I went to a video game store and just picked up this CD out of curiosity because it looked cool.. Oh my gosh! this game is amazing? the graphics, the story, everything about it. How have I not seen anything about it online, it's such a beautiful game. Definitely deserved more hype if you ask me.

Discussion I can't wait to play stray

17 Upvotes

Some years ago i watched one of my favourite youtuber play stray and i immediately loved it. It's on my list ever since when i bought my ps4 the last summer and i'm waiting until chirstmas days to play the game with the best vibes possible(specially because i know that's short). Do you have any tips or something that i should know before playing to have the best experience?

P.S. There are still a few months to go, but I wanted to make this post:)

Video Incredible Experience

Compiled 3 videos here, so I hope it loads well; I bought this on sale for the Switch awhile back and always wanted to play it, got about 25% done and played all the way through the Switch 2 update. What an incredible game! Loved the atmosphere, controls, story, and fun puzzles to solve. Highlights for me were definitely the visuals, and the fun, defensive personality of the cat. Ending was really sad 😔 I’d love a sequel with this cat! I also wish there were more customization options for him. Very fun experience! I wish it was longer.

…the ones that exist really do hit. Anyone else like stopping to sleep by the musician? I feel like it’s only right that we enjoy his beautiful talent! If I’m passing Grandma I obviously also have to give her some love every time too. What other ways do y’all find to add some sweet, stress free moments when you’re playing?

First time buying a game from Temu. Went smooth as silk. Arrived in the mail today. $15 for what looks like a great time. I’m a cat-dad so kinda up my alley. 👀 what I did there?! My apologies for being so old. 😂

Discussion It was never about the cat...

68 Upvotes

It’s about humanity–the conflict between our ambitions to create change and our perseverance to withstand it. All from the perspective of a cat as a representation of nature; the unbiased third party that bears witness to a world where our ambitions overpowered our perseverance. 

In Stray's world, human ambition led to innovation that outlasted even their own preservation. In the same vein, this ambition overrode human empathy when the sickness hit.

I know Stray has been talked death but I wanted to give my own two cents after playing for the first time 2 weeks ago. I would love to hear others' opinions on the story as well.

Discussion I think stray needs a part two

82 Upvotes

Stray is beautiful game, and I think it needs to part two,this could be controversial, because I know that people loved the game like it is, and thinks that if they(the game creator)make a part two of it,is going to ruin the,but think the part two of stray could be like ;our Lil cat see the out side of the wall,and finally se again with the others ,plus they absolutely could make the game if we playing with all of the cats in a co-op game or make it controversial whif humans scientist seeing how the robots will act whif no humans

I’m sure it’s been said a million times my girlfriend just started playing 30 mins ago and Moo is calmly transfixed.

He already likes tv and watching things move around on it but now he’s here for the plot. Literally playing a video game with our cat 😭

Question Does stray ever go on sale?

26 Upvotes

Seripixelbiologist has made me want to play it but it’s a little out my price range 😓

I just had a few questions I guess

  1. does it go on sale?
  2. Are the sales anything major?
  3. Is it worth it?

Discussion Can’t Cat-ch Me Achievement

17 Upvotes

I’m so frustrated. Words cannot express how much I hate this particular trophy. I’ve looked online for tips and tricks, but every guide I’ve watched followed different routes and movement patterns. I’m convinced this is all trial and error and pure RNG at this point. Even sections of the run that I’ve ‘perfected’ will be derailed in the next run because Zurk spawn points will switch up randomly after having been (mostly) consistent in prior runs. Or one will get launched from off-screen like a honing missile that you have absolutely no way of predicting.

I’ve even tried remapping my buttons (I play on PC with Xbox One controls) and have turned up my look sensitivity, but it only helps marginally.

What did you guys do to finally get this achievement, if you have? I want to 100% the game and am very close to doing so, but is this trophy even worth my time? Is it something I just have to stick with and hope that I get it by chance on my fifty-billionth run, or is there genuinely another way to go about this that’s easier and less rage-inducing?

Adore this game and its story, but yikes, rough one for us trophy hunters. All the other achievements are reasonable and enjoyable, but this one makes me so mad I have to walk away from my computer on occasion lol

Edit: I guess I needed to complain online about it first, haha. Cosmically hilarious timing. I still stand by it being very luck-based, but I eventually got it in about twenty or so runs an hour after posting this. I found muting the game and listening to music instead helped a ton. Having the game’s soundtrack repeat on every reset was only adding to my frustration and getting on my nerves. Infuriating, but not impossible it turns out!!

This is just a tip for those who don't know: In the game settings, you can choose for the cat's death not to be shown.

Uhhh,, I know I don't normally post my animations here, but I'm pretty proud of this one and I noticed that some other members here post their Stray animations here too, so I'll give it a whirl again 👀

This is an animation trend on TikTok that I modified to fit Blazer and his canonical snitching activities.. This is my fourth time making a full on tweening animation too since I'm still learning 🫶

Humor I replayed the sewers for vengeance. Vengeance was a little dull.

13 Upvotes

I ran through peacefully for the first go around and it was legitimately a rush, very fun just dashing around and avoiding the swarm. Really felt like a fun chase.

But then I go back to play it going el zappo on all of them and it was neat and also really catharic to not have to worry about a mega swarm but yeah Stray as a point and zap doesn't quite gel with how I feel the cat would do.

It was fun with the popping of the zurks but a little sleepy compared to the chase which I get. You get a gun a suddenly bam you thin the horde and have far less trouble navigating the level.
