r/Pragmata

I love those moments so much

I was hoping to see an Easter-egg like this XD

That would be super cool and extremely cute if happened-i guess this will be in my imagination only

This is what i wanted from a singleplayer game. Its was amazing

The secret ending felt kind of anticlimactic on a surface level. Hugh avoided death, returning to the shelter, but the Black Box only delays the inevitable. So, it's just a treatment, not a cure, right? I think the developers left a very subtle clue about his fate in the Unknown Signal: A reference to the Ship of Theseus in one of the logs.

For those who don't know, it's a thought experiment in which a ship is repaired so many times, that not a single piece of the orginal ship remains. So, is it the same ship, or a new one?

In the same vein, I believe Hugh takes a shot at an experimental procedure: replace the pieces of his slowly dying body as they are corrupted with Lunafilament, purifying the new tissue that is now synthetic. It would require a full replacement of every organic cell with artificial cells, but at a slow enough rate that Hugh never dies. However, we're left with the same question: Is this Pragmata built off a human body, but entirely replacing the orginal self, still Hugh?

A Pragmata sequel with Metroid Prime-esque exploration and puzzle solving.

Hello everyone,

I am a third-year Sociology student currently working on my graduation thesis. My research focuses on Game Studies, specifically on the “daddification” of video games. Since Pragmata is one of the newest productions fitting this theme, it will serve as the main case study for my paper.

As part of my research, I am conducting interviews and I am currently looking for participants willing to take part.

Requirements for participation:

* at least 18 years old,
* currently playing Pragmata or having completed the game,
* English at a communicative level,
* gender does not matter.

If you are interested, please contact me on Discord: weebster

You can find me on Instagram and Patreon on this same handle! Hope you like my work!

I bought this game on Friday evening and booted it up for the first time on Saturday morning, as we had no plans this weekend, which never happens. Played it most of the day on Saturday and quite a bit Sunday, finally wrapping it up this evening.

My 3 year old girl LOVED sitting with me while I played. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, like Diana, and constantly said “That’s us!” While we were playing. Constantly saying the ‘Astronaut’ was me and that Diana was her. Every time I visited the Shelter, she asked me to play hide and seek (and of course I obliged). When I got off work today and yesterday, she kept asking me to play ‘the astronaut game’.

She’s a cutie, and I really liked drawing the comparison between her and I, and Diana and Hugh. She’s a daddy’s girl for sure, and this game allowed us to share some fun together. Much love yall!

No idea how I missed this one, but I did. I assumed first since it's placement, but it wasn't there. I cannot for the life of me find anywhere showing what each location Cabin actually looks like either. So any help would be great.

Thanks.

THEORY: What if in the sequel, we play as >!some solider or salvage worker who stumbles upon the Shelter and finds Hugh barely alive,!< and the beginning of the game is rescuing him, before we shift back to Hugh as a playable character after some kind of Timeskip? OR, that same character finds Diana on earth, and the whole sequel is about getting back to the moon?

Just a shower thought I felt like asking the community. If you guys hav​e better ideas, i would LOVE to hear what you think should happen.​

I have been here for about 3 hours trying to do number #30. I just can’t crown it in the slightest, I am always too slow.

Blah blah skill issue yeah I know, I just cannot do this no matter how hard I try. I hate the beginning bit as it’s so inconsistent as to whether the walkers even get hit by the bombs, I hate that you don’t get enough thruster to get over the gaps so you have to stand and wait for a recharge each time.

The part where you have to kill the floating drones I can get maybe 60% of the time just because my aiming skills with the charger blaster are so bad as I never used that in the main story I’ve done up to this point.

The section where you incinerate the three dudes is obviously easy as you just wait for them to walk in the path then incinerate them.

The last section I just can’t even vaguely kill everyone fast enough.

I am so over this but I’m a 100% person, I have to do this but it’s the hardest gameplay I’ve ever done in my whole life and I just can’t hack it. I don’t know what I can do better.

Tips for #29 would be great to but I have that maybe 3 feeble attempts as I tried #30 first so I just couldn’t be bothered anymore and switched the game off.

All of the training sims have been my least favourite part of this game. I’ve not finished the main story yet, but I have loved every part of this game, but there hasn’t been a part of a game I’ve ever hated more than the training sims. They are just so much harder than the main game. I’ve only died once in the main game. I think 70% of my play time has been on this goddamn training sims that are needlessly difficult and so frustrating, but it would be even more frustrating to me to just not complete them.

I have rage quit the game for now. I just can’t do them anymore. I’m just not good enough at the game lol. I would really appreciate some tips.

So I'm writing a fanfic about Pragmata set immediately after Diana says "I'm ready" I don't have the plot completely figured out, but I know that it's going to be about Diana coming to terms with Hugh's death, and how Diana affected us, the real life comunity, via an adoptive family. I currently have it written in a way that makes it seem that Diana doesn't understand death, but I just remembered that she talked with Hugh about his crewmates, she saw Dr. Higgins die, and she seemed to understand that Hugh would not recover from the dead filament. Am I still good to assume that she doesn't understand death, or should I simply make her be in denial about Hugh's death specifically?

Here's an excerpt from what I have written so far:

I sat down again. The grass felt smoother than the sand, it wasn’t as scratchy, and it didn’t get stuck on my jacket. I wondered if this is what Hugh felt like, when he lost his friends. He must have been even sadder, because he knew them longer, and he lost three people, I only lost one. But also he acted like they were never coming back, even though they were stuck on the same planet as him. It was kind of confusing.

“What am I doing!” I thought to myself. “I can’t be sad until Hugh gets back here, I have to do something while I wait for him to get back!” I thought for a little bit more, “I know! I’ll find his house, and get it ready for him! He will be so surprised!”

Bruh why even in the secret ending they don't get to go home together, the way Hugh just gives up his battery so she makes it had me bawling (twice since I went to get the other ending)

Might I also add the game is gorgeous, not only the environment but the characters themselves. The enemies were unique enough to not feel repetitive or boring for me, every new area had like a new enemy of sorts with their own gimmick which it made it fun.

I did not like some of the Sim missions in the shelter especially the last 6. Overall a very fun and challenging game, kept me engage not once did I feel bored and had to 100% it

But seriously, what a great game Capcom sure is on a roll the conversations felt so organic and alive funny enough Hugh is like the dad that didn't want a cat but ends being the one spoiling said pet cat( since Diana likes cats). In the end he did what any Dad would do, give their all for their daughter, even if it mean sacrificing himself.

They really grew on me, You can really see Hugh warming up to straight up becoming not only a friend to Diana but a family/father figure as well.

Hoping the DLC or sequel we get to see Hugh make it home and reunite with Diana.

I love the concept and Diana but i played for 6 hours and so far theres only 2 characters and a talking cat. I dont think Idus even classifies as a character. Gameplay is fun but kinda draining for me. I was hoping i would like it more honestly

The memories flashing on the screens of her and Hugh. Damn it. I can feel the heartbreak coming.

In the game, she explains that the station’s flooring charges the bots to keep them powered. However, >!how long do you think her charge lasted when she got to Earth? We see that she walked around a bit on an island, so she is definitely gonna run out eventually. !<

Do you think in a sequel, >!we will find Diana in the near future in a powered-off state? Whoever awakens her helps her get back to the moon to save Hugh? !<

Can anyone find the source?

I just finished it loved it so much, reminds me a bit of Horizon I know it's not the same type of game but it suprised me in the similar way like Horizon games
