Pointcrow, clearly and visibly terrified of the ocean, at night: "Guys, do you mind if I wait until morning to go into the water?" Several folks in Chat: "GET IN THE WATER COWARD" "YES WE MIND" "JUMP, YOU COWARD!" "JUMP NOW" Nice to see such compassion and support in full, open display!
I really hope he continues to play this game until the end, the story really picks up later in game (and has my favourite moments), I know progress can be slow/frustrating for first time players in the beginning.
@@ezikrasthekobold3789 I'd rather have weak bitch tp around me than have a reaper on my tail. A warper would irl be way more easily avoidable. You just gotta swim away a bit, it isn't too relentless, while a reaper is huge, can grab you, could kill you in a single crunch and is way more relentless
One thing that's great about this game is it incredibly difficult to spoil. Like, there's a few places where you can explain something that's going to happen, but it in no way takes away from the sheer terror of running into it
Chat still trying real hard though. “YoU bEtTeR gO oUt NoW” someone says an hour before the aurora explodes because they don’t even remember the game right lmao
What? Dude, there are so many ways to spoil this game to a new player. SPOILERS "There are giant sea monsters near the Aurora." "The game teases you with NPC dialogue, but you'll never meet another human." "There are 2 islands with dry land hidden in the fog." "The planet used to be inhabited by an alien civilization." "The Aurora was shot down by a planetary defense cannon, and so will the ship that comes to rescue you." "The planet is under quarantine because of a deadly bacteria, which you're also infected with." "There are more biomes hidden deep underground." "One of the leviathans is intelligent and will speak to you telepathically." "There's a fast travel system with alien portals, and the green cubes activate them." etc.
I just adore how this game is so well made that just by being an exploration game set in a deep ocean world, it makes the exploration into the unknown a scary task. I really appreciate that it doesn't go out of it's way trying to scare you.
The way I finished this game (also rerrified of the ocean) was by directing a friend who had already played what to do and where to go. They were very patient with me... the search for a certain important material got on their nerved '^_^ Could not have finished it on my own
Not many people have blind gameplays anymore of Subnautica. It reminds me of some awesome days i had on this game when I was fresh to it! Love this! Also, this is the first time ever seeing you play so it was interesting to say the least! :P I plan to see more! :)
Me too, I played it for the first time last year and went into it blind, it was so fun and interesting. I never finished the game because I didn't want to lose my submarine
I love this because this is EXACTLY how I played. Waiting until day and being horrified of the ocean, but for a different reason lol. I spent a lot of my life on the ocean and the ocean being so alien is what was horrifying to me. I really want to see more, might convince me to start playing again and actually beat it.
You should try to beat it. Its not 100% accurate in terms of what you find underwater, but it is extremely good at representing what life would really look like for plants and animals at those depths. Bearing through the terror and going down deeper is a rewarding experience at the end of it all.
I really appreciate that you read lore and all the data bank stuff. So refreshing to actually see someone that actually cares about the world building !
Eric, this is the perfect game for you to add a heart rate monitor for, I am like you and have a fear of the ocean and can imagine how much fun chat would have watching it go up and down lol. Love your content either way! Will always be a vod frog
when it said seek fluid intake after the explosion I'm just picturing pointcrow needing to hydrate because the character pissed themselves. Edit: IT LITERALLY HAPPENED TWICE!! once with the sunbeam and once with the aurora
Minor equipment spoilers: I was watching Markiplier play this, I think when it was in early access, and he had the stillsuit which allows you to recycle water. He got scared at one point, probably a late game creature, and then got water from the suit. It was hilarious because it was as though Riley had just pissed himself.
people who cry about content creators "copying" others are pp-heads. I watch you and SmallAnt both, and really enjoy both of you as people and content creators, I feel like even when you cover the same games, it's a very different experience, and you are completely different people with different choices and different humour. I also love the friendly rivalry the two of you have going, always wished I had a pokemon rival irl lol
Unfortunately when he said him and Smant aren't friends in this VOD, he meant it. The friendly rivalry isn't a thing anymore and Pcrow wants to move on. Basically Smant played a lot of that rivalry up to the point of editing Pcrow to look worse in a video, and on top of it Smant's community has been fairly toxic towards Pcrow for a while now. If you're only on TH-cam or a more casual viewer it's easy to miss, but if you're engaged with the Twitch end of things it gets hard to not notice. People have been pretty mean to Pcrow for a while now and when he told Smant about it and asked for him to do something or tone it down, Smant didn't see the problem and couldn't understand why it was such an issue, therefore neglecting it. The comparisons between Pcrow and Smant have worn him down and he's over it, there's no longer any comradery between them and it's unlikely there will ever be any in the future unless everyone stops grouping them together and calling Pcrow things like "Smant but worse" because it isn't funny and never was. It's more than an issue between just Pcrow and Smant, it's something the community itself did, and even the comments being positive still make him feel bad when he's lumped in with Smant. That said I'd like to stress that this does not mean you can't enjoy Smant, Pcrow has literally said not to go attacking Smant or to stop watching/supporting him because of this, so I don't want this comment to be seen as an attack on Smant. Nobody should treat Smant badly for this and nobody would support anyone who does. Smant isn't a terrible person for this, him and Pcrow simply don't see eye to eye on this and due to it being a community-wide issue, even if they did it likely would have continued since it's difficult to get thousands of people to play nice. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I hope you understand! Pcrow himself commented about it in this Reddit thread, and it includes a link someone posted to the VOD where he talks a bit more about it: www.reddit.com/r/PointCrow/comments/t2ruit/is_anyone_able_to_fully_explain_what_happened/
@@HotCrossBunnies thanks for telling us more about it.. i've noticed it in the streams and it's just pissing me off at this point. I'm stil a fan of smant but his community is very toxic compared to this one
They aren't friends anymore due to Smallant's community consistently mocking him and Ant just shrugging it off/disregarding his feelings as a whole. I can't blame the guy, your friends should be more important than the strangers that watch your content.
point crow and smallant both played this? wow, who would of guessed that two gamers with similar interests would end up find a similar pockets of time between other big games to play another game, and happen to play a game that they didnt get to when it first came out when its making a reemergence in community's. *that was sarcasm* of course there's a good probability of them playing the same games. thats kind of how the gaming community works as a whole since people who like the same games are stuck with the same release schedule and part of the same communities that influence there" oh i want to play that now" mindset. difrent gamers can play the same games, its the beauty of games. honestly i like it when they overlap like this because you get to see multiple reactions to the same thing
Idk if you're gonna read this ever, but I just wanted to let you know that your vods get me through the day most days, I have to always be listening to something bc brain dumb, and ever since I found your channel(s), it's been much more fun. Thanks for being funny and keeping on keepin on 😄
I wonder if Eric connected the two points of “stasis rifle” and “due to Obraxis Prime, the only fabricated weapon is a survival knife” Tiny spoiler: The rifle won’t kill anything, it’s only useful for getting close with a knife and/or running away. That’s why the crab didn’t die until he used the knife. I wonder if he realized that, or if he was distracted by other stuff
yea, it's a very interesting theme with the way they view human-alien interactions in the future. since it's in man's nature to command and conquer, the researchers on obraxis prime most likely got targeted by the same types of predatorial species as some of the leviathans in 4546B, then got carried away with using weapons, ending up in a massacre. the game almost never makes you *want* to kill leviathans. of course you can, but since they're really not that hard to outrun, it's almost never going to be out of self-defense, and it's going to take you a *while*.
@@alpyne4897 I think there was a short fanmade story I read somewhere about a possible scenario for the Obraxis Prime incident where a fabricator was used by someone in a public area (possibly an airport/spaceport) to make a gun, which would’ve led to lawsuits against Alterra and made them change the functionality of fabricators. I feel like the researchers overkill idea is more likely, but I could definitely see it either way
by studying his thirst and hunger bar and when he refills them i can calculate that he is the person that waits until his gun has no bullets before he reloads lol
I am so scared of this game so I’m living it vicariously through you. Maybe once I know what I’m in for I can try it for myself. I have this on in the background so I won’t remember all the story😂 On a side note, my heart sank when I saw smant play this because I know you’ve had it as a sub goal for a while. I’m glad you still played it though and that you’re not letting some people’s bullshit stop you.
I was also really scared but ive played it a bunch of times now and its really good and one of my favorite games ever because it surprises you so much. Highly recommend trying it out.
I never even really thought of this but it’s interesting that the sunbeam got absolutely vaporized by the gun yet the aurora is still mostly intact, like surely the devs just didn’t want to deal with a more elaborate animation but also is there any explanation in game for that? Is the sunbeam a smaller vessel?
You know, I think I figured out why the soundtrack can feel so scary. I don't know much about music, but I've noticed that it always feels like very dramatic ambiance, like something new and big is being revealed. And as a result, you as the player somehow end up feeling *smaller.*
You never realize how scary the game is until you play it. As someone who has put around 59 hours into this game my friend would always make fun of me for being scared until he tried the game and he never even got in the water. This game drains the life out of you when your first play it. And don't even get me started when you first hear or see a reaper. Every time chat is making fun of Eric i know the feeling he has and I've been there before. It really is quite fumy now that can just say shut up to a reaper and kill it.
I've been watching your content on TH-cam for 2 or 3 months now, and you're now the first and only streamer I've ever paid to subscribe to on Twitch. You're an awesome person and I have truly enjoyed every piece of content I've watched, and I've watched through probably 40 to 50 hours of full streams. Watching part 2 on Twitch live right now, and I want you to know how much you're appreciated. I'm so pumped about this I just ordered the game for myself.
You've been planning on playing this game for a while now, so anyone that tries to claim that you're copying are not the brightest bulbs in the house. Just glad to see you getting to it.
Pointcrow: "Hey please don't give your opinion if it is 'hey you're copying smallant'" Be me: OMG!!! Pointcrow is playing subnautica as well!? HELL YEAH LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pointcrow, i don't know if you are gonna read this, but your audience is with you, supporting you, don't let those smallant viewers (the weird ones) ruin your day. im in love with both your playthroughs, and i can't wait to see you both progress in your own ways
did something happen...? Is it okay if I ask? I watch both of them and I wasn't aware that something had taken place. I understand if you rather not explain. Thank you.
@@tigerlily9965 I think josue vargas is referring to the toxicity that some smant commenters have displayed on this vod calling Pcrow a copycat of smant
@@wapper1965 Thank you. I watched his next Subnautica stream and I think I get what happened. I'm really sad that Ant allowed such toxicity and I sadly don't feel comfortable supporting him any longer. It brings the streamers integrity to question. I hope at some point Ant will take responsibility cause I really feel like he has a lot of good qualities.
Crows to nice for his own good lol hes being endlessly tormented but constantly apologetic to chat and making sure everyones having a good time without feeling bad for him 😂
Eric is one of the most genuine streamer/human being I’ve ever seen wow I love him, he’s amazing and I can relate to him on so many levels, and his chat is so tame and knows when things are pushing it, it’s such a amazing dynamic to see, even when pointcrow is upset or having a little issue he keeps his smile on. I’m new to this community but I’m glad to be here.
Pointcrow, after jumping in the water for the first time: I hear like, a heartbeat (under the water) y'know? Mr. Crow that's not a sound effect, that is _your_ heart.
Came to the vod because I caught part of the stream live but missed the beginning and had to sleep through the end. I brought the game myself after your stream because it looks amazing but I'm a bit worried about freaking myself out whilst playing it! I'm probably going to rewatch the whole vod, and procrastinate on starting my own playthrough when I get home from work :)
I also have JUST started my first game of Subnautica. Granted, I have seen plays of it, specifically NeebsGaming and Jesse Cox, but they aren't very detailed on progression or deep into story. I'm loving the game so far. Really wanna make a cyclops, but haven't discovered all the parts yet. Hope you enjoy this as much as I am!
I hate how when pointcrow asks a question, half of the people don’t even respond correctly, he asks for them to say yes or no, but they respond with much more detail
The most satisfying thing about subnautica is collecting resources imo,there’s just something about breaking that rock and getting something,And it’s so satisfying to scan everything too.
Hey man, just started the video and got to hear about the hate that you get just from playing a game that "another" streamer also played. I'm sorry to hear that:( I love both yours and his content and i hate that you have to approach this alone. I really hope it gets better! Best regards
It does not seem like it will get better because PointCrow is already considered similar enough to SmallAnt and was generally considered less skilled than SmallAnt. He has a very bad reputation that is not going to go away. It should, but it will not.
I don't think there is a second vid yet! I think this is from the thursday stream so the next one he'll probably do is this upcoming Thursday on the twitch channel? So it will probably be a bit til that stream gets to youtube vods
It doesn't matter that smant has already played this, I love seeing the two different reactions of the game and the different ways you both play. You're not smant and he isn't you, you're both different streamers and I love both of your content. Can't wait to see more of this game on this channel, its one of my faves and I'm really enjoying watching you play it (can't watch the streams cause I'm in the UK and it's too late at that point) Please ignore the comments about you copying smant cause you're not, you're both different streamers both producing great content ^^
eric this stream was awesome normally i never fully watch a live stream but this was the first time i ever did and it was awesome i can't wait until you return to this game next week and trust me this was just the begining the game will get way better then it is now and i think everyone else is also really enjoying you play subnautica ps: that time capsule you found is pretty rare it is something another player left for someone else to find when and they are pretty rare and you got a statis rifle that is an late game item your really lucky that you got that that was it bye until next week hope you see this
EDIT: [link removed xd check reply] PCROW talks briefly about the issue with the other streamer on his sub Reddit Original comment: I'm super sorry for asking this, I know that the "other streamer" kind of puts off the persona that he's better than everyone else and like lets his viewers run away with it, is that the only issue? or is there more? Pcrow seems to indicate that there's more and I would like to know if I'm missing something
Is anyone able to fully explain what happened between PointCrow and [other streamer]? Serious Also I hope it's alright for me to ask. I've looked around the internet for answers but I've got nothing concrete. u/[sorry for deleting this name] They still like each other and are friends, but their chat are fucking assholes. Back when they first started doing pokemon races, they'd jokingly make fun of each other and lie to each other, but their chat took things way too far and started raiding the others chat to say vile things. It was sad and hurtful for both, so they stopped making content together Edit: they're no longer friends, someone commented the vod lower down, good watch but hella sad u/Ohtovia That sucks. I hate it when collabs are ruined because of immature communities. u/PointCrow Hi! I think it’s important to note that the immature communities were fostered by bad presentation of me in shorter form content and treatment overall. One example is the Pokémon map randomizer collab where I’m constantly called a cheater/liar and he played up our misunderstanding of rules in the video Yeah it sucks but I’m moving on. It’s been present for a while now but Ive just gotten more confident in myself and my own content to mention that this has been happening and sorta stand up against it. I’ll probably get some backlash for it, but until I’m treated as just another creator rather than living in his shadow, you can expect no more collabs I’m skiing right now lmao so this might be scuffed writing. Hopefully it doesn’t get worse and I don’t have to talk on it any further. Mentioned it on stream as an FYI since people were asking. Cheers :) Edit: tl;dr shit happens, let’s move on 👍
Smants viewers are toxic and come into pcrows comments and chat to tell him he’s just bad smallant and a worse version pretty much. He tried telling smant about it and smant shrugged him off so they’re no longer friends
@@Skedaddle_Skanoodle yeah like it’s sad because many other youtubers address not sending hate and call them out when their fanbase is being horrible but smallant doesn’t. It sucks cause I really enjoyed their vids together but I understand not wanting to do videos with someone who doesn’t take accountability for their toxic fanbase.
damn its sad that crow and small ant arent friends anymore bc i found him through smant but ended up liking his content/personality more. Sucks that people are toxic for literally no reason.
@@brots3 From what I heard, people tend to say that pcrow is a worse version of small ant over and over and over again which obviously kinda sucks and can hurt a lot. But they didn't part in a bad way tho. They just don't do stuff together anymore
@@ryothelegend3221 yeah it's always the fans that make things shitty. Ant has been off of zelda for a while, but now that he's back trying any% maybe they'll do stuff? Hope there's nothing bad between them D:
@@Argetbrisingr101 I don't think that the 2 of them will start to do things together again sadly. I really liked them as a duo. But the fans just ruined it for the time

point crow and smallant both played this? wow, who would of guessed that two gamers with similar interests would end up find a similar pockets of time between other big games to play another game, and happen to play a game that they didnt get to when it first came out when its making a reemergence in community's. *that was sarcasm* of course there's a good probability of them playing the same games. thats kind of how the gaming community works as a whole since people who like the same games are stuck with the same release schedule and part of the same communities that influence there" oh i want to play that now" mindset. difrent gamers can play the same games, its the beauty of games. honestly i like it when they overlap like this because you get to see multiple reactions to the same thing
Nah whoever i like more is totally getting copied
*drops everything* time to sit down for 5 hours straight
it is amazing how much pointcrow being scared causes him to take 6 times longer to do anything
Idk if you're gonna read this ever, but I just wanted to let you know that your vods get me through the day most days, I have to always be listening to something bc brain dumb, and ever since I found your channel(s), it's been much more fun. Thanks for being funny and keeping on keepin on 😄
I wonder if Eric connected the two points of “stasis rifle” and “due to Obraxis Prime, the only fabricated weapon is a survival knife”
Tiny spoiler:
The rifle won’t kill anything, it’s only useful for getting close with a knife and/or running away. That’s why the crab didn’t die until he used the knife. I wonder if he realized that, or if he was distracted by other stuff
yea, it's a very interesting theme with the way they view human-alien interactions in the future. since it's in man's nature to command and conquer, the researchers on obraxis prime most likely got targeted by the same types of predatorial species as some of the leviathans in 4546B, then got carried away with using weapons, ending up in a massacre.
the game almost never makes you *want* to kill leviathans. of course you can, but since they're really not that hard to outrun, it's almost never going to be out of self-defense, and it's going to take you a *while*.
@@alpyne4897 I think there was a short fanmade story I read somewhere about a possible scenario for the Obraxis Prime incident where a fabricator was used by someone in a public area (possibly an airport/spaceport) to make a gun, which would’ve led to lawsuits against Alterra and made them change the functionality of fabricators.
I feel like the researchers overkill idea is more likely, but I could definitely see it either way
In fact, I think the developers were working on the game when Sandy Hook happened, so that might have parallels to removing weapons in the game
@@LegoEngineer003 dumbest comment i've seen all year
@@truegreen7595 dumbest reply I’ve seen all year
by studying his thirst and hunger bar and when he refills them i can calculate that he is the person that waits until his gun has no bullets before he reloads lol
Good thing subnautica doesn’t “really” have guns makes the game feel much safer when you protect yourself with a butter knife
actually, some games have a notification for when you get low on ammo. he would reload it then, or just wait for no bullets
@@MrKnightslayer7 yh lmao
That jump scare at the end actually scared me and I have played the game before
I am so scared of this game so I’m living it vicariously through you. Maybe once I know what I’m in for I can try it for myself. I have this on in the background so I won’t remember all the story😂
On a side note, my heart sank when I saw smant play this because I know you’ve had it as a sub goal for a while. I’m glad you still played it though and that you’re not letting some people’s bullshit stop you.
I was also really scared but ive played it a bunch of times now and its really good and one of my favorite games ever because it surprises you so much. Highly recommend trying it out.
Well said man
pointcrow: "how do you stop the boomfish"
Me: "thats the neet part, you dont"
"Emergency, starvation imminent. Seek calorie intake immediately."
ah, yes
the cat when its bowl empty
😔
love the vid man fr i watched the whole thing plz play more
it's always amazing watching a streamer play subnautica for the first time, i'm glad my favorite content creator finally went ahead and did it.
I never even really thought of this but it’s interesting that the sunbeam got absolutely vaporized by the gun yet the aurora is still mostly intact, like surely the devs just didn’t want to deal with a more elaborate animation but also is there any explanation in game for that? Is the sunbeam a smaller vessel?
Yes, Sunbeam was a much smaller vessel, I believe it only held 5 people while the Aurora held over 100
You know, I think I figured out why the soundtrack can feel so scary. I don't know much about music, but I've noticed that it always feels like very dramatic ambiance, like something new and big is being revealed. And as a result, you as the player somehow end up feeling *smaller.*
His reaction to the scanning noise / new item scares me more than the noise 😂
dude that scares me every time oml
You never realize how scary the game is until you play it. As someone who has put around 59 hours into this game my friend would always make fun of me for being scared until he tried the game and he never even got in the water. This game drains the life out of you when your first play it. And don't even get me started when you first hear or see a reaper. Every time chat is making fun of Eric i know the feeling he has and I've been there before. It really is quite fumy now that can just say shut up to a reaper and kill it.
Nice! Somethin to do this afternoon. 5 hours of some of the best content aroun.
4:51:30 best jumpscare of the whole VOD. Though 2:22:50 is a close second.
I feel like Abby at 1:25:22 is a good one, although not in-game.
my favorite part was at 1:25:25 when abby scares the shit out of pointcrow lol
Edit: messed up the time a bit
I've been watching your content on TH-cam for 2 or 3 months now, and you're now the first and only streamer I've ever paid to subscribe to on Twitch. You're an awesome person and I have truly enjoyed every piece of content I've watched, and I've watched through probably 40 to 50 hours of full streams.
Watching part 2 on Twitch live right now, and I want you to know how much you're appreciated. I'm so pumped about this I just ordered the game for myself.
"Don't worry chat, I won't have a panic attack"
Famous last words when playing this game.
2:39:35 - everyone jokes about the sea-bear but no one ever asks how the sea-moose is doing.... that's a damn shame 😆
You've been planning on playing this game for a while now, so anyone that tries to claim that you're copying are not the brightest bulbs in the house. Just glad to see you getting to it.
53:31 when he was just standing there like that with the repair tool I was like “it’ll buff out”
Eric's reaction at 2:22:54 nearly made me choke to death on my Dr. Pepper
Seeing him struggle to find sulfer gives me flashbacks
Pointcrow: "Hey please don't give your opinion if it is 'hey you're copying smallant'"
Be me: OMG!!! Pointcrow is playing subnautica as well!? HELL YEAH LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
33:01 Oh eric you sweet man. You're in for a hell of a ride
1:25:17
What's gonna scare him? Is it a leviathan? A giant squid?
NO! HIS GIRLFRIEND!.... or is that his mom.
Neither, that’s his Manager/Roomate, Abby
I'm in love with this game. Watching from a newbie prospective was awesome!! I felt almost like I was playing it again for the first time. WELL DONE!!
I never knew I needed this playthrough so bad
Love you point crow! =] i love subnautica and am glad you are playing it! I haven't watched much of the vod yet but I hope you enjoy it!
I like how half of chat was just like drink the ocean
A full playthrough of this would be epic
Hell yes! Time for some Subnauseous! I love this game.
Ah yes a fellow fan of the septic eye
“Subnauseous” gives me flashbacks!
Me rewatching this in 2024 because this was one of my fav series and hearing the “oh BOTW 2 will probably be delayed by max 6 months” welp.
so excited for this series
Pointcrow, i don't know if you are gonna read this, but your audience is with you, supporting you, don't let those smallant viewers (the weird ones) ruin your day. im in love with both your playthroughs, and i can't wait to see you both progress in your own ways
did something happen...? Is it okay if I ask? I watch both of them and I wasn't aware that something had taken place. I understand if you rather not explain. Thank you.
@@tigerlily9965 I think josue vargas is referring to the toxicity that some smant commenters have displayed on this vod calling Pcrow a copycat of smant
@@wapper1965 Thank you. I watched his next Subnautica stream and I think I get what happened. I'm really sad that Ant allowed such toxicity and I sadly don't feel comfortable supporting him any longer. It brings the streamers integrity to question. I hope at some point Ant will take responsibility cause I really feel like he has a lot of good qualities.
Crows to nice for his own good lol hes being endlessly tormented but constantly apologetic to chat and making sure everyones having a good time without feeling bad for him 😂
1:10 "I won't have a panic attack, it's fine."
Sure, whatever you need to tell yourself...
"I won't have a panic attack, it's fine." He said well look at 2:22:50
Eric is one of the most genuine streamer/human being I’ve ever seen wow I love him, he’s amazing and I can relate to him on so many levels, and his chat is so tame and knows when things are pushing it, it’s such a amazing dynamic to see, even when pointcrow is upset or having a little issue he keeps his smile on. I’m new to this community but I’m glad to be here.
“Seaglide fragment, I don’t know what that is… OH, IT’S THE SEAGLIDE!”
Pointcrow, after jumping in the water for the first time: I hear like, a heartbeat (under the water) y'know?
Mr. Crow that's not a sound effect, that is _your_ heart.
Eric: having fun playing subnautica because chat is having fun
Also Eric: questioning everything as soon as he hears the creepy alien voice 😂
Pointcrow realising that the game goes a lot deeper and the water isn’t that dark at night compared to how the surface looks
Came to the vod because I caught part of the stream live but missed the beginning and had to sleep through the end. I brought the game myself after your stream because it looks amazing but I'm a bit worried about freaking myself out whilst playing it! I'm probably going to rewatch the whole vod, and procrastinate on starting my own playthrough when I get home from work :)
2:39:48 lol I probably combed through the shallows and red grass for over hour and picked the exact same spot for my base
I also have JUST started my first game of Subnautica. Granted, I have seen plays of it, specifically NeebsGaming and Jesse Cox, but they aren't very detailed on progression or deep into story. I'm loving the game so far. Really wanna make a cyclops, but haven't discovered all the parts yet. Hope you enjoy this as much as I am!
I hate how when pointcrow asks a question, half of the people don’t even respond correctly, he asks for them to say yes or no, but they respond with much more detail
This is game is so good at making you freak the hell out at every new sound you hear
I’m terrified of the ocean too let’s go pointcrow
The most satisfying thing about subnautica is collecting resources imo,there’s just something about breaking that rock and getting something,And it’s so satisfying to scan everything too.
That quick *dink dink dink* just hits the spot from breaking ore’s
Do you ever get collector’s anxiety?
As a subnautica pro, the first hour was the most infuriating gameplay I've ever watched.
The only thing to fear is fear itself
Pointcrow: *I'd beg to differ*
Eric: I'm terrified I think I'm gonna cry
Also Eric: This is actually so fun
Hey man, just started the video and got to hear about the hate that you get just from playing a game that "another" streamer also played. I'm sorry to hear that:( I love both yours and his content and i hate that you have to approach this alone. I really hope it gets better!
Best regards
It does not seem like it will get better because PointCrow is already considered similar enough to SmallAnt and was generally considered less skilled than SmallAnt. He has a very bad reputation that is not going to go away.
It should, but it will not.
@@iantaakalla8180 Yeah, I agree, I dont think people will stop even though they should, well I at least hope it will get a little better!
"It's much worse then it looks"
Is a perfect way to sum up Subnautica
Please upload the 2nd video soon! This game is amazing!
I don't think there is a second vid yet! I think this is from the thursday stream so the next one he'll probably do is this upcoming Thursday on the twitch channel? So it will probably be a bit til that stream gets to youtube vods
My two favourite games are Undertale/Deltarune and Subnautica, so this has been a great couple of weeks so far
Theyre in my top games too, so im feeling the same way
I'm SO excited. Subnautica is one of my favorite games ever and I've wanted you to play this. I am so pumped!!
Has no storage. Throws away storage container.
It doesn't matter that smant has already played this, I love seeing the two different reactions of the game and the different ways you both play.
You're not smant and he isn't you, you're both different streamers and I love both of your content.
Can't wait to see more of this game on this channel, its one of my faves and I'm really enjoying watching you play it (can't watch the streams cause I'm in the UK and it's too late at that point)
Please ignore the comments about you copying smant cause you're not, you're both different streamers both producing great content ^^
eric this stream was awesome normally i never fully watch a live stream but this was the first time i ever did and it was awesome i can't wait until you return to this game next week and trust me this was just the begining the game will get way better then it is now and i think everyone else is also really enjoying you play subnautica
ps: that time capsule you found is pretty rare it is something another player left for someone else to find when and they are pretty rare and you got a statis rifle that is an late game item your really lucky that you got that that was it bye until next week hope you see this
I was not expecting AstralSpiff to raid PointCrow during this stream, or ever lmao. But dammit crow *Feddy Fazbear’s?!!* Imma cry.
EDIT: [link removed xd check reply]
PCROW talks briefly about the issue with the other streamer on his sub Reddit
Original comment:
I'm super sorry for asking this, I know that the "other streamer" kind of puts off the persona that he's better than everyone else and like lets his viewers run away with it, is that the only issue? or is there more? Pcrow seems to indicate that there's more and I would like to know if I'm missing something
Is anyone able to fully explain what happened between PointCrow and [other streamer]?
Serious
Also I hope it's alright for me to ask. I've looked around the internet for answers but I've got nothing concrete.
u/[sorry for deleting this name]
They still like each other and are friends, but their chat are fucking assholes. Back when they first started doing pokemon races, they'd jokingly make fun of each other and lie to each other, but their chat took things way too far and started raiding the others chat to say vile things. It was sad and hurtful for both, so they stopped making content together
Edit: they're no longer friends, someone commented the vod lower down, good watch but hella sad
u/Ohtovia
That sucks. I hate it when collabs are ruined because of immature communities.
u/PointCrow
Hi! I think it’s important to note that the immature communities were fostered by bad presentation of me in shorter form content and treatment overall. One example is the Pokémon map randomizer collab where I’m constantly called a cheater/liar and he played up our misunderstanding of rules in the video
Yeah it sucks but I’m moving on. It’s been present for a while now but Ive just gotten more confident in myself and my own content to mention that this has been happening and sorta stand up against it. I’ll probably get some backlash for it, but until I’m treated as just another creator rather than living in his shadow, you can expect no more collabs
I’m skiing right now lmao so this might be scuffed writing. Hopefully it doesn’t get worse and I don’t have to talk on it any further. Mentioned it on stream as an FYI since people were asking. Cheers :)
Edit: tl;dr shit happens, let’s move on 👍
1:20:10 Anybody know what is the context behind that? He said it pretty seriously so I’m wondering
Smants viewers are toxic and come into pcrows comments and chat to tell him he’s just bad smallant and a worse version pretty much. He tried telling smant about it and smant shrugged him off so they’re no longer friends
@@Skedaddle_Skanoodle yeah like it’s sad because many other youtubers address not sending hate and call them out when their fanbase is being horrible but smallant doesn’t. It sucks cause I really enjoyed their vids together but I understand not wanting to do videos with someone who doesn’t take accountability for their toxic fanbase.
I freakin' love Subnautica
Agreed!
He’s just beginning to get to the good stuff
Famous last words "it's a little scary"
I’m surprised how many people seem to be afraid of the ocean. And how many of them end up playing Subnautica.
What better way to seek exposure therapy for a fear of the ocean? Particularly a fear of the deep ocean.
damn its sad that crow and small ant arent friends anymore bc i found him through smant but ended up liking his content/personality more. Sucks that people are toxic for literally no reason.
I must have missed something recently D: I also found point crow through ant but definitely watch crow much, much more often.
What happened
@@brots3 From what I heard, people tend to say that pcrow is a worse version of small ant over and over and over again which obviously kinda sucks and can hurt a lot. But they didn't part in a bad way tho. They just don't do stuff together anymore
@@ryothelegend3221 yeah it's always the fans that make things shitty. Ant has been off of zelda for a while, but now that he's back trying any% maybe they'll do stuff? Hope there's nothing bad between them D:
@@Argetbrisingr101 I don't think that the 2 of them will start to do things together again sadly. I really liked them as a duo. But the fans just ruined it for the time
Friends: Stop cursing!
Me: 2:22:56
You’re making me wanna play subnautica again so bad
4:45 I also agree
