Would you survive Silent Hill?

[twistedheat15]

I woulda survived silent hill 2 cuz as soon as I got a letter from my dead wife telling me to go there, I woulda burned it and started seeing a therapist.

I'd easily survive.

I'd go back home.

Instead of those douchebag protagonists who insist on exploring the whole dame town.

I never really understood that from silent hill 2. Who in their right mind would follow a bloodtrail that large... I would be in the car getting home.

I have to agree, there's just so many problems with SH protagonists it's not funny.

No.

Pyramid Head would spear me before I could return to my car.

 

[-Samurai-]

I can confidently say I would be curled up in a corner gibbering.

So probably not.

I'd say the same thing, but the chances that I'd die before I got to the corner are much too great.

 

[Bonus Punctuation]

I'd probably survive, but I'd actually want to stay. Mostly to see what monsters would show up.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Given that I have absolutely no idea what would manifest, I can't answer honestly. It'd be hella fun to find out though.

That's not how he operates. Remember the hospital roof? He NODDED after James fell. His whole point was to guild James toward the realization of his crime.

Assuming that I'm James.
I am not James.

This thread is to to ask if I am capable of surviving.

Which I'm not.
To be humorous, I said he would spear me down.
Remember the basement of Brookhaven Hospital?
Yeah.
Like that.

Yes. Within the games' world, it seems that the character to whom the town calls usually makes it out alive. I'd be totally deranged and probably on the verge of suicide, but alive nonetheless. If I were an uninvolved bystander? Not so much.

You guys. Once you enter Silent Hill, you can't leave. That's kind of been a staple in the series.

The force behind the town is making you discover your insanity and wrongdoings. Or just treating you like an uninvited guest.

 

[Sacman]

I'd go straight for the exit without a second thought...<.<

 

[Koroviev]

I can confidently say I would be curled up in a corner gibbering.

So probably not.

I'm with this guy.

Well you just invalidated your joke by the logic that PH acts differently towards different people. You more closely resemble James just by the fact that you're real. Infact, the moment you reference is just another example of what I'm talking about: Pyramid Head is reinacting the crime to remind James. The reasoning that you're not like him, as I explained in my other post, only means you wouldn't encounter Mr. Triganometry in the first place.

The thread states it's my Silent Hill!

Pyramid could be wearing a goddamn tutu if it scared my mind!

I am not James!
This is not his silent hill!
Not his Pyramid head!
My nightmare!
MY PYRAMID HEAD.

In fact, scratch his spear. He now has a flamethrower that spews lava!

 

[Hman121]

I wouldn't make it. I would probably try to hide and debate with myself whether I should suicide or not, or just go crazy.

 

[Nieroshai]

Silent Hill wouldn't call me. But if it did, I probably would survive. If we're talking about the Sunderland/Shepard incarnation of the town, it'd simply quit attacking me after I'd conquered my inner demons. If it's the Alessa Silent Hill, though, that's considerably worse. Thankfully, absolutely everything you can encounter shambles or flies, therefore stay indoors with a crowbar as much as possible. The survival portion of Silent Hill was all about learning how to avoid monsters, and if that's avoiding static and having no lights n, good for me. Seriously, the flashlight is pointless in the game except for when you need to look at your map.

Pyramid Head is an incarnation of the energies of Valtiel, not Silent Hill itself, and while they're related, Valtiel has appeared to everyone except for Harry Mason, probably because Harry didn't "need" to be "punished."

The problem is, none of the games have ever featured a protagonist who has no major trauma or important event relating directly to the town before. We have no way of knowing how it would react to someone for lack of a better word, normal.

It's possible that if I were to walk in there it would be the normal, still occupied resort town. I'm pretty sure there are some hints somewhere that the 'real world' Silent Hill still exists, separate from both Fog World and Other World.
