My first time going through Theta and getting past Akers was fucking terrifying. I never knew he could open doors so be me: Just unlocked the door to the chip via the monitor(fucking window wouldnt break),I go to the room with the chip, close the door behind me, and I'm vibing in there. Akers was outside of the window while I was making a ton of noise because I thought I was safe. Suddenly chase music starts and he bashes the fucking door down. The Most Terrifying Moment of My Life

I got to say though, I really love these enemies in terms of design and lore (heard they were terrible in terms of game mechanics though but I probably didn't notice). Their design is so fitting for a Futuristic-Aquatic Post Apocalyptic horror game. I just love how all of them have a deep and sad explanation of what happened to them and why they are here with you. They compliment each abandoned site your in and they give it a whole new creep factor. They way they make digital noises, screams, moans, cries. Heard some of the monsters had bits of dialogue but I think I was too scared to process any of it. Not only that but how they made the atmosphere though, when Hopper was describing world ending though the com while you were being stalked by the Flesher. I was just standing there staring at the wall thinking... this is a whole new level of tense.

The problem but also genius of this game is how the enemies like Yoshida and the proxies (Akers) never go away, and in fact are programmed to stay near where you are without them having found you. It sort of breaks the immersion because it's incredibly obvious they know where you are but don't, but it's also genius because it forces you into conflict, most prevalent with Yoshida. I remember him the most because the pros and cons of this approach were the most visible.

the proxy in general is completely bugged out, especially the one in the server room. I did alot of testing with him. if you put many objects in the doorframe of the room he spawns in, this will completely break his AI and he will be frozen. you can now do the server restart without any problem. his pathfinding is really bugged, once you spawn him simply pick up any object (smaller ones work better) and crouch and don't move. even though you are not moving, from just holding an object he will instantly agro on to you, putting objects in the doorway stops this. I've seen many streamers get killed by just holding objects and this is what made me go and see what was going on. he is completely bugged. I also had him aggroed on to me while I was upstairs, so I had him screaming and the chase music as I was in the bathrooms paper balls work the best to agro him for some reason, simply hold it and that's that. watch him pin point your exact location and come running, this is how I agroed him from upstairs, just holding paper

I don't understand the people complaining about bad gameplay. Sure, it wasn't flawless. There a few things that could have been explained or designed better. But aside from that, I thought it was great. Especially if you play with a good set of headphones and play in the dark. Very immersive, great atmosphere, sound design, decent puzzles, great tension/story. I think some people just set their standards too high. You'll never have much fun when you do that. Go into it expecting nothing! The only part I thought was somewhat boring is when you're following the lights to Tau. Just felt like a lot of the same thing, all at once. But the feeling of being vulnerable to the infected sea life was kinda spooky.

"Go into it expecting nothing" *PREACH, BROTHER* 🙏 In all seriousness though, it's okay NOT to like a video game. We all have our ideas on what a good game should be all about, and the perfect balance between gameplay, and story. What SOMA really focused on was the visceral and cerebral horror experience. Gameplay was intentionally simple. To me, it helped me immerse (no pun intended) in the game's reality. I somewhat agree with the Abyss section you mentioned. While it did have its desired effect on me-I felt helpless, abandoned, and terrified that I would get carried away by the strong ocean's currents-I felt like it was a bit too lengthy to me, and could've been executed in a different way. Still, loved the game.

Monster encounters are widely considered the weakest part of Soma, and I think it goes beyond the fact they didn't put as much effort into those as they did with the story. The problem is two-fold: One - the game does a piss job at conveying what a monster can do. Cath tells you to not look at the Flesher and reading logs can make you guess that Ackerman is blind, but that's it. You have no way to get what the triggers are for each new monster unless you try them all. Is it blind? Deaf? Movement sensitive? Line of sight sensitive? Really good at picking noise? Attracted by light? Attracted by running? I had the most infuriating experience against the Leviathan most likely because I had my lamp on the whole time in an area that's pretty well lit anyway. I also spent a LOT of time with my thumbs up my butt because I didn't get that Proxies were blind. There should be little scenes of introduction scripted to scare you while hinting at the monsters' abilities. It doesn't have to be obvious, even bits of info in logs and journals can do the trick. Two: the game doesn't punish you for not understanding them. You can brute-force through most encounters. Even if you mess up, it takes you a couple of hits to die and you can pass out several times before getting a game over - which will have you restart at the start of the last room anyway. It takes away a lot of the tension from those encounters. Back in Amnesia if a monster was close enough to land a hit once then you were usually f*cked. Going back to my two examples - in the case of the Proxies, they posed zero threat despite me not getting how they worked. if push came to shove, I could just outrun them and break line of sight - or as it actually was, go beyond their hearing radius. So it just made for messy, frustrating encounters. The Leviathan on the other hand, would keep picking me up and chewing me before spitting me at the start of the area. This would go on and on and on until I'd FINALLY get a game over. This was really infuriating and killed all the tension that this huge abyssal beast inspired. It should have been: you run all lit up out of cover for too long - BAM - Leviathan gets you, you can only briefly see what's grabbed you before Simon dies. Then you try again but this time you'll be all shaking and careful. As things stand, it's really messy and gives the game a bad image for those who don't realize they're actually messing up.

In a twisted way this weakness is a strength to the game's story and mystery. The fact that they DO have certain strengths and weaknesses and all follow different behavior patterns combined with the fact that you have no idea what it is or how to figure it out kind of makes it cool. Don't get me wrong - they're still the weakest part of the game, but they still contribute to your overall experience, including the fact that you can't figure them out properly.

Compared to Amnesia and Penumbra, I feel that the game was more punishing with the monsters. True that they had weaknesses, but in Amnesia and Penumbra, they were more of obstacles than real threats and in Amnesia monsters despawned, in SOMA they don't. Proxies were blind, but they had excellent hearing, so if you bumbed up a bucket, they were usually rushing to that location. As for the Flesher... I really liked the idea that you couldn't stare at the monster. It made the game a bit more difficult and scarier, because you needed to hide from something which you can't look at. And of course, I still think that the encounter with Jin Yoshida was the most cleverly set up monster encounter in the Tripwire games so far. Everything was just so creepy about it, when it appears on the computer logs, that after you entered the facility, Jin Yoshida entered too shortly afterwards. And yes, in Amnesia if a monster spotted you, you could easily die, but then that specific monster never appeared again (except 1). In SOMA if you die, the monster will still patrol that region. So that is just not true. Amnesia way more forgiving when it came to monsters.

I couldn't agree more. The deep sea ocean floor trek is easily the highest tension sequence in a video game - or anything, really - that I've ever experienced. The deafening howl of the underwater currents, the immense darkness, the crushing pressure that distorts your vision even in your enhanced suit, all of the abyssal horrors lying in wait... and that sea-spider cave *shudders*. I felt like I couldn't fully breathe until I got to Tau. Frictional absolutely outdid themselves with that part.

I loved this game. The sound design, the overarching story, the fantastic music cues that come in at the right moment make this game a terrifying experience. Akers, to me, was the scariest one. Trapped in a maze that, at some point, loses power and turns off the lights left me in a nervous sweat. The problem is, as many have said before, that...it's really fucking hard to know what these enemies do. I think there's a case to be made that the confusion from what enemies do and don't do adds to the terror - confusion and the unknown lessen our control of a situation, hence making it scarier - but it runs the risk of doing that Outlast 2 thing where it becomes too confusing and unclear what you're meant to be doing so you just die again and again and again and instead of feeling scared you become frustrated. You can't feel both frustrated and scared simultaneously - if I start feeling the former, I'm no longer scared of the game. Examples of these issues are, for instance, in the Curie. Sure, the idea of an enemy that I can't look at is cool and all because it's depriving me of a sense I rely a lot on for survival, but simultaneously it sucks cos I have to do shit walking backwards whilst IT CAN STILL SEE ME! How is that fair? You're just making me blind against an enemy that can still see and hear me. And this wouldn't be too awful if the game TOLD YOU this was the case - all Catherine says is to not look. Another example is the Leviathan. I hate the deep sea with a passion so this environment at the end of the game is fucking terrifying to be in. However, the multiple logs you find whilst walking on the sea floor tell you that the wildlife doesn't attack when you are in well-lit areas. So when you are running the final sprint over to Phi and the Leviathan just keeps attacking you EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE ON A WELL-LIT PATH, knocking me back a good distance, how the fuck am I supposed to guess I have to hide from it? The game is leaving me crumbs of information to use to my advantage but then seemingly punishes me for heeding that info. That being said, this game is a fantastic experience. I personally think the true experience of this game is with the enemies on (aka Normal) because at moments this game is so terrifying and tense that you have to pause for a break every now and then. I imagine if you're reading this you've already played but, if you haven't, go and do yourself a favour.

Month late lol, but a lot of people got frustrated by their non linear or obtuse nature. It was easy to miss or forget the 'dont look at it' part of the flesher by the time you reach the ship, and when you don't know where to go and over estimate his ability, not being able to figure out where he is feels frustratingly paralyzing. Even knowing how he works intricately, he's my least favorite and i skip him with speedrun strats when I replay lol. For akers, he is very persistent. When you genuinely fear and respect him, you go slow, and he has no patrols you can get used to. He's always on you while you try to get lore or figure out where to go and what to do, and getting caught multiple times turns him into a chore of getting stuck in the same section. The fact that healing attracts him can lead to damage chaining when you first experience him. Then you reach the proxies, and expect more of this hyper aggressive non linear frustration, even though they are meant to be hidden from in steps through their patrol (cubbies are placed to make it convenient at times). They just keep coming, and going fast already knowing the patterns definitely trivializes them. So going slow as a new player can get exhausting, and that damages the scare factor. For our favorite claw lady, her mechanics are pretty obtuse. Lots of players just don't expect the mechanic, its very weird and unique. So they rush and get chased or caught and either get annoyed or brute force her since she's easy asf to outrun. You can just run to the battery and leave tbh, her wake up is slow. Some of the others like the fish and angler are easy to just miss lol. I'm surprised honestly but lots of players I've seen don't figure out that you hide under rocks from the leviathan, especially since some don't really feel like adequate cover. You assume it's a chase and get caught a few times and then are slow and still struggling. For Yoshida, you assume you should hide and there's lore to be found, but he always knows where you are. So either you feel over pressured or you keep moving and watch him and he's a pushover. Essentially, a lot of mechanics that make the monsters unique and a great experience for players who already understand horror monsters like amnesia well, are obtuse for players who don't. And when you can't figure out what's going on, you get stuck in place or die a lot, and then your fear slowly becomes annoyance. And once you give up and just start running past every monster, they get incredibly dull. It doesn't help that natural dialog with tips like the 'be quiet the proxy listens' can be cut off by scripted dialog and you just lose that info. Or some things require you to pay attention, ive seen many players not realize akers is blind. Which is baffling a bit if you pay attention, but you assume certain things when you suddenly see a monster, especially if you don't immediately connect the dots that he is akers at all. With a few hundred hours its difficult for me to remember the first experiences. But i do remember being paralyzed and frustrated with both the flesher and akers in my first run. Now i understand everything so intricately and have spent so long testing and playing with the ai, its impossible for me to have that moment of not knowing whats what yet again. Amnesia has simple monsters. And some people still don't notice the suitors are blind for example, they just play it safe and treat it like a brute. SOMA shoves the monsters more aggressively into spaces with you, so you cant just scrape by on assumptions as easily Idk if that makes any sense at all lol. Ive just watched lots of reviews and lets plays, and bought the game for most of my friends for them to stream a play through with me. So I've had lots of experiences with those 'first times', from people who start unafraid, to those who start so afraid they get bored of hiding. Hopefully it offers some insight into why so many people hate the monster sections of this game even though they are so much more varied. They are just so varied, you can never settle in. And while that keeps things spicy for those able and willing to learn monster gimmicks, its frustrating for those who just want to keep moving along

I know, that's not really your question. I personally never really checked which enemy does more damage etc. I try to avoid them all the time, as that's the purpose of this game 😅

@Viktoria Magrey Exept his "body" is a corpse that's held together by structure gel and a diving suit. He's a haphazard meat puppet and It's a minor miracle he can move normally at all. That and since it's a woman's body you'd think he'd notice the fact that he has "feminine"parts all of a sudden. That and his voice sounds normal with no hint of distortion at all so it's clearly not robotic in nature. it's very strange to hear a male voice come out of female vocal cords. Hell he dosen't have eyes, it's a camera unit that's been crudely shoved into the skull of the corpse and held in place with structure gel. I don't see how the fuck you wouldn't notice the change in vision and the complete lack of any feeling in you're eyes. Considering he isn't on brain altering drugs or suffering from severe psychosis I think it would be fairly difficult to just ignore all of that.

@@feedthemeat543f When you really analyze it, Simon being unaware for so long does seem a bit of a stretch. But Simon's mind subconsciously, yet deliberately, misinterpreting and denying the state his body is in is essentially the canon explanation in-game, and a major theme in the story to boot. -It's why Carl-bot is convinced he's still in his human body despite waving giant robot arms in front of his own face. (Read more) -It's why the diving suit suddenly appears over Simon's "bare" arms after the Communications Center at Upsilon floods - it takes literally being submerged in water before Simon's conscious mind is willing to accept that he must be wearing a suit if he's still alive. -It's the core of the conversation Simon has (well, tries to have) with Catherine at Delta, where he muses about how his mind has found a good balance between ignorance and understanding, and he worries that a sudden glimpse of insight might drive him insane. -It's why Robin Bass's scan inside the bot just outside Theta isn't panicking and thinks she must be on the ARK. -It's likely why some of the game's enemies are aggressive in the first place - they are human scans that COULDN'T cope with their robot bodies and DID go insane (e.g. the red-light helper bots between upsilon and lambda, the robot girl in Omicron, possibly the construct in Upsilon and others as well) And so on and so forth. In the end, like any work of science fiction, you have to meet it halfway and be willing to suspend disbelief. Who knows just how advanced the brain scan and robotics technology supposedly is at the time SOMA takes place? Consider that pilot seat technology - where your mind could essentially mesh with machine and put you in control "of a different body" was widely in use at Pathos-II before the WAU even started intervening. Combine that with a little hand-waving about how the WAU's algorithms and structure gel work, and the fact that Simon's scan is relatively "primitive" (and he had brain damage before even getting the scan done) - it's at least *plausible* to think that Simon's body-brain interaction included some subconscious denial and deliberate ignorance.

It's also pretty clear that structure gel causes mutations in humans yet reed's body doesn't seem to be affected by it despite the corpse being exposed to a healthy amount of it.

Some may say, that SOMA monsters are bad, but i think, what makes them interesting is not their abilities or appearances, but the building pressure that you feel prior to meeting them. It's not the hiding from Akers that makes you afraid, but the knowledge that he's somewhere ahead of you and you follow his trail of bodies. Omg, when I saw the door that the Construct was banging on, I thought it was killing someone - the screams were so awful! But as the game progressed, it became clear that there couldn't be anyone human/alive at Upsilon, so it must have been HIS screams. Creep factor just rocketed. Of course may be I'm just easily scared =D I was ready to do a second playthrough, because I have good memory for that sort of thing and remember where was each monster I saw and where they were just scripted. So it should've been easier than the first time, right? But... I read some walkthrough to see if there were any plot choices I missed. That's how I found that Curie monster - Flesher - actually comes back after you speak to Chun but before you find the Ark terminal. And that was the last room i entered... and i didn't see the monster which was stalking Simon all along O___O Another thing is Yoshida. I knew from the log in the dive room, that's something is out there. Me and my friend immediately dubbed it Suit #3 in accordance to the said log. Putting a name to it is not much but somewhat comforting. Then we saw it, easily evaded, and that's was it. And THEN I found that it was supposed to be the most difficult monster in the game and it's very skillful. Now I'm not sure I'm ready to meet it again.

Sorry for the late reply. Regarding the first encounter, I always thought it *was* actually someone being killed by the Construct in that room. Anyway, what baffles me is how it managed to get out. It's a clumsy, bulky robot that won't simply squeeze in a tiny hole. But I digress. I guess I get the point in what you're mean about the second playthrough. There are plenty of differently scripted events regarding different actions of the player. That only confirms how much effort was put into the final product, and reinforces replayability. ;) I've had enough good, creepy moments like this in custom stories alone, where I replayed the game and decided to check _that another room, cause I've not seen it on my blind playthrough, even though I'm sure there's nothing of importance in there_, only to get surprised real hard. (This memo is the best example I've captured, shameless plug: kzitem.info/news/bejne/p5md26upoWSEZqQ&ab_channel=amnesiaPUZZLES) so now I know: it's NEVER easier on a second playthrough. :p As for Jin Yoshida, finding the log with his name was actually very stress-inducing for me. Great foreshadowing of an enemy yet to appear. If I had never found the log, I'd be less stressed out for the encounter.

Just played Upsilon part yesterday and with clearer head watched Construct. It's really a unique monster in the game. First thing that should be noted is that vents actually seem to have enough space for it to fit through. And its limbs look very 'organic', so they don't have same restrictions as classic 'robot' limbs. Now Construct's movement inside the vents won't be elegant, and that's what makes it so cool. At an amazing speed Construct crawls through the area, screaming madly, bending pipes, knocking down doors, destroying abandoned equipment... It is probably the most aggressive monster out there, although it seems to suffer as much as everyone else. You can see why Amy and Carl put so many seals around the place. This one is completely insane. Man, it seemed like it was ready to kill while it was hanging on its station. And it really screams, even when simply patrolling. Absolutely love this monster =) PS. Thinking about the vents I mostly wonder how 'simon's body' got in the room. I imagine its movements looked completely inhuman. Can't wait for yet another disturbing thought to occur on this playthrough.

Well, first of all: UH3s do not have 'legs'. These were grown/attached by WAU and should be more advanced in a way since WAU has a noted tendency to make tech more... efficient. That PROBABLY means more DoFs for limbs, more opportunities for less robot-like movement IF it is needed... At least it seems like a logical thing to assume about WAU's creatures, but i may be terribly wrong, I admit. Considering death screen images, it is my current belief that Reed's body crawled through the vents by itself and, uh.... tore half of the head of with its own bare hands. Ripped out the cortex chip from nearby robot and... well, yeah, creepy beyond most of the stuff you can actually see in the game.

The most terrifying part of this game for me wasn't the monsters, it was all the people displaced by the WAU, scattered across the ocean floor in bodies that weren't theirs - the 'Mockingbirds'. Carl, Javid, Peter, Robin, Alan, Jonsy, the Construct, the Scavengers, and the DUNBAT (who is probably poor Garrett). That totally messed me up. 'All that water... we're drowning.' Though to be fair, the Fleshers are freaking terrifying to me as well. Human corpses probably piloted by an AI? No thanks!

Imagine waking up as a submarine one day, like what would you do? You don't get cold, you don't get hungry, at least not the same way humans do - pretty much everything that makes up your life and currently gives it meaning ceases to be important. Even if you weren't on a comet struck dead planet, your priorities would be wholly unique compared to everyone else - you'd be alone in the ocean drifting meaninglessly without purpose or joy.

My gamma was a bit low when I played this game, which changed a lot in the monster encounters. For example, I didn't really see the cover in the Leviathan encounter. Nor the floor. Nor the Leviathan. Yeah, the only thing I could make out in the abyss were the lights. Which is realistic, I must say. So my experience during the Leviathan encounter consisted of booking it towards the blue lights while the Leviathan hid in the dark. I was attacked twice, but I made it first try. Quite a dramatic experience, I must say. Limping towards the faint lights of the Site Phi airlock. It was so dramatic in fact that I believed it might be the intended way of playing the game. It wasn't, but I really enjoyed it. Oh but fuck Theta maintenance. I didn't know the proxies were blind until quite late on, so I didn't turn my flash light on. Yet again, I saw _nothing._ And that time, there weren't even blue lights to follow. Now there's a scary level.

Back in 2009 I had this 300 buck Dell Inspiron laptop that I used to play games on. It had this auto-gamma adjust that would darken the screen during dark scenes, and brighten it for bright scenes. It ended up making Left 4 Dead 2 impossible to play. Years later I built my own PC and fired up the mod that has the castle map and out loud said "OH, THERE'S THE MAP!" All I could see on the Dell was the glow of torches, the usernames, and the healthbars. I despise auto-gamma.

The "infiltration" side of the game was not always the greatest but when you couldn't get around one of them or didn't know what made them tick really, sometimes you just went for it and made a run for your life, which in then end, totally added to the value of the atmosphere. Running around with the power suit monster trailing very close, not knowing which corridor to take, that sort of thing. The first playthrough is generally very scary. On the other hand I didn't know you could be "safe" so close to some of them. For Leviathan, I just kept running, was grabbed a couple times but I made it to the end without getting knocked out. For the proxy, I didn't realize it was blind but it's obviously attracted to any sound so in the end anyone just hides behind those drawers just in case. One of those blobs caused me real problems when he wouldn't move from a point I had to go through. Whatever way I tried to divert his attention, he just stayed put and very still, so I had the feeling the AI broke.

My take on this game’s monsters: Construct: very nice way to start off the game, very clear mechanics, clever way to ease the player in. Has some very interesting music. Crawler: this guy is super easy to outrun but he is creepy the first time you see him Flesher: this was actually probably the scariest one for me (excluding one other), mainly in the ship. Those portions felt truly tense and because their mechanic was explained so clearly they felt pretty fair. Also nudity Proxy and Akers: when I say that only one other enemy felt tense, this is what I mean. Their sound design is the best in the game and creates a very memorable atmosphere. The biggest problem with these enemies is that I thought that they could see me and if you looked at them they would get you at some point, lying somewhere in between the flesher and the amnesia enemies in how they reacted to you looking at them. I feel like they should’ve specified that you don’t need to look away from them, at least more clearly. The amnesia monsters would just detect you eventually if you looked at them, so why wouldn’t the proxies? The Akers encounter got frustrating quickly as I took refuge in the security office and it took ages for him to leave for long enough for me to escape. They have my favorite music in the game, and what makes it special is the fade in to the chase theme, which truly makes you fucking PANIC. The long server room encounter was the best out of all of them, because on the way back I accidentally triggered a chase and I remember looking back and seeing it just fucking RUNNING towards me and really putting the “flight” in “fight or flight” (Fun fact: one of the sounds that you hear while crawling in the vents before the Akers encounter is titled akers_tomfoolery) Robot girl: hot Okay seriously now. The robot girl was weird because some things clues you into thinking it’s activated by sound whereas it’s actually just activated by movement, something that I never could’ve guessed. The scripted chase was terrifying though. (I wish they added an encounter with the remade human, the man on the floor in omicron that disappears at some point. There’s ai for it in the game files and everything.) Viper fish: not much of an opinion on this one honestly Anglerfish: never noticed it on my first playthrough Jin Yoshida: this one is honestly one that I dislike. The brevity of his encounter differs from the Robot Girl in that instead of making him memorable it just makes him forgettable. He has such little buildup and I wish he was seen at least once more in the game in order to actually make him memorable or interesting. When I saw him I actually felt kind of annoyed, saying “another one?” Leviathan: everyone talks like it’s the hardest and most annoying enemy in the game... but I never got hit by it. I just ran to the end (like I’m guessing most people did) and eventually made it. Quick shoutout to KATE for being the most lovable little thing on the earth. If you fall off of delta it’ll pick you up and put you back on the island. Then Simon says “You’re stronger than you look, little man.” Note he says “little man” instead of the “little guy” from when he rescues you from the crash. Details like that make me love this game even more.

You do have the option to make the monsters peaceful with the lowest difficulty option, if I remember correctly. They'll still wander around and make the atmosphere tense with their presence, but they won't actually harm you. Try that and give it another go. After all, the story is the most amazing part of the game. You can leave the monster chases behind.

To think...that the Warden Unite created these things (or at least most of them) to help the humans of Pathos ll to survive, not realizing that it is condeming them into an existance worse then death...that's really one of the more frightening aspects of this game, and of other scifi stories- this NAIVETÉ that artificial intelligences can display about humanity. I think that the reason as to why so many robots and A.I.s end up either turning on humanity or doing to it more haem then good is because we don't bother to teach them about the complexity and nature of humanity as a whole. We are so focused on how to keep machines under our control, that we forget to also make an effort that sentient machines will understand that we are not just violent or destructive, or in this game's case, are ok with being turned into half human half machine hybrids against our will...

Honestly, me spoiling some monster behaviors for myself made it a more enjoyable experience. I see a lot of people give this game hate on its monsters, but to be honest, I enjoyed it. I was too terrified to go in completely blind, so every time I encountered a new monster, I looked up its wiki page to put myself at ease. The game does a terrible job of letting you know how the monsters work, for sure, so looking them up actually made the game more enjoyable, and in a way, more terrifying for me. Say what you will, but minus having to use this roundabout way to understand the enemies, I honestly found SOMA more immersive, fun, and terrifying than Amnesia: TDD! Definitely at the top of my scariest gaming experiences, though I've just started Amnesia: Rebirth, so we'll see how that list changes... Fantastic video, by the way. Now that I've had my scares and beaten the game, it's nice to see it played casually, and to watch the monsters get juked like its a one-sided basketball match

I really like how Yoshida works. Not only is scary as f***, but is also really difficult, and basically is a test of everything that the games teaches you. I had to try for an hour before I could beat that part, because he'll be on my neck all the time. You have to keep an eye on him all the time, WHILE opening doors, so basically you have to do perfect turns around to press buttons without losing one second, because he'll get you... With the majority of enemies just walking slow is enough to beat them, but Yoshida breaks that rule and catch you off guard.
