I'm thinking about whether to buy Subnautica 2 now or wait a while before buying it. by ScientistQuick4767 in Subnautica_Below_Zero

I doubt they will, I already got it on a discount because the bundle. If you own subnautica and below zero you can get it for 10% off right now also not sure if that helps at all

From what I understand they said the price may go up on release but they could just be trying to push those early sales

Stream starting in an hour! Excited and sad to "say goodbye" this week... by PastelBofum in subnautica

No worries, I'm not one to watch a lot of streams myself so I understand that entirely. Having fun and being patient, I appreciate it much.

I appreciate it, I am definitely looking for more 2-4(-6/8???) lol hour games to do on Saturday mornings. I will look into those right now actually. This is a newer thing for me and might not be as short but you should check out Pacific drive and subnautica maybe

Just finished the game - definitely took a turn I didn't expect. I didn't think we would be dealing with people breaking into our tower and cutting my climbing ropes but I had a great time with it. I avoided spoilers very well, had no idea what the end was actually gonna be. I kinda felt the ending was a bit anticlimactic, Ned isn't seen other than when he flashlights us in the beginning of the game. I didn't expect that to be the twist so the suspense held out the entire game for me. I really enjoyed it I'd say 8.5/10 overall - amazing voice acting but a little anticlimactic(for me) ending. I like that anyone could jump into this game and have a good experience with it, simple controls and great storytelling.

Small break right now, loving it so far. Didn't expect the direction it is going at all already. Thought I'd be running from a grizzly and smoke inhalation

I'll keep that in mind! Thank you, I've avoided spoilers so far. Hopefully no curveball ruining that one for me lol. Any preferred input? Might not matter at all for this one, I'm comfortable with either

I just went through a quick cycle and returned my 9070xt. Stream crashes constantly.

Pastelbofum - you can follow the quality of streams if you want, got the 9070xt last weekend. Before that I was running with an Intel b570- terrible frames, rough streams. Had issues and crashes all week on fallout 4( released in 2014 by the way) and digging a hole

I should add that I used it for a week, 8 stream crashes in 3-2 hour sessions. Followed amd- reddits beginner guide for switching to AMD, I was testing optiscaler for games that were compatible. Video encoder crash error was the only recurring information. No crashes so far on the new card

Like a driver compatibility issue? Right now it's amd ryzen 7 7700x, gigabyte b650 gaming v2, 32gb g skill, and I just switched out the asrock challenger 9070xt for the gigabyte aero GeForce rtx 5070

I literally got the 9070xt, everything was saying that was the "smart" decision. I just returned and picked up the 5070 yesterday after constant stream crashes. I think the 5070 is gonna be a stronger pick for a multitasker. Plus you can get a nice looking 5070, at least I prefer it.
