Would I miss out on anything major by playing the Silent Hill 2 remake without ever playing the first Silent Hill?

>inb4 just emulate the originals

cuck

Fuck off, zoomer.

>>715544505 (OP)
why ask this question when you've already decided what course of action you're going to take?

you would miss out on playing a good game instead of this piece of shit

Don't know anything about remakes, but you don't need to play the first to enjoy the second.

>>715544505 (OP)
Yes: the actually GOOD GAMES.
The DEmake is fucking awful, and you should never start a series with a sequel. Nor a modern de-make, one that no one wanted to see at that.

>muh emulation!!!
Really now?
Also, SH2-4 got legit PC ports 20 years ago already. Just need fan-patches to run them smooth on modern operating systems:

Incorrect.
SH1 literally improves SH2's experience ten-fold, as it makes the numerous tedios parts more tolerable retroactively.

And the demake is not THE SH2, period.
It represents just about everything wrong with the modern industry.

This must be bait. What kind of thread is this. There's google nigga

Ask @Grok to sum up the mystery and plot of Silent Hill, and play the 2 Remake

Just read the wiki synopsis of the story, then you can pretend you played the Silent Hill series

Fuck off.

No, not really. The second game (both the remake and the original) are pretty self contained.
All you really need to know going in is that Silent Hill is a sacred place that can manifest things from your psyche.

I was telling him to read wikipedia instead of playing the remake. Clearly he doesn't care about the games, just wants to talk about them in discord.
