Who broke all the doors in Silent Hill?

[Toaster]

I was trying to play SH2 with a friend of mine a while back when he said something that kind of stuck.

"Who the hell went through Silent Hill breaking all the damn doors? Did someone just go through the town breaking all the locks? And then **** all over the walls?"

It is called "lazy design function".

You could always think of it as there being a thousand Pyramid Heads behind all those doors.

I guess it'd be better to have to check every room?

IT WAS I WHO BROKE THE LOCKS!


I never actually thought of it that way, Toaster. That is rather interesting.

I do understand as to why they did it that way. You save more memory or whatever for more important things, rather than having a buch of pointless rooms.

I think they have so many broken locks because they were scared that people were going to get bored if they were allowed to enter every room, only to find lots of empty rooms with no point whatsoever, and breaking the lock also made sure people didn't think there was something to find on the other side.

It's kind of cheap, when you really think about it, but it also makes room for more impressive graphics and cut scenes.

The answer was Pyramid Head. Thank you for playing, but everyone can go home.

Probably whoever made the huge craters that block off the streets. What else could they do, have a 3-story hotel with only half a dozen rooms in it? Plus it forces you to check everywhere. You never know which doors are the ones you need to go through.

A good game.... could have used more rust and less door lockage, though.
