Silent Hill Heaven

Okay, if I remember right, Kauffman shows up in the good endings to throw Aglophatis at Alessa and release the demon from within Alessa. Now Kauffman I think was part of the cult's plan to bring the demon into Alessa and have her birth their new god. Maybe I'm forgetting something here, but why did ...

Murphy's goal is pretty obvious from the get-go. Not only is he trying to evade the authorities after the car accident, but he's also trying to escape town. Pretty much all there is to it. Which would be easy except that all the roads and ways out are blocked (and even if he did try to just walk ou...

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but I gotta ask... (not sure if spoiler or not) Why is this scene called "Lisa's death scene" in a lot of places online? Lisa died long before Harry even met her, and we even see Lisa after this scene dragging Kaufman down in the good endings (I always thoug...

The game says I'm 65% of the way through at this moment. And through it all, one thing remains unclear to me: What is Murphy trying to do all this time? It's not there there's any goal of his really, as far as I can tell. Also, I'm dying to know what this weird portal thing is that's chasing me... A...

That actually makes it better. There is only so much you can add to a story before you actually ruin the game. Personally, I kinda wish the sequels never added anything to SH1 and just did their own thing... except I AM a huge fan of Alessa to be honest. I liked Alessa, too, although not a HUGE FAN...

Man, if they go and make another Silent Hill game that tries to connect to Alessa's story, I'm going to flip tables. I liked Downpour for going and doing its own thing, even if it could have done some things better (like every other Silent Hill game, really). That actually makes it better. There is...

Sorry, I just assumed everyone here knew about it. It's the Ushinawareta Kioku (Book of Lost Memories) an official guide to explaining some of the mysteries of Silent Hill written by the developers. It doesn't spell everything out, but it does answer many questions. You can read the translated vers...

Tillerman: First of all, what guidebook are you referring to? The strategy guide? Also, almost NOTHING in Silent Hill 1 is "explicitly stated anywhere" which is why I loved the first two games best since it made you put the pieces together yourself. It kinda bothers me that later Silent Hi...

I don't try to... it kinda happens automatically. I know they're not connected but it's kinda like an automatic connection. Maybe cause I have such a big thing for Alessa or something like that.

Even if a Silent Hill game is a stand alone game, mentally I ALWAYS try to connect it to Alessa's story... even if I know it's not supposed to be. It's just automatic. Been doing that since SH2, where I played through asking myself "What the HELL does this have to do with Alessa?"

My understanding is that Alessa had control of the otherworld, and was able to manipulate things there. It was after Alessa was stricken with the Flauros that she lost control of the otherworld, which is what nowhere is to begin with... just a mishmash of pieces of the otherworld that Alessa used to...

Yeah, I just found out what it was. I reckon it's not the big secret after all.

I have the game on emulator on my PC. I don't remember where I found it (and posting a link may be against TOS anyway). Though before anybody gives me hell about it.... I DO have the original Silent Hill disc and I'm looking at it right now... (and no I won't part with it).

Just now got hold of Downpour and just got past the part where I'm at the police station trying to stop the patrol cars (dont think that's a spoiler of any sort). My best friend told me this game sucks (though he's more of a Resident Evil fan) but so far it seems to be pretty good... though in the D...

I didn't like the combat system. It made me more angry at the game than anything. Couldn't get taken in by the atmosphere, story, or sound effects because the combat system seemed a bit clunky. Alex is a military man. He should be able to swing a damn weapon and do some basic hand to hand combat stu...

To be honest, I kinda saw it coming. Then the first thing I did was try to make a connection to the first SH game... as if this is the way Alessa / Cheryl remembered the first game happening. I guess I didn't get emotional because my father and I had some... uh.... problems I don't wanna go into at ...

Ah, this is the reason I have a low res CRT television sitting behind my HD flatscreen tv in my gaming room. Playing the game on my HD tv seems to make the game worse since it better details the things that the CRT tv wouldn't. Also, playing on a CRT tv kinda adds to the kinda vintage feel of the ga...

Likewise, alternate endings and changeable environments aside, Shattered Memories was built in such a way that it could really only be played once. Once you're through it, you know you're safe in the real world, you know when the Otherworld will show up, and you know the ending twist. That's the th...

In short, I don't consider Alessa to be good or evil.... just HOT Wow... your post was pretty serious-sounding, and then that. And wait, did you just call Harry a dumbass? Haha. Yeah, I actually found Alessa to be my type of girl, and for some crazy sick reason, I had an attraction to her the whole...

I never thought of Alessa as good or evil. I mean, yeah she didn't WANT to be some demon possessed mother of god type being, but the fact of the matter is.... she was. She did evil things, tormented people (who may or may not have deserved it), but she did love her father (even if he was a dumbass)....
