I was lied to. This is actually kino
Subnautica
you weren't, you chose to listen merely to the lies instead of the truth.
It's rough around the edges, but the game is brilliant.
Could be goty if it wasn't so short and the world wasn't so small. Still a great premise and execution.
I just wish the leviathans weren't so goofy looking. The game needed more nightmare fuel monsters
I liked it better when the cyclops was immune to wildlife. Having a comfy mobile safe spot was nice, and you still had to get out to progress or do anything meaningful.
It would need some glitch fixes and more fauna behavior but else it is great.
dios mio...

By who? Did you only listen to Zig Forums shitposting about it because the MC's an ugly goblin? It's one of the best underwater games I've played.
Are there other underwater games?
Santa Maria, madre de cristo...
No...
I thought only the Dragon, Reaper and Ghost can damage it. CrabSquids can shut it down but their strikes don't do anything to it unless I'm mistaken.
I haven’t played it in a long time, that could be the case. Either way it’s a fun game
Yeah, but they're not in the same vein as Subnautica. Some are horror games, e.g. Soma, some are action games, e.g. Ace of Seafood. Subnautica's the only survival one I've seen.
My actual favorite is the Ecco series.
This game could have been a diamond with mods.
Crabsquids actually CAN damage it, along with Ampeels, but they do very little damage and need to hit it several times to inflict hull damage beyond the little "shield" (i.e. the top quarter of the hull's health bar) that regenerates with minor damage.
But they've added mod support and there are a lot of mods.
So the Ampeel was left out when they changed it so Midsize Predators can no longer actually damage it? That's dumb.
Yea there are some bad things about it, but overall game is fantastic. Shame new one is going towards being totall garbage with them focussing on retarded story instead of just survival and exploration.
The Ampeel is considered a predator of the same size as Crabsquids (i.e. Large) so it's not in the same category as Stalkers.
Ampeels also have 3000 HP, as much as a Sea Treader Leviathan. Crabsquids have 500 for comparison's sake, which is just under the Prawn's 600 HP.
great game, but the areas where there is nothing but death (aka reaper) are so fucking useless holy shit
It's actually too resilient imo, I wish it took more damage. If you manage the distance and propulsion nothing attacks you to begin with.
Reapers are great, but yes, ghost and dragon leviathans are goofy. The sea dragon is especially ridiculous.
Btw, no actual abyss in the game, what a disappointment. I was so hyped during the whole adventure, expecting to finally go down to several thousand meters deep into some type of abyssal biomes, and trying to hide from gigantic monsters.
Has someone made an abyss mod yet?
Anyone tried coop mode already? How many players does it support?
Reapers are the goofiest looking ones with those dumb cartoony grimaces and angry expressions, at least the Ghosts have less cartoonish faces despite the silly screaming thing they do.
That just goes to show how non-threatening things are in this game because the only thing I know landed an actually hit was the Ghost Leviathan on the way down to the lava zone. The Warpers glitching their way into shit was a greater threat.
One of my favorite games hands down. The reaper Leviathans still give me anxiety like no one's business and I've beaten the game several times. The only thing I hated was being unable to get certain blueprints that were "needed" to be able to get materials easily. Having to find certain wrecks all around the word specifically for one or 2 blueprints pissed me off to no end. I.e. the FUCKING PRAWN SUIT MINING ARM. Also I wish there were even larger creatures than the Sea Dragon. That or an abyssal area with full grown Ghost Leviathans as opposed to the juniors you encounter. Most times I use console commands to give me all blueprints but I don't like ruining the game
Was I retarded when playing this, or was the mid-late game grind unbearable? it took so much effort just to ensure you were stocked in resources and power cells, as well as transfering everything to your mobile base. Constructing mini-bases around the map took fucking ages. There came a time where I just enabled console resources so I could explore without abandon near the end. I must have saved at least 20 hours of pointless grinding that way.
All I know, is that after the devs fired one of their own because of SJWs complains, I decided to never pay for a game of their again lols.
But yeah, the game isnt bad.
Ampeels aren't even meant to really be much of a threat, they're barely aggressive at all and only aggro when you're really close to them. Crabsquids, Bonesharks, Ghost Leviathans, and Reapers are the most aggressive in the game, barring Warpers which are sequential in aggression depending on story progress.
tried it, didn't work, looks cool tho
