Anyone played Sunless Sea? Was thinking of getting it as it looks interesting, wanted to hear some feedback from anyone who is familiar with it.

The moment to moment gameplay isn't especially exciting, but the stories in the different ports you visit are great. The guy who wrote Horizon Signal, the Worm-In-Waiting story, in Stellaris wrote for Sunless Sea as well.

I couldn't get out of my damn home system. Cause the fucking ship wouldn't survey the sun like the stupid robot kept telling me to. So I just uninstalled it.

...this is honestly the first time I've ever heard of someone being unable to get out of the home system in Stellaris.

It's not my fault the stupid game didn't work.

Mine. But the stupid game wouldn't do it. After about 20 minutes of nothing, I gave up.

Finished some game called Afterparty. It was pretty good. One of those games you play for the narrative, not the gameplay. But it was a treat.

One time I was playing mafia 2 just chilling I had the fastest car in game so I am just driving going to Mike bruski to steal some cars and gain money then suddenly my car jumps up and goes half way across the map this is the wonkiest glitch I have experienced my second wonkiest was the time I got stuck in a pole in AC unity and just restarted the game third is L A noire where I am driving through the void due to slow rendering I regularly crashed into poles and my partner Roy yelled at me

I enjoyed it for the most part. I thought it lacked depth in some parts though, it could have done with a bit longer in the oven methinks.

...it could have been a bug. You should have just started a new generated galaxy to see if that fixed it.

Yeah, it could have used a touch more time. Especially with the graphics. Lot of clipping. But it wasn't too bad a bother.

Feh. Game probably wasn't that good anyway.

You stray from the path, but the worm still loves you.

I assume that's a reference to something that happens in the game, but as I didn't get out of my home system, I do not get it.

Ironically, the worm waits within your home system.

How long ago did you try playing the game? 3 years ago? Because that's the only time you would have ever been directed to survey your own sun. It's literally not a thing in the game anymore.
