Hello Carci, Silent Hill 2 is one of my favorite video games of all time, I think it's cool that you did this, I've been watching your runs for a while now and have to say you are the best Survival Horror player I've seen. Keep Strong Carci.
I started playing SH 2 a year I mean I've played every single game before ,well not origins and SH room but I know just as soon as I get these game people like you pop up coincidentally,and that fact I picked up a year ago and you're video is a couple of days after my first trophy, coincidence no why would you just all of a sudden want to play Silent Hill,why so you beat the game in a hour big whoop but guess what it's not about that and you will never understand, and I will never accept you're knowledgeable or lore.
Lordy, Mary reading her letter to James at the end breaks me every time. Voice actor did a fantastic job because you can really feel the pain in her voice.
Cutscene @18:57 bugs me, he is carrying a long ass pole, so instead of using that to easily knock the keys over to where he can pick them up he struggles like an idiot and fails after being stepped on.
I really enjoyed Silent Hill 4 the room, other then questionable level design and the obnoxious unkillable ghosts. It has one of my favorite plots for a video game. And I actually enjoy the gameplay. Tedious but somehow rewarding. Especially if you get 10 star rank.
Laura moves around Silent Hill so easily because its theorized she does not manifest the monsters in her reality. perhaps she is pure, unlike James, Eddie and Angela
Great work sir, just watched the entire vid on the sofa with a hangover and it was amazing. I remember this game taking me bloody ages as a kid, getting lost everywhere and constantly opening the map. Seeing you breeze it was great.
The actor who played and voiced James said that his personal ending to the game would be the "Leave"-Ending, where he leaves with Laura. While the japanese director pobably aimed for the "In Water"-Ending to be the most canon one, as Mary's body apparently is inside the car at the start of the game and that sort of is a japanese suicide thing, it was explained like that by the actor of James.
Guy Cihi later changed his mind about the leave ending as he decided it wasn't the most realistic outcome and decided that In Water is the most realistic outcome for James....also i believe In Water is the canon ending as in Silent Hill 4 James dad Frank gives Henry a picture and when Henry examines it he says that Frank gave it him and that Franks son and daughter-in-law went "missing" in Silent Hill so of all the SH 2 endings the in water ending is most likely
@@PlanetNateGaming Does Silent Hill 4 really count though? It was a completely different game just called The Room before they decided to rename it Silent Hill to up the sales.
strategy guides are kickass because they contain the data you don’t have to keep in your head at all times. just plug in the useful data to the thing you’re trying to apply it to, and see what happens. :D
@@CarcinogenSDA I still have a lot of my old guides going back to DKC trilogy on SNES all the way up to MGS3 on PS2 :). No harm in using a good visual medium to help you. I like a lot more than GameFAQs, although I will use GF if I can't find a guide in PDF form on emuparadise (theres a script that still lets you grab guides, check reddit) and archive.org.
I've been speedrunning this game alot and even tho I do it on easy, some of your tricks still help out! I play it on my PS2 with no mods n such... just straightforward. My best time now is 50min 11sec!🥰 Always like to see if I can beat a past best time. Not sure if I can beat this time, but somehow end up doing better! I'm addicted haha! Thanks 😊
Looking at what was linked in the pinned comment, the ending is picked based on whatever has the most points depending on player action, favoring endings that have not yet been achieved if there's a tie (favoring "In Water" if there's a tie and all endings have been achieved). Each ending starts with a different base total of points that can go either up or down depending on certain criteria. "Leave" starts at 5 points and seems very 1st blind playthrough likely (gain points by healing to full and having "wasting" some potential healing of the item, and looking at certain notes takes points away from the Maria ending, making this one much more likely if a player is constantly healing and looking at everything, like a new player is more likely to do. "Maria" starts at 3 points, and mainly gains points by being nice to Maria (not running off without her, not bumping into her, not letting her get hurt, checking up on her when she's left before, trying to re-enter rooms where she died, etc). The Maria ending has by far the most ways of gaining points for it, but also losing points for it (some examples being examining Mary's letter or directly harming Maria yourself). "In Water" starts at 2 points, and while I agree with Carci that it seems by far the hardest point-based ending to get, it still feels like the "Leave" ending to me where you could get this one just by stumbling into it by looking at things. The most prominent feature of this ending is that you gain points for having a "bad health score", which pretty much means "the amount of time spent at 50% Max HP or lower". The longer you don't heal, or can't heal, the higher your total "bad health score". So a player that gets hit a lot and never has healing items, or saves healing items until they feel absolutely necessary to use, is more likely to get this ending. And while no ending is canon, Pyramid Head's designer stated that he designed it with the "In Water" ending in mind, given James's desire to be punished for what he's done. The game also prominently features flooding and water-based obstacles, such as in the first Pyramid Head fight where it walks into the flooded staircase after the fight before letting you continue. I find it interesting that this is most likely the hardest ending to get, but seemed to be one with the most things foreshadowing to it. I don't know the precise point totals for this run, given I don't know which of the algorithm-based requirements were met, or what the first ending achieved was (given we can see it says "endings: 2/4" on the result screen), but from I can tell this run has these point totals: * Maria - 6 points (3 base, 1 for time spent near Maria (reported bugged in the linked Ending Mechanics, which the author stating: "This number will always count up when Maria is not with you. So most of the game.", 1 point for not bumping into Maria more than 3 times (only counts if she goes "oof", which as far as I can tell only happened once), and 1 point for not taking any damage.) * Leave - 5 points (5 base. I don't think using those three med kits got us enough "healed in excess" total for another point, but I think this is the ending that Carci already got on the file, which would give the Maria ending an extra point over it anyway. Even if they were tied, it would still go to Maria if that ending hasn't been seen) * In Water - 2 points (2 base. We definitely didn't spend enough time at 1 HP after the Pyramid Head cutscene to get a point for health score, and we didn't look at any of the items or messages that boost this ending either.) I was honestly expecting the Leave ending watching this, given we spend of the game booking it as fast as possible away from Maria and never checked on her, but I guess the Maria ending is the easiest one to boost through inaction, so it still makes sense that this is where it landed. Great run Carci, hope you're doing well :D
wow i actually never drew that connection between the flooding and the in water ending. makes me wonder if the entirety of Silent Hill 2 is just purgatory. the only sense i could make of why Laura is there is that she died from whatever disease she had, such that she'd be in the same hospital as Mary.
I always enjoy watching your videos/runs!! I learned a lot about my older favorites by watching you. I appreciate you letting cut scenes play also....so many do not.
Hey Carci, following you since GDQ on RE7, I really really love your videos, you are a great speedrunner and entertainer, wish you the best, continue the good work please :) I've always been fascinated by no damage runs :D
I actually laughed at that. I was like "yeah, you though your punishment was over? Think again" No one ever escapes Silent Hill. Once you enter, there's no turning back.
I forgot how well made the intro of the game is done, when that gold music tunes in and you feel the character melancholy, masterful display of game design

@@vicentegeonix In it's time, it was one of the best looking games ever. It's unrealistic and unreasonable to expect it to look like a modern game. Even so, it still holds up pretty well. The dark gritty and grimy textures work expertly for the developers intended atmospheric effect.

i stumbled upon your channel looking for gameplays of RE2 Remake. ive been watching a lot of your videos since then. i dont have a decent pc or a console so watching you play is the best thing ever.
These videos are great, thanks for the strategies. SH1 was a pain with the enemies constantly respawning, but your strategies helped a lot. Good luck with SH3 and those damn Slurpers.
I love how he goes into that wardrobe with his light on to hide, even though it's literally a slat door, that's toddler level hiding skills right there
Wow. Took me three days but I finally finished watching this run. Mary's final dialog crawl actually wrecked me. _you'd better do something about that cough_
I remember I had the demo to this game back before it came out, and I got a few minutes in to a dark alley with some babies coming towards me and I slapped the power button on the playstation and went outside xD
I feel they really captured Eddie's madness in this story. This Silent Hill is by a long shot my favourite part in the series, purely because of how psychological the themes were, they hit hard and they hit deep.
I love your videos Carci you are humorous and I laugh at every joke you make and I can't wait to see your run for resident evil 2 remake I know I'm going to play it once it comes out.
Great video brother! Damn I wish they would bring this series back. I would say maybe they should remake this like RE2, but it's so good I don't think they could capture the horror like they did in this one. Truly epic and horrifying.
Eddie's use of the word 'your' shouldn't be bugging me this much, but damn, that made the final release. Great playthrough as always, really enjoy the commentary and presentation of the videos!
oh my godddddd you can strafe in this game??? i've been handicapping myself the whole time, makes the fights SOOOO much easier, along of course with your guide thank you so much!
2:08:05 Interesting how you did the abstract daddy fight, after you said you weren't using the greatsword through the playthrough I knew you'd use the shotgun exclusively here. I found a super consistent way to do him is with the sword, you just sprint back into the right (your right) corner and use a fast sweep, then a heavy attack, then 2d run to the left corner and to the otherside and finish him off with 2-4 shotgun shells (it rarely takes up to 4, but about 50% of the time it's only 2 shotgun shells).
Holy hell, what a game. I forgot how good it is, and how odd as Balls it was too. Never played the first game but I picked this game up just for the hell of it and took forever to beat it cause the damn riddles were hard to understand( I had no internet back then and being young you know?). But Man this game is goooooood. You pointed out the Wall thing, I didn't noticed til you mentioned it and watching /listening to this with headphones made me laugh a lot whenever i heard a BAH-DONK! sound. One other thing you mentioned was the amount of dead space in this game. This was another thing that I couldn't figure out if I was going the right way or not. The fog and darkness felt like I was running FOREVER, Super Mario 64 endless stairs style. Good show man, you played well and made this game great to watch/listen too.

"Theorized" That's literally how it works canonically
If Alessa was still alive Laura would've been screwed. Luckily the former isn't, albeit reincarnated as Heather/Cheryl.
Whoa.. The cutscenes in this game were absolutely impressive! Especially for the PS2 at the time.
* Man clearly sick, dying while vomiting in the toilet

@@devinponder6072 Like i said, is not perfect and even near perfect is false and that's it. Stop trying so hard to be right sir you are not.
i stumbled upon your channel looking for gameplays of RE2 Remake. ive been watching a lot of your videos since then. i dont have a decent pc or a console so watching you play is the best thing ever.
Didn't spect Silent Hill videos here. Now I like your channel even more.
These videos are great, thanks for the strategies. SH1 was a pain with the enemies constantly respawning, but your strategies helped a lot. Good luck with SH3 and those damn Slurpers.
not looking forward to them
I've really been hoping to see you play through this for a while, delighted to see you did and looking forward to watching!
Hearing your commentary and the beautiful soundtrack is just something else
I love how he goes into that wardrobe with his light on to hide, even though it's literally a slat door, that's toddler level hiding skills right there
Wow. Took me three days but I finally finished watching this run.
Mary's final dialog crawl actually wrecked me.
_you'd better do something about that cough_
I remember I had the demo to this game back before it came out, and I got a few minutes in to a dark alley with some babies coming towards me and I slapped the power button on the playstation and went outside xD
oh sorry, yes it was a Silent Hill 1 demo for sure that I remember. good call!
Lmao same
BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR THIS!! LOVE YA MAN!!
Rewatching this gem because I am on a SH kick lately. Carci slayin' as usual! ;3 Well done!
Wow man I think i'm in love your play style. It's very neat & descripted 👍
Dude! Bro! Thanks a lot for this excruciating hard work!! Love your art and love ya bro 🙂
Carci always a pleasure watching your vids 😎👍
I just saw the whole gameplay, man it was so good, wp bro!!
I feel they really captured Eddie's madness in this story. This Silent Hill is by a long shot my favourite part in the series, purely because of how psychological the themes were, they hit hard and they hit deep.
That spoken letter part for the ending was really well done. Choked me up at times myself.
Maria: coughs
James: aw shit, here we go again
Amazing runs with all cutscene,dialogues and cinematics,awesome tecnical gameplay too. cheers from Brazil. I love to listen Eddie Crying voice haha
Love the Silent Hill content Carnigen
Saw the trailer for the remake, figured you had a run for the OG , good work as always.
Ooh I'm gonna enjoy this!! Thank you for this!!
This is crazy I love your videos!
I love your videos Carci you are humorous and I laugh at every joke you make and I can't wait to see your run for resident evil 2 remake I know I'm going to play it once it comes out.
Thanks carci, great content! Love the vids!
Nice Carci. Quality content, as ever.
36:22 That scene with Angela creeps me the hell out.
She talks like she is high
This game really is a masterpiece though. So hard to find games like this, let alone horror games. It strikes you on like every core
Eddie just beat the meat... damn this is deep lmao
Ive been binge watching all your videos, I haven’t and don’t plan on playing this...but its great
Your videos are my new bed time ritual
Great video brother! Damn I wish they would bring this series back. I would say maybe they should remake this like RE2, but it's so good I don't think they could capture the horror like they did in this one. Truly epic and horrifying.
Yeah me too, but only if the original team silent get to develop the game, anyone else would just ruin it
I dunno why but james bumping into walls combined with that sound effect just cracks me up every time.
This games soundtrack is a godamn blessing... that intro song really gets you into the mood.
I love watching your play throughs and was wondering if are gonna play the HD collection with the new voices? Would love to see those videos. 🥰
i should
28:15 it's a chaise lounge!
~the more you know~
:)
Eddie's use of the word 'your' shouldn't be bugging me this much, but damn, that made the final release.
Great playthrough as always, really enjoy the commentary and presentation of the videos!
One of the best survival horror games of all time
Thanks! Helped me ALOT and got my 0 damage Mostly because of this! :D
Best walkthroughs ever.please do walkthroughs of the parasite Eve series
Your videos are so helpful thank you
My favorite SH played by my favorite runner! Thx Carci :)
OLjoe 79 this sounds like a donation comment from agdq
greetings from germany
kick cancer’s butt for such a great cause!
That butterly commentary just adds to this walkthrough
Thanks a lot for your help mate.
This is a despairing game, not a horror game.
@@Mitchincredible dread is just a specific type of fear though, the fear of something which will/might come/happen
Waiting for Silent Hill 3 run, that is my first and most played SH game after all :D I did a no damage run as well, with the unlimited UZI lol
I love you’re channel 💜💜 and love your voice
Ahh I love it when you do commentaries
13:41 I like that Carci spoke exactly as James looked up.
oh my godddddd you can strafe in this game??? i've been handicapping myself the whole time, makes the fights SOOOO much easier, along of course with your guide thank you so much!
2:08:05 Interesting how you did the abstract daddy fight, after you said you weren't using the greatsword through the playthrough I knew you'd use the shotgun exclusively here. I found a super consistent way to do him is with the sword, you just sprint back into the right (your right) corner and use a fast sweep, then a heavy attack, then 2d run to the left corner and to the otherside and finish him off with 2-4 shotgun shells (it rarely takes up to 4, but about 50% of the time it's only 2 shotgun shells).
0mG total hard the riddles too about time to see these blasted puzzles!
The ambience in the game is top notch
Holy hell, what a game. I forgot how good it is, and how odd as Balls it was too. Never played the first game but I picked this game up just for the hell of it and took forever to beat it cause the damn riddles were hard to understand( I had no internet back then and being young you know?). But Man this game is goooooood.
You pointed out the Wall thing, I didn't noticed til you mentioned it and watching /listening to this with headphones made me laugh a lot whenever i heard a BAH-DONK! sound. One other thing you mentioned was the amount of dead space in this game. This was another thing that I couldn't figure out if I was going the right way or not. The fog and darkness felt like I was running FOREVER, Super Mario 64 endless stairs style.
Good show man, you played well and made this game great to watch/listen too.
i started playing this on ps4 a few years ago via ps plus and loved the game ever since
I didn’t realize you had a SH playlist I can’t wait for the remake.
This game was one of the first that really got to me i love psychological horror games and as a teenager this game was and is my favorite of all time
James just dumping his hand, not even rolling up his sleeve in that filthy toilet is definitely one of the scariests part of this game
Love your stuff. Any plans for re2 remake in the future for your channel?
my gosh! i have never seen this ending! It broke my stone heart! SUBLIME!!!!
Me, @ other play throughs: DUDE YOU'RE HURT, OMG IT CHASING YOU, RUUNNNN
Me, @ carci's play through: horror, panic? What are those lol
Hey great video. Your videos are entertaining and help me get to sleep lol. Any plans to do the rest of the silent hill series?
little plans beyond SH4 but i’ll look into it
