UFO ending *complaints*
Okay, just finished Homecoming for the first time. Was dissapointed in the beginning but the game got better halfway through and the final boss was bad ass. However, I got the UFO ending!!! I was looking forward to SOME closure on the storyline (as much as Silent Hill will allow.) Oh well, guess I'll have to play it again... Any endings you recommend since I will be replaying with this in mind?
Also, why are there no game stats? I wanted to see how many baddies I slaughtered and how often I used each weapon and such. Not even a total time? Boo.

I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?

The Great Knife beleives the UFO ending was poor. Even Wheeler thought so. The Great Knife is also sad no end game stats were given...are we not worth it Double Helix?!
Respect the Pod, you should go through the game once more at least cuz now you have access to the uber Lazer Gun , The Great Knife prefers to call it the Nappy Gun though

I already started. The Laser gun is a little over-powered though. IS there a super-hard mode or is normal and hard-mode it? I'm replaying on hard and it ain't much harder...
Oh, and the circular saw sucks balls.
Double Helix was super-lazy in finishing this game.

There are only the two difficulty settings.
Personally, I don't feel much closure with any of the endings. Two of them (No Dogs Allowed and Judgment) are joke endings, two are plot twists (In Water and Intensive Care) and then there's the Smile! ending, which is also the happy ending, but it's just boring.
I'd aim for Intensive Care. Simply because Smile! is too similar to the UFO ending and out of the other endings, Intensive Care fits the best.

The Great Knife agrees with Damn It All, being able to get the UFO ending on the first run through is quite rediculous, especially since it is indeed way over powered...even on hard mode some monsters fall to 1 shot i beleive. Those being new to the series would most likely wonder wtf is going on if they acheive that ending first.
The Great Knife also agrees that the circular saw sucked the big one...The Great Knife misses the SH1 chainsaw so very very much .
The only real ending The Great Knife enjoyed was the "Boogeyman" ending, as well as the costume bonus for acheiving it .
Side note: comparing Pyrimid Head or even The Red Pyrimid to the Boogeyman is totally lame and degrading.

Egg-zactly! My girl watched me play the whole game, had never seen any of the games before. Not only did she see one of the weaker instalments in the series, but also one of the most retarded endings. It was worth a yuck, but not 7-8 hours of gameplay worth it.I know this has been said before but its absolutely ridiculous that you can get this ending on your first go. Imagine the reaction to people who were introduced to the series through this game?

I played it with my girl too and the only other silent hill game she was exposed to was Shattered Memories. "We" played this one together as a way for me to show her how awesome silent Hill can really be and I ended up with the UFO ending...she was like "WTF?" all confused and I had to kind of explain it to her. now she wants to replay it to get a better ending. It should have been a little more difficult to get the No Dog's Allowed ending so that casual game players can have a better experience to reinstate faith in the series. Because lord knows we need a REAL Silent Hill sequelRespect the Pod wrote:Egg-zactly! My girl watched me play the whole game, had never seen any of the games before.

What did you guys do to get the UFO ending on your first playthrough?
PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER_SHOW PRIME_BBCODE_SPOILER:
Don't shoot Lillian, Don't forgive Adam and save Wheeler.
I got this ending on my 2nd playtrough and yeah, it's silly, just like the other SH UFO endings.
I think the UFO ending is only funny if you've read Wheeler's canon journal beforehand, because at least then there's irony to it. It was kind of a lame ending.
I went for Smile! first because I'm really finicky about getting canon endings first, then went right for UFO for that laser pistol so I could tackle everything else. I was just sad that it wouldn't carry over to Hard mode with me. Would've come in handy.

Sorry! I didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news. But, yeah, I was a little disappointed myself. I got so used to playing through the game with the pistol that I was so lost without it when I went after hard mode. I got through it, but it was tough.
