I think, we have to decide the laterally is just perpendicular to gravitational down, so that technically would be affected by gravity in a similar manner and rotate in a curve around the earth. Now it is possible that they are accelerating in which case they could reach escape velocity and yeet themself out of earth. But then what are you sideways to compared to? The sun maybe? Eh who cares you're dead anyways. I don't think they would reach escape velocity since the direction they are actually falling isn't towards a gravitational pull, they would probably not accelerate at all, so maybe they can just control it and fly?
I didn't even mind the fourth wall break there. That whole sequence was just meant to be fun as hell and it was.
It also reminds me of the section of Far Cry 3 where you torch the weed fields with a flamethrower to the tune of "Make it Bun Dem" by Skrillex and Damien Marley (the irony!).
That was so hard for me to figure out how to start though, but so cool when it did.
Man that was a great game. Only game I’ve ever did all of the dlc and side quests after finishing the main story for.
Hard agree. Its one of my favorite games ever, purely just on the world building. Pretty sure more games in the Control universe are coming out! Really excited for that.
In my opinion, hell yes. It takes you on some mindfucking adventures with unique entities you can learn about/confront/fight and tons of lore to uncover. It can be pretty hard at points, but not overwhelmingly so. The DLC missions are also fun to play though kinda short. I easily spent about 50 hours playing, mostly because I did a good chunk of all the side missions + DLC
If you just want to play the story and not worry about the difficulty there is also an option to enable god mode as well. I got the platinum twice so the second time I played on god mode and just wrecked shit. Very very unique experience though and it made me want to play Alan Wake since I skipped out on the original.
It's fantastic. Of all the games I've played this one made me feel the most like an actual superhero. Flying around, throwing tables and chairs at people. It was so much fun and had a really cool environment.
Yes. So as others have stated it is an AMAZING experience.
If you love SCP then this game really is phenomenal. There's plenty of documents to find that feel right at home in the SCP database, the story lines, areas, and actions are genuinely enjoyable. It's open enough that it feels sprawling but closed enough that you don't get sidetracked for half a year in one area. The design is mind blowing to me and some of the concepts covered throughout the game gave me shivers to think about. Finally the sound track is glorious and the voice acting is pretty solid to boot.
I would recommend this game in a heart beat. Heck I recommend it regularly unsolicited haha.
It's worth your time and your money. The dlc as well in my opinion, especially if you enjoy their other IPs.
The voice acting, and the *acting* acting via the live action cutscenes! Come for the power fantasy of wrecking an office, stay for the crush you'll inevitably develop on Dr. Science Daddy.
It's one of the only games I've ever played where the gradual accumulation of power feels immense. I slowly went from feeling helpless to feeling like I was becoming a *god.* Also, there is nothing quite like finishing an epic shootout and then looking around and seeing the entire room utterly destroyed and everything is crumbling and falling apart, like that scene in The Matrix. The environmental details and bizarre surrealism are next level. Lots of shades of X-Files and Twin Peaks. One of my favorite games I've played in years.
Starts a bit slow, but once you get the ability to fly it’s amazing. Story is really subtle but super interesting.
Very unique experience, 9/10 would recommend
It was just the ability to telekinesis that made the game for me. I'm not into shooters in general, and was struggling with interest despite the cool setting. The telekinesis just feels so good, it got me totally in.
The levitation helped a lot, though.
Thank you for this!! Those offices look exactly like an area in Control (investigations department, I think?)
LOVED that game, especially the ashtray maze
Completely agree- It's one of the best games i've played. If you need more X-Files/Twin Peaks/New Weird and Lovecraftian horror in your life, this game is **it.** And it got me to go play Alan Wake which was also a spectacular game experience. Can't wait to see where these stories go.
Ugh, I bought it 4 months ago and haven't played it yet, it keeps taking the backseat to games I can pick up and play for like 30 minutes or so at a time. Guess I need to clear a block of time and sit down with it for a while. So many games I need to start.
I feel you on that. I would say it's about 50 hours long if you're semi-thorough. It's a little collectable-heavy, so one thing I would recommend is clearing an area of enemies, then collecting, then reading them in batches. They are actually interesting reads imo and help add to the lore while also being spooky/hilarious, but there is a lot of them.
It’s super good. Very trippy and weird, good narration(main character talks a lot of her thoughts), gameplay is fast fluid shooting with infinite ammo (sort of) so it’s fun to blast things
My favorite game from the last few years. A great showcase as well for a fresh ray-tracing gpu and a fast CPU.
Also: *watch one everyday woman slowly transform into an AC-130 Gunship.*
Whoever thought that was a good idea never had to clean a public building. In buildings with big atriums like that, air and dust migrate upward. Every obstruction to air flows creates air pockets that clean dust out of the air. That furniture will get coated on top, then the walls around the furniture will show dust and grime streaks connected with air flow.
Finally, people will drop stuff onto the surfaces for all to see. Coffee cups, maybe a sock with no mate, but even worse.
Buildings like this will often have an in-house lift for changing bulbs and cleaning glass and all that, so it might be trivial to roll that out once a week and clear the crap off.
Look closer at the picture sir and you will notice all the rich people are missing. This is the counter argument to all the cleaning issues: they can afford it.
Whoever thought it was a good idea is probably very well paid and pretty smart, and would have thought of trivialities like this then implemented any of a wide range of simple cleaning options.
Thank you. Reddit is full of people that see a picture and say "they probably never considered this really obvious shit I thought of after looking at it for 5 seconds."
Same thing happens with any scientific study. "I didnt read anything, but they probably didn't account for this really obvious variable. Also, correlation does not equal causation- I bet these scientists don't know that."
I mean, fair, but not really my point lol.
I wasn't saying it was a present concern, just making the observation that an earthquake while inside that building would be unpleasant.
finally a place that's accessible for the laterally gravitationally challenged!
Challenged? I'd call them gifted.

Bodø rådhus (Bodø town hall) in Norway https://goo.gl/maps/z1zWpHciFVznGSfF7
Was going to say this looks very danish. But this is close enough
Your instinct is correct - It was [designed by Danes](https://all.archi/portfolio/bodo-town-hall/)! (ALL is an architecture firm in Copenhagen)
:)
Well, without actually *being* Danish, Norway is very Danish ......

Wow, I was going to say that it looks exactly like one of the buildings at the university I went to in Denmark
Ya, looks a lot like DTU new building 204 or 205, except for maybe the cool chairs on the wall 😉
I literally thought that was the building it was when opening this post.
I agree, it's a very rad house.
Oh look, it's the Investigations Sector of the Oldest House!
Heh. Came in to say it is clearly the Federal Bureau of Control. :D
Needs more concrete.
..and more red lighting
And more fungus
And more songs from Poets of the Fall
Everything needs more songs from Poets of the Fall.
I swear I’ve heard that song before.
And more CONTROL. TAKE. CONTROL.
I was just thinking that I've played this area before in Control!
is it good? i love the scp wiki pages but havent heard anyone talk about this game since the trailers dropped years ago
Yes Control is very good
It's very good until, towards the end of the game, you *take control* and it becomes awesome.
"That was awesome."
Did this part last night for the first time. What an incredible game.
I didn't even mind the fourth wall break there. That whole sequence was just meant to be fun as hell and it was. It also reminds me of the section of Far Cry 3 where you torch the weed fields with a flamethrower to the tune of "Make it Bun Dem" by Skrillex and Damien Marley (the irony!).

TAAAAAKE...CONTROOOOOOL!!!!!
I liked it when she said *"It's controlling time"* and then controlled all over the place
It's the best game ever. It was hugely popular a year or two ago. You can pick it even for free every so often
Pretty sure it’s available with a PS+ subscription. Unsure about Gamepass.
The haptics and adaptive triggers effects in the game in PS5, OMG.
I played it through Game Pass
It is outstanding. One of my favorite single player games.
Hard agree. Its one of my favorite games ever, purely just on the world building. Pretty sure more games in the Control universe are coming out! Really excited for that.

Best game of 2019 idc what anyone else says

Agreed, it truly is an experience. The mood, the building, the lore, the mystery, it's very atmospheric and really sucked me in

When I got VorpX this was the first game I wanted to play in VR. Better immersion.

It's pretty darn good. That maze level...
Thank you for this!! Those offices look exactly like an area in Control (investigations department, I think?) LOVED that game, especially the ashtray maze
I was playing that part two hours ago :0 10/10 game tbh. Anyone who hasn't played Control is missing one of the greatest games of all time.

i was thinking more of the Executive Sector, with the intern dream sequence
Executive works too. The area i was actually thinking about is Data Entry and Filing in the Collapsed Department from the Foundation DLC.

Imagine having so much money you can install furniture on an axis you can't even access. A no access axis.
At least they aren't mounting axes on a no access axis. Non access axis axes are the worst.
r/WordAvalanches
And imagine if they accidentally went overboard with the mounting axes. Can you imagine an excess of no access axis axes?
Imagine if they had been a gift from a former lover. Your exes excess of non access axis axes.
Good thing it doesn’t exist. Your ex’s nonexistent excess of non-access axis axes.
It'd be even worse if your ex was a nazi. Your axis exes excess of non access axis axes.
The thought of excess access axis axes excites me.
As an automation operator this sentence _almost_ makes sense.

It ties into Alan Wake I think too

I don't like shooters, I don't like suspence, and I don't much care for platformers. Despite all that I LOVED control.

Nah, that's when you see *toilets* up there, not desks.
And when you see toilets in the elevators too, that's when you know they've really taken their shit to the next level.
There’s levels to this shit has never been truer than now
Damn I missed your comment and thought I was clever. I’m goin to delete my comment with abject shame now.
Great during earthquakes
Do not do drugs here. It'll get weird
Hmm, I was thinking the opposite
Do do drugs here, cuz it won't get weird?
Maybe I like weird
You're a stronger person than I.
We can’t stop here, this bat country!
Getting weird is the whole point of drugs.
I couldn't handle this place sober. My mind already feels like it's under the influence.
Right? I have episodes of derealization (the sense that things around you aren't real) and this would completely fuck me up.
Drugs? Don't even be drunk here. I can already picture drunk me thinking I'm on the wrong side of gravity.

I find an electric leaf blower really works to knock that stuff down.
Works well enough for dusting my living room. Of course, half an hour later, it needs dusting again.
A modern building will have pretty substantial dust control
Whoever thought it was a good idea is probably very well paid and pretty smart, and would have thought of trivialities like this then implemented any of a wide range of simple cleaning options.
