That's the power of the GamePass/rental model. It works due to economy of scale, and for you on an individual basis that usually means insane value.
so i'd ordered the iam8bit ps4 version for whenever that gets here...is there any option to upgrade it to a ps5 version (PSN etc)?
Finished it with all memories collected. I really loved the ambiance of the environments and the characters. Some of the environments did kind of reminded me of a Half-Life world.
Not sure if to pursue all the achievements since I'm close to 100%. I usually don't care about that stuff, but it might turn out like a fun adventure.

I appreciated that and that there was no "cat sense" mode
Anyone else getting motion sickness with this game? Normally I have no problems with third person games but this game make me feel really, really queasy arter a few minutes. Even activating the recticle did not help.
I will have to play this in short bursts, thankfully it is only a few hours long.

Was I the only one that teared up at the end? Also, it was sad that you never got to reunite with your kitty friends.
Seems like I am not the only one with major motion sickness problems in this game:

FOV options should be mandatory in any game, even if performance needs to be sacrificed.

I dunno, this game has really outworn its welcome now. Should have ended a long time ago. Wish the game really was only a couple hours long like people said.
I felt a little like that because I wasn't keen on the stealth/squidgy thing parts in the second half anywhere near as much as the initial city/open world part.
My wife and I were literally begging for there to be a post-credits sequence where you find your family on the "outside". After reflecting on it, it does make sense to leave an element of melancholy open ended-ness given the heavy revelations near the end.
I agree with your take 100%. I loved playing as a cat but couldn't care less about the drone. It would have been great if they found a way to tell the story from the eyes of a cat through various non-verbal interactions with the companions, rather than having a sentient drone tell it to me. I loved the cat parts but the drone ruined what could have been a much better game. A missed opportunity though it was, I still appreciated exploring the world and the cat animations and controls were top notch. Also, they should have had the cat sniff at everything first. And what kind of cat just nonchalantly wades through puddles like that?
Just completed the game. It wasn't exactly the wild rollercoaster of emotions that The Last Guardian was, but
Overall, I really enjoyed Stray. Not quite masterpiece-tier, but almost there.
Just one question:
I did choke up a little when B-12 bid farewell before 'dying'. And then the kitty slept next to it. That tugged on the heartstrings a bit. Even the act of leaving my little drone friend motionless on the floor in order to get up to the surface was rough for me.
Just one question:
did we get any closure on what happened to Momo in the end? I tried looking out for it during the ending, but I don't think I saw it anywhere.
That's been on my mind too.
if I remember correctly the game purposefully shows you as you enter that area that there's at least 2 zurks in close proximity to momo, the implication is obviously that they will attack. Unclear if we're to assume they didn't survive though…
Wasn't Momo one of the ones at the end looking up from his porch?
I do want to play through it again, I just don't know if I want to do it just yet.
During the cutscene with the roof opening, we see Momo on the ledge outside their house.
ah yes, I'd forgotten about that bit. Just checked out a video and pretty convinced that is Momo during the end sequence video. Guess they got out of the sewers fine.
I wish I could customise the cat or choose to play as the black cat in the beginning. I also have a black cat and I love him so dearly.
I'm kind of glad they don't have customization, actually. I'm not sure I'd want to see my kitty going through some of the rougher parts of the game.
Aside from that, though, I do agree with the devs on this.. this is the story of one particular cat, and he happens to be an orange tabby.

lol now THIS is the very essence of PC gaming right there.
I loved the storyline of the game. The gameplay I am in two minds about, sometimes it was extremely frustrating. Having said that I would be totally onboard with dlc to continue the story or hell give me stray 2 right now.
I have become quite taken with this game. Taking my time with it and enjoying every second of it.
Yeah, no one who helped you in the game dies or is hurt. Momo acts like opening the sewer gate is a sacrifice but it's like.... just paddle back to the slums, babe.
Got it chief. I'll dump them off at the local shelter right away and tell them some wacko from ERA sent me.
i played with motion blur off at first and felt it.Seems like I am not the only one with major motion sickness problems in this game:

had to turn on motion blur to leviate a bit of thw motion sickness feeling.
the game fov is way too zoomed in
I believe this is actually a reference to Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, if you recall the context in which "electric zurks" are mentioned. As far as I can tell there are no actual electric zurks in the game.
It's kind of a sacrifice because it's Momo giving up on the journey to see their friends again, at least in the short-term. The idea that it might still be possible to make it to the Outside was clearly the spark Momo needed, so giving up on it again was kind of a big deal. That was how I interpreted the scene originally, it didn't really seem like Momo was going to die. Clementine definitely felt more like a real sacrifice, though.
The Trophy "Can't Cat-ch Me" is kicking my ass.. I am at the point of constantly zig-zagging through the aree to evade the Zurks but the little fuckers keep getting me. This one seems overly tricky, especially since the later stealthy and pacifist ones were much easier! :D
I was getting nauseous at first. But was totally fine after turning off motion blur. The only other time turning off motion blur helped me so much with motion sickness is when I turned it off on Marvel's Avengers.Seems like I am not the only one with major motion sickness problems in this game:

Stray is such a great game. It took me over ten hours to finish because I just wanted to explore.
This took me a good hour last night lol there is a lot of luck involved but there are some patterns. The one that always got me was where the path splits and you have to choose between the right or left doorway. The Zurks just flood the screen and I 100% believe that one is pure luck based 😭
Might be one of the most stressless and relaxing games I played, just a visual feast from beginning to end. And also what an OLED showcase
Just finished, really enjoyed it. Glad it didn't overstay it's welcome although
was almost getting there. Surprised I missed a few of the memories, felt like I went everywhere.
the sewers
Indeed! Despite having no HDR, the game really shines on OLED displays. The lighting is stunning.
Oh, that's an interesting take! Although Momo articulates that really dramatically, lol.
This will probably end up being my #2 Game of the Year. We'll see if anything remaining this year can touch it.
