This game is becoming a sleeper hit. Isn't it?

Well I bought the game after reading through this thread a few times, and I also picked up an SD card and reader because I was looking forward to exploring, etc. while listening to the music I want...
But there's no playlist function or way to play all of the MP3s on the SD card?? I can't find any way to just play all of my music, and instead I can only play 1 song per dive.
Someone tell me this isn't true and I just haven't found it...

That's LAME. Oh well, I guess I'll just look for some longer songs or something.

After a couple of hours, the game's officially won me over. I thought it was a somewhat-fun distraction at first and I enjoyed just swimming around and cataloguing the different types of fish. Kept going and going and was starting to wonder if it was a one-note experience, and then two things happened:
1.
2.
Oh, and I gotta say, if you play the game, definitely play along to your own soundtrack. I suppose the music I chose had a lot to do with how I felt when I was playing, but the songs definitely enhanced the experience.
1.
I saw my first whale. HOLY. CRAP. Seriously, for a game that isn't in HD and doesn't have the best graphics, I was completely blown away when I saw my first whale. I ended up swimming with it for several minutes, completely lost in the experience.
2.
I discovered a network of underwater caves. MOTHER. FU*CKER. It's hard to explain the experience--I was filled with dread and apprehension, but at the same, I was so excited and anxious to push further and further into the caves. It was an odd experience where I felt afraid of what lay ahead but was oddly comforted by how beautiful the entire thing felt. Weird.

Last night I also re-visited the Abyss and that Benedictus song was on, and I forgot there's that one moment of brief relative quiet in the chorus and then all of a sudden it goes BOOM and the chorus starts this beautiful, haunting uproar.
Man that made me jump out of my seat!
You jinxed me asshole

Wow, I'm really quite enjoying this. It's very, very unique, especially as I never played any of the similar PS2 games. I feel so happy when a dolphin decides to flip when I pet it <3

This game relaxes my worn out soul. I'm having a blast with this game, especially since I can play it with my girlfriend around and she'll want to watch. Good times.

in case you have a DC (or a good emu), a game that approaches this amount of underwater mystery and atmosphere is ecco the dolphin: defender of the future, but man, did that game give me a phobia of drowning. even now in EO when i take a dolphin with me on a dive i can't stop being concerned about them drowning, even though i'm well aware EO does not feature such stuff.

I'm sure its already been mentioned, but has anyone come up any really music to play off an SD card int he game? I heard you can't change tracks while diving, but obviously you could just combine a bunch of tracks into one.
I suppose Enya would fit the bill :lol

Should I rent this or No more Heroes? Which is the more essential experience?
Valkyr Junkie said:
Wait, so you really can only listen to one track at a time while underwater? I had dumped a bunch of mp3s onto my SD card hoping it could shuffle them or something while I was on dives, but noticed that it just repeated whatever I picked on the radio on the boat over and over. Is the only way really to combine them all into one huge file? If so, what's the easiest program to do this?
DarthWoo said:
Try the concatenate function of "copy". Start a command prompt and:
copy /b "file name 1.mp3"+"file name 2.mp3" "combined.mp3"
You'll get a semi-valid mp3 file - some players will only play the first track, some will play the whole thing. You'd have to test a file created with this method on Endless Ocean to know for sure, and I don't have the game.
Like the hat?

I'm much better in that area now! I suppose even with a game like this, you realize that the largest things in the game still can't hurt you or are particularly frightening, and then the big expansive mystery behind the voids cease to be as terrifying as my own head makes them out to be.
Sometimes when swimming along and you're not aware something big is floating around it can surprise you...
I rented this and enjoyed this game immensely. However, after finding the major fish (ya know... magu) and whales, I couldn't really be bothered to go find all of the treasures which is at random or complete the fish book when some fish don't appear for certain seasons.
Its truly an enjoyable game though. I only got all that I wanted out of possibly 30 hours with this game. I really love the fish interaction, but everblue 2 has it best with all of the treasure collecting.
