Thank you for the LP! While Subnautica is definitely not my kind of game (I don't like having to run around gathering resources and building stuff), I enjoyed witnessing it

Great LP. Leviathans aside the whole thing was actually far less hostile than I expected for a survival game. I guess one last question is are time capsules a one time thing only or can the same one be found multiple times? Though I guess that would be incredibly hard to check.Cooked Auto posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVDaIDY7upM Dreadwroth2 posted:So like Endless Ocean? Huh. Seems very much like it, yeah.

Well, turns out there actually is a real Cyclops sub. Even if it is considerably smaller, you can see the resemblance.

Great LP DN. Subnautica grabbed me like few other games and watching your LP helped remind me why I loved it so much. Gorgeous game, an actual plot, the crafting and harvesting is fun. And the terror of the bottomless ocean and what is lurking below is an extra cherry on top.  I cannot wait for Below Zero to come out. I played a bit before they rewrote everything and it was a ton of fun to have a new ocean to discover. (RIP the Seamoth and Cyclops though  )

Thanks for making the LP, it was very entertaining, chilling out in Thalassophobia Ocean is always a good time, and I finally got to see the back half of this great game.

I assume the video on how Subnautica cultivates a sense of terror has been posted? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz80210ipGc cw: jumpscare at the very end I've only died to a reaper once, when deliberately chasing it for a scan and whiffing a stasis rifle shot, and yet - and yet - that loving roar is enough to make me turn 180 degrees, because it tells me "Here be jumpscares". It's really, really effective psychological conditioning, and it hinges on the game pulling most of its punches. You have to try pretty hard to die to anything in Subnautica, and thus, you are mostly hurt, and feel like you barely escaped alive.

From a sound design perspective, the Reaper's roar is a very well-designed sound specifically intended to trigger a flight response in the player. I've noticed some fun sound shenanigans in Below Zero, but we'll eventually get there. The devs seem to like pulling "red herring" sounds from mostly harmless fish like the Stalker, they sound way scarier than they are so you get all used to that, then they ratchet it up when you go to the Aurora and encounter the Shouty Boi.

I heard the sounds for many of the bigger Leviathans are spliced together from real life predators, including Elephants, Bulls and lions, as well as some human screams? e.g. a big amalgamation of "stuff we have evolved to run the gently caress away from" Below Zero... I want to like it, but so far it does not really distinguish itself from Subnautica 1.0. It should have been a DLC? Then again, it's hard to follow up such a well made game, so maybe the narrative - once in place - will be the crux.

Dreadwroth2 posted:It's not done enough to really judge it yet, but the story is a lot different like you don't build a base and instead operate out of the seatruck as far as I know so it's probably going to be a lot more plot-heavy. You can take my obsessive base building out of my cold dead hands. Every base fully autonomous with water and food.

Yeah a big gripe about the Cyclops is that its really cool, and I fought hard to maneuver it into the caverns and park it outside the Containment Facility, but watching OP blaze through them in the Prawn made me rethink my decision.

I think the devs are having issues with making the Seatruck work properly.

Some of the best fun you can have with a prawn is putting two grapples on it and then go swinging around the caverns like Spider-Man! I highly recommend trying it out if you haven't.
