Does anyone else think the monster

"Majority" likes Twilight too. Is the hint is clear enough or are we going to continue stating our subjective opinions as an objective fact and keep projecting?

Could be a placeholder.

That's what I though as well. And yes it does look like a grunt.

There's no point in adding spoiler tags, the game is not out yet and those articles, videos are available to everyone. If someone doesn't want absolutely anything known before hand why would he/she check this topic?

So, I'm getting the whole "mysteriously you're the only survivor in an abandoned power plant making contact years after it went offline, and we find out later that YOU'RE the monster" vibe here.

I hope I'm wrong. I wasn't wrong about AMFP, I really hope this game surprises me.

Boy, the games I like have a touch of realism. And I'm not just speaking about racing games! A good game should be almost believable to be worth playing. I'm not meaning games like Super Mario or other mini-games here that are for fun.

Sometimes you have to mix unrealistic things with suspension of disbelief to get the most enjoyment out of something. Sometimes being realistic without mixing it up can be incredibly boring.

Of course. When I mean a realistic RPG, I do not mean a medieval-simulator. I mean a fantasy game but with a credible concept of design.

I just wondered, because Thomas said everything in SOMA should make sense and then I see this! I'm not disappointed when all this things happening, but I just can't believe his words and I would more love it to avoid things that are "magic".

It's another year until the release, they're not going to start explaining and spoiling every little bit at this point ...

I added them because maybe someone wanted to see updates on the game (interviews, videos) and didn't want possible monster spoilers. No harm in adding spoiler tags anyway so might as well.

The majority of people actually hate Twilight. And from my experience, the majority was disappointed by amfp. Every single one of my friends who played TDD was disappointed, almost every comment I read on youtube or interview pages about amfp or soma reference their disappointment with amfp, or just look at some reviews/metacritic. They all rate it lower than TDD. There's a few people that quite liked amfp but it's clear to me that they are minority.
