THE ART OF SILENT HILL 2 - James Sunderland Concept Art

So far my only complaint with the Silent Hill 2 Remake is Maria’s AI, especially in combat scenarios.

I don’t mind escorting a character around, because I love Resident Evil 4, Silent Hill 4, and other games that have had escort segments

But in the original Maria wasn’t on top of the player during combat sections, this bad…like Maria, please, few feet back or get with the program and fight with me!

you are not a machine. you are more like a garden. you need different things on different days. a little sun today, a little less water tomorrow. you have fallow and fruitful seasons. it is not a design flaw. it is wiser than perpetual sameness. what does your garden need today?

A thing I like about Mouthwashing is that the game never "shows" Anya's SA, either directly or through some artistic metaphor, even if the game is full of shocking moments and disturbing imagery.

Not only does it avoid the cliche of using abuse on women as shock value but it also adds narratively to the story.

Most cases of rape end up being chalked up as "he said, she said" and even if people believed the victim many undermine how awful it actually was, because they just weren't there to see it.

When we see the game from Curly's POV that's exactly what happens, there's a part of him that doesn't believe all that has happened, because he didn't see his friend abuse a woman. The dead pixel is a good metaphor, the way he sees the screen has completely changed, but he can't find that dead pixel, same way he can't find the fault on Jimmy. That's why his first instinct was to ask who's the father.

You can't really say "Oh my god, how is Curly so dense? We all say what Jimmy did!" When none of us has seen anything either.

It also shows how much of a piece of shit Jimmy is, because not one moment of his misery sequences are dedicated to even acknowledging Anya's existence, showing that he doesn't even care that he hurt her, he only felt guilty because there was physical proof of his crimes and was found out as a result.
