You don't belong here Sup Forumsedditor

I saw the twist coming before I even read the full synopsis. One day you'll develop standards and stop playing games

are you implying black mirror has twists

No. I was talking your shitty game you silly little boy

Did soma even have twists?

does black mirror?

No. They spelled everything out for you regarding the consciousness transfer technology. Anyone with half a brain can guess what is eventually going to happen when you do it enough times.

This. But the atmosphere and the mood of the game made me think hard about it afterwards and makes it one of my favourite games.

Black mirror isn't a hard standard to live up to. It's shit

>when you do it enough times.
... it happened every time. There was never a "coin toss," that was just bullshit whatsherface told dumbfuck. It was always read, reproduce, destroy original.

SOMA didn't have a twist you dumb cunt

>implying

Imagine a world where copy and pasting programs into different file folders is impossible...

why do people play modern video games?

giv movies with this feel

>it happened every time

Yes, but not from your perspective, obviously. Until the end.

It was intensely frustrating yet hilarious that the protag couldn't / wouldn't wrap his head around the coin toss thing.
It's like the writers thought it would be a difficult concept but everyone I know picked up on it real quick so it feels like you're playing a retard
>course he was a Canadian ...

One of the greatest and most haunting games of all time. It officially placed as my third favorite. First two being Mirror's Edge, and P.T. the actual horror shit in game was lackluster, but the story, music, and emotion in the game made up for it. The only game I've ever looked up youtubers playing just to see their reactions at the end.

Also, such a good song.

The player's perspective jumps, the perspective of dumbfuck, the player character, doesn't.

You don't think you'd be confused about technology hundreds of years in the future? No one can ever truly comprehend something like having your consciousness copied.

Pretty much this. If you want a movie with the same "feeling", watch Kairo aka Pulse. The Japanese film

The horror of the game was much more about the situation in general. There's a part where you hear the last broadcast of the people who went up to the surface, and just the thought that everyone on earth is dead, and the only thing left of humanity is the facility really got to me.

I'm not sure how someone could be totally unfamiliar with the concept.

Of course whatsherface couldn't just out and say, "you're a copy, the original you died a hundred years ago," as the entire preservation project kinda hinged on it not just being a bunch of copies in a semi-static digital space for a couple centuries.

The protagonist should have watched back mirror prior to his introduction.

Yeah it messed me up good. I like to think the main character went up to the surface anyways and wandered the earth, searching for survivors that would never come

Get

the

fuck

out.

this game was oddly comfy and engaging for how bleak and eerie the setting is
wish there were more like it

Yeah, that what I meant by story. It really ate at me, long after I had finished. The horror parts of just hiding from the monsters was boring and easy. It didn't take away from the game though.

Another horror game with a similar feel in atmosphere, one I very much liked and would recommend is White Day: A Labyrinthin Named School. It has a very compelling story too that stuck with me after finishing. It's short like SOMA, which I enjoy, and has like twenty different endings as a plus.

Fuck off retard

>do I fit in yet mom?

This too, that open part of the ocean (was like being a small underwater island) I spent like two hours exploring even tho it took ten minutes to already look at everything. The music and setting just made it so calm in parts, and eerie in others.

Go play with your toys.

nothing on the ocean floor was capable of making it to the surface, except maybe the wau

its funny to try to say this on a board totally dominated by YA and children's movies.

I tried to convince my friend to play this game but he is sick of running and hiding faces. I told him it is the best situational horror but it never worked. Glad others appreciated it

This is making me want to play it again. Fug I loved this game. I though I agree the protagonist was short a few I points
I don't remember, but couldn't he just take the big elevator back up from the trench? He is a robot so he could brave the surface after that

>that moment where you comfort the last human on earth as she dies

Christ, I wasn't ready

He was running off a finite battery and the only place he could recharge it was on the ocean floor.

The elevator only took him so far up I'm pretty sure, but I too think like to think he made it up to the surface another way. He had tons of other options. I also like to think maybe he just sat there, at the bottom. Never moving until he ceased to exist. I mean all his motivation is dead. Either way the game was great.

I tried getting a friend to play it too, and he quit like halfway. Sucks lol, wish I could make him appreciate it.

all the humans were copied into the wau, so the only way you killed humanity is if you killed the wau

But go fuck the game for trying to force these debates. All the pieces to a lasting solution were in place, the game just gave no means of putting them together because lmao drama.

No fucking way I'm leaving the Wau on earth, are you fucking crazy?

It's literally the only remaining sustainable form of life on the planet.

In all of the earth, there must be a few bomb shelters or other deep water installations out there, or am I reaching? It has been a long time since I played but I like to think there is still a shred of hope

Yeah but it's gross and weird

The entire surface of the earth is completely scorched, no way to survive even if you did make it to shelter

Bump

yeah, it was moreso denial and confusion of the main character than the game trying to hide it

Yea, the guy who starts the transfer will never survive it, but the resultant being will feel like he was always alive. (just hope youre the one that has just been created)

if you are gonna put it that way, then you lost him at about the 20 minute mark when you wake up underwater.

Jesus has no one ever seen the prestige?
Literally all she would have had to do was tell dumshit ...It's like that movie from your time period ..the prestige with the stupid teleportation / copy "twist" thing.

atmosphere is completely different. The prestige is good but spending 7 hours in this game made the ending feel incredibly lonely and terrifying.

someone post a pirate link

lmgtfy.com/?q=SOMA torrent

not the place for it. I think you know where to go for things that you are requesting.

The atmosphere is fine ..and it would make a good short movie / outer limits style show.
Hell even a Dr Who
but as a game the mechanics were tedious
it was just a spoopy walking simulator that was trying to be deep by digging up the corpse of an old science fiction idea about re/copied sentience.

This movie is pretty much what happened on the surface.

oh boy that was some KINO HUMA (((abedin)
yeah i do but im asking for the greater good

the objective of the game was fucking stupid, sending a digital simulation to space so some sims can play pretend they're alive for a few centuries?
what a fucking stupid concept

>make a game with the absolute bare minimum amount of actual gameplay
>make it shit tier gameplay at that
>give it a mediocre story and le "atmosphere"
>retards like the ones ITT praise it as a masterpiece

You're the reason videogames have been complete garbage for the last decade.

How's it stupid? It's saving the remainder of humanity.

The only thing that really matters is your consciousness, yourself.

It doesn't really matter what vessel it goes into.

Love it how people complain about simon having issues with understanding how the copy and paste works when in every soma thread there are brainlets that argue about the coinflip as if it was a real thing.

I’m a little bitch who can’t even make it through 1/3rd of Outlast, but I enjoyed Until Dawn. Is Soma right for me?

Sounds like you've got awful taste, so SOMA should be right up your alley.

>stop liking what i don't like

How many of you played Penumbra?

Nightmare mode - before Amnesia came out

Can you fuck a pig? No? GTFO.

Soma isn't scary at all, same with Amnesia, once you've seen the creature or whatever they include in those games once, you'll struggle to find it scary.

okay user, what are good horror games? inb4 none

>a 10 hour video game can tell a better story than a 1 hour TV show

W O W.

I did, remember finding it odd amnesia took off so much because I didn't remember Penumbra ever being that big of a deal. Loved Penumbra, although I had to use a walkthrough for that Morse Code puzzle.

soma was godawful. It's literally the most pretentious walking sim ever made.

>go into that first bunker
>dat atmosphere
>dat spooky soundtrack
>feeling of overwhelming dread
>suddenly a shittily rendered, badly animated dog lunges at me
>still almost shit my fucking pants
>swing the hammer around like i'm having a fucking siezure till it dies
I went in expecting to laugh at how badly the game had aged, but I wasn't expecting the levels of NOPE I still encountered in that game.

its self-contained and its practically a "the sims" on space, helping maw or wathever the fuck its called to become the new humanity would be a better objective

SOMA made me gasp a few times just from a quick scare, especially when one of the shambling monsters suddenly started going a SANIC speeds when it saw me.

The game can make you more stressed / tense than anything.

If a monster catches you you get reset in the area, except your vision is more fucked up and you move slower while your objective is to find items in areas with rooms everywhere. It can catch you like 2 times before it actually kills you.

Overall the presentation and voice acting is top notch, some VAs don't get paid enough.

>maw

Do you mean the WAU?

That shit is responsible for all the corrupted monsters, it made bio-mechanical abominations and there was no way to control it.

yeah but it was the only chance for something to keep living on earth

I think having real consciousnesses of people in a simulation is better than having a sea floor rampant with incoherent suffering monsters.

After the monsters 'caught' me the first time, I just figured they dissapeared, because I never saw them again after the first spook.
Only thing in the whole game that got to me was when you were getting your new suit, and you had to copy yourself to it.
You wake up in your new body, still hearing the old you talk, and I was like "Aahhhhhh fuuuucckkkk"
I kinda figured what was going on by then, but that really cemented it for me.

those people will want to "kill" themselves after a few "centuries", imagine knowing you're in a simulation with no future, at some point every hedonistic pleasure will bore you and you will just want to end it (and they probably cant even kill themselves there)
that's why neets and people with extremely easy lifes are usually depressed, a life without a "reason" is pointless and there isn't a more pointless life than being in a self-contained simulation in space

>I just figured they dissapeared, because I never saw them again after the first spook.

Really? You and the monster just get re-positioned and the same area. I don't remember it ever disappearing.

Fuck off cunt, Until Dawn is horror kino.

Only after I rewatch Thor 3

God damn it, Sup Forums

Why was Simon such a brainlet?
>those feels at the end of the game

There is no twist past the first hour when the game literally spells it out for you that you're a robot.

Probably.
Outlast (both games) is jumpscare riddled garbage. Until Dawn is more about the characters and the story.

SOMA is more like the latter, but not really a whole lot like either.

>pretentious
The most apt word there is to describe the game.

Part of why it's all so depressing or whatever is this knowledge. Catherine is a fucking neet headcase who doesn't fully understand (or care about) the consequences of her actions, has little empathy for others, and spends the game leading a moron around like a dog.
There's no way everyone just lives happily in the Ark until it gets smashed by a micrometeroid or has its drives wiped by a solar flare or whatever.
Humanity is essentially always fucked.
Like, there's a subplot about how even after the apocalypse, the Carthage espionage woman is still following the plan. Which gets everyone in Omicron killed.
Soma is a nice little fuck everything story.

This game has live action movie btw. Released in conjunction with the game, set on the base before Simon wakes up.

It's a bit all over the place in terms of acting but has some budget. It also has titties and a loli in it if you're on the fence about scrubbing through it.
