Thoughts on Endless Ocean for the Wii?

This game was great
I'm playing this right now. Just got past the Amazon. I have a huge collection of horror games which I'm pretty jaded about but I'm terrified of open ocean and dark water and sharks. This sort of thing is the only game that can give me a raw primal terror response. Night diving when the great white shows up is my apex of terror but just being in the Antarctic, looking down and seeing blackness makes me tremble or even just reading the name "Deep Hole." I've filled out the whole map of the first stage except there's one corner where there's a cliff and I can't see the bottom so I absolutely refuse to go over there
OP here, I know exactly how you feel. Do you like the game so far though? It always makes me happy to hear someone is playing it for the first time. It’s honestly probably my favorite Wii games. The 2nd one that you are playing is very good, probably the better of the two games but the first one has a much scarier Abyss than the 2nd one and I recommend checking it out as well.
Fun af. Enjoy user!

It is fun. I have a love hate relationship with the ocean and the game ends up being equal parts wonderful and petrifying. I've never really played anything like it which is funny because exploring is basically my favorite aspect of any videogame. So it's looking like I'm going to have to go to the abyssal zone probably for the end. Please tell me you do it from the confines of a submersible, right? They won't find a way to make it possible to just deep sea dive with goblin sharks or something, right?
A sequel would actually make VR worth getting.
I forget how it is justified in-game, but you are going down in just your diving suit. Good luck
>just pull 'goblin shark' out of the air as example
>image search 'goblin shark' just for fun
>get Endless Ocean screen cap
no
Loved it.
Nope you go down in your diving suit just like normal. Hope you like giant squids!

Glad to see more people love this game. It's definitely one of the hidden gems of the Wii era. I really want and EO3 someday, but it's wishful thinking at this point. That said, has anyone tried out Beyond Blue? It came out this past June and it seems like it's a spiritual successor, to say the least.
GFD...
Any Nessie type creatures in this game?
>below zero still in EA
It's one of the few Nintendo IP's that has never been acknowledged in Smash.
>air hose inserted into ass
it's gotta be one of Zig Forums's favorite games
Is Subnautica something that'd fill the hole this game left?
Try this.
these games and space sims are scarier than any horror game
Yes(don’t click this if you’re the dude playing through it for the first time and don’t wanna be spoiled)
I loved Endless Ocean and honestly Subnautica just didn’t do anything for me. I prefer the more realistic art style that EO has over the alien Pixar looking stuff in Subnautica
I’ve played the DS version of this when I was like 8 and it was awful lmao
In Endless Ocean: Blue World, they have a list of "mystical" creatures that you can find throughout the game. I think some of them are based on real life myths, while others were tailored just for the game.
This fucking monster was the worst
I know exactly how you feel. I genuinely get chills just swimming downwards to reach the iceberg cave in antarctica.
:^)

Diver here. Can confirm swimming near a huge drop off (ocean cliff) is the stuff of nightmares even in daylight. It is 100% exposed and unending.
Just stay with the corals and clownfish pals and forget you’re surrounded by endless terror
What’s the coolest or scariest thing you’ve ever seen while diving?
>Arika is too busy making battle royale games for Nintendo to make a third one
Cthulhu?
Oncein Florida I was in a super murky area trying to get back to my boat; it was super green/brown and cloudy- and in the distance I seen a huge fast swimming animal. To this day I’m not sure if it was a manatee or dolphin from the way it was swimming (lol). But I hate seeing the dark silhouettes so much. Really felt trapped at that time.
Another time I was going off a dock at night to find giant octopus with a flashlight and I almost happened upon a huge brown jellyfish of some kind with thousands of spaghetti looking tendrils. Decided to stay away from the water that night.
In the water I’ve clearly seen some manta rays, but once you get used to how peaceful they are it’s not so scary; they’re just really big.
I seen a bull shark once too but he was far below me. Eels can be pretty spooky if you’re not expecting them.
I don’t have too many spooky stories, but those are the closest
