Anna - Did it only happen the one time? That can happen in games if the stick or button is being pressed when the game turns on.
Did you try unplugging the remote and plugging it back in while it was doing it?
Hammy - I fekkin' hate melee. I'm a weenie that way. :lol: In any type of game, I always prefer long-range weapons, as long as they're not difficult to fire.
No, it's happened all three times I tried to play it, and with Hammy's advice I made sure the joysticks weren't plugged in, and I've unplugged the controller a few times. I don't have any other controllers to try it with, either. ;^;
Ooo, still talking about silent hill experiences! :O
I can't remember much from my first experiences except that I first played SH2 for PC. I got REALLY frustrated because my main computer didn't have a good graphics card, either, so it lagged almost as bad as this shabby laptop. :lol:
I remembered being the most afraid of the nurses and patients.
On a new note, concerning SH3, the nurses scared me even more than the SH2 nurses because they always walked with heavy, mechanical-like, breathing. Not to mention every time you encounter one, some creepy background music/noise/whatever comes on and I react highly to creepy audio.
I think I was most creeped out by that room full of bugs in SH2 when I first played... or maybe the Labyrinth with PH in it? Those still creep me out, actually.
I'm definitely creeped out more by the nurses in SH3 as well, demo. They look so much more human than any of the other monsters. ;_; I think the scariest/creepiest nurses are the Puppet Nurses in SH1 though. DDDD:
@Hatake- ONE DAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER FOREVER, DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! I LOVE YOUR FACE. GIVE ME YOUR HAIR.
WAIT NEVERMIND, I'M DEAD. NOW YOU HAVE TO GO AVENGE ME BUT NOT REALLY.
...He's not in love with eating her flesh, wut. xD Where'd you get that from? He just leaves her creepy li'l diary entries and dollies everywhere for her. c:
"Pure eyes, blue like a glassy bead---
You are always looking at me
and I am always looking at you.
Ah, you're too meek---
beautiful, unspoiled:
thus I'm so sad, I suffer---
and so happy, it hurts.
I want to hurt you
and destroy myself
What you would think
if you knew how I felt.
Would you simply smile,
not saying a word?
Even curses from your mouth
would be as beautiful as pearls.
I place my left hand on your
face as though we were to kiss.
Then I suddenly shove my thumb
deep into your eyesocket.
Abruptly, decisively,
like drilling a hole.
And what would it feel like?
Like jelly?
Trembling with ecstasy, I obscenely
mix it around and around: I must
taste the warmth of your blood.
How would you scream?
Would you shriek "It hurts!
It hurts!" as cinnabar-red tears
stream from your crushed eye?
You can't know the maddening
hunger I've felt in the midst of
our kisses, so many of them
I've lost count.
As though drinking in your cries,
I bring my hopes to fruition:
biting your tongue, shredding it,
biting at your lips as if tasting
your lipstick.
Oh, what euphoric heights I would
reach, having my desires fulfilled
like a greedy, gluttonous cur.
I longed, too, for your cherry-tinted
cheeks, tasty enough to bewitch my
tongue.
I would surely be healed,
and would cry like a child.
And how is your tender ear?
It brushes against my cheek;
I want it to creep up to my lips so
I can sink my teeth into its flesh.
Your left ear, always hearing words
whispered sweet as pie---
I want it to hear my true feelings.
I never lied, no...
but I did have my secrets.
Ah, but what must you think of me?
Do you hate me? Are you afraid?
As though inviting you to the agony
at the play's end, if you wish, you
could destroy me---I wouldn't care.
As you wish, you may destroy me
---I wouldn't care."
*gag*
FLIPYOU,I WOULDN'T TOUCH THAT DOLL WITH A TEN FOOT POLE.

But on topic, try SH2. It's less scary than 3. It's just more of a psychological mindfuck. But less "HUAAGGHABAHAA HELP."
I mean, unless you're turned off by a silly thing like rape. :roll:
...But no, seriously, it's not as scary of a game. :lol: And the rape is so poorly done, they're fully clothed. :lol: And it's monsters, anyway, not real people. Cause that's how Pyramid Head rollls~
All in all, I thought that SH2 was much scarier than SH3 in the sense that it's quite a psychological game that hits ya hard. SH3's monsters were very creative and frightening, but the game, itself wasn't as scary.
I'd say the rape scene was pretty gruesome considering it was allowed in a game. I'm sure that if there weren't limitations, team silent would have made it much more vile and unbearable.
@Hata- That's not even one of the diary entries, tho. :< And it's not necessarily Stanley... just speculated that it is... I'm so bad at that puzzle btw. I've solved it twice now and I still can't remember it off the top of my head.
ALSO, I just now noticed that quote. lololol. You're so much like Heather, jeez. I would've just accepted the doll. <_<
@Cherry- I was so intimidated by the monsters when I first played 3. :lol: I had it set to normal expecting them to be not GIANT AND EVERYWHERE and then I started playing and freaked out and had to restart on easy (and then, halfway through the game, I died enough times that it unlocked Beginner's. :cry: I stayed on Easy, tho). Of course, that was during Heather's dream sequence, when you're supposed to die. >_>
@demo- I agree, I think... I find SH3 scary like a horror movie and SH2 creepy on the deepest psychological level that stays with me for a long time after I play the game... but it's much easier to be scared by SH3 for me. Like, immediately upon starting up the game, SH3 creeped me out, but it takes a little bit longer with SH2. Which is a good thing, IMO.

I was freaked out at first because I didn't know what to expect. Everything surprised me, but that's how it works with every horror game that I play for the first time. SH3 didn't leave the same lasting impression on me as SH2, or even SH1, did.
Well, I deal better with psychological stuff than "OMG GIANT BLOB RUNNING AT YOU RIGHT NOW AAAAHAHHH"
Because with SH2, I love the creepy psychologicalness of it. It's the whole reason I love the game. I love how everything is a manifestation of James' problems, and how there's all these little things hinting that he's kind of really insane ("oh look, another hole~ Weeeeeee"). It's practically an interactive movie for me. I love twisted shit like that. :lol:
SH3 just made me shit my pants whenever anything ran at her. :lol: Especially those creepy dog things. :gonk: "Lalala-" "RAWR!!!"
I'd say it's more like SH1 in that aspect. Which is not a bad thing, considering it's a direct sequel. :lol: I mean, since the monsters in 1 were much more aggressive, fast, and... well, deadly. Who ever died from a mannequin? No one. :lol:
(Edit: I realize now that I was replying to a part you had directed at Demo... Oh well, Imma butt in on this discussion. :lol: )
*backs up in conversation* I'm with Hammeh. I like melee weapons. I'll only use my firearms when I think it's absolutely necessary.
I'm one of those people who hoard ammunition and health items cause I think for sure i'm not gonna have any when I really need them and sure enough by the end of the game I have much more then I really need. :P
