Huh?

the deep sea part also isnt very realistic since it would crush a normal diver under the pressure, but if they left that part out I wouldnt like it as much. Im glad they bent the reality just enough to make the game enjoyable on several levels without going completely overboard.jgkspsx said:1up gave it an 8 and a fairly glowing review.
I have to say, though it's quite enjoyable, that the lack of realism is kind of a turn-off. It's nice that they have information about critters, but penguins and polar bears in the same stretch of ocean is a little... much. I'd rather have seen a single, realistic stretch of ocean, I think.
But the life bar... :lol Crispin, if a big shark attacks you, your "health bar" doesn't decrease. You might lose an appendage or you might die. If you're lucky you might just have scars the rest of your life. But the hospital simulator part of the game would have been no fun at all.

It does have custom soundtracks.WrikaWrek said:What?

Edit: The game DOES have an air guage that runs out and forces you to come up.

DevelopmentArrested said:So EGM doesn't want to review Endless Ocean since it's a "non-game" apparently but Shane is happy to blab about Flow on PSN for hours on 1up Yours when it came out.
.Charlatanized said:... This frustrates me, but not as much as EGM does. That is absolutely pre-fucking-posterous. Endless Ocean is a part of a new movement in gaming. It's a movement, it's an addition, it's an evolution. It's not a replacement. It's not a threat. What a way to bullishly embrace complete stagnation, EGM. I could have a free subscription to that rag up to the year 2068, but I'd rather not waste my time.
Jirotrom said:you guys know that 1up reviewed it right. The thing is I believe EGM thinks their audience doesn't want to know anything about endless ocean, and quite honestly EGM misses alot of game reviews.
Mason said:This is why the only people who subscribe to EGM anymore get it from free subscriptions online.
I'm really liking Endless Ocean, although for the first day or two I played it, I was a little frustrated. Before I started unlocking a lot of the equipment and uncovering new areas, I was thinking "THIS IS IT?! FUCKED OVER BY GAF AGAIN" but as I continued playing, it got a lot better. One of the things that frustrated me at first was the game's slow pace. I kept getting angry that the diver wouldn't swim faster, for example. Eventually, though, I kind of got into the slower rhythm and began to enjoy it more.
I'm actually having a TON of fun now that I got the camera because I'll sit there for 5 minutes following a fish trying to get the perfect shot and I love when a picture turns out great. Has anyone figured out a way for us to share our photos yet? I've got a few really good ones.

Innotech said:EGM is full of shit. but Im guessing that EGM also didnt take the time to notice the actual GAME in this including a story, objectives, puzzles, and some detective work. you know, like a HARDCORE GAMERS SORT OF GAMEPLAY. They are too far up the ass of western devs to realize the innovative ideas and uniqueness of this game, not to mention the very qualities it possesses that would make them cream their pants in the first place
BradVanDam said:crispin said it was a wal-mart fish tank .
Is it true?
because Flow captures the Soul of Playstation while Endless Ocean is an evil scheme of Nintendo to ruin the hardcores..DevelopmentArrested said:So EGM doesn't want to review Endless Ocean since it's a "non-game" apparently but Shane is happy to blab about Flow on PSN for hours on 1up Yours when it came out.

I believe I was hinting for someone to convince me to buy it. :lolIke said:I'm still on the fence on getting this game. On one hand, it looks to have a great aesthetic quality to it and it's only $30, but one the other hand I don't know if I can see myself spending money on a diving sim.
