Let's Play Silent Hill 2 - Pt 23 - Lost to the Madness

[Ch0coDK]

This has always bugged me. After going down an almost endless stairwell, jumping down a bunch of holes in the ground, going down a long elevator ride, and then finally going down another short staircase how the heck did James end up on ground level again without going up some stairs or an elevator?

Ah yes, game logic.

[lpplayer25]

haters press 4

[damonkatumaru]

So this is where Capcom gets the idea for psychopaths for dead rising.

[billy1589]

You don't know how much I was freaked out when I was younger when I first saw the scene where you tried to rescue Maria from the cell. I used to hear the music play in my head and couldn't sleep sometimes at night, lol.

[SacridFire]

Learn a lesson from Eddie, kids, don't bully others... because they could become a highly homicidal nut-job.

[jepepe01]

for the 1st fight I always use the great knive, since its 1 hit next stage, then ill just finish him with the rifle.

but any strategy that gets the job done is a good strategy ^^

[SS4519]

honestly, as someone who has also been picked on and hated all his life, i cant help but feel bad for and understand eddie's pain. poor guy

[MusicoftheDamned]

Hmm...despite all the screwed-up things in this part, I just can't get past the fact that Eddie has such an old-fashioned and unwieldy gun. A long-barreled revolver? Really?

(Hunh. So Firefox recognizes "unwieldy" but not "unwieldly"? What.)

[williamcharlie04]

@MusicoftheDamned hmm? You realize that a long barrel makes a gun stronger, right? Granted, Eddies IS old, but long barreled guns are still used for good reason. I shall now point you to the most powerful by far production handgun ever made. Just google "smith and wesson 500", and click on the wikipedia link.

[MusicoftheDamned]

@williamcharlie04: Ah, I had admittedly forgotten that about long-barrels given that I generally couldn't care less about guns. I don't imagine my sentiments will ever change unless I'm researching them for fiction, though I'll have to keep it in mind. Thanks for the information.

For the record, my original comment was more about the oddity of it being a revolver than it being long-barreled. Like I said, it just seems oddly old-timey/"Spaghetti Western" and contrary to Eddie's design otherwise.

[ShoySlayer]

10:31 WHAT AM I FIGHTING FORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRR

[Leandrewz0r]

LOL is that copercab? :O

[GamingSymphonies]

You can actually get Eddie glitched behind a piece of hanging meat and beat him with the plank on the second part of the fight.

[RoahmMythril]

XD Really? I didn't know that XD

[hfbn2]

He killed a human being!

Or did he? You cant really be sure in a place like Silent Hill o.o;

[coller23]

@hfbn2 eddie is human just read his backstory on silent hill wiki and he really is dead

[glovestrong48]

Reminds me of the hopeless feeling in Cave Story where, after getting out of the labyrinth, basically everyone I knew was dead.

[masterminded78]

Got some good jokes right here:

1: *grabs plank* Eddie: Wait, what are you gonna do with that? James: Time for a good old spanking *Spanks Eddie until he ran crying to the second room.

2: OMG I KILLED A HUMAN BEING, WHYYYYYYYYYEEEE!!! *CRYS*............Oh cool a revolver.... crap, no ammo.

[atza20]

maybe the holes were like 6 feet long :D

[snowflame8264]

Wow. I'm surprised that Eddie could take a hit from a shotgun like that. Especially from point-blank. O_O

[nojkoor1584]

So eddy broke a guys leg, then killed a dog, then killed the dogs owner in self defence, and then just killed a guy for picking on him. Or did I loose track?

[nojkoor1584]

@nojkoor1584 Nope I got it wrong. Killed a dog, shot a guy in the leg, killed someone cause he had it coming either in defence or for picking on him, and last kill was defenently because he was being picked on

[nojkoor1584]

So you have to go down to go up. I recall Willy Wonka once saying something like that in "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory". Though yay Silent Hill has nothing to do with that I am sure

[SparkyDaHedgehog]

Well, It looks like James went so far down that he came out on the other side of the earth... in an identical town, probably infested by the same monsters. Just bad luck, I guess!

Also, poor Eddie. It's not his fault he went completely insane! I liked him when he wasn't acting like a psycho!

[Thaeru]

If James kept going down, he'd eventually reach the planetary core. >.>

[DullBones]

At exactly which point Eddie start thinking that the whole world hates him?

[Chazwalker2467]

Eddie really reminds me of a psycopath from Dead Rising. The cut scene before both fights is very similar. Also, he takes an inhuman amount of punishment to kill.

[THENAMEISMEGAMAN]

How would you feel if the last tombstone said "Roahm Mythril"?

[EvilMariobot]

Apparently, the Bottomless Dungeon has the same spatial anomolies as Nowhere. Also, every time someone dies, James' thoughts go to Mary. I guess James DOES have the same one-track mind as Harry.

[edfreak9001]

so maria's dead, for sure this time? this game goes by fast o.o

[GandWatch]

One was killed twice

The second had daddy issues

and the third (now my favorite) was insane due to being picked on and being called a fatso.

...it now seems that the ONLY one we can trust around here is Laura...and that alone doesn't help either...

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, wow, that is a troubling thought X)

[DeathHarbingerAnubis]

You know, Im glad you pointed out in the description how well James takes all the things in Silent Hill. I was talking to my friend just today about how thats the one thing that bothers me about Silent Hill. Harry and James both take things pretty well. They never freak out about the monsters. They just kinda go "Oh, monsters....*smack*

[ModelJames13]

I hope you'll do one of these for Silent Hill 1, 3, and 4. Maybe Origins too?

[mapler90210]

@ModelJames13 check his channel for the first game. i'm not sure whether he plans to do the others, but so far he seems to like doing entire series, so i wouldn't be surprised if he does.

[RoahmMythril]

I do plan to do the others eventually, yes.

[ModelJames13]

@RoahmMythril Excellent.

[TheShuichix]

I played through this game numerous times and I heard you can see more sightings of Pyramid Head besides on the Main Storyline...which I don't think is true...but is it?

[RoahmMythril]

I don't think he can be seen in the sub-scenario. Pretty much just his main storyline appearances, and that's about it.

[RedMage114]

Having a map would of been nice to have down there, Mabye Pyramid head has one, you should go ask him.

[RoahmMythril]

Methinks he's still a bit ticked off that I "borrowed" his Great Knife.

[RedMage114]

@RoahmMythril Nah he's got a spear he'll be fine

[firei11]

I do feel sorry for Eddie. He didn't look like he ever understood the implications of what he did, and he has indeed been a punching bag through his life - I'm not sure how one can be genuinely mad at him.

Also, James sucks at empathy so, so much.

[SuperSayianSquirtle]

okay how far down are we?

were in the catacombs of the catacombs of the catacombs of the catacombs of the catacombs of the catacombs of the catacombs of the basement of the basement of the historical soceity?

[levelmaster2]

Can't you get where Eddie does nothing in the fight? Also the meat room has to be either a elevator or teleporter.

[baval5]

Cleary Roahm you went so far down you came out the other side, and are now in China Hill

[CLfreak246]

Something tells me that James will have to kill Angela too.

[StoneMonkWisdom]

The funny part, if you can call it such, is that its all avoidable, for the most part. I don't know much about Angela, but Eddie's figure could of made him a highschool football star. Sure, he's a little porky and short, but after a while he'd probably became a dwarf. Short, kinda big, and completely immovable.

~Comment by LaZodiac~

[beedolphin1]

So, Angela, Eddie and James are dead? As for Maria, don't worry James I'm sure you'll be seeing her again later.......... I think.

As for picking or making fun of people, it's not really something one needs to do. What I've seen and experinced, yeah, that can really happen. Sad to say

[BurningEmbers101]

Is just me, or does Laura seem like Christabella?

[Arexion5293]

Silent Hill, the torment of our consciousness. It's like a hell upon earth, a personal hell.

[potatogy]

Don't be sad,James.You just killed a "normal" human that can withstand 10+ shotgun shot...

[cooljobsrule]

Am I the only one hoping Roahm would have used the great knife of Eddie?

[RoahmMythril]

While it's possible, it's not really a good option against him. It's too easy to get knocked out of the attack due to how slow James is with the Great Knife, and how quick Eddie is to shoot or punch you and knock you out of the attack.

[aaronmp8]

@RoahmMythril I was able to dispatch Eddie with the Great Knife fairly easily. When hes aiming his first shot, run up to him, and smack him with an overhead attack with the Great Knife. It can be a little tricky, but once you get the timing right, its always a one hit kill.

[Goblinfoo]

There's the Maria we remember

[ZekeStarr]

You know, the more I play this game and the more I watch people play it, the more I realize why this happens to be my favorite Silent Hill game in the series. I can relate to Angela and Eddie. Those two, well lets just say I know what they've gone through personally and know the kind of pain they feel from those experiences.

And now, time for something funny!

James: Eddie, have you gone nuts?

*Suddenly Cybil pops in*

Cybil: Must be on drugs!

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, yes, still one of my favorite lines.

[NeoTiamat]

Behold the power of Silent Hill; bringing out your deepest fears by threatening you with baggage handling again, then killing them off just to toy with your emotions! BE AFRAID!!!

Oh...uh...I mean poor James! He had to watch her die twice! How awful! D=

[Aceunown]

I was sincerely hoping you would use the Great Knife on Eddie. Oh well. Maybe we could see every boss (after you get it of course) being killed by the Great Knife in the bonus episodes?

[RoahmMythril]

Hm..... I can try... It's really not a good option against Eddie. The timing to use the Great Knife on him, it's next to impossible to actually get the attack in before he punches you or shoots you to knock you out of the attack.

[Tom0027X]

Well. Eddie should've stayed in the mental hospital. And not to insult him, but he must be really FAT to take more than a couple of shots. *shot* It's weird that in Silent Hill human beings seem more durable than the "standard" undead people.

[StoneMonkWisdom]

I think its just a mix of adrenaline making them slightly more resistent, and the town doing it to be a massive dick.

~Comment by LaZodiac~

[XCaliberProductins]

00:54 sounds like James has "Shadow Sickness"

[benjamin656564]

what if u used the great knife on eddie?

[RoahmMythril]

I think it CAN work, but it's extremely difficult to get the timing right, i.e., being able to hit Eddie with it before he can shoot or punch you to knock you out of the attack.

[benjamin656564]

c'mon everybody! lets make fun of eddie! hahahahaha fatty.......well........

[jordanliow]

Seriously, how can the shotgun not 1-hit kill Eddie?

[jordanliow]

What happens if you jump into the other graves?

[RoahmMythril]

The other graves are filled, you can't enter them.

[12nykid]

Dang you see people don't make fun of people..or this happens "sigh" people will never understand -_-

[DeathByStiel]

What if when you were examining the tombstones in front of the open graves and one of them said "RoahmMythril" How scary would that be?

[RoahmMythril]

Considering they never asked for a name input, yeaaaaaah, that would have been creepy.

[YoshiKing25]

for some unknown reason this episode reminded me of the telitubies 0_o but why i can not fathom

[RenzokukenLionheart]

@YoshiKing25 Have you gone nuts? *cue eddie fight*

[DAOW17]

I knew it I knew it I knew it, I keep sayin that Maria gives me the Dahlia vibes don't I?

and GOD James is dumb!!

"Hi I'm James, I just shot a crazy fat guy and to make SURE he's dead I'm going up close to him and towards the hand that's still holding a gun!"

[TheCurlyCal]

I half expected Maria to jump up from the deathbed and try to throttle you or something equally startling and creepy. This game is not for the faint of heart.

[RoahmMythril]

Pfft, yeah, if this was Resident Evil, no way that wouldn't have happened.

[Kevvl14]

Forgot to edit the descriptions there, Roahm? O_O

[RoahmMythril]

No, YouTube just didn't register my clikcing on the "Save Changes" button while uploading it. It's fixed now.

[RenzokukenLionheart]

i got the first view. yay :3

i just noticed, none of the crimes in the prev episode can have a death sentence, except in ye olde middle ages.

[RoahmMythril]

Haha, punishment in Silent Hill is pretty severe it seems.

[Parasine]

Poor maria, just can't get a break..
