i used to share your overall sentiment but now the only nintendo water that makes me feel uncomfortable is like the water in gta san andreas and bethesda games. the fear doesn't come from "oooooooo deep water" but "the programmers didn't plan for this and testers spent almost no time here at all, the game is gonna poo poo itself in a really scary ram injection sort of way"
Elder Scrolls have spells that let you breathe underwater, and an entire race whose gimmick is that they can breathe underwater. Meanwhile there is nothing interesting to do in the water.

For this reason I do not fear the water. Rather I find it boring, like most things that are outdoors.

There's this new game out on steam called Depth where one team is divers and the other is sharks and I could never play it because getting attacked by a real or virtual shark does nto sound fun but really scary.

i'm glad the phrase "gently caress the ocean' completed its transformation from meme to derisive meme to complete non-presence, the ocean is mysterious & wonderful and we need more games that take place in it

i thought that the water in torvus bog in metroid prime 2 was scary, because the view distance in it is such poo poo. hydrodynamo station with those giant aggressive blogg things is the worst.

the lower brinstar music remix owns though.
