How do you feel about Downpour Dad? 🔨

I will say, it really annoys me that people involved were resistant to playing a criminal because it makes them uncomfortable, as if the whole series isn't full of uncomfortable things

The "Suprise!" ending really feels like a closing memo to the franchise.
It's a brilliant ending

49:16 "and everyone is there: James, Mary, Bobblehead Nurses, and Walter Sullivan."

Henry Townsend: That's fine, Eileen and I didn't want to be there anyway

I'll say this, Downpour gave one of the best lps out of the Two Best Friends back in the day and how I got really into the channel aside from their Machinima stuff.

To me, this game is heavily underrated

There's a fine line between a singular story like SH2 or SH4 that ties into the town in various ways, but when it comes to Homecoming and Downpour, they feel like original horror game ideas given a shoddy Silent Hill paintjob.

While I definitely didn't enjoy Downpour as much as you did, we totally agree on the story. It leaves way too much open, which in the end, almost makes you feel like you accomplished nothing.

Downpour's reveal of the wheelchair man being Colridge is actually one of the most traumatic reveals to me in this series.  Murphy believing that he's fighting a terrible monster when it turns out it was just the prison guard who tried to help him, and the reveal that Colridge lived his life as a crippled broken man due to Murphy's actions is real hard.

SH1-4 are far and away my favorites, but kudos on some of the things these developers tried. Except for Homecoming. None for Gretchen Wieners.

Cant emphasize this enough - Dude your amount of effort on this entire series goes so far above and beyond. You are crushing it! I have loved every single one of these and get so excited when a new one comes out. I have never played a Silent Hill game before but this is still so freakin interesting to me. Thank you for what you do!

Not watched it all yet, obviously, but I am beyond amazed with your output with these videos. To play through them, write commentary and edit the video together in a week is insane.

I liked the simple story and unique look on the Otherworld. Enemies and symbolism are disappointing. Game combat takes a lot to get used to it. Finally, sidequests are the strong dish here with showing how the town's victims can find each other during their own "trials", even the onea that failed to learn

Really glad to see Downpour be given a fair shot, it’s definitely up there as one of my favorite SH games post-Team Silent. This video was very well done and entertaining and brought up some great points about the game. Great work!

Downpour is one of my favorites, I thought the side quests were genuinely creepy and creative. I also loved SH4 The Room.

Downpour: a Silent Hill story. There. Done. It’s in the same universe, but mainly it’s own game. That would’ve made it so much better for a bunch of people

35:00 this part made me feel like I was going crazy hearing him freak tf out while she's calmly praying or whatever

Murphy should have always killed Patrick. That alone would elevate the game's narrative immensely.

I saw a comment on a different channel mentioning how they thought the one being tested by the town(silent hill) is Cunningham and I think this is the case if you think about it. with how Cunningham views Murphy as the boogyman and she fights him as like a final boss(from her perspective), her also being a cop and the monsters looking like prisoners while the screamers probably representing the victims of the prisoners(?). And for the wheelchair creature representing Cunningham's father and the state he was left in after the assault which Cunningham mentioned how frustrating it was to see her father like that

Hey, son. Excellent work as usual. Silent Hill: Downpour honestly had the potential to be the first descent SH game to come out of a western studio that drew no references from any other JP studio titles, but a few key factors held back what it could be, the first of which being the studio itself, being too inexperienced to follow through with their own ideas, second being Konami as usual making terrible penny pinching decisions giving it to an inexperienced studio and third, the studio being forced to work with a game engine they had no idea how to use.

6:40 those type of things in games exist to cover up load times.
