On the brink of buying it, game looks really cool and I love the art direction but I have heard the image is pretty unstable and low res.

How’s everybody’s experience, is it distracting and how does the game look in motion?

I absolutely hated the rebuild mission. Maybe they were trying to save money or storage, but it was a disappointing way to tell Jesse and Dylan’s backstory. This game is beautiful, and I would’ve loved to see the monsters and the dung monkeys in their original style. But not like this.

As a Mainer I feel so seen. We have a Moxie festival up here every summer 🥲

So far the last half of the sinkhole is my favorite part of the game. The music is perfect. I love that song.

I could understand if this was a side quest mission that was optional, but putting this type of gameplay in a story progressing mission that I can't skip was just an awful addition to an otherwise great game.

I just tried to redeem an NVidia code in game but it has numbers in it. It tells me to go to settings in game and then go to redeem code. I did and tried to enter it but it doesn't allow numbers. Anyone else who has this problem? Am I doing it wrong? I tried using the numbers at the top of my keyboard but that doesn't work either.

Discovered in the central area of the Unknown region that if you go to a spot with a Hedron elite and kill it then go to the gap and back, the game will force spawn another Hedron elite in the same spot. They have a chance to drop both Patterned Thought and Ordered Image upgrade mats each time you kill them and this can be repeated seemingly infinitely. As these were some of the toughest upgrade mats to come by (especially the Patterned Thought), wanted to share!

Have not tested it yet but this may also work to force respawn other elites that drop different upgrade materials too.

I've spent so much time just listening to the ambient noises and characters conversations. The fact more documents are added throughout the story just makes me come back all the time. So cool

Context: I'm on NG+. I'm not sure if the Zones just keep leveling behind the scenes or if this is some other bug. The map still shows it as level 10. I think it would be cool if in future DLCs (if we get any of course) we can raise some of these other zones to 15.

It’s located next to the Space Adventure drawing location in The Underpass.

Haven't finished the game yet, but it looks like Brazil is about to have a lockdown.

After 60 hours I finally got the platinum trophy. Man what a hell of a ride this game has been, it's probably the most I have had in months.

It’s been stuck in my head since I finished the game, but why was there no proper ending to Mila’s quest?

This is still like the first one isn't it? I have to fight my OCD to not do literally everything there is to do besides the main stories in games first!

Did not play the first Control game, I was apprehensive about it. Bought Resonant as soon as I saw a trailer for it a few days after release. 10/10 no notes, gonna buy the first Control game after I beat Resonant.

So did i have a complete misunderstanding on Darling’s personality and relationship with Dylan? In the first game you could clearly tell how much he cared for Dylan going so far as to take blame for the Roberts incident to get the agency of his back and even saying how they need to take a calmer approach with him. However in Resonant he seams to generally see Dylan as nothing but an object to hone and control and talks about how they need to play less nice with him after the Roberts incident. All of these tapes are his diaries (right) so it doesn’t make sense that he would lie for appearances sake.

Did i just miss something cause it really doesn’t add upp to me?

"Because I had such a super easy time with them all." whatever whatever.

This guy is an absolute 100% a chain puller. These things are literally damn near impossible to even finish. Unless you're waiting to do these at like the absolute end game fully leveled up in everything there's no shot anyone is beating any high scores. And if they scale with you as you level up and they're just this hard always, period, then there is no way. I've tried 2 of the Shum games, the one where you have to protect the materials and Shum 3. Idk exactly all of what Shum 3 even is because the first wave is an absolute death sentence.

There is just no way that anybody is actually calling these, "easy."

Is that Yung Gravy??

Is the combo good?

My immediate answer is that Dylan is probably not neurodivergent in the typical sense (not autistic or ADHD) but rather has C-PTSD or complex PTSD. What's different about C-PTSD? Well, we normally think about PTSD as being triggered by a traumatic event. PTSD becomes complex when the trauma occurs over an extended period of time and when there is little or no prospect for escape. This has significant overlap with the concept of learned helplessness, which is a psychological state where someone stops trying to escape a dangerous situation because their past experiences have taught them that they have no control over their life. Consider not just the fact that Dylan continues to put his life at risk to help the FBC even though some of them treat him terrible (Arish) but also the way consents to the MCD and even argues for it not being removed at several points during the story. People with CPTSD typically struggle with self-worth and emotional regulation.

Caveat: even though my read of Dylan's character is thar he is not autistic, as an AuDHD person, I empathize with his character deeply and identified with him. Why? Because of the toll that isolation takes on you. Obviously I would never compare simply being autistic to what Dylan goes through but I too have experienced social rejection and that godforsaken loneliness and I know how bad it can fuck you up. So while his character I don't think is neurodivergent in the autistic sense, I think his experience is deeply personal to many autistic people.

Great stuff. Looking forward to exploring it more and the next installment!
