When Horror Becomes Too Much: Silent Hill 2 Fan Offers Cash To Whoever Will Play With Them
To make it less scary, a Silent Hill 2 fan offers money to anyone who will sit with them as they play.
One of the pioneering collections of horror in video games, Silent Hill is most recognized for its original trilogy, of which many believe Silent Hill 2 to be the greatest. Silent Hill 2 continues to compel players despite its reputation as one of the scariest video games ever developed at the time of its initial release.
One fan has made a plea for someone to join them and offer moral support while they play through the terrible experience.
Chris Holt, a Facebook Marketplace user, posted an offer to pay someone $15 to play Silent Hill 2 with them and assist in making the experience “not too scary.”
Holt’s listing indicates that they are looking to hire a friend to help them during ten gaming sessions, lasting roughly two hours each. The total payment for the shared experience is $15.
Given that Silent Hill 2 is one of the scariest video games ever made, Holt’s appeal for backup is both funny and reasonable.
Really, How Terrifying Is Silent Hill 2?
Many made humorous comments regarding the Marketplace listing, but others talked about the game’s terrible reputation.
Some users emphasized that Silent Hill 2’s eerie content was a big factor in the game’s long-term success, while others pointed out that the game’s vintage controls and graphics greatly added to the otherworldly dread of the title.
Horror fans highly admire the Silent Hill series, which has consistently relied on isolation and psychological horror to propel terror across the franchise. The question of whether the planned Silent Hill 2 remake will live up to the immersive terror of the original or if it will fall short has been raised by the unfavorable reaction to Silent Hill: The Short Message and the unfavorable reviews of Silent Hill: Ascension.
However, the original Silent Hill 2 is still regarded as one of the greatest horror games ever made, even as fans eagerly await the arrival of the sequel.
