Man I LOVE the message at the end of all your videos. You keep the youtube landscape fresh and passionate, and your words help people to remember why they started/continue their journey on youtube. Please keep it up!
i played during 1.3, and the framerate was mostly fine until the end. in the final section i realized my best bet was running past everything and my fps tanked HARD into the single digits. the only way i was able to finish the game was run past enemies and suffer low fps, then in the final room save and reload to get everything off my ass, then barricade the doorway with some barrels to buy me enough time to do the final sequence.
While the game looks awesome, as a college student the cooking segments are so much fun and inspiring to watch. I’ve been trying to eat healthier to balance out how long I sit at the computer doing assignments and I might want to try the chicken veggie pasta next time to mix it up from the mountains of rice I eat (as an Asian, I’m like 50% rice lol)
The frugality of it is so good too. Now that I finally have my own kitchen it’s so much nicer to do things like buy a block of cheese and slice/grate it myself. His advice is what gave me the inspiration to do that.
I love those segments too. I'm already part of the work force, but meal prepping has become even more important now that I spend 42 hours a week on the job. There's one recipe I unlocked recently, so easy and nutritive, it goes like this: slice zuchinni, carrots, onions and potatoes in circles, put them on a tray with chicken, add olive oil and your favorite spices (i use garlic powder, oregano and paprika, bu you do you). It all goes in the oven until the chicken is ready and voilá, you got a nice lunch
I know they were a meme for a while but air fryers are genuinely super good for cooking, most things you can do in an oven you can do in them, if you find ovens a bit too challenging to use for whatever reason then you should get one.
1:32 I know this is a nitpick, but we have the Northern Sea Route for that. Especially for a submarine that does not require an icebreaker to clear the path.
Aw, damn, it's unfortunate to hear that this has so many technical issues. I love the old-school setups of SS1 and Ultima Underworld, so stylistically this looks rad. Here's hoping the dev is able to iron things out eventually!
Lasagna is my go to meal prep. Also the moment you said "Health items recover a fixed amount" my first thought was "No point in increasing my HP" so yeah, strength would be a dump stat
I grew up playing a lot of old obscure im-sims and slowly as I got older stopped playing them just due to friend groups and what was available to me. Now at 27 I love watching all your videos because I get to see all these great games that I immediately wishlist or purchase when I get the funds. Thank you for keeping this underrated genre alive in my heart ❤
Looks cool, but I recently finished System Shock and I don't think I could stand another OS-type game. Also, I don't think boomer shooters place endgame enemies on previous levels since most of them are linear and you can't even go back to said levels (apart from level selection options when provided). I'd say it's more of a dickish RPG thing to do.
Yeah that segment kind of irked me, not a huge deal by any means, but still, I have no idea what boomer shooters they're talking about and I play a lot of them. Hrot, Ultrakill, Turbo Overkill, Dusk, Wrath, etc, those are all games I'd consider prototypical boomer shooters and none of them have anything even close to what they're describing.
Man, all I want is an immersive sim in a water-heavy setting with a focus on realistic water physics. I wanna strategically flood places and drown my enemies in games
Oh it pulls the old Eternal Darkness tricks for the modern age? I am 100% in, I loved it when that game messed with you by flashing up the tv mute icon and stopping all sound. So glad someone is trying to modernize it!
oh hell yeah, i've been hoping you'd cover this one. Sonar shock is a really fun horror themed imsim that's held back by the fact that its a solo dev project, i love the game but i found it obtuse, i genuinely think a manual would solve most of the issues i have with this game.
AAAAAA im designing a ttrpg with survival horror elements and hearing that this game uses sanity as your 'mana pool' for spellcasting too is so coooool!!!!
Frozen pasta question: Love the meal prep idea! I can't handle mushy pasta, which normally happens when I cook pasta al dente, freeze it and later reheat it. Maybe that's just the cheap-ass pasta that I'm buying, or has anyone else experienced this?
Little bit of a letdown as I kept watching the video, but I think I'll grab it anyway. Not like we're drowning in games of this style, and supporting developers that take the risk to make such a difficult niche style is a good thing. You make something I like, you get rewarded with my time and money. Sad that it has balance and performance problems but, like Fortune's Run, I'll probably enjoy the game regardless. Great video as per usual, another game that would have otherwise flown below my radar.
just commenting to say i encountered the exact same issues on the day one release version , the framerate lag was so bad at the end that i had to quit and relaunch the game 5 times and wasted 5 disks, i couldnt save anywhere without disks in the release version, that was patched later. Eventually i run out of ammo and disks and i couldnt get past the awful framerate.
Went with light/heavy weapons + psy and was able to go through the game fine, besides the FPS issues, obviously. I hope the dev gets around to fixing the mem leak.
What a darn shame about the technical issue, I have played SonarShock through completion (minus the divergent ending, I've only played one of the two ending maps) and was very curious on your thoughts on the game itself, especially the (imo much more interesting) maps and story that's the later half of the game which I personally thought was also much more interesting then the beginning half of the game. So again, darn it. I don't want to spoil anything but things get kinda wild.
I think soft-locking yourself out of progression with a bad build is an important Core Feature of the millennium-era immersive sims that this game is so lovingly replicating. It wasn't an unknown problem even in wildly popular games like Diablo 2. Let him cook! 😂
I'm not sure how I feel about the clash between the pixel art and the stop motion monsters made of clay. They don't feel very consistent and I'd prefer it to be one or the other, but it could be interesting if the enemies were all stop motion and the humans weren't. I think that's what they were going for, but I feel like the human enemies look a bit too cutesy if that's the case. I know that it would be a massive amount of work to re-do the assets, but I would love it if the assets were re-done with articulated action figures for the humans, like they do in Robot Chicken. It would be a much more consistent and striking art style and I feel like it would be better integrated with the environment and a lot more atmospheric in general. Seeing all these characters who feel like they've come from a completely different game next to each other is a bit jarring. Obviously, the technical issues should be prioritised, but if the game were to be successful, or a sequel were to be made, I'd love to see those assets re-done.
in germany meal prep isnt even that affordable :' I tried meal prep and actually ended up paying more and eating unhealthier, than living from mainly Döner
Yikes! I can understand that in a small way. I have to grow my own fruit and veggies here in order to be able to afford to eat healthy. THEN only does eating healthy work out cheaper than takeaways.
I think the problem with the end game enemy spawning in the early game area is a matter of bad code logic, probably the game doesn't preset enemy locations and has flags that just determine which enemies should spawn, not that the dev was intentionally making the game more boomer shooter esque. I bring this up because I think as games continue maturing we shouldn't confine things to genre, why is it a problem to experiment with combining some of the elements of boomer shooters and immersive sims? Maybe the results wont always be good but saying something is a bad immersive sim because it isn't following a pre defined script to a tee seems like poor critique, unless the critique is to prescribe it as an immersive sim off the bat
You mentioned a sanity mechanic and I thought of a game that also had it. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. I do not know if you know about this. I hope your saucy cat ate the meat stick.
Nah he wasn't feelin' it. his treats are usually nibbling on washed pieces of broccoli or the tops of strawberries, both of which are things I've been assured are fine for him.
7:26 very cool design choice, that's like, menu-based Death Stranding business. 9:00 that's crazy creative. Fake Steam DMs in low sanity. 20:05 your videos can do with less speaking as if the audience is reading text you wrote. We hear you. This "TLDR" and similar other circuitousness is occupying time that could be better used by the rest of the video. The stream-of-consciousness style is appealing but there's a sweet middle-ground to be found. 26:00 "you're worth it" reminds me of the McElroy Family's podcast business, the dad says that.
Maybe try creating a melee build with the ability to eat dead enemies. Cannibalism is really good on almost all builds as long as you dont unlock the sanity gauge. Also you can avoid sanity effects if you never grab psi ability ever. Apparently the dev confirmed this is intended. I dunno if this persists on 1.2 but crates respawn and can still drop loot. New enemies respawning on floor 1 seems to happen when you complete a specific floor (floor 2 iirc)

"Sonar Shock: What if System Shock was Underwater?"
You just made some BioShock fans really mad here xD
bioshock is a good game but it has virtually nothing to do with system shock gameplay-wise
@riimumaisema
Umm, actually, the first spell you learn is shock
As a huge fan of Bioshock, no not really.
let's be real, bioshock is a wannabe -shock genere game.
Bioshock is more Dishonored/Dark Messiah-esque than being anything like Systemshock.
the most terrifying spook of all: Technical jank preventing the second half of the game from being played.

Came for the Sonar Shock, subbed for the ad fakeout and outro monologue.
I've been waiting for you to cover this one. Such a great game.
Looks cool, but I recently finished System Shock and I don't think I could stand another OS-type game.

I've been subed for years, but man, I still get amped seeing a new vid. awesome lookin chicken too! freekin W
Honestly the no GoPro on the cooking segment helped me watch it, I got really motion sick with that angle before
I like how all the guns are slightly different from their IRL counterparts but then they're like "and here's a random Astra 600"

Jeez- the character creation segment of the game reminds me so much of SYS.SHock 2's character creation.
Half the year is Halloween at this point. My aunt approves.
There is still room for more.

Swag, glad to see you covering this game - I remember seeing it and being like "How has non of the imsim / retro shooter crowd given it exposure yet".

You should check out Endoparasitic as the sequel came out recently! I really loved the first and can't wait to see the 2nd!
Lmao we did that one last year and Endoparasitic 2 is probably gonna be the Halloween special this year.
Halloween in July followed by Indieween followed by Winterween and then Spooky Spring. I for one welcome our Halloween overlords.
Only stopped playing this game because it was negatively affecting my grades. When I get time I'll finish it
Went with light/heavy weapons + psy and was able to go through the game fine, besides the FPS issues, obviously. I hope the dev gets around to fixing the mem leak.
Not sure why they decided to force a two gun limit rather than just having an inventory system for you to arrange based on what you want.
I got single frames in the first level when there were tons of enemies on screen, refunded it.. seems I dodged a bullet.
