To clarify the Hades II discussion for some folks, the updated ending... (1) ...alters much of the lead up to the ending, as some early and midgame conversations with key figures were also rewritten to make the ending less jarring. (2) ...was released with full VO and new artwork mere weeks after launch, which I speculate to mean Supergiant were already working on the edits well beforehand. (3) ...in in beta and remains a work in progress with no release date, meaning Supergiant may make even more alterations before pushing it to everyone. Speculatively, it sounds like Supergiant themselves weren't happy with how Hades II launched, but had to rush release to appease some outside force (e.g. Nintendo, investors, etc). Personally, I hope Supergiant returns to making original stories again. While Hades II is a solid time, both Transistor and Pyre have shown that they are capable of so much more in terms of writing and worldbuilding.

For what it's worth, my five playthroughs of SHf took about 38 hours in total (Hard/Hard, LitF/LitF, then Story/Story for the other three). The first run took roughly 18 hours. It's a bigger time commitment than I expected, but the extra content in each subsequent playthrough is so good that it's hard not to recommend. Besides the new cutscenes and dialogue, there are new files scattered throughout the game that add a ton of nuance. One thing that really helps is how clearly the game marks which cutscenes are new, making it easy to skip everything else. I really love Ryukishi07's work, in particular Higurashi, so it was a delight to work my way through f.

Id like to say that you really should do multiple play throughs of silent hill f rather than just looking up the endings because there's so many changes throughout and some of those scenes in thee final area which are absolutely integral. you can save scum after your second ending to see the other one without missing anything but you need to do 3 playthroughss minimum to see the final ending

Congratulations Jacob! Being from Scotland, I loved hearing about your time in Skye. It really is one of the most beautiful places in the world.
