Thank you so much! I literally used to watch your videos growing up that's so awesome to see a comment from you. This put the biggest smile on my face! 🥰
I love that they reward you for all the hardship you go through to get the hyper spray. It’s like “you’ve seen everything anyway, so here’s an OP item to go have some fun with. You’ve earned it”
it IS a hilariously awesome unlock however this is something I would've enjoyed much more in my childhood. as an adult once I've unlocked everything I don't see a point to continue, the satisfaction is in the challenge. When I was a kid it didn't bother me to waste time but time is so much more precious to me now, no time for pointless overpowered unlocks.
@@GawdlikeMatt you say it was pointless, however we have video evidence of you practically wetting yourself laughing while using it, which is kinda the point 😂
@@GawdlikeMatt I felt like that unlocking the hand cannon and infinite ammo and whatnot in RE4 when I was younger. By the time you get it you're burnt out and over playing the game in general haha.
I remember my friend telling me that in the HD Version, the black screen during the loading lasts longer than the actual loading, that's why enemies could cheaply hit you as soon as the image appears on the screen
I played this game 10 times. It hardly froze. And I got the platinum. People should actually play the game and not regurgitate memes. Konami even patched the game.
@@Cetra29 unless you have played the original version for comparison you are most likely not going to know all the differences that make it an inferior version of the game. the issue is not just that the game freezes or crashes.
By the time you're ready for your ten star run you've already beaten the game six times so it's not as intimidating as it sounds, although the save and damage restrictions are pretty tough.
@@stanleyl0_0l definitely, I was glad SH3 didn't require a ten star run to platinum because with how unstable that game was it sounded very challenging to do on two saves.
Fun fact, you CAN get an ending by simply contradicting the others instead of focusing on one. For example, I was able to get the Maria ending by going against leave AND in water at the same time. Idk the why but I guess it goes "well, Maria is the one you went against the least so... You got that one!" It can help alot
I tried that on PS2 to get the Maria Ending, but I got In Water instead. I never got the Maria ending, I tried to do what's required, but couldn't make it, and the game always gave mi In Water. I have HD remaster, but I never got a PS3.
@@vagabundorkchaosmagick-use2898 to be more specific, I interacted with all the walls and journals that affected the in water ending, BUT I never stayed at too low health. I also think I "examined" all the items that would affect ALL the endings. At first I was just trying to see what would happen, but it ended up giving me the Maria ending.
That's because the endings start with a certain bias with a point tally. There are things you can do to add to the tallies for each ending, and things you can do to take points from each tally. If you have already completed one ending, the other two (this only counts for Leave, Maria, and In Water) will have an extra point from the start. If you've finished two endings, the last one will start with 2 extra points. And I see that many people recommend repeating certain actions that contribute to each ending. The conditions are things like keeping low health or bumping into Maria. However actions like examining the knife only count once. There is a minimum tally for each ending and if you reach that minimum (which can be a negative number) it won't go lower. If you finish the game with two endings that have even scores, it weights by preference Leave>Maria>In Water.
Me, too. I remember when I bought it at a Toys 'R' Us. Had no clue what the hell it was. I just had some cash, and saw a dude on the back cover with a shotgun. Woah, was I surprised...nothing at all what i had in mind. became a bit obsessed Probably my best gaming surprise memory
TH-cam algorithm recommended this video and I'm glad it did. I'm a big fan of these platinum journey videos and u covered easily on of the most difficult. Hope to see more of this!
Outsiders and interlopers couldn’t possibly understand an accomplishment of this magnitude. Thanks for this, living vicariously through your achievement has lowered the likelihood of putting me in a mental hospital again compared to trying this on my own.
This is one of my favorite games. I never tried the platinum run because I’m a saver. Just two saves throughout a play through would be hard for me. And the time would be an enemy.
You know you don't have to shoot Pyramid Head, you can literally run around him, keep doing that and he'll leave, avoiding him in the maze, and at the end
Holy cow what a specific Plat. What fun it was learning about everything required for it. The dedication you had to map out and perform all these runs is insane. 💪
There are very few games I'd play through seven times just to platinum but this was one of them. I didn't find the platinum that bad except for the green hyper spray trophy (in other words the ten star run), which I actually used a pen and paper for to track my kills and med pack usage 😂
So I watched this video after my multi attempt to do this (I failed each time in different aggravating spots) watched this thereafter, and got through it pretty much without too much difficulty thanks to this video. So yeah. Thank you. This video wasn't just a fun thing to see someone attempt but it made it possible for me to do without having to find multiple videos on it. I'm late to the video but since I just got the plat this morning, thanks! You inadvertently helped me get it! This was the bane of my existence for about a decade.
Man this is actually one of my favourite videos of yours it's just soooo good. As someone who is going to tackle this soon I wonder how my theory for the boat will play out.... Hmmmmm W video!
Getting 10 stars is one of my proudest gaming acheivements. For anyone else who wants to attempt this, I did a test run and counted all the damage I took on that run as I felt this was the hardest part of the run:- I ended up with 408 points of damage which was far below the 500 requirement and got hit by the following:- Lying Figure (spitter) - 10 times Creeper (cockroach) - 3 times Nurse - 4 times Hangman - 1 time Eddie (Shot) - 2 times Eddie (Punch) - 1 time Hotel Doorman - 5 times Mannequin - 1 time It was actually a lot more lenient than I was expecting
I've got only a single trophy left to get - but now that it's taken down off PSN, I'll never be able to finish the plat. It's the Hyper Green Spray I need. Hardest challenge left hanging forever. In my restless dreams, I see that game. Silent Hill 2. I promised I'd go back there again someday. But I never will.
@@ant2901 there’s no achievements in the PC version, also the remake wasn’t that bad at all you have the choice of the original voices, everyone who says it is terrible it’s just an elitist
I review this video a lot as a motivation to get the platinum trophy. It was exactly as hard as I imagine it but with a lot of patience and effort I was able to get it two days ago. Thanks for all the advices Matt Great narrative
It's not the controller. It's the fact that on the PS5 you were streaming the game while on the PS3 you were playing the game in real time Streaming adds latency which was most likely the reason why you were failing whereas there was 0 latency on the real hardware when you were playing it
Never finished a 10-star run of SH2 or SH3 but still on my “to do” lists, especially since I did it (twice) for SH4 to unlock “All Weapon” mode. Turn the flashlight off either before entering a room or immediately open the inventory upon loading into a room and manually turn it off (if the radio is buzzin’). It’ll buy you an additional second before the enemies realize your presence and attack.
@@GawdlikeMatt I’d say it’s nice more so for time just so you don’t get spit/slapped on every time you go thru one of those hallways. Damage isn’t thankfully too bad, but honestly I would’ve settled with anything more punishing than dealing with the fucking boat lol Interesting the Ps5 controller wasn’t reading inputs right. Has that happened with other games or specifically that part?
34:00 I like to think this feeling would be comparable to you getting to ceremoniously run the bases after clutch hitting a homerun in the last inning to win the final game of the World Series
SH2 ost is such an absolute banger. Right now I'm working on getting the platinum for Dead Cells and I've found that to be the most difficult one I've done so far.
Loved reliving your best (and worst) SH2 Platinum moments Matt! 👌 To everybody that wants to attempt Silent Hill 2 Platinum don't forget to check out GawdlikeMatt's Guide here: th-cam.com/video/DHB2COHU1_g/w-d-xo.html For all trophies. th-cam.com/video/9lH3fcOcT48/w-d-xo.html For the 10-STAR guide. And as a bonus I'll repost my personal tips: Alright folks, some extra advice for anybody cuckoo enough to attempt the 10 stars and Platinum: Some of you may know that Konami in all of its glorious stupidity gave the Silent Hill Remaster to a bunch of monkeys, that in turn made the game have various issues, one in particular is a really annoying black screen after you come out of the inventory or go through a door where the game STILL RUNS in the background. So in order to not strangle a cat by taking unfair damage that you couldn't even see, do the following: -1: Everytime you go through a door, have a handgun equipped and IF you hear the loud radio noise like an enemy is really close immediatelly aim and shoot, don't think, don't wait for the screen to clear up, JUST DO IT! that should give you enough time to stun the atacker and figure out from there. -2: Before entering dangerous rooms equip the Shotgun, If the space you're entering is small its better to shoot once before the screen finishes loading (AKA the hospital rooms) just in case an enemy is on top of you in that annoying black screen. -3: The Hunting Rifle is unnecessary, however it excels at taking out the "Big Daddies" enemies in the Lakeview Hotel because of its Range and piercing ability really helping in the big hallways. Consider picking up if you took a lot of damage already and need to do the Hotel as safe as possible. 4: In the "Flesh Lips" boss fight you should never stop moving, even after coming out of the inventory after a reload, always keep him at a distance before going in the menu, don't get cocky thinking you can shoot him more than twice without putting yourself at risk. 5: Puzzle difficulty changes after you've beaten all the Riddle levels. You can know in wich difficulty you are by paying attention to the coin puzzle, if the answer is: Space-Oldman-Space-Snake-Prisoner you're on Hard mode; If its: Old Man-Space-Snake-Prisoner-Space You're on Extra riddle. Both are valid for the 10 Star Rank. 6: To quick reset at anytime (really useful at the boat) Hold select + start + shoulder buttons to get back to the menu. You won't be able to do this if you're playing through PSNow using a PS5, then again if you are, you're already screwed on the boat anyways because the PS5 controllers and streaming delay makes it so that its near impossible to achieve under 1:20 min. Good luck, you're gonna need it. 🤞
Now that takes some patience and strong will. Even when it comes to playing the masterpiece which is Silent Hill 2 so many times in line. Congrats on the platinum!
for anyone who would actually like to attempt this platinum I have a step by step full playthrough of my ten star run if anyone would like to follow along during your own playthrough, it may prove helpful. th-cam.com/video/9lH3fcOcT48/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GawdlikeMatt
Play the game on a ps2 and on a CRT tv which is the intended way to play. The HD remaster is the worst way to play the game, they mostly took out the fog they put a lot of the writing in comic sans and they paved the roads to look new.
@@chickenwings6172 Yes I am aware of this, you are absolutely right that's the best way to experience the game. I however wanted to experience the game as well as earn trophies so I suffered the shittier experience.
It's my first video on your chanel and I enjoyed it a lot! Glad you finally got this plat. Now I want to see complete playthrough XD Wish you luck with future "platinum-projects"!
I got the Plat for that game. The most dificult part for me was the part on the boat where in Hard dificult you have to use the sticks to paddle. I advise a save right before the Eddie fight
You really don't have to be that strict with Maria to get the Maria ending. Just don't examine your wife's photo and check in on her a few times in the hospital
On ps 2 the Maria ending is so ridiculously hard since Maria can't take ANY damage (cutscenes obviously don't count) and pyramidhead will almost always deal some on her in the hospital basement, unless you glitch yourself between her and it.
On Hard Mode, I didn't even know you could get to the elevator by just running before Maria would die. It wasn't too difficult to constantly stun Pyramid Head, though. You just shouldn't use a firearm, because Maria dies from one accidental shot at her.
The most difficult challenge im facing in this platinum is trying to leave the first bathroom, James simply doesn’t walk, he keeps stuttering and i tried EVERYTHING that i could and he just simply doesn’t walk properly, making the game unplayabe
I’ve never played ANY Silent Hill games. I have the collection on my Series X and I keep putting it off. This gives me motivation to actually play it and beat it. A game having SIX ENDINGS? That’s absurd but also very in depth. Thank you sir.
@@MultiKamil97 bruh do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to get your hands on a copy of silent hill 2, not only that a Ps2.. a remaster would get rid of that completely
One of the best games ive ever played! Platted this game and yes it is insanely difficult. Make use of the cloud save for the hard mode run. I ended up going through an extra playthrough because i didnt follow a guide properly so BE CAREFUL. USE A GUIDE FOR THE ENTIRE PLATINUM GUYS
Meh ... i don't have this platinum ... but to tell you the truth , it sounds more like a hard chore than a hard platinum. It's one of those Platinums that if you play the game long enough you will get it eventually. So, when you classify a platinum being hard, take into consideration things like -> will a n00b eventually get the platinum if he plays and learns all the game details? i think the answer to this question is YES, and we have the living proof of this. Now... it's another story for games like Sekiro or some online games, why? because a n00b can't just learn what to do in the game you need reflexes to beat those bosses or other players in online games. And you can't just overpower bosses with level. So picking up items? picking up all those books? getting over the river in less than 1:20 sec? finish the game in a short time? Meh... all of these are doable EZPZ after you just learn the game and finish it a few times.... Is it doable in games like Sekiro? Neh. Not the same thing. So, SH2 platinum is not hard per-se, it is just one of those harder chores. chore a routine task, especially a household one. a tedious but necessary task.
One thing that will help with the pyramid chase in the hallway with Maria. When you first get into that room wait until Maria goes into a waiting animation then run for it... then pyramid head will be chasing you with Maria behind pyramid head and she will not be hit at all by the pyramid.
@@GawdlikeMatt yea I never seen anyone do it online I accidently figured it out one day sitting in that room while i was browsing the internet looking for tips but found nothing. But it works every time. Too bad there's no good tips for the boat section lol. But congrats on the platinum.
Hey Matt, congratulations again on getting this Platinum! I'd play this collection to play Silent Hill but I don't think it's on Playstation NOW anymore especially now that they merged with PS Plus.
I confirm that it is quite a challenge to get this platinum trophy. And as they said here, twice or triple as complicated in the "broken" hd edition, with endless glitches (you can't imagine the *terror* of not knowing if the game freezes, gets stuck, after the first save. . . 2 max). Another part that was quite complicated for me was the phase of the boat… and arriving on time; keep track of kills with targets and firearms, not taking too much damage, the time limit to finish it, etc. It is one of the platinums that I am most proud of having achieved -around 2011/12- although I suffered that "remastering" of ps3.. Infinitely better was the ps2 version I played in the early 2000's! Thanks to the fact that I'm in love with Silent Hill (especially the 4 games made by Team Silent), I wouldn't have attempted this challenge otherwise. Congratulations on the achievement. 🏆✌🏾🔦📻
Part of the problem with those loading straight into damage rooms is that's one of the many MANY issues with the HD collection. That issue doesn't occur in the original releases. (Another is the ambiance was harmed by removing a lot of the debris and details like that from many locations in the game... well not so much "removed" as "not yet present" because the HD collection was made from a beta version of the game.)
At the Maria part, and I have to imagine, but will add edit amendments if wrong, the endings aren't as hard to get as you think. The proximity to Maria wasn't important, rather, for that ending the strat is to collect all the items in the streets afk just outside the hospital then when she's sick in bed visit her like 2-3 times, you're set. So long as you don't complete the ritual items, visit Mira or examine the knife like 40 times. lol
10:33 this is tricky because I'm someone who likes to discover every nook but i didn't get these items 😮 ( i picked up 258 items on my 1st playthrough )
Damn, nicely done. I remember quite well my attempt at the 10 star ranking on the ps2 version. The PH chase sequence at the hospital is the worst! As for Eddie, one Great Knife slash suffices to make him run through the door and 2 slices in the big room did the trick for me 👍
Great video man, I love how in-depth this is, and it got me nostalgic for SH2 again. I would just prefer if the background music wasn't so loud, as good as the ost is it's hard to hear you sometimes
4:23 His face after the "In Water" ending. lol. Imagine that being the first ending you get, organically, the first time you played the game in 2001. Thinking that is the ending that you're *supposed* to get. My face looked like that, too. #besthorrorgameever
NICE RE2 BOX THING BROTHER. P.S. For anyone who wants to give this game a go for the first time in the year of our lord 2023 there's a really good fan megapatch called SH2 Enhanced Edition that fixes basically all the PC issues plus updates it to work with widescreen and such well, it's the optimal way to experience the game now short of a cursed PS2 setup on a CRT in some abandoned warehouse
Fantastic video. I admire your determination. This is my favourite game of all time, and I think I've played through it 30 times and always got the Leave ending lol.
You have great taste. My first playthrough wasnt that long ago and before i decided to go for the platinum all i could think was how amazing of a game it was. Also thank you for the kind words 😊
@@unsungdog yes this was from the hd collection, aka the ps3 version, however last year it was available on playstation now so i was able to play it via my ps5 which was what I did for a time.
If you guys enjoyed this video I'd really appreciate if you checked out some of the other full platinum experiences on my channel, some of my other videos aren't nearly as successful as this video and they could use some love. They have the same level of quality and effort as this video I can assure you! but if not that's cool & no worries. Thanks! If anyone's interested this is the playlist th-cam.com/play/PLyguyJ3ImbbINaAZe9pOQQd7ay0FlOisA.html
I was 19 when this came out... I'm glad i was there for the golden age of gaming. I spent many hours on this game and found almost everything, back then there weren't any gaming guides online. If there were i had no clue about it, in Darby pa no one had internet until 2010 cause we was po. We sold the other o and r cause it was that bad. But i have great silent hill 1 2 3 and even the room nastalgia.
Big tip for the first pyramid head boss fight, just run to the corner furthest away from the door and do nothing, give it sometime and he'll leave. which saves bullets and health/health items.

As someone who is going to tackle this soon I wonder how my theory for the boat will play out.... Hmmmmm
W video!
Getting 10 stars is one of my proudest gaming acheivements.
For anyone else who wants to attempt this, I did a test run and counted all the damage I took on that run as I felt this was the hardest part of the run:-
I ended up with 408 points of damage which was far below the 500 requirement and got hit by the following:-
Lying Figure (spitter) - 10 times
Creeper (cockroach) - 3 times
Nurse - 4 times
Hangman - 1 time
Eddie (Shot) - 2 times
Eddie (Punch) - 1 time
Hotel Doorman - 5 times
Mannequin - 1 time
It was actually a lot more lenient than I was expecting
That's interesting to see it written out in front of you like that. Maybe I shouldve kept count of who hit me and how many times
I finished my run with 408 points of damage as well. Unfortunately, my boat time was way over 1:20 😔
Amazing video!!! I admire your determination! I just love how SH2 is so detailed and elaborate. I wish they were more games just as complex
I couldn't agree more, we don't see games quite like this nearly as often. Also thank you
@@GawdlikeMatt agreed! And also no problem. Keep up the great work!
Hopefully the new Silent Hill game coming out will have learned from its predecessors. Games in the early 2000's were probably the best of all time.

@@GawdlikeMatt I’d say it’s nice more so for time just so you don’t get spit/slapped on every time you go thru one of those hallways. Damage isn’t thankfully too bad, but honestly I would’ve settled with anything more punishing than dealing with the fucking boat lol
Interesting the Ps5 controller wasn’t reading inputs right. Has that happened with other games or specifically that part?
34:00 I like to think this feeling would be comparable to you getting to ceremoniously run the bases after clutch hitting a homerun in the last inning to win the final game of the World Series
haha, nowhere near THAT exciting but it made for a good laugh 🤣
SH2 ost is such an absolute banger.
Right now I'm working on getting the platinum for Dead Cells and I've found that to be the most difficult one I've done so far.
Loved reliving your best (and worst) SH2 Platinum moments Matt! 👌
To everybody that wants to attempt Silent Hill 2 Platinum don't forget to check out GawdlikeMatt's Guide here: th-cam.com/video/DHB2COHU1_g/w-d-xo.html For all trophies.
th-cam.com/video/9lH3fcOcT48/w-d-xo.html For the 10-STAR guide.
And as a bonus I'll repost my personal tips:
Alright folks, some extra advice for anybody cuckoo enough to attempt the 10 stars and Platinum:
Some of you may know that Konami in all of its glorious stupidity gave the Silent Hill Remaster to a bunch of monkeys, that in turn made the game have various issues, one in particular is a really annoying black screen after you come out of the inventory or go through a door where the game STILL RUNS in the background. So in order to not strangle a cat by taking unfair damage that you couldn't even see, do the following:
-1: Everytime you go through a door, have a handgun equipped and IF you hear the loud radio noise like an enemy is really close immediatelly aim and shoot, don't think, don't wait for the screen to clear up, JUST DO IT! that should give you enough time to stun the atacker and figure out from there.
-2: Before entering dangerous rooms equip the Shotgun, If the space you're entering is small its better to shoot once before the screen finishes loading (AKA the hospital rooms) just in case an enemy is on top of you in that annoying black screen.
-3: The Hunting Rifle is unnecessary, however it excels at taking out the "Big Daddies" enemies in the Lakeview Hotel because of its Range and piercing ability really helping in the big hallways. Consider picking up if you took a lot of damage already and need to do the Hotel as safe as possible.
4: In the "Flesh Lips" boss fight you should never stop moving, even after coming out of the inventory after a reload, always keep him at a distance before going in the menu, don't get cocky thinking you can shoot him more than twice without putting yourself at risk.
5: Puzzle difficulty changes after you've beaten all the Riddle levels. You can know in wich difficulty you are by paying attention to the coin puzzle, if the answer is: Space-Oldman-Space-Snake-Prisoner you're on Hard mode; If its: Old Man-Space-Snake-Prisoner-Space You're on Extra riddle. Both are valid for the 10 Star Rank.
6: To quick reset at anytime (really useful at the boat) Hold select + start + shoulder buttons to get back to the menu. You won't be able to do this if you're playing through PSNow using a PS5, then again if you are, you're already screwed on the boat anyways because the PS5 controllers and streaming delay makes it so that its near impossible to achieve under 1:20 min.
Good luck, you're gonna need it. 🤞
Now that takes some patience and strong will. Even when it comes to playing the masterpiece which is Silent Hill 2 so many times in line. Congrats on the platinum!
thanks dood, and yes I can confirm that it definitely did
for anyone who would actually like to attempt this platinum I have a step by step full playthrough of my ten star run if anyone would like to follow along during your own playthrough, it may prove helpful. th-cam.com/video/9lH3fcOcT48/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GawdlikeMatt
How are you playing silent hill 2 on ps5?
Ps now doesn’t have it
@@lewispooper3138 not now it doesnt but it did a year and a half ago. hopefully it will come back
Play the game on a ps2 and on a CRT tv which is the intended way to play.
The HD remaster is the worst way to play the game, they mostly took out the fog they put a lot of the writing in comic sans and they paved the roads to look new.
@@chickenwings6172 Yes I am aware of this, you are absolutely right that's the best way to experience the game. I however wanted to experience the game as well as earn trophies so I suffered the shittier experience.
The first time I beat this game I got the suicide ending because I accidently examined the knife. Not knowing that I had doomed myself.
It's my first video on your chanel and I enjoyed it a lot! Glad you finally got this plat.
Now I want to see complete playthrough XD
Wish you luck with future "platinum-projects"!
Thank you dood, very happy you enjoyed the video 😊
I got the Plat for that game. The most dificult part for me was the part on the boat where in Hard dificult you have to use the sticks to paddle. I advise a save right before the Eddie fight
Bruh I started laughing out loud with the Green Spray can.
It is a very funny weapon indeed
You really don't have to be that strict with Maria to get the Maria ending. Just don't examine your wife's photo and check in on her a few times in the hospital
16:44-16:59
Shadow The Hedgehog after witnessing Maria getting shot by G.U.N.
On ps 2 the Maria ending is so ridiculously hard since Maria can't take ANY damage (cutscenes obviously don't count) and pyramidhead will almost always deal some on her in the hospital basement, unless you glitch yourself between her and it.
On Hard Mode, I didn't even know you could get to the elevator by just running before Maria would die. It wasn't too difficult to constantly stun Pyramid Head, though. You just shouldn't use a firearm, because Maria dies from one accidental shot at her.
The most difficult challenge im facing in this platinum is trying to leave the first bathroom, James simply doesn’t walk, he keeps stuttering and i tried EVERYTHING that i could and he just simply doesn’t walk properly, making the game unplayabe
Some serious dedication to make this vid so I have huge respect for you, also one of my favourite games ever so I love this!
I’ve never played ANY Silent Hill games. I have the collection on my Series X and I keep putting it off. This gives me motivation to actually play it and beat it. A game having SIX ENDINGS? That’s absurd but also very in depth.
Thank you sir.
If you want a genuinely good experience I recommend you switch the controls.. the game gives you the option to switch up any button in any way
Great job! I never would have imagined what it would be like to go for this platinum, but this at least showed me it's possible!
algorithm took me here. congrats for getting the Platinum!
Wow this was amazing. Awesome job, loved the video!
Been lovin your content recently, hope you continue to grow!
For the boat part, it’s the lag I’d think cause you were streaming it. Proud of ya tho, damn nice on getting close to it.
This is so sadistic, it's like if Bluepoint added No-Hit Run to the trophy list in the Demon's Souls remake
Having just played this game recently this video was amazing to watch. Good job on the platinum dude. Btw how did you play the game on PS5?
This is a great video, never thought this game's platinum would be so brutal. Love the commentary though man
thank you, glad you enjoyed it
I recently played Silent Hill 2 on hard mode and completed the boat part in 01:14:53. I didn't know how lucky I was until now
Can’t wait to see the new trophies in the new remastered version
you mean remake, and yes I cannot wait as well!
@@GawdlikeMatt I fuckin wish it was a remaster
@@joaquinbadman9678 Why? Even If you won't like the remake, the original one will still be here to play.
@@MultiKamil97 bruh do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to get your hands on a copy of silent hill 2, not only that a Ps2.. a remaster would get rid of that completely
@@joaquinbadman9678 Hmm. PS2 may be a problem indeed. On PC it's easy because you can download a PC version or just play a PS2 version on an emulator.
I remember doing all that when I played the game back when it first came out. God I loved this game.
One of the best games ive ever played! Platted this game and yes it is insanely difficult. Make use of the cloud save for the hard mode run. I ended up going through an extra playthrough because i didnt follow a guide properly so BE CAREFUL. USE A GUIDE FOR THE ENTIRE PLATINUM GUYS
Meh ... i don't have this platinum ... but to tell you the truth , it sounds more like a hard chore than a hard platinum.
It's one of those Platinums that if you play the game long enough you will get it eventually.
So, when you classify a platinum being hard, take into consideration things like -> will a n00b eventually get the platinum if he plays and learns all the game details?
i think the answer to this question is YES, and we have the living proof of this.
Now... it's another story for games like Sekiro or some online games, why? because a n00b can't just learn what to do in the game you need reflexes to beat those bosses or other players in online games. And you can't just overpower bosses with level.
So picking up items? picking up all those books? getting over the river in less than 1:20 sec? finish the game in a short time? Meh... all of these are doable EZPZ after you just learn the game and finish it a few times....
Is it doable in games like Sekiro? Neh. Not the same thing.
So, SH2 platinum is not hard per-se, it is just one of those harder chores.
chore
a routine task, especially a household one.
a tedious but necessary task.
One thing that will help with the pyramid chase in the hallway with Maria. When you first get into that room wait until Maria goes into a waiting animation then run for it... then pyramid head will be chasing you with Maria behind pyramid head and she will not be hit at all by the pyramid.
Oh wow really? That sounds like a neat trick
@@GawdlikeMatt yea I never seen anyone do it online I accidently figured it out one day sitting in that room while i was browsing the internet looking for tips but found nothing. But it works every time. Too bad there's no good tips for the boat section lol. But congrats on the platinum.
@@Meadows66 thanks dood
I'm glad TH-cam recommended this to me. I really enjoyed this video and feel your pain I'm trying to get all the achievements on Xbox. 👽
Nice dood, respect. Best of luck man!
As a longtime Silent Hill 2 fan, I'm very happy I watched this.....CONGRATS!
Hey Matt, congratulations again on getting this Platinum! I'd play this collection to play Silent Hill but I don't think it's on Playstation NOW anymore especially now that they merged with PS Plus.
yeah it's not there anymore but hopefully it gets brought back at some point on the new PS+, also thanks again dood
@@GawdlikeMatt Yeah, they could add it again, if they do, I'll keep a lookout for it. You're welcome.
Amazing video dude. Great job!
thanks dood
I confirm that it is quite a challenge to get this platinum trophy. And as they said here, twice or triple as complicated in the "broken" hd edition, with endless glitches (you can't imagine the *terror* of not knowing if the game freezes, gets stuck, after the first save. . . 2 max).
Another part that was quite complicated for me was the phase of the boat… and arriving on time; keep track of kills with targets and firearms, not taking too much damage, the time limit to finish it, etc.
It is one of the platinums that I am most proud of having achieved -around 2011/12- although I suffered that "remastering" of ps3..
Infinitely better was the ps2 version I played in the early 2000's!
Thanks to the fact that I'm in love with Silent Hill (especially the 4 games made by Team Silent), I wouldn't have attempted this challenge otherwise.
Congratulations on the achievement. 🏆✌🏾🔦📻
Part of the problem with those loading straight into damage rooms is that's one of the many MANY issues with the HD collection. That issue doesn't occur in the original releases. (Another is the ambiance was harmed by removing a lot of the debris and details like that from many locations in the game... well not so much "removed" as "not yet present" because the HD collection was made from a beta version of the game.)
Hats off man, nice job gunning for this madman platinum.
Congrats on the platinum, and sorry you had to play the HD version of SH2
Yeah i wish i could've enjoyed the original instead, also thank you
Damn what a champ! Well friggin done my dude!
10 stars run was the most hardcore, but I was pretty happy about unlocking the platinum for it
At the Maria part, and I have to imagine, but will add edit amendments if wrong, the endings aren't as hard to get as you think. The proximity to Maria wasn't important, rather, for that ending the strat is to collect all the items in the streets afk just outside the hospital then when she's sick in bed visit her like 2-3 times, you're set. So long as you don't complete the ritual items, visit Mira or examine the knife like 40 times. lol
Fun fact: i was able to track down the synth samples Akria used to make several songs on the sh2 soundtrack 👌
I got the Maria ending playing normally. All I did was not read / look at Mary’s letter and check on her at the hospital.
Mad respect sir, that was incredible.
10:33 this is tricky because I'm someone who likes to discover every nook but i didn't get these items 😮 ( i picked up 258 items on my 1st playthrough )
Damn, nicely done. I remember quite well my attempt at the 10 star ranking on the ps2 version. The PH chase sequence at the hospital is the worst! As for Eddie, one Great Knife slash suffices to make him run through the door and 2 slices in the big room did the trick for me 👍
It took me a month to figure out where to use that damn channeling stone, then how to trigger the ending in stumbled into by chance!
Great video man, I love how in-depth this is, and it got me nostalgic for SH2 again. I would just prefer if the background music wasn't so loud, as good as the ost is it's hard to hear you sometimes
It takes balls and perseverance man. Congratulations.
Thanks dood
The implication of finding the spray in an abandon trailer...
Wow I knew there was different endings but I did not know the platinum was this involved. Awesome info
Love this fkn vid bro, just finished my first play through now I’m wondering if I should take up the challenge
I don't think it was the ps5 controller but the fact you were streaming it. There is actually quite a bit of input lag playing PS3 through PS now.
Congrats!! :D
Thank you!
I played SH2 on Xbox OG and I got the in water ending with full hp and I just had to read all the suicide messages and look at the knife constantly
4:23 His face after the "In Water" ending. lol.
Imagine that being the first ending you get, organically, the first time you played the game in 2001. Thinking that is the ending that you're *supposed* to get.
My face looked like that, too.
#besthorrorgameever
Haha you read my mind like a book 😂 I totally understand your sentiment
That actually was my first ending!
I'm waiting on a hard drive to replacement to my PS3 and I will definitely try this one, always wanted to play silent hill 2
Best of luck dood, its a great game
Great content man, I just found your channel. Subscribed!
I remember playing this game on the ps2, I think it took like 5 play throughs to get the cannon ending (the doggo in control) 🤣
NICE RE2 BOX THING BROTHER. P.S. For anyone who wants to give this game a go for the first time in the year of our lord 2023 there's a really good fan megapatch called SH2 Enhanced Edition that fixes basically all the PC issues plus updates it to work with widescreen and such well, it's the optimal way to experience the game now short of a cursed PS2 setup on a CRT in some abandoned warehouse
Fantastic video. I admire your determination. This is my favourite game of all time, and I think I've played through it 30 times and always got the Leave ending lol.
You have great taste. My first playthrough wasnt that long ago and before i decided to go for the platinum all i could think was how amazing of a game it was. Also thank you for the kind words 😊
Great to see, congrats man.
Thanks dood
@@GawdlikeMatt How did u play SH2, the HD Remaster?
@@unsungdog yes this was from the hd collection, aka the ps3 version, however last year it was available on playstation now so i was able to play it via my ps5 which was what I did for a time.
@@GawdlikeMatt oh ok, yeah I was confused how you streamed it, but that makes a ton of sense.
Does anybody know the name of the song that starts around 13:56 ? Thank you
"Alone in the town" From Silent Hill 2's OST
@@GawdlikeMatt thank you very much 🙂
If you guys enjoyed this video I'd really appreciate if you checked out some of the other full platinum experiences on my channel, some of my other videos aren't nearly as successful as this video and they could use some love. They have the same level of quality and effort as this video I can assure you! but if not that's cool & no worries. Thanks!
If anyone's interested this is the playlist th-cam.com/play/PLyguyJ3ImbbINaAZe9pOQQd7ay0FlOisA.html
The PS5 controller letting you down must have been extremely frustrating to learn
oh it was, but i was more relieved when i found out there was a solution
20-ish years ago, I remember I got the Water ending, and it must have been because I sucked at it.
Congratulations brother lol, I will try to get this platinum!!
best of luck dood! and thank you
Wow. What a ride! Great work!
Thanks dood
I was 19 when this came out... I'm glad i was there for the golden age of gaming. I spent many hours on this game and found almost everything, back then there weren't any gaming guides online. If there were i had no clue about it, in Darby pa no one had internet until 2010 cause we was po. We sold the other o and r cause it was that bad. But i have great silent hill 1 2 3 and even the room nastalgia.
Big tip for the first pyramid head boss fight, just run to the corner furthest away from the door and do nothing, give it sometime and he'll leave. which saves bullets and health/health items.
Loved the video, hope you do one for Silent Hill 3 as well
