Re: Which ending do you prefer?
Posted: 13 Sep 2013
I like all of the endings a lot.
If I had to choose one as my favorite; it'd be the Good ending.
I like the thought of Harry overcoming this horrific scenario, but not without loss.
That's what Silent Hill is to me: a fine blend of conflicting emotions. It rings within your soul... a steady tone of hurt & understanding.
So, in the Good ending we have Harry going through all of this to lose his daughter, although he still leaves with a child.
Also, Cybil is killed. Don't get me wrong, I really adore Cybil.
She's Harry's only real ally; a comforting stranger. So when she dies it hurts bad. It might be shallow-ish, but I feel like that really rounds out the experience.
I do, however, like reading about these old theories where Harry is trapped in a loop (I wasn't a fan until 2009). I find it so fascinating. I view it like so: if Harry saw Dr. K use Aglaophatis on the Lady in White, then maybe in Next Fear, the next loop, Harry gets the subconscious notion to use the red liquid on a possessed Cybil.
