Silent Hill 2 is best imo
Tyler Morales
I really like Silent Hill 2 a lot, too. I have it set up on my PC with all of the fixes. I’m going to start another playthrough tomorrow night.
>One notable connection between Pyramid Head and Valtiel is the fact that they both stalk the protagonist persistently.
>If the helmet that conceals Pyramid Head's face were to be removed, it would become apparent that the designs of the two are surprisingly similar. When the executioner's outfit that is Pyramid Head was designed, it was modeled after Valtiel, an angel from the indigenous religion.
This is from “The Magician entry” about Valtiel in the Lost Memories book. I’ve been wondering, is there a place where all of the Lost Memories scans are translated?

You need the SH PC Guide + DL links for that:
SH1 NTSC DDL:
mega.nz
SH2 DDL:

SH2 torrent:

SH2 PC fixes site:

Mount the ISOs of 2 & 3, and then run their installers like always.
The SH1 is a PS1 rip that you gotta emulate.
The "sh2proxy" is a all-in-one fix, that works as a no-cd crack as well. It is included in the pack.
If you use the NEW fix mentioned in the guide, you can use the sh2proxy's EXE as the no-cd crack!
If you experience issues saving the game / not being able to edit the disp.ini, make sure the files aren't set to "Read Only", and run the game as Administrator.
If SH2 gets stuck in a black screen upon launch, close it and re-start it again.
If SH3 runs like shit even on a strong PC, check and lower the Rendering Resolution setting.
SH2-4 do not support Xinput & PS4 gamepads natively. Either use Xpadder, a DirectInput pad, or just play with KB+M.
There's OK emu-settings for SH1 in the guide. If the image of the game does NOT fill your entire screen in fullscreen mode, check your plugin AND GPU control panel's image scaling settings!
Try the PGXP emulator for a lot less wobbly PS1 graphics.
>Protips
-Play in the release order.
-Never play below Normal difficulty.
-Replaying them all is recommended.
-Turn down the ingame Brightness setting,
-Don't try to kill everything that moves, especially outdoors.
-Turning OFF the flashlight can really help.

I'm slightly more fond of SH1 myself.

Silent Hill 3 has better gameplay, puzzles, graphics, and arguably better music and a better protagonist, but Silent Hill 2's story is better.
That ending is absolutely devastating, no matter how many times I see it.
Christopher Thompson
>translatedmemories.com
shit, it seems like that good ol' site has finally kicked the bucket.
I guess this would work as a replacement:
silenthillmemories.net
Lucas Carter
ye, I use that. I also have a few of the actual, translated scans and a lot of other untranslated scans.

Gavin Rodriguez
I had very, very few fully scanlated pages saved up, because I didn't think the site would just disappear one day. Silly me, but it served me and many fans well for almost decade and a half.

Favorite track from all the games.
Xavier Carter
>Heather Mason
>the demonic Tamagotchi of SH
>raised her badly?
>just hit reset and get a new baby
Adrian Watson
Pretty much this, but SH2 does have some better locations. SH3 is generally better in most areas, and Heather is actually a really interesting character.
Also that main theme is banging.
Wyatt Thomas
sh3 would have been best if claudia wasnt such a shit villain. vincent was way scarier. shit, even douglas was scarier.
Gavin Reyes
Silent Hill 2 had my favorite character line-up desu.
(phoneposting in bed)
Juan Richardson
>love Silent Hill 1 and 2
>can't get into 3 at all
I hate it, I want to like it but there's just something that makes me stop playing every single time. I think I just get sick of walking into a room and having there be 4 enemies to walk through every single time.
Jaxson Hall
>That ending is absolutely devastating, no matter how many times I see it.
Murdering someone that you loved more than anything hits hard, really REALLY hard.
And all that negativity was reflected in Silent Hill towards James even heavier.
This is what made Silent Hill 2 so good, it wasn't really about the town itself, it was there to make James confront and make himself admit what he did, and Silent Hill helped do it, no cultists, no cult, just James himself.
It could have been interesting to see other people face their own inner demons or something like that.

I've beaten 3 fucking countless times. I can completely auto pilot it from start to finish. Such a good game.
Need to replay 2 and 1 again at some point. Don't really wanna replay 4 though cause it's pretty tedious.

Are there any downloads for complete soundtracks from SH1/2/3? Ambient tracks and all.
Michael Barnes
Silent Hill 2 for story and charactares
Silent Hill 1 for spookyness and atmosphere
Silent Hill 3 for cute waifu
Thomas Murphy
I still don't understand the symbolism behind this. Loneliness? Privacy? Suicidal thoughts? Overdose?
Adrian Jones
Heather’s agressive mensturations
Gabriel Rogers
>Silent Hill 1 for spookyness and atmosphere
>spookyness
>spooky
It is beyond spooky, it's literally terrifying and horrifying. Yes, it gives you a sensation that something is hiding in the dark, but instead of ambushing you, it's slowly and slowly coming towards you, unable to tell what it is until you see how horrible and disgusting it is.
Easton Hall
Don't belittle SH3 like that. It follows the same kind of clangy, bloody, rusty, noisy horror that SH1 did but like 2x more. It now also just stars Harry's daughter as the MC.
Alexander Baker
toilet monster got 'em
Hunter Torres
Do you mean the first location in SH2? The apartment blocks? Damn user you need to man up, you haven't even seen the real spooky stuff yet.
Easton Harris
>Silent Hill 3
>Puzzles
Lmao which ones ?
Adrian Thomas
yeps it's most likely this
the entire game is about heather's pregnancy fears and other general female only fears made physical and twisted into grotesque forms
the game is more enjoyable if focus is applied solely to the plot rather than the symbolism, though the symbolism itself can lend to an extra level of intrigue
like how the first boss is a massive penis worm with teeth
Joseph Turner
>implying
You know what the entire series REALLY is about
Kevin Green
The hard mode puzzles in SH3 are pretty difficult. Like you have to know Shakespeare pretty well to get past the first keypad door in the book shop.
John Morales
>that book store puzzle on hard
Are the other puzzles this bullshit on hard? Because you need like multiple goddamn college degrees to figure that shit out.
Oliver Bennett
You should play SH1 first.
It's superior AND scarier game.
Easton Scott
heh that asshole is still posting his tripe?
i mean wasnt all that stuff taken off the wiki?
jesus chirst that nigga needs to be locked up
Michael Green
No. The Shakespeare one is the legendary show-stopper in the entire series.
Ayden Jackson
>The wiki admin that though basically everything was a reference to circumcision
>He banned anyone that didn't agree
What a nut.
Tyler Hughes
dont forget the number code "puzzle" from 2
Michael Hall
Well I was just talking about the number of puzzles actually. There's so few of them. Getting into SH I was expecting more of them actually. I get they break the flow of gameplay, but it's not like SH is non stop action either.
Josiah Lewis
Not everything has to symbolize something. Sometimes its just a bunch of blood on a fucking toilet
Ryder Roberts
Can’t be afraid of getting pregnant, if you aren’t getting the odd hot load thrusted into you. You know what that means...
I like that Heather is not a “muh pure” to be honest. She has gotten sticky with a few lads, no doubt about it. Too pretty.
William Evans
>The one in 3 for a keypad where the "puzzle" is describing a man basically ripping a woman's face apart with his fingers and teeth and where the blood flows down on her face
Super unsettling but pretty perfect for the situation
Actually thinking about it I agree. Most of the puzzles in SH3 are key hunts. There's only about 4 riddle puzzles in the book store keypad, the above mentioned hospital keypad, the morgue number lock and the church tarot card door. All pretty difficult on Hard.
Joseph Hughes
Sexual frustration
Luke Perry
I bet her b0ssi has freckles too. And dark soft hair.
William Powell
oh was it from 3? i guess i need to replay them
it's been a while
Colton Lopez
There's the one with the alarm clock as well, or diverse environmental puzzles (in the metro, or the roller coaster), but exploration is kinda tedious for me because of these assholes.
I wish we had something like SH2 Born from a wish, where the whole place is a giant puzzle
Aiden Powell
naw i bet her hymen is still intact, which is why the penis monster manifested in "her silent hill"
Jack Rodriguez
Slurpers aren't very intimidating, I wish they stuck with the Closer more.
Hunter Flores
I was just counting the "riddle" puzzles. Also I don't remember what the alarm clock puzzle was like on Hard. Was there an added riddle instead of just looking at the time?
Easton Lewis
Slurpers are super intimidating if you're in a hallway. Plus their sounds are horrible. Not as horrible as Pendulums but up there.
Dylan Gomez
I find them just annoying. Unnerving from afar but frustrating from close on
Iirc it uses 24h time instead of regular am/pm
Well regular for Americans I guess, because we just 24h time in my country.
Adam Brooks
I know Silent Hill is supposed to be the 'best' one, but I really dislike the lack of enemy variety.
Sometimes I get real edgy/analytical and wonder if it was intentional, James has to fight the mannequins and lying figures the whole game and eventually you're not scared of them at all. They're actually weak to you, which fits the whole theme of 'James is a big strong man not scared of weak womanly monsters' but I think it's mostly just laziness.
Silent Hill 3 is kino.
John Ross
>the same kind of clangy, bloody, rusty, noisy horror that SH1 did but like 2x more
That's why it's not as good
Chase Diaz
So, compared to the origonals, is Silent Hill 7/Biohazard any good?
Jeremiah Lopez
Honestly I think SH Origins was totally, unabashedly, okay SH game. Not that awe-inspiring, but absolutely not bad either. Also, its place in canon is pretty much believable, albeit felt a little bit forced.
Matthew James
It's alright, kinda dull
Isaac Nelson
My favorite thing about the series is how the Otherworld seems slightly different for each game.
>Silent Hill 1 is a world rusted and decayed, filled with industrial machines. Symbolic of Alyssa's physical conditions and how she is kept alive cruelly.
>Silent Hill 2 is a dark and decayed world filled with water and constant downward movement. Heavily implies feeling trapped or being filled with dread, and also hints at the "In Water" ending.
>Silent Hill 3 is similar to Silent Hill 1's otherworld, but it also features a lot of living things encased or trapped in boxes or walls (a womb), plumbing and piping, and often living or bloody walls. All themes with pregnancy.
Shame the series died. I would have loved to see how they would change it up with other characters.
Isaiah Mitchell
I liked a lot of it's ideas and areas, specially the theater. The hospital and the sanitarium were a little too similar though and the sanitarium went for far too long. Wasn't a fan of being able to "control" the otherworld though.
Liam Davis
It was fine for a handheld entry, maybe shouldn't have been a prequel/related to the other games or had so many elements that seemed more inspired by the movie than the games
Austin James
Origins is not only a fugly and clunky as fuck trash with terrible writing of its own, it also is a complete and utter lore-rape when it come to its attempt to be the "origin story" of SH1, and thus the entire series.
Luis Phillips
Why does everyone hate Homecoming so much?
The monsters have some symbolism, the bosses are cool, and even though they had to include Pyramid Head at least they changed him up a bit to make him 'fit' a little better.
Ryan Rodriguez
I don't think I ever killed a single pendulum, I always just run from those cunts.
Joseph Turner
Me neither. Only when I got the unlimited SMG in NG+ and killed everything.
Cameron Murphy
Bentley Wilson
its shit m8
Adam Walker
Why didn't Team Silent let us protect her smile?
Connor Parker
You're a pussy.
Gabriel Anderson
The most accurate post in the thread
Jason Perez
At least she dragged Kaufmann to Hell with her.
Jose Sanchez
>I like that Heather is not a “muh pure” to be honest. She has gotten sticky with a few lads, no doubt about it. Too pretty.
You don't know that at all. She could be the complete opposite of what you said. Her fear of pregnancy was most likely Alessa's subconscious fears.
>Inb4 the hangover she mentioned.
I know 3 girls that I was personally very good friends with in college that liked to drink and go out but always went back to their shared apartment together with no guys because they weren't into hooking up.
>Inb4, they were ugly.
Only one of them was
Ian Watson
Origins would have been a really worthy SH game if it had just been about Travis and his issues. I genuinely liked
>I wasn't sleeping, son. You knew I wasn't sleeping.
Zachary Thomas
Because Sup Forums's SH fans love ghosts and hate industrial wastelands that's why they worship SH4 and P.T.
Justin Hall
SH1 already had that monkey monster that was quite violent and threatening. SH2's weak monsters are likely intentional, only Pyramid Head was supposed to be threatening.
Owen Torres
>Why does everyone hate Homecoming so much?
Shit gameplay.
Trash story.
Literal The Movie ripoff design.
UFO ending is a normal ending.
That being said, it's not quite as bad as Origins or Downpoor.
Robert Ross
Christopher Morris

Christian Anderson
I enjoyed some of the designs in Homecoming. I didn’t like it very much, but it was better than Downpour in my opinion. I also like some the music.
Grayson Myers
>they worship SH4 and P.T
no they don't lol
William Myers
Gotta put the Origins somewhere.
David King
4 is better than 3
even though i understand the underlying themes of 3 i just cant relate to it
Andrew Perry
I think I enjoyed the gameplay of Silent Hill 1 the most. Although, I enjoyed all of the weapons and Magical Girl Heather from SH3; SH1 still has some gameplay options and mechanics that I like a lot.

I prefered the level design of SH1. It felt a bit more compact. In SH3, the amount of locked doors is insane

Alone in the town is top tier

Not anymore, Ito altered the design. Also the wording of that translation is fucked, it sounds like they're saying Pyramid came after.
Kevin Carter
>it sounds like they're saying Pyramid came after.
Canonically he did. He is just the hell version of the cult's executioners. Valtiel is the very first creature from the otherworld and the robe worn by the cultists and Pyramid head is based on the piece of flesh that Valtiel wears around his body. The robe is very important for the lore because it shows the cult worshipers were dressing like their Gods just like Egyptians used to do.
