'''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''' is a turn based RPG developed by Nintendo.

BWTP has a split decision between '''The Original Gamecube Release''' and the '''Switch 2 remaster'''.

The HD texture pack is a '''must have''' It is extremely faithful to the original art direction and is a strict improvement. TTYD+ fixes translation issues and incorrect item descriptions, as well as restoring censorship from the Japanese release. For a 100% faithful play-through this can be skipped.

Install all three required patches before first launch. The base Steam release has frame pacing issues and incorrect fog distances on modern hardware. Run the game once before applying patches to generate the .ini file.

{{BWTP/Note|Choose this if you want the authentic PS2 experience or prefer not to mod. Lacks all Enhanced Edition improvements but is otherwise a complete and stable version of the game.}}

== Platform notes ==
The [[Steam Enhanced Edition]] is maintained by a community team and receives ongoing updates. It is available free to anyone who already owns the original PC version on Steam, and at standard price otherwise.

The [[PlayStation 3]] HD Collection version is a port of the PC version rather than the PS2 original and introduced numerous bugs including broken audio mixing, degraded fog effects, and altered enemy behavior. It is not recommended under any circumstances.

The original [[Xbox]] version is functionally identical to the PS2 release with minor texture improvements but is no longer available for purchase on any digital storefront and requires original hardware or a softmodded console.

== Version history ==
The game has seen several releases since its original 2001 launch. The Enhanced Edition represents the most significant revision, incorporating years of community fixes into a single maintained package. See [[Silent Hill 2/Version differences]] for a full breakdown.

{{BWTP/Infobox

}}
'''Silent Hill 2''' is a 2001 survival horror game developed by [[Team Silent]] and published by [[Konami]]. It is the second installment in the [[Silent Hill series]] and follows [[James Sunderland]], who travels to the eponymous town after receiving a letter from his deceased wife. Widely regarded as one of the greatest video games ever made, it is praised for its psychological horror, atmosphere, and use of symbolism.

Multiple versions of the game exist across platforms with significant differences in performance, content, and stability. The PC Enhanced Edition is the clear recommendation for most players, though the PS2 original remains a valid choice via emulation.

== Platform notes ==
The [[Steam Enhanced Edition]] is maintained by a community team and receives ongoing updates. It is available free to anyone who already owns the original PC version on Steam, and at standard price otherwise.

The [[PlayStation 3]] HD Collection version is a port of the PC version rather than the PS2 original and introduced numerous bugs including broken audio mixing, degraded fog effects, and altered enemy behavior. It is not recommended under any circumstances.

The original [[Xbox]] version is functionally identical to the PS2 release with minor texture improvements but is no longer available for purchase on any digital storefront and requires original hardware or a softmodded console.

== Version history ==
The game has seen several releases since its original 2001 launch. The Enhanced Edition represents the most significant revision, incorporating years of community fixes into a single maintained package. See [[Silent Hill 2/Version differences]] for a full breakdown.

What is "best" anyway?

2026-04-24T23:57:51Z

BWTP Admin:

This page goes over the conduct, philosophy, and is the guideline for editing of this wiki.

first of all- definitions.

<blockquote>"Best Way To Play is a wiki designed to <b>give information on the best setup to play video games</b>."</blockquote>

The term "best" in the context of this wiki is to be interpreted as "producing the greatest utility and satisfaction" and the term "setup" refers to "the hardware and software used to get a video game running".

Words, I know.

Second first. 'Setup' includes but is not limited to
* The version and platform a game is best experienced on
* Quality of Life patches (translations, resolution/aspect ratio)
* The best controller for gameplay (if particularly relevant or non-standard)

and First second; It's cute to have a Websters citing, but what do we really mean here?

"greatest utility and satisfaction" is subjective, it's a "I know it when I see it" sort of thing really.

Now it is ultimately subjective (as art is) as to what the best way to play some games are. [[Soul Calibar II|Some games have mutually exclusive platform dependent content]] while [[Disney's Epic Mickey|others have different controller based play experiences]]. In these cases when games diverge, both are to be listed.

==Conduct==
This wiki is first and foremost a resource to give information on the best way to play games. Despite the fact that this wiki constantly states the "best" way to play a game, it does so via the (dubious, but inevitable) invisible authority of the gaming community at large. And simply presents this information from a neutral point of view. If there is a split it is the responsibility of the wiki to list both setups as long as there is reason to believe that both setups are valid as to the best way to play a game.

==Quality of Life==

Most would agree that better performance leads to a better game. (Except the cut-scene of the 4 giants stopping the moon in Zelda: Majora's Mask. The lag-reduction on re-releases of this game make the music in the cut-scene get abruptly cut off instead of being timed properly to the lag.)

Many would also say that widescreen is also a great improvement for most games (except first person horror games that intentionally have a limited FOV)

Many would say that backporting the spindash from future titles to Sonic the Hedgehog would also be a great improvement (except the game plays differently without it, and the nuance of the momentum based mechanics are lost upon adding this ability)

Notice how each example given has issues? It's a slippery slope to list more quality of life features as the "best" way to play a game as the artists intent gets left behind. This wiki is coining this term [[Quality Of Life|QoL-creep]].

<blockquote>
Dude, this wiki is here so that you know to play Arkham City on PC instead of the WiiU. Not so that you can autisticly list all 7000 Skyrim mods you have together and say it's the "best" - BWTP_Admin</blockquote>

What is "best" anyway?

This page goes over the conduct, philosophy, and is the guideline for editing of this wiki.

first of all- definitions.

<blockquote>"Best Way To Play is a wiki designed to <b>give information on the best setup to play video games</b>."</blockquote>

The term "best" in the context of this wiki is to be interpreted as "producing the greatest utility and satisfaction" and the term "setup" refers to "the hardware and software used to get a video game running".

Words, I know.

Second first. 'Setup' includes but is not limited to
* The version and platform a game is best experienced on
* Quality of Life patches (translations, resolution/aspect ratio)
* The best controller for gameplay (if particularly relevant or non-standard)

and First second; It's cute to have a Websters citing, but what do we really mean here?

"greatest utility and satisfaction" is subjective, it's a "I know it when I see it" sort of thing really.

Now it is ultimately subjective (as art is) as to what the best way to play some games are. [[Soul Calibar 2|Some games have mutually exclusive platform dependent content]] while [[Disney's Epic Mickey|others have different controller based play experiences]]. In these cases when games diverge, both are to be listed.

==Conduct==
This wiki is first and foremost a resource to give information on the best way to play games. Despite the fact that this wiki constantly states the "best" way to play a game, it does so via the (dubious, but inevitable) invisible authority of the gaming community at large. And simply presents this information from a neutral point of view. If there is a split it is the responsibility of the wiki to list both setups as long as there is reason to believe that both setups are valid as to the best way to play a game.

==Quality of Life==

Most would agree that better performance leads to a better game. (Except the cut-scene of the 4 giants stopping the moon in Zelda: Majora's Mask. The lag-reduction on re-releases of this game make the music in the cut-scene get abruptly cut off instead of being timed properly to the lag.)

Many would also say that widescreen is also a great improvement for most games (except first person horror games that intentionally have a limited FOV)

Many would say that backporting the spindash from future titles to Sonic the Hedgehog would also be a great improvement (except the game plays differently without it, and the nuance of the momentum based mechanics are lost upon adding this ability)

Notice how each example given has issues? It's a slippery slope to list more quality of life features as the "best" way to play a game as the artists intent gets left behind. This wiki is coining this term [[Quality Of Life|QoL-creep]].
