I really like Silent Hill, but that is just the stupidest name for a game.
I don’t think so, it’s the name of the town where it takes place. I’d argue that it’s no better or worse than resident evil, stardew valley, or world of Warcraft.
It's the "f" that makes it stupid.
It’s the name of a fictitious town in Maine, where things are deeply wrong. People who are subjected to the town end up accounting for their worst impulses via physical manifestations of terrible things. Interestingly enough, most of the time it’s incredibly bright in Silent Hill, easy to see the individually-exclusive monsters coming… were it not for the overwhelming fog with a character of its own.
They're probably referring to "f", not "Silent Hill"
Wait is that not a typo
At least according to Wikipedia, the "f" at the end is indeed part of the intended game name.
