      It's okay, not as good as the first but it has its merits. The overall world is smaller and there's more land-based action, but the biomes are really fun to explore and build in. The biggest problem is it has three storylines going at the same time and only two of them get satisfactory endings, which was a result of the devs completely rewriting the story four or five times during development.

        This seems accurate from what I've read but its on my list. I do wish they could update it to provide a more satisfactory ending in all story threads, as was done with original Subnautica.

      Even the devs admitted that the scale is wonky but making the game bigger would have forced them to go with procedural generation for the world and they didn't want to go that route. Hence the decision to set the game on a relatively shallow oceanic plateau

      They give an actual in-game explanation for the lack of weapons in the replicator though.

      You might hate it but you wouldn't feel as helpless without guns and the entire game would be trivialized or even broken with them.

      You would just need to redesign enemies to be more dangerous since the player now has the means to actually defend themselves.
      Right now enemies are designed with the player not having guns in mind, which ironically makes them non-threatening as a consequence, since you need to be able to evade them without the ability to kill or wound them, and they have to be easy to evade so that any encounter with a hostile creature isn't guaranteed death due to the fact that the player can't defend themselves.

              Seems more like you do because you're a politics goblin, but you do you, man.

              The in-game explanation is flimsy and moronic, which is strange claiming [DATA CORRUPTION] as the reason is easier and more believable. But no, they had to shoehorn in a "guns r bad mkay" talking point instead.

              I don't think it's flimsy, the logic makes sense for the same reason you can't carry knives onto planes since 9/11.

                The account was not owned by his employer. It makes no difference where he said it off the clock. This is in zero ways different than simply saying "he shouldn't have had the wrong opinion" but crafted in a pilpul manner to seem like a reasonable stance involving a social media account.

        The in-game explanation is flimsy and moronic, which is strange claiming [DATA CORRUPTION] as the reason is easier and more believable. But no, they had to shoehorn in a "guns r bad mkay" talking point instead.

            The restrictions on the fabricator were removed specifically due to the emergency situation the player was in. Or do you honestly believe Alterra lets any employee 3D print an entire Prawn suit for themselves whenever they want?

          It's actually spot on given the way they portray Alterra. They lock advanced weapons out without authorization as a liability protection. This company fricking billed you for all the shit you used and constructed on the planet just to survive. They don't give a shit about human life, they had a single incident that probably cost them a ton in lawsuits and then just made a sweeping un-nuanced decision that effected everyone in their orbit.

    Pic related is another great undersea exploration title. Not as expansive as something like Subnautica, but you go diving during the day to hunt for fish with your spear gun and the like (and other stuff, like possible discovering mermaid cities, artifacts etc) , and then come back to manage a sushi bar at night, pouring tea for patrons, planning the menu with what fish you have available, serving patrons promptly etc. Its quite well done even in EA and will be getting its 1.0 release next week I think.

        Oh no, there's actual gameplay! After you finished your morning and afternoon dives, you go to the bar in the evening. There's management stuff to do like picking recipes and the decor of the place based on price and how many you have. You also don't want to prepare too many fish for the customers because anything you put out gets tossed at the end of the night if not sold, so it takes some planning. During the time when there are patrons ,its not just a menu - you have to walk to the patrons, take their orders to the chef, if they want tea (they have bubbles over their head telling you what they want, if they're waiting etc) there's a little mini game where you basically have to pour it perfectly and not slosh it over the place; you get less tips if you screw it up but its nto hard when you get the hang of it. Then when the chef calls order up you need to get it to the patron fast for maximum benefit, as thre is both money and sort of yelp ratings of sorts that will lead to progression and the bar doing better and better, which you can reinvest in both the bar itself and diving gear. There are also "special" event patrons too who want something off menu, complex, or who become recruitable in some way if you do things right.

            Yes yes, we know you're very salty about someone discussing an undersea exploration game in an undersea exploration thread, it must be a shill for an EA game that is overwhelmingly positive with nearly 11K+ lifetime ratings and hundreds recently.

            I'll try it, seems kinda neat tbh

            Hope you enjoy it, Anon! It its. Only downside is that at least so far its not sold on 3rd party "legit" keysites, but it has gone on 20% discount on Steam direct before (I picked it up back in March when it was on sale) Not sure if they'll be doing any sort of sale when the game launches 1.0 but its definitely worth it if you enjoy both types of gameplay and the premise. Plus you get to play a fat white guy with a hat (when not diving) so that's fun.

    I think the early and middle game of Subnautica are pretty great and atmospheric but some aspects are annoying.

    >Player gets hungry and thirsty exceptionally fast
    This eventually gets easy to handle because you have automated sources of food and water, but it's annoying for a while until you get a system in place. He has a stomach parasite or something.
    >Really bad pop-in, not what you want with fricking reapers around the place
    >Random fricking bugs like walking on the sea floor with land physics, clipping out of your seamoth, random fricking assets or water just fill your base on load in when installed on an SSD, or just general jankiness when trying to do basic things
    >Late game is busywork and farming materials, feels like a lot of chores to get to the finale of the game

    If you take the time to explore each of the regions in Subnautica, it serves its job as an ocean exploration game really well. You find upgrades over time, you get better shit, you basically get the materials and research to make your own home or even multiple homes. It's really cool in that aspect. The threats in the game can be avoided entirely or you can kill them with a hot butter knife if you REALLY fricking hate them that much. Eventually you get an underwater mech suit and that thing is kinda fun to break the game with.

    I'd also like to point out that this is personally the best horror game I've played. I had extreme anxiety during multiple parts.

      The bugs were my biggest gripe with this game. I had to restart it like 2 times when I was far into the game.
      Once the game auto saved while I clipped out of the aurora and I started sinking into the ocean floor.
      Another the game locked while traversing those portals near the end of the game, just stood there in the portal animation forever.
      Also I lost two of my seamoths after parking in one of the islands, they clipped into the sand and couldn't get them out

    By the way, I think it's weird that you need upgrades for your vehicles to withstand pressure deeper environments, but you can get out of your vehicle just fine and swim around and your health doesn't suffer at all no matter the depth, especially when you need to keep your thirst and hunger meters in mind. Maybe a suit for that would have helped. Or the ancient civilization gives you something to survive the deep places.

      Making it impossible to do anything below a certain depth without a vehicle or vessel would have been incredibly stupid and frustrating. The same reason why when you go into the underground biomes there's enough light to see everything, sometimes realism has to be thrown out for better gameplay and less frustration.

                yeah i did put a little outpost there. that was my favorite part of the game was finding the perfect little spot to put a base with a window so i can sit back and watch the sea treaders migrate, or stalkers playing with the scrap

                i just wished there been any good reason to. even a good farming spot doesnt really necessitate more than a tiny base with a scanner room, map is small so travel time is short, may as well just have one base

                it was like the game was right on the cusp of being awesome with the cyclops having to ferry stuff between your bases and being useful for once, but it fell short and then they self imploded with the dlc

                Oh and that mountain area is bullshit. Super concentrated reaper area with no special reason to visit. Or maybe that's the dunes...

                both i think? i steered clear of them. i guess there's a few tech pieces in there but i didnt need the headache

                That's a cool idea with the outpost. I only ever made one shallow base and one deep base using the Cyclops to traverse. I just really like the Cyclops.
                You're 100% correct about the dlc which is garbage. Who the duck asked for land vehicles in a sea exploration game? Also frick sea monkeys and the talkative protag.

                I found the final part of the story - in fact the final part of the whole game - a massive let-down. I was on board with most of it, there are some moments I found genuinely really cool, but the telepathic mommy monster having a magical slime that just solves everything - that was a bad call. It's so lazy.
                Just like the whole process of creating those hatching enzymes was a joke, a terrible way to create essentially ultimate or penultimate challenge.

                It feels like the studio was just doing whatever to wrap everything up. I can't blame them, I was there for the whole development and it was a long mess, so I can see them phoning in the end as understandable, but... it's still a bad way to conclude the story.

                There should have been a map you can look onto. You can 3d print all these futuristic stuff from raw materials but no fricking map anywhere?(It should work like minecraft where it gets filled up progressively)
                If you find something interesting like the entrance to the caves that go down to the vulcanic area good luck finding it again unless you have a beacon on hand(unless you have the big sub with storage space you aren't going to waste any inventory space for a beacon since you have so little inventory space)

                That is a terrible idea that would just make the game worse. Learning how to navigate the world is part of what makes the game fun. A map just completely removes the actual exploration element.

                Oh and that mountain area is bullshit. Super concentrated reaper area with no special reason to visit. Or maybe that's the dunes...

    If you've made it this far through the two autists arguing about nothing:
    >What's your favorite biome in Sub?
    >Any good stories from playing the game?

    It's fun but it becomes boring when you realize there is very little danger. Even the little dangerous fauna there is is extremely dumb and/or trivial to avoid.

    the Subnautica gun comments are weird, since the game has multiple guns in

    There should have been a map you can look onto. You can 3d print all these futuristic stuff from raw materials but no fricking map anywhere?(It should work like minecraft where it gets filled up progressively)

    I think there isn't another game with this sense of scale. Maybe Outer Wilds comes close(especially the water planet) but I think you just can't capture the same feeling of vastness and giant aquatic monsters in space, the water adds a natural limit of viewing distance especially deep down where it is pitch black so you don't know what will await you besides how far the lights on your vessel can shine.
