Kaizy Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 So I just stared SOMA a couple hours ago. I'm really liking the atmosphere and feel of it so far, looks and handles really great. Story is interesting enough to keep me wanting more, and continue through the maps, and it's not relying on shitty jumpscares, which is in good Frictional tastes, so good on them. I wont delve too much into the story or what I've seen yet (not sure who's played it and/or who wants to).My only complaint currently is when I first started I noticed some of the load times were gradually becoming more lengthy, but I hadn't really cared too much to take note of it. Then I'm guessing it tried to load part of the map during a cutscene or something, and it led to part of the cutscene freezing and one of the sounds not loading, which was pretty noticeable in context of the scene. As I kept progressing, the "loading" became more sporadic, and at one point completely froze the game for a solid 1-2 minutes (I was worried it had crashed) until resuming play. Then afterwards, every 5 seconds or so, there would be lots of stuttering while I was progressing through the map and made it increasingly difficult to navigate through certain areas, until I reached a save point and exited the game. I don't know if it's a common problem or what, but the weird gradually-increasing "lag" was making it hard to play. I'm gonna have to look into that unless someone has a solution.Anyone else want this game/playing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 The name rings a bell, but I can't remember exactly what it was about. To Google! Oh it's this one. I remember getting excited for this. I'll probably get it one day, it looks cool and the setting is neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuujou Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I wanted this game. Granted, I was a bit disappointed with Amnesia because I never felt scared. It was just fun to play because I like exploring and being sneaky. :u n:But this looks super cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VLZerda Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 My best friend is currently playing it and uploading it to her youtube. She had some lagging issues, but I haven't heard her complain about it since the first night she played.She's finding the story really interesting, and she doesn't know I know what happens (because I'm a turkey and can't wait to see the plot actually happening) so her making all her hypothesi and constant questions is making me giggle, because she's on the right path but doesn't know it quite yet.

Kaizy Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Yeah, I've got my ideas to what's happening, so I'm pretty sure I'm on the right track, but I'm still unsure of a few things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissFleece Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm watching an LP of it (cryaotic, if you were curious.) and so far I really enjoy the story concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit I'm definitely watching that when I beat it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Aw fuck! haven't even booted it up yet, I only today found it it takes place underwater. Shiiiiiiiit... Edited September 28, 2015 by Luca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizy Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Yeah the underwater shots n stuff all look great, really nice atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luca Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 No I hate that. I had a hard time playing Bioshock because of it and that game didn't try too hard on the horror. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinare Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Have been wanting this game, but probably won't pay more than half price for it. Watched a dev lets play I think a week or so ago, looked ok, but didn't I didn't really feel the same feels I felt with TDD. Maybe that changes as the game goes on, though.I still have to work my way through the Penumbra series (first one is boring, gah) and force myself to give MFP a try... Should probably not be considering buying SOMA until I finish those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
