Subnautica 2 is a big big bigly success, absolutely OBLITERATING the peak of one and Below Zero. Where did all the hype come from? This is almost Silksong tier of success but there was no buzz about it at all

>>738886434Wait for the drop in a week when all the content is exhausted.
>>738886434Half the players are third worlders and Chinese. The popularity sure as fuck isn't organic.
we already knew it was hyped and promoted - the question remains: is it any good?
>>738886434The council of chuds has deemed it non-woke after this
>>738886502There is no spam and it's relevant. There's barely any hype on /v/ as well so it feels strange.
>>738886649Because the cracked version shows up in steam charts
>>738886434Go woke, go- err... top the charts

>>738886837It's all bots
>>73888683790% are children and the remaining 10% are pedos
>>738886434Is there a submarine in this game? I remember seething about the lack of one in below zero, and i will not buy this game if there isn't one.
>>738886434I think I know but janny will ban me if I say it out loud.
>>738886434i thought the first one was trash but ok
>>738890109>game studio actually learning from their mistakesIs this legal?
>>738886758How can you be sure? Would explain a lot, good play by devs to get hype and reach some milestones.>>738887562Just finished it for the first time, quit around the time I started building a rocket first time I played. Cyclops sucks. Prawn and Seamoth are way faster and Seamoth is more agile. Prawn has the grappling hook for mobility and you can get the thermal charger for longevity, or solar for Seamoth. Honestly just give me a tidepod where the wings/fins turn into a drill and rocket arm/grappling hook, a portable fabricator (the freaking escape pods have one!) and I'm sorted. You can get miles around with just some snacks and water.
>>738886434Is there an ice biome like in below zero? For all it's faults, I did enjoy the icy comfiness of below zero's biomes.
>>738886649>Half the players are third worlders and ChineseThat's every game now.
>>738890663I just love how games aren't made for us but apparently second and third worlders won't play them either if they aren't made for us.Anyway, how long has this thing got left in the oven?
>>738890292>How can you be sure? Would explain a lot, good play by devs to get hype and reach some milestones.He's retarded and doesn't know how steam accounts for the numbers. It doesn't magically turn your shit into a legit appid nor does it allow you to leave reviews. In other words, he's a tech illiterate nigger and you almost fell for it. Also, it's #1 in practically every country's top sellers chart right now.
>>738886434>This is almost Silksong tier of success but there was no buzz about it at allSilksong released like 2 weeks after it was confirmed it even existed, meanwhile Pedomata was hyped for 6 years and didn't even beat Marathon nor Highguard
>>738891969I decided to read into it and it can apparently happen in some specific cases for no-steam cracked releases. No actual idea how Steam does collect its stats so could be complete bullshit.
>>738886434Subnautica 1 built up popularity overtime and peoppe are eager for a new one that isn't talky niggas.
I think this place seriously underestimates PC autism games, especially survival crafting games. These games are the junk food of pc gaming. Look at that new pirate game from last month. It got over 100k+ players despite nobody here making any threads. Most of the games /v/ talks about are very much niche and contrary to what many pc gamers actually play.
>>738890292Prawn + grappling hook is broken.>big ass leviathan tries to eat you>grapple him and engage the drill
>>738892741If they wanted to swat fleas they should have evolved arms with hands and thumbs. Get drilled, bitch.Prawn is basically upside down spiderman.
>>738890563no forget bout it
>>738886434>Subnautica 1 was praised and became a cult classic>The sequel/expansion, Subnautica: Below Zero, flopped hard>Audience wants a return to form>People have been longing to recapture that same underwater exploration feeling they got in Sub 1 for over a decade now>Subnautica 2 comes along promising the same atmosphere as Subnautica 1 but with new environments, creatures, updated QoL features, updated visuals, etc.>Massive success
>>738890292It's not about efficiency, it's about the feeling, i'm not a speedrunner and carrying literally everything in the Cyclops and going down all the way into the thermal zone with a mobile base was great, my singular complain about it was the fact that you couldn't put the nuclear reactor in it, i expect a submarine with a nuclear reactor this time.
>>738886434Subnautica is one of the most popular open world survival games. Also the price point is just right. I look at games like Saros and wonder how well it would've performed had it been half the price.
>>738886434Thank you for convincing me to not buy it and pirate it instead
>>738893714I'd pay full price for a "AAA" Subnautica but I wouldn't even buy Saros if it was $5
star citizen must be spinning in its grave
>>738893993They need to pay extra for spinning chairs.
>>738886434>Where did all the hype come fromit comes from the wallet of the game developers. they clearly paid a few streamers to stream it and spread the word
Original was popular+streamers since its a perfect reaction content game.
i had no idea so many people were into subnautica. i thought this was just some random indie game that people really liked like fez or rainworld
>>738894163subnautica 1 was one of the best open world crafting survival games desu.
>>738886434/v/ only talks about gachashit and triple A slop
>>738894093Who cares as long as it's good? If that's what they need to get ahead these days more power too them. If it's bad it will just lose steam quickly.
>>738894163It manages to strike the right balance in a survival crafting game while actually having an interesting environment that makes you want to explore.
>>738893467>updated visualsUE5>new environmentsHaven't played, I admit, but what I've heard was that there aren't actually any new environments and it all looks the same. 15 years just to end up at square one.>creaturesYeah there are some more>updated QoL featuresBasically just rolled mods from Sub 1 and called it Sub 2. Legitimately can't fathom (hue) how deep the corruption goes when you've got 2 companies outjewing each other and releasing a game in dev hell for 20 years just to end up releasing a slightly polished turd resembling the first game 25 years down the line.
I played for about 8 hours and haven't really done anything but fuck around and build bases. Just barely touched the geothermal vent area.The game feels like it lacks a lot of the horror elements that made the first one great... or maybe I just haven't explored the scary areas yet (or they haven't been added, lol)
>>738886502Steam chart threads should be stickied for every fotm garbage release so it can be made clear whats going on to stop the blatant shilling from lighting in a bottle return to form blast havers
>>738886502How many (You)s do you think I could get if I photoshopped a steam charts thread for Fortnite?
>>738890109'Schrodingers woke' poster was right, you guys are clowns.
>>738894093I remember the first Subnautica being free on steam for a weekend
>>738886434Free advertising from the Krafton lawsuit
>>738886837>most of roblox's growth is third worldersas expected
Am I high or something? I thought Subnautica 2 was gonna fully release this week, but it's saying early access, and the actual finished game won't be out for TWO MORE YEARS!?!?!?!??!?!I'm kind of absolutely livid. I don't want to touch an incomplete game and get left with zero closure, let alone the requirement to effectively redo the game in two years. Fuck this, I'll just buy it when it releases. Everyone is just throwing money at an incomplete game? SMFH
>Look it up>It has coopWhen did this fucking get announced what the hell
>>738895054>incomplete game and get left with zero closureIt will be finished, in two years. Calm down tranny.
>>738894662Yeah, no one is choosing the the latter two unless they absolutely have to because their friends chose the two good choices.
>>738895414>las creatura de las Alterra
>>738886434Amazing what giving non-melanin options can do to a game.
>>738886434It was hyped. Saw many discussions about it in the last week.
>>738895414This nigga lookin zesty.
>>738886434Subnautica (1, not Below Zero) has aged to the point where it's hit mythical status in gaming. It's a game anyone can enjoy as long as they're fine with getting spooked. Subnautica released 8 years ago and finally got a sequel.I'm just surprised it got 450k concurrent. I was expecting something in the realm of 80k - 120k.
>>738886434Is it woke?
>>738895175It got announced like 3 years ago and was supposed to release in EA in 2025 with a full release in 2026/7. The game was designed around having co-opThe gameplay trailer released 10 months agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oK5Nr1VtJ9Q
>>738895883My only complaint about the first was I couldn't piss myself with friends this is great
>>738886434silksong had way more players by an immense marginmore platforms too
>>738895872>You can choose to play as a white guy or a mutt>Your player character is silent>Protagonist from the first game gets to retire to a homestead >Nigress from the second game gets identified as a terrorist No real guns still, but not being able to kill the seafood makes them much more threatening.
i don't like that the hatches are just forcefields and it doesn't say welcome aboard captain. i want respect.
>>738886434another big fat L for /v/sad
>>738895767it's one of the most successful open world exploration games to ever come out, so the sequel was bound to sell just from the name.
>>738896019yeah the protagonist from the first one did retire for a bit but according to the pda he decided to explore more planets
>>738895919They're planning on adding proximity chat, by the way. I'm not sure if it's in the game yet, but the devs said they want to add it. That way when your friends get ganked by a leviathan, you can hear their screams fade out as they're dragged to their doom. I still think this kind of atmospheric horror game is best played solo for maximum spookiness, though.
>>738896124>That way when your friends get ganked by a leviathan, you can hear their screams fade out as they're dragged to their doom.Absolutely fucking glorious design choice god damn.
>>738896086IIRC, he sold the rights to his adventures to pay off his debts to Alterra and then decided to go roughing it somewhere wild, building another homestead because he got a true taste of freedom. Behavioral scientists were baffled by why someone would want to leave civilization to kick it with nature.
>>738886434> game is about exploration> find stuff, opens pda to read more> can't, oxygen is limited, so you save it for later, or drown> this shit piles on> after couple of hours, you have hundreds of pda entries> you decide to skip, because its all boring and tiresome> the gameplay
>>738896254based
>>738896124don't know why but subnautica 2 is feeling a lot more cartoony. the enemies are annoynaces (they seem to do like 2% of my healh per hit?). maybe it gets creepier but i'm around 4 hours in and i have yet to approach any area where i have second thoughts before going down. i wonder if the whole "your body is expendable" lore makes things feel less risky
>>738886434There's a huge amount of players these days that just end up watching a streamer play a game, think it's really cool but don't buy it because they've already seen it all, then hop on the bandwagon with the sequel. There's basically a massive invisible playerbase just waiting for the next game, not to mention survival crafting has only skyrocketed in popularity since the first came out.
>>738896082Its initial sales were good, but not great. Over time, though, Subnautica has managed to build up a huge cult following because it's an evergreen game. Everything about it just works. The lore, the world design, the isolation, the hands-off story, the environments, the fish... it all adds up to being a timeless classic.Not to mention its immense appeal among streamers/YouTubers/VTubers. Even in Japan the game has a huge following because the Japanese love watching anime girls lose their shit over the Leviathans. Then you've got a whole genre of videos which are basically "marine biologist REACTS to the INSANE Subnautica wildlife!!" and those do huge numbers for some reason.
>>738896070Damn, that's a bummer, I loved "Welcome aboard, captain" and all the hatches.>>738896076BETTER MEN won today....
>swimming is slow even with upgraded fins because going to fast would mean youd see all the popin and the game would run like shit>the new seaglide is slow and has sluggish acceleration going to fast would mean youd see all the popin and the game would run like shit>for some reason it has no popup map like it did in the first game>fog 50 feet infront of you obscuring literally everything, preventing the player from learning routes and instead just spams the player with beacons>giant tree is the only landmark in the game and its in the skybox so it doesnt parallax meaning its useless for real navigation>compass by default because the navigation and map layout is terrible, subnautica 1 the compass was a nice to have but never required>scanner room turned into a placeable (good change) with resource icons now baseline (bad)>but you can only select a SINGLE resource node at a time forcing you to go back and forth>the node icons disappear when you get close to them>the node icons are not location accurategetting the scanner hud upgrade felt like genuine progression because you no longer had to remember where the nodes were or drive cameras around everywhere>dynamic room size means that placeables will require a minimum size to be able to be placed down>vehicle fabricator and tadpole recharger can only be placed on the long edge of the moonpool (the game does not tell you this)the only change i cant find a downside or something that the first game did better with is the power system no longer being a max number ticking down but now a balance of supply and demandbut even then it just becomes a matter of spamming solar panels so that your base stays powered 24/7meh
>>738896780how do i get the scanner hud upgrade
>>738896070vehicles sat least still say it at least
>>738886434I want a followup on that lawsuit i want that korean cunt ceo to be ousted and unalive himself over the shame of being btfo by some indie company and having to pay them after using chat gpt to do a stupid movie skit
Sell me on this over the first
>>738897280have you played the first game? play it if you haventsubnautica 2 only has about 6-8 hours of content while the first has easily 20+ on your first playthrough
>>738886649Half of all steam accounts are chinese

>>738886434>survival slop
>>738897457planet covered in water with giant nautiloid aliens and plants the size of a family car and your argument is realism?please kill yourself immediately
>>738891969i played the cracked version (rune) and when i logged in it said i was a steam account named Rune. When i installed Online-fix, as usual when it came out launch day, i showed up as my main account on Steam.
>>738894163How are people this ignorant? Subnautica is THE indie survival game. It is next to stardew level popular. Also the genre is weirdly popular overall. Look up the sales Green Hell. That game is dogshit.
where do i find upgrade for this shit can someone help
>>738886502why do mods listen to this guy instead of banning him for spammingSearching through https://arch.b4k.dev/v/ for "ban steam charts threads" you can see the threads that have been deleted. So mods have been actually listening to this guy.
>>738896070You have to consider multiplayer. People popping in and out of closed hatches would look low budget and immersion breaking. The whole game is designed around your character being visible from 3rd person by another player and everything looking normal.
>>738897838so just sync the hatches...?
>>738895054Probably 3+ years.
Blast xisters... the only thing that's diving this time is diverse empowered women
>>738886434>all this money and funding>uses generic unmodified AI voices for shitare we mcfucking serious?
>>738896302yeah I'm almost 8 hours in and I haven't died yet despite some close callseven went into the clam and got stuck and still survived, didn't even have a health kit to use
>>738886434We are never getting a new natural selection again
>>738886434>OBLITERATING the peak of one and Below Zerothat's because it grew a fanbase with those 2 games, when the first one launched it grew over time so there is no huge peak, it also doesn't necessarily means that more people played the sequel
>>738896271There's literally a passive upgrade you can get in the first 20 minutes that stops oxygen depletion while you're still so you can read pda entries.
>>738897457You're right, why would I want to have fun in a game it has to be exactly as slow as real life. Why? I don't know, must defend shitty game.
>>738897690Believe it or not he's not the only person on the website who hates these
>>738898214yeah that clam is a meme. i was hoping it was 10-20x bigger (like a cave system) where you are narrowly avoiding the triggers, and any mistake means you're panicking and rushing to find your way out of it. i found it and it was just a matter of rushing in to get as much as i can before exiting to try again. the horror design is feeling like a huge flop
>>738894093You're retarded. Tons of games hire streamers, how come not all of them are mega hits? Because you're retarded. That's why.
>>738886434I played this game 10 years ago
>>738898572>why would I want to have fun in a gameGame about being underwater is fun to people who want to play underwater game. Go have your brand of fun somewhere else then.
bruh there's another one
>>738886502fippity boppity booAlso ban twitter screencap threads
So, is the leaked build actually different from the build that got officially released?
>>738900935hey I was coming to this exact thread to ask this exact question. I doubt anyone can answer though.I imagine there's not much overlap of people who played the leak and people who would buy it in early access.
>>738886434>the popular game is popularwoooooooooow
>>738886434>download game from cs.ru>shader compilation starts>every core at once jumps to 100%>90 - 100c on every last one>motherboard shits itself and flashes red>fans turn into a termonuclear turbine>30 seconds later shader compilation ends and it all goes back to normaldid I get a cryptominer or it's just unreal engine 5 being dogshit
kek, it's already deadwell that's expected of an EA title
>>738901027Here's the build number to go off of if nothing else. Anyone got the live version #?
>>738886649>Half the players are third worlders and ChineseJust like /v/
>>738886434Much like the first hollow knight itself, subnautica was a slow burn/long tail and is now cashing in on all that built up goodwill with the sequel.
>>738886434Non-woke games get players organically because they are good.
>>738894392>>Haven't playedOpinion discarded.
did they just take a jab at /v/?
>>738902469 how is it narcissism, its clearly a jab to someone thats for sure, would be more funny if they called it delusion
Go woke go bro-AAAAAAAACCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!

>>738901238pic related is the steam version from today
>>738902706>turn down dialogue slider and subtitles off yep its dopamine time
>>738886434I think a lot of top streamers got paid to play itcaseoh never played the first one but hes playing the new one right now and hes acting like hes been waiting for it foreverI dont know if thats a big factor in people buying it or not, just weird
>>738897679You're looking for alien tripod things scattered at the black boxes in the ruins, called resonance somethings. Unlocks an upgrade at your modification table.
>>738903916He played the first one a lot
>>738886434So how deep is Subnautica 2 ocean ? 1 is great but not THE ABYSS deep. And we dont talk about the spinoff......
>>738904159thanks i got the axom vision but how the fuck do i progress now fuck im so lost in this game im getting mad now, i activated some shit but dont know what to do next
>>738897679you need to scan two resonance blasters (brass coloured alien gun). there's two of them at the axum metal refineries.
>>738904452max depth i've seen with actual content is ~450m
>>738904494>go to the nearby control room to where you got vision and activate it>go to the other control room up top and look out the window>the fans there are damaged>go make the bioscanner upgrade at the modification table>scan the fans>enjoy a shitty fetch quest>enter the tower>the end
>>738904552........Thats disappointing..... Subnautica 1 is 1300m
>>738904587thanks, did you find it confusing as well or am i retarded
>>738904678That part was pretty straightforward but I couldn't find the stupid crystals to make the two modification upgrades, so we're both retards in different ways.
>>738904609I am pretty sure when the first game went out on EA it wasn't that much deeper either, to be fair. All things considered, I am sort of impressed that the new game is already miles ahead of what Below Zero was when it was pushed out to the public.
>>738904770took me 5 hours of doing the same shit till i found the resonator, i feel you, now im gonna do the fetch quest shit
>>738904809after beating the story shit, ill probably go to creative to build some bases
where do i find troilite
>>738904908Metal Farm, the green area at 450m~ with a leviathan above it.
>>738895414>it's Grounded all over again
>>738901180not longer than 100 years ago, literal retards like you wouldn't have lived to reach puberty. modern conveniences were a mistake.
>>738886649The fuck are you trying to imply?
>>738886434YEAH BUT WHAT DID MY FAVOURITE STREAMER ASMONGOLD SAY? DID HE LIKE IT? I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHETHER I LIKE THE GAE OR NOT ON MY OWN.
>>73890484910 titanium ingot10 strontium10 mangaloywhat the fuck, a boring ass fetch quest, feels like im playing that fucking shitty red plague mod, your character already swims like a fucking snail, god its gonna be fucking boring but alright
Wheres the fuckin battery recharger? Ive got a power cell one but ive gone through about 30 of these little fuckers for all my tools
>>738886584>a weektheres 6-8 hours of mission content in the EA
>>738886434my viral load bros..
>>738904552>450mthis is just pathetic even no man's sky has 2000m deep ocean, is it because of UE5 engine?
>>738905387its mostly because its early access i think
>>738905387>2000m deep proc gen ocean with literally nothing in itwow
i need a cyclops to actually enjoy this game and there isn't one below zero was dogshit because of that lack of cyclops
>>738886434thats all the people they paid to shill it
>>738905408are you fucking serious LMAO
would be cool if there was a cyclops and they put outlaw star-like grappler arms on it. would be super cool.
I might be retarded but how do I destroy these bloom flowers that keep closing when I approach them
>>738905712of course dumbass, it was like that in the first game too, you could barely explor 200m at the beginning
>>738905753you need to create the feedback resonator, go to the green area at about 450m and there will be a fragment of one there, and the other one should be close but not in the green area i dont remember good luck, its a upgraded version of the sonic gun
>>738905782
>>738886434Chaebol cartel botting just like china does with tencent-backed games. Safe to ignore as organic.

>>738897690it's not one guy, I post it if an anon hasn't already.steam charts are degenerate threads for people who dont even play games.you only do it because you found a new way to grasp at some kind of objectivity in what is a subjective medium.some of my favorite games no on else plays, because it doesn't matter lol.
can't wait for the mods for this so i can play as a cute anime girl from nippon (i'm 36 year old hairy fat chud)

>>738886434>Where did all the hype come from?Money. If hype feels unnatural, that's because it is, more often than not.
>>738906083hype came from us posting about it after the game was leaked it's entirely organic because the game is great and has a bright future. if you hate this game you hate games.
>/v/ will bitch and moan about any game getting success with "M-MUH CHINUH!!"What a sad pathetic board this is
>>738906134Nice try, Shekelstein, acting as if 4chan isn't bought and owned by third parties, mostly Israel. The admin and jannie IPs were leaked, we know this now. Give it up already.
>>738905387>is it because of UE5 engine?no it's because they haven't made the rest of the game yet
>>738905854>he still posts this after years of being told he's a retard>Search Termthey've even added a warning to google trends now that tells you you're a retard.
>>738905580as opposed to>450m deep handcrafted ocean with literally nothing in it

>>738906306which way white man
>>738906286You know, graphs are meaningless without notation. Your red line could be BG3 or Baldur's Gate or anything else, really.
>>738906410that's the whole point, anon has been using "Search Term" which means exactly the string "Baldur's Gate 3" whereas trends lets you select "Video Game" which means anyone trying to look up the game either spelling it wrong or using an acronym or whatever.it also means it doesn't count astronomers looking up starfields.anon has been posting this chart for years using the wrong settings, go check yourself.
Just watch out for the TOS, you basicly agree that they can sell your data, any content made for the game is owned by the company (fanart, mods), if any account information is invalid they have the right to terminate the accout, and it also just ignores the europian GDPR

>>738906781like 5 biomes or something but they all look the same
holy this shit with the cargo upgrade is SLOW as shit, didn't they learn from below zero? what the fuck, i'm only using it for the fetch quest for now, fucking hell.
why are execs still pushing for extraction shooters when it's clear (and has been for years) that crafting survival slop is the current trend that prints money?I don't understand why there is not a soulless AAA 400 million dollar live service survival crafting open world game by now. every time an indie shits one of these out they always make money.
>last 30% of the EA is just back and forth between alien ruins fetchingreally nigs
we have outer wilds at home
>>738907238anon do you not know what early access is?give it 2 years if you want a complete experience
>>738907238yeah its pretty fucking boring because your character walks too fucking slow, if only it was a bit faster...
>>738906687Think you anon, you're a lifesaver
that squid leviathan has absolutely no aura like a reaper did despite being considerably larger, huge let down
Where the fuck do I build a base by the Alien Tower? It's either right on top of the old "Alien Ruins" base, too far from currents / thermal for energy, or absolutely fucked with Needledicks, Bulletheads, or basically inviting the Leviathan to come over and camp my base.
>>738906695>screencap your "research" properly fuckerin the time it took you to write that you could have verified the information yourself instead of trusting what some anon on a forum posts.
>>738905408holy shill
weird and gay projections calling people shill for playing and enjoying this game. you're sick and there's no cure for you, luckily we can just hide your posts!
>>738907756>playing and enjoying this gameyou seem lost
>>738896432We used to have big boys like these in our rivers a 100 years ago... but no more.
>>738900315What is thatWHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
>>738904552But you're 500+ meters deep at the beginning when you're trying to launch the pod?
>>738907325it just looks too much like a generic kraken monstermeanwhile reaper looks like nothing from the real world, which is what makes it iconic
>>738886649the chinese really like the ocean
so what do i do after i enable the observatory
>>738907283>subnautica 1 was completed in 4 years>these big nigs had 8+ years to put some shit out>30 dollars for a tech demo that will probably never be completed because modern devs are retarded and lazythere should be more after almost a decade, or at least a demo, like the first game had.
>>738908835>tech demoYou fucking retard. It's just a regular demo. There is no new tech being displayed. It's made using somebody else's engine. Stop using words and phrases you don't know the meaning of.
Is the world map a lot more linear? It seems like you have to path through reddithulhu's lawn
>>738898697Not hard to believe that there are plenty of retards who hate factual information.
damn i basically didnt do shit
>>738897838this would make sense if they weren't ugly mutts
>>738909004okay guess ill return to subnautica 1 and speedrun it, regarding the game, it was okay but its pretty clear it tries to be more below zero than subnautica 1, the first biome is great but as soon as you get to alien ruins you can notice how barebones the build still is it sucks ass and is prett boring there
>>738907264>Outer Wildshonestly my first reaction to that area too
Did the devs ever solve that issue with pop-in from the first game, where if you travel too quickly, you could end up having islands/geometry form around you and you could get stuck inside after they popped in? I recall quite a few vehicles moved fast enough to trigger this on console releases.
>>738908914yeah, as far as I can tell its basically a big misshapen oblong. Seeing as the tree is central to the game im guessing the main map will stretch between the tree and the lifepod/starting area>>738909204There's almost no pop-in with the fastest vehicle, although occasionally if you enter an area you'll see creatures spawn in
Why would I play this now, as opposed to 2 years from now when it's ready?Unironically,>thanks for beta testing
>>738886837>roblox doesn't make a profitLMAO AHAHAHAH>but we're just spending all our money to make moneyThey are literally #1 there is no other customers to get. THEY STILL LOSE MONEYAHAHAHAHA
>>7388864344 things to discuss/act on:1. ban chart threads2. stop releasing early access games as 1.03. how large is the chink fund marketing budget for this4. is it woke
>>738906662>I sell you a pen>anything you draw is mine nowThat's the level of retard being mentioned. Sure a mod is worthless without the game but mod fags (usually) aren't selling their mods with the game.What studios want and have done is take mods repackage and sell them and that's horseshit.
>>738886434>huge animated paid for steam bannerYeah totally organic no marketing at all.
The yapping is pretty egregious, I especially do not want to hear an indian talk for minutes
>>738909737thank you below zero
>>738886649That's literally every game that isn't a flop retard.
>>738886434If I never played either, should I start with the first game or this one?
>>738910557First game, since it's an actual finished game rather than 8 hours of early access content
I'm in the hot caves 250m down is that it
>>738910880You're like halfway done.
>>738886502ban steam charts themselves
>>738886502Agreed
>>738886502fpbp
Is drinking slugs morally justifiable?
>>738907816retard
>>738894163>>738897627great. this now means even subnautica 1 is absolute dogshit since it is so popular with normies
quick anon...! post some totally retarded bullshit NOW! .. oh wait.. you already did
>>738886434Im still not going to buy it.The first one was an absolute chore and basically required the wiki open at all times to accomplish anything beyond the early game.
>>738911179>noooo I don't want to explooore just tell me where to go oh wikimanYou're lame
>>738886502sticky steam chart threads
reminder, use turbines + power transmitter and never worry about power again:just use a nearby current and voila, lots of power, only need copper/silver/titanium for each.
>>738886434>playing early accessimagine doing this instead of just waiting for the full experience baka my head
>>738897627but green hell is good you fucker
>>738902469No, that's clearly a jab at the krafton "i'm going to suck chargpt's dick" CEO
I'm gonna be honest.. I wasn't aware that Early Access will mean that the game only has like 20% of the content, I though that it's just gonna be buggy Meh, made me quit finding out, but I was almost finished with what there is anyway
>>738911179The only times I cracked open the wiki was to find the recipe for Benzene since I apparently never grabbed a blood oil pod the final set of fetch quests for the eggs because I didn't think to scan every piece of otherwise useless plant life and I wasn't going to do a loop of the whole damn world just to find out where an eye stalk is. The game is pretty playable without the wiki, it gives you a progressively deeper set of map quest markers with the various radio distress beacons and dagasi seabases to keep you moving forward
>>738912250eh subnautica 1 was like that but impressed it took them 7 years for 20% content what the fuck, surely they are made some stuff but is just taking their sweet time to finish it, right?
>>738912413same for me, never found benzene by myself, other than that, found that all by myself, the only thing that i always had issue with subnautica 1 is that i never knew where to go to go to each biome, but its mostly because i never used a beacon
>>738886758>Because the cracked version shows up in steam chartsbig if true
>>738896271pretty sure they added a "pda pauses the game" button in the options of the first two and s2 has a breath upgrade to help with this lol
>>738900092It's faster in the first game>But it's more underwater than it used to be!Ok shill.
this doesnt look like fren
I have thalassophobia (I did ecco the dolphin back in the 90's and I still have nightmares), should I play this?
I blasted the pink cysts that close when you approach them but now I got a pair of them that are already closed and no way to open them. What should I do? I can't find other open ones in the area
>still haven't found another worklight piecewhere the FUCK is it?
>>738894662If I play as a black character can I still swim?
>>738914054Could be a reefback type creature, investigate closelier
Why didn't they do something new for this game like having you crash in the depths, have sonar early on after initial exploration to get vehicle, then have you rise to the top slowly as the monsters get bigger and bigger? It would make sense considering the sun only reaches a 100m and the food supply starts with plankton/plants. Otherwise it's basically a lamer Subnautica 1 where you just do the same but now there's anti soul gas and you're a clone so it's not even that scary lore wise.
>>738914392your idea was good and i was hoping for something like that too... too bad
>>738914424Yeah>Ok we know SZ was bad, we will now return to form>It's the exact same shit but now you get to choose your flavour of mystery meat and you're all clone people>Also there's another virusMeh
>>738911787can I chain the transmitters together?
>>738896401this is like every single video game release ever.People think of gaming as a social event now, which they want to be a part of.
>>738886649Tendies fear the ching ping pong man
I built the cargo shit for my tadpole. Why do I now feel like I'm driving a fucking john deer tractor
>>738914675Kharaa was a bacteria, so this is completely different
Just reactivated the turbine where the fuck do I enter this thing
>>738907027you can't trap people in a survival game like in a skinnerbox multiplayer competitive game where you can milk people forever without adding new content, new engine or better graphics, you can just make low effort skins.
>>738915286go to the observatory shit close to the alien ruins base or whatever the fuck its named, you repaired the fans right?
>>738886502this and off topic gooner garbage, twitter screencaps and ecelebs
Can I disable hunger and thirst?Having to eat and drink every 2 minutes is just dumb
>>738915538play creator mode?
>>738915538i hate that shit too, way more boring to take care of in this one than in subnautica 1
Wonder if we will be able to have vidya threads without the OP sounding like the most corporate shill ever, enjoy your marketing thread I guess.
>>738912591You now realize how lazy video games developer are lmao, if they were tasked to build a house or bigger projects like a train station for example, it would never get finished.
>>738896680It does say welcome aboard idk what that schizo is talking about
>>738915449That pissed me off so much, the pda says it's nearby and, to me, that is nowhere close to being nearby, I was going in circles looking for what it was talking about and kept telling myself it couldn't be that tower because it said it was nearby
>>738915808the pda is retarded it never helped me
Why does /v/ always lose?
>>738916626I love you man, we should date and get married.
>>738916626subnautica was always big dunno why newfags thought that game would fail.
>>738886649non-westoids care more about gameplay than political agendas. same can't be said of westoids, hence why you think it is astroturfed. you think that games should be rated -10000/10 for having blacks or women
Can someone post some big scary monsters in this one?
>>738894163a survival game that isnt a scam
>>738916697/v/ is an echo chamber where terminally online /pol/-brained retards think they form the vocal majority when in fact they are a fringe group of socially inept and emotionally stunted retardsSubnautica games having dark-skinned characters does not matter to normal people, but on /v/ this facet dominates the discourse
>>738916824>>738916697>>738916626Here's a single (You), samefag. /v/ is a place where serious discussions about video games take place. I can tell you're a /pol/-brained samefagging retard because people were discussing the details of the recently leaked game until you came about.
Where the fuck is Zip's passcode? I've scoured the entire hotcaves where she was supposed to be and all I've found are a bunch of messages about how she went deeper in and died, but I can't go deeper from here.
>>738916626Nigga /v/ has one of the oldest Subnautica communities.
>>738905243I beat it yesterday. There's like 3 biomes were you're told to grab a black box over and over, then the 3rd biome leads into somethings that's finally not a blackbox fetch quest where you fix this observatory, then it ends telling you it's still in ea. Wasn't anywhere near as scary as the og. In the og leviathans roamed in areas you had to get to, here they only spawn in areas that are considered out of bounds. Like there's one next to the tadpole dock but it's in a giant empty space off the side with nothing you need in there, so it's just a spectacle really.
>>738914770yes, you link them to reach your base. pick currents that arent too far, although mats are cheap.
>>738896254Happy ending then
it's very good. below zero focused too much on land areas, this is an improvement on 1 in many ways (lots of quality of life stuff, crafting is better, etc).of course IGN gives it a lower score than fucking mixtape cause they are retards. there is a SHITLOAD of stuff to do despite early access.
>>738917702>of course IGN gives it a lower scoreToo much water
>>738917516> Like there's one next to the tadpole dock but it's in a giant empty space off the side with nothing you need in thereI just got there but don't you need to get through there to get to the ruins? Like the second my marker appeared to point me there, the leviathan swam in front of it.
>>738914392After how bad they bogged BZ I would rather they not try anything experimental.Sometimes you just want more of what you have.
im bored of this now, need my cyclops
>>738918310It's a huge nothing burger>grabs you cause you cant outrun it or outmaneuvre it>yeets you>you carry on on your merry wayI recommend setting up a base on the alien side to avoid having to do this over and over again like the retard I was
>>738902469I think the concept of AI girlfriend/boyfriends is a lot broader than just /v/.
>>738914392>It would make senseNo, the scarcer the food supply, the bigger the predators actually. Also going up higher would be less scary as time goes on even if the monsters are bigger, the monsters are a very small part of the phobia. Good thing you're not in charge of making the game.
>>738894163Subnautica 1 was one of the earlier survival games and stood out considerably with the underwater setting since 90% of survival games are just "stranded on some tropical island now go hit trees with a stone-axe and build a basic shelter" where the only real survival mechanic is food.
Was pretty fucking good, but now I want more. Also couldnt for the life of me find the speed chassis for the tadpole. Had to play with a fucking tractor all game long
>>738917516Did they at least steal my idea for a difficulty monkey wrench where there are massive environmental shifts where safe zones can become literal hell? Like, you know that thing with games like Dying Light where the zombies become monsters at night? Imagine that, except most of the creatures and even flora are a Jekyll/Hyde situation.
>What's that? A sequel to an extremely popular game that I am not interested in is very popular?>This must be some marketing push and isn't organic!Why is /v/ like this? Does anyone even play video games here?
>>738918916It's already less scary as time goes on because you can outrun almost anything in a seamoth or defend yourself well enough with a prawn. Having glowing mushrooms cover the seafloor would probably make it a lot less scary too since the area would be well lit until you decide to venture out where it gets scarier because the loneliness and mystery intensifies. There's ways around it but no one is willing to try because of people with phobias. We can't even have spiders in games now. People like you are the reason why rogue like deckbuilder RPG/action hybrid incremental game #524 will sell like hot cakes.>Predators get bigger as food supply diminishesLol poor bait. The only reason it made sense in Subnautica is because of bio-mechanical constructs. The scariest leviathan is right next to the Aurora near shallows where food is abundant. Spoopy lava monsters just throws you around and half the time is basically quick travel to your intended destination because it chucks you the right way. Otherwise you just zoom past it.
>>738917516>Like there's one next to the tadpole dockNow I don't want to go back there. ;_;
why are the devs such fucking faggots? What's the big deal with killing predators that want to kill you? The hatchet tool is absolute garbage and simply buys you 3 secondsGame is great but why are the devs such pieces of shit
>>738920476>just let the sea creatures devour you lelterminal libtard mental illness
>>738911787i heard people said there are max limit of turbines per current, i think it's 3? Can you test it out if you can have or not infinite turbines
>>738886434Subnautica 2 at it's lowest player count will never be less than Marathon at it's peak. Same for every single popular indie game this year it seems.
Marasissies i dont feel so good..
GO WOKE GET BRO-AAAAAAACKKK
>>738919898anyone can post here and are individual representatives of themselves not the board as a whole
>>738920476devs telling the player how to think and feel should be criminalized, wish I could pirate this game enough times they lose their jobs
>>738920530>>738921247Lmfao holy schizo retardHe's telling you to play another fucking game he's not lecturing you on how to live How badly have you been mindbroken by da culture war, be honest
>>738895054It still makes me laugh how retards can't grasp why people like early access.As if a 1.0 release means it's suddenly a finished game, like Cyberpunk lmao
>>738920530They probably are into that considering how detailed and numerous death animations were in BZ
>>738920476adding weapons removes all the tension. You are supposed to be larping as a biologist and reading all the PDA entries as you scan shit you lazy fuck. Why do you think food drains more slowly? So you can read all your PDA shit without dying this time.
>>738921370don't reply to my post
why do europeans LOVE larping as useless retards and also projecting that onto everyone else?
how fun is it? i'm going on a work trip next week and need to load up on games, and i've heard this one is already "free." how big is it, and how much does the player character talk? if he is constantly quipping i will not even try it
Should I buy Subnautica 2?I'm bored and need something to play while I'm working
>>738886434What the fuck how is this game so popular?? Is this a chinkslop?
>>738921712If you enjoyed S1 you'll probably also enjoy this. It's nowhere near as big as the full size of the 1.0 releases of the prior two games but it feels big enough to keep you occupied for 10+ hours so long as you don't look up guides and explore naturally. The player character is silent except for grunts and the like, though you do occasionally get some text dialogue choices to respond to the AI guide that gives you information.
>>738921703Purplefags are so schizophrenic
>>738922145yeah whatever that shit means, weirdo
>>738922110i skimmed the thread and its apparently a really short game since its unfinished EA shit at the moment, so i think i'll give the first game another run. I played it a bit on console a few years ago and as you might expect, its miserable on a controller. now that i have a decent computer it should be a lot easier to get into, and i've still got about 80% of the game to see
>>738921617I didn't mean laser guns or fucking AK, just an equivalent of the knife in SN1. Something that can damage the fishes and possibly kill it if you want to
>>738922457>its miserable on a controller.guess I'm gonna skip it then because I wanted a couch game
>>738922527navigating the menus is just far, far simpler on a mouse. the game is really designed with a computer in mind, but you could just brute force it. its not unplayable, but its certainly not optimal
>>738921712DO NOT BUYThis game is boring as fuck. There is only 3 dangerous fish and 1 real Leviathan at the end of Early Access area. If you love gather and craft your base then you can play this but there is no real content.
>>738922491no anon you have to use your gay faggot retard little tonka toy gerber baby hammer and like it or else you're skitzoo and purple or whatever the fuck those cuckolds call you
>>738886434>This is almost Silksong tier of success but there was no buzz about it at allWhat are you talking about? Subnautica was hyped by fans for years, and as is usual for a first entry, it missed the FOTM so it got a lot of "fans" who never even played it, never bothered to buy it, and just waited for the sequel. Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2, Resident Evil 2, etc, etc, etc. It's a tale as old as time.
>>738886649WHAT DO YOU MEAN OTHER COUNTRIES EXIST
>>738921818This is just early access. Wait a few years for the 1.0 release.
>>738922583maybe I'll flip a coin later today to decide then
>>738916626they're just born this wayeven if they tried, they couldn't do anything about it
the stupidest thing you could ever post on 4chan is anything regarding a collective. anyone can post here from any background representing nothing but themselves.
>>738919805Tadpole Pens, it's attached to one of the docked Tadpole wrecks folded up for storage.
>>738921712They are not talking, and there is no sassy black wimin educating you, but the game has a huge problem of being boring.Its like Subnautica 1's content being randomized, but the outcome is the same. At the end you still do the same shit, collecting titanium, copper, silver etc. The plotline is the same too with the infection shit, but hey now you have hal9000's metroxesual version with sassy undertones to "guide" you. It has the same exact problem any modern video game has now: there already exist a superior version of it. Its not bad, just like in the 1st, because the core stuff is still good. Its just mediocre.This game should have been below zero.
>>738924078Well fuck me, thanks for the heads up
>>738886851Cool. So why isn't every single game doing that, then?
>>738919898this, the same things happened with Silksong and STS2
>>738886502Fpbp
>>738893550>my singular complain about it was the fact that you couldn't put the nuclear reactor in it, i expect a submarine with a nuclear reactor this time.You can actually mod that in
>>738886434>half a million incel chudsgrim
>>738890663Not Silksong
>>738896254That's kino. I did a playthrough where I said "fuck escaping, I live here now". I cured my disease and released the Sea Emperor babbies but didn't deactivate the quarantine gun and didn't build the rocket. Instead I built a series of luxurious, self-sufficient bases, stocked them with a whole fleet of vehicles, and the proceeded to hunt down and kill every non abyssal hostile leviathan in the game (since those respawn). My computer shit the bed and I lost the save before I could kill the last few, but I was satisfied with that ending, the MC became the sole resident of the planet, hunting leviathans for fun.
>>738920614I had like 5 and it worked, whats nice is they always work, solar only works during day cycle
>game has so little content hunger and thirst is the #1 priority of the gameplay loop
>>738886434don't worry once they realize there's actually fuckall to do in the game in current state, they'll gripe. too late tho since they can't refund it. having games in basically infinite "early access" state is and always has been a con.
Why is every fucking indie game releasing lately in early access?Yeah it looks cool, cant wait to play 1.0 in 5 years
Is this game a direct sequel to the first? Same protagonist or same planet?
>>738930464Different guy and a whole different planet.
>CohhCarnage doesn't want to review it because even he knows it's a lack luster and just trying to busy work around he's base's farm to get hours in It's over.
>>738886502
>>738930464No and no.
>>738894163It's one of the vanishingly few 'woke' games /v/ likes, to give you an idea of it's level of popularity.
>>738894392>Legitimately can't fathom (hue) how deep the corruption goes when you've got 2 companies outjewing each other and releasing a game in dev hell for 20 years just to end up releasing a slightly polished turd resembling the first game 25 years down the line.What's the other company/game?
>>738886649>>738886649thisspeak out against some of the games shortcomings such as the nonstop audiologs and within minutes you will have a full page of replies that all read the same
>>738886649>the chine are earning more money than the average amerigolem shut it down!!!!!!!!!!!
>game is early accessIs the game a complete enough experience right now to buy it? I sorta don't like having to stop half-way through and come back to the game every month to experience the new trickle of content.
>>738932945You are honestly better off waiting for there to be a shit load more to do, or even wait for the full release. I think the only thing the EA will offer are gonna be trickles of new areas, critters and maybe some minor biome changes.
>>738886434People ate up the evil CEO drama and are buying the game in what they think is a rebellious anti AI stunt move.
>>738907325the squid is a setpiece. The music changing to let you know it's nearby, it being introduced in a specific event.the reaper was a fucking sneak heart attack which unironically made a lot of people quit.
>>738932945no, the game has only 3h content
>>738905387It goes much deeper than 450m. You can go back down to the part of the ship you escaped from around 580m. I went below it down to 650m and heard a loud noise so I pussied out and came back up. There's thalassophobia down there if you want it, it's just southwest and down from the escape pod.
>>738932945No it's not complete yet but i've got over 10 hours in it so far and I've still got at least one more area to explore. There's lots of stuff to see within the areas that are implemented, though, and base building is pretty good.
Seeing a unfinished game that has only maybe a quarter of content get so popular with people that never even played the first one makes me feel like I'm not even living in the same reality as them.
>>738894662I can't wait for their analytics to show almost everyone picked the white guy
>>738937070Get with the times, old man. It's all about FOMO now.
>>738937070It's only $30, it's good, and Krafton has $750m to make back so it's not likely they're going to abandon it.
Can you actually build this?
Early access is so fucking stupid. Now they have no incentive to finish the game. They're already made most of the money they will ever make from the game.
>>738886434They got rid of the black chick from Subnautica 2, and are pretending the game never happened, so a lot of people came back. >>738886649The Chinese don't touch anything with blacks. Subnautica 2 had a black chick, so everyone skipped it. Now that they deleted the black chick, and pretending Subnautica 2 never happened by naming Subnautica 3 Subnautica 2 everyone is coming back. >>738886726>Delete Subnautica 2 because it was a woke flop>Pretend it never happened titling Subnautica 3 Subnautica 2 If they wanted to keep up with the woke they had this diverse lesbian girlboss protagonist who was talking about her therapy sessions for most of the game. Why would they get rid of not just her, but pretend her game never happened if they weren't trying to memoryhole the woke stuff?
>>738937557Yes. Building is pretty good, it's better than S1/BZ. I hope they add more curved wall options but so far it's still more flexible than S1/BZ. There are lots of little things they did to make it better: (optional) snapping to a grid, wall/tube extrusion, good system for making custom window shapes, nearby inventory is automatically used for crafting, and so far there doesn't seem to be base hull integrity (hated that).>>738937698The incentive is that Krafton (still the owner) sunk $750m into the team and they have to get their money back plus profit. I expect they'll eventually finish S2 and probably make another game or two with the same team.
>>738937698They'll generate another tidal wave of purchases with 1.0. That's at least 2 years of gradual purchases outside of initial EA. Subnautica 1 was a money printer even after full release.

asmon seething over the success
>>738938960kys eceleb cunt.
what is the chance an update will corrupt a save and you will have to start from the beginning?
>>738939142Dunno but they actually made some parts of the map unbuildable with a message that that part of the map is under construction.
>Bundle with all three games on sale on steamWould you say that's worth over 2 alone?I played subnautica on ps4 years ago so it'd be mostly to play below zero while 2 gets updated
>>738939248BZ isn't very good. The map is tiny and claustrophobic and there are mandatory land areas, the story is really stupid, the characters are dumb, and there's a dindu fish that steals your gear and runs off with it. Graphics are a little better than S1 but barely.
>>738939231yeah I know, I just was thinking about weather to get attached to my save and wait for future updates of content or just abandon it and wait years for release of 1.0
>>738939598Personally I'm probably going to dink around with building some bases in interesting areas in case they survive updates so I don't have to do it again later.
Get ready for Schrodinger's woke>woke game does poorlygo woke go broke>woke game does wellactually it's not woke
the roadmap if you are interested
>>738942556It's very cool how there's no actual dates for anythingMore content in the "future", very nice
the fact you cant kill any creatures anymore is crazy, because you are not allowed to do shit, i think you could kill even in below zero, what happened?
>>738942662in a few months.
>>738897490the survival crafting is just extra slop for the most part. can set up a functional base very quickly and spend most of your time just exploring and doing the story
>>738942556not getting it until they cut 75% of the audiologs in the game
>>738943415they just need to shorten most of the audio logs, they dont have to yap that much
>>738943487I think it's not that there's too much talk in the audiologs, but there are just way too much right now to gather from the start in quick succession. If they bother to space them out a little better then it wouldn't feel like a barrage of WORDS. On the other hand, the logs are a lot better than in Below Zero so that helps.
>>738943594true, i hope those fuckers listen to the complaints, too much dialogue in the EA for not that much content as well, in the first 2 hours you get too much exposure
>>738942556the only content this game needs is more actual fucking map and terrainthe first game had sprint but no one gave a fuck about it because the land content was the worst part of the game but now its a "planned" "addition" that would only take like 5 minutes make? what the fuck
>>738943787the lack of sprinting annoys me alot, the fact you cant run in your own base is crazy
>>738895767>gifnot today faggot
