RE: SOMA - 10 days after launch - PiratesFr33k - 10-17-2015
I've been keeping a "The 25 Best Stories in Gaming" list for many years now.
It's a list spanning games from the golden era of DOS games until today.
I don't update the list that often because I put a LOT of thought into it. The 1998 adventure game Sanitarium has been my number one for many years now.
About 24 hours ago, I updated my list.
SOMA is my new number one.
From out of nowhere it's made it straight to number one!
I never thought this would ever happen with any game.
Thank you so much for this amazing experience, Frictional Games!!
Now I feel the strong urge to spend a lot of money on SOMA merchandise, so... where is it??
PS: Oh, and just in case you are interested in that list:

Good list you got there.

I only have two things to say:
1. Keep putting work out on PS4 (and consoles in general), even if you just port Amnesia and its sequels.
2. I don't care if you take your time, but please make sequels. I've waited a long time for a game to go where Soma went thematically, and I really hope to see more.
c. The game is amazing.

According to the world, Planescape: Torment has the best story. (“What can change the nature of a man?”)
With Soma there is a serious competition.

Amnesia Pigs is my favorite story. Then SOMA. And then every other FG game.

Strange list with the classic Thief games which have very little in the way of story, and an odd lack of Penumbra. I have:

Anyway, I really hope SOMA did well with regards to sales. I remember FG had to sell quite a lot to break even. I randomly noticed today that it has less reviews on Steam than the newly released Deus Ex: Mankind Divided; of course this isn't surprising and there are many reasons to this (people are quick to downvote DXMD for its buggyness) but I worry nonetheless. I need more games from FG in my life!

I also believe there are articles about Frictional breaking even on SOMA.

Thanks for the reply, that site is interesting. So according to that, almost 250k owners on Steam which I guess means around 250k copies sold on Steam? And Frictional Games said they need almost 300k sales to recoup all costs. Over 3 million for Amnesia, impressive.

Congratulations for a wonderful trailer! SOMA is my favorite game
I am glad to see yet another one with additional features and amazing characters. I am excitedly waiting for its release!
