Talk:Great Spear

Symbolism?
Does anyone have any good ideas for what else this weapon could possibly symbolize? If you do, just post it 2 da page, becuz when james stops running from pyramid head is a little to easy. SILENT HILL ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE EASY!!!!--Dfskelleton 22:40, November 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * Symbolism and game difficulty are two separate things, so they aren't directly connected. Symbolism is directly connected to the game plot, whereas game mechanisms only serve the game play. For example, James can be killed by monsters, this is a game play mechanism. But he doesn't die during the course of the story, ("In Water" ending excluded) which means his being able to die is merely a non-canon game mechanism.


 * The game can be as easy or difficult as the player wants it to be, that's why there's a difficulty setting. That doesn't make the symbolism any less potent. In any case, Pyramid Head isn't any easier without his Great Sword. It's quite the opposite. He still cannot be hurt by the Great Knife, and he's much faster when he wields his spear, whereas James becomes slower when he holds the Great Knife, making it almost impossible to outrun Pyramid Head. -- Faded-Myth  Discuss    My Workload  22:48, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
