himself

sauce

the letter never existed. It was a figment of his imagination

No one

True.

If you don't look at the letter often, it fads to blank

it still fades away near the end game too, right after the VCR tape IIRC

There was no letter, it was in his head. Notice how the writing disappears as the game progresses

>who was phone?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

I thought a nurse from the hospital sent it on with her belongings and there were extra verses missing - That's the ending I got at least...

The town was playing psychologist for James.

Yeah, there was an actual letter at one point but it's not the one James brings to Silent Hill. That one is just in his head, presumably he only remembers the first bit of it after mentally blocking out Mary's death.

That was the plan until James' pillow snuggle. How James gets the letter depends on the endings, for that Mary gives it to James after telling him to move on with his life.

It fades to blank and eventually the piece of paper itself disappears, and you just have an empty envelope in your inventory

Ufo endings are canon

His dead wife, geez OP

>that second spoiler

Why does hekill her then?

Reminder that "Leave" is the canon ending. You may want to punish/make things poetic with "In Water", but not James. He admits to the truth, and pushes to fight on. He would not fight on only to give up again five minutes later. James is his own character.

It's easier to get laid when you are a widow instead of divorced.

His explanation also depends on the endings. But it all boils down to a combination of depression, frustration of the situation they were in, and seeing the one he loves slowly withering away.

He claims it's because he doesn't want to see her suffer but the truth is his love turned to hate but depending on the ending depends if she forgives him or not

Makes no sense, she gave him a way out to go on and live his life... and he kills her? Bad writing.

The letter didn't exist, it was an euphemism for sexual frustration.

This same explanation goes for every other plot hole of Silent Hill 2

you can't just forgive/forget the ones you love/hate; the way out was to cut ties with the woman you love to die alone in a hospital bed which is no answer.

It's actually very believable storytelling

James is a blueballed psychopath who murdered his wife becaue he couldn't fuck her.

It's more that James is a terrible person. He hates his wife for putting him through all that.

If your talking about the second spoiler in that happens after you beat the game. When she was alive Mary was very bitchy towards James but she still didn't want him to leave her.

>came town to "save" your wife and possibly yourself
>by the end, you forgot what you came for

And in the end his waifu ends up being just another version of his wife.

If you cried on the ending you are a fag

Doesn't mean he regrets what he did. Your also twisting the truth a touch.

Maria is the ultimate punishment for James, she serves no other purpose. Silent Hill punishes him with the same shit he had to live trhough with his wife.

Not really. There's nothing stopping James from killing yet another wife.
Maria is actually his get out of jail for free card.

>Maria is actually his get out of jail for free card.

"You'd better do something about that cough"

>does the right thing this time around
>kills her and ignores the next summon
>kills her and goes to SH for some new puss
Poor James.

The spiritual power that resides in the town sent him the letter, you silly billy. You might as well ask who gave Jack Torrance the drink while in the Overlook Hotel.

Don't ever show emotion, bro. It's gay and queer.

This power is not sentient, it only allows people to do actual stuff with the power of their minds.
James "sent" the letter himself.

his wife, dumbass

>There's nothing stopping James from killing yet another wife.
She is already dead, the punishment is to put him through all that agony and futile attempts to safe his beloved one again.

tfw tried installing this two times on PC and its all fucked up both times, second time the fog wasn't even working and big white textures everywhere despite following the widescreen fix instructions precisely

you need to use wine3d

The doge.

>he didn’t get the true ending

Its not just that Mary is dying, but she is constantly drugged on medicine cocktails, getting mad and screaming at James, and crying and begging for him to stay. Mary is dying, but so is the idea, the person that is Mary. Its why James is confused by Maria, as he can't remember what Mary was like before the disease.

James killed her because of what she had become. If James was just an asshole that hated her, he could've just left her. But it was what Mary had turned into that James hated, so he killed her before the memory of her became tainted. The game itself then leads to different endings depending how James remembers her. Maria is manifestation of James's subconscious ideal personification of Mary, perverted fantasy thats better than the distorted corpse lying on bed.

First time i saw this picture in 2009 i laughed so much that i couldn't breath it was 3 am and my dad ran into my room and beat the shit out of me

And? What's stopping him from getting rid of her when she becomes a burden like he did with his wife?

Silent Hill is ghosts. Everything is ghosts. The town is not an hellscape. What happens is that some people get spirited away. Ghost come from the dead and strong emotional memories. Sometimes you hear footsteps and voices. Phone calls and knocking. Sometimes you find teddy bears or abandoned apartments. Silent Hill takes these ghost a step further and bring them forth from the minds and memories of living.

Anyone who sees Silent Hill as monster gallery or zombie town misses the whole point. Its ghosts.

"Lo-a-ost?"

Too bad he didn't rip your fingers off.

Ambiguous.
Town magic.
He imagined it.

Take whatever you want. Near the end of the game, you can examine the letter again to show it's juts a blank piece of paper.

i did, i followed every instruction i could on the widescreen installation page

i'm not really sure what the problem is
