I've been playing Subnautica and loving the sense of dread and terror when deep diving at night. I feel like I'm progressing pretty slowly but it's a blast so far.

Subnautica is probably one of the most involved I've gotten in a game in a long time. after I beat it on a couple weeks ago I immediately preordered the sequel

I also love how casual spoilers get dropped here and nobody flips out which is not the case in games

BTW everyone thanks for not explicitly saying the twist in SO 3 without spoiler tags, it seemed like it might get a little touch and go there and I do want to see what it is with minimal knowledge beforehand.

Yeah I can’t really read games because the threads are all extreeeemely inside baseball, to the point where I’m a guy intentionally trying to read about a video game on the internet and I’m still going “yeesh, this is too much about this video game.”

Yeah even threads for games I'm fairly familiar with like isaac are full of folk who must have ten times the hours i have.

Agreed. I make a point to play it with the lights turned off and headphones on. I usually don't care for base and resource management but I've gone all in. I can't wait to check out the sequel.

my first experience with subnautica was with a VR headset at a friends house. it was janky as hell, but the atmosphere was still absolutely terrifying in a way few other games are. it’s a shame the devs basically gave up on VR support.

i ended up playing it a ton on my PC (not VR) and loved it up til i encountered a totally game breaking bug that stopped me from finishing the game. currently waiting for the new one to fully release (like 2 weeks from now?), i hope it’s good!

Yeah I know so people couldn't get into to Subnautica but it really does have a sense of wonder plus fear as you explore new areas w/ finding new types of sea creatures.

I almost feel like the base building / resource grinding was at least to me a distraction from the more compelling parts of the game. Even though can understand that things like resource gathering was to drive the whole progression of the game into the more advanced dangerous regions of the game.

console threads are great because occasionally you'll have someone in the sony thread that says "god of war was just ok" or something and then a bunch of responses reacting like someone with 3 heads just walked into the room and whipped all 4 of their dicks out.

the switch thread regularly devolves into anguished screaming any time someone mentions the fact that they experienced frame drops in a switch game lol

Games forum is if you combined DND smugness and clueless except it's about bideo games.

Also similar jerk-offs offs for people in power, like trying people to shell out their cash for things like Anthem.

You need to get excited about AAA Games!

kinda subtle but criteria (1) sounds like he's saying uplay needs to fix something.


why was it so much easier for "sophisticated hackers" to buy poo poo with stolen credit cards on epic than it was to do so directly on uplay?

or is it just that the inevitable chargebacks would go to epic, but the account had already been laundered to uplay where the game is safe from being revoked?

yeah i'm pretty sure they're just charging back epic and selling the uplay accounts generated by the purchase, which are marginally harder to track and revoke since they are third-party

it kinda reads like Tim is being pissy about Ubisoft requiring people to have uplay accounts for their epic purchases with that bit about Fortnite

Lmao has the same vibe of when CDPR sent out official letters telling people to get Sony/Playstation stores to take of the refund processing.

Sony got so pissed off by fiasco that they banned the game from the Playstation store.
