How far would you go?

I've played every game on the PS2 and really can't complain about the quality. The controls are a bit clunky but it's playable nontheless. The biggest difference is that (as far as I know) Fatal Frame 3 is PS2 exclusive, so you can't get an Xbox version.Xeros said:
The Xbox version of 'Fatal Frame 2' has a new ending as addition to the normal two/three but you can look it up on YouTube anyway (the ending just depends on the difficulty you choose).
Fatal Frame 4 is Wii exclusive and hasn't been published outside of Japan. I hear it's due to it's catastrophical glitches and programming. A shame
Indeed it is a shame. Well, thank you for clarifying an saving me like $30.Xerosch said:I've played every game on the PS2 and really can't complain about the quality.

Pyramid Head / Red Pyramid bugs me in different ways from how he supposedly bugs other people.
Bullet-proof helmet? Fine. Shoot him in the KNEEEEEES! It rhymes with "covered in BEEEEEES!" let him follow you to the top of a ladder, then shoot up the ladder into the pyramid. If bullets bounce off it, they've got nowhere to go but back through him. Lead him to a car wrecking place and use the giant magnet to either pick him up or pull his stupid hat off. If you've picked him up, shoot him up the arse, dip him in battery acid, dangle him in the crusher and activate it. If you've pulled his hat off, shoot him.
If you're looking at this situation from the outside and deciding whether to go in or not, why not take friends? I mean, really, lots of friends, with body armour, helmets, assault rifles, grenades and that kind of thing. Okay, the town remodelling itself around your mind would do ODD things with that, but it's a fairly sensible idea ... unlike, for instance, dropping your gun, wailing, shouting someone's name and then walking into a room (read: trap) unarmed, eyes fixed on something in the middle, without checking the corners. IT's weird how I can play an entire game carefully and sneakily and then see my character Be Very Stupid like that in a cut-scene, or demonstrate the in-his-face melee-attack take-down on an "invisible" enemy with a plasma sword and charge twenty enemy positions in a row only to panic in the face of something vaguely slimy with a tentacle.
As for how far I'd go ... I don't want to find out.
I'm a very... guilt motivated person, so I probably would, but I'd probably hate them afterward. I'd also probably die, and I'd also be smart enough to call the police if I survive my first encounter with the monsters in the town, and/or I'd find a way to call the god damn government and media so the people can make the government feel guilty when they decide not to worry about it. And I'd go in there and most probably die and suffer some form of mental breakdown that would involve me turning into an emotionless thing and suffering for it for twenty years of therapy, if I survive through it.
But would I go in? Either that or go through guilt trips, so yeah. Fucking conscience.

Nooooo, I won't do that.

...Damn, why do i get the part of the lyrics that does not fit the topic?
Anyways, yeah, if it's someone i really care about i would probably at least TRY to venture into the creepy, but i think i would try to drag someone else with me as not to freak out completely.
That said, i'd probably die in most horror scenarios. Especially the ones in Condemned, i don't really take blows to the head with concrete so well...
EDIT: Oh, so that's Post Number 1000 from me. I'd hoped for something more...poetic.
"Look both sides before crossing the street"....
...i guess i try again when i reach two-thousand
Hand me something large, heavy and made of metal and I'll go through places like Silent Hill just for the goddamn entertainment. Sod coming out the other end with anything or anyone special, I'd just come out the end of it all knowing that nothing in there was as scary as me when I'm in a bad mood and have something to beat them over the head with.
You've got two more inappropriate lines before it gets very fitting indeed!Frybird said:...Damn, why do i get the part of the lyrics that does not fit the topic?
That's an old question: you're standing in the arena at the end of a long battle, surrounded by the corpses of a Lesser Medusa, a Black Reaver, a Vampire Lord, a Greater Doom Drake and a Shoggoth. Which was the most dangerous animal in the fight?The Maddest March Hare said:
The correct answer is, of course, "Me."
I found it hard enough playing through to the end of Silent Hill 2 without wetting myself in fear.
If I actually had to go through all that I'd probably just melt into a gibbering mess the first time I see one of the monsters.

Well, if I were to get a letter from my dead and nonexistant wife telling me to meet her at our "special place" in a town called Silent Hill, I might just go. 'course, I would probably figure out after the first monster encounter that a) something is seriously wrong here, and b) that I am indeed in a Silent Hill game, and therefore the protagonist with a terrible and dark secret. Yeah, I'd leave after I figured that out...
Cudos to the OP for trying SH2! It's a marvelous game, easily one of the best ever made, and the benchmark when it comes to storytelling and atmosphere. Have fun with it, and remember, there is no shame in pissing your pants...
Although I gotta say: SH2 has never scared me, it was too damn creepy to be scary

The only time I have been scared by a game is when I played Resident Evil 3 when I was about 7... Sure I'd do it again
If you meant something more meaning full like would I do the scariest thing ever (That is directly related to me, as in it is my fears made real) to save a person I cared about and/or the world, then yes I would as long as no-one congratulated me or thanked me.

I just asked it that way and got the answer: "Oh, sure, I'd be up the north face of the Eiger like a squirrel to save someone I love ... then completely fall to pieces for about a month as soon as she was safe and be no use to anyone."lawnmooer said:
Well, that's ... probably honest.
