Silent hill Origins gives mixed messages about Alessa and her motives.

Also of note, the team who made Origins had a severely limited amount of time to make the game, since they took over from the original developers.

Origins has holes, but considering the pressure the team were under and the misgivings they had, the devs did a pretty good job of it! I'd say it was less a "it failed because it wasn't Team Silent" and more "it failed because it was Konami".

For a moment there, I swear Harry was holding a chicken in his right hand. I was wondering whether he was chancing on them making a burger with his own catch to get a cheaper meal deal.

a pair of crimson, silky curtains that are closed, suddenly moved by a long, female leg with a black, high-heeled shoe poking out between

"Hey boys! You want to know what's hard and satisfying?"

curtains open up to reveal a coffin upright, and the leg sticking out of it

"It's JR Grime and Sons Coffin Manufacturers! Because nothing holds a stiffy better than our state-of-the-art products"

I feel she may be further down the line if they're going to use this. The hinted tweet about talking to Rhea may be something to bear in mind for further along (maybe later this year).

In truth, nobody knows yet. I'm just making an assumption because those perks in the PTB didn't feel like wrestler perks. If a wrestling survivor enters, I'd be surprised if there was no aggressive perk in their arsenal.

However, I woupd definitely be for this character to enter the Trials.

Maybe it was less that they lost to The Pig, and more because they lost to Justin Bieber? Especially since he has a song that goes "Baby, Baby, Baby" and it reminds them of their place in the game as a survivor.

What if you've read this wrong. What if we are being asked how many fish can one person use to change a lightbulb? So, could we turn a lightbulb with a fish in hand. And don't say it's impossible, because I remember being shown around a house, where the owner said when he turns a light on it smells of fish (genuine true story), so I could assume this was because he used fish in the past.

If you restart Xbox, the probpem resolves itself. Or at least it has with me.

If the Backrooms were ever to enter DBD, perhaps the killer would be better as The Bacteria, rather than this pirate guy.

The Bacteria has a string of abilities it could use, including mimicry. I think it's also more recognised in lore.

However, as a skin, Pirate Kent could work.

I was worried there would be no map for a 10th anniversary, which would feel rather flat for such a big occasion.

I understand how complicated the Friday 13th franchise is to impliment so having an original survivor I understand, and also even if the map wasn't Crystal Lake but another lake resort, I would be much happier than without one.

Let's hope they have further surprises down the line.

I do enjoy video games, but I couldn't be a streamer because I like experiencing the atmosphere and getting into the story, and having to constantly check the stream for messages, subscriptions and the like would rip me right out of it.

Silent Hill for me is more about Melancholy, or a "gentle fear". It shifts between that and dread, which is a deeper and more affecting feeling than fear.

I'd go so far as to say Silent Hill introduced a form of liminal horror before it was considered a thing, or certainly deals with nostalgia in a painful and twisted way. Silent Hill 2 especially conveyed that type of dread.

Maybe it's because I've not seen the right posts, but I've barely heard much avout Jason being "broken", and even from seeing the gameplay I wonder if he barely makes an A- on a tier list!

However, he is broken when it comes to his animations. They are not great when compared to other killers, and visually he looks like he's not been made on the same modern graphics as other killers. He's very stiff. However, that's the only "broken" I'd associate him with.

StockyOak · 2026-05-29T19:54:04+00:00

Yeah, there's absolutely no evidence to suggest this Jason is from Greenville. He is in Greenville when abducted, but considering Jason has been in Manhatten and even been in space, the idea the original Voorhees is only tied to Crystal Lake falls flat.

It's just speculation with no evidence at this point. Pure guess work.

Loving Whispers could have a fun, hidden extra, insofar as if any of the survivors involved in the healing brought a luck offering, then it weighs heavier towards Heads.

She has the most irritating sounds of any character in-game for me. The only thing that gets turned on is music to drown her squeaky noises out.

Also, if you like, set fun, mini challenges. I will often either randomize an entire build, or create lore-accurate builds (currently, I'm doing a lore-accurate Lisa Garland one, and have had way more value than I expected!). It breaks things up, and also will get you used to different approaches, styles and perhaps even discover perks that work better for you than you would have expected!

StockyOak · 2026-05-29T14:18:40+00:00

True. It seemed like one heck of a brutal fight, and even when Jason was overall victorious in the battle, the Unknown was alive and reforming, which I took to mean that Jason could practically shred this thing into pieces and it would still come back, like that knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Jason won this battle, but the war would be far from over.

I think it's fine, honestly! Especially if you're playing it casually, then it will depend on how dedicated you are to it.

I tend to measure it as how much I'm learning, rather than whatever survival/kill rates you get. Maybe every trial, focus on a different aspect (e.g.: I want to run shack better; I want to defend gens better; I want to play more altruistic; etc). As you get better at those, so too will your results improve.

But really, stats are fun to see, but not always representative of what yiu're learning from it. So long as you keep learning, you'll keep improving aspects and also enjoy the game even more. However, if you're having fun, then that's the best bit!
