My thoughts about the end:

Spoiler below!

I feel kinda mixed feelings about the end. On the one hand, it nails down transhumanist dilemma of consciousness continuity in case of brain upload very vividly and very scary, and in that regard ending is awesome. But on the other hand... I remember Devs promised that how I will play the game, and my choices, will affect the events and the story, but... I specially went back and replayed few last chapters making different choices, annnd...
It changed nothing.
At all.
Not even the after credits scene.
The ending events were still EXACTLY the same, except that I kept my left arm. That left me disappointed. None of the choices you made during the gameply hadn't affected nothing.

In the train part at the beginning of the game, only for me it reminded the start of half life 2?

Anyone else has this weird insane stuttering at the beginning of each level? It seems like the game is loading some stuff in the background (pretty heavy I/O activity in resource monitor) and FPS counter starts to jump in +/-1 range inducing very annoying performance stutter. I'm curious if it just my HDD is close to death and choking on hundreds of SOma's request for small files or anyone else have this issue too?

I also get this and I have it installed on my SSD.

What are you supposed to do when you reach Delta when your trying to reach Telta? I walked around the area and mess that the antenna but I dunno what to do?

Did anyone encounter that tentacle JERK with no FRIENDS who is FUCKING weird?
I opened a huge door at tau and he was litarally right behind it... I stood in light and he recognizes me...
We watched at each other a minute long and just stood there... Then from outer space he decided to move in demonic speed onto me O.O That freaked me out like hell!
