And getting eaten by scary sea monsters. Note to self: Seamoth does not prevent being ingested by scary sea monsters.

Getting eaten by an eldritch space monster as you explore some remote Saturnic moon asteroid ring. That setting would really make me come around to the cyclops as a vehicle

Outer Wilds is great, but it's an incredibly stressful game compared to the casual nature of Subnautica.

Outer Wilds is gorgeous, really a lovely lovely game. I also hate playing it sometimes, it's incredibly stressful at times- I simply can't manage some of the platforming sections, they make me so anxious I feel like I'm playing a horror game. I might never finish the game because of the platforming area over the black hole and it's a real shame.

It's a different genre almost entirely, but Sea of Thieves scratches the "I would love to have co-pilots on the Cyclops" itch amazingly well. Even on the sloop, having help is wonderful. Despite being set almost exclusively on the high seas, there isn't a whole lot to do underwater, but wow does it make me wish for a multiplayer Subnautica 3.

By the end of the game I was pretty good at flying my ship around inside Brittle Hollow and just wedging it in near where I needed to go, you can skip most of the platforming like that.

Some locations, yeah. Others maybe less so than you'd think. But you don't need to do any crazy trick jumping around the black hole itself, I don't think - it shouldn't be necessary to, like, slingshot yourself around the hole like you're in Interstellar and land somewhere. In general in Outer Wilds if something seems really technically demanding it means you don't actually need to do it, there's a simpler solution you're missing. This is a major spoiler so maybe don't click it unless you're really stuck one of the key locations on Brittle Hollow can only be accessed AFTER it falls into the black hole Anyway maybe I'm being too solicitous here, I just really love that game.

I need to reinstall it and try again, I just got really frustrated with that sequence (and a few others). Was expecting a much more chill experience going into it, and the first couple of hours delivered but I found myself pushing up against gameplay I didn't enjoy very much.

I don’t think I will ever replay Outer Wilds. It’s a great game, has interesting mechanics and a good story, but even having completed it, it was just a super stressful experience.

It's one of those games most people won't replay. There's very little point to replaying because of the nature of the game, except for going for stunts.

I bounced off it my first time with the same issues. The time limits, the puzzle nature of things, the general feeling of being lost. I gave it some time and came back and found myself completely in love with it, despite some frustrations. I found a "Spoiler-Free" guide on Steam that really help direct me in a few places. It really cut down on some of the more tedious aspects of the game, without giving away the wonders of the game. I honestly wonder if I would of enjoyed the game as much as I did without that guide though. Sometimes a bit of hand-holding can go a long way. I would recommend it if you really found yourself stuck. Great ending though, 10/10. Very much worth the journey.

Well, I found out the hard way that if you build too much too quickly, your poo poo will break and flood. Guess I need to pay attention more to the hull integrity messages when fabricating.

I really don't feel the same way, I love SN and played it twice to the end, but once you learn a few tricks it's really trivial to avoid all the predators. The cyclops (in my second run) might as well have been a godmode, nothing even aggroed it.

I think you only need to deal with one aggressive leviathan, right? My last couple of playthroughs I have only had an up-close encounter with three of them: one behind the aurora for the sweet early game scans, the almost-passive one hanging out in the lost river, and my neighbor the dragon.

The only leviathan that even looked at me funny in my second playthrough (when I knew where to go) was the dragon because I forgot how big a range he has. Love love the game, but it has more in common with something like Amnesia, which manages to create a great mood without ever putting you in too much danger. Big bark, small bite. Vibes more than actual menace. EDIT: The exception being when a bug moves your seamoth underground or something, but I don't feel like that counts.

I feel like this needs to be posted here. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1338840/Death_in_the_Water_2/ Basically it's an underwater FPS about killing dangerous ocean critters. An anti-Subnautica.

It has excellent underwater graphics, sound and a story that really reminds me of Subnautica. Ultimately it's a wave shooter but it's really pretty fun and has me wishing I could build a base and turrets. Nukelear v.2 fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Jan 31, 2023 |

Recently I've had reapers that really go all out to try and kill me - i had one that just kept pushing my Cyclops even after I turned power off and got out of the driver's seat until I was very nearly off the map. Ended up jumping out in my prawn soot and beating it to death but I really tried to avoid violence.

Bad Munki posted:Silent running gets you most of the way there, too. My last SN playthrough I decided to not even bother trying to hide and instead went full power past the leviathans and it worked out pretty well, but normally if I'm playing sneaky I'll get tagged once or twice by the one near the tree and can generally avoid the others. BZ on the other hand, my Seatruck might as well have been named "Chew Toy" for how many times they aggroed on me, and unlike the Seamoth it doesn't really have the ability to dodge an attack.

In BZ you get the shocker attachment for free when you follow the storyline though. All you ever need.

Playing subnautica again after a few years. I am in the endgame, but I think I just need to retreat from the lava zone to find the thermal generator and sonar upgrades.
