sure since I can’t screenshot. #I don’t know why the Xbox One won’t let me save even when I attempt with the red letters. #(ㆆᴗㆆ) I lost my first two hours of gameplay from that (though tbh I hadn’t made a lot progress so it wasn’t a huge loss). #ANYWAY THAT WAS LIKE A MONTH AGO I CAN’T WAIT ANYMORE I WANNA PLAY AND SAVE MY WIFE MARY <3!!!!! #MaddyMoreauPost #Silent Hill 2 #Silent Hill #Silent Hill 2 Spoiler #Silent Hill Spoiler

Signalis is living rent free in my head rn

When you play the cassette and get to that first person section in the train, you can see that on one side the buildings look much newer and well kept than the ones on the other side. It's so simple, but it's one of my favorite bits of environmental storytelling in the game. I fucking love how the game shows you the miserable living conditions of the miners and how it has small details to really illustrate class difference.

I love how it uses "expired" instead of "dead" because "dead" has mostly likely been banned. This is also really simple, and the control of language has been explored in a ton of other dystopias (literally 1984), but I don't know, it's so frightening to see it fully in effect. You see it in paperwork, it's just broadly accepted that the word is gone.

I think an even more horrifying concept is how Falke units are made to look like the dictators of the Nation. Replikas are based on a Gestalt's neural pattern. The very mind of a human worker was used to make an android that has the face of their dictator. That's so fucking scary.

I wish so badly that this game could scare me. It would have been incredible had it executed its "survival horror" aspect better, but god, I love its environmental storytelling so much.

#signalis #long post but god #gah #that game just is yeah #gay silent hill 2 except not scary and youre in a dictatorship #the setting is just so fucking cool jesus christ i love this game #signalis spoilers

James' interactions with Eddie are something I've found myself thinking about a lot since finishing Silent Hill 2. Pretty much every character in the game serves double duty as being fleshed out as individuals, while also serving as a commentary on some facet of James as a character. Maria is the most obvious, but you also have Angela's self loathing and suicidal ideation, which reflects James' own self flagellation through Pyramid Head. Laura echoes many of the regrets James himself feels about his distance and possible neglect of Mary before she died, and throws those thoughts back in his face out of her own anger. By that same logic, I'd argue Eddie is a means for James to confront his denial as well as his capacity for violence.

Eddie comes to Silent Hill on the run after lashing out against those who bullied him since childhood. After being mocked for years due to his appearance and weight, he shoots both his bully, and the bully's dog, and so ends up coming to the town. Like James and Angela, he too committed a crime of passion (assuming Angela did indeed kill her abusive dad as is implied), and all three are trying to come to terms with what they did. Unlike Angela, who knows what she did and has been conditioned by her abuse to blame herself, Eddie is closer to James, seeming to actively deny what he has done. Or at least only sometimes. It's not entirely clear (and I invite anyone to correct me if I'm minsinterpreting) but Eddie seems to experience multiple personalities. He flips between being more aware of his surroundings and past, and more out of it and unaware. Sometimes he's gleefully boasting about how the people he's killed had it coming. Sometimes he's sat eating pizza like he isn't even aware what kind of place he's in. And we see this flip when James confronts Eddie in Toulca Prison, finding him standing over another body. At first he revels in his kill, and rationalises it, before seeming to flip, and attempt to feign ignorance, as if the prior conversation never happened. For all his bravado, I'd imagine the blood on his hands is extremely traumatic, just as it is for James, and this is likely a psychological coping mechanism. With his false memories repressing his past actions and allowing him to deny it, Eddie mirrors James in that respect. As well as how they're both mild mannered people but who are capable of acts of terrible violence when pushed far enough.

What really stands out to me is that every encounter with Eddie is done in a way that allows James to claim the moral high-ground. When James finds Eddie vommiting in the apartment bathroom, he expresses concern. When Laura runs off from the bowling alley, James berates Eddie for not showing more concern for her safety (giving us one of the most iconic meme lines in the series). And most blatantly, James is horrified when he finds Eddie, having just shot somebody dead. Most tellingly he says "You can't just kill someone just because of the way they looked at you!" And yet, isn't that precisely what James did? He killed Mary because of the exhaustion of caring for her in the late stages of her illness. Because of the way she spoke to him. The way she looked at him. James spends all his interactions with Eddie trying to convince himself that he's a good person. A better person than Eddie. But the more he encounters Eddie, the more Eddie becomes a mirror to him. He definitely has his own struggles as a character and makes a very prescient point about what happens when people are constantly rejected, mocked and socially isolated by society, convinced that they are unlovable (in some ways, Silent Hill 2 was making some very relevant points about incel culture in 2001). But he's also a means for James to confront the parts of himself he doesn't like. His frustration, self-loathing, denial and violent streak. When Eddie tells James that they're the same, that they were both called by the town for a reason...he's right.

And ultimately, for all of James' posturing, all his denial, all his attempts to be the moral voice of reason, James still ultimately ends standing over Eddie's corpse.

Once again, he's killed another person. And confronting that side of himself one of the last things he does before arriving at the Lakeview Hotel and being forced to fully accept the truth...

#this game is so good and i feel like i have to start putting my thoughts down about the story #i feel like you could do something like this for james' dynamic with every character tbh #eddie dombrowski #james sunderland #silent hill 2 #silent hill #silent hill 2 spoilers #canon typical cws

Now I’ve already played signalis and it is very inspired by silent hill 2, in fact signalis probably wouldn’t exist without silent hill 2. So it was really cool playing silent hill 2 both for the experience of playing the game myself and also seeing tons of the ways that it influenced signalis that I hadn’t heard others mention before.

Spoilers for signalis and silent hill 2:

Like in sh2 james is searching for Mary but then he meets Maria who looks very similar to Mary to the point even James gets confused and at the end of the game Maria disguises herself as Mary (or it could also be an illusion James is seeing idk).

This seems like it was probably the inspiration behind alina and ariane in signalis who Elster also gets confused with remembering correctly.

But probably the main thing silent hill 2 has that I feel signalis is missing would be a joke ending cause silent hill 2 has 2 joke endings and their both hilarious the dog ending and the ufo ending and I really wish signalis had a secret joke ending like that cause I think the signalis devs could make something really funny. That would be something I would love from a future signalis update maybe.

[ image: A large group of doodles of the main cast of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared dressed as characters from Silent Hill 2. Red Guy is dressed like James Sunderland, Yellow Guy is dressed like Laura, and there is a drawing of Duck as both Mary and Maria. Starting from the upper left corner and going clockwise: There is a drawing of Duck as the final boss, hanging upside down dressed in a dirty, bloodied hospital gown and strapped into a spikey metal frame. Bandages cover parts of his head and close his beak shut. A drawing of Red Guy in a rowboat on a lake, the three's house in silhouette in the distance, cloud and rainbow included. A full body drawing of Red Guy in James Sunderland's outfit, gesturing and saying "Don't be ridiculous." A drawing of Yellow Guy in Laura's outfit, hands brought up in fists and angry eyebrows as he says, "You hated him! You killed the other one!" Two drawings of Duck side by side, the first being Duck dressed as Mary in the hotel video, saying "Oh, I just love it here! It's too bad we have to leave...", the second Duck dressed as Maria, gesturing with a hand on his hip and one brought up to his chin, saying "Do I look like your housemate? Don't get so mad, I was just joking." A drawing of Red Guy doing the infamous 'looking in a mirror' scene, sliding his hand in front of his face in a darkened bathroom mirror. In the very middle, a drawing of Yellow Guy sitting on top of a grey brick wall, looking blankly at the viewer. There is graffiti of Shrignold and Tony the Clock on the brick wall. ]

There’s no use explaining why I drew these
