You know, the slug one would be a lot more horrifying if it wasn't all teethy. Slugs _slowly_ digest food. Being dragged into its maw and devoured immediately would be a mere moment of pain, but if the slug was realistic (just fast), it'd slither over him and proceed to essentially lick him to death. They have no teeth so use their tongues, and their tongues are said to be "like a conveyor belt of sandpaper". Imagine that but the size of a pool noodle, lashing and tugging at flesh, chunks the size of coins ripped off in their hundreds with each stroke. It'd be akin to atomization. It wouldn't be fast, it wouldn't be "You're dead", it would be maybe a solid half hour of screaming agony as the creature savours every single lashing of meat beneath it. I get that people like to have monsters with the munches cos it's visceral and throws back to people's love for Grindhouse films and the gore in them, but sometimes horror can be found in the simplicity of nature.
I have been searching for this game title for months because this game was memorable to me when watching someone playthrough 2 years ago. Thank goodness I subscribed to you. Ending A is better because Victor can let go of his grief and reminds me of Silent Hill 2 Leave ending.
No happy endings aloud: The game. Honestly thought I liked ending A over ending S but thinking again, maybe Victor deserves this fate considering he was willing to unalive his/a child just to bring back his wife. :/
Overall, yes. Combat is rough since guns are better saved for bosses (which make them significantly easier as most die in a few shots, and you don't have enough ammo to consistently kill normal mobs with guns) and melee combat is pretty much hit then dodge and repeat (the hitboxes are a bit wonky for some critters - I sometimes had to hit up/down instead of left/right as their reach exceeded mine and will usually hit you before your swing goes off). There's also an annoying feature where you have infinite stamina for running until a monster is nearby at which point you can only run a very short distance before Victor is left helpless for a second or two to catch his breath (you quickly learn to run in short bursts to get around this). This also applies if the monster is completely stationary like the poison cloud spewing flowers in the garden that you can ignore 99% of the time. Otherwise it's very RE1 style gameplay of 9 slots to carry items, you look for items and keys to solve puzzles (and like RE1 there's a saber that you have to replace with a wooden sword to safely take), and limited saves through using ink at writing desks (this can be disabled for infinite saving but I had 5-6 ink left at the end of the game and saved pretty liberally to die to stuff). There are three difficulties which I played on Hard but didn't notice it being too difficult. I did die in 2-3 hits from big enemies which might be difficulty related but once you understand an enemy's pattern taking them down isn't difficult at all. You probably do end up killing most things just because of the stamina issue I mentioned above.
Not sure, usually folks with early keys will beat me to the punch there and combined with more realistic looking deaths leading to age-restricted videos (like my RE4 death compilation) and that I've never played any Silent Hill games before whereas I played RE1-3 as a kid (and after playing RE2 & 3 remakes I was cool to give RE4 remake a go) I'm a bit disinclined.
A demon with a fork is the most dangerous kind of demon. For he is armed with etiquette and table manners.
Your Ways to Die videos are always endlessly entertaining. Thanks for your many postings over the years.
Thanks for your kind words!

This is 18th version of Silent Hill where protag try to save his wife from the death but the sacrifice must be completed
The dark souls death text is fuckin hilarious
How to immediately kill any horror. Add a dark souls game over screen, and I mean that in the best way possible
What is your opinion about the game? Is it good?

Are you going to do Silent Hill 2 remake?
