yeah this game is sick. it is crazy this is the first time this idea has been made into a game, it is such a good idea for a game. and it is fun as fuck.
i really like the story so far. i have only unlocked the first two animals. Pomeranian's story is so great, a day has gone by with no food, he is wearing a sweater and is hungry af. amazing.
survival is cool. is there an end goal to these? like an area boss or something that you can unlock? i haven't managed to uncover an entire map yet. it is cool how they made the world so dangerous in so many ways, it really feels apocalyptic.
is there a way to escape radiation? it was raining and the radiation level was going up so i stayed indoors. yet the level kept going up and eventually i started losing life and died. is there a way to avoid this?

Ha surprised to read back and see how much I didn't love it at the time, I've only got fond memories of it. And hazy enough memories that I can't answer any of those questions Adam, sorry.

it seems like herbivores last longer between meals, which makes you play in a different way. i like the strategizing you have to do to survive, the resource management and exploration go hand in hand with the gameplay. if you are full and come upon a few plants you will want to save food sources for later, unless you want to become a Boss, resulting in a stronger overall lineage.
its a choice you have to make. not many games do that. every play has these moment by moment choices thrown at you which could each effect your descendents. you see the butterfly effect play out in real time, over and over again. this is a game about material existence.
i feel like drinking the water is what leads to radiation poisoning and inevitable death. which makes complete sense, and is kind of like, holy shit video game, getting real for a minute here. damn.

"along with Pomeranian pride, an uncontrollable urge has awakened"
holy shit this game is dropping Devo references.

What platform are you playing this on? Did they re-release it for ps4?

I'm assuming PS3 - I don't think it's got a PS4 release, but it was free on PS+ for PS3 a couple of months back.
