  Thank you for this. This retrospective made me nearly as emotional as the actual game 💔

  Much like I never tire of playing the game itself, it never gets old hearing how it touched someone else and in turn shaped their life. SH2 truly is a masterpiece.

  it's so good when you're in the hallway, you reach the end as soon as Mary says "don't' come back!", then there's a pause. The idea is that James did leave IRL and couldn't listen to her calling him. That's why it's so important to listen through to the end. You see Mary's actual struggle.

  After years of watching people play this game. I came to a conclusion that the town isn&apos;t a malignant force. It wants to help these people heal and if that fails it&apos;ll give you what you want. A way out. <br>Both the Leave and in Water ending can work out in this way. Both for me feels like the canon &nbsp;ending. Because we as players are James and he is us.<br><br>Angela&apos;s walk up the stairs is for me one of the most powerful scenes I&apos;ve ever seen.<br>Also James sitting on the floor the elevator after Maria&apos;s death. Such sense of details in both of these moments are so awe inspirering.<br><br>Finally the voice actor for Mary delivers such a gutwrenching performance in both the hallway and the reading of the letter in the end. Always makes me tear up.

  Silent Hill 2 is the only game that&apos;s over 20 years old that still gets a good amount of videos made. I have not seen so many different takes on this unique experience.

  My first memories of Silent Hill are the images I saw in promotional posters. It was my friend&apos;s game informer or ps magazine that had this article about the upcoming Silent Hill 3. It was Heather Mason sitting in a rusty wheelchair, head in hands. I was still a kid, so the images I saw intimidated me from playing it. I&apos;d already noped my way through the first three hours of RE 2. <br><br>I didn&apos;t play a full game until SH The Room. I still love that game, as tedious as it is. I was just enthralled with the mystery of how the chains got on the door, and the world beyond the hole in the bathroom was the most uniquely terrifying experiences I ever had as a kid playing video games. <br><br>I was much older the first time I played Silent Hill 2, and it is the most emotionally gripping experience I&apos;ve had while playing a video game. I love the end twist, it floored me the first time. <br><br>I think what I love the most about this franchise (the first four at least) is that you get more and more out of it the more you play through their entirety. The world of Silent Hill is unlike any other franchise and that&apos;s why the fans will always welcome more Silent Hill. I hope Konami is finally putting real effort into making quality SH games and films for us to enjoy and to expose more generations to all of Team Silent (especially Akira&apos;s amazing music). I will always click on a SH retrospective, and this one definetly didn&apos;t dissapoint. Looking forward to more videos from this channel.

  Cinderella also alludes to Angela through the name. In many versions, Cinderella isn&apos;t the character&apos;s true name, but a mockery, because she would be covered in ash, and soot from cleaning, and we know how much a firebug Angela is.
