I didn't like this game when I bought it, and it's definitely my least favorite Silent Hill, but watching people talk about it online has made me hate it.

>The prevalent theme of sexual frustration ties in, as this beast is practically unclothed, trapped, writhing, has effeminate legs and buttocks, has feet that look like platform shoes, and spews a spray from its chest, possibly mirroring male ejaculation.

The way people talk up the symbolism in this game is embarrassingly pretentious, and when it comes down to it every monster is just a walking penis metaphor.

Did anyone try this game after it was really hyped up for them? Were you horribly disappointed?

One of the best games ever made.

This is completely idiotic and you only have yourself to blame for using that awful fucking wiki.

Congrats. You've devolved into a contrarian.

You'll fit right in here on /v/. Better get shitposting!

No you're just a weak minded, easily malleable, piece of human garbage.

Honestly anon, everyone does this with absolutely anything you can name. There's always people that will be pretentious and overthink something that's not as deep as they think. There's also a lot of people that realize the symbolism is there and just say literally that without fellating the thing they're referencing. Letting others ruin a good game for you seems like a bad idea, because this isn't the only place you're gonna experience this behavior. Sorry if I sound preachy, didn't mean to be. I just used to deal with this a lot personally until I realized it's a quick way to make yourself miserable.

I understand there's a lot of fanfic on the internet, but the vast majority of people who have praised this game fall back on the symbolism as one of the reasons it's genius.
Yahtzee and a lot of other LPers/E-celebs praise the game for these reasons and it seems that the majority of people agree with them. This is mostly where I get this impression from.
