SILENT HILL HOMECOMING (Zero Punctuation) 

2:44 "Imagine if there was some kind of parallel universe where every game and movie, regardless of genre, was required to incorporate at least one linedancing competition." Let me tell you a little about Bollywood, Yahtzee.

"I lost one of the three symbols I need to unlock my door this morning" lol

"Sean Bean Doing Something Totally Fucking Irrelevant" was the name of my hardcore band in high school.

The last part is absolutely right. Fans are never ever satisfied with anything. Even if they love the games you make, they just demand more and more.

I wish Yahtzee did more of those little skits at the end

"Fans are clingy complaining dipshits who will never ever be grateful for any concession you make. The moment you shut out their shrill, tremulous voices the happier you will be for it." Best lines spoken in a video game review. I quote this all the time.

It's so unnerving to hear Yahtzee actually speak regularly at the end segment. I knew it was him from the moment he started talking, but some part of my brain still needs convincing that this man who speaks at a regular, human pace and stops for breaths between sentences is , in fact, him.

The random part after the credits is amazing

I think the romantic subplot is introduced to show that, as Mr Plinkett would say, the protagonist has a case of the not-gays.

"There is no officially no shame in using GameFAQs to solve that bloody coat of arms sliding block puzzle." Feeling very validated.

Poor Leslie.

"If im not dreading every single monster its not horror is it? Its setting up a pest control business". Thats very true.

"I killed the black guy and got the bad ending" Me:"Are you sure this games american?"

Ah man Yahtzee you really need to start making skits at the end of your videos, they're always so well written and hilarious!!!

I wonder who'd be The Silent Hill Homecoming Queen

"...I lost one of the three symbols I need to unlock my door..."

6:15 "You've got me mistaken for someone else, todays not a-" "I KNOW TODAYS NOT ACTU-" XD that part always kills me. Yahtzee should do more voice acting. His delivery there is a perfect mix of aggravation and frustration.

I liked this just for the End Credit scene.

The guy that jumps out of the TV is Lord Britain isn’t it

05:06 is probably my all-time favorite ZP bonus bit.

I have a great idea for the next Silent Hill game. You play as Sean Bean, overwhelmed by the guilt and shame of starring in those awful Silent Hill movies. Bosses can include monstrous versions of pissed off fans of the first 4 games. talentless directors and even Sean Bean's character from Red Riding asking him how he could have starred in something as great as that after being in something as terrible as the Silent Hill film.

"Who are you?" "Oh fuck off" *Hangs up*

I would have bought this a lot sooner if they had actually named it "The adventures of Captain Scowlyface and his angsty little pal".

I also hate the trope that everything needs a romantic subplot.

It occurs to me in hindsight that when Yahtzee talks about the difference between Japanese and American horror and then immediately admits that he's just describing Resident Evil, he should take into account the fact that Resident Evil was quite obviously an explicit attempt by a Japanese game developer to make a game based around American-style horror- especially by the 4th main game. Hell, the early games were set in and around the most stereotypically Midwestern American city you could imagine, and the basis of the plot was "zombie apocalypse". Silent Hill is set in America as well, but despite the very superficial similarities to Resident Evil, it couldn't be less stereotypically American without digging up the entire town and moving it to Japan.

A Brit's condemnation of American cultural imposition from his home is Australia makes me giggle.

the love intrest thing is more of a Hollywood thing than an American thing. i mean ive asked the question myself a few times

ok that bit at the end just cracks me up

The "after credits" feels like forbidden knowledge

Honestly, half of his problems would be solved if he calmed down and discussed things normally when his dad goes to destroy something

He really needs do more of these voice overs. I love them.

4:35 Thank you Yahtzee, I'll keep that message to heart.

"Incidentally why not buy a Zero Punctuation T-shirt?"

I loved, loved, loved this game. The only thing better than playing it was doing New Game+ with the frickin' space laser.

This was my first Silent Hill game... I know worst entry to start the series with. But what really drew me into the thick and horrible atmosphere was the happy occasion of returning home (seemingly from war) and finding your house and town twisted, decayed and completely deserted, the land all around is literally coming apart and the sky is constantly dark. It's a scene straight out of a depressant induced nightmare.

When watching any of these videos with the escapist logo at the beginning, i always have no choice but to watch them in 240p

"Hello Mr Massion, this Lezly from the cleaners" "Who are you?" "...OH FUCK OFF"

I love this game, not because of the story, not because of the atmosphere, but because it's the only silent hill I've ever played you could master the melee fighting skills to a point you could fight any monster without getting hit. I know, I know..Action "horror" games have been on for a while...but jesus fu**ing christ, IT'S A SILENT HILL GAME! a game that you're never supposed to have the upper hand against several enemies.

I want a horror game attached to a heart rate monitor. As your rate rises the controls get harder, like a dream where you can’t run away from the monster properly.

The moment you realize that sean bean who played harry mason, did not die in the movies, not even once. SEAN BEAN PLAYED A CHARACTER THAT DID NOT DIE HOLY FUCKING SHIT. Probably the most note worthy thing from the silent hill movies.

04:35 - 04:43 Perfectly sums up star wars fans after seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi

0:46 Enough said.

There was a silent hill movie? Never been so happy to be oblivious.

i die for the skit every time at the end

1. Silent Hill 4 did the whole female sidekick thing too, nobody complained. 2. Apparently, that's not the true Pyramid Head. He was renamed the Bogeyman. And if you look at the pictures, you'll see that instead of representating something, he acts as a kind of keeper of the underworld who punishes people for their sins, like when he slices Alex's father in half. 3. The monsters, I still have no idea about. I know the bosses represent the kids' deaths, but I'm not sure about the rest. Maybe it represents the horrors that the Order is trying to keep at bay? Idk, I'm just guessing right now. (I know the numbers were a bit irrelevant, I just saw it as a way of organizing my thoughts.)

Can you believe the guys who made this game also made the new Killer Instinct and Strider games!?

It looks like there were two more souls to the call.

11 years late and this is as relevant as never before lol

i lost one of the 3 symbols i need to unlock my front door. lol

To be honest, this review immolates my thoughts about the forthcoming Silent Hills game.

You hit the nail on the head with the whole franchise. The phone bit at the end was hilarious! xD

HAH! The skit at the end was hilarious.

The way Yahtzee put that Leaf Headband on makes me wonder whether he was trying to cosplay Kakashi. Probably not though.

+dave55811 "Yeilds any hope"? One of the greatest factors of Silent Hill that made it so terrifying was it's subtlety, and Kojima and "subtlety" don't exactly go well together.

This was my first Silent Hill game and luckily for me they only got better.

The bit after the credits earned this one a spot in my favorites.

Okay aside from their exports there isn't much I like about Japan. But I will admit their horror stories are much better than Western horror. Exception made for H.P. Lovecraft who is the undisputed king of horror in my opinion.

Homecoming is flawed, but it’s an ok game.

Fun fact, my copy of prince of Persia broke. Middle of a platform level where the girl had to stand in a place but she wouldn't move. Reloaded and she still wouldn't move. Attempted everything and she wouldn't move. It was at least halfway through the game. Maybe three quarters. So either I restart and play all through again, weeks of work. Or give up and delete it to play the Sims 4. On an unrelated note, I have a vampire daughter and an alien wife 😊

2:41 But Yahtzee, there was some sort of love intererst in every Silent Hill game (except the 3rd one)

Am I the only one who loves this game?

The sad turth is that it is over

i love the ending, if someone was to make a series out of cleverly reworded cutscenes i would subscribe in a heartbeat

It become obvious real quickly that I come from a different world from this guy - I know he's all about playful mockery, but it seems I love everything he despises.

Leasly kinda reminds me of don from jam

They used Pyramid Head's movie design. Unacceptable

Just saying the nurses in the movie made a bit of sense they symbolised the lost of beauty and adulthood.

I just got a really weird advert about a transforming micro-sd card entirely in french.

To be honest, I really like this game :(

Is this the longest ZP?

The end bit was hilarious!

i can agree with the nurse thing but i do really like when silent hill includes the Pyrimid Head

i actually did like Silent Hill the movie. at least the first one.. the second one was deep fried tampon.

I agree about the romance shoe horn thing. People are so interested in relationships and sexual attraction, they think they need it to get people invested in anything. I myself am asexual so that kind of bullshit only takes me out of the story. Seriously.

0:46 yup that's me right there (except for the round eyes thing)

Makes sense that Resident Evil follows your description of American horror when it always tried so fucking hard to be American horror

This game just feels like a 13 year old girls deviantart fanfic.

I'm american and I find this video.. Accurate.

He would also have to avoid screeching atrocities that constantly screem "Press X to not die".

I have been a Yahtzee fan for just over half a decade and only now have I found the secret ending after the end credits sequence of this review.

0:44 - 0:54 he is talking about weeaboos

I actually though of a character for a silent hills game (though it is kind of pointless) This girl (who i am yet to name) takes a bet from her friends to stay in the town for one week, but she chickens out after the first day, because she had the feeling all day that something was watching her and heard children playing, a car crash but no car, and the children screaming, but a monster who she thinks looks familiar (who I want to call the Butcher) Slashes her tires and then chases her into a building, there she finds a hand gun and trys to fight back, but the gun is empty and the butcher slowly creeps towards her, lifting his knife...

Sadly I suggest this, if your going to play it, it’s a ok game, yeah you will get very annoyed at the game. What I suggest you do is just the moment you get a weapon and you fight the first enemy just keep restarting the first section of the game, I do advise just getting used to the very simple combat combo, most the bosses are slow but can do some decent damage but the big thing is when you are walking through the town, deal with the enemies as fast as possible. My fist run through suffered for the lack of ammo and health items, but I do suggest if your going for all the ends, for the love of god get the alien ending and stick with that costume to grab your lucky laser pistol, then you can run through the game went so much faster, my only issue was the sliding cube puzzle in the attic, the puzzle to read the poem and to match it to the shape, and the last puzzle of attach triangle peace to plate in church, and only reason I had issue is because crummy memory of oh hey wait this podcast is really good.

My superstar favorite games tag team is: - Sonic Heroes - No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

The Japanese do horror better generally. Just like America does action pretty well. We've all got our strong suits so lets stick to them.

Japanese horror has subtlety, while American horror is cliche and predictable.🤔😒

I expected someone from the Matrix to answer the phone, at least the first time.

i don't know where you heard that bit about ph. in sh2, it's the physical manifestation of james's secret desire to be punished. in homecoming, it's a monster representing joshua's sacrifice. like scarlet's monster and the sepulcher.

That last bit proves what I always thought: The best parodies are made by people who love the subject. Because only the ones who really love something are the ones who can see the faults.

I wish Yahtzee still did those silly skits at the end of vids.

I laughed at the description before the video even started.

You forgot the part where he's haunted by the eternal narration of Kojima.

2:02 - Wrong, he´s Jaaaaaaaaaames Sunderland

I feel like the Amnesia series picked up where Silent Hill left off, at least Dark Descent and Justine. Machine for Pigs was intriguing, but it ultimately came off to me as being not quite so gripping. Probably because the condemnations of Gilded Age society the game makes are so ubiquitous and obvious that at this point it's no more of a social commentary than saying 'Nazis were bad'.

I bet he's wanted to do that little bit at the end for a LONG time. XD

The fan commentary subject is why I don't take fanbases too seriously. You can have your thoughts, and opinions if you wish, but at the end its best to never bother listening to them because none may become pleased than you are when you craft that item just for giggles or simple boredom.

"Hello Mr. Mason? It's Leslie from the cleaners we're gonna have to charge extra from the bloodstains" "Who are you?" "OH FUCK OFF"

The Sean Bean part is hilarious

Fun fact: Double Helix Games also made GI Joe, Green Lantern and Battleship games

That dialtone at the end had me thinking of Soft Cell...
