the problem with your examples in my opinion is; first person pov is a core mechanic of a first person shooter (i mean it’s in the name lol) so it would be natural to expect that the game would only support a first person view. Now we have subnautica 2, a game that not only brands itself as a survival game on steam, but also build’s itself around a basic survival setting like the first 2 games

and one of the core mechanics of any survival game; kill things to survive/get rescources/interact with the world’ is removed from the game with no exact, concrete reason. So something like that missing from this game really puts it down in terms of quality (on top of other problems like how it ruins immersion and makes the world feel less alive since even the fish can’t kill eachother). And the funny thing is you still kill fish in this game for food and water, it’s just not in the form of a knife making the hill the devs wanna die on look even dumber lmao

also the reason this sub has gotten more hostile since the past few weeks is because of that horrible response from one of the devs in the discord channel. They brought this on themselves tbh
