I would really appreciate a mod that lets you supercharge the repulsion cannon (like by shoving an ion power cell into it) to make it capable of punting reapers into orbit.

I met that Reaper when circling the island in the Cyclops, was fun. Also I somehow swam all the way around the Aurora in early game without running into any besides noticing something I thought was a giant squid popping up.

I’d love to play a version of this game where you can kill wildlife as easily as it can kill you.

I mean, I just sent a reaper sinking to the ocean floor, like, two days ago, with my PRAWN suit, claw arms only, no booster jet upgrades, without repairing even once. I don't even need the suit, or anything besides my trusty knife, for anything smaller than a leviathan. The repulsion gun is just for fun. No stasis rifle this run, because that poo poo seriously destroys any semblance of a challenge (as much as I love it). Seriously, my man Ryley is the most dangerous organism on that planet (as will be, I'm sure, Robin, in time). Well, aside from Marguerit, of course...

I did get a laugh at how the reason everything went bad was (Survivor spoilers) Her finally listening to Bart's whining that she should stop wanting to kill predators, and the inevitable end result of using non-lethal options instead. I wonder if whoever put that plot point in the game meant it as a deliberate meta critique, or it was purely accidental comedy?

Man, Subnautica wasn’t really optimized for scale but a similar game that really went all-in on titanic creatures of the deep would be awesome.

Subnautica VR really isn't so bad, I have not gone Deep Deep yet, mostly cause I intend to put my partner into it and let them be spooked, but even peering into a cave in the safe shallows that I know to be safe started wigging me out hard. The control and UI are real funky in it but usable. Did have a physics bug that launched me about a kilometer into the air while trying to get onto the lifepod. That was. . . . startling.

I wish I hadn't played Subnautica in regular mode before trying VR. Just like Skyrim and Fallout the jankiness of the controls in VR just irritate me and make me want to play it normally. :\

Tenzarin posted:Gimme a prawn with a grappling hook and ill fight it. Grappling hooks just lower your DPS. Twin claw-hands for life, baybee. (I kid, of course, since only the reapers are dumb enough to grapple you and free up both hands for punching (totally canon, given their scan entry), while ghosts are drive-by biters/rammers and sea dragons actually have hands of their own to hold you at a distance with) (but seriously, just basic arms is the best way to fight reapers and charging after them with jumps when they retreat after getting a face-full of fist to bait them into grabbing you again is the most efficient way to fight them (outside of stasis cheese, of course))

I think leeches probably win out with most brain dead determined, because they will power through a drill larger than their entire body spewing their blood everywhere to latch onto your cockpit. At least reapers have the excuse of being bigger than everything they want to chew on.

Leeches somehow manage to get inside your cyclops every so often. Clearly, they can't be that dumb.

The larger creatures and vehicles are really large compared to the player character. It's just that viewing a first-person perspective on a monitor screws with our ability to judge size relative to ourselves.

The default FoV is also pretty high, 90 if I recall, which makes everything look even smaller.

GamingHyena posted:Do you think whales only eat larger whales? I mean sure whales go after much smaller prey but it's not like they go after a single fish or krill, they feed on large concentrations of them. I feel like the only reason the large predators even bother with the player character is because all the noise the vehicles make bothers the hell outta them.

GamingHyena posted:Do you think whales only eat larger whales? Fair, I am assuming from the conversation and visual appearance that it's intended to be a predator. A predator of that size would absolutely have a lower size limit for prey, below that limit nothing would be nutritious enough to be a net positive after expending all the energy needed to propel that enormous body on the hunt.

If noise was the real problem, or if nutrition were their priority? That would mean a reaper wouldn't have a single minded desire to eat your parked, lights off, Seamoth. After the Nth time you've booped them away from it with the Repulsion gun (It last I played, but it's more like they get shoved five feet while you get pushed backwards 30). Good thing they could no-clipped their way into that cave already, or slowly shoving them back through the wall they came would have felt awkward. I suppose the convenient part is they also entirely ignore my delicious, instantly killed body, while I'm slapping them with the sci-fi equivalent of a rolled up newspaper until I can casually hop in and drive away with their heart's desire. But I'd like to imagine people saying "Don't worry, only sound and light bother them!" are getting a cut from replacement Seamoth sales  It would fit the stock megacorp future, after all.

A mega leviathan’s sole purpose would be to go after the cyclops and create a real late game threat. A super leviathan wouldn’t even bother with the seamoth.

Maybe it's defending its eggs/young that a Seamoth could conceivably be a threat to?
