    The main loss is that the much more enclosed environments in below zero keep everything in visibility range. There isn't the fear that something could be waiting in the fog far away anymore. To be honest, I think the reduced map size was partially because of the engine limits. Subnautica had hellish draw distance, where entire chunks of terrain would disappear at 30 meters. The game tried to hide it with fog, but the regions on the map without fog, particularity the above-ground mushroom forest, looked like melted plastic.

    Before watching the video, my opinions on why it sucked: -They didn't understand what made the first game good -World felt smaller -Pointless land section in a game about underwater exploration, talk about bad game design -Needless DEI ESG MC, shoehorned politics, yaaaaay -Shit audio logs, instead of pertaining to survivors its all just goofy nonsense -None of the new 'monsters' are scary. They all look like scaley dolphins and stuff. They're loud, but not scary. Just annoying, really. -The seatruck just kinda sucked. -It felt half-assed tbh -They didn't take the opportunity to improve things from the first game, like scanning for example. They added a new scanning tool but it was pointless. -the story sucked balls -the setting. 'I'm a survivor of a crash' is so much more interesting than 'I'm a corporate worker looking for why my sister died' in a SURVIVAL game. -and more!

    I never played, watched, or involved myself in anything Subnautica below zero because I had a feeling it was going to be a disappointment. Today I decided to see how and what Subnautica below zero was. It's even worse than I imagined. It's literally making me angry and frustrated that they ruined my precious Subnautica Has nothing to do with this but the leviathans (at least in the original) are disappointingly small. Like when I was a kid I remembered the leviathans being, well. Leviathan size. But they're so small. I think the smallest leviathans should've been sea emperor size and the "big ones" like the sea emperor, roofback and others a LOT bigger than the sea emperor

  • @georgejenson7402
    @georgejenson7402 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    i disagree with how bad the end game caves were in the second game. there aw wondering and terror/horrer effect was great, altho very short lived due to lack of things in them such as story/ structures and how the lathiathans eventually got annoying (the first game fell victim to this too, just not as bad), but i can still remember how scared i was when i saw my first lathiathan down there, and hiding from them in the crevases, but then eventually tormenting them with my prawn suit once they got annoying (something i would never do with my prawn suit with the lava lathiathins in the first game). and the even lower level cave with the red crystals were altho cool, kinda just a rinse and repeat of the first one.

  • @georgejenson7402
    @georgejenson7402 4 วันที่ผ่านมา

    i feel like with the lessons learned with "below zero" david kalina gunna do a good job with "subnautica 2", and fireing Simon Chylinski was the wrong move- altho below zero's music was still pretty good, and i especially love "subnautic stimulus". honestly if they just took the firsts game's ambience and sound design, and the song disc colection of the second game (i would love to see more of those made), you couldnt get much better than that for the third game.

    The Leviathans in Subnautica were designed to be the apex predators of their respective environments. The leviathans in BZ were designed for fear factor only. That is what ultimately makes them less scary. BZ tries to have more of those "haha i got you" moments, whereas Subnautica doesn't.

    Personally, I love both Games. Yes I preferred the first game, but that's because it's bigger and more vast And also because it has the cyclubs. When they make the Third game, what it need to have is Huge underwater submarines where you need to play with other people too, Man the submarine. Of course, there should also be some submarines that it's big, but you can pilot alone. This is what I would love to see in a third game bigger. Oceans and submarines.

    The best part of the original subnautica was how the story was somewhat detached from the gameplay itself for most of the game, slowly becoming more apparent as you went on. In below zero it just threw it all at you from the get go.

  • @Nick-kd6pk
    @Nick-kd6pk 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

    No matter if the immersion was damaged, replaying og subnautica with coop was just as, if not more, fun to play. I mean, obviously one against an entire world has a more isolated, cautious and sad feel to it that two against the world, but it trades off with so many more unforgettable experiences. And i did too think that birds that flew through the ground in the first game could've been better. If there were more species with their unique unexpected behaviours to live even on relatively small biomes like the islands would it hurt the experience or make it even better? In the end it doesn't really matter what the components to the next game are: any promising ones could be turned shallow as much as any weird and disappointing ideas can work surprisingly well, if implemented correctly. They had their highs and lows, as well as years to reflect on their mistakes.

    @Jomok0 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

    The lack of horror compared to the first and the obnoxious protagonist and more character interaction based story really did degrade the game imo. The lonely, quiet, often scary feeling of the first game is what really makes it. The leviathans aren't even frightening in this one, and they run away from you if you ram them with a sea truck lol.

  • @DeadDancers

    The sea truck being a glacially slow, clumsy stick was a shame. Having it follow your movement like a segmented, slinky snake at a brisker pace would have made it worth using.
