If you look inside of your car on the first game mary is being covered in a blanket in the backseat dead. James didn't kill her years ago or died 3 years ago. More like 3 hours ago. So as a wish james did bring her to Silent Hill.
Silent Hill 2 is more than just a horror game, but also a cautionary tale of trauma and mental health - that even the most regular of us can be pushed to a breaking point, pushed more and more into the darkness of human psyche which is far scarier than any monster out there. James Angela and Eddie were all tormented spirits, but sadly Eddie and Angela were too consumed by their pain and trauma to come back. I'm glad James made it out but i don't know what's in store next for him but I can only hope that he can begin to heal his spirit. I'm glad Silent Hill 2 remake was a success, this story is such a scary and evocative experience that more people deserve to experience. I wonder what's next in store for silent hill series
That ending is sad, yes. But also realistic. What I love most about Silent Hill 2 is how it knows how to deal with subjects like abuse, pain, grief. And, for me, this remake managed to do an even better job than the original.
This is the Leave ending, which is actually the "Happy" ending of the game and the easiest one to get. The In Water ending is considered the true ending by the developers.
@@Rocket1377 Can we stop spreadning misinfo. It's never stated they consider in water ednding the true ending. Water ending is supposed to be the sad ending lmfao.
@@cleit1802 While I agree with you that it is true that there is no canon ending for the game, ppl draw this conclusion because A) the Art Director has said it’s one of his preferred endings (along with Leave) and B) the game’s novelization chose In Water as it’s ending. I think the only 2 you could really consider as canon are the two Ito mentioned, Leave and In Water. And some people don’t think James should “get away clean” after what is basically murdering his wife. Based on just the game itself, I’d argue Leave is the canon ending, because James accepts his guilt/the truth at the end and Mary wants James to live in her letter (though, she did write this before he strangled her). I prefer the In Water ending myself personally.
@@marwynthemasterful6369 I absolutely do not like water ending. James also does not get to leave for free. He went through hell. Mary wasn't a complete saint in the sense that she did say she wanted the pain to end and also lashed out at James. What james did has no defence, but none of the 3 characters have such a "just bad" situation, Eddie was bullied, Angela raped. Also novel said Mary was in the car's trunk, safe to say it's not a completely reliable source. I think leave and water are the canon endings you're right. But I don't like water because it accomplishes nothing for the character of James. No lesson learned. He just kills himself out of guilt and missing her. Which won't solve anything because like the text in the wall said, it's likely he won't go to the same place as her. I just think in water is a cope out ending. "Oh he deserves it! so he dies!" what a cope out to such a complex situation and character. I think back in the day it'd be unique. But lately i've read so much stuff where it happens that it just makes me dislike it. Him coping out of having to confront laura, Mary saying that he has to live on and what he has done is so distateful. Angela kills herself. We kill Eddie. And James just kills himself in the lake?
As someone who played the original multiple times, watched lore vids on the original, I can say Bloober Team nailed it with the remake, tho I like to think this is less a remake and their own interpretation of SH2. Watched your entire playthrough, it's a very difficult story to get through, and when it was first release, the subjects touched on in SH2 were considered taboo for its time. Absolutely amazing job, Bloober Team and as always, very nice playthrough!
While he is the mascot of Silent Hill. Hopefully this will remind the writers and Directors of future titles, the purpose of Pyramid Head. The creator's fear has come true and Pyramid Head is over exposed. He was created by James solely to punish him
really glad you played this, one of my favorite experiences in gaming. i suggest reacting to the other endings of the game though, cause this isn't the canon ending. also, you should check out the uncharted games, one of naughty dogs best, and my personal favorite francise.
James began to hate Mary, because of the disease. What he did was wrong, (the smothering), but he also put her out of her misery. Plus she asked for it.
Exactly. The ending is complicated and multi-layered, where you can read into James's emotions differently. He loved Mary, but a part of him did also hate her, because she was a burden to him and dragged him down constantly, verbally abusing him and mistreating him. It's understandable WHY she treated him that way, but it's just as understandable why James began to resent her so much, to the point he eventually killed her. Was it to end her suffering and spare her any more pain? Or was it out of pure, unrelenting hatred for her? It's up to the player to read it in their own way.
idk if it's a good thing or bad, but they changed maria from a product of james's mind to more or less a crazy stalker. it's not bad, but since i'm so attached to the original, i'm not sure how to feel about it.
I know this is a rough game (In terms of its story) but I really hope you enjoyed your first experience with a Silent Hill game. Thanks for the awesome playthrough Jade! Edit: I got the In Water ending which is even sadder. I think it would be cool if the next video you do is a reaction to the other 7 endings possibly? Request: I would LOVE to see you play Alan Wake, Control and Alan Wake II. I think you would love them and the stories are very good if not kind of confusing at the same time but they are all soooo good. I would say just AW and AWII but Control is apart of the universe.
Here’s my understanding. Silent Hill is different depending on the trauma and guilt a person is facing. You can see this when James asks Laura what’s she doing here. She replies “ huh? Are you blind or something?” It’s as if to her the town is a giant playground because that’s what the town is projecting itself to her alone. It’s almost as if she so innocent she shouldn’t be punished. It’s like there’s one true version of silent hill but it’s projected to everyone differently. This is supported when James sees Angela in the burning stairwell. After James acknowledged the fire Angela says something about “ you can see it too? it’s always like this for me.”
Silent Hill is nothing Like Resident Evil, nothing Like the Last of Us is Nothing like anything but what it is SILENT HILL, stands on its own, always will!
55:30 AJAJJAJAJAA Translation: The game is over, simps, I already played your game, now give me your money so I can play the trendy game I've finished nowAJAJAJAJAJJAJA
Yes, one day James loved Mary. But he admits in so many words that he got tired of her and started to hate her. I can't understand anyone defending James, he was completely selfish. He killed Mary at her most fragile moment, even though he knew she wouldn't live much longer. She even says she didn't want to die.
She clearly says in this ending, “I told you, I wanted the pain to end”, followed by James saying “Yeah, you did”. But James also admits he did it for himself, when he took Mary’s life.
I mean, this whole game shows that James deeply regrets what he did, in the the end, we are shown that even if part of James hated Mary, once he killed her, he deluded himself into thinking she had died 3 years ago because he actually also loved her. When James told Mary he hated her at the end of the game, Mary asks "then why do you look so sad", that line serves the purpose of showing us what James truly felt at the end of the day. Im not arguing whether James was a good or bad person but there is no doubt that he loved Mary and that he still does. Feelings are not as simple as love or hate, you can feel both at the same time.
He had both feelings at once. he loved her and honoured her request for a Mercy kill, but part of him also resentet her due to her becoming abusive towards him after she became sick. Both feelings where true at once. In the end James owned up to his negative feelings, to the point of claiming that they where his main motivation. To which Mary then quite sensibly points out, that he CLEARLY still deeply loved her since he is so fundamentaly emotionaly shattered by what he did. James main motivation depends on the ending you get, which depends on your playstyle. There are other endings in which James clearly didnt care for Mary in more then a superficial way, the "Maria" ending especially, but in this ending what he did was mostly a mercy kill, just with some build up resentment in the background
No one's defending his actions - it's more that we try to understand. It's impossible for us to say we would do anything different. I can't imagine seeing the woman I love slowly lose herself day by day nor could I imagine what that would do to her. I don't think it's wrong for you to feel the way do however, since James for sure feels worse about it.
She also said she wanted to die, and she was going to die, no matter what. It's hard to view James as a cold-blooded killer since what he did could be viewed as merciful. I don't hate him, especially since he spends the entire game punishing himself for his actions.

This is why Silent Hill 2 is such an iconic title. It's way more than a horror game.

We are, at our worst, our own monsters. However, we are, at our best, able to forgive ourselves even if that seems impossible.
Yes, it seems that SH2 tells the story of 3 people going through a spiritual "hell", they are repeating traumas and issues until they wake up.
All the feels, great job Jade! You felt everything exactly as the original creators intended, you have my respect!
That ending is sad, yes. But also realistic. What I love most about Silent Hill 2 is how it knows how to deal with subjects like abuse, pain, grief. And, for me, this remake managed to do an even better job than the original.

You should definitely react to the alternate endings.

Yes, thats James' monster and James only, all the other apprarances are just cash grab garbage
True love, as written in religions, is unconditional, not the love of a couple. That is why many people are frustrated by conditional love.
"For me, it's always like this."
Such a haunting line, even from the original.

This has been such a spooky and amazing ride thank you for bringing us along jade 👻👻
Thank you for joining me on this journey!! 🙌
The ending teaches that love is not a fantasy. It's conditional. And thats ok. We're all independent creatures who need & want.

He loved her but he did begin to hate her. Both things can be true. It was a messed up situation ☹️
She didn't ask for it. There is no evidence that she asked for it. James never said she did, it was never stated in any of Mary's letters.

Agreed! It'd be cool to see your reactions to the other endings!
It's hard to recover after playing this depression simulator but it's totally worth it. Masterpiece
Why did you edit out your saves?don't want to sound like im being sus or anything haha but why would you edit out the save points lol

This game does not have anywhere near the *soul* of the original Silent Hill 2 unfortunately. You can't catch lightning in a bottle twice.
What soul?
