@TheHotFalafel There was one that was kind of like this except worded less, idk, bluntly, then he carries her away. I think that one is a little better, but it's your opinion whether you like that one or this one or the Maria one. Personally I like the Maria one because he has someone at the end, though he ends on a bad note with the "other Mary" or whomever it was that he fought.
@TheHotFalafel The ending that was most likely cannon was the "in water" ending. Where James commits suicide by driving his car in to the water because he can't live without Mary.
Thats only because of the references in SH3 and SH4. For example: In SH3 when doug and heather are driving to Silent hill. Doug says that he did an investigation on a couple that went there and never returned.
@lordbrioan That theory can also be applied to the Rebirth ending or even the UFO ending but more or less the Rebirth or In Water ending seem to connect to the SH happenings.
@dossantosftw by whom? both james and mary had awesome voice actors. it is said that the voice of mary, the actress, cried after reading that letter..
@Da1337Man Are you maria????....go back to that scene and actually tell me thats good voic acting....overall what im saying is not so much that the voice acting is bad, which it is, but the way the game was overall written is bad. And ok? The letter itself was very touching but that doesnt mean the voice acting was good just because some japanese lady cried over it
@dossantosftw so i guess your version of good horror is resident evil and dead space where the monsters go RAWRRRR and find that scary. that is a sign of having no depth. gg
@Da1337Man hahaha your attempting to defend yourself by trying to say things that i never said? Silent hill is an amazing game with a great plot. I never said otherwise. Like i said, the VOICE ACTING ,not the game or plot, is bad. Are you gonna say that im bitching about the graphics next comment?
@YorkJonhson just because the writing wasn't that good doesn't mean that im saying the plot is as well. If it was made now by an american company it would probably be much better
@dossantosftw Mate, the writing Is the plot. I assume you're specifically talking about the dialogue, or the voice acting. Course in my opinion this scene did well with both.
@Da1337Man hahahahhahaha wow dude this is great. Once again you criticize me of saying something i said the EXACT opposite of. I fucking love silent hill. I was a fan since the first ps1 sh to downpour for 360. Seriously dude if your gonna try to fire back at me at least use something i ACTUALLY SAID in your defense
@aus741LX Downpour has a 98.9% chance of not living up to Silent Hill 2, but yes play it and enjoy the trip. The HD I do recommend, but there is nothing like experience an older copy on the Ps2 for the first time.
@Irockmarkdowns yup, I guess the reason people say the in water ending is the best is because its different and unexpected... I'm the kind of person who prefers happy endings though, ^_^ even if its more bittersweet than straight up happy. this ending was touching to me, yknow. if he went through all that just to kill himself in the end, it all seems kind of pointless.
@Irockmarkdowns Yeah, and I dislike how 3 and 4 suggest In Water was the proper one. But even if it was their idea for that to be the right one (Leave being the literal "Best" ending), they made the references subtle enough that it wasn't for sure. Team Silent knew what they were doing.
@dfactorxx Im not experienced in these genre's anyway. Although i do play games similar to Mystery case files return to ravenhearst because they seem to be a bit easier. But still, the longer the time the better the gameplay experience i think.
@dfactorxx I do enjoy exploring throughout the game. I used alot of walkthroughs because of the puzzles. 8 hours is pretty long and even the amnesia the dark descend game took me that long to complete.
For a ten year old game, this one is still getting much attention. Yeah, I like to come back and watch this ending now and then. Such an awesome game.
The ending monologue...best voice acting I've ever heard. Period. No matter what you think of the rest of the voice performances in the game, you know damn well that it all becomes obsolete when you hear this. It simply makes SH2 that much greater than it already is....A true masterpiece.
Oh! The same letter is in the "In Water" ending too! This letter worked so well in the water ending. I just teared up like a girl. Whenever I can't cry I go to the "In Water" ending.
Seriously go watch "In Water" ending if you want a good tearing up. He commits suicide (apperantly it's not a secret or spoiler now) and after the whole letter was read out, after a looong pause then the last part "James, you made me happy." showed up. It worked SO well. I cried like a mama's boy.
Between the video, this ending and the letter, I can never hold it in. I always lose it. Silent Hill is the only series that can make me cry whenever I play it. Just about every game in the series has something that will do it.
The way I understand it is that Mary was hospitalized three years ago, which is why James thinks she's been dead for three years. When she visits home for her last visit, James kills her. Tramatized, James finds his way back to Silent Hill with the letter as a ruse (it vanishes over the course of the game) and blocks out the truth that he murdered his wife.
Wait, is Laura real? Mary died 3 years ago and that was probably when Laura turned 8, but she still thinks she's 8. Or maybe she's just another part of James. I'm confused. Great ending though. In the end, Mary did forgive James for what he did.
@ChuckPalomo more so than anyone else. It only gets worse if you consider that she has all of Mary's memories and feelings. She cared about James even though he "killed" her and was desperate to earn his affection but she always was just a fake and she knew it. There could be no happy ending for her from the very beginning, even though she did not do anything wrong. That's pretty f***ed up.
I... just love this ending. Apparently, psychological horror games are better than your traditional 'Kill all enemies until you're rescued' horror games
dont get me wrong i am normally a pessimist but i think this is the true ending because for some one like James i dont want to see a sad ending for i want some one like him to have a happy ending.
The most beautiful thing about this ending, is that he leaves with Laura, ostensibly to adopt her, as his wife wished. And after her begging for him to live for himself when she dies, he still does what he knows will make her happy, and he takes Laura in.
@CainG88 I know it's so interesting comparing how great this ending is with how heart wrenching and ultimately disturbing the Maria ending is- here James get's the opportunity the move on and takes it, allowing him a life of happiness and freedom from guilt. In the Maria ending, James is doomed to watch Maria die from the same illness as Mary, kill her and end up in Silent Hill again. Really makes me want to get his ending instead :P

@MoonWitchRuuRuu If you remember the beginning of the game, James encounters a graveyard, in which he also meets Angela. Well from this ending you can clearly see that this is the same graveyard, and he is seen leaving silent hill with Laura. Also it is believed that this represents James fulfilling Mary's wish [to leave] and adopting Laura.
Ohhhh there we go. I watched it a bajillion times but for some reason I only saw James leave but not Laura. Ga durr, now I got it and feel like a retard. XD
First time I played this game, I wasn't used to Sh hill games, and on the map, it shows a fairground next to the hotel. I thought, ok....so how does the story continue into the fairground? Then I realised this was probably the ending, and I was like....aw man, should have been longer. Then I got pissed, and was like......what about Laura? What about Angela? Played it a few more times and I started to get it. Really good game. One of my top 25 favourites (it's not easy to get in there!)
@MrFendkg287316 She was looking for Mary too. But she didn't know she was dead. She believed Mary was somewhere in Silent Hill. Mary didn't see the monsters, that's why she could go anywhere without any trouble.
@MrFendkg287316 Both of them are looking for Mary. But Laura doesn't know she's dead. James do know she's dead but he believes she died three years ago.
@MrFendkg287316 Both of them are looking for Mary. But Laura doesn't know she's dead. James do know she's dead but he believes she died three years ago.
@MrFendkg287316 Well because Laura met Mary in the hospital when Mary was sick. They became friends and Mary wanted her as her daughter. There's a letter of Mary saying that she'd love to adopt Laura. But Laura didn't know Mary died, she believed that she went to SH and then Laura went to look for her.
@MrFendkg287316 Yep. that's Mary. IDK if he can see Mary's soul (?) I don't get it. My theory is that he's watching and talking to Mary the same way he can also see Maria and talk to her, etc. And Mary didn't die three years ago. She was actually at Jame's car trunk.
@MrFendkg287316 her father raped her constantly and her mother told her she deserved it so she killed her father and came to silent hill loking for her mom so she can kill her, the grave she was standing near at the start was her brothers suggesting he's already dead. she wannts to kill her family since she see's it as the only way she can finally have peace in her life.
Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains electronic ambient and upbeat songs heavily inspired by the world of Silent Hill and music of Akira Yamaoka. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) . Safe travels, keep your flashlight on and your radio close...
It's been more than a year since I played this game and I just wanted to try to remember the feeling of playing it, so I watched this video. Not only did I remember every little detail about the game and how it all made me feel back then, but I was gonna baw my eyes just listening to Mary reading the letter.
For fuck's sake, why are you so perfect?! You're a goddamn videogame!
@whoisfettel Laura IS real, she gets a ride from Eddie and comes to SH to look for Mary, even tough she never sees anything James see, such as Maria and the monsters.
The only thing that turns me off about this letter is when she says "I'll say goodbye now" but keeps on going. This game was really good, one of the best storylines in a game I've ever played.
I think I'm going to go play this game again now :)
It was the first truly great silent hill and the last truly great silent hill. i'm ain't saying the other ones weren't good, just that silent hill 2 set the bar so high that nothing else in the series could hope to compare to it.
man..........listening to this letter just tears me apart everytime i hear it.
@TehChibiMage It may just be amazing voice acting, but the actress who does her voice in the "In Water" ending is really crying through the recording.
your view of his suicide suggests that James's resolution of doubt involves him believing that he will find happiness in the afterlife. James seems to believe this in the In Water ending, but my argument is that this isn't belief so much as it is blind hope. Nothing in this game should lead him to believe that he's about to find a happy ending in death. At best, he should expect the atheist's peace of nothingness, if he's not much on God.
because in the ending of water ending, James clearly said he loves Mary, and he cannot live without her, so he seek suicide in order to meet her wife again. In the most final boss fight, James met her wife, it made him knew that there was afterlife. So he chose afterlife in order to live with Mary together.
also, at last the ending shows that James got into a room with a wall-mirror, he saw Angela holding a knife. And I remember in the game there was a graveyard showing Angela's name on it, implying Angela had died. Angela lived in another world, a world of dead people. So the final shot of James met Angela means James had died and began his afterlife in silent hill.
I think the developers left the endings open to interpretation. It's already obvious James loves mary, or he wouldn't even be in Silent Hill. He went there because the burden of guilt was too much and he wanted to punish himself in a way, and to find some sort of closure. James killing himself is hardly closure, even Mary herself has said in this ending she wants James to move on, and a lot is made clear by her letter as well.

@MrFendkg287316 Preety much being the "bridge" between James and the truth, I'd say.

@MrFendkg287316 She was looking for Mary too. But she didn't know she was dead. She believed Mary was somewhere in Silent Hill. Mary didn't see the monsters, that's why she could go anywhere without any trouble.

MrFendkg287316 1 year ago
@MrFendkg287316 Both of them are looking for Mary. But Laura doesn't know she's dead. James do know she's dead but he believes she died three years ago.

@Darthwizard ya i knoee but why is Laura looking for Mary?
MrFendkg287316 1 year ago
@MrFendkg287316 Well because Laura met Mary in the hospital when Mary was sick. They became friends and Mary wanted her as her daughter. There's a letter of Mary saying that she'd love to adopt Laura. But Laura didn't know Mary died, she believed that she went to SH and then Laura went to look for her.

@Darthwizard omg thats sad ;\ so was that at 0:34 was that really Mary or what? O....o
MrFendkg287316 1 year ago
@MrFendkg287316 Yep. that's Mary. IDK if he can see Mary's soul (?) I don't get it. My theory is that he's watching and talking to Mary the same way he can also see Maria and talk to her, etc. And Mary didn't die three years ago. She was actually at Jame's car trunk.

@jacobgr43 why is she trying to kill them? O__O
MrFendkg287316 1 year ago
@MrFendkg287316 her father raped her constantly and her mother told her she deserved it so she killed her father and came to silent hill loking for her mom so she can kill her, the grave she was standing near at the start was her brothers suggesting he's already dead. she wannts to kill her family since she see's it as the only way she can finally have peace in her life.

Hey everybody - I just released my solo album "Mirror Image" that contains electronic ambient and upbeat songs heavily inspired by the world of Silent Hill and music of Akira Yamaoka. If you're interested you can check out the songs on my youtube page, and links to my myspace page and places to download the full album are on my youtube channel as well :) . Safe travels, keep your flashlight on and your radio close...

What the fuck, Silent Hill?
It's been more than a year since I played this game and I just wanted to try to remember the feeling of playing it, so I watched this video. Not only did I remember every little detail about the game and how it all made me feel back then, but I was gonna baw my eyes just listening to Mary reading the letter.
For fuck's sake, why are you so perfect?! You're a goddamn videogame!

The only thing that turns me off about this letter is when she says "I'll say goodbye now" but keeps on going. This game was really good, one of the best storylines in a game I've ever played.
I think I'm going to go play this game again now :)

It was the first truly great silent hill and the last truly great silent hill. i'm ain't saying the other ones weren't good, just that silent hill 2 set the bar so high that nothing else in the series could hope to compare to it.
man..........listening to this letter just tears me apart everytime i hear it.

your view of his suicide suggests that James's resolution of doubt involves him believing that he will find happiness in the afterlife. James seems to believe this in the In Water ending, but my argument is that this isn't belief so much as it is blind hope. Nothing in this game should lead him to believe that he's about to find a happy ending in death. At best, he should expect the atheist's peace of nothingness, if he's not much on God.
refuckulate420 1 year ago 5
@refuckulate420
because in the ending of water ending, James clearly said he loves Mary, and he cannot live without her, so he seek suicide in order to meet her wife again. In the most final boss fight, James met her wife, it made him knew that there was afterlife. So he chose afterlife in order to live with Mary together.
lovelytrudy 1 year ago
@lovelytrudy
also, at last the ending shows that James got into a room with a wall-mirror, he saw Angela holding a knife. And I remember in the game there was a graveyard showing Angela's name on it, implying Angela had died. Angela lived in another world, a world of dead people. So the final shot of James met Angela means James had died and began his afterlife in silent hill.
lovelytrudy 1 year ago
@lovelytrudy
I think the developers left the endings open to interpretation. It's already obvious James loves mary, or he wouldn't even be in Silent Hill. He went there because the burden of guilt was too much and he wanted to punish himself in a way, and to find some sort of closure. James killing himself is hardly closure, even Mary herself has said in this ending she wants James to move on, and a lot is made clear by her letter as well.

I agree James and Mary love each other much. They love each other.
