You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

Didn't read the OP when he started posting "plot" but given the comments section I am going to call this nonsense and trolling.

E. I have to wonder where these ideas come from, what would be the motivation to stream the game on an unknown channel without anyone knowing with a threat of a lawsuit pending? It doesn't make sense if they aren't even doing it for the views
Attention. Some guy's streaming it from the beginning, I guess the same guy as before. The CA is pretty terrible, and the options are pretty barebones as reported

what is SOMA


Soma is a type of muscle relaxer that goes by the generic name of Carisoprodol. It is kind of an old school drug due to the complications that can occur with it and there being a variety of more flexible muscle relaxers out there. Hope this helps.

It's also a fictional drug in Brave New World. All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol with none of the defects. A gram is better than a drat!

And this drug is itself based on an (unidentified) substance known as Soma which was used in Ancient Greek mystery cults. There's so much to learn!

Soma, or "Haoma" in Avestan, was also the sacred stimulant drug that the gods of the Hindu Rigveda and Zoroastrian Yasnas would drink when at war.

But seriously, does anyone know when Soma is coming out on PS4? I thought it was a PS4 exclusive, but the only listing I've seen for it actually coming out is on Steam.

Hey man if you want to go back to the old ways of hitting "download" at 12:01 and waiting til morning when you hope that all other 10,000 people downloading didn't kill the DL speed then you are still able to do that

What about the ending bothered you

I didnt' play the game, I watched harshlycritical play through it tho and it looked like a very pretty, very confusing game that felt too confusing for its own good. I assume they were trying to be confusing on purpose though, given the similarities to alice in wonderland

It doesn't matter what day games come out on, preloading a couple days prior is still a good feature to avoid the day 1 rush.

the RPS review of Soma kind of seemed like the game was bad.

quote:

There’s barely a quiet moment that SOMA doesn’t try to fill with reflections on what is happening and when the lead character actually prompts conversations by saying things like, “Doesn’t this whole situation make you think about what it really means to be human?” it’s hard not to feel that those reflections are forced. He’s so desperate to milk the weird horror of his situation for some kind of philosophical insight that it seems like he’s preparing to write a dissertation and desperately wringing every encounter for material rather than trying to survive.

that sounds stupid as poo poo.

Walk me through why Dark Descent is better than Machine for Pigs. Is it the superficial Lovecraft, the half-assed sanity mechanics, or the resource management?
