There's a lot that people quote from the 3rd game, I'm really gonna have to ask for the HD collection for my b-day coming up. I'm not even sure I've heard of Danny sweatdrop
Oooh you'll know of danny...soon enoughcool
Lol okie doke, I'll take your word for it biggrin It's been a while since I had a good scare (especially since new horror movies really don't do it, ya know?)
Hmmm, actually other people who had also played silent hill 3 got scared at the part when danny appeared. I saw videos of walkthrough on youtube and I read the comments and some of them commented that danny scared the hell out of them.

silent hill 3- Danny from the haunted house

THE MYSTICAL DANNY IS DRIVING ME NUTS sweatdrop But I don't want to ruin it for myself and look it up.... Oh paycheck, come soon to me whee
Hm, I don't really want to include silent hill one into this because...the entire game scared the crap out of me! It was the first time I had ever played a game of it's kind. The first time we went to the hell world. SCARY! The first time we entered the hospital. SCARY. Harry picking up the phone and hearing Cheryl. SCARY. Too many scaries.
Pyramid head is scary and so any scene with him in it was scary. There's a part where your down in what seems like his layer and you can get his sword, it's like a circle and when I first played it, it was confusing to find the exit. He's friggen down there in that tight corridor with you. I think that's in silent hill 2. Or the moment when you and Maria are running for the elevator and she get's stabbed in the back and then the doors close. I was like... O_O
(Silent Hill 2 I feel is my favorite though. The feeling you got at the end walking/running down that long hall...hearing the full note. Gawd damn, it made me feel so sad and yet horrified. crying )

I'm so glad you mentioned the note at the end in the long hallway... the feeling I too felt during that part was truly unique to any game I have ever played.... And yes the PH lair is in Silent Hill 2, but when I ran through the circle room, I had 2 pyramid head's, and it made escape seem so impossible whee I have only begun playing Silent Hill 1, but I will agree there have been some scares for me... mostly due to the camera angles, and the white noise.... and the darkness... and the music can be so misleading at times.
Yeah, aside from the creatures and situations I've got to say the music and atmospheric noises are superb! When I played Silent Hill 2 for the first time I played it at a friends house whom had surround sound. The sound of the footsteps all around me like was so tripy. I think that also might be why Silent Hill 2 stands out as my favorite. It's just ... different than the others. I mean it's the first of the side stories, of the others effected by Silent Hill. How far have you gotten in Silent Hill so far?

In the first Silent Hill , I have just gotten to the hospital sweatdrop It's rough when I am juggling so many different videogames with real life and work thrown in the mix... and starting in 2 weeks school as well xp And I prioritize this guild very high on my list of things to do as well. And see, I would have surround sound as well if my dad would give me the receiver box for the speakers he asked me to take from him. I plan to move soon, and then he should give me that receiver box. Then I definitely planned on playing my silent hill games with it.
Oooh fun times! I hear ya, but you'll manage. I haz the faith for you lol. Hm, best way to play it. Isn't that sort of messed up that we enjoy being scared? I always found that funny/strange. Yet in a real life situation we'd probably s**t ourselves and then bury ourselves in a hole. lol.

There's a topic on this forum somewhere, relatively recent actually, where we discussed if you were to go to Silent Hill in real life. Many of the responses were pretty interesting to say the least 3nodding But I have always been a huge fan of being scared, it's just hard to find good stuff that does it for me. Haunted houses are too corny, even the "good" ones. Horror movies, most at least, are too slow going. To be honest it's mostly been videogames that does it for me, and I think it has the interactive and submersed aspects to thank for that.
I got to find it then because I would have a very hard time believing anyone that said they wouldn't be scared. It's the way the human mind works, we'd shut down, or switch off certain functions of our brains in order to survive/comprehend/ the unnatural/unreal things we are seeing. Half of us would probably freeze and die xD The other half would beat and or shoot and unknowingly attract a gabillion other baddies. lol. All in theory of course. Legit though, I mean damn...I don't know what the hell I'd do seeing any of those creatures if it were real.

I would love to hear your response on that topic 3nodding And the topic was not whether or not they would be scared, but rather whether or not they would die. I would say it was evenly split, some thought they would make it thanks to their videogame experience, others thought their personal hells would be too much for them.... or the puzzles alone would trap them.
I would love to hear your response on that topic 3nodding
You sure about that? Lol (now you've done it). Okay, puzzles aside (meaning say there weren't puzzles like that in the traditional sense) I still think it would be terribly hard to survive.
-Takes a deep breath- There are so many things to realistically factor in here that makes or breaks your survival. Truth...fear factor goes hand in hand with your survival. Factor first your initial state of over all general health. Medications that need be taken? Water, food, secure shelter, weapons and survival tools. What kinds of amenities would still be available to you? All those help to factor in your chance of survival. It wouldn't be as simple as a videogame where you could run, aim and shoot. Fighting takes energy...could you keep up? If you got hurt do you have the items, the skills to do sufficient patch work to ward off infection or worse? That's the immediate surface and frankly...your chances are slim there.
Aside from that, if were going to focus strictly on physical and mental stability as a means of survival, you'd have to have either trained for hell on earth OR you yourself are bat-s**t crazy. If conditioning your mental state was as easy in real life as it is in a video game then we wouldn't have people that suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. War vets WERE apparently trained. Have you ever had the sad opportunity to see what they're mental state is like? They are traumatized by what their 5 senses has shown them. Because it's not natural. Because the things experience were grotesque and inhumane on a level of violence that might as well be make belief. And I am sure they wish it was. Even on a much less intense scale, ask any doctor if the death and trauma they see and handle is a piece of cake to handle.
Seeing is believing. It is much easier to comprehend something when you can use your five senses. the average healthy mind knows the basic difference between real and not real and the moment it's not sure...it freezes, scrambles, goes blank. I don't care how good or easy the videogames and movies make it seem. Videogames can not substitute for real life action.. I am not saying that EVERYONE will freeze and meet their doom. But even if you did manage to register enough to move 9/10 it's not the smartest reaction because you "weren't thinking" or you weren't "in the right state of mind". Hm...wonder why that is? Lol. I can think of two occasions where i did not do the things I always thought i'd do in a certain situation. The mental mind tells your body what to do. If your mind isn't quick enough to register, it simply wont.
And using videogames as a training ground for survival is just stupid. I am sorry. That's like saying: Yo, how come when I picked that hooker up and stuffed her into the car to have my way with her, it didn't work? I mean it worked in Grand theft Auto vice city. I don't understand. I mean I practiced it in the game over 100 times! ... =.= ...Oh if only it was all a videogame sometimes I swear! There's be a lot of people out there with an extra hole in their asses that's for sure . So...I guess what I'm saying is in all this blubbering...is that I still don't believe the half of the people that claimed they'd survive, would. Especially the ones that claim they play a lot of video games. xD

Indeed, but consider this then. Not every person who was subjugated to an immense traumatic incident has been placed in shock or rendered useless. Considering the quantities of those who survived the Holocaust with the memory to recollect what the encountered, and to have bore witness to the many cases of horrific events unfolding before them. The same can be said of those who recalled and continued after the Titanic sank, the Civil War ended, and 9/11 was over. Regardless of what medical journals and studies believe to show the "average" person to be, many "average" individuals have proven in other studies to be more productive and above average in otherwise abnormal conditions.
You're right that in Silent Hill, water, food, and proper medical treatment is near to non-existent. However, if you are to talk to the guild in a sense of real versus the unreal, then you must be prepared as well to admit that monsters and things that go bump in the night cannot coexist in such an instance, thus rendering "puzzles" as the only true form of confrontation in a place such as Silent Hill. If the monsters are real, they are only inner demons and thus survival becomes combating the mental barriers the inner self builds up to fears and weaknesses. If the monsters are imaginary, as if in some ethereal plane to serve as a physical metaphor in which we must overcome to achieve our goals, then we must also assume a level of unrealistic lax on requirements for hygiene, nourishment, and sleep.... must as the characters of the games were required to do so. Because such a lax would need to exist in order to generate the amount of time required for an individual to attempt to achieve the aforementioned goal.
And part of survival is knowing how to survive. Bashing monsters in the head for hours does not make you any better, you are right. But knowing who you are is the only thing that matters. If you are not adept at combat, do not post in your beliefs you would fight off monsters, because the truth is you will fail and die. If you cannot run, you can only hope to fight and that you must be resourceful enough to find weapons. Or will everything be handed to you as it was the characters of the games? Will you find a radio that gives warning? Will weapons appear as needed? Will guns always work or will they jam? Can you shoot a gun? Can you properly swing a bat?
We ask these questions of ourselves to convince ourselves and others of whether or not we would win or die. Self-awareness is a key to victory, because as you said losing sight of yourself and locking up will lead to defeat. Even as you compare what a doctor sees to be minimal to that of a soldiers experience, you then are only conferring your own personal opinions of what is more dramatic to your own perceptions. Monsters may truly have no effect on some, perhaps the darkness is preferable. If you are like me, then I personally have read and own over 15 different survival handbooks and practiced them thoroughly, but maybe you haven't? Then I would suggest when responding to the topic on the forums that you write that you will die.... very bluntly... and in very bold print.
Or perhaps you know other tricks to why you will live? Arrogance after all can lead to mistakes and thus ending in tragedy. But of course to acknowledge that all of this or rather any large portion of this is to be true, then you yourself are aware of the inherent dangers around you and to come, and thus are mentally prepared and quite possibly able bodied to do something about it. In which case, your odds of survival greater surpass even the most literally trained of those among us. For knowledge truly is power, and knowledge of the self, the situation, and the outcomes to follow actions is as prepared as any individual could be.
Sorry, just my take on my own rant sweatdrop

Also, I just wanted to add that you must all consider that in asking if people believe they would die in Silent Hill, it is referring that they are, essentially, taken into the videogame and becoming a character. As demonstrated between our two largest posts, we could easily hold a strong debate on the ability to survive a real silent hill. But the truth then would be that there can be no truth. I don't mean this to sound cryptic but it is true. Our personal hells are just that, and no one man or woman can say who shall live or die confronted by their inner world.

I don't deny that there isn't room for heroic acts or even well thought out actions. My hidden question in initially bringing up that point was: How long would it last? Long enough to allow you to survive? I am skeptical. I don't really wish to getting into the reality or not realities of a possible situation, my bringing up the matter of human requirements was to simply point out that the whole survival deal wasn't so easy to chop up. Point. Survival isn't so easy.

o.O I am not sure if I should be offended. You sort of assumed insult and then somewhat took it back. In none of this did I really mention myself. I humbly move to disagree with the statement of: " conferring your own personal opinions of what is more dramatic to your own perceptions" - The average doctor deals with the mess of putting back together those who have undergone horrific horrors. A soldier witnesses the horrors happen out on the field. Please do not assume nor insinuate that I make such personal opinions because it is neither true nor a prevalent point. No, I haven't read survival books nor do I practice them. If we are going to bring myself into this situation, yes I do know myself well enough to say that I have amazing will power. My will to want to live and figure the situation out would be strong. It might falter what with all the unreal things I see and kill before my eye's.
At the end of the day I only meant to play the devils advocate here to point out the more complicated factors that would have to go into over all general survival of such an out of this words type of scenario.
