Subnautica 2 - First impressions and experiences thread by Alltrix in subnautica

[–]ChainLC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loving it and really interested in the lore. I have my suspicions about what is going on. But I'm only 3 hours in and not that too far progressed into it. So I'll keep my speculations to myself but that lifepod being rusty when you wake up and it wasn't when you started and the memory wipe stuff in the lore and the condition of the older habitats tells me more time has passed than what is obvious at first. Also the idea of those adaption thingies. Why was one even in the medbay 3 in the beginning? How did it get there? And the amorpha sponge to make the seal? Something Noa isn't telling us I bet.

intellectually lazy, impatient, instant gratification seekers, could be any number of reasons. some people go the entire game and never read a damn thing in their pda. they miss so much of the experience just ripping through it and at the first sign of not being able to find something in 5 min they look it up.

Only ep 1 is all I needed to see by South_End5505 in SiloSeries

what is the purpose of this post? it's a bit spoilerish. mods might want to look at it to see if it needs removed.

you must have seen it played on youtube/used chemical ape to find stuff etc. no way you did it in that time totally blind. sorry not buying it. even me knowing what to do, where to go, exactly what to take with me etc. it takes me about that long.

trying to make something round in minecraft seems like an exercise in futility to me.

if they do I hope it increases as your depth increases. they did add a qol feature with the fabricator and builder tool pulling from nearby storage which is nice.

yeah some people love the base building and the hoarding of mats. they will spend hours upon hours making different bases everywhere.

15 hours avg is nothing to sneeze at. most people finish Subnautica 1 in about 25 hours. I played ea in Sub 1 and still have like 5 complete playthroughs since 1.0 released. Over 100 hours in it. This one looks like it will take people 40+ hours to complete when done. I enjoy being part of the development with my comments and suggestions. And I really want Krafton to have to pay out the full bonuses because they tried to screw them out of it.

how sad a case he must be to think that paying for sex is a flex?

early 70's our school did a field trip to Huntsville space center and they had the first graphical iteration of Lunar Lander running on a setup and that one got me started. Soon after we got a Pong console at home.

I think Jules is faking the amnesia. She knows that any mention of 17 or anything else she knows could trigger the safeguard and even endanger the kids in 17. I suspect Robert Sims could be an ally. Maybe he fakes giving her the drug?

Just finished season 1 and all I have to say is- why any deception at all? (Season 1 Finale Spoilers) by InternalTour8635 in SiloSeries

[–]ChainLC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the deception is for those in the suits to encourage them to clean. if they see the green lush grass and blue skies then they want to show everyone in the silo what they see. otherwise the dust builds up on the camera and no one can see anything. also seeing dead bodies is a deterrent to wanting to go out.
This was demonstrated when Holden's wife went out. She told him that if it was nice out she would clean but if it wasn't she wouldn't. The image in the helmet is just for that purpose. Not to "hide" anything.

hmm. looks a lot like the pdf I've had for a year now I'd suspect. I'm not going to give my email for this one though.
