Hell yeah brother

I would suggest playing the OGs just to see what they're like but can't recommend putting serious time into them. (Especially if it means you'll get to SMT1 quicker)

Was it right when you go to the dark shrine for the first time? Because that did happen to me

"Silent" is already a descriptor so i propose that Silent Hill should play like The Quiet Man or be struck down for false advertising

I've had tales of berseria on my brain lately so you should play that if you haven't already

Even aside from all the reasons to ignore it this year in particular, it's always just been Keighley's attempt to feel important to the industry and make friends with the devs he thinks are important (again to make himself more important). It's not even fun to make jokes about anymore so fuck 'em.

to your point, everyone needs to listen to this at least once

I can't believe how perfect your silent hill opinions are

My second playthrough was half the length of the first and now my third is a quarter in length. If you were frustrated by combat in the main play, it's a lot more bearable in NG+ especially after the recent patch. So give it a shot! Plus the funny joke ending is super worth it.
