“To many people’s surprise, the story of Silent Hill had aroused the passion of many psychology and mysticism enthusiasts. ”
“Moreover, all the players who were well-versed in psychology had very high reviews for the game after they cleared Silent Hill or cleared it through the video. ”
!!
“The reason for this was that the horror of Silent Hill was built on a psychological level. Since all the monsters were formed from the dark side of James ‘subconscious, they must have their own meanings. ”
“The ugly appearance of the monsters was symbolic, and the players who studied psychology could really analyze the meaning of the monsters ‘appearance. ”
“The thick fog in Silent Hill meant that James couldn’t see his true heart, and the iron cages and doors that blocked the roads meant that James couldn’t escape his inner evil. ”
“Before meeting Fat Eddie, James had seen a body with a black and white TV covered in snowflakes in front of it. If one looked closely, this corpse was actually James himself. This arrangement indicated the final death of James ‘mind. However, whether James would die or not depended on whether he could walk out of the shadow in his heart. ”
“And the important character Mary in the game was actually the “”perfect woman”” in James’s heart. She was a scantily-dressed nightclub dancer who would always tease and hint at James, but she was constantly killed by Pyramid Head. The terrifying Pyramid Head was actually the symbol of self-destruction and violence in James ‘heart. The pyramid Head had repeatedly killed other monsters and Maria, showing the extreme contradiction and chaos in James’ inner world. ”
“As for Angela, Eddie, and Laura, different players had different opinions. ”
“Some people thought that they were the reflections of James ‘suicidal tendencies, murder tendencies, and innocence. Some people thought that the three of them really came to Silent Hill. Just like James, Angela and Eddy carried the scars in their hearts and eventually destroyed themselves in Silent Hill. Lola, on the other hand, had a pure heart, so in her eyes, Silent Hill was just a peaceful and safe town. ”
“In the end, if James chose to leave with Mary, it would mean that he had given in to his inner desires and sealed himself in Silent Hill forever. If he left with Laura, it would mean that he had finally walked out of the shadow and started a new life. ”
The monsters in the game also had their own meanings.
“The triangular head was a reflection of James ‘tyranny and guilt, representing James’ trial and punishment for his crimes. Because James felt helpless about his crimes, he couldn’t hurt the pyramid Head. He could only escape helplessly and watch it kill Maria again and again, repeating James’s crime of killing his wife. In the end, when James understood the truth and decided to face his crime, he finally defeated the pyramid heads and killed them. ”
“The patient monster (“”brother in the pocket””) that was wrapped in flesh represented James ‘hatred for his wife’s illness, and the four-legged monster represented the result of James’s sexual fantasies … ”
……
“Of course, everyone had a different interpretation of Silent Hill. ”
“This was because the story itself was full of metaphors and hints. Since it was a world conjured by the subconscious, it must be chaotic and illogical. ”
“Different players could interpret the characters and the ending of Silent Hill according to their own wishes. Like many movies with plot and suspense, the director would often leave blank space on purpose to let the audience argue. ”
“For example, in Chen Mo’s previous life, did the spinning top stop or not? No one could say for sure, because the director had deliberately cut off the scene at that moment, leaving a permanent suspense. ”
“No matter if it was a game or a movie, the creators of the story didn’t want to create a clear and definite ending. ”
What’s the point of an official rule on the truth? It would only cause the audience and players to lose their imagination.
“On the contrary, this kind of deliberate blank space allowed everyone to have their own ending in their mind. In the process of constant reasoning and analysis of the details, they slowly approached the truth that they believed, which made everyone experience different feelings. ”
……
……
“Of course, no matter how they analyzed Silent Hill’s inner meaning and praised its artistic value, they had to admit that the game had indeed left a psychological shadow in many players ‘hearts … ”
“Many players were working hard to get the guaranteed top 50000 spots, but the 50000 spots disappeared too quickly. It was even faster than many players had imagined. ”
“This was normal. Thunderbolt gaming platform had so many VR players, and with Silent Hill’s 98 RMB price tag, it would be easy to find 50000 players to clear the game. ”
Many of the players who heard that the 50000 player list was out broke down on the spot. They felt like they had lost a hundred million!
“He had suffered so much in Silent Hill, and he had been scared by all kinds of tricks, but he still couldn’t reach the threshold of the top 50000! ”
“However, most of the players were caught in a very contradictory mentality. ”
“Let’s continue playing. The top 50000 spots are gone. Even if we clear the game, we can only choose one game. ”
“Let’s stop playing. We’re already halfway through the game. If we give up now, wouldn’t we lose a lot of money? ”
I’ve suffered in vain!
“Therefore, many players had a headache for a long time, but they still chose to continue. ”
“Let’s continue! They were already halfway through the game, and if they persisted, they could still get 1980 Assassin’s Creed If he gave up now, he would not get any rewards. ”
“Moreover, from the feedback of the players who had cleared the game, Silent Hill was indeed a godly game. It was scary, but the game had a deep meaning, and the multiple endings were interesting. ”
It was indeed a pity to give up halfway.
“With this mentality, the players who didn’t clear the game in time still continued to persist and clenched their teeth to clear the game. ”
……
Chen Mo chuckled. This was the effect he wanted.
The reward for the top 50000 was just to give everyone a wonderful bubble and encourage the players to work hard to advance in the game.
“By the time the players realized that the rewards for the top 50000 were gone, they would have already gotten used to the game. With the mentality of “”it’s a loss if you don’t clear the game””, most of them would still choose to continue being tortured in the game. ”
This way … Wouldn’t he have enough resentment points?
“Even though he had given out many copies of the game, the players deserved it. ”
“After all, it was only right to exchange one’s life for money with one’s ability. ”
“Chen Mo lost money and gained a lot of distress points. Hmm, this was barely a fair deal. ”
“The players who had cleared Silent Hill all cried and said,””””I won’t touch this game again! I’m going to the seaside mansion to find Nuannuan!”” ”
