Post: RE: Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

Bringing this back to the fore since I just found Zero Punctuations (Yahtzee's) Review: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/v...OMA-Review And he touches upon (in his trademark witty way) that it ...

    Thread: Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters
Post: RE: Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

I think in any situation in any game. The more you are around a monster, the less scary it becomes. I've always said that Horror works best when the quantities are unknown, and you as the player are f...

Wow! This is great. I've been waiting for tutorial vids to begin flowing before jumping in. Sure, I could jump in myself and start playing around and learning on my own, but it's nice when you've got...

I doubt anyone would vote for Lambda. It wasn't even much of an area really. You were in and out before you knew it anyway. Plus the eventual cat and mouse with the Jiangshi on the CURIE would definit...

The thing I worry about when you "Open" up the world, is that it becomes that you begin to spend a good amount of time moving back and forth and back and forth again going from one "objective marker" ...

That's a good idea. Being able to insert clue or hint-like images and such within journals would be nice. Though of course in SOMA you can pretty much scatter images all over the place to pick up and ...

I always thought "Memento's" was a weird descriptor for the documents and "Hints" stored there.

I'm very torn on this. I know it is easy to point and laugh at the stupidity of many of the Pathos-II workers for either buying into the ARK so blindly or for believing in Mark Sarang's bull. But one...

Post: RE: Official Poll Regarding SOMA's Monsters

Hmm, it may be a small sample size. But at least nobody voted for the "Not Scary and Very Easy" option. Clearly people like the Monster Designs and there's just a disagreement on how well they were u...

Level Design and Gameplay are of course inexorably linked together no matter what. The trick is to try and not make things too obvious to the player. I think we can all recognize the games which we p...
