I spent all day yesterday finishing Silent Hill 2 Remake. My starting point was 3/4s of the way through the prison and I finished it all yesterday (but I’m slow at horror games).
I was... not okay. Emotionally. Like I’m fine to be by myself, I just managed to never know what actually happened in game for all these years. I knew snippets, fragments. That James had done something bad, that Mary was dead, and Pyramid Head was a representation of his sins. I didn’t know what he had done.
And then I had him put the VHS into the VCR to apparently atart end game and man. I vaguely remember Laura shouting at James during that cut scene, because I was just floored by James‘ actions caught on that tape.
Killing Her at the end nearly broke me. But it was the final cutscenes between Her and James, and James going through the cemetery with Laura. The final monologue but not because I was sad for James, but because Her deserved better than what she got.
