Would you survive Silent Hill?

[LogicNProportion]

No one has what it takes, except perhaps an unimaginative buffoon. This is assuming you are screwed up enough that the city comes calling for you.

Actually many people have what it takes to survive Silent Hill. 8+ games later and we have watched everyone from pregnant teenagers to disturbed schizophrenics make their way through the town relatively unscathed.
With each new game the ominous power of Silent Hill diminishes because with each new game more and more people overcome Silent Hill. Just like the Sephiroth vs. Kefka argument: Kefka has only died once and never resurrects, but Sephiroth, regardless of his power, cannot excuse the simple fact that for each time he came back he still has his arse kicked thoroughly each time.

Despite Word of God saying that Silent Hill is getting STRONGER. <<

Depends if you're utterly boring or not. If you don't have any issues then sure, you'll be fine!

 

[Yozora]

i survived Schizophrenia so i say i already survived "My Silent hill".

 

[sanguinator]

i would go insane and eventually die

 

[Grayjack]

I would leave. But if for some reason I was trapped there, I would be screwed. I haven't a snowballs chance in Hell of surviving with all the weird shit I have in my mind.

 

[Roofstone]

If you gave me the right gear. I mean the whole bunch, armor, machine guns, pistols, smgs, a sniper. A tank! And supplies. Food and drinks.

Let me go trough a few years of combat training, survival training and self-built weapon and armor course.

I'd use all that training to kill myself, so I wouldnt die horribly from the town.

 

[Comma-Kazie]

I would stand only the slimmest chance, and even then I probably wouldn't come out sane.

 

[Something Amyss]

Only if I'm allowed to join forces with the town.

 

[luclin92]

not a chance for me to survive unless im really lucky and dont get killed by the creatures that is created by my mind.

 

[Durgiun]

Seeing as how I'm not a dumbass protagonist, but a smart, resourceful psycho, I'd survive in Silent Hill.
I'm pretty much used to being mindfucked (thanks to all of the people from school), so I'd be immune to the monsters that were created from my psyche.

 

[Demodeus]

since all of the silent hill protagonists were everymans i'd say i would be able to survive too.
maybe not since i got a much more fucked up imagination and because i'd probably try to beat everything to death instead of running..

Everybody stop answering to this thread, 'cause this guy just won.

Thank you. <3

Finding my way out of a town filled to the brim with fog, rust, and monsters crafted after the darkest parts of my mind? I'd rather not, and I doubt I could. God knows what sort of hellbeasts would manifest from my mind. That town would eat me alive.

 

[lacktheknack]

I would. My biggest fear is the dark, so a flashlight would ruin the town's demented attempts.

 

[Krythe]

90% of the internet would die in the first level because they're too fat to run away from the monsters and even then after they got their first gun, they've all learned how to shoot from playing Call of Duty so they'd waste all their ammo in five seconds shooting at a wall because IRL, there's no auto-lock-on and then get eaten. That's the answer to nearly every "would you survive X videogame world" thread.

*hears the sound of the morbidly obese furiously summoning the mods* Fiiiiine... I'll be constructive.

The challenge of Silent Hill is mostly a psychological one; the town brings your worst memories to life to haunt you. So in that sense, your own self-loathing becomes your enemy.

(If you haven't already guessed, I'm going off silent hill 2 and 3 because the other sequels are shit and should be deemed non-canon)

"Can you conquer your own demons?", I guess, is the question of whether or not you'd stand a chance.

I think I could, but that may just be the overconfidence bias talking.

I can, at least, say that I could withstand the psychological impact of seeing the monsters since most look strangely like the cadavers I'm so used to working on.

If we face our own demons we have a chance, since they are our own demons and we know them best. But then again they also know us best.
