Would you survive Silent Hill?

[USSR]

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.

 

[USSR]

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.

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

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.

 

[SyphonX]

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.

 

[BreakfastMan]

If Heather, James, and Harry can do it, I sure as hell can. Of course, I do not know what the town has in store for me, but I would think I could handle it... Maybe.

 

[Cogwheel]

Yes because I am monophobic (fear of solitude). The minute the town makes a monster they took away my fear because technically I will no longer be alone. So my Silent Hill experience will be me walking through an empty town slowly checking every corner for nonexistent monsters.

That sounds like something out of an incredibly creepy game in itself. Picture someone wandering through a deserted town, peering into shadows and hopefully whispering "Are you a monster? Please let it be a monster, I don't want to be alone..."

So potentially, you could just scare everyone ELSE.

 

[HT_Black]

I'm pretty good at hiding and, if that fails, I can swing a 2X4 pretty well...so I doubt the pointy-eared assholes in jumpsuits will kill me. The shotgun-toting munchkins and fire-spitting TV sets are another matter, however...and I don't even want to think about how I'd fare against the giant orange cat-patterned blanket and talking slushie cup.

I actually do think I'd survive though, for the simple reason that my interpretation of Silent Hill is different from the canon version.

 

[Alon Shechter]

Great.
Now I want to play Slende--- sorry, Silent Hill.
As of Slender Man is not enough that's looking at me from the bushes.

 

[Jumpingbean3]

I'd easily survive.

I'd go back home.

See, no one ever thinks of that in the beginning. I kept trying to get back into the car, but James didn't seem to understand why! I kept saying, "I've seen the box James, this isn't gonna be pretty. And I'll tell you something else, I don't think your wife's actually waiting for you here. In fact, I'm almost positive this is an elaborate trap."

I think the idea is that once you enter you cannot leave until your business there is settled. Also I think James chose to stay because he didn't want to live in a world without his wife and she was all he had left (which is rather ironic if you know the full story of Silent Hill 2).

As for me I'd never survive Silent Hill especially if it's the Silent Hill where the horror is created by your own psyche. I don't have the self-respect to make it to the end.

 

[dark-amon]

I would have survived, because I'd have the brain to leave the moment something was off.
