Silent Hill 2… What’s the logic here?

Clearly someone hasn’t played SH2. Horseshoe + melted doll = door handle. Best way to unclog a chute? Throw juice at it.

Or the time you had to use a bent needle and hair to fish something out of a drain. That made me laugh.

@Tavi
Wasn’t the needle one of those items you could miss and then you’d get stuck?

@Tavi
In the original, it was just strands of hair. That detail always stuck with me.

Oh no, an IV stand is blocking the way! Guess we can’t go any further… wait, what?

That’s Silent Hill logic for you.

The logic here is laughable, but the game is still amazing.

It’s like complaining about dreams not being realistic.

It’s not a complaint, just funny to point out.

Silent Hill is real in the story. The town creates the horror based on your guilt.

@Raleigh
So James digging in toilets is just his guilt over leaving a clogged public bathroom?

@Raleigh
But are the things in the town actually real or just in their heads?

It’s real but only manifests for the person it’s meant for.

Silent Hill is real, but the horrors are unique to each person. James’s version is his own mental hell.

Exactly. Not all monsters are James’s, like Angela’s dad monster.

It’s not all in his head. Other games in the series make it clear the town itself is supernatural.

Agreed. Almost perfect game.

A tiny wooden duck for a disguise? Sure, just balance it on your head if you’re near water.

Rummaging in the toilet was just a dead herring!

Video game logic has always been weird. Try some old point-and-click games like Phantasmagoria.

Or Monkey Island. Using a monkey as a literal monkey wrench? Totally makes sense.
