FORT SOLIS: Arthur Morgan's Spooky Space Game

FORT SOLIS is a good game to play if you hate playing games and would rather wander around a hallway for a couple of hours until Troy Baker pops out and yells at you for a little bit.

Not having a run button in a horror game is an awful choice. They're basically telling you from the start of the game that you'll never be in any danger as the player.

[@profpuffofficial2]

"Now _you're_ doubtin' me, too? You, Arthur? Now this I did not see comin'. I thought you, of all people, would _trust_ and _understand_ that I have a very, very good reason to bring us to this deserted hellscape of a planet where the gale-force sandstorms will tear you apart if all the radiation doesn't bake you into soup first, a very, very, very good reason! You just need to be a little patient, that's all."

Mars actually does have clouds! They are rare compared to other planets and they usually form around the polls. Unlike our clouds they usually don't hold water vapor, but other gasses like CO2 can start to crystalize into clouds. These clouds are so small and thin we struggle to see them, but we have seen them.

[@killermario9274]

So I guess you don’t go to the cloud district often

[@jackiedaytona3965]

Bill Nye the science guy came to fucking PLAY in the comments hell yeah dude

[@MorganHarper87]

I interpret this as, "Yes, but not really. Not in the way that we typically think of clouds." Nevertheless, thank-you for broadening my knowledge base.

[@kaggykarr]

Mars Pathfinder shot a bunch of martian clouds. Looks like normal clouds to me.

[@TheMC1102]

This game looks like what would happen if the studio that made Callisto Protocol tried to make Death Stranding.

[@Kirbyoto2098]

Troy Baker is the villain in both of them.

[@hazukichanx408]

I dunno man, Death Stranding had, y'know, gameplay. Hiking, _running,_ driving, delivering packages, occasionally shooting or punching dudes, evading ghosts... this game kinda seems like it never really goes past "walk around, read stuff, listen to stuff, uh... is it a game yet? We're pretty sure it's a game at this point, byeeeeee"

Truly fascinating how this team managed to create a game that you play entirely at E3 Ubisoft Trailer pace. You know how they take the time to slowly walk through cities instead of having a death grip on the sprint button.

We need an Oboeshoes meme game where the scientists develop...those things...

[@ASpooneyBard]

There's a part where you have to climb a wall and a prompt appears that asks if you want to do some "Uncharted Climbing". The choices are: Yes The rest of the game sucks so it might as well have Uncharted Climbing too Then you still have to do it.

[@Cavirex]

No it's "those... things."

And you can shoot the piano, buy snacks from a vendor and defeat a Bionicle with a forklift.

I would have guessed no clouds on Mars because there are no oceans/big bodies of water, but Google says: "The clouds consist of water ice condensed on reddish dust particles suspended in the atmosphere."

Just started this game, looks nice and am enjoying it so far though not being able to run seems to needlessly slow down exploring and feels restrictive. Unless I am missing something I seem to only be able to slowly move around.

[@Flow764]

You know how we look at movies from the 80's and make fun of mullets because of dumb they look to people who didn't grow up at that time? Yeah, that's what every videogame character with a side cut is going to look like to people in 30 years.

[@tstststs]

I like side cuts but even I know they are overused as fuck I think its just helmet hair syndrome. Easiest thing to model that looks edgy

[@TrinSpin]

wait, side cuts aren't looked at in the same light as mullets or frosted tips already?

[@leowilliamson1573]

​@@tstststsTheir hair's cut like that because of the helmets. I'm pretty sure even now that's a standard thing for astronauts to ensure the integrity of the suit. This game's boring af, but it's definitely going for a grounded feel. It's like how the Hitler mustache was an actual, practical thing people chose to do to their facial hair to wear World War 1 era gas masks (Hitler just kept it as a way of showing he used to be a soldier during his political career.)

[@CoyoteDen]

[@robertb7293]

Mars has a whole one big old circle cloud that shows up every summer. It doesn't spin or any cool hurricany things. It just shows up and sits around near the north pole sometimes. There are some high and wispy ones as well. But only the big old round cloud has water in it. Mid effort from team cloud I think. Team dust storm is where it's at.
