Actually this is a really good candidate. Such an underrated game too.

>>382441831
Of course I did, that's why I am so disappointed. Found out about the game from a local magazine, where the one that wrote about it was in full hype mode and went all philosophical. Gave it a try and went to vomit right after. It did not have potential at all, however I can see where they were going with it and what they wanted to depict. Maybe a sequel?

There's no reason for a sequel. Hence the ending

At least Simon 4 gets to creampie Catherine on the ARK for eternity.

Doesn't seem you understood anything

>>382441998
Earth is dead. Memories of the people are in space. There's not much material for a sequel unless another race finds them and puts their consciousness in to new bodies.

You might literally be too stupid for the fucking thing.

The memories of the chars got on the ARK and they are floating through space. The copies found each other there. Earth destroyed and floating through space. Yep no sequel possibility. Fuck off drones, did you get too triggered by criticism?

>>382442298
On the same road desu. But it seems you cannot criticize "muh masterpiece" around here.

Why did he think he was going to escape?

He had already seen a duplicate body strapped to a chair before.

>>382442642
S3 gets left on the station, while S4 got uploaded into the ARK. S3 went ape shit because even though C repeatedly told him that he's merely copied, he actually believed that he'd be transfered over. The ARK copies celebrate a get together.

>>382442539
The game is about the copy-pasting of consciousness being fundamentally different than a cut-paste, and the "twist" of this realization.

Is this that shit game where you're on a boat the entire time?

>>382442807
S3 (and every other Simon) felt a continuity since he was a real person. He just thought he would transfer to the Ark and leave his body behind, like he felt he was doing up until that point. Even though the girl told him that he was going to leave the original him behind, he didn't understand because he's pretty retarded.

>dude robot the whole time lmao
>deep
Them not realizing they were copying and not uploading themselves into the machine was pretty stupid and soma is garbage

Are you pretending to be retarded or what?

>>382442807
He's retarded, or he didn't want to accept what just happened.

When we see the transfer of bodies about half way through, we take the new body with us. This version of the MC thinks hes still the same one as in the old body, but that it transferred.

Catherine likely doesn't try convey concept to him as he'll likely be a big baby about it and not go to the ark.

>>382442178
Pity he's just a simulation and not a real, sentient and conscious mind...

Also whether you fags like it or not, the WAU was something humanity created and it's the last of humanity's legacy that can be left behind, if you destroyed it you're just ignorant to the greater picture of things, SOMA was about preserving humanity and what was left of it which includes what it had made

The post credits says otherwise. You see the "simulation" feel his own skin as if he is a actual human again. He feels real. Thats all that matters.

Well no ones said it yet so I'll bring up the elephant in the room.

If Simon going into the ark is a coinflip, how come the devs are too retarded to programme it being a 50/50 rather than "hurr durr you get left on the station every time" and the other Simon gets to go on the ark

>>382439824
Maybe if you're a wuss. Its got a dark ending but it's nothing we haven't at least mostly heard before.

>im on such a higher plane than you plebs

>>382443618
>>If Simon going into the ark is a coinflip,

the coin flip is a lie. Simon-4 will always be the Simon that got onto the ARK, and Simon-3 will always be the one that got left behind. Referring to it as a coin flip was just Catherine's way to keep Simon engaged because he wouldn't want to go through with it if he knew the truth

>>382439824
I remember the ending being rather dark for the coin-toss loser but no more so than "well, I'm an idiot who didn't think about the consequences and now I'll die very, very alone".

The rest of the game is more allegorical to a utilitarian life-style where humans can be put in machines as long as the machines are needed and turned off when they have no greater function anymore.
So you live a comfy life at the bottom of the sea waiting for lonely death and your retirement is cut early by a rouge AI and some lady with a science project. Guess now you die slowly from robot slime instead of hanging yourself.

Well, this thread went to shit.

Do you know in what consisted "teleport" experiments so far? It was done with a photon and what they did was make a replica of a photon to the other side, like calling a fax an image teleportation.

There's no coin flip.

the most depressing thing about this game is the existence of enemies in it.
Would be 100 times better being just a walking simulator.

*as an environmental puzzler

I completely agree.

>>382444832

Do you think the monsters were in complete euphoria like Simon was when one of them had put him in that comatose state where he saw his girlfriend?

Maybe they are happy in their mind? What about the people in those cabin room bunkbeds?

>>382439824

>>382441020
Why is this so expensive? I missed my one chance to ever buy it.

>>382444638
I think it helps with putting more shit in the situation that the Simons on Earth are stuck in. It adds to the stress and makes the ending more impactful that Simon 3 nearly just died and is scared to hell and his last hope is a lie that he may or may not get on virtual utopia although he's a fucking dumbass for thinking the coinflip was true anyway.

>>382442007
I wouldn't say its "good". Not expecting anything from it made the twist ending that much more shocking to me. Plus a second playthrough changes what some of the books throughout the game say to expand upon the ending which is neat

>>382446514
got banned in some countries and they didn't make that many copies so you've got a relatively high demand on a game with barely enough discs to go around

>>382445245
I think the monsters were security and were just trying to help the humans feel safe and happy in the simulation and not be scared in the real world. If you notice they ignore all the other humans laying around in their comas.
Wait. Did SOMA stand for simulation coma?

>>382446948
I was reading about that last night. It was a total bullshit controversy where some fucks in the EU said the goal of the game was to abuse a little girl. So fucking dumb.
