Tale Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Imagine you are lost in the woods. After a few hours stumbling about, a fog descends and you find yourself on a trail. You follow it fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, your perception of time has gone and it could be hours and you happen upon a fork in the road accompanied by a sign. The left path leads to Raccoon City and the right leads to the town of Silent Hill. Both these names are familiar to you as well as the reason for their notoriety. However, you must go forward and you must choose a path. Which path do you choose? Edited January 21, 2008 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Tale Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Silent Hill. Because I like scary games. Wrong forum? *facepalm* I had hoped the appropriate context of the question would have been a little more obvious. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Pidesco Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I choose Raccoon City. It's known for being populated by very stupid and slow people, which makes surviving a lot easier. As long as a powerful, invisible grand designer doesn't hold your legs while you attack them, of course.

Tale Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) I'd choose Raccoon City just for it being a city that obeys the laws of a semi-rational universe. Silent Hill? Fudge no, all bets are off. Living mannaquins, pyramids for heads, all manners of monstrosity and events that just. should. not. be.

Gfted1 Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 (edited) Well, Im not sure what Racoon City is but Silent Hill is full of evil spirits and whatnot so Ill choose the dum-dums in Racoon City. EDIT: The all knowing wiki has informed me that Raccoon City is the town in RE. Hmm, tough choice. Ill stay with Raccoon City. Zombies can be blasted, evil spirits cant.

Tale Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Well, Im not sure what Racoon City is but Silent Hill is full of evil spirits and whatnot so Ill choose the dum-dums in Racoon City. You never played Resident Evil? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Gfted1 Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Nope, never played. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Tigranes Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Neither, but anything with Raccoons has to be better than Silent Hill.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 I would choose Raccoon City... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Sand Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Take me down to Racoon City where the grass is green and the girls are... um... itchy... tasty...

Tale Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Wow, I was hoping there'd be more of a fight. Nobody's willing to choose Silent Hill over Racoon City. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Sand Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Zombies are physical and make that satisfying crunch sound when you take a baseball bat to their skulls. For some odd reason you just don't get the same level of joy out of fighting spirits.

Istima Loke Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Raccon city. I like the blue fog and I can't stand the white. I think therefore I am? Could be! Or is it really someone else Who only thinks he's me?

theslug Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Never played either game but I love cats and racoons might as well be as close as it'll come so why not. There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.
Humodour Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Silent Hill. Wikipedia says most of the badassery is based off fear and I'm a pretty unfearing guy.
Hell Kitty Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I choose Silent Hill, because Raccoon City gets nuked.
Guest The Architect Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I'll mace my way through Racoon City. Yeah, sure. You couldn't even mace your way through Ant City, ****face. I choose Silent Hill. Fear is for the weak! If I can fight the Internets, then I can fight Silent Hill! I haven't played RE or SH, for the record.
Musopticon? Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I choose Silent Hill, because Raccoon City gets nuked. Same. And I'll gladly take an alternate shadow reality which transforms the locals into manifestations of your unconscious fears over a town full of shotgun-wielding maniacs and living dead any day. Not to mention, the former has so far given a chance of survival to every odd straggler that decides to stumble inside its borders, but to enter Raccoon City you absolutely need assault and weaponry training in order to survive the various genetically enhanced monstrosities and zombie hordes. At least in Silent Hill I can survive with a lead pipe and my wits about. Also, no need to eat and a hot nurses. Another interesting comparison that springs to mind would be between the village in Forbidden Siren and the mall in Dead Rising. First is hell on earth, second is full of psychopaths and a million zed-heads. Edited January 22, 2008 by Musopticon? kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
